Marguerite was very satisfied with the mask's ability to defend against Old Victor's mental attack. However, judging from Old Victor's reaction, could it be that the mental protection enchanted item that Connor made for her had a powerful background?
Realizing this problem and thinking about the information that Martina had told her before … Marguerite pondered for a few seconds and realized why Old Victor was so shocked. A complicated expression appeared in her eyes under the mask.
Martina realized where the problem was. On the other side, Old Victor, who knew more information, quickly came to his senses after a short period of shock. He said with a complicated expression, "So, you're the person that Connor found. I've really underestimated this little guy. No wonder he had the guts to confront me head-on. It turns out that he has a good helper like you in the dark!"
Old Victor's exclamation further proved what Marguerite thought just now. As expected, the refining technique of the mental protection enchanted item that Connor made for her was closely related to Connor's mentor, who was also the master of this old guy in front of her. Perhaps this so-called "Mithril Mental Technique" was even created by that legendary existence!
After exclaiming, Old Victor had to face reality. His mental attack failed and didn't achieve the expected effect. On the other hand, the blood-red stripe controlled by Marguerite was less than half a meter away from him under the orange light of the "kerosene lamp".
Feeling the horrifying power from the blood-red stripe, even the cunning Old Victor couldn't help but feel helpless at this moment. At this moment, he had already used up all his means. However, this mysterious person that Connor found to cast the horrifying forbidden blood witchcraft obviously knew his means very well and had prepared corresponding means to defend against it. Obviously, if he couldn't sit still and change his mind, he, Old Victor, would fall into Connor Ferguson's trap and die in this secret chamber.
At the thought of death, Old Victor's gaze became determined. He wasn't afraid of death. After living for almost a hundred years, he had already seen through life and death. What he couldn't let go of was that he had worked hard to cultivate for dozens of years just to become an official Magus and see what the scenery was like. If he died without achieving this, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace!
Looking at the orange light of the "kerosene lamp" in his hand, Old Victor shook his head helplessly. Then, he decisively slapped the "kerosene lamp" with his palm. In the next second, the energy wave released by the "kerosene lamp" suddenly became incomparably violent. At the same time, the orange light of the "kerosene lamp" suddenly increased dramatically. The five blood-red stripe that was within the range of the orange light inevitably began to disintegrate under the explosion of the orange light!
Sensing the changes in the situation, Marguerite's expression under the silver mask changed abruptly. She had never thought that Old Victor would still have such a trick up his sleeve even after falling to such a state.
Even though the situation seemed to have taken a huge turn, Old Victor's expression was still extremely solemn. He didn't relax at all. After quickly destroying the five blood-red stripe released by Marguerite, Old Victor waved his hand and actually threw the extremely precious "kerosene lamp" in his hand towards Marguerite!
This action of Old Victor's was even more out of Marguerite's expectations than the sudden explosion of the "kerosene lamp". Even though she didn't know what kind of treasure this "kerosene lamp" was, from the might of the "kerosene lamp" and the degree to which Old Victor treasured it, Marguerite already knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item. Even though it wasn't a tier-3 magic artifact, it was definitely not comparable to an ordinary tier-2 magic artifact. How could Old Victor throw away such a treasure just because he said so?
Even though Marguerite's reaction wasn't slow, she didn't expect Old Victor to actually do this. Therefore, even though she tried her best to dodge the "kerosene lamp" that was thrown towards her, the "kerosene lamp" still exploded under Old Victor's control not far away from her.
The terrifying power of the "kerosene lamp"'s self-explosion instantly swept across the secret chamber. Marguerite who was the closest to the center of the explosion instantly released a thick blood mist from her body and wrapped her into a blood cocoon. However, under the protection of the blood cocoon, Marguerite who was under the protection of the blood cocoon still fell heavily onto the wall of the secret chamber without any warning under the impact of the explosion!
The terrifying explosion caused by the self-explosion of a demonized item wouldn't be spared just because one was its user or its owner. Therefore, as the initiator of the explosion, Old Victor naturally wasn't spared. However, since he was the one who initiated the explosion and the center of the explosion wasn't very close to him, he didn't suffer much compared to Marguerite. Nevertheless, Old Victor still tasted blood in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick blood.
Although Old Victor's face was as pale as a sheet, he still endured the pain in his body and dashed out of the secret chamber. Although his injuries were lighter than Margret's due to the impact of the explosion of the 'kerosene lamp', his injuries from the battle with Connor had worsened. Moreover, this' kerosene lamp 'was a demonized item that he had refined for a long time. Old Victor's mental strength had also suffered some backlash from the explosion, and it wasn't completely unscathed.
Therefore, no matter whether Marguerite was killed by the "kerosene lamp"'s self-explosion or not, the only way for Old Victor to survive was to run away and find a safe place to treat his injuries. Otherwise, even if Marguerite was dead, he might be killed if he didn't treat his injuries in time.
However, as soon as Viktor took two steps forward, he sensed a murderous aura behind him. Old Viktor, who was heavily injured, didn't have the time to think. He was forced to stop running out of the secret chamber and dodged to the side.
The moment Old Victor dodged, he saw an ancient-looking dagger engraved with runes flying towards him from where he was standing a moment ago. It was none other than the dagger that Marguerite had used to "injure" herself just now.
