The winding lightning fell from the sky, slamming into the magic shield, and the transparent shield suddenly appeared like ripples like water waves, at this moment, Rhaegar clearly felt the impact of the lightning on the shield, and the geist had to call up more strength from the sea of souls to maintain the stability of the magic shield.

However, this lightning bolt was only a prelude to a series of attacks, or rather, just a guide to attack, as it disappeared, a dozen lightning bolts as thick as at least a baby's arm fell towards Rhaegar almost in no order, and the huge energy made the magic shield that had been so difficult to stabilize fall apart in an instant, and a dozen silver pythons containing terrifying electricity pounced on the unprotected geist from different directions.

Before the lightning struck the target, Rhaegar's body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared at the edge of the woods nearly a hundred meters away, but before he could escape to safety, a fireball with a diameter of nearly one meter landed on his back and exploded. The force of the impact sent the geist's body flying into the air, and the flames burned all over him as he left the ground, and then, before he could hit the ground, several acid arrows pierced his body that had been transformed into a humanoid torch.

A man wrapped in black robes appeared at Rhaegar's side out of thin air, observing his injuries. The flames on the latter's body were gradually extinguishing due to the dissipation of the magic, but before that, he had been badly burned, his entire body was emitting a smell similar to that of burnt meat, and a blood hole the size of a bowl had been blown out of his back, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs flowing out of his body, and acid arrows had begun to melt his body - even the most ignorant could tell that life had left this body.

The pungent stench of the liquid from the corrosion of the flesh by the acid drifted down the wind to the black-robed man, and the mage covered his nose in disgust, and he reconfirmed his opponent's death as quickly as he could, and then hurried away from the scene.

The black-robed mage, who was anxious to report the completion of the task to his master, did not notice that in the bushes not far from him, a translucent blurred figure was quietly watching all this under the cover of the trees.

Rhaegar was not surprised by the attack, in fact, it was exactly what he had been waiting for.

What happened to him in the Proving Ground led Rhaegar to believe that inside the Mage Tower, someone with great power was targeting him, but he had no clues, and the other party had already erased all traces that might reveal him. The feeling of being stared at like a prey in the shadows was not pleasant, and more importantly, since the opponent could attack in the heavily guarded proving grounds, it meant that he was not completely safe even under the protection of the Mage Tower—perhaps one day, when he woke up from meditation, he would find that his head was gone.

There's only one way to find that person.

After leaving the Mage's Tower for his travels, Rhaegar did not enter the densely populated areas, but instead set out on his way to the desolate Central Marshes. This undoubtedly provided the greatest convenience for the actions of some well-intentioned people, and after several days of close observation to confirm that no one was secretly protecting, the opponent who was bent on putting Regaard to death finally made a move, and a mage who was at least a seventh-order mage hid in the shadows and suddenly launched an attack, and the result was that there was no suspense, and the body of the geist was almost completely destroyed under the powerful magic.

At the same time as the black-robed mage left, Rhaegar returned to his physical body. The severity of the damage this time was even greater than when he first took over the body, but for Rhaegar now, such an injury was at best a little more difficult to repair- Those ubiquitous magical energy sensed his situation for the first time, and countless energy particles quickly poured into his body, repairing the damage on it, and at the same time, a large amount of life energy was continuously injected into all parts of the body, and after twenty minutes, although it was far from fully recovered, the vitality had returned to the body of the geist.

Rhaegar sent a request to the surrounding energy particles to continue repairing his body, while injecting some more life energy into his body, and then the geist left the body and burrowed into the body of a bird perched on a nearby tree.

After the breakthrough in the Proving Grounds, more memories returned to Rhaeggar's consciousness, some of which were undoubtedly extremely useful to him now - it was a method of soul possession and manipulation of other creatures, and the manipulated bird fluttered its wings and flew off into the distance under the guidance of the magic mark placed on the black-robed mage beforehand.

Even a mage can't match the speed of a bird, and a few minutes later, the figure of the black-robed mage who had performed the swift spell appeared in Rhaegar's sight, this mage was clearly unprepared for tracking from high altitudes - although many mages would maintain at least one detection magic around their bodies even on a regular basis, but no one cared about a bird that was nothing special - still concentrating on his way, and soon he entered a hidden cave.

Rhaegar trailed through the vines at the entrance of the cave like a real bird, hiding in the shadows of the corner of the cave before the black-robed mage found out.

Apparently unaware of his presence, the geist's opponent simply laid out a defensive spell, and the black-robed mage took a crystal ball from his pocket and placed it on the ground, and began to concentrate on chanting the incantation.

"Is it done?" a minute later, the image of a man appeared in the crystal ball, "I'm sure you won't let me down." ”

"As you wish," replied the black-robed mage respectfully, "that person will no longer be a problem for you." ”

"Very well," the figure's voice remained calm, as if it had heard only insignificant news, "I will remember this matter, and you will be rewarded unexpectedly, I promise you." The image in the crystal ball faded away, "Finally, my friend, remember to erase all traces before you return." ”

Before the figure disappeared, with the faint light of the crystal ball, Rhaegar finally saw the appearance of the main messenger behind the attack on him: he had a tall figure and a well-defined face, even if it was just an image, the geist could still feel the invisible pressure on the other party, it was a temperament that was a mixture of great strength and the majesty cultivated by being in a position of power for a long time, and in the Mage Tower, except for his teacher Carson, there was only one person with such a temperament.

Archdeacon of the Mage Tower, Archmage Villar.
