The violent electric arc continued to devour everything around it, making crackling sounds. Lin En, who was in mid-air, seemed to have no time to dodge and was submerged in the lightning.
The azure blue lightning penetrated into Lin's body like poisonous snakes, destroying his body wantonly.
A smile appeared on Abel's lips. In the face of the power of thunder, all resistance was meaningless.
"Lord Lin En..." Lord couldn't help but exclaimed, his face full of horror and fear.
However, the next moment, the smile on Abel's face froze, because Lin En, who was hit, was still safe and sound under the ravages of the violent arc, suspended in the air, without being affected at all...
"How is this possible?" Abel shouted in disbelief.
"No matter how powerful the magic is, if you don't find the real target, it will be a waste of effort..." Lin En's voice sounded again, but it came from another direction.
Lin En's magical incarnation had already moved to another location following Lord, and the fact that he was standing there just now was just a false illusion.
I have to say, the visual magic created by Aurora is absolutely amazing when used to play tricks!
Chapter 223: Get out of my way, you monster!
Damn, what kind of magic is this?
Abel had no experience in dealing with visual magic before. Seeing that the most powerful magic he mastered was ineffective, he immediately panicked and used [Multiple-Pyroblast] in return, but his target was not Lin En, but the alleys on both sides.
A violent explosion followed, and the earth wall, which was not strong to begin with, collapsed in an instant, burying the road. Then, under the cover of smoke and dust, Abel fled without looking back.
Lin En's expression remained unchanged. The index finger of his right hand trembled slightly, and a strange magic wave spread out in a circle.
The running Abel has reached the end of the alley, and there is hope of life ahead!
Just as Abel was about to step out of the alley, his heart suddenly shook violently, and he fell to the ground while maintaining his forward momentum, rolling on the ground a few times in a panic.
Abel's face was full of fear. The magic mirror and the violent shaking of his heart were all magic he had never seen before. They were so strange that they were hard to imagine. Could it be that the person who attacked him was a believer of some evil god?
Before Ebel could figure it out, a dark red figure pounced on him, with a pair of red eyes on its lion-like head. The wounds on its body had healed, but the residual pain still made it swing its claws violently, hitting the magic protection on Ebel's body again and again.
"Get away from me, you monster... Get away from me!" Seeing the sharp claws bigger than his head only one centimeter away from him, Abel was scared out of his wits and shouted wildly. At the same time, dense arcs of electricity emerged from his body and soon spread to the half-lion, half-human monster on his body.
This is the second ring magic - [Lightning Barrier]
However, the half-lion, half-human monster endured the pain and numbness from the electric shock, with red flames all over his body, and smashed the protective barrier with his sandbag-sized fists.
"Owen, save some strength, don't beat him to death..."
A voice suddenly came from the distance. The monster who was about to give Ebel the final blow paused immediately, then retracted its claws and knocked Ebel unconscious with a punch.
When Lin En walked over, he saw Abel who had fainted. There was still a look of fear on the wizard's face, and he was obviously scared.
The half-lion, half-human monster's body began to deform rapidly, and after just a few seconds, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old appeared in the alley. His face was pale, his short hair stood up due to electricity, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly, but he still spoke in a trembling voice.
"Master Linn..."
"How is it? Are you okay?" Lin En asked with concern. Even if his physical fitness after the transformation was very good, he would inevitably be affected if he resisted the electric shock head-on.
"It's okay, just... a little numb..." The young man couldn't help but shiver. His muscles felt sore and every hair stood up. It was the first time he experienced the feeling of being struck by lightning.
"You'd better not be so reckless next time." Lin En shook his head helplessly, and then asked again, "Where are the [Mage Shield] and [Pyroblast] that I asked you to learn?"
"Those two magic spells are too complicated..." the teenager said embarrassedly.
"You have to learn it no matter how complicated it is. You have to know a few magic spells. Otherwise, if you meet a more powerful wizard or bishop, you will only be beaten if you only rely on magic to transform. That's too disadvantageous." Lynn reminded.
The young man in front of him named [Owen] was none other than the experimental subject No. 22 whom he had seen in the laboratory in Ladakh a few months ago. He was the lucky one who had successively fused the bloodlines of two magical beasts!
