If Antun is the powerless protagonist of a suspense novel, and now he is facing a murderer wandering the dark streets, the next unfolding must have a different flavor.

It's a pity that he is a demon god in another world, and what finally appeared in front of him was not a murderer, but an old man with a cloudy eyes hidden in a black robe like ink.

Antoun was not naïve enough to think that the other party had nothing to do with the current situation, in fact, when he saw the familiar outfit, he quickly identified the person in front of him as a member of the hostile group he had encountered before, namely the "Forest of Thorns".

"The leader of the dog of the loser. ”

"Ho ho ...... Just because the old man has that group of dogs, it really can't be wrong......"

The old man approached unhurriedly as he spoke. Antoun felt from him an aura stronger than Gus, who was possessed by the puppet, but weaker than Byrne, similar to Jonah. As for which side will be more difficult to deal with than Jonah, it is difficult to say whether the two have actually fought either.

Probably sequence four or five?

After having a preliminary guess in his heart, Antoun did not rush to put on a confrontation posture.

"Don't be nervous, young man...... I'm just here to say hello on an errand. ”

"I actually said that it was by the way, and I felt as if I was being looked down upon. ”

"The old man didn't say that, but I enjoyed the active posture of the young man with His Royal Highness the Holy Son from a great vantage point......

As if lightning flashed in his mind, Antoun instantly remembered the way Rogelin looked at a certain iron tower in the distance when he came out of the collapsed hotel and was about to decide the direction of escape in the "Forest of Thorns" realm.

The inexplicable act at the time is now finally being explained. But if the old man is alone, forget it, the so-called Holy Son, who sounds like he should be a person from the Holy See, is there any meaning or purpose in telling him his whereabouts?

While thinking about it, Antoun didn't pull down the conversation between the two.

"How about saying goodbye when you're done saying hello?" Or does the 'old man' want to show me the way himself?"

"Ho ho, the old man heard that there is a saying that 'it depends on the owner to beat the dog'......"

Well, it's not like I'm going to fight for a long time.

Antoun pursed his lips while slightly adjusting his body and preparing for battle. As if to see that he had already guessed his next move, the old man smiled happily along with a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"When people are old, sometimes they become attached to certain things. Being left behind and being chased back is not a privilege reserved for young people. Young man, do you say yes or no?"

"When it is time to serve the old, you have to serve the old, so that it is in line with the laws of nature. ”

"For magicians, the idea of 'following the rules' doesn't make sense. ”

"I think so. ”

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and an eerie silence fell between the two. The old man was still slowly closing the distance, seeing that he was less than fifteen meters away from the staggered position, Antoun gathered his magic power in his limbs and was ready to make a tentative move, but the old man made a move he didn't expect at this node.

He eventually stopped 10 meters away and lifted the hood he had been wearing since his debut. Hidden underneath it was a skin befitting his age, as if it had been scratched on a giant tree with a knife and axe, and the ravines were wide and lifeless. And when he could only barely see his eyes and mouth before, Antoun didn't have any special feelings, but now when he looked at the whole picture, he suddenly felt that the old man's facial features were strangely harmonious - no, are they really the facial features of a normal person? Although it is very strange to say, Antoun felt the old man's persistence in beauty in the combination of his facial features.

"Don't be surprised, young man. The old man did say that he had a good face just now—isn't the beauty of appearance included in this part of the content?"

The old man still maintained the same smile as before he lifted his hood, and the green glint in his eyes flashed, but Antoun felt some unknown oppression descending from the void, and the flow of magic in his body was stagnant.

It was put on the table.

As the first strategy of the confrontation between the two sides, Antoun knew that he had fallen into the trap set by the other party against the way the magicians in this world did not know much about the battle. At this time, the blocked power in his body urgently needs to be vented, that is, he has to send it when the arrow is ready. Without much thought, he flashed behind his opponent with "Instant", and then punched out.

Although most of the opponents can guess his thoughts, but at the moment it is just a duel of pure speed, even if you understand his fighting style, the speed of action can't keep up, and no matter how much defense you try, it will be in vain. In the previous duel with Gus, as a warrior, Gus kept up with his movements with the physical fitness of the "Iron Soldier", and Antoun is now very curious, what will the magician do in the face of this situation?

Obviously, it was too late to turn around on the spot, and the old man had no intention of dodging, seeing that Antun's fist was about to touch his body, something suddenly shot out from under the old man's robe, and wrapped his hand tightly as if it was about to cut off muscles, and gradually extended the intention to bind his whole person.

