Wizard Earl

Chapter 670 Old Victor's Heartbreaking Past

"Hehe, facing a strongman like you, Butler Victor, I'm going to use this Derong potion anyway. Since that's the case, taking it a little earlier will result in fewer side effects than delaying it with wishful thinking. Don't you think so, Butler Victor?" Martina said to Old Victor meaningfully, a half-smile playing on her cold, beautiful face.

Upon hearing Martina's words, old Victor's expression changed instantly, as if a sore spot had been touched. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Martina. Without a word, he swung his aged arm at Martina, sending several golden beams of light hurtling towards her.

Faced with Old Victor's sudden attack, Martina showed no panic. With a thought, her Tier 2 combined enchanted jade bracelet instantly appeared on her snow-white face. The two jade bracelets immediately shone with light, and a barrier composed of ice, snow and lightning formed around Martina within a one-meter radius, protecting her.

With the terrifying boost from De Jong's potion, Martina's magical power has reached a new level she has never achieved before. With such powerful magical power, Martina can now use both the Emerald Bracelet and the Kahn Magic Bow, two top-tier second-tier enchanted items, to fight against Old Victor!

The golden beam of light from Old Victor struck the barrier protecting Martina. While it slightly distorted the barrier, it did little to damage it. Protected within the barrier, Martina, holding the Kahn Magic Bow, looked at Old Victor outside. Her amused expression shifted to a mocking one. Old Victor's furious attack proved that the rumors circulating within the secret society about him and the De Rong potion were not unfounded.

Legend has it that when old Victor was young, he was also a genius wizard. He became a senior wizard apprentice just over thirty years old, only one step away from becoming a full wizard. However, the reason why he has been stuck as a senior wizard apprentice for so many years and has not taken the next step to become a full wizard is entirely because of a fight!

It is said that the young and impetuous Victor faced off against a much stronger high-ranking wizard apprentice. As soon as they clashed, Victor was completely overwhelmed by his opponent, and his life was in great danger. Like Martina now, Victor had a bottle of De Jong potion on him. However, unlike Martina, Victor did not choose to take the De Jong potion immediately because he was wary of its side effects. Instead, he took it after a fierce battle when he could no longer hold on and had no choice but to escape.

This may not seem like a problem, but it is actually the biggest problem!

Potions like the De Rong Potion can save lives in critical moments, but they have extremely strong side effects. If the user recognizes the difference in strength between themselves and their opponent at the beginning of the fight, or even before it begins, and chooses to take the De Rong Potion in a desperate gamble, then the side effects of the De Rong Potion will be relatively fewer. However, if after the fight, your mana and mental energy are depleted, causing your physical condition to deteriorate, or you are simply injured, then taking the De Rong Potion under such physical conditions will result in more severe side effects.

The rumor is that Old Victor was in the latter situation. After being severely injured by his opponent, he knew he would die if he didn't take the De Jong potion. So he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take the De Jong potion. After receiving the powerful boost from the De Jong potion, Martina was able to escape with her life.

However, his cultivation level dropped directly from advanced wizard apprentice to intermediate wizard apprentice. It took him a full ten years to return to the level before taking the De Rong potion. But the side effects of the De Rong potion have not been eliminated. Up to now, fifty years later, the painstakingly dedicated old Victor has still not been able to take that most crucial step for a wizard apprentice: becoming a formal wizard!

Although old Victor didn't know how Martina knew this secret that was forever etched in his heart, since Martina had taken the initiative to touch his taboo, old Victor, with a chilling murderous intent in his eyes, had already decided that he would make Martina pay a price worse than death! He wanted to make Martina regret why she had provoked him!

Thinking of this, the golden beam of light released by old Victor became even denser and thicker. Under such suppression, Martina's barrier was squeezed and twisted even more. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before the golden beam of light unleashed by old Victor would break through the barrier and hit Martina inside.

Sensing the undisguised killing intent in Old Victor's eyes outside the barrier, and witnessing the energy depletion of the combined enchanted item, the jade bracelet, in her hand, Martina's calm expression masked a growing seriousness in her heart. Her choice of the Tidejun Potion, a wound in Old Victor's heart, was not merely for mockery or ridicule; she had her own motives.

Martina did this on purpose to provoke old Victor. Martina knew very well that even though she had taken the De Jong potion and her strength had been greatly enhanced, she had only gained the ability to fight against old Victor for a short period of time. It did not mean that she could escape from old Victor's clutches. It would still be extremely difficult, even impossible, to escape from the clutches of this cunning old fox!

Now that old Victor had entered the Semedo Mansion, Martina was convinced that, under his management, the mansion and even the area around Lewandowski Avenue had been thoroughly ensnared. Not to mention Roberto, that shameless, groveling lackey of old Victor, since he hadn't come in with him, he was definitely lying in ambush outside, waiting for her to rush out and deliver a fatal blow!

In this situation, the first and most important step to escape is to make Old Victor lose his mind, or to make his thinking less sharp. If this cannot be done, it is nothing but a pipe dream and wishful thinking to escape and survive!
