…
The speed of the black shadow far exceeded Baron Laurent's. It even exceeded the limits of human vision. If the men and women at the banquet calmed down and looked in that direction, they would only see a long, blurry streak of black light. It was an afterimage left behind by extreme speed.
This kind of speed was not something an ordinary person could achieve. Only experts who had awakened their bloodline power could achieve this.
The one who attacked Lucien was a real Knight!
Less than two seconds had passed since the shadow dashed to Lucien's back and the dagger was about to pierce into Lucien's body.
Philosopher, White Honey, and Smile were all caught off guard. They did not even notice that a powerful enemy was approaching them from behind.
Lucien was the only one who felt a sudden fear when the black dagger was very close to his back. Subconsciously, he jumped forward.
However, Lucien's speed was no match for the speed of the shadow's attack. It was a huge gap in strength, like the gap between the abyss and the "heaven".
Even though Lucien could create new spells with the help of his own knowledge, which could intimidate knights, sorcerers, and apprentices, in a real battle, his knowledge could not be turned into real power, and thus could not help Lucien cast instant spells to block the dagger's attack. Only when he became a sorcerer and built a spell model with his spiritual power in his soul, could he be able to cast instant spells to block the dagger's attack.
Lucien's only hope was that the force of his fall would weaken the dagger. As long as he was not killed directly, he could still use Ice Revenger to fight back.
The shadow looked at the dagger that was about to touch Lucien's back. Suddenly, a croaking sound came. A transparent, chain-like light shield appeared on Lucien's body.
First-circle spell, Sorcerer's Armor!
Although Philosopher and the others did not realize what was going on, Ashley, the black crow on the top of the tree outside the villa, had already noticed it when the shadow jumped out. As a sorcerer's pet, Ashley could see in the dark and also borrow its owner's magic power.
The dagger shimmering with black light pierced the transparent mage armor. Little bits of light bloomed, and the armor soon shattered into pieces of armor, flashing in the darkness.
The black shadow did not expect that the sorcerer's armor would suddenly appear. Although he managed to break the sorcerer's armor with the help of his own strength and the special dagger, he was still a bit slow. Seeing that Lucien turned around and pointed his left hand at him, three cold lights flashed out.
Palmeira's Ice Dagger, a second-circle spell!
At this critical moment, Lucien did not feel dizzy or scared. Instead, he calmly activated the Ice Revenger ring. He knew that attacking was the best defense at this moment.
At the same time, with the enhancement of Ice Avenger, Lucien's willpower was just like that of an official knight. He was not overwhelmed by the dark and terrifying aura of the black knight. A normal magic apprentice would have already fallen into the endless shadows under the suppression of the black knight's aura, staying still and letting the knight attack him.
As soon as the three daggers appeared, they crossed the distance of an arm between them and flew towards the shadow Knight's throat, chest and lower body.
A layer of shadow-like flame was ignited on the black knight's body, full of tyrannical and destructive power. However, in such a short distance, the black knight did not dare to only use his Blood Power, Shadow, to defend himself. Although he wanted to kill the sorcerer who had ruined his plan, killing him was meaningless except for venting his anger. Therefore, at the moment of life and death, the most important thing was his own life.
He flicked his dagger upwards, and his arm left afterimages, shattering the two ice blades that were shooting towards his chest and throat. They turned into countless tiny ice shards that fluttered in the air like fireflies in the dark night. His right foot kicked out, and with a flickering flame, he accurately kicked the last ice blade, shattering it and dissolving it in the shadows.
After blocking the three ice daggers, the shadow Knight was about to continue to attack Lucien, who had already fallen to the ground. At the same time, he reached out his left hand, and a layer of black shadow lit up. He was about to block the two silver-black missiles that Ashley spat out.
It was the first circle spell, Magic Missile!
However, at this time, the ice and snow that looked like tiny stars suddenly turned into clouds of cold mist. The mist suddenly shrank and froze the surroundings, including the shadow flame on the shadow Knight's body. Everything was covered by the crystal-clear layer of ice, and it was burning quietly.
Palmeira's Ice Dagger could make people feel the pain of bleeding, and at the same time, enjoy the coldness of the ice and snow!
The shadow Knight was frozen on the spot for a short time, and the two magic missiles hit him directly. The ice layer was broken, and the shadow flame on his body was shaking, but it did not go out.
Ashley cawed, "It's a level two Knight!"
At this time, Philosopher, White Honey, and Smile finally realized what had happened. They saw the shadow that was blown away.
They did not know how powerful the shadow flame was, but judging from the way Professor was rolling on the ground and the shadow flame on his body, they knew that the shadow flame must have awakened his Blessing. Therefore, Philosopher and White Honey did not hesitate and directly activated their magic items.
