If they didn't have a common interest in the nuclear threat, Connor and Firo wouldn't even talk about working together. They might even fight over blood witchcraft. Therefore, the degree of trust between them was very low. It wasn't surprising that they didn't trust each other and held back.
To be honest, Firo's suspicions were not unreasonable. Connor really thought of the possibility of killing Firo and Milik together. He was also tempted by this possibility. When he was setting up the magic circle, he even left some unspeakable backups in the magic circle in case the situation changed.
However, based on the current situation, after careful consideration, Connor did not intend to get rid of Firo after he had outlived his usefulness. At least for now, he still needed someone like Firo. To him, Firo was still irreplaceable. First of all, to find the possible ruins in the forest, Connor also needed some key information in Firo's hands to support his judgment.
In addition, as long as Firo was alive, he could contain a lot of the Church of the Storm's energy. Even if the Church of the Storm intended to attack Connor Ferguson, they would not be able to focus on him because of Firo's existence.
After dealing with Firo, Connor turned his attention back to Milik, who was trapped in the magic circle. Ever since he was trapped in the magic circle, Milik had been attacking the magic circle for a long time. However, this guy was quite decisive. After discovering that no matter how he attacked, the Ansellon Maze did not move an inch, and the energy consumption of his spells in the magic circle was several times higher than outside the magic circle, Milik immediately gave up attacking the magic circle. He then hid in a corner of the magic circle and took potions to maintain the energy reserves in his body. At the same time, he was vigilant, waiting for the opportunity to break the magic circle.
Although Milik's approach could be said to be the best choice in the current situation, Connor did not care much about his approach. He only increased the pressure of the magic circle to the maximum, increasing the energy consumption of Milik in the magic circle. In his eyes, with Milik's strength, once he fell into the magic circle, he was basically declared dead. The only thing left was how Milik would die …
Because he had already wasted some time talking with Connor, Firo only rested for 20 minutes before he stopped and stood up. Seeing that Firo was ready, Connor, who was controlling the magic circle with the compass in his hand, did not hesitate and pointed directly at the compass. Immediately, a light door that could only allow one person to pass through appeared in the magic circle.
Although the light door did not appear in the magic circle where Milik was, as soon as the light door appeared, Milik, who was always vigilant in the corner of the magic circle, sensed the position of the light door. Realizing that the opportunity to break out of the magic circle that he had been waiting for had appeared, Milik immediately took action. His whole body turned into a white streamer and went straight to the light door.
Milik's speed was very fast, and his movement was also very sudden. There was no warning in advance, but Connor, who was controlling the magic circle, had long expected this guy who had been waiting for an opportunity to play such a trick. A sarcastic smile appeared on his face. In the next second, Milik, who went straight to the light door, hit the light curtain of the magic circle heavily and was fiercely bounced back. It turned out that the light door was just a decoration. In fact, it was a thick light curtain.
At the same time, another light door appeared in front of Milik. Firo quickly entered the magic circle through this light door. As soon as Firo entered, the light door quickly disappeared. Then, under the control of Connor, a thick layer of green fog appeared out of nowhere in the magic circle.
Sensing that the green mist was further suppressing his Mental Energy perception, Firo, who had just crashed into the light barrier and broken a few ribs, ignored the pain of his broken ribs and immediately took out the blue ball of light from his space ring. He held it in his hand and carefully observed his surroundings, searching for traces of Firo who was hiding in the green mist.
As a wizard of the Church of the Storm, Milik had received very orthodox and comprehensive wizardry knowledge in the monastery of the Church of the Storm ever since he became a wizard. Although he wasn't an alchemist or a pharmacist, he had a certain degree of understanding of alchemy and potions.
Therefore, although he didn't know what kind of magic circle was trapping him, Milik had basically figured out the characteristics of the magic circle that had trapped him here for half an hour. This was a magic circle with limited lethality, focusing on trapping enemies and concealing them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to discover this magic circle when he was outside when he sensed danger.
It was because of this that Milik made the choice to stop attacking the light curtain and wait for an opportunity to appear. Unfortunately, although Milik made the right choice, it was obvious that Connor was more skillful. He manipulated the magic circle to deceive Milik.
Now that he saw Firo sneaking into the magic circle, Milik knew without a doubt that this meant that the other party didn't intend to drag things out with him, and was preparing to end the battle quickly!
Under the cover of the green fog, Firo quietly took out a dagger from his space ring and held it in his hand. He quietly approached Milik who was in the corner of the magic circle. Although this dagger looked ordinary and nothing special, Connor, who was very sensitive to magic artifacts as an alchemist, immediately noticed its existence.
"This Firo really does have some family background!"
Connor, who was sitting outside the magic circle with a compass in his hand, murmured in surprise. Before this moment, Connor only knew that Firo had a very strange harmonica that could play crisp bells. It was a very powerful tier-2 magic artifact. Connor had even suffered a loss from this harmonica when he fought with Firo.
However, Connor really didn't expect that Firo would have this dagger in addition to the harmonica!
Although this dagger in Firo's hand was inconspicuous, and he didn't know what it was used for, it was definitely a tier-2 magic artifact. Although Connor knew that Firo was not cheap from their previous contact, it was still completely out of Connor's expectations that he had two tier-2 magic artifacts.
