Wizard Earl

Chapter 628 Untitled

Seeing that he couldn't shake off Connor behind him and would be caught up sooner or later, Tusam hesitated for a moment. A few seconds later, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he simply stopped running. He pulled hard on the reins and stopped the carriage. Then Tusam got out of the carriage and looked deeply at Connor chasing after him.

Seeing that Tusam had stopped running, Connor, who had caught up, also stopped about ten meters away from Tusam and confronted him.

"Connor Ferguson, I think you should understand that we met for the first time in the swamp that day. We had never had any hatred or conflict of interest before. My killing you was not my own will. The mastermind behind it was old Victor. I was just following orders!"

"Besides, although we fought in the swamp that day, you escaped unscathed, while I lost four men and almost fell into your formation. By any measure, you didn't lose out, did you? There's no need for you to fight me to the death." Looking at Connor, Tusam spoke slowly with a calm expression. Although his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, the injuries on his body and the secret society's pursuers behind him made Tusam's words carry a hint of weakness.

Although he desperately wanted to go up there right now and make Tusam pay, Connor suppressed his anger in order to find out about Varga and coldly asked, "Where is Varga?"

Seeing that Connor did not answer his question but instead asked Varga, Tusam felt that he seemed to have misunderstood Connor's purpose.

When Tusam first discovered that Connor was chasing after him, he was surprised and thought that old Victor had found Connor in order to hunt him down. So his previous statement was meant to explain the situation to Connor, telling him that it was all old Victor's doing, and that he was just a clerk and had nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't blame him!

But Connor's question, "Where is Varga?" made Tusam realize that Connor's pursuit of him might not be for old Victor at all, but for Varga!

"What's your relationship with the other two?" Just like Connor, Tusam didn't answer Connor's question directly. Instead, he asked Connor in return: In the selfish wizarding world, for a wizard to hunt down another wizard for his sake, either the two wizards have a very deep bond or they have a conflict of interest!

"I'll ask you again, where is Varga?" Connor's gaze grew colder, and with a flick of his wrist, the Castiel Staff appeared in his hand.

Seeing the Castilian magic circle appear in Connor's hand, Tusam, who had experienced the power of the Castilian staff in the swamp, narrowed his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he seemed to succumb to Connor's threat and slowly said, "Valga is in..." You can go to hell!

Without warning, Tusam suddenly roared and quickly took out a black crystal ball with many mysterious patterns on its surface from his spatial ring. He then hurled it at Connor. After doing this, Tusam turned around and returned to the carriage, urging it to move forward, seemingly very confident in the black crystal ball he had thrown.

Connor's two consecutive inquiries further convinced Tusam that Connor had come because of Varga. This made Tusam, who had initially planned to reason with Connor and see if he could persuade him to go back and cause trouble for old Victor, immediately abandon that idea. Although he hadn't captured Varga and she had escaped to the Sensi villa, the fact remained that he had severely injured her. If Connor truly came for Varga, he would never let Tusam go. Therefore, there was no point in arguing; war was the only option!

Although Tusam's black crystal ball came very quickly, Connor was not unprepared. A murderous intent appeared in his narrowed eyes, and with a wave of his hand, an abyss chain shot straight towards the black crystal ball, which was precisely intercepted and killed ten meters away from him!

"Bang!"

Faced with the powerful interception of the Abyss Chains, the black crystal ball seemed rather vulnerable, and was directly shattered by the Abyss Chains. A thick, foul-smelling black aura spread everywhere, and what was terrifying was that wherever this black aura passed, whether it was flowers or century-old trees, they all withered instantly, which was extremely horrifying.

Seemingly sensing something from the black mist, Connor frowned slightly. With a thought, the Castilian Staff in his hand glowed faintly, and a blue-black barrier instantly appeared around him, blocking the black mist leaking from the crystal ball.

Although the black aura was terrifying, it was still no match for the incredibly strong defensive barrier of Castile. Connor observed carefully and found that as long as he stayed quietly inside the barrier for a minute, the black aura would naturally dissipate and have no effect on him. However, Connor also knew very well that Tusam, who threw out the black crystal ball, did not expect the crystal ball to harm him at all. He only wanted to use this evil black aura to temporarily trap him, buy himself time to escape, and shake off his pursuit!

Glancing at the black mist outside his barrier, Connor's angular face revealed a disdainful sneer. Tusam really had run out of tricks. He thought he could get rid of him with this black mist. What wishful thinking!

"Dickmas... Udinese... Penznibio..."

Connor, inside the barrier, chanted ancient and obscure incantations, his hands forming spells in front of his chest as he struck at the Castilian barrier. As Connor cast his spell, the blue-black light on the Castilian barrier intensified. Seeing this, Connor's eyes turned cold, and he pointed forward, then quickly advanced. The Castilian barrier stood in front of Connor, protecting him from the black energy.

Connor moved quickly, and in just a few seconds, protected by the Castilian barrier, he had broken free of the area shrouded in black mist. However, Tusam and his carriage had vanished without a trace into the boundless wilderness, though the tracks on the dirt road clearly showed the direction they had gone…
