Schug is a man of great integrity, at least when it comes to his friends, comrades-in-arms, and partners.

Therefore, when the members of the "Sword of Dawn" began to move, he hid directly near the target location and used magic to completely hide his presence.

It is true that he did not give any help to the Dawn agents in these operations, but at the same time, he is closely watching every step of the mission.

Through the swarm of rats that he had summoned and the magical perception that had completely enveloped the surrounding area, there were few details that escaped Xiuge's eyes.

He knew that the young girl who had pretended to be drying clothes was actually a magic apprentice, and that she was in the shadows behind the window, aiming a retained mage with a wheel rifle infused with silencer magic.

He knew that Felix was leading two other agents to the other end of the street, disguised as local police officers who were accustomed to blackmailing townspeople and foreign merchants, and were now ruffianly knocking on the window of the freight vehicle belonging to the Black Sun Society.

He also knew that the rest of the members of the Sword of Dawn were cautiously approaching the old fisherman's quarters, two of them having stopped at important locations, also carrying revolver rifles with silencer magic attached to them, and would go straight to sniping missions if the situation changed.

So far, these spies who have only been formed for a short time can be regarded as calm, and they are even more decisive in their actions.

You must know that even those spies cultivated by the Wattle Kingdom and the Ernst family may not have the ability and courage to launch a surprise attack on a stream-level mage head-on.

However, it was clear to Shuge that the real challenge was yet to come for these members of the Dawn Society.

How to complete the mission while keeping the hostages and those important items safe, and even capture the remaining members of the Black Sun Society alive, is the real key to this mission.

The members of the Black Sun Association who were responsible for directing and formulating this plan of action obviously had a serious misjudgment of Xiuge's ability, of course, this was also related to the fact that Xiuge had never exposed his full ability in front of the Black Sun Society, and under normal circumstances, the investment of two stream-level mages was already considered a very extravagant.

Although there was no way for their whereabouts and protection to hide from Xiuge, who wielded the Black Sun Scepter, this level of preparation was sufficient when dealing with ordinary spies and soldiers.

While the mages outside the house were completely contained, the members of the association inside were already aware of it—thanks to the protective rituals set up by the mages and the temporary connection between the two through magic.

As soon as either of them becomes unconscious or dies for various reasons, the other party will be immediately alerted accordingly.

It's simple and crude, but it's very practical.

Although these young "Sword of Dawn" agents were cautious enough, they knew very little about this kind of trick used between mages, so just as they were about to enter the house, the closed door suddenly exploded, and under the impetus of magic, an invisible wave of qi rushed straight in, and the huge impact knocked the two agents who were about to enter the room with guns to the ground.

The young man who had successfully controlled a mage before reacted the fastest, he pulled out the revolver he was carrying without saying a word, and pulled the trigger towards the destroyed gate, but as soon as the gunfire rang out, a protective barrier against bullets and arrows suddenly formed in mid-air, and the metal bullets flying forward were blocked on the spot, and the little magic crystals embedded in the bullets turned into shreds on the spot.

Seeing this, Xiuge, who was hidden in the shadows, shook his head helplessly.

Although the rapid development of steam machinery and the abrupt end of the Great War had taken a toll on the status of the mages, they are still masters of miracles and supernatural powers to this day.

Instead of immediately attacking the Black Sun Mage, or rushing to the rescue of the Dawn Society agents who had been exposed to magical attacks, he gently moved his fingers and placed two clusters of Destiny Roots directly around the house.

Then he struck up a conversation with the old guys in his mind.

Or rather, together, they pointed fingers at these young people who were in a bitter battle.

"It's been a long time, and the techniques and methods for spellcasters are still not systematic."

General Bernhardt, who was staying near the house at this time, sighed heavily, and said, "The means available to ordinary people are still too limited...... Even with guns and alchemy props, there is no way to get around the mage's messy academic knowledge. ”

"That's true."

Jacob, who once led the establishment of the spy system and the training of spies and spies within the Ernst family, said: "The only thing that can really target a mage is always another mage, or a powerful cannonball...... Hehe, even the alchemy items we distribute to the spies will be easily mastered by the mages, after all, the manufacture and design of these things cannot be bypassed them. ”

As we talked, the young man who had taken the lead in shooting at the Mage had been relentlessly bombarded by magic.

After confirming that there were no other powerful spellcasters around, the Black Sun Mage who came out of the room immediately showed his most hideous and terrifying side, and he had obviously undergone the transformation of the body's and magical circuits within the Society, so when he began to cast spells, a strange and unsettling mist immediately echoed around him.

Xiuge was surprised to see that the palm of the mage's right hand had been deformed in an instant.

Wrapped in a slightly familiar magic, his palms stretched directly into thick gray-black tentacles, which easily knocked the two spies who tried to shoot with their guns to the ground, and then rolled directly towards the young man dressed as a fisherman, entangled him to death.

"Forget it, it's almost there......"

Seeing this, Xiuge shook his head, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the dormant roots of fate immediately swayed, and the extremely real illusion came in an instant, and with the support of Xiuge's huge magical foundation, everyone present was dragged into it, and the association mage who wanted to slaughter all the members of the Dawn Society was naturally no exception.

In the hallucinations that affected everyone at once, the members of the Sword of Dawn were paying a terrible price for their previous actions, seeing their comrades pierced by their tentacles or twisted in two on the spot by their magic.

