According to the description in 'Reyes's Alchemy', the known magic artifacts were divided into five levels. Level 1 magic artifacts were the weakest, while level 5 magic artifacts were the most powerful!
Most level 1 or 2 magic artifacts did not require the user to be a Magus, as even mortals could use them. Once a magic artifact reached level 3 or above, 99% of the time it required the user to be a Magus. Of course, this condition was not absolute. For example, according to Reyes Alchemy, the Storm Scepter, a level 5 magic artifact passed down through the generations of the Church of Storms, did not necessarily need to be used by a wizard. Mortals could use it too, but the effect of a wizard using it would be far greater than a mortal using it.
Now that he had confirmed that Charles was a mortal, it was a very important matter for Connor. According to the consumption of magic artifacts, if Charles was a mortal, then the purple light shield in his hand would most likely be a level 2 magic artifact. Because he was a mortal, he did not have any magic power. The purple light shield consumed his own energy, so without the support of a Magus, Charles would not be able to use it for long!
Hiding behind the tombstone, Connor's eyes flashed with a sharp light. His soul force probed Charles, but he didn't feel any magic power fluctuations from him. Connor believed in the results of his investigation. He was sure that Charles was a mortal!
At this moment, Charles was holding the purple light shield in his hand, carefully searching every corner of the graveyard, hoping to find traces of Connor.
As time passed, Connor, who was hiding behind the tombstone, carefully held his breath. He now hoped that the purple light shield in Charles' hand would run out of energy quickly. Although he had his innate spell, Shadow Shackles, as an ultimate trump card, Connor had a strong premonition that Charles had other tricks up his sleeve besides the purple light shield.
When the purple light shield in Charles' hand ran out of energy, it would be time for Connor to launch a full-scale counterattack!
Charles couldn't help but become a little impatient when he still couldn't find Connor. A fine layer of sweat appeared on his well-maintained face. His originally swift pace had also become somewhat sluggish.
Sensing this with his spiritual force, Connor could not help but squint his eyes. The Gwendelin badge was pinned to his chest, and the shadow dagger was also in his hand.
Although Connor suspected that Charles was putting on an act and deliberately showing a flaw to lure the snake out of its hole, he had no choice but to come out because Charles had already searched the three tombstones in front of him. It was estimated that he would find his current hiding place in a dozen seconds.
* Thud! Thud! Thud! *
Hearing Charles' approaching footsteps, Connor's expression turned ruthless. He chanted in a low voice, and black smoke suddenly appeared on his palm. In the next instant, the black smoke condensed into two huge chains carved with mysterious runes, and swept towards Charles.
Seeing the black chains gradually approaching, Charles' originally anxious face suddenly revealed a smug smile. His left hand held the purple light shield in front of him, and a hexagonal crystal flickering with dark red light appeared in his right hand. He threw it at Connor.
"Goddammit!" Seeing the hexagonal crystal flying towards him, Connor did not know what it was, but even an idiot knew that if Charles threw it at him at this critical moment, it would definitely not be anything good. It had to be a sure-kill move!
Without any hesitation, Connor's spiritual force decisively controlled the Shadow Shackles to block in front of him.
The hexagonal crystal flickering with dark red light that Charles threw suddenly exploded before it even reached Connor!
* Boom! *
After a loud noise, Connor was thrown more than ten meters away by the terrifying blast of the explosion like a broken kite.
"Haha, little bastard …"
Seeing Connor fly away, Charles suddenly laughed out loud. However, before he could say anything, he lowered his head in shock and looked at the shadow dagger that was inserted in his heart.
A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Charles turned his head stiffly and looked at his left hand. At this time, the powerful purple light shield on his left hand had disappeared. Charles murmured, "My little Sarne …" Immediately, he fell straight down with an unwilling expression.
After flying for a while, Connor stood up shakily and slowly walked to Charles. Looking at Charles who was lying on the ground, dead, Connor had a complicated expression and shook his head.
To be honest! He really didn't expect things to develop like this. According to Kang An's original plan, with his strength, he could easily control an old man like Charles. Then he would use the Mind-manipulating Skill to find the memory of the black market from Charles' memory. Finally, he would erase the information about himself from Charles' memory without anyone noticing.
However, it was too late! After all, man proposes, God disposes!
Just now, when he had a premonition that Charles still had a backup plan, Connor also played a little trick. When the Shadow Shackles attacked, it was too loud and couldn't be concealed. Therefore, Connor used the Shadow Shackles as a feint to attract Charles' attention, and then secretly controlled the shadow dagger to attack Charles.
The dark red hexagonal crystal that Charles threw out was simply too powerful. If Connor had hesitated just now and didn't use the Shadow Shackles to block in front of him, then Connor might have been blasted to the point where there wouldn't even be a whole corpse left!
Although that thing was terrifyingly powerful, Connor was lucky! Under the double layer of protection of the Shadow Shackles and Gwendelin Badge, although Connor was also affected and looked to be in a terrible state, it wasn't a big deal. He would be able to recover after a few days of rest. Moreover, that thing's power naturally affected a large area. Although most of the power affected Connor, a considerable amount of it affected Charles.
The reason why the purple light shield that Charles released didn't block Connor's shadow dagger was because Charles was a mortal. He didn't have any magic power to support the release of the purple light shield. The purple light shield was completely supported by the body's own energy!
Blocking Connor's attack had already consumed a lot of the purple light shield's energy. Without the support of a Magus' magic power, after the purple light shield blocked the explosion of the hexagonal crystal, it didn't have enough energy to support the purple light shield anymore and automatically shut down!
