Wizard Earl

Chapter 525 Cunning Old Man

This green-robed old bastard may have a foul mouth and talk a lot, but that doesn't mean he's weak. On the contrary, the green-robed old man is quite powerful. Despite being hit by Connor's bulging mental shock and being somewhat dazed, he still managed to release a layer of dark green mist around himself in the first instant to block the attack of the Abyss Chains.

"What is this thing?" Connor was secretly shocked as he felt the dark green mist released by the old man corroding his Abyss Chains. His Abyss Chains were a talent spell attached to the high-level meditation method. It looked like a physical entity, but it was actually an energy body. And this dark green mist could even corrode an energy body. It was simply unbelievable.

A decisive glint flashed in his eyes. Connor flipped his hand and took out the Castiel Staff from his spatial ring. With the staff in hand, Connor took a deep breath and, in a flash, pulled the Abyss Chains back from the dark green fog. This dark green fog was truly strange and troublesome. In addition to corroding Connor's Abyss Chains, it also confused Connor's mental lock on the green-robed old man. In the fog, the Abyss Chains could not touch the green-robed old man at all and were corroded in vain.

Just then, the old man in green robes launched a counterattack. Connor's Abyss Chains had barely been pulled out of the dark green fog when more than a dozen brightly colored green crows screech as they rushed out of the fog and attacked him.

A glint appeared in Connor's eyes, and then countless incredibly sharp Yin Demon Slashes shot out from his hand, slashing towards the green raven.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Yin Demon Slash collided with the green crows in mid-air, producing a series of muffled thuds, but more green crows continued to crash into it.

He stood atop the Castilian protective barrier that Connor had erected in front of him.

It was only then that Connor realized the origin of these green crows. Although these crows looked lifelike and could make strange cries, they were not real crows at all. They were transformed from some kind of highly corrosive energy. Each green crow placed on the Castilian protective barrier would leave dark green stains and corrosive marks on the protective barrier, which should have been blue-black. This made Connor feel heartbroken!

What surprised Connor even more was that the instigator of all this, that old green-robed bastard, actually tried to slip away quietly under the cover of the green crow, showing none of the domineering aura he had when he had just threatened to "leave Connor alive"!

"Want to fight? Want to run away? You wish!" With a mocking smile, Connor slammed his hand heavily on Castia's staff. The ground beneath the feet of the green-robed old man, who had already quietly run dozens of meters away, immediately showed a blue-black six-pointed star magic circle.

The magic circle had just appeared beneath his feet when the green-robed elder realized the danger again and hurriedly tried to jump out of its range. However, before he could act, Connor, amplified by the mental power of the silver pendant, unleashed another mental attack on him from a distance. Although the green-robed elder was prepared for Connor's mental attack, the powerful mental force still caused a pained expression on his face, slowing his movements. By the time the green-robed elder reacted, the Castia Magic Circle had already solidified beneath his feet, and he was trapped in the cage that Connor had built for him.

The old man in green robes hadn't lived in vain despite his advanced age. After falling into Connor's magic circle, the situation was already very unfavorable for him, but he remained calm and composed. He didn't panic at all. He released the highly corrosive dark green mist from his body again and took out a dark green crystal ball from his spatial ring, holding it firmly in his hand as he vigilantly observed the black mist permeating the magic circle.

Observing this scene through his mental energy within the magic circle, Connor, who was outside the circle, frowned slightly. This old bastard was even more troublesome than he had imagined. Compared to the green-robed old man's current actions, Connor would rather the old guy be anxious to break out of the formation, so that Connor could seize the opportunity and take him down in one fell swoop while he was focused on breaking the formation.

Besides the old man in the green robe's actions, the dark green crystal ball in his spatial ring also made Connor feel a bit troubled. Judging from the energy fluctuations, this dark green crystal ball was a second-tier enchanted item. Although it didn't reach the standard of a top-tier second-tier enchanted item, it was still a very strong second-tier enchanted item. Moreover, if Connor's guess was correct, this dark green crystal ball matched the corrosive and polluting abilities that the old man was using. If that was the case, then the effect of this dark green crystal ball in the old man's hands would be greater than the sum of its parts.

After a quick thought, Connor made a decision and cast a spell into the Castia magic circle. Immediately, a solemn expression appeared on the face of the green-robed old man trapped in the Castia magic circle. He clearly felt the dual suppression of his mental and magical power from the magic circle. However, the next moment, another mental shock came from outside the magic circle and attacked him. At the same time, from the black mist surrounding him, ten black warriors wielding blades formed from dark energy rushed into the dark green mist he released and slashed at his neck, ankles and other vital points.

Connor had used this set of formations—suppression, mental attack interference, and the Black Knight's charge-and-kill routine—countless times in his battles, so he was very skilled at it. This time, facing the green-robed elder, Connor's actions were perfectly coordinated, leaving the elder little time to react before he was plunged into a life-or-death situation. However, this old fellow was no simpleton. Sensing the threat of death, he didn't hesitate at all. He slapped the dark green crystal ball in his hand and chanted an incantation. As the incantation rang out, the dark green crystal ball shone brightly, and the dark green mist surrounding the old man seemed to materialize and protect him.

Five of the ten black warriors didn't even have time to reach the green-robed elder in the dense, dark green fog before they were corroded into nothingness. As for the remaining five black warriors, although they fearlessly charged to the green-robed elder, their power was greatly reduced due to the presence of the dark green fog. They only managed to slash the green-robed elder once each on the back, arm, and ankle before they all fell, corroded away by the dark green fog just like the previous five black warriors.