Since Ladakh's manor was located in the outer area of the southern city, it was not included in the eruption of the soul-devouring formation.
After the South City tragedy, all these magic experimental subjects were rescued by the search and rescue team. Owen was one of them. After more than a month of treatment, he has basically recovered.
These transformed mages are quite powerful and can compete with some official wizards. Naturally, Lin En has no intention of leaving them alone. He uses psychic magic to treat those who are mentally unstable, and incorporates those who are mentally stable into the newly established security team. This is like saying goodbye to the past and getting a proper job.
Owen, the most capable one, was sent by Lynn to protect Lord and others. After all, his age was a good cover. Not many people would have thought that a teenager of fifteen or sixteen years old could burst out with such terrifying power.
The only flaw is that these magicians, although they have enormous magic power, seem to find it difficult to condense spells, and their resistance to mental magic is not strong.
After calming the boy down, Lynn turned his attention to Loud who had just crawled out from under the earth wall.
"Lord Lin, this action was my negligence, and it almost caused serious consequences. Please punish me." Lord wiped the cold sweat from his head and said in annoyance.
Before, he thought that with Owen's help and his own hidden attacks, it would be more than enough to deal with the little tail following him, and there was no need to make a big fuss. Who would have thought that the one following him would be a wizard of a high level.
If Lin En hadn't arrived in time this time, they would have been in danger.
"Take the person away! Let's talk about it in a safe place..." Lin En said without comment. After a [Touch of Fire] cleaned up the traces left by the battle, the whole person disappeared in front of the two people.
"Lord Lin?" Lord looked around and called out, but no one answered.
What the hell, logically, shouldn’t that adult still be in Yieta?
Lord muttered to himself, feeling even more awed.
The young man at the side picked up Abel and urged Lord to run away together.
Just one minute after the two left, a team of priests dressed in white robes with sacred emblems on their chests arrived at the scene.
"There are traces of fire magic on the ground... It must be a formal wizard who has such powerful destructive power." The leading archbishop looked at the collapsed earth wall and the dark ground and said, "We are a step too late. It seems that the other party has already escaped."
"I hope no innocent people get hurt." "These damn devil believers..."
Several priests either felt pity or anger. These damn wizards were like rats, always hiding in crevices and corners where they couldn't find them, and popping out from time to time to cause trouble.
"Report what's happening here to Lord Losak. These wizards seem to be acting more and more frequently recently." The leading archbishop said worriedly.
Chapter 224 We Come from Greenridge, the Land of Wizards
Darkness, hunger, pain...
In the dazzling sunlight, Abel woke up drowsily, and then felt a pain in his right cheek.
I don’t know if it was intentional revenge, but Owen’s last punch was so heavy that his entire right face was swollen.
But Abel no longer had the mind to think about this, because he soon discovered that his hands were bound by a strange pair of shackles. What frightened him even more was that the magic power in his body was also suppressed.
"These are shackles made of magic-repelling stone. They can suppress the wizard's ability to cast spells." A voice soon sounded in the house.
Abel immediately turned his head and looked over. The strange, devil-like figure was standing not far away. In addition, there was the middle-aged man who shamelessly disguised himself as a cripple to deceive him, and a half-grown boy.
It's over... Abel's face turned pale. He couldn't figure out that he had been caught. His mind couldn't help but recall those horrible punishments.
He had heard that every wizard captured by the Vatican would face extremely cruel torture, and no matter whether he revealed any information or not, the final result would be being sent to the stake and burned to charcoal.
Thinking of this, Abel gritted his teeth, placed his hands freely on his legs, and pressed lightly with his index and middle fingers as if he was looking for something.
"Don't look for it. In case you can't bear it, I've already got the things out for you." Lin En stretched out his right hand, and an ironwood stick the length of a finger appeared in his palm, with fine runes on it.
This thing was hidden very secretly, fastened inside the interlayer of the robe. It should be used for suicide or to die together with the enemy under special circumstances.
Seeing his last resort appear in Lin En's hands, Ebel's face suddenly turned pale, and he leaned against the white wall behind him as if he had lost his bones.
