Wizard Earl

Although the attack of the Abyss Barrier sounds similar to the attack method of the Castia Staff, a top-tier second-tier enchanted item in Connor's hand, the difference is that although the range of the Abyss Barrier is relatively smaller, its trapping and killing effect is indeed more powerful.

As Connor's cultivation level increased and his enemies became stronger, the Castia Magic Array, which was originally intended as a trump card, gradually became useless in Connor's hands and fell into an awkward situation. Now that he has mastered the Abyss Barrier spell, it is a very good supplement to Connor's strength and greatly enhances his power!

A few hours earlier, although Connor had not found anything useful in Cedric Suarez's memories, he had found a sensor in the wall of the courtyard where he lived. Although according to the known information, Cedric Suarez was an alchemist, it was not unusual for a sensor to be found in an alchemist's residence.

However, after careful examination, Connor discovered that this sensor was definitely not something a mid-level wizard apprentice like Cedric Suarez could have set up. This greatly piqued Connor's interest. After further research, Connor discovered that the sensor was constantly transmitting messages to the Van der Sar Forest near Susspad. So Connor came here and finally located the small cabin deep in the Van der Sar Forest in front of him as the endpoint of the sensor's information transmission!

When Connor first discovered that the hook-nosed man practicing in the cabin was none other than Firo, whom he had been searching for, he could hardly believe it. However, after hiding behind the oak tree, observing the hook-nosed man, and comparing it with the information he already knew about Firo, Connor was basically certain that this hook-nosed man was indeed his target in the town of Susspad—Firo!

This result immediately filled Connor with ecstasy. Although he had been hoping for it, he was still very lucky to have actually followed the clues from Cedric Suarez and found the mastermind, Filo. However, after Connor was overjoyed for a while, his mood gradually became somewhat serious. He realized that Margaret was right. Filo, who was known as the Blood Moon Ruler, was really strong!

After Connor became a full-fledged wizard, he came to Frosinone and fought against five first-level wizards: Robbie, Adolf, Bispin, Prince Boateng, and Zivkovic. He killed Robbie and Zivkovic and seriously injured Prince Boateng, which was a very good record. However, among the five, Adolf, the gray-robed old man who followed Isabella around all day, was the strongest!

Although Connor hasn't fought Firo yet, by observing his cultivation and the power of the blood-red light blade, he has a general understanding of Firo's strength. This guy seems to be even stronger than Adolf. Upon discovering this, Connor, who was hiding behind the oak tree, felt a slight unease and subconsciously wondered if he should take advantage of Firo's cultivation and not discover him to launch a sneak attack and kill him.

The plan to ambush Firo sounded very tempting, and Firo seemed to be focused on his training, making the chances of a successful ambush high. However, reason told Connor that, judging from Firo's various actions, he was definitely a cautious person, and ambushing him would not be so simple.

Moreover, given Filo's strength, even a sneak attack would be difficult to kill him. Just as Connor was somewhat resigned to abandoning the idea of ​​a sneak attack and preparing to quietly retreat to reconsider his strategy, the scene that had just unfolded occurred...

That guy Firo had already discovered him! If that's the case, then he knew perfectly well that he was hiding behind the oak tree, yet he was still pretending to be cultivating, which was clearly a ploy to lure him into a sneak attack! Thinking of this, Connor, who was confronting Firo, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage over Filo, Connor began to have second thoughts. However, before that, he had something else to do. Thinking of this, Connor took a deep breath, deactivated the Abyss Barrier, and just as he was about to say something, Filo spoke again:

"Connor, I've been keeping an eye on you ever since you came to Frosinone a year ago. I was planning to meet with you after a while, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative. It seems you must have found out something from that idiot Warren Ferguson..."

"But that's fine too, I can see you sooner and see if you're really qualified to work with me!" As she said this, Philo's gaze towards Connor became completely devoid of emotion.

Before Philo could finish speaking, Connor immediately realized that he had been locked onto by Philo. Without hesitation, he activated the black magic robe he was wearing, intending to slip away from Philo's lock. The next second after Connor moved, a blood-red bone spike shot out from the ground where Connor had just stood without any warning. If Connor had been a step slower, this blood-red bone spike would have struck him.

The surprise attack failed, but Philo showed no disappointment. With a blank expression, he flicked his fingers, and countless blood-red threads, reeking of blood, shot out from his hands, forming a blood-red net that rushed towards Connor. Seeing that Philo had made the first move, Connor, who was using his black magic robe to dodge and evade, naturally didn't hold back and unleashed a mental storm at Philo.

Firo seemed to have been prepared for Connor's mental attack. A red and black metal bracelet on his wrist emitted a red and black light screen, which negated most of the power of the mental storm. Only 20-30% of the power actually affected Firo, causing him only a headache.

Seeing that his mental attack had not worked as expected, and that the crimson net that Philo had cast was constantly surrounding him, both blocking his escape and preventing him from rushing in to attack Philo, Connor was extremely annoyed. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then a black energy armor burst forth from his body. This transformation was none other than the Dark Armor Technique that Connor had cultivated!
