Just after activating the constant "electromagnetic communication technique" of the monocle, before he had time to call Gaston on the opposite side, Lucien suddenly sensed the emergence of strong magic waves, and subconsciously cast the magic. He just picked up the Dawn Crystal in his left hand.
The ball became transparent and clear, quickly flew up, and circled above Lucien's head like the sun, while twelve stars as bright as the stars at night appeared around it, orbiting the crystal ball in different trajectories.
Charlotte, who had just recovered from fatigue, reacted half a beat slower than Lucien, and the illusory force field palm condensed in front of her.
Susan, who was not far from Sandra, was completely confused and didn't know what to do. She watched helplessly as a small ball of intertwined light erupted from Sandra's chest, reflecting the light that had penetrated into her body at some point.
The black air came out and was quickly purified.
On the ground in front of Sandra, there were a few crisp sounds, and several pieces of metal fragments turned black.
"That monster is not dead yet! It is still in this castle!" Sandra's voice was slightly sharp, with a hint of panic, "If I hadn't had a good talisman, I would have been controlled by this monster just now!"
The tightly closed neckline of her purple magic robe seemed to be broken by some powerful force. A talisman chain that was so deformed that it was difficult to see its original shape was broken. In the eyes of Lucien and others, it fell to the ground clearly in slow motion.
, making a clear and clear sound.
After two fierce battles, most of his mental energy was consumed, and all the magic he was good at was exposed, but the extremely weird monster was still not dead! This made Sandra, who was experienced in combat, feel a little frightened.
.
The "Maskillen Star" was rotating above his head. Lucien looked around cautiously and shouted twice: "Mr. Gaston! Mr. Gaston!"
The other side of the "Electromagnetic Communication Technique" remained silent, with no response.
Taking this opportunity, Charlotte cast a "secondary psychic connection" to connect the minds of three magicians and a magic apprentice to avoid wasting time talking.
"Let's run away. Let's run away! That monster is too terrifying, we can never kill it!" As a magic apprentice, Susan could no longer hold on. She was trembling and crying.
Lucien has experienced so many dangers and has developed the trait of becoming calmer the more dangerous it is, and he did have a lot of doubts just now, so he was not affected by Susan's fear and Sandra's slight panic. He quickly shared himself
Opinion: "Just now we thought it was a monster summoned by Mr. Bertrand, and we used the brazier as the main medium for the summoning ceremony. Now it seems wrong. Without the medium of the brazier, the monster still exists. And Mr. Bertrand has experienced arcane magic since he was a child.
A magician who has been educated and raised will obviously not try that ridiculous summoning ritual. The summoner must be someone else!"
"Bill? He is the only one alive in the castle. This monster is terrifying and weird. It is impossible not to find him hiding in the secret room." Charlotte's voice was tired and weak.
Sandra subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, I used the charm human to control him and verified the intelligence. Wait, that monster has enough power to help him block part of his memory!"
At the mention of her familiar companion, Susan stopped crying and was completely stunned.
"I just heard Susan say that because he has no arcane talent, Bill has been bullied by other magic apprentices. Children like this must be filled with hateful and violent emotions. When these emotions accumulate to a critical point, they will begin to seek power for revenge.
At this time, Bill, who has little arcane foundation, is very likely to follow the ridiculous summoning ritual, regardless of how ridiculous and unbelievable it is in the eyes of formal magicians and well-educated magic apprentices.
"Lucien analyzed calmly, then turned to look at Susan and asked her through the telepathic connection, "Susan, have you seen Bill watching "Painful Fable"?"
Susan shook her head in confusion at first, and then she was so frightened that she woke up: "Bill, Bill has been watching "Fables of Pain" recently. He said that he wanted to draw strength from pain and study arcana harder!"
"Let's go." Lucien ordered concisely, without saying anything else. If he didn't kill the monster before it was resurrected with the help of Bill and fully regained its strength, he and others would be the ones who would die.
Just now Bill tricked himself and others into coming to the bondage room, obviously to buy more recovery time for the monster!
The three magicians once again ran towards the apprentice hall in the same formation as before, with a distance of about a few meters between each other. Susan mustered up her last strength and followed Sandra with difficulty.
While running, other doubts emerged in Lucien's mind, such as why when he and others opened the bondage room, the monster was indeed condensing from the brazier instead of being resurrected through the medium of Bill, etc. However, the situation was urgent and he could only
Press them down for the time being and deal with the imminent monsters first!
There was no delay like the time spent asking Bill before. This time the monster had obviously not recovered yet, otherwise it would not have just tried to control Sandra with the control technique. At this time, the corridor that turned around was quiet, and there were no pale and transparent arms.
There was no blood-red and disgusting tongue waiting, so Lucien and the others rushed back to the apprentice hall in a few seconds, rushed past the rows of bookshelves they had just knocked down, and returned to the location of the secret room.
On the bronze statue, the two dead eyes were twisting and enlarging. The eyes on the door of the secret room and the nearby wall were trying to stand out. They were all black eyeballs with white pupils, which were extremely strange and terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Lucien and others were slightly relieved. Even the Wall of Evil Eyes had not yet been able to condense, which meant that they did not waste time and did not restore most of the monster's strength like the previous time. At the same time, it was explained that
The monsters inside are at a very weak stage!
This is an excellent opportunity!
Several thoughts were exchanged quickly during the spiritual connection. Lucien pushed his hand, and a crimson fireball that seemed to have the terrifying power compressed inside suddenly flew out and directly hit the door of the secret room.
Before that, the "Gaze Curtain" cast by Charlotte had appeared on the opposite side of the Evil Eye Wall, allowing each eye to see itself clearly through the mirror.
With a crash, the mirror shattered, and the wall of the evil eye collapsed before it was fully condensed, allowing Lucien's fireball to directly hit the door of the secret room.
