Stop's answer was accompanied by his wild laughter, making him seem extremely arrogant.
Even Elder Tree, who thought he had an excellent bearing, could not help but feel an inexplicable anger in his heart when he saw Stop's crazy appearance.
"Why are you doing this?" Elder Tree suppressed his anger and stared straight at Stop.
Stop licked the corner of his lips.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Why don't you take a guess?"
Elder Tree knew that Stop's question was intentional, but he did not lose his composure because of this. Instead, he followed his words and replied, "You have a grudge against the Bilos family."
Elder Tree was very certain, but after Stop heard this, deep disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"As expected.
The people of the Bilos family.
They're all laymen. "
Elder Tree frowned and said, "Are you quibbling and trying to get away with it?"
Stop looked at Elder Tree with an amused expression. "Quibbling? Are you sure that I have a grudge against the Bilos family? I don't admit it because I'm quibbling? Don't you think it's funny? Why should I quibble? Why should I get away with it? Is the Bilos family the law, or do you think you have the standard to determine responsibility? "
Stop raised his eyebrows. "Have you been in the Biron Tree Garden for too long and can't see how big the world outside is? I advise you to open your eyes and see the real world. Know your place. Don't think that you're still the high and mighty Great Elder.
"Perhaps in the past, you could still dominate the Biron Tree Garden, but after today, are you sure you can still be high and mighty?"
Stop did not explain himself, but his words kept provoking Elder Tree and Gaynor. Their faces were filled with anger.
On the other hand, Starleaf, who was sitting on the side and panting, was also dissatisfied with Stop's sarcasm, but he somewhat agreed with what he said.
Elder Tree's words.
They carried a sense of superiority as if they were the only law. It was as if they had decided that their rules were the rules.
If it was in the past, Starleaf might have thought so. After all, in the Biron Tree Garden, no one dared to oppose the Bilos family. He was used to being in power and could not see his surroundings.
If it weren't for the chaos in Goman Kingdom, Xingye would've suffered a great loss when he ventured out alone. Only then did he see the truth of the outside world and realize that all the flattery was nothing but a dream. After realizing this, Starleaf's eyes were no longer focused on the Bi Lun Shuting. He wanted to see a wider world, pursue his own self-realization, and search for the original truth.
With a change in mentality, Starleaf was able to view things more objectively.
Therefore, even though Stopp was Kieran's enemy, Stopp's words meant nothing to him.
Actually, the general direction wasn't wrong. The Biluos Family was too content to stay in a corner, and their vision was becoming more and more limited.
That was what Starleaf thought.
However, he didn't say anything.
He just lowered his eyes and quietly recovered from his injuries.
After Elder Tree heard this, he did not feel anything. Instead, he felt that Stop was still quibbling.
He sneered and said, "You mean, you didn't attack the Bi Luo family because of hatred? Then what's your purpose? "
Stop saw through Elder Tree's thoughts and mocked, "In any case, you've already set my thoughts in advance. Why bother asking?"
Elder Tree was stunned for a second, but he quickly revealed an "as expected" expression.
Seeing this, Stop shook his head inwardly. However, on second thought, it's good to define it as hatred. If I don't find a reason for my failure, Elder Tree's worldview will collapse … I'm really a good person.
Stop's shoulders trembled, and his heart seemed to have been sublimated.
At this moment, the Black Earl suddenly said, "So, your attack this time wasn't driven by hatred at all?"
No one expected the Black Earl to speak at this moment.
Elder Tree and the others looked over, somewhat puzzled by the Black Earl's meaning.
Stop thought for a moment and replied, "Only stupid people think that hatred is the greatest driving force. Although there are stupid people in my organization, unfortunately, I am not one of them. "
The Black Earl asked, "So, there's no reason or purpose for attacking the Bi Lun Shuting?"
Stop looked at the Black Earl and suddenly laughed. "Of course there's a reason and a purpose. However, compared to the so-called reason and purpose, I'm more concerned about my own happiness. "
Stop's words made Elder Tree laugh coldly. He clearly had a reason and a purpose, yet he acted as if he didn't care about anything.