"Don't worry, we don't mean any harm." Lin En said slowly.
"Don't waste your time, I won't tell you anything!" Abel interrupted with a sneer.
Abel's bad attitude made Lin En speechless, but he also knew that he had just beaten him up and the other party was probably still angry. After thinking about it, he spoke. "In fact, we are from Greenriel, the land of wizards!"
Greenrill? Abel paused for a moment. He had certainly heard of this legendary wizard holy land.
It is rumored that it is a paradise for wizards. There is no influence of the Church and no witch hunters. Everyone can study witchcraft freely and expound their own magical theories.
Abel has always scoffed at this rumor. He doesn't think such a place exists.
The real wizard holy land will only be created by the great Master Anthony himself, a real kingdom belonging to wizards!
"Since you said you are from the land of wizards, where is the evidence?" Abel sneered. "Everyone in the Kingdom of Hadratha knows that William is a supporter of the Grand Prince and a lackey of the Church. Aren't you working for William just to beg for forgiveness from the Church, hoping that the cardinal will be kind enough to spare your lives?"
"I can tell you that this is absolutely impossible. The day you lose your usefulness, you will be tied to the stake and burned to death..." Abel said mockingly.
"You may have misunderstood one thing. To be precise, William is working for me. He was just trying to cover up his identity by getting close to Harold."
Lin En explained calmly, and was a little surprised at the same time. Judging from Abel's attitude, it seemed that he didn't know much about the wizarding land.
You know, William has been in the Kingdom of Hadratha for more than ten years, but he has never had any contact with local wizards. Could it be that when Helram asked the other party to work for him, he did something bad, causing William to always hold a grudge against the wizard?
Lin En suddenly realized that although Helram left him some inheritance, there were more traps!
"Of course I can give you evidence, but you need to tell me which school you come from and who is the leader..." Lin En continued. "Also, I have done some research on electromagnetism. Maybe we can exchange relevant experiences when we have a chance."
"So you wanted to spy on the secret of thunder magic..." Abel immediately became alert, as if he had guessed Lin's thoughts.
The magic of thunder was gradually discovered by Master Anthony after risking his life and enduring hundreds of lightning strikes. It is the treasure of the entire school!
Abel would never allow such an important secret to be revealed from him, and he immediately put on an expression of dying rather than surrendering, in order to avoid being trapped. He then remained silent, no matter how Lin En asked.
Seeing that Abel was refusing to cooperate, Owen rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him a few times to wake him up, but was stopped by Lin En.
"Since you have doubts about us, why not stay here for a while? I believe you will change your mind soon." Lynn did not give a long explanation, but generously gave Abel some time to think slowly.
The opponent's wizard is of a high level, also a three-ring wizard. Lin En does not have the ability to use psychic magic to break through Abel's mental defense and obtain the opponent's memory.
Torture didn't seem like a good idea either, and he didn't want to push a group of potential allies to the opposite side.
Especially now that William's attitude is uncertain, these wizards who have been rooted in the Kingdom of Hadrata for a long time are even more worthy of being won over.
It is not difficult to kill William, but the difficult part is how to handle the subsequent affairs and avoid attracting the attention of the Holy See...
Lynn gave a few instructions, asking Owen to "take care" of Abel, and then left with Laud. A few minutes later, he asked the servants to bring some food and put it on the table.
After tracking Lord for several days and having just experienced a tough battle, Abel was already tired and hungry. The white bread, sausages, steak and grilled fish on the table were like the devil's temptation, constantly attracting his attention.
Abel swallowed, but soon realized that there must be some kind of hallucinogenic substance in it, tempting him to eat it and make him reveal some important information.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Owen asked curiously.
Abel, who had 'seen through everything' a long time ago, shook his head firmly, saying that he would never touch it!
Owen ignored Abel and picked up a piece of delicious steak, put it in his mouth and started to take big bites. Soon he finished all the delicacies on the table without leaving any intention of leaving any for Abel.
Could it be that there was really nothing wrong with the food? Seeing Owen eating happily, Abel couldn't help swallowing his saliva, caught in a game between reason and hunger...