In the huge explosion, the weak magic defense of the secret room collapsed layer by layer, the stone door was blown to pieces, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Sandra's purple magic wand then lit up. The "mysterious light" made the secret room and its surroundings extremely bright. It absorbed all nearby light, illuminated the diffuse smoke and dust, and revealed Bill who was half kneeling on the ground inside.
.
Bill's eyes wearing black-rimmed glasses glared at Lucien and the others opposite with an expression of extreme hatred and disgust. But a strange and inexplicable smile twisted into his face, and muscles on his body flexed, turning the standard apprentice
The clothes were torn and the skin was torn. The bloody muscles and blood vessels were exposed, and white maggots were crawling around inside. Some even came out of Bill's mouth, nose, corners of his eyes and ears.
"Bill? You!" Originally it was Bill who summoned the monster but had no ability to control it. But seeing this scene, Susan only felt that it was more terrifying than she imagined. The monster was Bill himself?!
A transparent wall appeared in front of Bill, with countless black strange magic runes flowing up and down in it. He laughed unusually happily: "Those bastards who slapped me and always laughed at me died in my hands.
They were so frightened, so desperate, so cowardly, not at all as arrogant and powerful as they were when they stepped on me in the magic competition. They looked strong on the outside, but they were like mice on the inside. See, only what comes from the soul
Strength is the real strength. I gained strength from pain and successfully awakened my soul."
These words seemed to come from everyone's heart, and in just a short moment, Susan and others understood what he meant.
Two white lights flashed on the transparent wall in front of Bill, causing the magic runes to disintegrate. Charlotte and Sandra did not waste time talking to Bill, and directly cast the three-ring force field magic "Dispel Magic".
There is a certain chance of dispelling a magic effect or a defensive field.
Three of the Maskelyne Stars above Lucien's head deviated from their orbit and collided with three others, bursting out with dazzling brilliance. This gave Charlotte and Sandra the blessing of "luck"
, which maximizes the effect of dispelling magic.
"You, this is not power, this is the summoned devil!" Susan forgot that Bill was not connected to her soul, and thoughts of fear and hatred came out.
But Bill seemed to hear her voice and laughed loudly: "That's not the devil, it's the hidden spiritual power within ourselves! What a wonderful taste it is to hate, envy, hatred, and greed!" His lips fell off, revealing
His teeth were white and his eyes gradually turned red.
After the "dispelling magic" white light flashed, the transparent wall in front of Bill quickly collapsed, and he was unable to recover even half of his current strength.
As soon as the transparent force field disappeared, Charlotte and Sandra each activated an item and cast "dispel magic" again while their own magic was in buffer!
First, a layer of black light disappeared on Bill's body together with the effect of Charlotte's dispelling magic, and then clouds of black gas emerged under Sandra's dispelling magic.
Then Lucien's right hand lit up in a burst of lavender light, like a small purple sun. Gold, silver, black, white, purple and other light spots of various colors suddenly appeared around Bill, with Bill as the center.
It began to spin rapidly, like the most terrifying whirlpool, tearing at Bill's body crazily.
Maybe the monster can move with a pure consciousness or spiritual body, but Bill still has a body and is restricted by elements!
Lucien did not wait for the last moment to activate the "Elemental Vortex". As long as the opportunity was right, he would use it without hesitation!
The vortex turned bigger and bigger, and the light spots became brighter and brighter, completely enveloping Bill in it and completely filling the secret room.
Lucien's heart was in suffocating pain, his soul was extremely weak, his spirit was unusually lax, and he had a splitting headache. After repeated fierce battles, he used the "Elemental Vortex" to cross levels, which made him even worse than the last time. He couldn't even open his mouth to speak.
All his abilities were gone, and he could only lean against the bookshelf. At this time, Charlotte moved over, protecting Lucien based on the communication just now through the psychic connection, and at the same time giving him the "Song of Water" magic potion with the hand of the mage.
.
Sandra was focused on guarding against Bill, or rather the monster.
The vortex slowly disappeared, and the entire secret room was affected. The walls were completely damaged and disappeared. There were several large holes in the ground, and the hall below could be clearly seen.
There were black corrosion marks where Bill was, but other than that, there was nothing left.
"Killed that monster?" Sandra asked in disbelief. She subconsciously looked out the window and saw that the fog completely disappeared, revealing the sunset that was about to set in the evening.
"Whether they are killed or not, now that the opportunity has arisen, we will contact Mr. Gaston as soon as possible." After taking the sweet and luscious light blue "Water Song", Lucien felt as if his body had come to life again.
I had strength, but I still felt an abnormal throbbing pain when using my mental power, so I forced myself to hold on and activated the "Electromagnetic Communication Technique".
"Song of Water" is indeed the best recovery potion at the mid-level. It can restore life and spirit at the same time. However, Lucien's backlash symptoms from cross-level use still exist. He can only barely activate items and cannot cast magic at all.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Gaston?"
After a brief silence, Gaston's slightly older voice with a Northland accent sounded from the opposite side: "Lucien, are you in trouble?"
"Well, I met a monster..." Lucien narrated the incident in a long and short tone, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
After listening to this, Gaston was silent for a moment and said: "You guys find a stable room to set up the magic circle and wait. The nearest high-level magician will come to deal with it in twenty minutes."
With the news of backup, everyone felt a lot more at ease. Charlotte supported Lucien, and Sandra took Susan to the energy room in another corridor of the apprentice hall, preparing to wait there.
"Mr. Evans, do you still have questions?" Charlotte saw Lucien frowning slightly.
Lucien nodded: "There are still many things that I don't understand. For example, why did the monster attack Sandra before it recovered? Let us be alert and react? If it hadn't recovered a little, we wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily.
