Chapter 158: Hunting at Dusk

The first to be destroyed was the flaming wall.

An astonishing cold erupted from Roland's body, frosty white ice creaked from the ground, and a suffocating wind burst like a spiral, instantly extinguishing the flames on the surrounding walls.

But the flame did not tremble with the cold wind before it disappeared, but was frozen in the air like a living thing, and then shattered.

The fire on that wall was not so much extinguished by the cold and the wind as it was broken.

The surrounding walls decayed and twisted at a rapid rate after the flames had completely disappeared, and large scars of the black, burnt yellow scars that had raged after the fire raged appeared on the walls. Subsequently, the ceiling became mottled and worn out at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the floor cracked.

This is undoubtedly the scene long after the destruction of the Gargoyle Inn.

"This can't be—"

Looking at the scene inside the crystal ball, a young wizard with brown hair and black-rimmed glasses couldn't help but show a panicked gaze.

In his mind, this was a sight that should never have happened.

Before graduating, he was an intern at the Waste Development Bureau, where he saw the effects of witchcraft in the Old City.

If the witchcraft is working properly, the virtual inn that has been preserved from the history of the Waste Development Bureau should dissipate along with the "guests" inside after the fire becomes more rapid and unstoppable by the usual means; If the disaster is prevented, the virtual inn will remain there for a while, and will not disappear until all the guests leave.

Whatever the case may be. It is impossible for the old city to construct a post-destruction scenario. Because this witchcraft doesn't have this function at all.

Unless the caster artificially modifies the surrounding environment to do so.

――But how is that possible?

The young wizard was very convinced. None of the adjustments you make will have this effect.

Then, he focused his gaze on the face of the cold girl in black clothes and black hair.

It's definitely her problem.

"Suze people...... Who the hell is she? ”

The young wizard muttered incredulously.

I'm afraid I'm hallucinating. The young wizard bent over. His face was almost pressed against the crystal ball, and he repeatedly checked that he had made any mistakes in his modifications to the illusion.

He never believed that those two scumbags could survive in the deadlock that he had worked so hard to set up......

"Damn...... It's also in the tower, and it's also here...... I knew that hiding behind a woman, An Ruosi's little white face ......"

The young wizard whispered through gritted teeth.

But he couldn't throw in the towel.

An Ruosi finally left the White Tower, and there was only one chance.

In the unlikely event that Ann and Robert escape from the illusion and return to the White Tower, even the job he managed to find at the Waste Development Bureau could be affected.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out his ritual knife again, and slashed it into his left hand, which was full of knife marks. Instantaneous blood flowed.

Blood spontaneously floated in the air, and characters twisted into various shapes were then printed on the crystal ball.

In his whisper, the crystal ball floated in the air again, spinning slowly.

- Lack of magic.

Less than half is left. The young wizard estimated his magic power and couldn't help but frown.

Even with this crystal ball to assist in casting, the terrifying illusion must be abandoned.

The only magic that is there must be to create something that kills people in order to break the ice.

The young wizard couldn't help but look at Roland.

He finally realized that this woman was the most dangerous existence compared to Robert and An Ruosi, who were trapped in a fantasy and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Yes...... Priests? ”

He squinted his eyes and kept adjusting the angle of the picture. But no matter how he adjusted. Roland's figure was tightly hidden by the white blizzard.

Through the white cold wind, you can vaguely see the flowing waist-length hair flying wildly, and the soft black robe is also hunting by the wind.

It's like an elf dancing in the snow. The slender figure gives people the illusion that if they are not careful, they will be blown by the cold wind.

But even if he couldn't see Roland's appearance at the moment, the young wizard still looked at Roland in a daze and couldn't extricate himself.

About half a minute passed. He was awakened by a shattering sound.

In an instant, his eyes were filled with shock and fear.

"Natural charm. Confuse...... Could it be that this woman is a goblin? Or rather?! ”

Suddenly, the young wizard no longer dared to look at Roland, so he could only hurriedly move the picture away.

But then he heard the strange breaking sound again.

