Chapter 689 The Sudden Appearance of Varga

Because of his emotional trauma, Connor's reactions were slowed down. However, before Connor could realize what was happening, he felt a familiar fragrance waft towards him, and a pair of soft hands supported him from behind!

"Valga!" Connor exclaimed with delight, looking at the beautiful woman before him with a worried expression.

"Um!"

Feeling sorry for Connor, Varga responded to Connor and then took out a light blue potion from her spatial ring and handed it to Connor.

After receiving the potion from Varga, Connor took it immediately. Less than three seconds after the potion entered his mouth, Connor felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout his body. After enjoying this feeling for a few seconds, his mental and physical injuries and fatigue were relieved. Connor nodded emphatically to Varga, then gripped the Castia Staff again and began to activate the Castia Magic Circle.

Although old Victor has fallen into the Castia magic circle, it does not mean that he will be captured. After the previous fierce battle, the power of the Castia staff has been greatly reduced, which means that the control of the Castia magic circle has also decreased. Now Connor must personally preside over the magic circle, otherwise old Victor may break out of the circle!

Most importantly, the Castia Staff is an alchemical artifact recorded in "Reyes Alchemy," and it was also an artifact that Reyes had Connor craft. Connor may not know the structural weaknesses of this magic circle, given who he has fought against, but old Victor, as Reyes's steward, is very likely aware of the weaknesses of the Castia Magic Circle.

At this moment, Victor, who had also been greatly exhausted after falling into the magic circle, took out a potion from his spatial ring and took it while carefully and cautiously observing his surroundings within the magic circle, without making any rash moves!

Seeing old Victor like this, Connor felt a sense of foreboding for some reason. After a moment of thought, he whispered to Varga behind him, "Varga, if old Victor breaks through the formation in a moment..."

"Don't worry, I'll stop him!" Before Connor could finish speaking, Varga, who seemed to understand Connor perfectly, said, "I'll stop him!"

With Varga's permission, Connor's expression softened slightly. He took a deep breath and focused his attention back on old Victor, who was trapped in the magic circle. Old Victor seemed to sense the spiritual energy Connor had projected onto him, and with a half-smile, he looked at the misty sky above the magic circle before saying in a low, aged voice, "Young Master Connor, this is the Castilian Magic Circle, isn't it?"

After asking his question, old Victor didn't wait for Connor's reply. He continued with a sigh, "I've seen the Professor cast the Castia Magic Circle countless times, but being trapped inside it is truly a first!"

Old Victor's remark stirred something in Connor's heart. Judging from the meaning behind Old Victor's words, could it be that Reyes had also crafted and used the Castia Staff?

Although he had some doubts, Connor did not stop casting the spell. He cast a spell into the magic circle, and the mist in the circle immediately became thicker. At the same time, the restrictions in the magic circle all exerted their power, suppressing old Victor's mental and magical power.

Feeling the pressure exerted on him by the magic circle, old Victor smiled slightly, then put his cane back into his spatial ring, and quickly took out a kerosene lamp-like alchemical item from the ring.

Just as Connor was condensing the Black Knight within the Castilian magic circle, preparing to assassinate Old Victor, and wondering what purpose Old Victor would have with the "kerosene lamp," Old Victor lightly scratched his right index finger with his fingernail, drawing blood. As he did this, a strange smile appeared on Old Victor's aged face as he looked at the surrounding mist.

The next second, he dripped the blood from Old Victor's index finger onto the seemingly unremarkable "kerosene lamp." The crimson blood did not linger on the "kerosene lamp," but was absorbed directly by it as if swallowed.

Outside the Castia magic circle, Connor, who sensed this scene with his spiritual power, felt an increasingly strong sense of foreboding. Without further preparation, Connor released the six Black Warriors that had been condensed within the magic circle. Under the cover of the dense black mist, they attacked Old Victor, who was holding a kerosene lamp.

As soon as the six Black Knights moved, the "kerosene lamp" in Old Victor's hand emitted an orange-red light. Under the illumination of this orange-red light, the black mist that filled the magic circle gradually began to dissipate. Without the cover of the black mist in the magic circle, Connor's Black Knights immediately became slower and were exposed to Old Victor's sight.

With an expressionless face, old Victor flicked his fingers at the six exposed Black Knights, sending out streaks of golden light. Connor's Black Knights were instantly blasted into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the magic circle without any resistance.

This scene made Connor's face grow increasingly grim. It was clear that old Victor had been prepared for his Castilian magic circle. However, the "oil lamp" in old Victor's hand must have had significant side effects after use; otherwise, he wouldn't have resisted the Castilian magic circle's formation so fiercely, not wanting to fall into it!

"Let me enter the magic circle!"

Just as Connor was racking his brains for a solution, Varga, who was standing next to him, seemed to see that Connor was in a difficult situation and couldn't help but offer him some advice. Upon hearing this, Connor subconsciously looked at Varga. Under Connor's gaze, Varga's expression was very serious, and she nodded to Connor, indicating that she was ready.

Seeing this, Connor hesitated for a moment. Varga's suggestion seemed like a good idea! Although Connor had just taken the recovery potion given to him by Varga and his appearance seemed to have improved considerably, his injuries were still there. If Connor were to enter the magic circle and fight old Victor, he estimated that he wouldn't be able to last long.

However, if Varga were to enter the Castilian magic circle at her peak, facing an old Victor who could be described as "half-crippled," and also within the Connor magic circle, her chances of victory seemed quite good...
