Wizard Earl

Chapter 526 Cunning and Treacherous (2)

The green-robed elder, bearing three wounds and bleeding profusely, quickly took out a bottle of medicine from his spatial ring, hoping to recover. However, after taking the medicine, his wounds not only failed to heal, but the bleeding seemed to increase.

Connor observed this scene with his mental power, and a cold smile appeared on his face. Ever since he became a senior wizard apprentice, he had never reduced his enhancement of the Castiel Staff, and the black knight in the Castiel circle and the knife in the black knight's hand were the focus of his enhancement.

Because of Connor's breakthrough in cultivation, and with Connor's enhancement of the Castia Magic Array, the Black Knights formed from dark energy became even more solid. Now, each Black Knight in the Castia Magic Array is equivalent to a novice wizard apprentice with enhanced physical body but no mental power. Furthermore, because they have no emotions and do not feel pain, the actual combat power of the Black Knights is even stronger than that of an ordinary novice wizard apprentice.

The sword in Darth Vader's hand, enhanced by Connor, has also become formed from condensed dark energy. In fact, due to its smaller size, the sword is even more solid than the dark energy in Darth Vader's hand. The direct benefit of this is that wounds inflicted by this sword are extremely difficult to heal. Furthermore, due to the repulsion between dark energy and other energies, taking ordinary medicine to heal the wounds will not only be ineffective, but will also worsen the injury, just like the old man in the green robe did.

Sensing the worsening of his injuries, the green-robed elder trapped in the magic circle immediately sensed something was wrong. However, he had no better way to deal with the situation and could only endure it. On the other side, although Connor did not take down the green-robed elder in one fell swoop, he was in a much better position with an absolute advantage. However, because the ten black warriors in the magic circle were destroyed, they could not fully recover in time.

Furthermore, the old man in green robes possessed a terrifying ability to corrode and pollute, which made Connor extremely wary. In addition, the possibility of this old bastard making a desperate move made Connor somewhat hesitant to act rashly. Instead of directly entering the magic circle to engage in close combat with the old man in green robes, Connor stood outside the magic circle, quietly restoring the Black Knight while launching mental attacks on the old man in green robes trapped in the magic circle from time to time, amplified by the spiritual power of the silver pendant, in an attempt to interfere with and wear down the old man in green robes.

The old man in green robes wasn't stupid. After being hit by Connor's mental attacks two or three more times, he was already feeling listless. He forced himself to rush toward the barrier of the magic circle, trying to break through it directly. However, after the previous exertion, the old man in green robes, who was still injured, not only failed to break through the circle as he wished, but also suffered a head injury and was hit by another mental attack from Connor.

Just outside the magic circle, Connor watched with a smile as the old rascal struggled like a cornered beast, preparing to slowly wear him down. But then, a resolute look appeared on the old rascal's face, and he made a move to transfer all his magic power into the dark green crystal ball in his hand. The crystal ball immediately showed violent energy fluctuations.

Seeing the old man in green robes' crazy actions, Connor's expression immediately became extremely astonished. As an alchemist, he naturally knew very well what this old bastard was doing. He was going to self-destruct the crystal ball in his hand that complemented his abilities, and then use the power of the crystal ball's self-destruction to break out of the magic circle!

Convincing himself of his surprise, Connor's expression immediately turned serious. As an enemy, Connor was reluctant to admit it, but he had to acknowledge that this green-robed old bastard was indeed a ruthless man. The choice he had made was the best course of action under the current circumstances. The old bastard was moving very quickly, and it was now virtually impossible for Connor to stop him.

Connor quickly considered the matter, then sighed helplessly and opened a small hole in the Castia magic circle. When Connor released him, the old man in green robes showed a hint of joy on his face. He immediately stopped his self-destruction of the dark green crystal ball and crawled into the hole that Connor had opened for him.

If there were no other way, who would willingly detonate a demonized artifact that matched their cultivation techniques and abilities, and which they had cultivated for decades? However, compared to his life, he could only abandon this dark green crystal ball.

Just as the old man in the green robe crawled out of the small hole, Connor, feeling tricked by the old man, gripped the silver pendant and launched another mental attack. Under the cover of the mental attack, two abyssal chains condensed from Connor's hands and attacked the old man in the green robe.

Connor's sudden attack seemed to have been anticipated by the old green-robed rascal. A ruthless look appeared on his face as he chanted an ancient and obscure incantation. With a swift movement of his right hand, he actually chopped off his own left arm. Just as he had severed his own left arm, he was struck by Connor's mental attack once again. This time, the old green-robed rascal bled from all seven orifices, his aged face contorted in pain. But the old man still persevered and finished chanting the incantation.

As soon as he finished chanting his incantation, his left arm, which he had severed and dropped to the ground, swelled up five or six times its original size and then exploded with a "boom." Within a radius of ten meters, a highly corrosive, dark green mist burst open. Upon seeing this, Connor immediately retrieved the Abyss Chains and moved far away.

A dozen seconds later, the dark green mist dissipated slightly, and the old green scraggly man had already run hundreds of meters away. Just as Connor, unwilling to give up, was about to chase after him, his attention was suddenly drawn to a jade box on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, Connor waved his hand, and the jade box immediately fell into his hand. Opening the jade box, Connor looked closely and saw three Lecce fruits that he had just seen at the Meazza and the club, lying quietly inside.

Connor glanced at the Lecce River fruit in the jade box, then at the old man in the green robe who had become a black dot in the distance. A complex light flashed in Connor's eyes, but in the end he did not chase after him.

He had no choice but to make a hole in the green-robed old bastard's formation to let him out of the Castilian magic circle!

Although the dark green crystal ball that the old green-robed scoundrel wanted to self-destruct was significantly less powerful than his Castilian Staff, it was still a very good second-tier enchanted item. In addition, it had unique corrosive and polluting properties. However, if this crystal ball self-destructed in the Castilian magic circle, it would very likely blast a gap in the Castilian magic circle.
