Baron Cullen

This is one of the three magic scrolls that Donald, the former president of the Mage Guild, gave to Karen. It is also the only one that records a fourth-order defensive spell.

He always carried it with him as a trump card in case of emergency, and now that he had used himself as bait to lure out Bastian, it was not a loss to use it for this purpose.

The next moment, the runes on the scroll suddenly lit up and then turned to ashes, and a piercing shriek echoed in the training ground!

A powerful gust of wind seemed to appear out of nowhere, swirling around Karen!

A series of strong winds transformed into violent tornadoes, enveloping his entire body.

call!

The moment the crimson hand reached for the tornado vortex, it suddenly unleashed an even stronger howl, accompanied by a gust of wind that caused a dull ache.

Everyone in the training ground, including Draenor and Albert, was staring intently at the two fourth-tier spells colliding violently.

Originally, it was thought that the situation would reach a stalemate, but after only a few breaths, the scarlet blood hand that had initially been so fierce showed signs of collapsing!

"What's going on?!"

Lord Drano and Lamont are both extraordinary warriors, so their knowledge of magic is naturally limited.

However, Bishop Albert, who was standing nearby, noticed something amiss.

He slowly began to speak: "Although Baron Karen's fourth-order defensive magic is cast using a scroll, its strength is much higher than that of the fourth-order blood magic."

Could this also be Chairman Donald's doing?

As a bishop of the church, and having been keeping a close eye on Karen's movements, he naturally knew that the latter had received three scrolls from Donald.

Delano didn't speak upon hearing this, but simply nodded slightly.

At the same time, the scarlet blood hand finally became unstable under the high-speed rotation of the tornado vortex, and dark red energy poured out continuously like dissipating gas.

boom!

Finally, under the intense swirling of the wind, the scarlet blood hand completely disintegrated and exploded!

The moment the scarlet blood hand exploded, dark red energy instantly transformed into countless blood droplets.

At that moment, Karen suddenly knelt down.

His face turned deathly pale, his hands, which were supporting him on the ground, trembled slightly, and even his breathing became heavy.

Although it only requires the injection of extraordinary elements to activate, since it is a fourth-order magic, the extraordinary elements required are naturally beyond the capacity of extraordinary beings at his level.

That one strike almost drained all the extraordinary elements from his body!

This is different from the third and fourth-tier blood magic he used when he killed Jacob Lance. At that time, he had already mastered those two blood magics and perfectly integrated their core operating paths into his own extraordinary circuits and expanded them.

Therefore, the extraordinary elements required to unleash this power are based on the proportion of extraordinary elements he possesses, and there is not much consumption involved.

At that moment, Karen knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth as she struggled to pull a bottle of potion from her pocket.

This potion was one of the gifts Lord Drano bestowed upon him when he went to the Lord's mansion.

The mana-restoring potion can quickly restore the user's physical strength and accelerate the body's absorption of extraordinary elements for a certain period of time.

He had no idea what materials or processes were used to achieve such effects in these potions.

After all, only the noble alchemists in the capital city could refine such a thing.

Meanwhile, with the dissipation of the fourth-tier blood magic, the warband's base finally returned to peace.

Lord Drano immediately regained his senses and unleashed a powerful aura, suppressing all the black-robed figures, including Lamor.

Bishop Albert, on the other hand, walked straight to the other side.

On the wall there, Bastian had barely managed to break free, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.

Delano held back his strength the moment he threw that punch, which is why he didn't kill him on the spot.

Of course, this was also Bishop Albert's intention.

After all, Bastian, as a priest, committed such an unforgivable crime, and as a bishop, he naturally also bore responsibility.

He not only had to atone to the gods, but also had to personally send Bastian to the stake.

At that moment, Bastian knelt on the ground, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar figure in a white bishop's robe slowly walking towards him.

He trembled violently, then collapsed to his knees with a thud, pleading with tears streaming down his face, "Your Excellency! Ah... Your Excellency Albert! Spare me, spare me!"

I am willing to surrender all my possessions! I am willing to confess my sins to the God of Light!

"I only...I only beg Your Excellency, Bishop, to give me a chance to reform!"

He was kowtowing repeatedly, all his previous madness and ruthlessness gone, leaving only his pathetic, begging behavior.

Bishop Albert looked at Persdan with anger and disgust in his eyes and said coldly, "Absurd! The crimes you have committed cannot be forgiven even by eternal burning!"

I was blinded by you back then, and I actually agreed to let a heretic like you join the church, and even made you one of the three priests!

Regarding this matter, I will atone to the God of Light, but you, even the kind and benevolent gods will not forgive you!

Having said that, he slammed his scepter hard on the ground!

"The Saint Celestial Church Combat Monks have captured the heretic Bastian Jim!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a series of swift figures leaped over the wall of the training ground.

These figures are the city lord's guards and the church's combat monks.

As soon as the members of the combat monks entered the training ground, they quickly surrounded Bastian, who was kneeling on the ground, and unhesitatingly took him down with specially made shackles.

The guards, following Lord Drano's orders, captured all the men in black robes and prepared to escort them back to prison.

Only now could the two fifth-tier experts finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Tonight's plan to lure the enemy was a great success.

Not only were Bastian and his gang all captured, but even Karen, who was used as bait, escaped unharmed.

However, only one person thought differently.

After taking the potion, Karen's physical condition had improved considerably.

However, his brows were still slightly furrowed, and his right eye, which was activating mysterious runes, kept scanning his surroundings.

No, not anywhere.

The mysterious person who wrote that strange parchment and gave Bastian those dark red scrolls never showed up!

"Did he sense something was wrong beforehand and run away..." He stood there pondering, "Or did he never intend to come in the first place?"

Just as he was feeling sorry for it, a commotion not far away caught his attention.

At that moment, Lamour Eddie was seen slumped on the ground.

He watched everything unfold before him, his body trembling uncontrollably with fear.

He knew he was finished.

They murdered civilians, betrayed the warband, and now even Bastian, who had just joined them, has fallen.

Just as he was terrified and at a loss, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lamont, who was directing the group of soldiers to assist the guards in the capture operation.

The next moment, he scrambled over and grabbed Lamont's leg, pleading tearfully:

"Vice...Vice Commander! Please save me! I...I was forced! Bastian forced me into everything!"

He has something on me, and if I don't listen to him, they'll ruin my reputation!

As you know, I am a warrior prodigy! The hope of the chapter! I cannot be disgraced!

So...so I had no choice!"

He cried his heart out, as if he were the biggest victim.

However, Lamont did not respond.

He simply stared coldly at Lamor at his feet, a hint of disgust even flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, Karen walked over.

Without a trace of pity in his eyes, he directly took out the Illusion Crystal Necklace, infused it with extraordinary elements, and a light screen immediately appeared in mid-air above the training ground.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the light screen.

In that incredibly clear image, there was a scene of Ramor and a knight named Hank talking in a private room on the second floor of the "Broken Battle Axe" tavern!
