Wizard Earl

Chapter 741 A Severe Blow

But to Kohler's utter surprise, even after all that, he still didn't get the peace he had envisioned. The distress fireworks that lit up the sky above the Kevin Hotel completely disrupted his peaceful life. What Kohler didn't expect was that just as he was preparing to leave for the Kevin Hotel, he received an order from his superior, Edel, telling him to retrieve the information about the stolen Kevin Hotel at all costs.

Kohler knew perfectly well that the intelligence team disguised at Kevin's Inn was just a few knights who hadn't seen much of the world. Therefore, he arrogantly assumed that the attackers were merely junior or intermediate wizarding apprentices. He reasoned that if the attackers were wizards of intermediate or higher level, the people at Kevin's Inn wouldn't be able to raise an alarm. So, confident in his own abilities, Kohler readily agreed to Edel's order, promising to eliminate the attackers and retrieve the intelligence!

But now that it has been discovered that the person who attacked Kevin's Hotel and stole the information was actually Margaret's, Kohler, who values ​​her life, has started to have some ideas!

Knowing how formidable Margaret was, Kohler had no intention of engaging her in a life-or-death struggle right now. He understood that once the distress fireworks from Kevin's Inn went off, he, Kohler, was just the first wave of reinforcements. He had already left marks along the way, and perhaps in another twenty minutes, the second wave of reinforcements would arrive. It was more worthwhile to make a strategic retreat now and join forces with the second wave of reinforcements to gang up on the wounded Margaret. It was better for him to fight Margaret to the death alone now.

Anyway, Margaret is injured right now, so even if you let her run at full speed, she won't get very far!

As for why Kohler chose to run away instead of holding Margaret in place and dragging her out until the second wave of reinforcements arrived, it was because Kohler knew that Margaret wasn't stupid. If he did that, his intention to delay would be too obvious, and Margaret would see through his plan at a glance and immediately fight him to the death.

However, even though Kohler was a cunning old man with a well-thought-out plan, the incantation Margaret was chanting in his ears and the blood spilling from the corner of her mouth made him realize that his plan had failed. Margaret, still injured, was actually audacious enough to try to kill him here and silence him!

Kohler, having seen through Margaret's intentions, was furious that Margaret had underestimated him so much, but he didn't stop running at all. At his age, he had become indifferent to matters of face. The more Margaret wanted to fight him to the death, the more he wanted to run!

Just as Kohler had thrown the old man three hundred meters away, Margaret's prepared spell finally came into effect. A rich blue-white light emanated from her body. At that moment, Margaret finished chanting the incantation. With a solemn expression, she slowly drew her hands in front of her. Instantly, blue-white light materialized in front of her, forming a giant bow that shimmered with a cold aura. With the appearance of this giant bow, it seemed that the temperature of the air around Margaret dropped several degrees instantly.

Kohler continued running, and although he didn't look back, he clearly felt the energy fluctuations caused by the appearance of the giant bow. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Margaret is a madwoman. How dare she use such a powerful spell as the Bow of Zamora while she is injured? She's really courting death."

Knowing the power of this spell, Kohler cursed Margaret in his heart, but couldn't help but let out a sigh. He knew that although he had run as fast as he could, he had not escaped Margaret's attack range. He couldn't dodge this attack, "Bow of Zamora," and had no choice but to take it head-on. So he made a decisive decision, stopped running, turned around to face Margaret who was holding the giant bow, and gripped his staff tightly!

Seeing that Kohler had stopped running, Margaret's face showed a mocking smile. She then raised her giant bow, aimed at Kohler who was three hundred meters away, and used all her magic power to pull the bowstring of the giant bow, which was formed from energy.

"Buzz!"

The bowstring that Margaret pulled rang out with a buzzing sound, and then the giant bow, which had been transformed by energy, became an incredibly fast energy arrow, half a meter long. The arrow, carrying terrifying blue and white energy, went straight for Kohler's throat.

After shooting the arrow, the shimmering pale purple pendant worn around Margaret's neck immediately lost its light and shattered into pieces. Margaret herself swayed and almost fell to the ground.

At that moment, the giant energy arrow had already reached Kohler's front. As soon as the arrow left the bowstring, Kohler manipulated his staff again, summoning back the ten palm-sized ice shields that had just blocked Margaret's "Mertens Ice Blade" spell, and tightly protecting himself behind them.

"Bang!"

However, this time Kohler was not as lucky as she had been when she withstood Mertens' Ice Blade Technique. Margaret's terrifying energy arrow struck the ten ice shields that Kohler was protecting in front of her. Without any suspense, eight of the ten ice shields protecting Kohler were instantly shattered into ice powder, and the remaining two ice shields were also in a terrible state, falling to the ground in pieces.

Even the staff that Kohler was holding tightly, which was inlaid with an ice crystal ball, was severely damaged. Not only was the staff itself covered in wounds, but the ice crystal ball inlaid at the top of the staff also had fine cracks appearing, indicating that it had suffered a very serious blow.

As for Kohler, that cunning old fellow, he didn't fare much better. Faced with the terrifying impact of the giant energy arrow, although he wasn't killed instantly by the protection of the ice shield, he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a large tree behind him. Red and black blood and some fragments of internal organs immediately spilled from his mouth, and his thin body clearly showed that his ribs and chest cavity were slightly deformed, with several bones broken!

Despite being beaten like this, Kohler was still very clear-headed. He glared venomously at the swaying Margaret in the distance. He knew that this arrow had damaged his vital energy, and even if he recovered, it would never return. His already short lifespan would be shortened by at least three years because of this arrow!
