However, Gavin was an Archmage after all, and had been carrying out various missions for the Adventurers Guild. Amongst all the mages in Doland's library, Gavin was the one with the most combat experience. He only paused for a moment before making the right decision. He raised his magic staff and used a piece of Frost Armor to protect his front while pulling Lin Li beside him. "President Felic, let's retreat first …"
At this time, Gavin had wanted to drag the young President into the tower. After all, the tower was built by the Supreme Council. Even if there were no defenses set up, it would be far better than being surrounded by dozens of bandits at the entrance.
However, before Gavin could finish his sentence, his voice suddenly disappeared …
This was because he suddenly felt a terrifying magical fluctuation in the surroundings.
Without any warning or indication, the originally calm magical elements suddenly became violent for no reason at all. It felt as if a storm had suddenly broken out on a sunny day, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, thunder, and lightning. The surging magical waves were like the howling of the wind and roaring waves, instantly stirring up a magic storm outside the Tower of Dusk!
"What happened?" Gavin was stunned at first, and then seemed to have thought of something as he turned around abruptly …
Then, Gavin's face turned pale with a "swoosh" …
Gavin could clearly see that the young President was less than two meters away from him, holding his magic staff and chanting an obscure spell. The magical wave that seemed like a storm was coming from him. At this moment, Gavin could not believe his eyes. He could not believe that this young President, who looked to be in his twenties, was thin and pale, and always had a gentle smile on his face, could have such powerful magical power …
At this time, Gavin was not the only one who could not believe it. The dozens of bandits surrounding the entrance of the Tower of Dusk could not believe it either. They waved their shining machetes and cursed as they desperately tried to pounce on the young mage. Then, to their horror, they realized that no matter how hard they tried, they could not even take a step forward …
This was because a thick layer of ice had formed on their feet.
The sun had not set in the west, and the brilliant sunset dyed the sky red. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on their bodies, and they could even feel the warmth of it. However, a thick layer of ice had formed outside the entrance of the Tower of Dusk. Not only did it freeze the ground beneath their feet, it also froze their feet. This strange scene made everyone's hair stand on end …
Gavin's face was a little pale …
This was the level-16 Death Frost!
Even Lin Li himself had only started learning this spell two months ago, and had only memorized the incantation so far. He was still in the process of figuring out the structure of the spell. However, this young President Felic was able to release it so easily. Was this really what a young mage in his twenties should have?
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to correct the mistake I made last time …" The young mage still had a polite and gentle smile on his face, but in the eyes of the bandits, this smile was more terrifying than a magical beast baring its fangs and claws.
"What … What are you trying to do?" Bill swallowed hard. Perhaps it was to hide the fear in his heart, or perhaps it was because he remembered Vanskore's instructions, but this bear-like captain finally mustered up the last bit of courage in his life. "I-I-I … I'm warning you, you better not do anything rash. If you kill us, Boss will definitely avenge us!"
"You don't have to worry about what will happen so long in the future …" The young mage's face was brimming with smiles. It was as if he was not facing dozens of ferocious bandits, but neighbors whom he greeted and chatted with every day. But, amidst the idle chatter, a tearing sound made everyone's heart skip a beat.
In an instant, hot blood splattered everywhere. Then, that body that was even thicker than a black bear fell softly to the ground …
It was eerily quiet outside the gate of the Tower of Dusk. Everyone's gaze fell on Bill's corpse. Until now, many of them still could not believe that Bill, who looked stronger than magical beasts, had died just like that …
But everything in front of them was so real that they couldn't help but believe it. The wound on Bill's body wasn't too big; it was just a thin cut on his neck. It looked like a red mark made by a thread, but the blood was like red water that had opened the floodgates. It flowed out along the thin wound, and in just a moment, the crystal clear layer of ice was dyed crimson …
"Oh my God …" Gavin could not help but gasp. Of all the people present, he was probably the only one who knew what had happened just now …
It was a light and thin Wind Blade, and it had slit Bill's throat with just a light touch. The one who had released the Wind Blade was the smiling young President.
Gavin stared at everything in a daze, and felt his scalp go numb.
It was only at this moment that Gavin suddenly realized how ruthless the seemingly gentle and polite young President was.
He did not give anyone a chance to explain or negotiate. He had turned a living person into a corpse with just a gentle wave of his hand. This was a cold-blooded demon. Even though Gavin had killed countless magical beasts and seen countless amounts of blood, he was still scared pale by this young President's cold-bloodedness at this moment.
This kind of person should not be a mage at all. He should be an assassin or a butcher!
At this time, Gavin suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were laughably childish …
He was really blind to think that this young President would be an indecisive and indecisive person. He even thought of taking advantage of his weakness of being young and weak to control the entire Guild of Magic. Now that he thought about it, it was ridiculous. Would such a person be indecisive and indecisive? Luckily, he had only thought about it, and did not reveal his true thoughts. Otherwise, the one lying on the ground now would be him …
It was no wonder that Mr. Basel had repeatedly reminded him not to go against President Felic before he came.
At that time, he had thought that it was because Mr Basel was afraid of offending the Supreme Council, but he did not know that it was for his own safety …
"Gavin, give me a hand. Help me carry Uncle Salatt in." Lin Li's expression did not change after he slit Bill's throat with a Wind Blade. It was as if he had just done something insignificant. He held onto the unconscious Old Salatt while urging the dazed Gavin to come over and help.
"Yes …" Gavin finally snapped out of his daze after Lin Li's urging. He hurriedly reached out to take Old Salatt, and helped him slowly into the tower.
"As for you guys …" After handing Old Salatt over to Gavin, Lin Li turned around and smiled at the bandits who were still in shock.
The scene of Bill's death was still fresh in their minds. Being stared at by this cold-blooded pervert, no matter how courageous the bandits were, they could not withstand the pressure that drove them crazy.
"Spare us, Mr Mage …"
"Yes, yes, spare us, Mr Mage, we were forced to do this …"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's that bastard who forced us to do this. Mr Mage, just treat it as a fart, and let us go …"
…
All of a sudden, there were sounds of begging, and the ferocious bandits fell to their knees. In fact, if not for the layer of ice that froze their feet and prevented them from moving, they would have rushed forward and hugged Lin Li's thighs while crying their hearts out.
"I really want to let you guys go …" Lin Li slowly raised the magic staff in his hand under the despairing gazes of the bandits. "But unfortunately, I only need one messenger …"
Then, the Dragon's Eye at the tip of the magic staff lit up …
"Oh my God …" Gavin had just settled Old Salatt down, and was about to ask President Felic if he needed help when he saw this hair-raising scene.
The Dragon's Eye at the tip of the magic staff shone brightly, and the magical wave that made people shiver once again filled the air. A series of cracking sounds could be heard as the solidified ice suddenly came to life. It was as if it had a life of its own, and was desperately spreading towards the bandits from their feet to their thighs, and then from their thighs to their chests before finally wrapping them up tightly. In just a moment, there were dozens of lifelike ice sculptures outside the gate of the Tower of Dusk …
Gavin's eyes were filled with fear as he covered his mouth with his hands, afraid that he would make a sound. Even in his most terrifying dreams, Gavin had never seen such a horrifying scene. At this moment, Gavin even felt a little resentful towards Mr Basel whom he had always respected. Why, why did he introduce him here? Did Mr Basel not know that this fella was a butcher who killed people like scything flax?
Gavin could not believe what would happen to him if he offended this fella one day. The magical power that he had always been proud of could not protect him at all. In front of this young President who could control the Death Frost at will, his little magical power was as weak as a child's.
