Roar~
The half-lion half-human monster couldn’t stop its montum, its body directly pierced by several sharp spikes, and soon after a piercing roar echoed in the narrow alleyway.
Abel raised his hand for a “Magic Impact,” sending the nearby monster flying, then a blazing fireball ignited in his palm, ready to deliver the final blow.
Bang—
Just at that mont, a jarring roar suddenly erupted.
A lead bullet, fired after but arriving before, went straight through the recently battered “Mage Shield,” missing Abel’s head by a hairsbreadth as it flew past.
Abel was imdiately frightened into retreating continuously, interrupting the ready-to-release “Blast Fla Skill” and quickly adding several protective spells to himself, before turning to look in the direction the bullet had co from.
The person who shot was Laud, and in his hand, he held that strange walking stick.
In fact, it wasn’t a walking stick at all, but a specially modified firearm!
It was a gift given to him by the second group of Wizards who had co to provide support a few days ago. Reportedly, it was the alchemical workshop’s new product, devoid of magic fluctuations, able to evade the church’s inspection, specially given to him for self-defense.
But its drawbacks were also obvious, for although it possessed great power, it could only fire one piece of ammunition in a short ti!
The Wizard in front of him obviously wouldn’t give him the chance to reload, so Laud, mustering his courage, began to speak in an attempt to appease the other. “Esteed Wizard, please calm your anger. There must be so misunderstanding…”
In fact, the mont he realized the person following him was a Wizard, Laud sensed sothing was awry.
Because theoretically, all Wizards are enemies of the church; they share common interests.
“A misunderstanding?”
The twice narrowly escaped Abel was quite annoyed. He sneered, warily glancing at the odd-looking ‘Divine Art Instrunt’ in Laud’s hand—worried Laud would pull out sothing strange—and decided not to hold back any longer, planning to subdue these people first and interrogate them later…
Abel lifted his index finger, pointing at Laud, and imdiately blue lightning began gathering at his fingertip.
“Chain Lightning”
Laud’s pupils contracted; he had not expected the legends to be true, that the Wizards of the “Hadrata” kingdom really had the power to control lightning.
As soon as he faced off with Abel, Laud had been clutching the ring Lynn had given him tightly in his hand, shouting in his mind in terror.
Lynn, save !
The blue lightning was too fast to imagine, arriving at the scene as soon as Abel cast the spell.
“Water Curtain Wall!”
A familiar voice sounded in Laud’s ears, and then, a clear curtain of water stood before him, eting the blue lightning head-on.
The thin curtain of water was instantaneously electrolyzed back into hydrogen and oxygen…
The speed of lightning is extrely fast, propagating through the air dium at a velocity that can reach tens or even hundreds of kiloters per second, making dodging almost impossible once it’s launched.
But Abel’s casting speed was limited, and Lynn, who had completed the “Magic Projection” in ti, easily defended against it.
Laud sat down heavily on the ground, his whole being washed over with the joy of having narrowly escaped death. He hadn’t expected that Lord Lynn not only heard his inner cries but also personally arrived.
This also ant that he was finally safe!
“Wizard? Traitor?” Abel’s expression instantly turned ugly. He had not expected that a wizard would be involved in the pursuit of William’s subordinates.
Could it be another coward, fearing death and willing to grovel before the church to survive, who would then turn and harm his colleagues as a traitor?
Lynn, after blocking the “Chain Lightning,” did not launch another attack.
Although he had been unable to pay much attention to Laud, he was not completely in the dark. After scanning the situation on the field, he ford a few guesses in his mind.
“I think we can have a good talk, Wizard sir,” Lynn said very amiably before pausing and adding.
“But we need to change locations. The gunshots earlier will likely attract the city guard soon.”
Abel did not believe a word. He had seen with his own eyes Laud selling those glass products. Everyone in the Kingdom of Hadlata knew William stood with Prince Harold and would, inevitably, be the church’s lapdog…
Besides, the other party was just a formal wizard and not worth fearing for him.
“Summon Giant Stone Puppet”
With a thought, Abel’s spell slot in his mind lit up. The collapsed rubble at his side quickly stacked up, forming into a two-ter-tall stone puppet that charged towards Lynn and his companions.
Lynn shook his head, understanding that unless he took down his opposition, a proper discussion was unlikely, so he glanced at Laud.
“Get far away from , but not too far!”
Laud quickly nodded, nimbly rolling and crawling to hide under a collapsed wall, sneakily observing the situation outside.
He had confidence in Lynn but found the opponent’s lightning magic to be eerily unpredictable.
In just a mont, the stone puppet had already reached them, raising its stone hamr to smash towards Lynn.
Lynn uncharacteristically did not counterattack, instead leaping high to dodge.
But at this mont, Abel’s magic was charged and ready!
Third-circle spell— “Anthony’s Lightning Storm”
Terrible electricity gathered in Abel’s palm. Accompanied by the chant of a spell, the lightning shot out, moving through the air like a dense web, quickly enveloping Lynn and the stone puppet together.
The wild arcs of electricity devoured everything around them, emitting a series of crackling pops. Lynn, suspended in mid-air, seed unable to dodge in ti and was engulfed by the lightning.
The azure lightning burrowed into Lynn’s body like venomous snakes, rampantly destroying his insides.
A smirk appeared on Abel’s lips. In the face of the magnificent power of thunder, all resistance was futile.
“Lord Lynn…” Laud could not help but cry out, his face filled with shock and terror.
However, the next mont, Abel’s smile froze. Lynn, who had been hit, remained unscathed amidst the violent electric arcs, hovering in mid-air without any impact…
“How is this possible?” Abel shouted in disbelief.
“Even the most powerful magic is a waste of effort if it doesn’t find the real target…” Lynn’s voice rang out again, but this ti from a different direction.
Lynn’s magic projection had already shifted locations along with Laud, and what had been standing in the original place was rely an illusion.
It must be said, Aurora’s visual magic, used for bluffing and bewildering, was truly exceptional!
