"Don't you want to try it? Well, in fact, it is a cruel thing to take life away from life, and my companions have never been very approves. The Psychic Warlock didn't seem to notice his opponent's reaction at all, and just said 'sincerely', "So, in this case, if you answer a few questions from me, I'd be willing to say goodbye to you." ”

The eyes of the four mages turned in unison.

Under the gaze of his companions, the high-ranking mage, who was the leader, could only smile helplessly and replied, "I'm sorry. Something inside our guild. Even if I were willing to answer, you know I can't. ”

"yes, I just tried. ”

There was an awkward silence on the battlefield again, but the silence didn't last long, and the man waved his hand: "Forget it, you guys can go back, and then this matter will end here." ”

What the?

It's as simple as that?

The high-ranking mage could barely control his words, but his eyes swept over the faintly visible figures on the ground, and he seemed to understand something—the only ones who could go back were his own 'few' mages. And that shaman, his warriors, and the vampire 'duke', were doomed to be unable to return.

At the far end of the line of sight, the scattered warriors and shamans had stopped fleeing and on guard, and began to gather their ranks, forming a simple array around the vampire who had been slumping to the ground. Keeping his guard on his feet, even the shaman who had just had his stomach cut open had already healed himself and joined in.

They're certainly not protecting......

The high-level mage's gaze moved slightly, but he felt that a large amount of cold sweat was secreting from his body again. Almost soaked his body inside and out—the silent movements of the warriors, the slightly stiff expressions, the wide, blank eyes. are enough to say about their status. They have been completely mentally manipulated and turned into a horde of pathetic puppets!

Talking to himself is actually a trap, and he has already accused those people in this short time!

But...... Is this possible?

Although these barbarian warriors and shamans are scattered and frightened, their mental weakness is well suited to the invasion of enchantment. But in such a short period of time, in such a huge space. Controlling more than a hundred people at the same time - this is completely beyond the boundaries of the 'charming' spell, even a spell enhanced by a ring spell is unlikely to cause such a result!

And the person in front of him was silent. It was done in a split second!

What the hell is this ability?

The warriors had broken up after the battle, but even the farthest escaped, the few who had reached a thousand feet away, had already driven back into the ranks......! O Goddess of Magic. It's not just the scope. That's more than most spells can reach!

No, there's no point in thinking about that, right?

The mages looked at each other, and only then did they seem to understand what kind of feeling it was like to be 'on the verge of amnesty'...... After their eyes met, they had no interest in thinking about anything more, and they all recited a spell and turned into scattered shadows in the sky.

The halo of light of the teleportation swirled around the body, flickering. It faded in an instant...... But the moment the surrounding scenery finally stabilized again, the High Mage couldn't help but scream-

Intense throbbing pain came from every muscle. It was as if a big hand had grabbed him and kneaded him vigorously hundreds of times, pinching the connections of the bones in his whole body! The pain made his eyes blacken, and he arched up like a shrimp and opened his mouth wide...... It wasn't until I don't know how long it took for the darkness in front of him to finally dissipate, allowing him to slowly observe his surroundings.

In the barren darkness of the surrounding night, a hazy magical light could be seen in the distance, which seemed to be their intended teleportation point.

But...... How many of your subordinates are around?

"Don't look at it, they're all dead. ”

The indifferent voice ringing in his ears made him look back blankly, looking at the approaching white robe, and after half a sound, he finally reacted to bow slightly—and then understood the meaning of the other party's words.

All dead?

This direct and cold judgment is like a piece of ice covering the whole body...... It made the mage's mind blank for a while, and he lost his soul.

"If you underestimate him, you will always end up with this fate. ”

The man in the white robe glanced at his crumbling figure and let out a low sneer: "When you left, didn't you forget to think about why he suddenly let you go so generously? Don't you remember at all that interfering with teleportation is the power that users of psychic abilities are best at? If it weren't for the special favor you received from the Master, you don't know where you were buried in the stone now!"

"You...... Know who he is?"

The mage was stunned, but finally understood something, and then, his thoughts were immediately swayed by the fluctuating emotions in his heart—since he knew who that Edward was, he naturally knew how terrible he was. But what good could this man do by sending more soldiers to support the battle than to stir up the nerves of that enemy and make him more likely to kill everyone?

