"Marguerite, so it's you!"
Old Victor, whose escape plan was ruined, looked back and saw Margaret, whose hair was disheveled, and her body was swaying unsteadily under the wall of the secret room. She was glaring at him coldly, and the mask that was a mental protection enchanted item that was made with the "Mithril Mind Technique" was lying at Margaret's feet in pieces. Old Victor's heart sank, and he seemed to have thought of something. Then, he opened his mouth and said thoughtfully, "What are you doing?
"No wonder you didn't die when I asked Connor, Martina, and Emoson to ambush you at the Zach Textile Factory! So you're the helper that Connor hid in the dark! Marguerite, when did you hook up with Connor? "
Old Victor never expected that the mysterious person that Connor hired to assassinate him was Marguerite. However, what shocked him even more was that Marguerite, as a Priest of the Church of the Storm, actually practiced the forbidden blood witchcraft. Didn't this woman know that she would die a horrible death if the Church knew about her secret?
When Margaret saw that her dagger didn't manage to stab Old Victor, she immediately withdrew the dagger back into her hand. Then, she met Old Victor's gaze and said, "That's right, it's me. How is it? When you killed Sister Eirinn back then, did you ever think that you would have such a day?"
After seeing through Marguerite's identity, Old Victor didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave the secret chamber. He met Marguerite's murderous gaze and stared deeply at Marguerite. Then, he continued, "Eirinn? I remember now. You're the spy sent by the Church! In that case, Marguerite, as a Priest of the Church of the Storm, you practiced the forbidden blood witchcraft just to avenge her by killing me? You two are really close sisters! "
"Hmph!"
Old Victor's reply seemed to have touched Marguerite's sore spot. Marguerite snorted coldly and a furious expression surfaced in her eyes. She didn't reply. Instead, she extended her hand and the rune dagger transformed into a ray of bloody light that shot out from her hand towards Old Victor's face.
Seeing that Marguerite attacked again, Old Victor no longer held any hope in his heart. He knew that between him and Marguerite, only one of them could walk out of this secret chamber alive! Soon after, Old Victor's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Facing the blood-colored dagger that was coming at him, Old Victor took out his cane and started to mutter.
As Old Victor chanted, a translucent golden light wall appeared in front of him. However, it seemed like the rune dagger that Marguerite used wasn't an ordinary offensive magical item. When the dagger came into contact with the light wall, the light wall in front of Old Victor cracked even though it didn't crumble immediately. It seemed like it wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
Old Victor saw the crumbling of the light wall, but he didn't seem to be worried at all. He extended his finger and tapped lightly on Marguerite. Instantly, a pained expression appeared on Marguerite's face. Under the impact of the 'kerosene lamp' explosion, although she didn't die immediately, she was severely injured.
The silver mask that protected her mental strength was completely destroyed by the impact of the explosion. Without the protection of the mask, Marguerite could only rely on her mental strength to defend against Old Victor's mental strength attack.
When Old Victor saw that his mental strength attack on Marguerite was effective, he couldn't help but feel delighted. Adhering to the principle of 'taking advantage of your weakness', Old Victor quickly gathered his mental strength and launched a torrent of mental strength attacks on Marguerite.
Under Old Victor's continuous mental strength attacks, Marguerite's seven orifices were bleeding profusely. If it were anyone else, they would be in a sorry state. However, when it was on Marguerite, it gave her a poignant feeling.
Gritting her teeth, Marguerite endured Old Victor's mental strength attack and chanted a short but clear incantation.
"Manzu Keita!"
As soon as Marguerite finished her incantation, all the blood on her body turned into blood droplets and surged towards the dagger that was attacking the golden light wall in front of Old Victor. With the support of Marguerite's blood, the power of the blood glow on the dagger increased by a few folds!
"Bang!"
As soon as the blood glow on the dagger increased, Old Victor's final defense, the golden light wall in front of him, was instantly destroyed. Without the golden light wall, the dagger that was strengthened by Marguerite's blood instantly pierced towards Old Victor's heart under his incredulous gaze.

Loen East District, Land Street.
Under the cover of the night, Connor, who was dressed in black, quietly sneaked into No. 16 Land Street, which was Ferguson's apartment.
After entering the room, Connor checked the furnishings in the apartment vigilantly. Although he hadn't been back for some time, the furnishings and structure of the apartment were forever preserved in the depths of his memory. He couldn't forget it for a long time. Now that he was revisiting his old place, Connor's mood was very complicated.
During the few days of hiding in the safe house, Connor had already discussed with Varga. This time, Connor and Varga had injured Old Victor together. The two of them definitely couldn't stay in Loen any longer. A week later, it would be the half-year agreement that they had made with the Kalarov couple. After handing the Salerin potion to the couple, he and Varga planned to leave Loen!
And this time, after returning to Ferguson's apartment, Connor estimated that he wouldn't be able to return to his first foothold in this world in a short period of time. If he was unlucky and died in Reyes's hands, he probably wouldn't be able to return for the rest of his life.
Previously, according to the information that Reyes left in the crystal ball, Connor analyzed that Reyes's purpose was related to the Abyss Secret Method. He wanted Connor to help him do something after breaking through to become an official Wizard using the Abyss Secret Method.
So now, Connor decided to return to Ferguson's apartment according to Reyes's instructions and take away the cultivation resources that Reyes had prepared for him to break through to become an official Wizard. This decision wasn't made on a whim, but after careful consideration, Connor made this choice! After all, to Reyes, Connor would only be of help to him after he became an official Wizard.
