Even though this had happened so suddenly that Connor was caught off guard, he had been in the Sorcerer World for so many years. He had experienced his fair share of trials and tribulations, both open and covert.
Therefore, in the face of such a sudden situation, Connor didn't panic at all. He carefully opened his space ring with his power of the Will and established a connection with his Silver Pendant and Castilla so that he could use them to deal with any sudden attacks. At the same time, he pretended that nothing had happened and quietly cleaned up the traces he had left behind in the forest.
Time ticked by, and Connor was almost done cleaning up the traces he'd left behind in the forest. However, the Magus hiding in the surrounding forest, who had a strong killing intent towards him, still did not choose to make a move. This caused Connor's heart to sink. He was a little unclear as to why this person hiding in the dark would appear here, and what exactly were his intentions!
First of all, Connor was sure that the person hiding in the forest was very strong. Compared to the grey-robed old man Adolf, he definitely wasn't inferior. Otherwise, his power of the Will wouldn't have been unable to find any traces of the other party at such a close distance.
Secondly, Connor came to Aksa Forest to practice his spells today. He didn't tell anyone, including Varga, about this matter. Aksa Forest was the second largest forest in the north of the Kaman Empire and occupied a huge area. Connor chose the northeast corner of Aksa Forest to practice his spells on the spur of the moment. Therefore, the person hiding in the dark couldn't have been here in advance.
Since it wasn't an ambush, it was impossible for Connor to follow him here. Connor himself was an alchemist, so it was basically impossible for someone to put tracking equipment on him. If the other party had the ability, there was no need to follow Connor. They could have just killed Connor directly. There was no need to go through so much trouble. If they were tracking him through smell, it might be possible elsewhere. However, Connor was now in Aksa Forest, where there were all kinds of magical beasts and thousands of wild beasts. In such a complex environment, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to accurately find a person's smell. It was too difficult.
After thinking about it, Connor realized that the person hiding in the forest had the highest possibility of meeting him by chance. This answer sounded ridiculous. How could a person who met you in Aksa Forest have such a strong killing intent towards you? However, after thinking about it carefully, Connor realized that this was very likely the truth!
If the truth was really a chance encounter, then it would be very interesting. During the whole process of practicing his spells, Connor didn't use any valuable items. Therefore, the possibility of the person hiding in the dark being tempted by money was very low. Even if the other party was tempted by money and wanted to kill Connor, their killing intent wouldn't be so strong.
Although the killing intent just now was fleeting, Connor clearly felt that the other party must know him and had an unresolvable grudge against him. Otherwise, the killing intent wouldn't be so strong and cold, as if they couldn't wait to cut him into pieces.
Realizing this, Connor also became curious about the identity of the person hiding in the dark. He didn't seem to have offended such a strong person. Moreover, he should have never seen this person before. Otherwise, such a strong person would have left a deep impression on him.
Although Connor had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he still didn't find any traces of the person hiding in the dark until he cleaned up all the traces he left behind. This awkward situation made Connor make up his mind. No matter who the other party was and what their purpose was, he would force them out now. It was impossible for the other party to go back to the safe house of the Ferguson Family and meet up with Varga while he was being followed, which would put Varga in danger.
Thinking of this, Connor stopped pretending. He directly took out a smoke bomb from his space ring and threw it on the ground. In the blink of an eye, gray smoke filled the forest. Under the cover of the smoke, Connor went out of his space ring again. He took out three alchemy bombs and threw them at the three places he thought the mysterious person was most likely to be hiding in the forest.
Perhaps Connor was lucky, or perhaps the mysterious person and Connor thought alike. The place where the mysterious person was hiding was a crooked tree, which happened to be one of the three places where Connor threw the alchemy bombs. Seeing the alchemy bombs flying towards him, the mysterious person dodged without hesitation.
At this time, Connor clearly saw the appearance of that mysterious person. He was wearing a traditional robe of the Odin Empire and was close to two meters tall. He had a grave and stern face that looked like a sculpture. The only surprising thing was that he only had one hand. His left hand was empty under the Odin Empire's robe.
Seeing the appearance of the mysterious person, Connor was sure that he didn't know him. Moreover, he had never met this man before today. Although he was curious about why the mysterious person had such a strong killing intent towards him, Connor understood that he wasn't a match for the mysterious person. He didn't hesitate to make the first move. With a thought, he sent a spiritual storm towards the mysterious person.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the alchemy bombs thrown by Connor exploded one after another. For a moment, the forest was filled with shock waves from the explosions. However, even though it was so chaotic, the one-armed man did not panic in the slightest in the face of Connor's Mental Energy attack. He seemed to have long been prepared for Connor's Mental Energy attack. With a thought, the string of glass beads on his right wrist blossomed with multicolored light and blocked Connor's Mental Energy storm for the one-armed man.
Connor sighed inwardly when he saw that his Spiritual Storm had no effect at all and that he had successfully forced the other party out. He knew that there was nothing he could do to the other party. Soon after, the black mage robe on his body trembled and he was sent flying a hundred meters away.
And that one-armed man with a strong killing intent towards Connor hesitated when he saw Connor running away. But in the end, he didn't make a move. He only stood there and coldly looked at the gradually disappearing Connor, letting him escape.
