In the hall of the villa, Lawrence, who was wearing a silver robe, stood in the middle of the altar. His face, which was distorted by pain, was filled with fanaticism and excitement.
He could clearly feel that as the shadow behind him merged with his body, his blood was boiling and cheering, slowly transforming his body.
Is this the prelude to the awakening of the blood power?
Is it going to start?
Am I going to succeed after forty years of chasing and waiting?
In Lawrence's ears, there were intermittent moans, which seemed to be the applause and cheers of people at a Knight's ceremony. However, at this moment, he found that his body was shaking back and forth, and he could not stand steadily. Clanging sounds came from all around the villa, and dust fell from the ceiling.
Is it an earthquake?
Why is there an earthquake at this time? Is this the punishment of the Lord? Lawrence, who had changed his faith in pursuit of power, was still in awe of the God of Truth due to the short period of time he had spent with the God of Truth. At such a crucial moment, the sudden earthquake inevitably reminded him of the various powers of the God of Truth in myths and legends.
No, I'm only one step away. I've waited for forty years to awaken the blood power. How can I give up now? As long as I can awaken the blood power and become a Knight, even if the villa collapses, I'll still have a chance to survive!
The shadow behind him, which had merged with half of its body, seemed to be able to read Lawrence's mind. It said in a penetrating voice, "The magic circles and traps set up can't deal with the earthquake, and you still need six or seven minutes to completely merge with my projection. The shaking is getting more and more intense. If the whole house collapses, you won't be able to survive. Lawrence, stop for now. Anyway, you've already merged with half of my projection's power and reached the peak of the senior-rank Knight's squire. You'll have another chance to merge with my projection next time. "
His speech speed was very fast. In just a dozen seconds, he had conveyed his thoughts to Lawrence.
Lawrence was furious. He was about to succeed but was stopped by a natural disaster. He wanted to vent his anger but didn't know who to vent it on. He was so depressed that his chest was about to explode. "No, it's very likely that the earthquake will stop soon!"
He still did not want to give up.
However, suddenly, there was a crashing sound, and the window shattered in the strong shaking. The wind blew in, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere and foretelling the coming of a storm.
"Lord! It's an earthquake! "
"Run!"
"Help! Ah!!"
Some people hurriedly put on their clothes, some naked people hurriedly ran to the door, and some directly hit the window … For them who did not have the power of a Knight, and some of them were even delicate young ladies, if the villa was destroyed by the earthquake and buried here, they could only pray for the protection of the Lord.
Drained of their essence and strength by the evil ritual, they stumbled as they ran. One of the women fell to the ground. She was so tired and scared that she couldn't stand up. She could only crawl toward the door.
The sacrificial lambs left one by one. The lines on the altar quickly extinguished, and the shadow gradually disappeared. Baron Lawrence roared, venting the depression and anger in his heart.
After shouting, he quickly woke up from his fanatical anticipation and frustration. Seeing that his villa was still shaking violently, he cursed, "Damn earthquake!"
He then hurriedly ran out of the villa and removed all the magic traps that were blocking his way.
Behind him, a man in a black suit, who seemed to be indulging in the lewd ball, looked out of the villa with a solemn expression.
…
In the shadow outside the villa, Philosopher, White Honey, and Smile were speechless. Their eyes were wide open, and their mouths were wide open. While the villa was shaking violently, Professor slowly moved his hands back into the shadow and said in a gloomy and calm tone, "They're starting to run out. You guys get ready to hunt down the evil creatures."
"Mr. Professor, why don't we just let the villa collapse?" White Honey looked at the villa that was still shaking violently due to inertia, and it seemed that she was still in a daze. She subconsciously asked.
Lucien chuckled, "If the villa collapses, the evil creatures will be smashed to death inside. How can I quickly collect the blood of the evil creatures? If the villa collapses, the noise will be very loud, and it will definitely alarm the night watchers who are wandering around, and even the churches nearby will be alerted. "
The two reasons were only part of the reason. The real reason was that although the natural frequency of the house was not like the ultrasonic wave or high-intensity infrasound, which could be generated by Lucien's spiritual power through Professor's Hand of Resonance, the structure of the house was very complicated, and there was not only one natural frequency, but many. According to the vibration feedback and mental calculation, Lucien could only simulate the first natural frequency and make the whole house shake, but he could not make the whole house collapse. Also, Lucien was just an apprentice, and the power of this spell was not enough to make the house collapse.
