Kohler's soul almost jumped out of his body when the blonde boy uttered a Byzantine spell, "Makarec". Hundreds of ice blades floating in front of the blonde boy shot towards him at the same time.
When Kohler saw this, three words appeared in his mind, "Mertens Ice Blade Technique!"
Although Kohler didn't know why the blonde boy in front of him, who had attacked the Church of the Storm's secret base and robbed the church of the important information they obtained from the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, he didn't have time to think about it under the threat of death. He immediately patted the staff in his hand heavily. The staff that was embedded with an ice crystal ball instantly glowed brightly and condensed ten palm-sized ice shields in front of Kohler to protect him.
As soon as Kohler's ice shields were formed, the ice blades controlled by Marguerite immediately arrived. The ice blades collided with the ice shields, and countless crisp sounds were heard.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! "
Although Kohler hurriedly summoned ten ice shields to help him resist the attack of the "Meltens Ice Blade Technique", there were still a few ice blades that broke through the defense of the ice shields and pierced Kohler's skinny body. Unfortunately, although these three ice blades pierced Kohler's body, Kohler avoided the vital parts. They only pierced Kohler's arms, stomach, and calves, which didn't affect Kohler at all.
Seeing that her carefully planned attack didn't cause too much damage to Kohler as she expected, Marguerite could only curse in her heart. She then took out a light purple pill from her space ring and put it into her mouth to calm her blood and Qi that was tumbling in her body due to the forceful use of the Mertens Ice Blade Technique. However, she didn't have the strength to chase after the injured Kohler.
On the other hand, although Kohler was watching the golden-haired boy in front of him heal his wounds, he had already suffered two hidden losses in a row. Coupled with the three bloody wounds on his body caused by the ice blade, he understood how powerful this golden-haired boy was. He didn't dare to act rashly. He could only look at the golden-haired boy in front of him with vigilance and doubt. Then, he mobilized the Fa Li in his body to secretly heal his wounds and stop the bleeding.
For a moment, Kohler and Marguerite, who had just fought a life-and-death battle because of their different standpoints, fell into a short silence and confronted each other.
Although Kohler was sure that he had never seen the blonde boy in front of him before today, judging from the Mertens Ice Blade Technique that the blonde boy used and the familiar air that the blonde boy exuded during the battle, Kohler, the skinny old man in a white robe, began to look at Marguerite with suspicion. After a few seconds, he stared at the blonde boy in front of him and then took the initiative to break the silence. He asked tentatively, "Are you that woman Marguerite?"
Seeing that Kohler, Edward's number one loyal hound, had recognized her identity, Marguerite's eyes gradually turned cold. She knew that since Kohler had recognized her, she couldn't run anymore. Either she or Kohler had to stay here.
Otherwise, once Kohler left this place and told Edward about her current situation, there was a high chance that Edward would personally take action. And with her current physical condition, she definitely wouldn't be able to run far. When the time came, there was a ninety percent chance that she would be captured by Edward. Therefore, if she wanted to live, she had to silence Kohler. Only then, even if Edward knew that the information had been leaked, he wouldn't know that she was the one who did it. Only then could she successfully escape from Loen.
Although the blonde young man opposite him didn't answer, the cold murderous intent in his eyes when he uttered Marguerite's name made Kohler even more convinced of his discovery. Therefore, after a few flickers of light in his eyes, he made a seemingly absurd decision. He gave up chasing after Marguerite in front of him and turned to run without hesitation.
Seeing that Kohler had abandoned her, Marguerite, who had already made up her mind, didn't feel any joy in her heart. Instead, her murderous intent soared. She began to chant an incantation, "Pasicarus … Mositabale … Cain Leandro."
As Marguerite chanted the incantation, the energy waves emitted from her body became more and more intense. This also affected the injuries on Marguerite's body that hadn't healed yet. A stream of red blood flowed out from Marguerite's mouth, but Marguerite didn't care about it at all. She continued to chant the incantation.
On the other side, Kohler, who belonged to the Church of the Storm like Marguerite, heard the familiar incantation from Marguerite's mouth. A look of surprise appeared on his old face. He immediately sped up and fled into the distance, desperately trying to escape the range of Marguerite's spell before Marguerite finished her preparation.
After recognizing Marguerite's identity, the reason why he didn't follow Edward's instructions a few days ago to kill Marguerite on the spot without asking for the reason and chose to escape was entirely because executing Edward's orders on Marguerite now was not worth it for Kohler!
As a colleague who had worked together before, Kohler was well aware of how strong Marguerite was. His immediate superior, Bishop Edward of the Loen Church of the Storm, had arranged for many people to kill Marguerite, but none of them succeeded. And now, although Marguerite was seriously injured, from the situation just now, Marguerite not only didn't fall to the point of being at the mercy of others, but she even maintained a decent combat strength.
If this situation continued, Kohler was very clear that even if he could kill Marguerite, he might be dragged to death by Marguerite. Even if he was lucky enough to escape with his life, he would inevitably be seriously injured by Marguerite's desperate counterattack. His vitality would be greatly damaged, and it wouldn't take long for him to die.
And although Kohler was old and had no hope of breaking through to become an official Magus, if he took good care of himself, he could still live for eight to ten years. In fact, the reason why Kohler was staying away from the headquarters of the Loen Church of the Storm and in a semi-retired state in the suburbs of the Michia Church was because Kohler couldn't bear to part with the resources he received from the Church of the Storm when he was in office to extend his lifespan. On the other hand, he wanted a compromise to live a peaceful life after retirement.
