Ivan hid in the corner of the house, a small storage room, where a row of brooms burned silently.

The air was filled with the smell of burning, and it had been hiding here...... It's absolutely impossible. Alas, why didn't you think of it? I should have thought of it from the beginning, the special magic magic weapon that Ballan would definitely have brought with him.

is the ...... of the Inquisitor Vermilion badge.

The Inquisitor's Emblem has its own unique function, designed to make it easier to suppress other mages, and is able to interfere with the enemy's use of mages within a certain range. Ivan had only a little knowledge and had not thought to study it carefully, and later, before returning to the kingdom of Phadland, Asa ...... I told him a little bit about the Wizard Alliance's badge and the runes on it.

If it's valid within a certain range, just leave it, right?

However, what is the effective range of Barran's coat of arms, and too far away is also not good for Ivan. At this time, he was at least thirty meters away from Balran, but the foggy sense of blockage in his mind did not diminish in the slightest.

Moreover, even if he could escape, once he lost his target, Ballan might turn to Christina again, and the servants of the Lorraine Pavilion were also in the garden, so maybe they would be harmed.

Now, I can't leave yet.

A black shadow suddenly burst out of the corner of the flickering firelight, and was instantly pierced by a straight red line, and the burning fragments flew in the heat wave. It was a broom wrapped in the servant's spare clothes. In the midst of flying sparks, Ivan rushed out of the storage room, glanced at Balran's position, and then turned and ran wildly in the direction of the corridor extension. The structure of the Lorraine Pavilion is quite complex, but from another point of view, it is the same as the Rosanti Castle of the Feather Clan, and there are some surprising paths to be found around it.

The moment he sensed the gathering of magic behind him, Ivan quickly flashed into a seemingly decorative corner. Sure enough, there is also a passage behind the corner that connects to another corridor.

Christina didn't think of this as a secret base, did she, and who designed the house...... Ah, forget it, let's make sure he and Christina are both safe and sound. Ivan raised his hand, unaware of the thick wall. Will the role of the Inquisitor Emblem be weakened, he thought about it for a moment and gave up, he had to take Balran's magic perception ability into account.

That corridor could no longer withstand the impact of the fire. Ivan stared at the narrow entrance of the aisle, the shadows glowing a strange fiery red, he closed his eyes slightly, and the air burst with flames with a non-stop crackling sound.

The badge is also a kind of magic magic weapon, and if you look closely, you will definitely be able to find the source of the magic power.

As long as you find the source of the magic, you can master it. Balran's action.

Barran felt like he was going crazy.

The man was gone again! At the end of the gloomy arcing corridor, Ballan had no idea of the enemy's presence! Large drops of sweat broke out of his forehead, and there seemed to be some reason he didn't want to admit besides the heat here.

It's been a long time since he's fought directly with an enemy, and as a high Inquisitor, he should have just given orders, but there don't seem to be any men here who will obey his orders.

He had a very tricky problem.

Ballan raised the cannon to his side, looking around as he walked towards where Ivan had vanished. Because all the magic lamps in the hallway exploded. Only the light from the high hall on the roof could illuminate the path beneath his feet, and beyond that it was dark.

The secret base of the Outlaw Magus should not be underestimated. Since there is a secret passage, there must be other cats. Balran's leather shoes stomped on the cracked hallway, the gravel at the edge of the hallway rolling down, bouncing on the polished first-floor hall floor with a crisp snapping sound. I saw him run to this place just now, the curved railing was broken in half, and in front of him was a small storage room. The broom and clothes inside were still burning.

Further on...... There weren't even windows, just the light of the fire.

How could the enemy be so calm? Not even making a sound. There is no doubt that Flotica knows how to train her men. Barran held his breath and raised his left hand to wipe the sweat from his face.

It was like a stove, and it was too hot at the door of the pantry. The scarlet badge in the palm of his hand flickered. The Inquisitor's badge is just a good one, and as long as there's a badge, those guys don't want to beat him.

There is the breath of the magic of the source!

Ballan immediately turned around, only to see a bright light blue like a falcon passing in front of his eyes, the cold air hit, Ballan raised his hand cannon is a random shelling, boom, the walls shook, and the dust on the ceiling above his head fell. He took a few steps back, and before he could figure out the situation, his eyes quickly turned into a sea of distorted fire. In short, the person who attacked him was dead, Barlan gritted his teeth and thought to himself, at such a close distance, as long as he couldn't use the magic magic weapon normally-

No, the magic is-

Ballan hurriedly raised his left hand, only to realize that his fingers were moving unnaturally. Is it because of the short period of low temperature? No, it's not the fingers that matter......

The badge is gone!

...... Sure enough, this corridor could no longer withstand Barran's attack, and the sound of the ceiling cracking sounded shocking.

Ivan slumped down the other end of the narrow aisle, the force of the wave pushing him violently. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and the light curtain condensed with ice blocked the temperature of the flames for him, and at the last moment, the interference of the magic finally disappeared.

He only had one chance. He did it.

No matter how much you concentrate, with the interference of the Vermilion Badge, the magic power still can't be enhanced. That being the case, try to concentrate your magic on one point. Ivan chose to use the magic of the ice attribute because even if he hurt Ballan, Ballan might not be able to lose the badge, not to mention that he might not be able to hurt Ballan just right.

The time it took for Balland to get to this position, the direction in which the light source was located, all factors had to be taken into account. Ivan sensed the origin magic of the Vermilion Badge, which revealed him when Balran was not using the hand cannon. Now that the badge had been blown away in the explosion just now, it seemed that Ballan hadn't picked it up yet.

"Who are you, who are you?" Barran's hoarse scream rang out from across the smoke. Ivan jerked off the ground, hurting everywhere he was. Even though it was still timely, some of the heat still passed through his barrier, and even his throat felt like it was on fire. Damn! Ballan, that guy is going to use his hand cannon again, the house is going to collapse!

The fiery magic regathered.

Like the dawn of dawn piercing through the darkness, Ivan pressed almost all his strength on the shield of light condensed in his hands. He faced the black-red artillery fire, and with a roar, the corridor burst into dazzling golden red. The noise was endless, no different from an earthquake, and the sculptures, vases, and portraits of the Luolian Pavilion fell down in a ping pong manner, and bookcases and wardrobes were toppled one after another.

Bang!

Even the large chandelier in the hall fell.

Through the transparent light curtain, Ivan stared at Balran's face, and Balran's trembling right hand hand cannon was still shining. The bulging eyes widened, but the corners of his mouth pulled into a hideous smile like a monster.

"Laxis Flotica, that woman, that woman taught you...... What?"

“...... It has nothing to do with her. I don't know what's going on, Ivan suddenly realized that he had calmed down and his mind became extraordinarily clear.

"If you're referring to your badge, the one who taught me is, Asa Hernos. (To be continued......)
