Chapter 690 Severely Injures Old Victor

Just as Varga thought Connor would agree to her plan, smiled slightly at him, and walked towards the Castilian magic circle, Connor suddenly reached out to stop her, shook his head, and said, "Old Victor will emerge from the magic circle in thirty seconds. Varga, be prepared to give him a good beating!"

Connor's choice puzzled Varga. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but before she could utter a sound, Connor shook his head heavily, indicating that he had made his decision. Seeing that Connor's attitude was very firm, Varga could only remain silent, nod silently, and accept Connor's arrangement.

Varga's confusion didn't escape Connor's notice. Connor knew what she was thinking, but he only glanced into the distance, towards the city of Loen. At that moment, Connor desperately hoped that Margaret's familiar purple figure would appear somewhere.

Connor's reason for not letting Varga enter the Castia magic circle was entirely based on Varga's strength. For her safety, Varga's suggestion seemed very appealing, but old Victor in the magic circle was not someone to be trifled with at this moment. This old guy was now more than capable of fighting.

If it really comes to the last moment, and old Victor becomes desperate, Varga, who has entered the Castia magic circle, might be dragged down with him. Given Connor's current physical condition, Connor believes that neither he nor Varga can prevent this outcome.

If that's the case, and killing old Victor would come at the cost of Varga's life, then Connor would refuse without hesitation, even though he might regret not killing old Victor today in the future.

If it were Margaret instead of Varga beside Connor at this moment, Connor would not hesitate to let Margaret enter the Castia magic circle. Of course, this is not because Varga holds a higher position in Connor's heart, or because Connor is unwilling to let Varga take risks, but is willing to let Margaret take risks instead.

In truth, his feelings for Varga Donner were more of gratitude and guilt, while his feelings for Margaret and Connor were more of romantic love...

This choice was made entirely based on the strength of Margaret and Varga. On the day of Margaret's battle with Martina, although Margaret only used blood magic and did not use the storm magic she inherited from the Storm Church and cultivated since childhood, which was extremely pure, the situation of almost crushing Martina still made Connor, who was watching the battle from a distance, clearly realize that Margaret's actual combat strength had now completely surpassed his!

So if Margaret were here now, Connor believed that the two of them working together, even at the risk of getting injured, would most likely be able to take down old Victor. But now that Margaret wasn't here, and he had Varga, the apothecary, by his side, Connor could only sigh inwardly!

"boom!"

Despite Connor's best efforts to suppress it, it was obvious that old Victor was no stranger to the Castia magic circle. After carefully observing the structure and nodes of the magic circle, old Victor clearly discovered the weak node of the Castia magic circle. Then he released a golden beam of light that accurately struck the node, and the Castia magic circle trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Connor shook his head helplessly, gave Varga a wink to signal her to get ready, and then took the initiative to open a small hole in the Castilian magic circle, just big enough for one person to pass through.

Old Victor wasn't immediately fooled by Connor. He hesitated for a moment, but perhaps the side effects of the kerosene lamp in his hand were starting to take effect, and an unnatural flush appeared on his aged face. This made Old Victor impatient to continue blasting a small hole in the Castia magic circle for him to escape. So, even though Old Victor knew that Connor wouldn't be so kind as to let him out of the magic circle, he could only fly towards the hole that Connor had opened for him.

Even though old Victor was prepared, with the black stone ring on his finger shining brightly and forming a shiny black light shield to protect him, he was immediately attacked by more than ten blood-red vines from Varga, who had been lying in ambush outside the small cave exit, as soon as he came out of the magic circle.

Corroded by the crimson vine sap, the glossy black shield formed by the black stone ring did not last long, disintegrating in just a few seconds. The crimson vine struck old Victor, who, despite being protected by golden light, trembled violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just as Varga's face lit up with joy and she was preparing to continue the pursuit, old Victor gave Connor a deep look, then threw out a pale purple crystal ball from his spatial ring. A red light then appeared beneath his feet again, and in just one breath, he darted over a hundred meters away.

Upon seeing the pale purple crystal ball thrown by old Victor and sensing the intense energy fluctuations on it, Connor, thinking it was an alchemical bomb, immediately cried out in alarm. Before he could warn anyone, he swiftly moved Vargara, who was almost within reach and about to give chase, aside.

Ten seconds later, Connor pulled Varga more than ten meters away. Seeing that Old Victor had disappeared from sight and the crystal ball had not exploded, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. After a quick thought, Connor signaled Varga to wait where she was, while he himself gripped the Castilian Staff and carefully walked towards the pale purple crystal ball that Old Victor had thrown.

Approaching the pale purple crystal ball, Connor observed it closely and discovered that although the crystal ball's energy fluctuations resembled an alchemical bomb, it was not actually an alchemical bomb.

Although he had confirmed that the pale purple crystal ball was not the alchemical bomb he had imagined, Connor, out of caution, still did not immediately touch it. His alchemy was inherited from Reyes, and Connor was very clear about how many insidious alchemical items that looked no different from ordinary crystal balls but actually harbored deadly dangers and could cause one's death if one was not careful, were recorded in "Reyes Alchemy".

After another minute of inspection, Connor, glancing at the pale purple crystal ball, curled his lips into a cold smile. Then, he lightly tapped the crystal ball, and a beam of black light shot out, striking three points on the ball…
