Come to think of it, this was the first time Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, had killed someone.
Before this, he had only killed a few magical beasts and monsters. Some of them were intelligent creatures, but they weren't of the same kind, so he didn't feel as strongly about it.
Until today, Beck was probably the first human to die in his hands. Watching the Elven Archer's head roll so far away while his mouth was still trying to call for help, it wasn't a pleasant experience.
If it weren't for Maria, Rob would have vomited on the ground.
The female assassin in black wasn't any better, but she was more shocked. She wasn't a country bumpkin who didn't know anything. In her team, Squadron Leader Raúl was an out-and-out Magician. She had long experienced the power of magic.
However, it was precisely because she had seen the power of Magicians that the wind blade left an indelible impression on her.
Without any prior preparation or special aiming, Rob's entire process of casting the spell seemed incomparably casual, but it was unbelievably fast.
Originally, she thought that she would be safe after putting some distance between them, but recalling the scene just now, Maria had to admit that even if she was prepared, she had less than a 30% chance of dodging that wind blade.
Fortunately, the little follower had already used his final trump card. The ring on his hand dimmed after fulfilling all its duties.
Maria heaved a sigh of relief. Is everything finally over?
At this moment, her heart wasn't calm. After witnessing the scene just now, she couldn't help but have a lot of doubts. For example, what was with that wind blade just now? How did Rob control the magic device that clearly belonged to Edward so easily?
However, these questions weren't important anymore.
Because the little follower had used up all his cards, once his magic device was destroyed, he would no longer have any means to threaten Maria.
So, the final victory still belonged to the female assassin.
Maria had finally regained the feeling that she had everything under control.
She walked in front of the young man and looked down at him.
A bright smile blossomed on the beautiful face of the female assassin once more. "Finally, no one will disturb us this time."
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magister, was a little curious. "Aren't you sad that another comrade just died?"
Maria smiled nonchalantly. "Those people were recruited by Raúl on the spot. I've never cared about them. If they're dead, then so be it. At least we don't have to do it ourselves when it comes to splitting the money."
"Oh? Have you and Raúl known each other for a long time? Do you always do this kind of thing? "
"Yeah, the Adventurers Guild in many places has a bounty on us, but Ryan is still our first target." The female assassin did not try to hide anything. In her eyes, the young man was already a dead man.
Rob sighed. "It turns out that people can really get used to taking other people's lives."
Archmage was a little disappointed. He had only read about such things in books. Maria was the first person he met who killed people for fun.
"Seriously, can't you people respect the law a little?"
"The strong preys on the weak. This is the eternal rule of this world. The law is just a way for the weak to deceive themselves."
Maria widened her beautiful eyes and laughed. "Wait, you're not going to lecture me, are you? Or are you trying to awaken my conscience so that I will spare your life? If that's the case, then your thinking is too childish. A person like me will not be swayed by a few words. "
"No, no, you seem to have misunderstood something." Despite being in a desperate situation, Archmage's expression was still relaxed. At that moment, the female assassin even saw a hint of pity in the young man's eyes.
Maria was startled. She did not know where this baffling pity came from.
However, her instincts told her that the young man was exuding a dangerous aura. She could not help but take half a step back.
"The reason why I asked this is because I don't like to kill people. To be honest, I have a lot of messy titles in the past. One of them seems to be the Guardian of the Human World. Tsk tsk, with such a high title, it's inevitable that I feel a little reluctant to kill people of my own kind. As expected, I feel much better after confirming it. " As the Great Magician spoke, he raised his right hand, and the dim ring on his finger once again burst into a dazzling light.
How is this possible?!
Maria's expression changed drastically. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. That ring should have reached its maximum number of uses. Why wasn't it ruined? Why could it still be used?
This must be a lie! She thought that her prey had lost the ability to resist, which was why she walked up to him. The two of them were less than three steps apart.
At such a close distance, it was impossible for her to dodge it no matter how good her movement skills were.
This was the first time Maria felt the taste of despair. She watched as the wind blade kissed her neck. Her body had just received the signal from her nerve endings.
Come, it's too late!
Just a few minutes ago, Rob used almost the same method to cut off Beck's head. A few minutes later, the female assassin was fortunate enough to witness the young man's unbelievably fast spell-casting speed.
Perhaps only by personally facing the incoming wind blade would one be able to understand the great terror contained within it.
From the beginning to the end, Rob did not even open his mouth to complete the entire set of movements. It was as smooth as breathing and drinking water.
If she did not see it with her own eyes, the female assassin would not believe that there was someone in this world who could cast spells so easily. It was like an invitation from the Grim Reaper.
Maria even suspected that at such a close distance, even a Grade 3 or Grade 4 expert would not be able to dodge this terrifying attack.
What was the background of this seemingly ordinary guy in front of her?!
At this moment, Maria would no longer treat the young man as an ordinary follower.
If there was an element of luck in picking up the ring, then the series of movements after that, not to mention an ordinary person, even a genuine magician like Raúl would not be able to do it.
What puzzled the female assassin the most was that the ring could only release one more wind blade, why could it be used twice in the hands of the young man?!
As if sensing Maria's doubts, Archmage explained patiently, "There is no problem with the ring only being able to release one more wind blade, but no one said that this wind blade could only be released at once. If you look carefully, you should be able to see that the wind blade I used to kill Beck is much smaller than the one Edward released. That's right, I only used half of my magic power."
Maria's eyes widened. How could this work?!
The female assassin had never heard of such a thing in her life!
This was like a fantasy. The second type of magic device was made by magicians for ordinary people to use. Ordinary people could only use a specific method to trigger the magic engraved inside. Not to mention changing the strength of the magic, it was not easy to even control the direction of the magic device.
No, even a magician couldn't do that.
Raúl's aptitude was not bad, but when he used the ring, he was not much different from an ordinary person.
"It's too extreme to say that no one can do it. Among the people I know, there are three who can do it. It's just that as a magician, we rarely use the second type of magic device," the future Supreme Magician Your Honor said calmly.
