Chapter 245 Brazen attack
Chapter 245 Brazen attack
As one of the three major families that control the power of the academy, the Wakin family also occupies a large area.
Unlike Lydia's castle, the style of Wakin's residence is more like an ancient garden tower. In the dense jungle full of mutated demonic plants, tower-shaped buildings stand quietly.
Mond Vagin is the dean and lives in one of the three-story towers, which has a unique location.
At this moment, in the simple and rustic reception room, Mond was lying on a recliner taking a nap, with two shadow ant servants serving him on his left and right.
After he noticed the movement of Ant-Man's Barrier and the fact that the defensive power of the three towers was beginning to be reshaped by it, he stood up and walked to the window, looking outside through the window.
"What a stunning and determined junior! He is worthy of praise."
Mond sighed with a complicated expression, his eyes showed both admiration and indifference.
Talents should be used for one's own benefit to be admired.
Those who are ignorant are often buried in the dust of history. I wonder which type of person this wizard Ivan is?
Suddenly, the protective force in the living room became unusually heavy, which attracted Mond's attention. In his sight, a door opened out of thin air.
"Wizard Ivan, what do you want to do?" Mond remained calm in the face of the sudden change. He walked over with a cold face and shouted into the door.
Two shadow ant servants followed him unconsciously.
"Dean Wakin, please come in and have a chat." Ivan's voice came from inside the door.
Hearing his words, Mond showed a playful smile on his face. As an old wizard, when he was hanging around the Moonclamp Peninsula three hundred years ago, the other party didn't even know where he was.
He actually showed off this little trick in front of me. What a fool he is.
Mond stood there motionless, and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when he heard extremely unusual noises behind him. Danger had quietly arrived.
"Oh!"
A dark figure slammed into Mond who was standing in front of him. Both the speed and the strength made Mond feel the impact.
In a hurry, Mond had no way to avoid it and could only cast his instant plant-based talent spell for defense.
One side launched a blatant surprise attack, while the other side launched a hasty defense.
The collision between the two sides knocked Mond headfirst into the portal.
The figure who launched the sneak attack also followed in.
In the blink of an eye, Mond arrived at a small space surrounded by gray. He looked back and saw that the door had closed. It was clearly a two-winged ant beast that attacked him.
"Wizard Ivan, what a good trick! You can even use the academy's shadow ant servants." Mond's face turned pale. He remembered very clearly that the place where the attacker launched the attack was exactly where one of the shadow ant servants was standing.
This all proves that the Shadow Ant Servant has been replaced by someone. The person who can do this not only has some understanding of the Shadow Ant Servant, but there must be deeper reasons.
Secondly, this two-winged anteater had an aura similar to that of a shadow ant servant, which he could not ignore.
"Just some little tricks, not worth mentioning." Ivan's figure emerged, just a phantom made of energy particles.
"It is your reliance, a level three creature. Do you know what you are doing?" Mond's eyes were filled with anger, almost to the point of being uncontrollable.
As the dean of the academy, a senior second-level wizard, he was actually ambushed by a first-level wizard under his command. It was a great shame and humiliation.
"I just want to convince you."
"Has anyone ever told you that your way of persuading others is incorrect?"
"Thanks to my hard work, the Ant King Barrier Array has now been transformed into the Ant King Nirvana Cocoon Array, which can assist in the promotion of a Level 2 wizard. I hope the academy can fully support my promotion to a Level 2 wizard as a reward for my contribution in repairing the barrier."
Ivan ignored the dean's dissatisfied words and directly stated what he hoped to achieve.
Previously, when he realized that Dean Wakin had returned to the academy quietly, most likely to target him, he naturally would not just sit there and wait for something to happen. After thinking it over, he decided to turn being passive into active.
Get started first!
As long as he can deal with Dean Wakin, he won't care about anyone else.
After some careful arrangements, he brought Dean Wakin into this small space without anyone noticing.
"Wizard Ivan, don't you see that there are so many first-level wizards in the academy? How long have you joined the academy? How much have you done for the academy? Why would you give me such a precious opportunity--"
"Ze Yi, teach this guy a lesson and make him understand his situation."
Seeing that Mond started to act like the dean and tried to use excuses to smooth over his own achievements, Ivan became annoyed and ordered Ze Yi to take action and wake someone up.
"Order!"
"You are presumptuous!"
The ant had been waiting for Ivan to say this. He put on a layer of close-fitting rock armor on his dark body, which protected him tightly. This was his unique application of the ability "Rock and Marsh Manipulation".
It pounced on the enemy at the first possible moment, with an astonishing speed.
'Thunder Fire Pulp Ball'
Facing the attacking third-level creature, Mond calmly cast a fire plasma ball filled with lightning, aiming at the two-winged anteater and launching an attack.
The swamp ant had its own way to deal with it. The original light yellowish brown patterns on its body became vivid and emitted a mysterious light that spread in all directions.
