Wizard Earl

Chapter 60 Man proposes, God disposes

According to the description in "Reyes Alchemy", known enchanted items are divided into five levels, with level one enchanted items having the least power and level five enchanted items having the greatest power!

Most level one and two enchanted items do not require the user to be a wizard with magical power; ordinary people can use them. However, once an enchanted item reaches level three or higher, ninety-nine percent of the time, the user must be a wizard. Of course, this condition is not absolute. For example, the Storm Scepter, a level five enchanted item passed down through generations of the Storm Church as recorded in "Reyes Alchemy," does not necessarily require a wizard to use; ordinary people can also use it, but the effect will be far greater when used by a wizard than when used by an ordinary person.

The fact that Charles is now confirmed to be a mortal is very important to Connor, because according to the law of consumption of enchanted items, if Charles is a mortal, then the purple light shield in his hand is most likely a level two enchanted item. And because he is a mortal and has no magic power, the purple light shield consumes his own energy. Therefore, without the support of wizard magic power, Charles cannot cast the purple light shield for long!

Hiding behind the tombstone, Connor's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He detected no magical fluctuations from Charles using his mental energy. Connor believed his findings; he was certain that Charles was just a mortal!

At this moment, Mr. Charles was holding a purple light shield, carefully searching every corner of the cemetery, hoping to find Connor's trace.

Time ticked by, and Connor, hiding behind the tombstone, cautiously held his breath, hoping that the purple light shield in Charles's hand would run out of energy quickly. Although he had his innate spell, Shadow Chains, as a backup plan and ultimate trump card, Connor's premonition that Charles had other means besides the purple light shield grew stronger.

When Charles's purple light shield runs out of energy, that will be the time for Connor to launch a full-scale counterattack!

Unable to find Connor, Charles grew increasingly impatient. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his well-maintained face, and his once brisk pace slowed.

Connor sensed this through his mental power and narrowed his eyes. He pinned the Gwendolyn badge to his chest and held the Shadow Dagger in his hand.

Although Connor suspected that Charles was putting on an act, deliberately creating a loophole to lure him out, he had no choice but to come out because Charles had already searched the area around the three tombstones in front of him and expected to find his current hiding place in about ten seconds.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Hearing Charles's footsteps getting closer and closer, a ruthless look appeared on Connor's face. He chanted in a low voice, and black smoke immediately appeared on his palm. In the next instant, the black smoke condensed into two huge chains engraved with mysterious runes, which swept towards Charles.

As the black chains drew closer, a smug smile appeared on Charles's previously anxious face. He held up a purple light shield in front of him with his left hand, while a hexagonal crystal shimmering with dark red light appeared in his right hand, which he threw at Connor.

"Damn it!" Seeing the hexagonal object flying towards him, Connor didn't know what it was, but even a fool would know that what Charles threw at him at the last minute was definitely not a good thing; it must be a deadly move!

Without any hesitation, Connor decisively used his mental power to manipulate the Shadow Chains in front of him.

The hexagonal object, shimmering with a dark red light, thrown by Charles exploded before it even reached Connor!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Connor was thrown more than ten meters away by the terrifying shockwave from the explosion, like a broken kite.

"Haha, you little brat..."

When Charles saw Connor flying away, he burst into laughter, but before he could say anything, he looked down in astonishment at the shadowy dagger stuck in his heart!

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Charles stiffly turned his head to look at his left hand, where the once formidable purple light shield had vanished. Charles murmured, "My little Sane," before collapsing to the ground with a look of resentment on his face.

After a while, Connor, who had been flying away, stood up unsteadily and slowly walked to Charles's side. Looking at Charles lying on the ground, dead beyond any doubt, Connor had a complicated expression and shook his head!

Honestly! He really didn't expect things to develop this way. According to Kang An's original plan, with his strength, he could easily control an old man like Charles. Then he would use soul-capturing magic to find Charles's memories about the black market, and finally erase the information about himself from Charles's memories without anyone noticing.

But damn it! In the end, man proposes, God disposes!

Having already sensed that Charles had a backup plan, Connor used a clever trick. The Shadow Chains attack was so powerful that it couldn't be concealed, so Connor used the Shadow Chains as a feint to attract Charles's attention, while secretly manipulating the Shadow Dagger to ambush Charles.

The dark red hexagonal crystal that Charles threw out was incredibly powerful. If Connor had hesitated and hadn't used the Shadow Chains to block it, he might have been blown to bits by now!

Although that thing was terrifyingly powerful, Connor was lucky! Under the double protection of the Shadow Chains and the Gwendolyn Badge, Connor was affected to some extent and looked terrible, but he was actually not seriously injured. He would recover after a few days of rest. Moreover, the area affected by that thing was naturally very large. Although most of the power was applied to Connor, a considerable portion of the power was also applied to Charles.

The reason why Charles's purple light shield failed to stop Connor's sneak attack with the shadow dagger is that Charles is a mortal. He has no magic power to support the release of the purple light shield. The purple light shield is entirely supported by its own energy!

The Purple Light Shield had already consumed a significant amount of energy by blocking Connor's attack. Without the support of wizarding magic, after the Purple Light Shield blocked the power of the hexagonal crystal explosion for Charles, its own energy was insufficient to support the Purple Light Shield to continue casting, so it automatically shut down!
