Wizard Earl

As a sorcerer of the Living Sacrifice Society, Cedric Suarez practices extremely cruel and bloody black magic. Every step of his progress is accompanied by bloodshed and death. This is why he chose to help Handanovic become the overlord of the Saspede underworld. If he were to abduct people himself, it would not only waste time and affect his progress and experimental efficiency, but his sorcerer methods would also inevitably attract the attention of the two major churches. Therefore, he needs Handanovic as his agent to provide him with a continuous, stable, and constant supply of living beings for his research and cultivation!

A week ago, upon hearing that the Cult of the Earth God was going to send priests to Saspeld to open a church and preach, Cedric Suarez was afraid of being discovered by the cult. In addition, despite his best efforts to conceal it, the resentment he had caused by killing too many living beings in the area was becoming uncontrollable. Therefore, Cedric Suarez, the dark wizard, decided to leave Saspeld and go to a nearby city to continue his cruel and bloody experiments.

This is why, in Handanovic's memory, his laboratory had become an ordinary farmhouse warehouse. Three days ago, Handanovic had already cleaned up the laboratory and destroyed all traces of his experiments!

Looking at Cedric Suarez's perfectly coherent and flawless biography, Connor couldn't find any trace of Firo in the records, and his disappointment was understandable. However, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up. With a casual wave of his hand, he unleashed a black light slash, eliminating Cedric Suarez, and then began searching his yard.

··················

Just as Connor was searching through Cedric Suarez's yard, in a small cabin in the Van der Sar woods west of Saspede, a middle-aged man washing his hands by a pool seemed to sense something. He narrowed his eyes, turned around, and walked out of the cabin to gaze into the distance. Whether by coincidence or design, the direction he looked was exactly towards the village of Hel, where Connor was.

Under the sunlight, the middle-aged man's features were clearly revealed. He had brown hair and blue eyes, high cheekbones, and a strikingly hooked nose. Overall, although he was at least forty years old, he was still quite handsome, perhaps due to good maintenance. This man was none other than Filo, the self-proclaimed "Blood Moon Overlord," whom Connor had traveled all this way to Saspede for!

After gazing in the direction of Hel Village for a while, Filo sighed softly and muttered to himself, "Walrent Ferguson just died, and now Cedric Suarez is dead too. It seems there really are some reckless fools eyeing me. But could that fool be you, Connor Ferguson...?"

When Connor's name was mentioned, Philo's expression became somewhat complicated, as if something was making him very conflicted!

After a few minutes of contemplation, Firo returned to the cabin and began meditative practice. As he began, a pale red mist slowly rose from his body. With each breath he took, this mist gradually condensed around him, forming a very blurry blood moon shape…

After cultivating for a full five hours, Philo, still somewhat unsatisfied, finally finished his practice in the wooden hut. He slowly stood up, stretched, and then walked out of the hut. Gazing at a large oak tree a hundred meters to the left of the hut, he calmly said, "You've arrived. It's been about an hour, hasn't it? Wouldn't you like to come out and sit for a while?"

As soon as Philo finished speaking, there was no movement behind the big oak tree, as if there was no one there at all. Seeing this, Philo smiled slightly, then raised his hand, and a very sharp blood-red light blade was immediately shot out from his hand, heading straight for the big oak tree.

"Bang!"

Just a second before the blood-red light blade was about to strike the oak tree, a gray-haired young man in a black robe flew out from behind the oak tree like a ghost, casting a black barrier to catch the attack of the blood-red chain.

Having forced his opponent out from behind the oak tree with a single blow, Philo refrained from further action. He then scrutinized the gray-haired young man who had suddenly appeared before him, and after a few seconds, said with some emotion, "Connor Ferguson, you've truly given me quite a few surprises. Not only did you find this place, but you've even mastered the Abyss Barrier! No wonder Reyes was willing to impart his 'Abyss Secret Techniques' to you!"

Upon hearing Philo expose his secrets, the gray-haired young man, Connor Ferguson, who was currently casting a barrier, remained expressionless, but his eyes flickered slightly with shock. Although Connor knew from Warren Ferguson's confession that Philo was very interested in him, he never expected that Philo knew so much about him!

Besides knowing about his mentor Reyes, he also knew that the meditation technique he practiced was the "Abyss Secret Art." Furthermore, judging from his immediate mention of the "Abyss Barrier," this Philo seemed quite knowledgeable about the "Abyss Secret Art." This further intensified Connor's already pent-up murderous intent towards Philo. Philo clearly practiced the "Blood Moon Codex" meditation technique, yet he possessed such profound knowledge of Connor's "Abyss Secret Art." There was only one possibility: Philo had conducted extensive and detailed investigations into Connor.

The barrier that Connor is currently casting is not the Castilian defensive barrier that he usually uses, but a spell called the Abyss Barrier that he has recently mastered. Judging from the name of the Abyss Barrier, it is known that this spell is related to the advanced meditation technique Connor has been practicing, the Abyss Secret Technique!

Besides helping Varga break through to become a formal wizard, Connor also did not give up his own cultivation during this period. Finally, a few days ago, Connor's cultivation took another step forward. He unlocked the Abyss Barrier from his advanced meditation technique, "Abyss Secrets," a spell that he had been eyeing for a long time.

Although the name contains the word "barrier," which sounds like a defensive spell, the Abyss Barrier is not a traditional defensive spell. On the contrary, it is a spell that combines offense and defense. It can be used as a barrier for defense, and when it is necessary to attack, the Abyss Barrier can also be used like the Castia Magic Circle to create a prison and trap the opponent inside the barrier!