The female gunman hiding in the building was desperate to rescue her comrades, but the window had already been noticed, and before she could pull the trigger, she was hit by an extremely vicious "brain spike", and the whole person's consciousness was destroyed immediately.

The mage of the Society, who was "slaughtering on a spree", was already immersed in blood, praying to the Lord of the Boundless Seas he believed in, while constantly plundering the lives of these "lowly mortals" with the power of the gifts given to him by the god.

The two gunmen who had been ambushed nearby had also been exposed, but they clearly had a stronger will to fight, and after replacing the powerful crystallized bullets in time, the continuous fire finally destroyed the Formation Mage's protective ritual and successfully wounded one of his arms.

However, after the surgical transformation of the Black Sun Society, the power imitated by the sea god Calon as a model gave these casters extremely strong vitality and recovery ability......

Seeing that all his efforts had come to naught, Xiuge raised his hand slightly.

In this moment, he put an end to the illusion.

Flying blood, surging magic, tangled tentacles...... Everything was forcibly halted in a great illusion of fate.

The consciousness that had been lost by "death" returned, and these brave dead came to their senses, and they were surprised to see that their lost limbs and flesh were returned to their original state, and in this strange scene of dead silence, a figure holding a silver scepter slowly approached.

Shug approached the young fisherman, who had been pinched to death by the mage of the association with his tentacles in his previous hallucination, and he reached out and pulled the other man up from the ground: "Courage is commendable, but there is still too little to deal with mages...... Are you a highlander? ”

The young agent finally reacted, he looked around, and nodded helplessly: "Yes, Mr. Ernst, I was trained in Borden and sent to the Duchy of Boult, but I am now out of my original job. ”

"No wonder some of your skills have the shadow of the Waterl Chasseur."

Shuge smiled, and then he shook his scepter slightly, and the members of the Sword of Dawn who were immersed in their hallucinations woke up one after another, they were either frightened or surprised, but after noticing the strangeness around them and the appearance of Shuge in front of him, all emotions turned into anger and shame in an instant.

Then, the association mage finally woke up from his hallucination of "killing and killing".

And when he saw the figure holding the Black Sun Scepter and standing in front of him, the tide of despair immediately swallowed his will.

"The progress of the Black Sun Society in the study of magic is truly astonishing...... It seems that you are also a member of the so-called 'Poseidon Society' within the association, right? Want to see what the real 'Touch of Calon' looks like? ”

Shuge spread his hand slightly and sent an invitation to the other party.

Feeling the serious threat, the mage of the association naturally did not sit still, although he knew that he did not have much chance to defeat the strong enemy in front of him, but the trace of luck in his heart and the crazy belief in the real "sea god" supported him to launch a new round of attack.

Faced with the gray tentacles that swept towards him, Xiuge suddenly laughed.

He didn't do anything, not even set up any protective rituals.

With that, he leaned on his cane and took a step against the hideous tentacles.

He didn't even summon the real Calon Touch, nor did he release the abyss magic in his body, when those tentacles came to Xiuge, the incredible disintegration immediately began, as if the phantom collided with reality, these gray-black tentacles summoned by the other party began to retreat in an instant, and those who couldn't avoid it directly turned into fragments and bubbles.

"It seems that your belief in Charon is nothing more than that...... At least it won't take refuge in the presence of a blasphemous man like me. ”

Xiuge's voice was like sharp spikes, piercing the ears and brains of the mage of the association.

Feeling angry like never before, he raised his hand to unleash other spells, but the distance between them could no longer support his thoughts.

Never considered himself a traditional mage, or rather believed that all methods that could effectively crush an enemy while inflicting heavy damage on their bodies and spirits were a form of effective "magic", he stepped forward, a deep mist wrapped around the metal scepter in his hand, and then he swung his arm violently, slamming the oppressive light and shadow down on the opponent's head.

The barely constructed protective barrier shattered on the spot under the erosion of the abyssal mist, and the hard metal scepter hit the target with precision once more.

Under the horrified gaze of the members of the Dawn Society, Xiuge just carried the scepter and beat it again and again, without even using the "limb destruction technique", he used the most unpretentious and direct method to break all the limbs of the member of the Black Sun Society.

He didn't even give the other party a chance to struggle and kill himself, a brain spike technique that had been prepared was poured down, and the mage was turned into a mud that could not think or act on the spot.

There was a small chirping sound inside the house, and someone tried to look at it, but was stopped by Shuge raising his hand.

He turned his head and tossed the two Society Mages who had fallen to the ground, motioning for the agents to bandage their wounds, and then swept their faces with extreme sternness.

"I know it would seem ruthless and cold-blooded to say that, but I want you to know that joining the Sword of Dawn means that you need to perform the most important and dangerous missions on behalf of the Dawn Society, or indeed on behalf of everyone within the Dawn Society."

"In the course of these missions, sacrifice and death are inevitable, today it may be you, tomorrow it may be him...... You're going to have to deal with not only spies from other countries and organizations, not just the old-school mages in the Legislature and Council, but also their ......."

He pointed his scepter at the two Formation Mages lying on the ground, "I solemnly warn you that from this moment on, be sure to remove these fellows from the category of 'Vann Dwellers'...... After they began to believe in those ancient beings, their old race, ethnicity, and identity were gone. ”

"They should only be seen as traitors to Vann, twisted monsters succumbing to ancient powers, moths to be eradicated."

Shuge slammed his staff to the ground: "From now on, all your actions should be carried out on this basis...... Any mercy and restraint against these enemies is the greatest cruelty to yourselves. ”
