Chapter 290 - 0290: Crushing Defeat
“My name is Silver Eye… What a pity. To think that a young wizard with such a bright future would need to be killed by my own hands!”
The old wizard sighed, and a silver light abruptly burst from his pupils.
In his eyes, Su Lu seemed to see his reflection being twisted, morphed, and transformed into a circular ring.
Despite being an illusion, his body gradually became rigid, as if even his blood had ceased to flow.
“Illusion Technique?”
The thought crossed his mind as he quickly struggled free with a flash of inspiration.
‘Pupu’!
Countless tiny silver needles emerged from the surrounding air, plunging into his previous position.
“Controlling metal? Interesting!”
From the dense forest nearby, Su Lu’s figure appeared, longsword in hand and a playful look on his face. “But it’s not enough to deal with me!”
“Witchcraft – Thousand-Needles Death Curse!”
The Silver Eye Wizard quickly chanted the spell, liquid metal transmuted from the silver needles on the ground, rapidly creeping toward Su Lu’s location.
‘Pupu’!
Fingers-thick silver needles took shape, flying toward him.
“Such power… even a second-tier Bronze Knight can hardly withstand it, a Silver Knight is required to remain unscathed!”
Two light yellow Trick Cards emerged in Su Lu’s hand – “Fireball Technique!”
With a wave of his right hand, two balls of orange flame emerged, one of them exploded amidst the cluster of needles, and the other shot towards the old man’s mount at a blazing speed.
“Damn, scatter quickly!”
“Protect the wizard!” ordered Cyclops Ali urgently.
But it was too late.
The next moment, a ball of flame exploded before his eyes.
‘Boom’!
The shocking heat wave and blast swept through, knocking Ali off his horse.
Barely managing to get up, he saw the old wizard’s horse already torn into pieces, and several knights nearby were also thrown off their horses, their fate unknown.
Not only that, but the terror of the explosion and the noise scared the herd of horses, causing a majority of the horses to panic and scatter, thoroughly muddling the originally scattered formation.
‘Is this… the power of a wizard?’
Ali watched this scene, clenching his fists: ‘It truly is from the devil, it shouldn’t exist in this world…’
This was a natural antipathy from a miserable warrior toward the high, rich and handsome Dharma Master!
Of course, you could also say that it was consciousness dictated by social class.
After all, in the human world, only knights and wizards possess transcendent power, and there are limited superior positions. Should anyone wish to ascend, they must fight for it!
Knights are comparatively ‘pro-people’ (in practice, close to the nobility) hence garnering substantial support.
Simultaneously, as members of the extraordinary class, knights are also striving to suppress the status of wizards, with a lot of defamatory rumors originating from them.
After all, as long as the wizards are eliminated, they will be the only transcendent humans left!
“You… are not a novice wizard!”
The Silver Eye Wizard was unhurt in the explosion, and a suit of silver armor appeared on him, flowing like mercury and reflecting various colors.
Simultaneously, he looked at Su Lu, his face filled with shock.
The wizard system of this world is simple, starting from the novice to intermediate, advanced, and then the legendary ‘Witch King’!
He originally thought that Su Lu was just a novice wizard who used witchcraft in combination with his knight profession to kill Andrew, the Bronze Knight.
But now it seemed that the other party’s mastery of witchcraft exceeded his expectations.
“Why on this earth… are there so many people courting death?”
With a sigh, Su Lu suddenly charged forward.
“Silver Bondage!”
The Silver Eye Wizard boomed, mercury flying off from his body, forming a whip-like substance, like living ropes, binding Su Lu.
But the next moment, Su Lu, who had been bound, smiled and turned into a phantom and disappeared.
“Ah!”
In the horror of the Silver Eye Wizard, his brow split open, revealing a silver vertical pupil, surveying the surroundings.
He abruptly turned around and saw the real Su Lu.
The other person was holding a dagger, quickly closing in.
“Go!”
A silver spike emerged from the Silver Eye Wizard’s hand, shooting across the air.
But Su Lu, on a step, astonishingly changed direction quickly in mid-air, dodging the piercing silver spike, and appearing in front of the Silver Eye Wizard, thrusting out his Demon Hunting Dagger.
Thunk!
The Silver Eye elder Wizard stared blankly at his shoulder.
There, the mercury armor that originally could defend against the slashing of a knight had been broken through without any resistance, blood spraying, mixed with intense pain.
The Demon Hunting Dagger was extremely sharp, and had a Demon Breaking effect!
He screamed and fell to the ground, while his original mercury armor showed spikes, like a porcupine.
“Spirit oppression!”
Su Lu coldly snorted, a strong oppression came down, the Silver Eye elder felt as though his consciousness was being heavily hammered, immediately white eyed and swooned, his mercury armor automatically collapsed.
“A high-level… high-level Wizard!”
Before falling into darkness, the old man is roaring a voice in his heart, unspeakable regret.
Splash!
A splash of clear water landed, the Silver Eye Wizard came around.
He vaguely lifted his head, found himself in a forest, the sky was already pitch black, he was tied to a tree trunk, and next to him was Cyclops Ali.
In front of him was a bonfire, the young wizard from the daytime was studying a very familiar notebook, and around him were three wandering knights cooking food.
‘So… I have lost and become a prisoner!’
The Silver Eye Wizard bitterly smiled in his heart, and after knowing Su Lu’s rank, he didn’t dare to make any big moves.
The other person was suspected to be a high-level wizard, a mysterious power stronger than the Silver Knight!
Only the legendary Golden Knight could suppress him.
‘How did such a master become a wanted criminal? The actions of the Wolf Fort Duke this time are somewhat irrational…’
A feeling called regret continuously emerged in his mind.
“We’re in trouble…”
And the other three wandering knights seemed to be about the same.
Ruff, who was adding firewood to the bonfire, glanced at Su Lu, who seemed to be engrossed in the book, and whispered to his two companions: “Those cavalries escaped today, will we be wanted?”
“Even if we are, we’re not afraid! After all, they do not know our names, just casually hide in the south, never coming to the North Territory in this life…”
Ham was full of confidence in this, apparently also knowing the tragic traffic and information transmission conditions of this era, considering the difficulty of cross-border pursuit.
“We can only do this!” Sturdy Yoen nodded: “And… I am also very curious about the mysterious wizard sir.”
At this time, Su Lu finally finished reading the witchcraft notes confiscated from Silver Eye, feeling greatly benefited.
After all, the latter was a local, and a local who ascended to the second-rank occupational person during the Dawn of the Gods, some of his ideas and thoughts were very interesting.
“Have you two woken up?”
Su Lu glanced at Silver Eye and Ali, signaling for Ham to untie Silver Eye.
“Darran School, Silver Eye Dom pays tribute to you, honourable high-level wizard!”
Silver Eye, as expected, made no moves, but instead paid Su Lu a very formal tribute.
