It had to be said that the defensive power of Mariano's ice blue barrier was truly amazing. The remaining steel balls that shone with a blue light only caused ripples on the barrier. They didn't cause any substantial damage to the barrier at all.
Mariano, who was still struggling in the barrier, took out a silver cylinder from his pocket. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He tried his best to lift the silver cylinder up. It seemed like the silver cylinder was some kind of SOS tool.
Connor walked out of the pine forest with a smile. He saw Mariano's movements in the ice blue barrier, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping him.
"You are …?" Seeing Connor walk out of the pine forest, Mariano, who was trying his best to trigger the silver cylinder to send out a SOS signal, was shocked. His psychic power could tell that the aura of the man in front of him was the same as that of the "spy" from the Church of the Storm that he met this afternoon.
Mariano understood what was going on in that split second. His face instantly became as ferocious as a demon's. If he wasn't on the verge of death, he would have pounced on Connor and bit off a chunk of his flesh.
Connor smiled and shook his head. He ignored Mariano's ferocious expression and pointed at the silver cylinder in Mariano's hand. "You may not know this, but this is the Church of the Storm's Arias SOS. Once activated, you only have 30 seconds to call for help. You have already wasted 20 seconds. You only have 10 seconds left to call for help. No, you only have 9 seconds left! "
Hearing Connor's words, Mariano once again realized how precious time was to him now. He turned his attention back to the silver cylinder in his hand. He tried his best to launch the silver cylinder into the sky, but he could not do it at all. Three seconds later, with infinite longing for the world, infinite hatred and resentment towards Connor, Mariano, who was in the ice blue protective barrier, fell to the ground, no longer breathing!
Marguerite told Connor that Mariano was the only person in the Church of the Storm who became the team leader of the Arbiter Squad when he was only an intermediate Sorcerer's Apprentice. Since Mariano was so special, when Connor designed the alchemy mechanism, he put poison on the steel ball. As long as Mariano was poisoned by the steel ball, he wouldn't be able to use his mana. It was already a miracle that Mariano could trigger the barrier. It was impossible for him to call for help!
Although Mariano died under his own design and manipulation, Connor wasn't as proud as he thought he would be when he looked at the teddy bear in Mariano's arms.
Shaking his head again, Connor stretched out his palm and released the powerful black flame to attack the ice blue barrier. The ice blue barrier that was still protecting Mariano's body was indeed very powerful. Connor's black flame couldn't break through it even after burning it for half a minute. However, the ice blue barrier still didn't have a master to maintain it. Connor added a little more force, and the ice blue barrier immediately collapsed.
Glancing at the belt on Mariano's body, a hint of pity flashed in Connor's eyes, but he still controlled the black flame to return everything back to its original state.

"Bishop, something happened! Mariano's soul lamp has been extinguished! " At 1 a.m. in the Loen Church of the Storm, Bishop Adel's room, Ms. Lena's delicate face was full of seriousness. She spoke word by word to Bishop Adel of the Loen Church of the Storm, who still didn't know what had happened.
Upon hearing the words "Mariano's soul lamp has been extinguished", Bishop Adel, who originally didn't understand why Lena would appear in front of him at this time, suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. His old eyes immediately shone with a terrifying light!
"Do you have any clues so far?" Adel asked Ms. Lena in a deep voice.
"First of all, the person who killed Mariano is very professional. The soul lamp can only confirm that Mariano died in the city center of Loen. Apart from that, the soul lamp didn't give us any other information. We still need to find the crime scene and check it out. However, since the person can make Mariano's soul lamp lose its effect, the possibility of us finding valuable clues at the crime scene is very slim!"
Secondly … "Ms. Lena paused and looked at Adel deeply. She then lowered her voice and said to Adel," According to your orders, Mariano is now following Marguerite … "
"I know!" Adel said calmly. Although Adel's voice was calm, the murderous look in his old eyes betrayed his true thoughts. Adel didn't choose to hide his murderous intent and anger in front of his ally in the Loen Church of the Storm.
"Adel, listen to me! I'm also very sorry about Mariano's death. Everyone knows that you don't have a son, Adel. You made an exception and promoted Mariano to be the leader of the Arbiter Team. You wanted him to be your successor, but Mariano's death is now a fact that can't be changed. Due to this unforeseen event, I suggest that you stop your operation against Marguerite. It won't be too late for you to make a move against Marguerite after you investigate this matter thoroughly! "Ms. Lena tried her best to calm the murderous Adel down.
"You don't have to persuade me! I must kill Marguerite. Lena, you helped me this time, so I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, I will return this favor to you. If you don't help me, as long as you don't stop me, I won't blame you either! "Adel said coldly.
"Adel, I'll give you one last suggestion. You can make a decision after you calm down!" Although Adel seemed to have made up his mind, Lena still tried to save him.
"I'm very calm now, and I've never regretted my decision!" Adel said in a deep voice and walked out of his room.
