Adventurers are moving, and under this dark red night sky, the city has begun to burn in its entirety......

The flames of the "shooting star" and the firelight of various neighborhoods illuminate the sky of this night.

The master of the city stood in front of his former subordinates, and the abrupt betrayal did not seem to have caused much damage to his will, and then he only sighed a little regretfully, and then raised the staff in his hand slightly, and glanced back at the red-haired girl who was already at a loss for what to do out of the corner of his eye, and said in a calm voice: "Get out of here first, child, go to a safe place." ”

Victor chooses to protect Dorothy. This was just a gesture for a mage of his level, and the power of magic immediately flowed through his hand to the girl whose face was already stunned, and a layer of white light rose up that wrapped the latter's body, and then swiped it, disappearing like a book turning the page.

Forced teleportation, a spell casting method that imposes teleportation on the recipient.

"Alright, Ted, it's just the two of us now." After sending Dorothy away, Victedo's gaze was cast from the iron helmet on his head and moved back to the octopus face of the Spirit Sucking Mage, "But before we start, maybe we can talk about the conditions?" Could it be that after so many years of cooperation, there is not even a little room for salvage in our relationship? ”

"Nope." Ted replied dryly, "The Doomsday Cult has made conditions that I can't refuse, and their attitude is much friendlier than your instructions. ”

"Well, the indicator...... Well, yes, I did, probably when I found you from the Shadows more than twenty years ago. Victor paused, his expression slightly surprised, "But you signed that contract voluntarily. I need your strength to serve me, you need my knowledge to make your dreams come true, and the contract is an insurance policy that is better than any trust...... But did I use that indicator to put any excessive curse on you? Didn't you? Not allowing you to suck human brains on the surface? Please, that's common sense, okay? I'm doing this for your good, too, in case your appetite eats up your humanity, though the word "humanity" may not be appropriate for psionic monsters. ”

“…… Shut up. ”

"Shut up? Is this what you ask of your savior? Have you forgotten who once freed you from the spiritual slavery of a bottom-dwelling demon fish in the dark and deep underworld? That's right, that's me. I save you because I appreciate your pursuit of knowledge and your persistence in the pursuit of knowledge, and this precious thirst for knowledge even shows a hint of victory over your evil nature...... So believe me, Ted, that the Order has made you not hopeless, and that the path of the Doomsday Cults leads to destruction, and that the objects of their faith are not even part of our universe. The knowledge of evil gods? Don't ask for anything like that, it won't enrich your mind, it will subvert your cognition, a vicious subversion—"

"Enough!"

"Are you impatient because I deny your judgment and determination? Don't do that, Ted, it's a mage's disqualification to lose his cool. As a psion, your weakness should not be emotional instability. Draco controls all of them better than you in this regard, and he's not really a pure mage...... Then again, is the condition that the Doomsday Cult has set for you really the knowledge of some evil god? Do you think that would be better than what I promised you? Or is there something you don't like about the intelligence of dragons? ”

"You're talking too much nonsense, Dragon Vein Mage!"

"So that's why you betrayed me? Dislike another mage who is stronger than you for instilling in you the philosophy of life? I'm half of your mentor, am I? ”

"You're about to lose the last of my respect for you!"

"Long-winded nagging is to avoid paying the maximum price. I don't think this nonsense is so boring to you, isn't your job to stay here and delay me anyway? I should be in a more hurry than you, could it be that the contract between us has really made you restless with the tentacles that haven't sucked a human brain for too long? Oh yes, speaking of that contract, I'm curious how you managed to break free from the instructions I put on you. Do you turn to the Apostles of Doom for help? Or did they come to you on their own initiative...... Hey, wait, what are you going to do? ”

Ted wasn't going to grind with Victedo anymore, he knew that this damn mage had the power of the transcendent realm, and at the same time had a level of verbal combat that surpassed mortals, and that it was purely his own logic to speculate.

The spell of magic hummed low between the four tentacles on the Psiclist's mouth. The octopus-headed creature from the underworld leaned forward to his black snake staff, the magic gem at the tip of the long stick shining with his wisdom.

Victor was relieved. The lord of the castle was not afraid to confront him, but only felt deep regret from the bottom of his heart, as if he had witnessed his apprentice go astray as a teacher.

Immediately, he also performed his own spell, and the staff in his hand was another wooden stick, the tip of which was shaped like a copper-colored dragon claw clasping a bright gold orb.

The smooth surface of the orb immediately reflected the next second.

