quicksilver blood

Chapter 160: Twilight Hunting
The first thing to be destroyed is the wall that is burning with flames.

An astonishing coldness erupted from Roland's body. Thin white ice creaked and spread from the ground, and the suffocating cold wind exploded like a spiral, instantly extinguishing the flames on the surrounding walls.

But before the flame disappeared, it was not shaken by the cold wind, but was frozen in the air like a living thing, and then shattered.

The fire on the wall was not so much extinguished by the cold and the wind as it was shattered.

The surrounding walls decayed and distorted at an extremely fast speed after the flames completely disappeared, and large pieces of black and scorched yellow scars appeared on the walls after the fire raged.Afterwards, the ceiling became mottled and dilapidated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the floors cracked one after another.

This was undoubtedly the scene long after the destruction of the Gargoyle Inn.

"This is impossible--"

Looking at the scene in the crystal ball, a young wizard with brown-red hair and black-rimmed glasses couldn't help showing panicked eyes.

In his cognition, this is a scene that should never appear.

When he participated in the internship of the Waste Development Bureau before graduation, he had seen the effect of the witchcraft of the old city.

If the sorcery is functioning properly, the virtual inn, preserved from the records of the Bureau of Waste Development, should become sympathetic with the "guests" in They dissipate together; and if the disaster is prevented, this virtual hotel will remain for a period of time, and it will not disappear until all the guests leave.

No matter what the situation is, it is impossible for the old city to construct a scene after its destruction.Because this witchcraft does not have this function at all.

Unless the caster artificially modifies the surrounding environment like this.

——But how is it possible?

The young wizard was pretty sure that none of the adjustments he had made would have had this effect.

Then, he focused his gaze on the face of the cold girl in black and black hair.

It must be her problem.

"Su Ze people... who is she?"

The young wizard murmured in disbelief.

I'm afraid I'm hallucinating.The young wizard bent over, his face was almost pressed against the crystal ball, and he checked again and again whether he had made any mistakes in modifying the illusion.

He never believed that those two scumbags could still survive in the deadlock that he worked so hard to set up...

"Damn it...it's the same in the tower, it's the same here...you know that little boy An Ruosi is hiding behind the woman..."

The young wizard whispered through gritted teeth.

But he cannot admit defeat.

An Ruosi finally left the White Tower, and he only had one chance.

Even his hard-fought job at the Scrap Development Bureau might be affected if Anroth and Robert escaped from the illusion back to the White Tower.

He gritted his teeth, took out the ritual knife again and cut fiercely on his left hand full of knife marks, bleeding profusely in an instant.

The blood floated spontaneously in the air, twisted into characters of various shapes and then printed on the crystal ball.

As he whispered, the crystal ball floated in the air again, spinning slowly.

——The magic power is not enough.

Less than half left.The young wizard estimated his magic power and frowned involuntarily.

Even with this crystal ball assisting in casting spells, the scary illusion must be given up.

What little magic powers have to be used to create something deadly to break the deadlock.

The young wizard couldn't help turning his gaze to Roland.

He finally realized that this woman was the most dangerous existence compared to Robert and An Ruosi who were unable to extricate themselves from the illusion.

"Is it... the pastor?"

He squinted his eyes and kept adjusting the angle of the picture.But no matter how he adjusted, Roland's figure was completely hidden by the white blizzard.

Through the white cold wind, one could vaguely see the flowing waist-length hair fluttering wildly, and the soft black robe was also rattled by the wind.

It's like an elf dancing in the snow.The slender figure gives the illusion that if you are not careful, you will be folded by the cold wind.

But even though he couldn't see Roland's appearance clearly at the moment, the young wizard still looked at Roland in a daze, unable to extricate himself.

After about half a minute, he was awakened by a broken sound.

Instantly, his eyes were filled with shock and fear.

"Natural charm... Is this woman a goblin? Or a erotic demon?!"

Immediately, the young wizard no longer dared to look at Roland, so he could only hastily move the screen away.

