The masked man found himself in a difficult position. He didn't know if the magic formation outside had been breached and how long it would take for Xavier to arrive.
Jessica's constant harassment was giving him a headache. If he had known earlier, he would've spent some time on the shore to deal with this trouble. Now that he was in the water, he couldn't use the spells he was most proficient in, and he couldn't do anything to the female officer.
In addition, he had been entangled here for so long that he could barely see the figure in the bubble. The masked man was anxious. He actually had one last trump card, but he didn't want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. The power of that thing was too great, and he couldn't completely control it. Attracting Xavier was one thing, but if he accidentally hurt Jessica, the result was not something he wanted to see.
Although the masked man was furious, he still maintained the most basic of rationality. They were causing trouble in Siames. Headmaster Foreman might choose to turn a blind eye to their actions out of consideration for their influence, but that was under the premise that they didn't harm anyone else.
Once any of them crossed the line, Foreman would quickly change his attitude toward them. At best, he would chase them out of Siames, and at worst, he would submit them to the Sorcerer's Association for judgment.
Therefore, although the masked man was vexed, he could only obediently play the bamboo hoop game with Jessica. From time to time, he would look back at Rob and sadly discover that the guy seemed to be moving further away from him. But not long ago, when he looked back, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of his eye.
That thing's swimming posture was very strange, but its speed was unbelievably fast. When the masked man turned back to look, he didn't see anything.
What the hell is that?! The line of sight at the bottom of the lake wasn't good. The masked man tried his best to widen his eyes, but he still couldn't find anything. However, a hint of alarm rose in his heart. Unlike Royce, his observation skills had always been his forte. He didn't believe that the thing that flashed by just now was because his eyes were playing tricks on him. On the contrary, it meant that the shadow's swimming trajectory was carefully calculated and just happened to be out of his field of vision. If he hadn't suddenly turned back, he wouldn't have seen it.
The masked man felt that something was wrong and hurriedly gestured to the nearby female officer, indicating for both sides to pause and enter the intermission phase. However, Jessica didn't seem to have any intention of paying attention to him and continued to cast Entanglement. The female officer had already made up her mind to deal with the myriad of changes by staying the same. She didn't care what that guy wanted to do. She only had one thing in mind, and that was to firmly entangle him until Teacher Xavier arrived.
The masked man was a little anxious because the sense of danger in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. No matter what that thing was, it definitely didn't have any good intentions. But no matter how he gestured, the crazy woman in front of him refused to let him go. The masked man was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Danger was clearly approaching, but he didn't even have the time to put a magic shield on himself. Even if he wanted to call for help, it was too late. The figure in front of him was already so blurry that he couldn't see it anymore.
Damn it, I'm really going to die this time!
When the figure in front of him completely disappeared from the bubble, the alarm in the masked man's heart also rose to the extreme!
This time, the black figure no longer hid itself. It fiercely jumped out from the water grass not far away and pounced at Jessica at an incredible speed. At this time, the female officer didn't even realize that danger was coming, and she was still persistently casting Entanglement.
The masked man couldn't just watch her die, but the speed of the black figure was too fast, and the distance between it and Jessica was too close. In such a short time, he couldn't cast any magic at all. In fact, it was difficult for him to even follow the movement of the thing with his eyes.
At this time, he could only take a gamble! The masked man's mind was as calm as ever. He ignored the Entanglement that the female officer cast on him and used this precious time to reach into his pocket and grab the flint. Without hesitation, he threw it in Jessica's direction. The moment the flint left his fingertips, the masked man's body suddenly tensed up. It was Jessica's Entanglement that was working, and he was firmly tied up.
The female officer was stunned, as if she didn't expect that she would succeed. Just a second ago, the two of them were still fighting. She couldn't understand why the masked man would suddenly surrender. Then, she saw the flint thrown by the masked man flash a red light.
The next moment, the surrounding lake water started to boil, and an extremely ferocious fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of her!
Jessica's pupils shrank. She recognized that it was the famous level-4 fire attack magic — Fire Dragon Cannon! Although the power of the fire magic was reduced in the lake water, it was still not something that a level-2 magician like her could defend against. Moreover, the fire dragon was already in front of her in the blink of an eye. The female officer couldn't cast any defensive magic in time and could only watch as the fire dragon swallowed her whole.
Jessica's eyes revealed a trace of despair and fear. She didn't think that she would die here. The masked man didn't look like a vicious person. Even though she was clearly stalling for time and the man was so anxious, he just patiently continued to play a defensive game with her. The female officer didn't expect that the man would suddenly attack at the last moment, nor did she expect that the flint was such a powerful magic device.
However, just when she thought that she was going to die, the fire dragon brushed past her. While she was still in a daze, she heard a shrill scream coming from behind her.
She turned her head, and the scene in front of her made her hair stand on end. A terrifying monster with the face of a baby was hit by the fire dragon less than half a step away from her. The monster was in so much pain that it rolled a few times in the water. It glared at the masked man, who was tied up like a dead fish by the Entanglement spell, with a venomous gaze.
However, the monster seemed to have a certain degree of intelligence. After hesitating for a moment, it turned its attention back to the female officer. It seemed to know that the masked man had lost the ability to move. As long as it killed the woman in front of it, the two of them would become its meal.
Jessica's scalp went numb. At this moment, she understood that the masked man's strange behavior was to save her. However, the strength of the monster was completely beyond the masked man's imagination. The fire dragon cannon hit it directly, but it only suffered a light injury. It didn't affect its movement at all.
