Wizard Earl

Chapter 739 Encounter Battle

Thinking of this, Margaret's gaze towards Kohler became more serious. If she were in her prime, Margaret would naturally not be afraid of this old dog Kohler at all. However, her injuries had not yet healed, which greatly affected her combat strength. The best course of action now was to get away as soon as possible and not to get entangled with Kohler any further!

"I don't care who you are. You can leave, but you must hand over what you took from Kevin's Inn!" Looking at the blond young man before him, the expressionless Arbitrator of the Church of Rune Storms said in a deep voice:

Judging from the energy fluctuations revealed by the blond young man in front of him as he dodged his ice blade, Kohler was certain that the other party was a high-level wizard apprentice like himself. So, although he was very confident in his own strength, the other party was, after all, a wizard of the same level.

Even though the gaunt old man in white robes, Kohler, was confident in his own strength, he knew that he couldn't defeat his opponent in a short time. Therefore, the best course of action was to first complete the order given to him by Lord Edel and retrieve the intelligence delivered by Nightingale. Once the intelligence was retrieved, he could then deal with this dog that appeared out of nowhere without any problem!

Upon hearing Kohler's persuasion, Margaret, disguised as a blond young man, couldn't help but sneer. Then, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she waved her hand at Kohler, sending three ice beads, each the size of a tennis ball and gleaming with a cold light, flying towards him.

After throwing three ice orbs at Kohler, Margaret seemed very confident in them, ignoring Kohler completely and continuing to use her lightness technique to run towards the forest.

Although he didn't know what the three ice beads flying towards him were, the dangerous aura they exuded was obvious to Kohler. Since he wanted to retrieve the information from the blond young man opposite him, Kohler didn't try to dodge. Instead, with a thought, he waved his hands and released two storms that swept towards the three ice beads. He then rode on the storms, intending to force his way through them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The moment the three ice beads came into contact with the two storms released by Kohler, they exploded one after another. The clumps of dark green powder hidden inside the ice beads also flew everywhere, even dyeing the two storms released by Kohler dark green. This scene was obviously something Kohler had never expected. However, just as Kohler was slightly stunned, he heard three more muffled gunshots as bullets left the barrel. Then Kohler felt three anti-magic bullets rushing towards his heart, brow, and throat, tearing through the air at high speed.

It turned out that Margaret, who was on the run, suddenly turned around and took advantage of Kohler's momentary lapse in concentration. She took out a silver revolver from her spatial ring and fired three shots at Kohler. After firing three shots, Margaret was also unable to withstand the attack, so she put the revolver back into her spatial ring and continued to flee into the depths of the forest without stopping.

Margaret knew very well the power of the three ice beads she had fired at Kohler. While they would cause trouble for Kohler, they were unlikely to inflict any significant damage. However, if she added the three magic-piercing bullets she had left, Kohler wouldn't die, but he would definitely be injured. And once injured, given Kohler's personality, he would definitely hesitate to give chase. This was the only way for her to shake off Kohler in her current physical condition!

Margaret's plan was well-thought-out, but Kohler, as a highly skilled and experienced senior wizard apprentice, was only slightly flustered before quickly chanting a spell. Immediately, a blue-white protective barrier appeared around him, shielding him and blocking the three rapidly approaching magic-piercing bullets outside the barrier.

As soon as the threat posed by the anti-magic bullets was removed, Kohler, who was inside the barrier, felt his magical power becoming somewhat out of control. Kohler's rich experience immediately made him realize that the dark green dust flying all over the sky was poisonous!

Upon realizing this, a look of surprise flashed in Kohler's eyes. However, when he thought of Edel's death order to retrieve the intelligence at all costs, Kohler gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed his uncontrollable magical power, and then got up to continue chasing after Margaret in the direction she had fled.

Kohler, in a rapid pursuit, caught up with Margaret, who was running through the forest enduring the pain of her injuries, in just a few minutes.

Noticing Kohler rapidly approaching from behind, Margaret, disguised as a blond young man, felt a chill in her heart and sighed slightly. With a thought, she took out a pale purple pendant emitting a faint chill from her spatial ring and secretly fastened it in her right hand. Then, while pretending to have been desperately fleeing, she secretly mobilized the magic power in her body to prepare.

Kohler, standing behind Margaret, looked up at the panicked blond youth in front of him. A sinister smile crept across his wrinkled face. The brief exchange just now, coupled with the current chase, had given him the experience to tell that although the blond youth was a high-level wizard apprentice like himself, his aura suggested he was injured, and quite badly so. No wonder he'd fled after just a brief encounter. But if that was the case, he wouldn't hesitate to strike while the iron was hot.

Thinking of this, Kohler's sinister smile deepened. He took out a staff inlaid with an ice crystal ball from his spatial ring and sped up to chase after Margaret.

The distance between Kohler and Margaret was getting closer and closer, three hundred meters... two hundred meters... one hundred meters... fifty meters. Just as they were thirty meters apart, Kohler raised his staff, preparing to chant a spell and use magic to kill the blond boy who was causing him trouble, when he was surprised to find that the blond boy thirty meters away had stopped and turned around. At this moment, a shimmering light purple pendant had appeared around the blond boy's neck, and under the effect of this shimmering light purple pendant, dozens or even hundreds of one-inch-long ice blades suddenly appeared in front of the blond boy.