In an instant, Antoun noticed the body of the thing, which was the branch of some kind of tree. Contrary to the old man whose vitality has almost disappeared, this thriving branch seems to be eulogizing the beauty of life.

Ignoring the expensive clothes he had just bought, Antoun used Senluo to transform the magic power in his body into a fire attribute, and then let it explode on the surface of his arm, destroying the unformed wooden cage in an instant.

Then he used the wreckage of the cage as a point of strength, kicked violently, and flew away from the old man. At the same time, he was not idle in his hands, imitating the strange plot that occurred when the last battle was near the end, relying on the magic to shape and make a three-handled stone dagger in an instant, attaching the fire magic and projecting it towards the old man.

Blocking the blow of his steel fist, the old man who had already turned around did not make any special moves, but the thorn bushes that quickly emerged from the ground tightly protected his body, completely blocking out the explosion of magic power.

Then, less than half a second, Antoun heard a loud bang from the side of his body. He had previously discovered that a stout tree that had become an integral part of the concept of a "labyrinth" and that had become indestructible to destroy it directly, and a stout tree that looked to be over 100 years old suddenly appeared on the walls of the house, and it twisted unnaturally towards him with the momentum that would cross the entire street.

Originally wanting to throw the dagger and then chase the old man, he had to temporarily avoid the edge, flicked his palm on the giant tree, and then moved back a distance in the air.

Unexpectedly, this time it was another giant tree growing in the area behind him, and the new branches on the bare trunks of the two ancient trees in front of him sprouted and grew, and at the same time coiled and circled like a giant snake, completely filling the not too wide street in the blink of an eye. If one were to look at the town from above at this time, one could see a spiral of branches suddenly appear in a corner of the residential area, which was originally a symbol of modern civilization.

To be honest, this is probably an exaggerated performance made by the old man in order to "save face", after all, such a magical effort may not necessarily be effective, just like the act of interpreting the word "flashy", as long as it is still a normal person in battle. But it is also thanks to this that Antun, who is at the center of the spiral twist, intuitively understands the magic of the old man.

If you show it in the "system" column, it would probably look like this:

Name:???

Age:???

Level: 82 (Sequence 5)

Rank: Magician

Life:???

Mana: ???/11879

Strength: ??? Stamina: ??? Dexterity: 161 (D-)

Mana: 533 (B) Will: 408 (C+) Luck: ???

Judging from the main attributes of their respective ranks, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched, if the other party still has any trump cards hidden, then their own side is overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

It's not easy to deal with.

While thinking about countermeasures in his heart, Antun made a stone sword - it was possible to blow it up directly with the magic power of fire, but after doing so, it was not very beautiful after all, and cut off the giant wood snake with "slashing the wind". The wreckage that fell to the ground turned into a "swarm of snakes" in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that it was about to bite him again.

At this time, he had an idea, jumped from the ground to the air, and seemed to be condescending to pounce directly on the old man, but in fact, he wanted to use the non-existent wall in the air to get rid of the "snakes" scattered all over the ground and move directly.

In fact, as he expected, the wall fixed by the magic could not be covered with another magic trick, and the old man's magic manipulating the trees had no room to be released in the air, and it would take a short time for the trees on the ground to reach his position.

In such a gap, he tried to replicate the action of the previous one, using the Sun Spear to surprise and try to end the battle directly. After all, now he has to rush to Luo Jielinti's side, but he doesn't have time to dwell on it here.

The old man, who reacted from his "weird" act of stepping in the air, apparently knew that the trees on the ground could not attack in time, and immediately relinquished control of them. As the wreckage fell again, new vegetation gathered around him, as if to form some kind of defense.

Seeing this, Antun chuckled in his heart, and after estimating his foothold, he smoothly took out the Sun Spear from the dimensional crystal. This time, instead of throwing it, he held the spear with both hands, flashed it to the front of the old man with "instantaneousness", and stabbed it.

It was supposed to be a winning move, but when Antun witnessed the burning rotten wood of the old man in front of him begin to turn into ashes, he realized his carelessness.

Since the old man could see the scene where he had given the members of the "Forest of Thorns" a devastating blow at the beginning, how could he miss the duel between himself and Gus later? Presumably, the old man had already taken precautions against this move of his own. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, and how much the balance of victory and defeat will tilt now depends on the extent to which the old man realizes his own ability.

As if blessed to the soul, the next moment, Antoun looked back and saw as if the movie was repeated, and the old man reappeared from the darkness.

"Young man, if you want to burn the whole forest, it seems that the sporadic sparks just now are not enough, right?"

"I know it without you saying it. ”

Facing the old man with the same smile on his face, Antoun was ready for the second round.
