Just as the silver cross blade was about to collide with the chain shield in front of Connor, a layer of crimson spider web suddenly appeared at the end of the silver cross blade. The spider web firmly stuck to the end of the silver cross blade, temporarily holding the silver cross blade in mid-air! Just as Connor was looking at this unforeseen event with some astonishment, Marguerite's anxious voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Connor, you idiot, what are you doing standing there in a daze!"
Hearing Marguerite's exclamation, Connor immediately woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly dodged. The crimson spider web that Marguerite had used all her strength to cast had delayed Connor for a full 5 seconds. When the silver cross blade broke free from the web, the light of the cross blade had already dimmed by quite a bit.
Don't underestimate these 5 seconds. For a Magus like Connor, in this kind of life and death situation, 5 seconds of delay was already not a short time. When Connor's figure appeared again, he was already a hundred meters away from where he was previously. Without anyone controlling the silver cross blade, it could no longer chase after Connor's figure. After a while, the last of the magic power that Scarface had used on the cross blade had been exhausted. The light of the cross blade had dimmed, and Connor waved the shadow chains, directly smashing the silver cross blade to the ground.
Picking up the cross blade from the ground, Connor's expression was very complicated. He slowly walked to Marguerite's side.
At this moment, Marguerite's appearance was very miserable. Bleeding from all seven orifices, and her aura was very chaotic. Just like that, she was paralyzed on the ground. Looking at Connor who was walking over, her pale face flashed a trace of vigilance. She faintly said to Connor, "Are you planning to leave me here with you?"
Hearing Marguerite's question, Connor's expression froze for a moment. Soon after, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he self-deprecatingly said, "Marguerite, I admit that I'm not a good person, but things like biting the hand that feeds me, I can't do it!"
After saying that, Connor took out a bottle of medicine from his space ring, and then placed it on the ground around Marguerite together with the silver cross blade.
"This is the deep sea medicine, and it has a very good effect on your current mana backlash. Also, this sword is yours. I'll leave half of the things in Scarface's space ring to you, and I'll give you 50% of the magic stone mine's share …" Connor earnestly explained his compensation to Marguerite. He knew that the reason why Marguerite's mana backlash was completely because of him. Just now, her mana was insufficient to support the use of the blood fog, but in order to help him, she used the blood red spider web to delay the cross blade. If it wasn't for the help of Marguerite's blood red spider web, Connor honestly didn't know whether he would be able to withstand Scarface's final attack.
"Enough! Connor Ferguson, you're a bastard, a complete and utter bastard! " To Connor's surprise, without waiting for him to continue, Marguerite who was paralyzed on the ground angrily shouted with her eyes wide open.
"Hmm? What's wrong with me? If you're not satisfied with this compensation, we can talk about it later! Although he felt that Marguerite's anger was somewhat inexplicable, Connor appeared to be very patient. He didn't know what was wrong with this woman today. She was not normal at all. She didn't hesitate to suffer the pain of mana backlash in order to help him get through this life and death crisis. When he gave her compensation, she didn't bargain with him, but instead scolded him.
"Get out of here!" Looking at Connor's bewildered look, he didn't seem to have the shrewdness to kill Scarface, this advanced Apprentice Adept. Margaret felt that this guy was purposely playing dumb in front of her. Immediately, she angrily scolded him.
Looking at Marguerite's flustered and exasperated appearance, Connor didn't know why, but since this woman told him to "get out", then he would leave! He paused for a moment, and seriously said to Marguerite, "This time I owe you a favor!" After saying that, he directly flashed away.
After leaving Marguerite, Connor walked to the side of Scarface's corpse. Looking at Scarface whose heart was pierced through by the Shadow Chain, Connor first took off the space ring he was wearing. After checking for a while and confirming that there was no danger, he properly put it in his pocket. Then Connor took a deep breath, put one hand on Scarface's head, and mobilized all of his power of the will to use Spirit Assimilation.
After a moment, Connor's head felt bursts of stabbing pain, and a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth. Only then did he somewhat regretfully stop using Spirit Assimilation. He put his hand on Scarface's head, released a fireball, and completely burned Scarface's corpse to ashes.
Scarface was an advanced Sorcerer Apprentice, and his power of the will was above Connor's. As a Spirit Sorcerer, Connor's power of the will was at the top of the intermediate Sorcerer Apprentice realm. He could barely use Spirit Assimilation on Scarface and capture some of Scarface's memory fragments.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Connor's eyes flashed with excitement. Although the forced use of Spirit Assimilation this time caused Connor some mental trauma, Connor felt that these injuries were very valuable, and solved a few hidden worries in his heart.
First of all, Connor's guess was not wrong. Scarface did not come here because of the magic stone mine, but because he had his eyes on Avilova. Therefore, he came to Tunguska quietly. In short, whether it was Scarface or Avilova, they had deliberately concealed their whereabouts so that the dark Magi organization they belonged to, the Benfica Secret Order, would not catch them!
Understanding this point, Connor suddenly relaxed a lot. He was really afraid that if he killed the young one, the old one would come. If that was the case, even the advanced wizard apprentice Scarface was killed. The next time the Benfica secret society would definitely send an official wizard. If that was the case, in order to reduce his losses, Connor estimated that he could only choose to tell the secret society about the magic stone mine. If he gave the secret society some magic stones, he would at least be able to get a share of the magic stones.
Secondly, in the memory fragments of Scarface that Connor captured, it all hinted at one thing, and that was that Scarface had always been a dog-eat-dog, and who knew how many souls had fallen under his cross sword. Scarface had always been a loner in the Benfica Secret Order, and he did not trust anyone. He carried almost all of his property in his space ring, and the other part that was not easy to carry, he also hid in a secret place that only he knew!
As the saying goes, one who survives a great disaster is bound to have good fortune later on. This time, Connor had painstakingly risked his life to get rid of Scarface, and the spoils of war came with it. Not only did Scarface's space ring fall into his hands, even the place where Scarface hid his things was found by Connor through Spirit Assimilation!