An invisible ray of light spread out from the Sage's chest like a wave of water. It was ten meters wide, and within this range, all men and women suddenly yawned. Their eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and they fell softly onto the grass or bushes, sleeping peacefully.
It was the first circle spell, Sleep.
The dark knight, who was trying his best to keep his balance, was hit by the light of the Hypnosis spell. His brain was in a daze, and he felt that the warm and soft bed around him was calling him to sleep. However, with his strong will, he resisted the sleepiness and shook his head to wake up.
But what followed was a majestic wave that was like a hammer. It hit the dark knight fiercely and slammed him into the window of the villa with a bang. He crashed through the window and flew in, making a crashing sound, causing the villa to shake again.
It was the first circle spell, Force Wave, which came with White Honey's robe.
"He's a level two Knight. He won't die so easily. Keep attacking, Mr. Professor." Ashley, the black raven, had already flown to the villa and said to Professor, who was at least a second circle sorcerer.
Lucien was about to throw out the Flame Gel and attack together with Ashley. However, before he could do anything, the whole villa started to shake violently. The ceiling and the walls started to collapse. Within a few seconds, the whole villa collapsed and buried the shadow Knight.
"Just like Philosopher said, Baron Laurent's old house has been in disrepair for a long time …"
Lucien knew that his Hand of Resonance was not powerful enough to destroy a normal house. However, a house that had been in disrepair for a long time was not within his range. The shaking just now must have shaken the structure and stability of the house. Therefore, when the shadow Knight bumped into the house, the whole house collapsed.
The sound of the house collapsing was so loud that Philosopher did not have time to cast a Noise Suppressor. The sound spread far away and could be heard clearly in the dark.
"Damn it! Night watchers!" This was the first thought that flashed through the minds of Ashley, Sage, and the others. At this time, if they searched the collapsed villa and killed the black shadow knight, they would only invite the Church's night watchers.
Ashley, the black raven, quickly turned into a black shadow and covered White Honey. He said to Lucien, "See you next time, Mr. Professor." Then he flew away quickly.
Philosopher and Smile bowed to Lucien and said, "Mr. Professor, we're leaving now." Then they quickly went out of the gate and disappeared into the darkness. It seemed that both of them had a place or a way to hide in the noble district.
As for Lucien, Ashley, Philosopher, and the rest of the sorcerers all believed that such a powerful and mysterious professor must have a way to escape, just like the black raven itself.
Before Lucien realized what was going on, they had already left. He could only say to himself, "You can take me with you."
There was a price to pay for pretending to be mysterious and powerful!
There was no time to waste. Lucien also turned around and went through the gate, quickly walking into the darkness.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Thunder rumbled, and raindrops the size of beans fell rapidly. The storm that had been brewing for a long time finally began.
In the ruins of the collapsed house, a little bit of dark flame burned through the ceiling and cracked the stones. Then a black shadow climbed out.
The shadow on his body had mostly disappeared, and his face could be seen. He was in his thirties, with a neatly trimmed beard. It was the leader of Aaron's gang, Long Sang. Aaron.
Aaron looked at the place where Lucien had disappeared into the darkness and hesitated for a few seconds.
"At the most dangerous moment, he didn't use the magic he built in his soul. Instead, he used a magic item. This means that he is not as powerful as I thought. That horrible spell just now must have consumed most of his spiritual power. Should I go after him?"
"No, it's too loud. The night watchers and even the bishop of the Church might be on their way. I'm already seriously injured. If I stay here any longer, I'll either die or be taken to the inquisition."
After making a simple judgment of the situation, Aaron did not let his anger and hatred affect him. His body shook, and he merged into the darkness, silently escaping.
…
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, like a waterfall falling from the sky. Lucien felt pain when the raindrops hit his body. He was running in the dark, soaking wet. His materials were either in glass tubes or wrapped in waterproof magic cotton cloth, so they were not affected by the rain.
Any promising Magic Apprentice would consider the preservation of their casting materials in different weather and environments. Magic Apprentices who couldn't cast spells in a heavy rain would have a hard time living in this world.
In the storm, Lucien felt like he was isolated in another world, and he was running alone toward the entrance of the secret passage.
Soon, Lucien saw the place covered by the shadow of the trees. The secret passage was right in front of him.
However, at this time, a flash of lightning lit up the area as if it was daytime. Lucien saw a man in a white suit. He was wearing a pair of black gloves, and his light red hair was wet and stuck to his forehead.
Black gloves, a night watcher!
When Lucien saw the night watcher, he was also noticed by the night watcher.
They were not able to see each other because of the heavy rain and the darkness, but now they happened to be illuminated by the lightning.
