Chapter 105: The Hunt (I)

"Bang ——!"

The seemingly sturdy door was torn apart by a force without warning;

Outside the door, the gray-robed man who had not yet put down his left hand with the "spellcaster" and maintained the posture of "Force Impact" was extremely vigilant, but he was still staring at the figure of the black-haired wizard in the room in disbelief.

He... Why didn't you escape?

The gray-robed man's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and the right hand holding the stabbing sword tightened even harder, and the silver sword body continued to strain.

He was the only night watchman in the entire imperial capital who had fought Loren Turin twice.

Both times, it was a fiasco.

From launching the raid to slaughtering the servants of the guards in the Summer Twilight Courtyard to breaking through the door, the twenty-two Night's Watch men took only a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour... The gray-robed man knew very well that others might not be able to do it, but this guy in front of him definitely had a thousand ways to break through the strangulation of the night watchman and escape from the courtyard that had been ambushed on all sides!

The expressionless black-haired wizard looked up, his dark gaze shooting from the gloomy room, so calm that he couldn't see the killing intent, but it gave people an endless sense of oppression.

The gray-robed man was slightly stunned, clenching his blade, as if facing a great enemy!

Why am I the one who is afraid?

Now that all the exits to the entire Summer Twilight courtyard were blocked by the Night's Watch, it was too late for him to escape, just above and below this room, on the balcony, in the corridor...... There are people waiting for them.

Numbers alone don't make sense to deal with such people - he could see in the tavern that Loren Turin was very good at dealing with melees, and could even turn the disadvantage of one enemy into his advantage, and too many men would be a burden.

Front, back, left, right, top...... To kill him, five people are enough!

"Balconies, two. ”

Loren spoke suddenly, his dark pupils slightly sideways.

The gray-robed man was slightly stunned.

"Overhead, one. ”

A flat voice, resounding in the dead room.

"Hallway, one. ”

Raising his head, the black-haired wizard's gaze was direct, and the killing intent in his eyes made the gray-robed man shudder.

"There is another ......" Loren looked around and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's in the room." ”

The gray-robed man's pupils shrank suddenly!

The black-haired wizard's right hand was raised lightly, and the "bright silver" sword glow exuded an extremely disturbing color.

"It's true... A person returning from the Broken Mountain Fortress. The night watchman standing outside the door remained motionless, the tip of his sword moving behind his feet: "How did you notice that?"

After a moment of stunnedness, a sneer appeared on Loren's face.

The gray-robed man stared at him, and the originally trembling stabbing sword was no longer moving at the moment.

The Night's Watch are the Empire's top assassins and agents - assassinating, raiding, hiding, ambushing, infiltrating...... It can be said that there is no one else in the world.

There may be people who can block his blade, but those who can detect his whereabouts... Almost non-existent.

But that wasn't what really shocked the gray-robed man, and it wasn't what he wanted to ask.

"That's not what you want to ask. Loren said coldly:

"The question you really want to ask is why I didn't leave, didn't do as you expected at the moment when the raid started... Escape from the Summer Twilight Garden. ”

"Or... The moment I realized that Edward had betrayed me. ”

The voice full of murderous intent was cold and piercing, and the gray-robed man subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that there was no way back behind him.

But the black-haired wizard did not step forward, nor did he press closely, but only stood still.

Under the treacherous atmosphere, the gray-robed man's breathing became more and more rapid.

Loren still didn't change color at all, only the bright silver in his right hand still emitted a cold light.

The gray-robed man had no doubt that if he took half a step forward, that extremely strange weapon would tear himself to pieces!

Dead......

"Why?" the gray-robed man gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with fear.

Could it be that ... Is it Edward?

That traitor really shouldn't have believed him!

"Could it be... Is it Edward?"

The black-haired wizard's voice came abruptly again, and the voice was still extremely weird.

"Could it be... Someone else?"