"If you have a grudge in your heart, you might as well say it directly. ”

The leader shook his head: "However, if I don't give such an order, he will definitely not let you go, let alone let me go, because he will know that I have the means to completely monitor the movements of everyone in the entire space, and have already learned about his existence, he will know that I am much stronger than you, and such a person, he will not stay, I took advantage of you in order not to get into trouble, I will not deny this kind of thing." You can hold a grudge against me, that's normal. ”

The High Mage opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.

Yes, this man used all of them as test subjects to face that horrible fellow, but so what? he had the power and the ability to use his own men as weapons under his men. Weapons that are sharp enough will be cherished, but if they are not sharp enough to defeat an enemy, it is also necessary to be abandoned to cover an escape.

Who makes his own strength weak. Can only be used as a tool?

"Actually, I didn't think he would let you go. Especially you ......"

After a pause, he sighed, a little like saying to himself: "But I didn't expect him to be completely unmoved...... Or did I not realize it? Or did I not want to repeat the same mistake again? But either way, it was a surprise to me. ”

"Calculate, calculate...... Alas......"

Edward looked up slightly. His gaze fell into the distance, in a black shadow. The shadow rolled and swirled in his silvery pupils, but only for a moment

He sighed. Then turn back.

"Did those mages just now carry something special?"

"You know?"

"Because if it were an ordinary enemy, you wouldn't have said that much to them. Elena nodded, "It's a familiar feeling, but ...... Not my memory......"

Oh, yes. That is, of course, Ariel's memory. Ariel's judgment, because the aura revealed by the leading mage, although only a trace of insignificant, was familiar to Edward...... It's an empty feeling that you can't feel.

"It's not surprising if it's just felt...... But now that it's all in the loop, it's a lot more troublesome. Edward shook his head, then changed the subject, "How are they?"

"It's no big deal, for now. Elena hesitated in her answer: "Her Royal Highness the princess is just over-depleted in mental power. She used too many spells and fainted for a while...... But there was a special toxin in the little princess's body. I can't purify it for the time being. ”

A special toxin?

"It can't be a vampire thing, right?"

Edward frowned, and then as expected, he saw the paladin nodding: "This filthy and depraved thing hides their power in the blood of humans, and can use human blood to replenish themselves, although a small amount of magic can destroy its main body, but it will also allow it to circulate in the body, and gradually spread again with the help of blood." I've learned how to get rid of it, but it's rare to encounter injuries inflicted by such powerful vampires, and I'm not sure I'll be able to completely purify them. ”

"Even Ariel can't solve it?"

"The power of Ariel...... I should be able to pull out this disgusting thing, but I've borrowed a lot of her power from the battle just now. I know she's in a pretty bad shape right now, and she's just barely holding on. ”

"Well, it's not a matter of a day or two that she likes to be strong...... Don't borrow her power for a while...... Ah, don't worry too much, I'll find a way to separate you soon. ”

"Edward, what kind of organization is that Return of All Things......? Does it have anything to do with your thing?"

The psychic mancer's brow furrowed again.

He didn't like to tell anyone about everything, especially the things that couldn't be solved by saying it—the organization of the Return of All Things was not only deeply related to that Thomas Edison, but also inferred from the fact that Archmage Marilyn was also one of its members, their power was probably not small...... In particular, they also have considerable ambitions for the staff of royal power, although the main body of the royal power is likely to have died with Mysra, but after all, the container of this ancient evil thing is a fusion of ancient demons, golden elves and even the power of the mages of the ancient magic kingdom is constantly transformed, and the artifact cast from the corpses of two gods, as long as there is a little fragment, it can grow by absorbing divine power, which is extremely difficult to eradicate,

If there is no one to manage it, it may take hundreds of years for this thing to make a comeback, but what if there is a powerful organization that knows the secrets?

How many things have they done in the year of their absence?

But so what?

"It's a long story, but I'm not going to let them gather that thing again anyway. There may be many benefits to having a lot of people, but it is a rabble...... I've always had some experience dealing with them. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "Well, it seems that we need to meet the 'vampire with such power' a little bit." ”

On one side of the former battlefield, more than 100 people formed a tight and standard circle. Shields, spears, axes, and bows and arrows each form four rings from the inside out. On the outermost layer, there are more than 20 shamans on full alert, from top to bottom, without revealing half of the gap. It seems a little funny to surround just one enemy in such a formation...... But these fighters executed it seriously enough, with condensed expressions and meticulous expressions, as if they were completing it. It is the responsibility of protecting their families.