Therefore, on the other hand, Lucien might be able to destroy a bridge, albeit barely.
Lucien's words really woke Philosopher, Smile, and White Honey up. The spell that Professor just cast without any casting materials and without any incantation should be the real power of Professor. His power was indeed terrifying and awe-inspiring.
When they looked at Lucien, their eyes were full of respect and fear for the powerful and knowledgeable sorcerer.
White Honey calmed down and focused on casting. Through a magic item on her body, she sensed the crowd that was running out of the villa. She said calmly and coldly with a hoarse and slightly sexy voice:
"Objects with the aura of evil creatures are fifteen meters away from the nearest window. Let's move one meter to the left so that we can cast the spell better."
Sage moved while maintaining his focus. "Smail, 'Homan Zee's Cough'."
Homan's Coughing was a high-pitched sound wave attack spell. The people who were hit directly by it would lose their balance, get hurt, or even die, and the people around them would be hurt by the sound waves and pass out.
"Philosopher, Noise Barrier. Watch out for the damn black gloves," Smile also responded calmly.
White Honey continued to report Baron Lawrence's position, "senior-rank Knight squire. Five meters away. Low-rank Demon Projection. Don't use acid or fire spells. One meter away. Get ready. I'll use Arrow Shooting." She judged Baron Lawrence's power from his running speed, his agility to dodge the falling stones, and his strength to push away the people in front of him.
In just a few seconds, Lucien had figured out Baron Lawrence's position, power, and his first round of attack. Lucien, who was standing next to them quietly, finally got to know the fighting style of a magic apprentice who had been taught by a formal school for the first time.
In order to escape from the earthquake, Baron Lawrence knocked away the guests in front of him and rushed to the window in a few seconds. Then, holding his head, he slammed open the window that had not yet broken and jumped outside.
However, just as Baron Lawrence leapt up, a loud rumble suddenly exploded in his ears. It was as if a storm that had been brewing for a long time had finally begun its fierce thunder.
His ears were buzzing, and his head was in a mess as if it was going to explode. Unable to maintain his balance, Baron Lawrence directly fell to the ground.
Then, an arrow that was shining with cold metal light accurately hit Baron Lawrence's right eye. Dark red blood with the smell of sulfur flowed out and was caught by an invisible hand.
In order to maintain his image as a powerful sorcerer, Lucien cast a spell without incantation. This spell alone consumed almost half of Lucien's spiritual power. Plus the Professor's Resonating Hand, Lucien only had enough spiritual power to cast two more apprentice-level spells.
"Ah!" Lawrence screamed in pain, but his scream was canceled out by the Sound Suppression Wall.
At this moment, Baron Lawrence finally realized that he was under attack.
But it was all too late. Another arrow followed closely behind, and as he screamed, it accurately flew into Baron Lawrence's mouth.
The sound stopped immediately.
The baron, who had the strength of a high-rank Knecht and had fused with the projection of an evil creature, was killed in just a few seconds under the cooperation of several Lehrlings.
Seeing this, Lucien wanted to say, "His combat ability is not even five."
Around the grass where Baron Lawrence was lying, there were several men and women with disheveled clothes lying there. The people who came out from other directions were busy avoiding the earthquake and didn't pay attention to the situation here at all. They continued to run outside the walls of the villa in a panic.
The shaking of the villa gradually calmed down, and the people whose legs had gone soft finally crawled out. Their naked bodies were covered in dust that had fallen from the ceiling. As for the servants, how could Baron Lawrence allow them to stay in the villa when he was conducting such a lewd ritual? They had already rushed to the small house on the other side of the villa's garden.
Lucien kept pouring the blood of the evil creature into the glass tubes that were engraved with magic runes. Seeing that Baron Lawrence was dead, Smile, Philosopher, and the other apprentices were also helping to collect the blood. Of course, the extra blood could be used for magic experiments.
Putting the three glass tubes filled with the blood of the evil creature into the special pocket of his black robe, Lucien glanced at the apprentices who had recovered from the "earthquake" and said in a low voice, "It's time to leave."
"Yes." Philosopher, White Honey, and Smile put away the extra glass tubes and were about to leave with Professor.
When the four apprentices were about to leave, a black shadow suddenly dashed out of the window a dozen steps away from them. With a dark dagger in his hand, the shadow viciously stabbed toward Lucien's back.
He had been waiting quietly in the villa, and finally, he got the chance to assassinate the powerful sorcerer who ruined his plan.
Judging from the magic that just destroyed the villa, he only had one chance!