The Black Earl wasn't too surprised by Stop's words.
He had seen too many people with different personalities. There were quite a few Magi who had no purpose at all and only caused great destruction for fun.
These people always claimed to be free from vulgar interests, but in reality, they were just trying to satisfy their own desires for fun.
At least Stop had a purpose and reason, but from his tone and the way he spoke, the Black Earl could basically confirm that this person was also a fun-loving person, or rather … a pleasure addict.
Elder Tree said, "You just said that you didn't have hatred as your purpose, and now you're saying that you had a reason and purpose for attacking the Bi Lun Shuting. Then, what's your reason and purpose? "
Stop glanced at Elder Tree. "I've already fulfilled the reward for clearing the level. What you've asked is already beyond the scope of my answer. However, I can reveal a little about my purpose here. "
Stop paused and then smiled widely. "My purpose here is to give the Black Earl a good gift."
The moment he finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, Stop suddenly laughed loudly.
In the dark night, his laughter was sharp and eerie.
"The gift has been delivered, and it's time to leave. Good night, everyone."
Accompanied by his loud laughter, Stop's figure suddenly turned dark, as if he had merged into the background of the night.
Seeing this, how could Elder Tree not understand that Stop was going to run away? He didn't have time to think about Stop's last words and directly stood up. "Gaynor, Shaina, attack together. We must keep him here!"
As Elder Tree finished speaking, he had already charged toward Stop like an arrow.
Gaynor and Shaina attacked as well.
However, Stop was not afraid at all. His body that had merged into the darkness showed no intention of separating.
At first, Elder Tree did not understand why Stop was so fearless. It was only when their attacks were reflected by an invisible barrier that they realized that this Stop was no weaker than the monsters he summoned!
Previously, Stop had used the invisible barrier to reflect Gaynor's purple flames. Now, it was not just the purple flames. Even Shaina and Tree's attacks were reflected, and the barrier did not show any signs of damage. It was clear just how terrifying the rebounding barrier Stop had cast was.
"Echo Reflection!" Shaina remembered that the Black Earl mentioned this rebounding ability before.
According to the Black Earl, only Mister Rein of Brute Cavern could cast this spell in the southern wizarding region. Now, such a powerful spell had appeared once again. However, this time, it was cast by an unknown Sorcerer.
Once it was cast, it became a great surprise!
Not only were the attacks of the three great wizards blocked, but they were also reflected.
Such a terrifying ability!
The only good thing was that the rebounding attacks were traceable and could be avoided. The three of them successfully dodged the rebounding attacks.
However, dodging the rebounding attacks was not something to be proud of.
Watching Stop leave was a form of humiliation for him!
After Elder Tree tried to attack twice, he understood that the Echo Reflection was not something he could destroy. Stop's power was beyond their imagination.
The only one they could rely on now was the Black Earl.
Elder Tree turned around and looked at the Black Earl. However, the Black Earl seemed to be thinking about something and did not notice Elder Tree's gaze.
Elder Tree did not hesitate. He gritted his teeth and said, "We agree to the second option. Please help us break Echo Reflection, sir!"
Elder Tree spoke in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would not make it in time.
Elder Tree's request brought the Black Earl back to reality. He looked at Stop. However, due to the powerful energy ripples around them, the Black Earl did not see Stop's expression.
If he could see Stop's expression, the Black Earl might be able to guess the meaning behind Stop's words.
However, it didn't matter if he couldn't see it.
Didn't Stop say that one of his goals was to deliver a gift?
Then let's see if Stop had the qualifications to deliver such a gift!
"Sure." Black Earl nodded to Elder Tree and summoned a Dust Sand Scroll. He used the terrifying whirlpool to continuously attack Echo Reflection without any discrimination.
If anyone else had used the Dust Sand Scroll, they would have been killed by Echo Reflection.
However, the Black Earl understood his old friend's Echo Reflection all too well. The Dust Sand Scroll he used was not cast with his own body as a medium. Instead, he used the Earth Giant's energy to cast the Dust Sand Scroll. Moreover, after casting the spell, the Earth Giant collapsed.
