Wizard Earl

Chapter 580 The Great Battle (6)

Perrin glanced at Connor, who had broken free from the fire mist, his eyes filled with apprehension. As a fellow member of the Seta Cult with Wanda, he knew very well how powerful the fire mist unleashed by Wanda's rune umbrella was. The rune umbrella only accumulated enough fire-attribute energy particles to form fire mist once a year. With this method, Wanda had defeated many enemies. The reason Wanda dared to enter the factory knowing it was a trap was largely because this method gave her confidence.

In fact, the fact that this unidentified black-robed masked man could persist in the fire fog for so long was already quite surprising to Perrin. Now that this guy had emerged from the fire fog, Wanda didn't need to say anything more. Perrin wasn't a three-year-old child; he knew very well that if he didn't want to die, he only had one chance: to run! The faster he ran out of this abandoned factory, the better for him, and the safer he would be!

Perrin immediately took a deep breath and then roared. As he roared, several huge fire waves, each two meters high, surged out of the sea of ​​fire in the factory and crashed towards Connor and Margaret. Then, taking advantage of the cover of the huge fire waves, Perrin quickly helped up the seriously injured Wanda and ran out of the factory at top speed.

"Trying to leave?" Connor's lips curled into a cold smile. The moment the fire wave appeared, he knew exactly what Perrin and Wanda were up to. He exchanged a glance with Margaret, then, with a sudden thought, he cast the Castilian Barrier again, blocking all the fire waves. With Connor's protection, Margaret, free from worries, immediately focused on casting her spell, her entire body radiating ice energy.

As soon as the factory gate came into view, the two senior Celtic wizard apprentices immediately showed joyful smiles of relief. They both knew very well that once they stepped out of this gate, they would escape the trap of this abandoned factory and make a victorious escape. From then on, they would be free to fly high and wide, and escape the pursuit of the two mysterious men behind them.

Unfortunately, Wanda and Perrin's joyful smiles came far too soon. Just five meters from the factory gate, a wall of ice, a symbol of utter despair, materialized out of thin air and sealed the gate shut, completely extinguishing their hopes of escape.

At this critical moment, Perrin's reaction was commendable. Seeing the ice wall appear, he did not panic at all. He immediately began chanting a spell, gathering all the magic power in his body. With his efforts, in just one second, more than ten fireballs, each the size of a basketball, condensed around him. Then, with a wave of Perrin's staff, these fireballs all crashed down on the factory gate.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

So many fireballs slammed into the ice wall, creating several loud explosions. However, to Perrin's disappointment, while his fireballs were indeed powerful, they only managed to blast away a third of the ice wall. Two-thirds of the ice wall remained, waiting for him to destroy. But just as Perrin mustered his courage to continue, he discovered with despair that Connor and Margaret had already escaped the flames and appeared not far behind him. If he were to attack the ice wall again, these two would certainly not stand idly by!

While cautiously guarding against the enemy opposite him, Palin glanced at Wanda, who was severely injured beside him. He hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice, "Wanda, how are you now?"

Despite her severe injuries, Wanda remained clear-headed when Palin asked her question. She immediately understood his unspoken meaning and said in a low voice without expression, "Palin, if you can walk, then go by yourself. Don't worry about me!"

Seeing that Wanda had seen through his true thoughts, Palin, who wasn't that thick-skinned, immediately blushed and wanted to explain, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Wanda ignored Palin's thoughts and focused all her attention on Connor, who was wearing a black robe and a mask not far away. Her intuition told her that the man and woman wearing black iron masks in front of her, the one who had led her and Palin from the vicinity of Ferguson's apartment on Rand Street, was the mastermind behind everything!

Wanda gave Connor a deep look, then said bitterly, "It's come to this, and my companions and I concede! We swear, under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, that we will never again covet the Heart of Seta in your possession, and we will never reveal to anyone what happened today!"

For Wanda, although the Heart of Seta represented her only hope of breaking through to become a formal wizard, the current situation was already very clear. She was seriously injured and Palin was alone and unable to hold on, while the two opponents had a clear advantage. Moreover, in this desperate situation, Palin was not on her side and intended to abandon her, who was seriously injured, and escape alone. If they could not reach a humiliating but life-saving agreement, regardless of whether Palin could escape, Wanda would inevitably die in this deserted factory today!

Compared to death, losing the chance to break through to become a formal wizard is obviously not so unacceptable! Wanda had to admit that in the current situation, she had no hope of obtaining the Heart of Seta! After hearing Wanda's words, Perrin's expression changed slightly, but in the end, he did not refute Wanda's words and acquiesced to the conditions Wanda offered.

Wanda's premonition was absolutely correct. After she yielded, Margaret hesitated for a moment before turning her gaze to Connor, leaving the final decision to him. The reason she and Connor were standing there without immediately attacking to eliminate the threat was because they were still somewhat wary of the methods of Palin and Wanda, the two high-ranking Celtic wizard apprentices.

In Margaret's eyes, the methods of the Celtic wizards Perrin and Wanda were not to be underestimated. Whether it was Wanda's fire fog or Perrin's sea of ​​fire, even though she and Connor had the upper hand, they had indeed caused her and Connor a lot of trouble just now, almost causing them to capsize in the gutter!