"Could it be... It was my own mistake that leaked the news;"

"Guess who... betrayed the Night's Watch;"

"So that I can be besieged by twenty-two night watchmen, and still have such a fearless ......"

"Standing here?"

The gray-robed man's face was pale, his right hand clenching the hilt of the sword was already covered with cold sweat, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes were constantly trembling.

Loren, who was expressionless, just looked at him coldly.

Like a devil in the shadows.

"Hehehe... Hehe... Heheheha......"

Suddenly, the black-haired wizard burst out laughing, almost hearty in the dead silence of the summer twilight courtyard littered with corpses.

A strong uneasiness suddenly hit the gray-robed man's mind, and he only saw that Loren Turin's expression was getting sharper and sharper, and his killing intent was getting stronger and stronger.

"I'm sorry for the delay... I didn't expect you to be watching around, and not even one dared to do anything. ”

Loren sneered, and the sarcasm couldn't be more obvious: "The murderous reputation of the Night's Watch... I'm going to lose them all by you!"

"You?!"

At the moment of anger, the gray-robed man suddenly woke up: "Are you delaying time?!"

"Guessed right, it's a pity that there is no reward!"

The black-haired wizard smiled, "Alone in the face of twenty-two night watchmen, unprepared, is simply killing yourself...... But it's a pity that I've only recently mastered this high-level spell, and it hasn't been burned in my spiritual hall yet. ”

"Even if you use a magic array, it takes a quarter of an hour to prepare... in order to expand the scope to the entire summer twilight courtyard. ”

"To be honest, I didn't pin my hopes on this at all, just in case... But I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, giving me plenty of time to complete it. ”

A quarter of an hour... Summer Dusk Courtyard ...... The gray-robed man suddenly raised his head and shouted in horror:

"Everyone, run——!!!!"

"It's too late!"

The moment the words fell, Loren raised his left hand, and the gray-blue void substance dripped from his fingertips like droplets.

The gray-robed man's pupils shrank suddenly.

The moment he fell to the ground, a magic array opened up at Loren's feet, instantly spreading throughout the entire room at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading to the entire Summer Twilight Courtyard!

A violent roar was heard, and the floor beneath his feet fell apart. Before they could gain a foothold, the gray-robed man fell along with countless pieces of rubble.

The moment he fell, he was terrified... Only the cruel smile of the black-haired wizard was seen.

The endless darkness, like countless tentacles, the bottomless stagnant water, swallowed him in an instant.

High-level spell, "Dream of Ran"!

This is a very special spell, and it is also the second high-level spell created by Loren himself.

For a long time, Loren had an inertial thinking in his mind - the ultimate principle of the spell is to rely on the power of the void to deceive the material world, so if you want to maximize the effect of the spell, using the power of the material world itself is the best choice.

That's where the fire of Turin originated... No matter how powerful a monster is, as long as it is physical, it is impossible to resist the high temperature of more than two thousand degrees at the moment of the flame explosion!

But since they are all using the power of the natural world, why do they have to use the most direct way?

Since it is possible to create earth walls, air waves, flames, and explosions out of nothing......

Then refracting light, perceiving flips, creating illusions...;

and even distort the laws within a certain range, so that the earth can melt, shadows become entities, and water can burn......

Or even set a whole new law... Just like the game, guess the box, the wooden man, blackjack...... It's not impossible!

After the battle of the Dragon King City, Loren felt quite deeply about this, especially the apostle of the evil god Lemantes, the power that is almost like a law... On the premise of not using the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail, it is impossible for him to do that.

However, he can use the characteristics of the magic circle to reverse a part of the space and create a new rule - just like a game.

And that's thanks to two people...... The Charn family's "Spiritual Vision" itself is a large-scale, range-type high-level spell, which can be regarded as a model for Loren;

And Albert Tarot, the former wizard advisor... His signature "realm", the way in which the power of the void filled the entire space, gave Loren inspiration.

"So ......"

"Game on!"