The Black Earl had directly cut off the connection between the two energies. Even if Echo Reflection wanted to reflect, it had no target.
In the end, Echo Reflection could only be destroyed by the Dust Sand Scroll.
The direction of the matter was indeed as the Black Earl had expected. In a short five seconds, the Dust Sand Scroll had completely destroyed Echo Reflection.
Seeing that Stop was exposed, Elder Tree's eyes lit up. The energy he had prepared long ago turned into thousands of hair-like thorny vines, cutting off all of Stop's escape routes. Moreover, the thorny vines were sharp and poisonous. After Stop was exposed, his defensive spell only resisted for a second before it was pierced through. Nearly a hundred thorny vines pierced through Stop's limbs and chest.
The hair-like thorny vines were almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Everyone could only see a large number of bloody holes erupt from Stop's body. Only then did they confirm that Elder Tree's attack had worked.
Seeing that Stop was about to be caught, Elder Tree's expression was very excited.
On the other side, the Black Earl revealed a puzzled expression. If Stop's "gift" was what he understood, then Stop should have a backup plan. But now, it seemed that he was just bluffing?
Stop's limbs and chest were pierced through by thousands of vines. In this situation, could he still escape?
Just as the Black Earl was puzzled and Elder Tree was excited, a sudden voice rang out in everyone's ears.
"Break through."
Along with this voice, a light barrier radiating with strange energy suddenly enveloped Stop. Not only did the light barrier cut through Elder Tree's thorny vines, but it also healed the wounds caused by the thorny vines at a visible rate.
In a few short seconds, all of Stop's wounds had healed. Even the poison had been cleansed.
Elder Tree could not believe his eyes when he saw this scene.
His thorny vines had been charged up for nearly a minute. He had even reinforced it because he was worried that Stop would escape. But why was a light barrier able to cut off all the thorny vines and even heal all of Stop's wounds?
What kind of ability was this?
It was important to note that Elder Tree was a nature adept himself. He was of the lineage most skilled at healing. He knew very well that the wounds caused by the thorny vines could not be healed so easily.
Even if they were truly healed, it would take a lot of effort.
But now, Stop had been healed in a few short seconds, and even the poison had been cleansed. Elder Tree could not believe this.
"Who is it? Who did it! Come out! "Gaynor shouted.
This light barrier was definitely not created by Stop. When Stop was being controlled by the thorny vines, he had no spare energy to control the energy.
Moreover, Gaynor clearly remembered that he had heard a voice before the light barrier had appeared.
That was definitely not Stop's voice!
Following Gaynor's shout, the silhouette of a person slowly appeared within the light barrier.
It was a muscular man with a bare upper body. He did not wear any clothes, and there was a black leather band with rivets in the shape of an 'X' on his chest. A black and red cloak was draped over his back.
It was as if he had appeared out of thin air from the ripples in the air, standing behind Stop.
His appearance was rather familiar to Gaynor. It was as if he had seen him somewhere before.
At this moment, Shaina seemed to have recognized the other party's identity. Surprise flashed in her eyes, "You are … Aixen?"
Aixen looked at Shaina and revealed a simple and honest smile, "It is me, Witch Yu Sen."
Shaina looked at Aixen in disbelief, and then looked at Stop in front of him, "You … Why are you with him?"
In Shaina's memories, Aixen was an extremely gentle and honest person.
Although she did not have much contact with him, in that limited contact, she could see that Aixen was helping the younger generation.
Aixen's' kindness' had left a deep impression on Shaina. For this reason, Shaina had specially asked someone to gather information on Aixen.
According to the information, Aixen had not done anything excessive ever since he had arrived at the Beren Tree Court. He was more of a helping hand to the younger acolytes, and did not care about the acolytes' origins. Many acolytes from the Bilos family had also sought Aixen's guidance.
It could be said that Aixen was a light Magus who did not look like an academic, but was even more academic than an academic.
Shaina felt that such a light Magus was foolish, but she was still willing to associate with him.
There was no harm in being on good terms with a light Magus.
However, what Shaina did not expect was that such a light Magus would actually stand behind Stop, a madman who had committed heinous crimes, in a defensive manner!
What was going on?
