Although she was in despair, Martina still set her eyes on Connor after thinking for a while. Without a doubt, Connor, who was bound by the Eye of Arbitration with her, was her greatest reliance and protection. If Connor lost to Old Victor, she would definitely die. However, if Connor won against Old Victor, she might still have a chance to escape to Khoy New Continent and start anew after recovering from her injuries! Martina had no choice but to accept the fact that Connor was the Eye of Arbitration with Old Victor.
Thinking of this, Martina couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope. After pondering for a while, she immediately whispered to Connor before Old Victor came closer, "Just now when we were in Semedo's mansion, I used an alchemy bomb to blow up Old Victor. In order to chase after me in the secret passage, this old man must have forcefully passed through the shockwave formed by the alchemy bomb. Therefore, Old Victor must be injured!"
Martina's tip-off instantly alerted Connor. A glint flashed across his eyes. If Martina wasn't lying, Old Victor's current strength would be a huge question mark. If that was the case, Connor would have to adjust his strategy to deal with this old thing. Connor didn't think that Old Victor would let him off the hook for the sudden appearance of Old Victor. It was an unrealistic fantasy at all!
When Old Victor was about 10 meters away from Connor, he glanced at Connor and Martina who was behind him with his muddy eyes. He then said faintly, "Young Master Connor, your appearance here really surprised this old man …"
"Steward Viktor, I'm really surprised that you're here!" Although his heart was filled with dread towards this old fellow who was already an advanced apprentice when he first stepped into the Sorcerer World, at least on the surface, Connor was still talking cheerfully and wittily, not showing any signs of weakness as he spoke to Old Victor.
Old Victor shook his head after listening to Connor's words. He said, "Young Master Connor, Martina is a spy sent by the Duke's faction in Loen. I don't understand why you are with her, but if you leave now, I can pretend that you have never appeared here. You won't report to Master!"
Seeing that Old Victor was still trying to threaten him by reporting to Reyes at this time, Connor couldn't help but sneer. He said calmly, "Steward Victor, I'm really touched by your care. But since you are so magnanimous, why don't you give me another 5 minutes to listen to Martina's words? What do you think?"
After Connor finished speaking, Old Victor didn't reply immediately. Instead, he took a deep look at Connor and said with pity, "Young Master Connor, are you really going to do that?"
"What else can I do?" Connor asked with a smile. Before he could finish his sentence, a silver light flashed across Connor's hand. With a thought, with the support of the Silver Light Pendant's Mental Energy, Connor instantly launched a Mental Energy attack at Old Victor who was ten meters away!
Before Old Victor appeared, the cautious Connor had already secretly taken out the Silver Light Pendant from his space ring and was ready to strike at any time. Seeing Old Victor's appearance, Connor knew that the battle between him and Old Victor was inevitable. Even if he sold Martina to Old Victor, would Old Victor let Connor Ferguson go after he killed Martina? Since he would have to fight no matter what, he, Conor Ferguson, might as well strike first and gain the upper hand!
Connor didn't believe it. He and old Victor were both advanced wizard apprentices. No matter how strong old Victor was, how could he be stronger than him?
As for Connor's sudden spiritual attack, Old Victor didn't seem to be aware of it and continued to smile at Connor. However, just as Connor's spiritual attack was about to reach him, Old Victor's body emitted a golden radiance which helped Old Victor resist the spiritual attack. Under the protection of the golden radiance, Old Victor still had a faint smile on his face, as if Connor's attack had no effect on him!
Looking at the smile on Old Victor's face and the golden radiance on his body, Connor didn't say anything. He only waved his hand and held the Castilla Magic Staff in his hand.
The reason why Connor found out from Martina that Old Victor's mental strength was very strong and that he even used a mental strength attack to launch a sneak attack on Old Victor was, to a large extent, because he understood that a sneak attack wouldn't have much of an effect on Old Victor. With Old Victor's craftiness, he wouldn't be defeated by a sneak attack. Therefore, he might as well use this opportunity to test Old Victor and see if Old Victor's mental strength was as strong as what Martina said it to be!
As for now, judging from the golden radiance on Old Victor's body, Connor believed that Martina's words were true. Old Victor was the first person that Connor had seen who could successfully resist his spiritual attack without using any spiritual defensive items. However, although Old Victor maintained his smile in the golden radiance, in Connor's eyes, he was just deliberately mystifying him.
Although Old Victor's Spiritual Force wasn't weak, there was still a gap between his Spiritual Force and a proper Spiritual Force Sorcerer like him. Although Old Victor was able to withstand the Spiritual Force attack with his own Spiritual Force, it definitely wasn't easy for him!
"Young Master Connor, I'll give you one last chance. Are you really going to protect this traitor behind you who betrayed Master?" Old Victor, who was shrouded in golden radiance, looked at Connor and said indifferently. At this moment, his originally stooped figure had completely straightened up. His pair of turbid old eyes also looked extremely clear, flashing with undisguised murderous intent. He released a powerful aura that suppressed Connor!
Although Connor wasn't afraid of Old Victor's powerful aura, the smile on his face couldn't help but disappear completely. He had imagined how powerful Old Victor was, but now that they were in a real battle, the powerful strength that Old Victor displayed still made Connor's heart tighten!
"I've never thought of protecting Martina. I just want to hear her out. If she's done, it's none of my business how you want to deal with her, Steward Victor!" Connor said in a deep voice.
