Chapter 44: Kill You at Your Peak (Part 1)

(Additional chapter for Shi Niao's update talisman. Man, you're really pushing me~)

A male mage in a brand new ivory robe walked into the hall. His golden brown half-long hair was neatly combed, and his flowing bangs fluttered elegantly as he walked. There were two people following him.

One was a female sorceress in a black and white lady's dress with a white mask on her face.

The other was a fat bald male mage. Although he was the last one to walk, he was the most arrogant with his big belly.

The eyes of the surrounding mages were all focused on the leading male mage, and the small commotion was because most of the women at the scene were whispering.

Sabina nudged her best friend with her elbow, "This guy is more attractive..." She licked her lips, "I have forgotten about the white-haired boy."

Philippa was one of the few female sorcerers who was not confused by the male beauty. She looked at the elegant Vigfortz and frowned to warn her friend: "Sabina! Take back your coquettishness. I always feel that guy is like a venomous snake in the shadow..."

"Tsk~" Sabina didn't care, "Venomous snakes are fine, I haven't played with cold-blooded animals yet..."

On the other side, Dean Tissaya was instructing her students: "Marvin, try not to look at Delia, and don't mention her mask."

Marvin gave the teacher an inquiring look.

"Alas... That's a good student, especially in the Department of Psychology. What a pity..." Tissaya explained: "There was an explosion during a ruins exploration, and her face was destroyed... and illusions can't be used here, so..."

Since entering the Gastang Palace, Marvin's magic ability has been suppressed.

Except for the deep blue magic, other magic cannot be used at all, and it is even shown as gray and unavailable in the skill list.

But the deep blue magic is just suppressed, not unusable.

According to Marvin's experience, it is suppressed by about two-thirds.

It is very difficult to cast deep blue magic, and the casting effect and spell strength will be reduced by more than half.

This magic-forbidden barrier is really powerful, much more powerful than the magic-blocking gold.

This is good news for him.

Marvin nodded and agreed to the teacher's request.

He was not interested in why the woman wore a mask. He was actually looking at the leader, Viggo Fortz.

Watching him being surrounded by the crowd, he patiently dealt with the welcome and flattery around him with a friendly smile.

Marvin felt that if Viggo's attributes could be digitized, the charm attribute would definitely be above 50.

The teacher next to him exclaimed, "In addition to being excellent in mental magic, Delia is also a great painter. Look over there..."

She pointed to an oil painting on the wall, in which a man and a woman met in the woods.

"That painting, "The Meeting of Craignan of Lord and Laura Doron", is her work. Haha... that is, your grandfather and grandmother..."

Marvin asked the teacher: "Who is that bald fat guy? He looks tough."

"Haha..." Tishaya pouted, "Alto Terranova, just a very opportunistic person, ignore him."

The dean leaned closer and lowered his voice and said: "He has severe bad breath and it can't be cured. Eh~"

She shook off the goose bumps on her body and put on the leader's airs because Vigfortz came over.

...

Finally dealing with the flattery of the people around him, Vigfortz didn't have a trace of impatience.

Compared to being despised, driven away, ignored, and becoming the focus of everyone's attention when he was a teenager, this feeling is too wonderful!

He didn't even notice that Lydia had left.

But even if he noticed, he wouldn't care. Lydia always knew where to be in what occasion. This is also what he appreciates most.

And now it is obviously his stage, and everyone else has to stand aside.

That fat man with bad breath? He is just a opportunist who curries favor with the powerful, so he naturally doesn't care.

However, before enjoying the stage alone, he has to meet the stage builders, the four old guys from the Art and Craft Association.

One of them didn't come? It doesn't matter.

Eh? Who is the young man next to Dean Veris?

Ice blue pupils, silver hair... Why does he look a bit like the little prince of Temeria?

I heard that the prince is the student of Dean Veris...

The two men looked at each other, and Marvin's murderous intent surged in his heart. Vigfortz felt a chill in his heart and stopped.

Marvin slapped his chest with his right hand and teleported.

The distance of 7 meters was reached in the blink of an eye. Marvin pulled out a long knife from the inventory and chopped it head-on.

Vig has already propped up a magic shield.

Bang!

The fragile spherical shield was crumbling.

"Ah!~~~"

"Magic is above!"

These were the exclamations of the people around.

"Marvin!" This is Teacher Tishaya.

She knew about the grudge between the two of them, but she didn't expect her student to be so tough, and she didn't see where the long sword came from...

"Amavit!" This is Gerhard of Eller.

This rich old man didn't understand the situation at all. Why did they start fighting? It's still a wizard's fighting method.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Vigfortz's face. He was very anxious. The magic was severely restricted. This shield couldn't hold up for two times.

No matter what, he had to escape from Gastang Palace as soon as possible.

Marvin never underestimated Vig's magic ability. He naturally knew that the other party had only one way to survive, escape.

After failing to make a success with a knife, he turned around and kicked with a whip kick.

Bang, a kick sent Vigo flying sideways with his shield, making him further away from the door.

Crack... snap, the magic shield finally broke, and Vigofortz stumbled into the crowd.

He pointed at Marvin with his left hand and exclaimed: "You are the one..." and secretly released a small fireball with his right hand.

Marvin caught up with him in two steps, and a ball of cold air burst out from his left hand, crushed the fireball with one hand, and slashed with his right hand.

Dang, the knife and stick intersected.

Vigofortz took out a silver-white metal long stick from somewhere, blocked it, pressed down with his upper hand, and smashed the tip of the stick towards Marvin's head.

Marvin had already raised his right foot and kicked straight.

With a muffled thud, the wizard was kicked away, knocking over an unlucky guy and hitting him against the wall.

Hula, the crowd immediately spread out.

Wow... cough~

Vigo vomited blood...

"Be careful..." A woman screamed behind Marvin, but she was covered by others before she finished shouting.

Dangdangdang, the straight knife and the long stick crossed three times.

This mage used the stick quite well. If it weren't for the suppression of strength and agility, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

The sound of high-heeled shoes running quickly sounded behind Marvin.

Marvin was distracted and listened to the distance of the person behind him. His hands were a little slow, and he was stabbed in the left rib by a stick.

Marvin rolled back and saw that the person behind him was Lydia. She was rushing towards him with a small dagger.

When Marvin stood up, he used the rabbit kicking eagle. Bang, how could the slender female sorceress resist the kick with 37% attack power, and the whole person was kicked into the air.

Marvin turned over and slashed with a knife, and blood splattered...

"Don't!" Francesca shouted nonsense and rushed over to stop him, but was stopped by Tishaya...

Marvin threw an ice arrow with his hand, and the white ice arrow passed through the flying blood and was dyed red and shot towards the opponent.

At this time, Viggo Fortz freed his left hand to cast a spell on Marvin, and ran towards the entrance of the hall.

Puff~, the ice arrow comparable to a bullet hit Viggo's shoulder, and Marvin was also hit by magic.

[You are under illusion attack, and are currently judging both the mental and sensory attributes...]

[Your mental attribute (71) is lower than the opponent's (74), and your sensory attribute (68) crushes the opponent's (32), so the judgment fails. You have been affected by the illusion. ]

Puff, Lydia's body fell to the ground, and a huge wound was cut from the side of her neck to her chest. She died quite easily.

Snap, the white mask with a few drops of blood fell off, revealing the half-destroyed face.

What Marvin saw at this time was not much different from what he saw just now, the only difference was that Viggo Fortz was gone.