This is its ability - gravity manipulation, which can increase or reduce gravity within a certain range at will.
The speed of the marsh ant suddenly increased, but the flame ball dropped half a gear. The increase and decrease in speed allowed the marsh ant to cleverly avoid the flame ball. After the spell attack that was sure to win failed, Mond felt his body sink, and he had to face the approaching two-winged ant beast directly.
"Old man, let me loosen your bones." The marsh ant probably didn't even notice that it actually had a deep-seated resentment towards the Mona Ant Hut, resenting that it had trapped it for so long.
Due to the effect of the puppet heart, it could not show any disrespect to Ivan and could only vent its resentment on others, such as Dean Wakin in front of it.
"Bang bang!"
When the wizard was approached, he had difficulty casting spells.
Most wizards have good melee abilities, and Mond is no exception. However, compared with the swamp ants, which are third-level royal blood creatures, they have great shortcomings.
There are also inconveniences caused by the geographical environment.
This resulted in a second-level wizard from Mond being at a disadvantage in the battle.
"Sure enough, he was seriously injured. His movements have become sluggish."
Outside the small space, Ivan was ready to lend a hand, but after seeing the slightly crazy swamp ants suppressing Mond's attack, he gave up the idea of taking action himself. He just manipulated the power of the Ant-Man barrier, allowing the small space to continuously transform into another form.
In the small space, although Mond was furious, he did not lose his composure and was always looking for an opportunity to break out.
After being at a disadvantage for a while, he finally found an opportunity, shook off the swamp ants and ran out of the small space. His momentum suddenly surpassed that of before, and he launched a more powerful attack.
To his disappointment, the attack was like a drop in the ocean, with no effect at all.
Not only that, after receiving the energy he brought, a strange force fed back from the small space, drilling into the body uncontrollably, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.
However, Mond was keenly aware that some changes had occurred in his body.
"You can't run away. Let's practice some more."
"Asshole! When I get out of this, I will grind you to dust."
The marsh ants kept pestering Mond, leaving him no time to sense the changes in his body and he could only avoid their attacks.
After a minute or two, Mond's face changed drastically. He felt that a small amount of power in his body was overflowing, including mental power and vitality, and he was being locked by something.
For a person who is still recovering from a serious injury, this is definitely adding insult to injury.
"Ant-Man's altar?"
Mond looked to one side, and sure enough, the circular altar that had remained silent all this time started up, and the golden lines on it were filled with light golden light.
What was different from what he remembered was that there seemed to be an extra disc on Ant-Man's altar, and the disc was also engraved with magnificent rune lines.
Something is wrong!
The Ant-Man altar here has clearly just been activated, so where did that power come from just now?
Mond's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. He found himself trapped in a cage, like a trapped prey, with the power constantly overflowing, forcing him to think of the worst.
This time, I'm afraid I'll have to be a sacrifice.
"Dean Wakin, now we can have a calm conversation." Ivan's voice sounded at the right time.
Following his voice, the marsh ants stopped attacking and retreated to the side, and the power in Mond's body stopped dissipating.
"How are you doing?"
"Didn't I just say that I just wanted to use the academy's protective formation to complete my promotion to a second-level wizard. I hope you can understand."
"I can promise you a second one."
"Don't say that. The special power that assists in promotion needs to be accumulated slowly. After I use it once, I don't know when I can use it again."
Ivan directly exposed his trick. When it comes to understanding the Ant King's Rebirth Cocoon Formation, he believes that no one in the academy can compare to him.
Mond was completely helpless now. He didn't expect that the other party knew everything. What was even more troublesome was that the power controlled by the other party was indeed qualified to have an equal dialogue with him.
No, there is no reason for Wizard Ivan to know this, unless he has joined other organizations outside the Moonclamp Peninsula without the knowledge of the Mona Ant Hut.
"Wizard Ivan, I just want to ask you one question, and I hope you can answer truthfully. Have you joined the Star-Moon Alliance?" After a pause, Mond asked in a deep voice.
"No."
"Did you betray my whereabouts to the Star-Moon Alliance last time?"
"No."
"Impossible. Then how do you know the name 'Ant King Nirvana Cocoon Formation'? Where did you get the rune wizard formation blueprint? You clearly betrayed the Mona Ant Hut, right?"
After all, Mond had been the dean of the academy for so many years. Even though he was imprisoned, he did not become timid. Instead, he questioned the person bluntly.
"Dean Wakin, do you really have to know?" Ivan stared at him sharply.
"Even if I risk my life, I will not let a traitor succeed and tarnish the academy's reputation for thousands of years." Mond straightened up and spoke confidently.
"Wizard Ivan, why don't you let me teach this old guy a lesson so that he can have a deeper understanding of his current situation." Ze Yi suggested maliciously.
The atmosphere inside and outside the small space suddenly became tense, as if it was the prelude to a storm.
