Wizard Earl

End of Chapter 587 (3)

Seeing that Perrin started fighting without warning, Connor shrugged slightly. Then, his black magic robe flashed, and he dodged all the fireballs. Standing in a safe place, Connor smiled and held up three fingers to Perrin, saying:

"Mr. Perrin, don't be in such a hurry! Your fellow disciples Lindelof, Alex Sandro, and Wanda yesterday all died at the hands of me, Connor Ferguson. And you, Mr. Perrin, are about to become the fourth high-ranking Celta Vision wizard apprentice to die at my hands. Do you feel a little honored, Mr. Perrin?" After saying that, Connor held up another finger at Perrin, making three fingers into four.

Connor's teasing and taunts completely enraged Perrin. He no longer cared about his serious injuries or the fact that Margaret was not in his sight. He began to wave his crimson staff and frantically summoned various fireballs, fire walls, fire waves, and other fire-attribute spells to attack Connor.

Connor, who was under attack, kept dodging using the lightness skill of his black magic robe. When he couldn't dodge anymore, he used the Shadow Slash to take the hit. So, Connor looked very disheveled under Perrin's fire magic attack, giving the impression that he was about to fall and could be killed by Perrin at any moment. However, despite the situation, there was no panic in Connor's eyes. On the contrary, a cunning look appeared.

What was his purpose in coming here? It was to capture Perrin alive and then use the Soul-Seizing Technique to extract the contents of the crystal seal in his head, not simply to kill Perrin to silence him and eliminate any potential threat!

Just now, after Connor, guided by the compass, discovered Perrin in the cave with his mental power, his first reaction was to join forces with Margaret to take down Perrin. However, when Connor's powerful mental power discovered that Perrin, who had been seriously injured just a few hours ago, had now recovered most of his injuries, he was truly surprised. After a quick consideration, he abandoned his original plan to join forces with Margaret and take down Perrin decisively!

Taking down Perrin swiftly was Connor's strategy based on Perrin's severe injuries. Now that the situation has changed, although Connor is extremely helpless and puzzled as to why Perrin has recovered so quickly, he can only accept this reality no matter how helpless or puzzled he is. He is forced to temporarily change his strategy with Margaret, having Margaret hide to cover for him and find an opportunity to ambush Perrin, while Connor himself steps forward to provoke Perrin and try to provoke him and deplete his magic power. Connor really doesn't believe that Perrin's severe injuries from a few hours ago have had no effect at all.

Even with Connor and Margaret working together, capturing a high-ranking wizard apprentice alive would be extremely difficult. Connor couldn't guarantee they would succeed, especially with the apprentice severely injured. The prospect of a desperate, desperate counterattack, willing to take someone down with them, was terrifying. Even if they managed to capture the apprentice, minor injuries would be unnecessary for Connor and Margaret, who were about to face Old Victor. This was particularly important for Connor, as his injuries from the magical backlash hadn't fully healed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Connor narrowly dodged several walls of fire and fireballs, which drove Perrin, who was gritting his teeth and looking ferocious, to the brink of madness. He then unleashed a frenzied attack on Connor, brandishing his staff. Seeing this, a strange smile crept onto Connor's lips. Instead of using his black magic robe to dodge Perrin's attacks as before, he simply flashed his hand, and the Castilian Staff appeared instantly in his grasp. A blue-black protective barrier then formed in front of Connor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Perrin's spell struck the Castilian barrier, only causing ripples to spread across the Castilian magic circle.

The barrier of Castia did not cause any real damage. However, just as Perrin's new power was being generated and his old power was fading, he was horrified to find that five storm ice spears flashing with cold light were coming from not far away and attacking him.

The five storm ice spears terrified Perrin. He desperately tried to cast spells to block them, but his injuries and the fact that Connor had just used up all the mana he had painstakingly accumulated left him helpless. He could only watch as four of the storm ice spears pierced through his two arms, two thighs, and abdomen, pinning him to the ground.

With his limbs and abdomen pierced by the Storm Ice Spear, Perrin immediately lost all ability to resist. In order not to let out a humble wail in front of Connor because of the pain, Perrin's face was twisted and ferocious, his whole body was trembling, and his lips were bleeding as he desperately endured his physical and mental pain.

Connor smiled and nodded toward the spot where Margaret was hiding in the distance, indicating that he would take care of the rest. Margaret, who had just fired five Storm Ice Spears to pin Perrin to the ground, also nodded and quietly left. She had been out for a while, and if she stayed any longer, the Church of Storms might become suspicious.

Meeting Perrin's venomous gaze, Connor shrugged indifferently, then dragged the defenseless Perrin into the cave where he had just been hiding. Frankly, that cave was a very suitable place to kill and hide...

"what!"

Ten minutes later, a desperate, pitiful wail echoed from the cave. Half an hour later, Connor emerged from the cave with a satisfied smile. As he left, driven by the drug, countless ants and insects crawled into the cave and began to devour Perlin's body. After a few minutes, seeing that Perlin had been eaten to death by the little creatures, Connor took out a pyrometallurgical bomb from his spatial ring and casually tossed it into the cave. Having done this, Connor turned and left. A few minutes later, a deafening explosion ripped through the cave, completely obliterating everything in its path from the terrifying shockwave…

However, shortly after Connor left, Martina, holding a green mirror, silently emerged from behind a large camphor tree in the forest not far from the cave.