The young wizard probed again and again. Finally, I realized that it was a broken sound, and it was coming from Roland's direction.

It sounded about every two seconds - like the sound of fishermen chiseling ice in winter, and like the guards neatly slamming the ends of their spears to the ground.

And the shattering sound grew louder and clearer.

A growing sense of unease rolled through the young wizard's heart. Finally. He couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes. He wiped the blood of his left hand on his eyelids.

If you can't see it with the naked eye, use witchcraft detection.

You have to see what she's done.

But when he looked at Roland with a vision to detect witchcraft, he couldn't help but shake his whole body, and the crystal ball fell directly to the ground.

"Carl? What are you doing? Why is there such a big movement? ”

The boss's angry voice came from the next room, and the footsteps were getting closer.

"Won't you maintain the instrument? Isn't it...... Cal? No! Stop casting now! ”

The boss's anger grew in Carl's ears.

Because the moment he looked at Roland with probing sorcery, he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

In that cold and glamorous. Behind the bewildered girl, a huge, two-eyed phantom stared coldly at her.

As soon as Carl saw the huge eyeball, he felt his blood turn into some kind of cold, sticky foreign body.

Even if he wanted to look away, he couldn't. Carl's gaze seemed to be sucked, and he could only watch the huge eyes behind Roland staring at him quietly.

The skin of the eyeballs is fragile and transparent, and countless colorful and slender snakes crawl inside the eyeballs, and the shape of the eyeballs is constantly changing because of the squeezing of these small snakes.

In the very center of the eyeball, the only place where there are no small snakes, is a circle formed by two black snakes that cling to each other's tails and devour each other's tails.

Anyone who touched the dim yellow circle would hiss, twist into a mass of flesh, and then burst open, blooming with a fierce dim yellow glow.

Fortunately, before Karl could see what was in the light, he felt a huge force coming from behind him, and he was directly pushed aside.

-- It is a "repulsive bombardment" of the combat system.

In an instant, he recognized the witchcraft that attacked him.

His head hit the corner of the table and blood flowed out.

However, thanks to this, Karl's vision finally got out of the crystal ball. After that, he didn't even have time to pay attention to his snarling boss, but turned off the detection of witchcraft in the first place.

Only then did Karl feel that he was bleeding from all his knots, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't stand up.

"You bastard! I told you that you are absolutely not allowed to use the Old City without examiner qualifications! You're dead! No one can protect you! ”

As if because of Carl's ignorance, his boss was even more furious.

It dawned on Carl that his work and life seemed to be over.

Using a top-secret object to try to kill an innocent person as a trainee is enough to kill yourself three times.

…… What should be done?

"It's better to kill your mouth."

Carl completely ignored his boss who kept scolding him, and just said to himself.

"How to extinguish your mouth! You teach me? One is a disciple of the Star Caller, and the other is a member of the Titan royal family...... Wait, this dark-haired woman is also very familiar...... It won't be ......"

Karl was immersed in some kind of wonderful realm, completely oblivious to what his boss was saying.

The dim light flickered under Karl's eyes, and his left hand, which was bleeding continuously, stopped bleeding, and the small snake shook its head and emerged from the wound in his left hand.

Seeing his boss look down at the crystal ball with his back to him, Carl shook his groggy head again, stood up quietly with salivation, and grabbed his boss's neck with both hands from behind.

Originally, with Carl's current physical condition, even if he sneaked up, he couldn't control his boss with a silver-level spell casting level. But the moment he grabbed him by the neck, the small snake in his left hand also bit his boss's throat at the same time.

Suddenly, dark yellow spider web-like cracks spread densely from his neck. This silver-level wizard with the tall body unique to Su Ze's man suddenly spat at the foam, his whole body was weak, and his pupils began to dilate.

However, neither of them noticed that after the louder and louder shattering sound reached a limit, the crystal ball behind them finally shattered.

"Got you."

A cold voice came from behind the two people who were entangled, and a frost-white cold wind rushed over, instantly drowning the two of them. (To be continued......)