There is no interplay of fire and ice, no lightning and thunder.

The two people present were both high-level spellcasters, and they all made similar choices, and the first time the battle began, they first activated their pre-set "spell sequencers", and applied three different types of self-protection spells to themselves at once.

The first is "Spell Reversal", which unfolds a magic shield and reflects the next spell that is cast on you to your opponent.

The second is the "Mind Barrier", which makes the recipient immune to any type of mind control for a period of time.

The only difference is in the pre-selected third spell of the two. Ted Hirst chose the "Shadow Gate" and tried to escape into a state of stealth to gain the first hand for himself in the next round of spellcasting, while Victor directly turned on the "True Gaze" and saw through this trick of illusion-for-tat.

The Psicosucker Mage was not upset by this, and immediately prepared for the second round of spellcasting.

The duel between high-level mages cannot avoid the "demon breaking" link, and he needs to perform his magic breaking spell on the premise of ensuring his own safety, trying to remove all layers of protection from his opponent's body, and then looking for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

This kind of tug-of-war can sometimes be decided at the moment when one side makes a mistake, otherwise it will turn into a battle for the number of spell slots to see who gets to the bottom of the lamp first.

Ted is a mage who specializes in change, and is opposed to the prophecy school. The dissociation and petrification of the 6 rings are the special kills he is very good at, and the death finger of the 7 rings also belongs to the category that can be considered, but the classic instant killing spell belongs to the necromancy. He can die, but is not particularly good at it, and can cast spells less quickly and with less quality than expected.

So when this one-on-one mage duel quickly entered the second round, he made his own decision, and the four blue-purple tentacles in front of his mouth suddenly spread towards the air in front of him.

It was a race-like spell ability of the Spirit Sucker, "Psychic Blast".

The Psychic Blasts would have dealt a mental blow to the target and immobilized the weak-willed creatures, but at this point he had only used them to knock off the spell reversal shield on Victedo's body.

As long as that shield is still there, his cracking spell will bounce back to him, and the gains outweigh the losses.

And Victedo's choice is much more convenient than his. This dragon vein mage who has entered the transcendent realm and has the legend of capital impact has mastered several 9-ring level spells, and he himself is a mage specializing in the protection department, and the opposing school is the illusion department.

"Magic Blizzard" and "Great Split" are both 9-ring defensive spells. The "Spell Reversal" couldn't prevent such a high-ring spell, and the mage city lord then cast the former spell on the Spirit Sucker through his own chant, and the layers of protection on the latter's body were then shattered by an invisible heavy hammer, and they disintegrated in an instant.

Ted's defenses were broken.

But this spirit absorbing monster mage was not flustered, and the next moment he aimed his staff at the body of the dragon vein mage, and the final method of killing was still the petrification technique of the 6-ring change system.

The real-life effects of Dissociation may be a bit shocking to watch, but unlike Petrification, which petrified the target's flesh along with equipment, it prioritizes dissociating the clothing into a lime-like powder when it comes into contact with a living thing.

He didn't want that to be humiliating.

While dissociating Victor's dragon rune robe was a good achievement, he wanted to take away more than just an external robe.

At this moment, he is trying to directly take the life of the opponent in front of him!

This is his guild, his home realm, and half of the mage tower that belongs to him, even if the guild building is burned and destroyed on a large scale, the magic energy that cruising in it still recognizes his existence more, and the specific manifestation is that when he is here, his comprehensive spell casting ability will be stronger than when he is in other places.

Next, the trajectory of the petrification turned into a flying ball of magical light, which swooped into Victedo's body like an off-string arrow.

The surface of the Dragon Vein Mage City Lord's body suddenly transformed towards a dark gray hard substance. His appearance quickly turned gray like a stone sculpture, but the signs of life were still present in his body, proving that the change was not a must-kill caused by petrification.

Rather, it is the "Spell Shield" and "Stone Skin" caused by accidents, where the Stone Skin is an effective protection against physical damage, and the Spell Shield can be used as a one-time means of self-protection to counteract the vicious magical effects generated on one's body.

"You're still too impatient, Ted." Victor looked at the eager spirit sucking mage, and the tone of his mouth made a comment on him as if he hated iron but not steel, "Just as your impatient personality leads you astray in the pursuit of knowledge, even if it is gambling, you should know that I have more than one hole card on my body." ”

As the words fell, he raised the bronze dragon claw in his hand again to hold the staff of the orb, ready to cast a spell to fight back.