But then he heard the weird breaking sound again.

The young wizard checked again and again, and finally realized that the cracking sound came from Roland's direction.

It sounded once every two seconds—the sound seemed to be the sound of fishermen digging ice in winter, or the sound of guards hitting the end of their spears on the ground neatly.

And the cracking sound became louder and clearer.

More and more anxiety rolled from the young wizard's heart.Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes, and wiped his eyelids with the blood from his left hand.

If you can't see with the naked eye, use detection witchcraft.

You have to see what she did—

But when he looked at Roland with the vision of detecting witchcraft, he couldn't help being shocked, and the crystal ball fell directly to the ground.

"Karl? What are you doing? Why is there such a big movement?"

The boss's angry voice came from the next room, and the footsteps were getting closer.

"Don't you know how to maintain the instrument? Don't you just... wait? Karl? No! Stop casting spells immediately!"

The boss's scolding gradually became farther away in Karl's ears.

Because the moment he used the detection witchcraft to look at Roland, he saw something he shouldn't have seen——

Just behind the cold and charming girl, a huge shadow with eyes as high as two people was staring at him coldly.

When Karl saw the huge eyeball, he felt his blood turn into some kind of cold and viscous foreign object.

Even if he wanted to look away, it was impossible.Carl's gaze seemed to be attracted, and he could only watch the huge eyeballs behind Roland staring at him quietly.

The skin of the eyeball is fragile and transparent, countless colorful slender snakes are crawling inside the eyeball, and the shape of the eyeball is constantly changing due to the extrusion of these small snakes.

In the very center of the eyeball—the only place where there is no small snake—is a circle formed by two black snakes clinging to the eyeball and devouring each other's tails.

Any little snake that touches this dim yellow circle will neigh and twist into a ball of flesh and blood, and then burst open, bursting into intense dim yellow light.

Fortunately, before Karl could see clearly what was in the light, he felt a huge force coming from behind, and he was pushed directly to the side.

His head hit the corner of the table all of a sudden, and the blood flowed out all of a sudden.

But thanks to this, Karl's sight finally broke away from the crystal ball.After that, he didn't even have time to pay attention to his roaring boss, but turned off the detection witchcraft immediately.

At this moment, Karl felt that his seven orifices were bleeding, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't even stand up.

"You bastard! I told you that you are absolutely not allowed to use the Old City without the qualifications of an examiner! You are dead! No one can protect you!"

As if being ignored by Karl, his boss was even more furious.

Carl suddenly realized that his work and life seemed to be over.

Using top-secret items to try to kill innocent people without authorization as a trainee staff is enough to kill him three times.

……What should I do?

"It's better to silence it."

Karl completely ignored the boss who was scolding him non-stop, and just said to himself.

"How to silence! You teach me? One is a disciple of the Star Caller, and the other is the Titan royal family... Wait, this black-haired woman looks familiar too... It can't be..."

Carl was immersed in some wonderful state and completely ignored what his boss was saying.

A dim yellow light flickered in Carl's eyes, and his left hand, which had been bleeding continuously, also stopped bleeding, and a thin snake came out of the wound on his left hand wagging its head.

Seeing his boss looking down at the crystal ball with his back turned to him, Karl shook his drowsy head again, stood up quietly drooling, and grabbed the boss's neck from behind with both hands.

Originally, with Karl's current physical condition, even a sneak attack would not be able to restrain his boss, who has a silver-level spellcasting level.But the moment he grabbed his neck, the little snake on his left hand bit his boss's throat simultaneously.

Suddenly, dark yellow spider web-like cracks spread densely from his neck.This silver-ranked wizard with the unique tall body of a Su Ze man suddenly spit out white foam, his whole body was weak, and his pupils began to dilate——

However, neither of them noticed that after the increasingly louder breaking sound reached a limit, the crystal ball behind them finally shattered.

"caught you."

A cold voice came from behind the two entangled people.

The next moment, the frost-white cold wind rushed over like a wave, instantly submerging the two of them.
