Previously, during the meeting at Flosinone's bookstore, Firo had told Connor that although the Demon Blood Golem could help him withstand the attack from the Church of the Storm, it would consume a large amount of his mana and cause him to fall into a state of exhaustion. His entire body would enter a period of weakness, and his strength would temporarily be less than 10%. Hence, he needed Connor to provide him with alchemy bombs, recovery potions, and other things to tide him over.
However, in reality, Firo's words were only an excuse for him to get things from Connor. Casting the Demon Blood Golem would not cause an official Magus like Firo to fall into a state of exhaustion and enter a period of weakness!
Although this was the truth, casting the Demon Blood Golem was a heaven-defying method that could give a Magus an extra life. It could be said that a large amount of mana was unavoidable. Although this kind of mana consumption would not cause Firo to fall into an embarrassing state of exhaustion and enter a state of weakness where his strength would be less than 10%, it would still cause a huge impact on Firo's strength.
Moreover, although the Demon Blood Golem had helped Firo to withstand the fatal attack from the Church of the Storm, a small portion of the damage had been borne by Firo himself. Hence, Firo's Spirit Ocean had also suffered a small injury. Hence, the injury to his Spirit Ocean and the consumption of his mana had caused Firo's current strength to be approximately 60% of his strength a few minutes ago, before Milik had crushed the white gemstone ring.
Under normal circumstances, when a Magus' strength was reduced to 60% due to injuries and mana consumption, there was a 90% chance that he would find a safe and reliable place to recuperate and recover his mana. If Milik was not by his side, Firo would have done the same.
Unfortunately, because of Milik's existence, Firo's current situation had become abnormal. Of course, Firo could leave and find a place to recuperate, but because of this, Firo would also lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Milik. And once Milik, this mad dog, had overcome this current difficulty, with his character, he would definitely not let Firo go. He would definitely chase after Firo and bite him to death.
After all, Milik himself had the mission of killing Firo that the Church of the Storm had given him. Coupled with the hatred of losing an arm, he would definitely not give up until he killed Firo. And now, under the explosion of the alchemy bomb, he was seriously injured and lost an arm.
There was no doubt that although Firo's strength was only 60% of his peak, for him, now was the best opportunity to kill Milik while he was down. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
Hearing Milik's painful groans, Firo knew that the choice was now in his hands. No matter whether he chose to "fight" or "run", he had to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no man. If there were any new changes in the situation, it would be very troublesome.
Although it was risky to fight now, it was very likely that he would be able to solve the problem once and for all. On the other hand, although it was safe to run now, he would probably be in trouble in the future.
After hesitating for three seconds, Firo gradually made up his mind. He looked in the direction of Milik's groans with some regret, but he still ran into the depths of the forest without looking back. He finally made the choice to give up this opportunity to kill Milik.
After making this decision, Firo's heart was undoubtedly filled with bitterness. If he were ten years younger, he definitely wouldn't have made this decision. He definitely wouldn't have hesitated to turn around and fight Milick to the death. He would have killed this dog that had caused him to lose his Demon Blood Puppet!
However, as he grew older, Firo's reckless courage was taken away, and at the same time, it made him see things more comprehensively and more deeply.
For Firo, putting aside the important question of whether he could kill Milik with 60% of his strength, the benefits of killing Milik were not as great as he expected.
A genius wizard like Milik, who represented the future of the Church of the Storm, had left a spiritual imprint in the headquarters of the Church. As long as he died, the Church would be aware of it. Therefore, even if Firo could kill Milik with all his strength, at the same time he solved the problem of Milik, he would also bring more trouble to himself. At that time, a level-2 wizard from the Church of the Storm might come to kill him personally.
Although Firo had decided to strike first to gain the upper hand, the situation at that time was completely different from now. At that time, he had not used the Demon Blood Golem yet. Killing Milik first would save him the Demon Blood Golem. Moreover, at that time, Milik was not as seriously injured as he was now.
Now, because of the existence of this injury, even if Milik was crazy, as long as his brain was not damaged by the alchemy bomb and he still thought about his own safety, he would not immediately chase after Firo and bite him. He would have to find a safe place to recuperate first. After this wolf cub licked his wounds clean, he would then continue to chase after Firo and fight to the death with Firo!
Therefore, the current situation was that Firo had actually temporarily gotten rid of Milik. At that time, Firo could not get rid of Milik, the fanatical extremist of the Church of the Storm, except for a fierce fight and an attempt to kill Milik.
Therefore, now that the loss of the Demon Blood Golem had become inevitable and he had actually gotten rid of Milik, apart from venting his anger, Firo could not actually gain much from fighting Milik now!
In addition to these reasons, there was another reason that made Firo give up the idea of killing Milik while he was sick. And this reason was related to Connor.
In the bookstore, the reason why Connor was willing to provide him with resources and help such as alchemy bombs was not because of the good relationship between Connor and Firo, other than the fact that he had a secret cooperation plan with Firo.
The biggest reason why Connor was willing to help Firo was that Connor needed Firo to be alive. He needed Firo to help him share the pressure from the Church of the Storm. This was to prevent the Church of the Storm from concentrating all the pressure on him after Firo was killed by the Church of the Storm.
If not for this reason, why would Connor be willing to refine such a troublesome alchemy bomb for Firo, who was his enemy not long ago?