In the innermost thirty-foot clearing, the vampire lady was half-leaning against a rock, clutching the swaddling clothes in her hand. A pair of red eyes were bloodshot, nervously staring at everyone around him.

And in her gaze, the crowd parted a gap, allowing the people behind them to come up. Miss Vampire let out a hysterical scream.

"You...... Don't come here! I'm going to bite him to death...... No, I can let them die with just the slightest move! I've planted the most terrible curse of the Bloods on them!Kuku...... I'm not kidding, you know I'm amazing!"

The pink eyes reflected the man's somewhat rambling gait, as well as the damn silver hair, and the silver eyes...... Well, she'd remembered who this person really was, not just the news she had gotten in the Order—and the last brief encounter...... That maddening failure. After guiding her, a series of actions were extremely unsmooth!

It's a pity that screaming is clearly pointless. It just made that hateful human smile that hateful, funny, and terrifying smile on her.

Although the burning flame in her stomach has disappeared, instead, an incomparably powerful force has pressed down all the joints of her body, making her unable to even bend her little finger, and the surrounding space is covered with a gloomy energy, as flexible as gel, suppressing the spatial teleportation spells, so although this 'duke' keeps struggling, it seems that he can't do any decent resistance except for screaming loudly.

"The dignified vampire screams like a little girl...... Okay, it's a bit like that, but you've lived for hundreds of years, right?"

The Psychic Warlock spoke, slowly pacing to the 'powerful vampire', looking at her condescendingly, and the swaddling cloth in her hand: "This kind of cry is heard by others, and they think that these warriors are trying to do something against you, although you want to have no chest or no ass, but the shout is quite like a woman, and this is not good for the heroic image of these warriors."

"Bastard! Duke Ben wants to have boobs and ass to ass! Ah, no! You nasty rat who deserves to be drowned in a dung pit, a disgusting piece of meat that stinks so bad that maggots can't eat it! You're a bastard who wants to have no breasts and no ass and shouts like a woman, give back Ben's stuff, you damn thief! You stole my floating city!"

The ferocious look on Miss Vampire's face was clearly of little power to humans, although the pair of white canine teeth did look quite pointy. The swaddling clothes in her hands seemed to be tightly wrapped, and the boy seemed to sleep soundly...... His breath was steady, and his soul was stable, not like he was hurt in any way, but it was clearly affected by some kind of force.

Probably in order not to drag down the battle, he directly cast the sleep technique? This is really good enough to it, but fortunately magic is not a drug, and there are not many side effects.

sighed in his heart, but he didn't forget to put a little psychological pressure on a certain young lady: "It seems that we have to go to court with each other, well, a high-level vampire like you doesn't seem to be very afraid of the sun, so there should be no problem in a daytime lawsuit, right?"

"Don't try to threaten me! Besides, you mean bastard who tried to torture me with the sun, you'd be miscalculated! I'm not going to cry my dad and mother just because I get a little sun. Miss Vampire screamed, but her pink eyes were also rolling: "Kukukuku...... Even if Prince Ben will be in pain, do you think that this paladin companion of yours will sit idly by while you torture the hostages? Even if she knew that you were going to torture me, she would have to stop it, wouldn't she?"

"Dark and fallen undead creatures are hopeless, there is no second way except purification, and besides, you are not human at all, so how can you be a hostage?"

But why do you think she's shouting that? She's asking for death...... But we can't let her die, the vampire's power is quite tenacious, what are we going to do if she dies and the toxins don't go away?

"I'm afraid she still has a lot of ways to recover, I've heard that vampires don't die completely even if they are turned to ashes by the sun, as long as a piece of ash returns to the coffin, they can be resurrected,"

"Let me go, I'll lift the blood curse from their bodies, or ......"

"What if you don't lift it, or if it doesn't clean it, just let you go, and we'll find you later, won't we?"

"Since your psychic barrier can't resist my power, then why should I release you?"

"How can psychic abilities work against vampires!"

There's no point in yelling, that horrible creature psychic ability - that's what works on her!

"How's the garlic?"

"Huh? Ku...... You still believe that kind of civilian rumors? That kind of thing would never be ...... to Miss Benduchess Uhh

That's the concentrated taste of allicin, and probably no one in this world can feel that way (to be continued......
