"This ...... It doesn't matter, does it?" Merlin smiled faintly, and her figure jerked back. Run into the woods.

"Where to run!"

A flash of color flashed in Barberta's eyes, and she cast a spell, and a huge blue fireball whistled and flew through the clouds towards Merlin.

Rumble!

At the moment when the fireball caught up with Mei Lin, a layer of energy shield suddenly came out, and then there was a loud bang, and the huge force generated by the explosion of the fireball shook Mei Lin's petite body into the air, and flew forward for more than ten meters before slamming to the ground, and a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out of her mouth, staining the ground red in an instant.

She rolled around on the ground a few times before she froze.

"Humph!"

A fierce glint flashed in Barberta's eyes, and she rushed towards Merlin...... Kiko is the most promising child of the Barberta family to become a full-fledged wizard, and his death at the hands of Merlin today is tantamount to a catastrophe for the Barberta family, you must know that the physical fitness of wizards limits their ability in terms of children, and excellent wizard bloodlines are even more rare, and he can't wait to devour Merlin alive now.

Just when he came to a place not far from Merlin, Merlin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned her head, and two blood-colored scimitars appeared, each drawing an arc trajectory towards Barberta.

"You want to hurt me even if you're a third-level apprentice?"

Barberta smiled coldly, and a layer of energy shield suddenly appeared on her body,

Bang!

The scimitar slashed at the energy shield with a dull sound, and Barberta raised his hand to unleash a massive wind blade.

Bang!

Merlin slammed her palms on the ground, and her figure jumped to the side. With a click, the wind blade severed the roots of a large tree behind her, and fell down with a thud.

However. At this moment, there was a 'bang' next to him, and a tall figure spun out from behind the tree and punched Barberta...... For Barberta, in melee combat, as long as the energy shield is turned on, it is considered a mid-level knight. It can't break his energy shield.

But after he saw the figure's face clearly, his face changed drastically: "Shield Guardian?!"

The huge figure that suddenly appeared was none other than the shield defender who had already been ambushed here, under the cover of the breathing potion. Barberta didn't notice it at all...... In fact, the more reason is that Barberta can't afford a little wizard apprentice at all, and it is natural for him to suffer losses when he is in a state where he does not know his confidant.

Bang!

The shield defender's massive fist slammed into the shield outside of Barberta's body.

Ordinary people punch this punch. The body can be broken. The shield defender's fist is not only power, but also has a trace of strange energy, after all, it is an alchemy puppet, even if it is only a beginner, it should not be underestimated. However, such a powerful blow failed to penetrate Barberta's energy shield, but that power had already been transmitted through the shield to Barberta's aging body.

Burst!

Barberta felt as if her entrails had been struck with a hammer. After a crushing pain, I couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. The body was like a leather ball, and it was thrown up.

He is not worried, but happy, as long as he distances himself from the shield defender, he can deal with this stupid big guy in every second.

However, just as Barberta was about to cast the spell, a frightened expression appeared on his face, and he heard a clattering sound, and from behind the bushes, a lizard with a metallic sheen rushed out, and it slammed ...... The thick tail flicked towards Barberta, which flew through the air.

Poof!

The energy shield on Barberta's body instantly dimmed, and the three blade-like metal thorns on his tail pierced Barberta's old and thin body in an instant, and blood spurted wildly.

Almost at the same time, Merlene, who had already jumped to the side, suddenly rushed into Barberta's arms, and a blood-red dagger stabbed him in the chest.

"You...... cough......" Barberta only felt that something was disappearing from his body, and his eyes widened in anger to see Merlin's face clearly.

"You're old. ”

Merlin gently wiped the blood stains from the corners of her mouth, and the energy coming from the blood-devouring dagger had quickly repaired the shock in her body...... The Bloodthirsty Dagger can absorb and transform the energy of the victim to replenish the host's lost energy, and it also has the effect of healing and strengthening, but this is not endless, as long as it reaches a certain saturation level, the devouring will stop, which was discovered when assassinating those mercenaries just now.

Seeing that Barberta's eyes were gradually losing their luster of life, Merlin also breathed a sigh of relief and began to sort out the loot.

There was only one storage bag, which was found on Barberta's body, which contained a large number of golden tickets and nearly a hundred magic stones, as well as some common potions, and on the bodies of these two people, they each found a defensive witch weapon that had exhausted their energy, which was also a surprise.

This successful attack on Barberta once again proved the necessity of tactical use, blindly competing for strength, Merlin could easily get Kiko and him with those mercenaries. But if it comes to facing Barberta, she has little chance of winning...... Even an aging full-fledged wizard was not something she, a Level 3 apprentice, could confront head-on.

But Merlin took advantage of the other party's anger and contempt, set a series of traps, and finally ambushed her. Although Merlin's own injury is not in the plan, accidents are always inevitable, especially Merlin's injury, which greatly reduced Barberta's vigilance, but made the plan more perfect, and the attack of the shield guardian and the Balke sword lizard is no less than the attack of two high-level knights, even if it is the energy shield of a first-level wizard, it is difficult to preserve, and the last machine is completed by Merlin herself, and the blood-devouring dagger takes the opportunity to absorb Barberta's energy essence and quickly heal Merlin's wounds.

As the sky grew brighter, Merlin led the heads of Barberta and Kiko to Lincoln's grave...... She placed her head on the ground and turned away...... Although she didn't kill Lincoln, the old hunter was dragged by her and died in the forest, which was an explanation she promised to the old hunter.
