I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

It is the second-circle [Darkness Spell].

Then, taking advantage of the cook's struggle, he used [Demon Fire] again, and blue light clung to the man, making him look like a human figure circled by a highlighter.

At the same time, Luke also activated his molten metal spell, melting metal objects such as doorknobs, candlesticks, and nails in the room and using them to attack the attacker.

The cook was clearly a seasoned veteran with extensive combat experience. Sensing that something was wrong, he roared, causing the three of them to freeze in shock for a moment.

Then, following his memory, he ran back to the window, jumped out of the window, and leaped down from the second floor.

Without hesitation, Luke immediately gave chase.

He jumped out of the window, the dark golden molten metal spreading out behind him like a glider, absorbing much of the force of his fall.

Lynn looked at Barton, only to see the old man speaking with great emotion:

"Chase him! Chase him quickly! That guy's got a sound mind; we can get a lot out of him!"

Lynn immediately turned and left the room, chasing after him down the stairs.

But he quietly turned back halfway, activated "Illusory Aura," and merged his body into the dim light of the corridor.

It's difficult to distinguish even with ordinary spiritual senses, let alone the naked eye.

He naturally understood that since the cook had come to attack them, he must have a deep connection with the person behind the scenes.

The fact that he risked being discovered to assassinate Gray means that Gray must have some important intelligence.

Or perhaps it's a crucial clue they haven't yet discovered...

Therefore, in Lynn's view, protecting Gray is the most important thing right now.

At the same time, although he did not believe Luke's guess, he preferred to completely dispel the shadow of doubt rather than let it linger in his mind.

So he quietly crouched by the door and peered into the room.

Old man Barton was panting heavily; he was badly injured and was struggling to move his body to get out the medicine.

Just as he drank the medicine and waited for his body to recover, Lynn's spirituality was touched.

He immediately searched everywhere, because his sensitivity to light had been significantly enhanced recently due to his mastery of various magic spells that manipulate light.

This led him to discover an extremely subtle dark shadow in the corner of the room.

"Someone has been hiding there all along!"

Lynn felt a chill run down his spine. He even felt that the man had been hiding in the shadows since they checked into the hotel, without Luke noticing!

Seeing that the time was ripe, he finally made his move, which alerted Lynn, who was also hiding in the shadows.

Lynn immediately concealed his presence even more. He guessed that this person was also a senior professional and quite skilled in stealth assassination. If he were discovered, he would probably be attacked immediately!

From the shadows, the lurking figure slowly revealed itself.

He was short, almost the height of a seven or eight-year-old human child, and held a dagger that was equally black, almost blending into the darkness.

A halfling wanderer!

He wore a mask and was shrouded in black mist, making it difficult to discern his figure.

The wanderer moved along the darkness in the corner of the room, just as Lynn was now, and was virtually undetectable to an ordinary person.

He walked behind Barton, took out a medicine pouch, quietly untied it, and an invisible powder was released.

"Ah-hoo—"

Old man Barton yawned deeply and quickly closed his eyes.

"A sleeping potion... This kind of potion is probably less likely to be detected than poison, and it's also very effective against defensive mages..."

Lynn immediately understood his intention.

Once the old man was completely asleep, the wanderer raised his dagger and paced to Gray, who had been like a puppet, as if to determine the best place to strike.

Lynn heard him mutter something under his breath: "...Old friend...What a pity..."

With that, he raised his dagger, about to stab Gray in the neck.

Lynn made a quick decision, controlling the light within a ten-meter radius around him to converge on the wanderer.

In an instant, a bright white light suddenly appeared before the man's eyes, like the sun bursting forth.

But Lynn also lost the protection of magic, which exposed her true form.

"ah--"

The guy screamed in agony, almost losing his sight, but as a seasoned wanderer, he instantly sensed Lynn's location by instinct.

With a flash, he was about to rush towards Lynn.

Lynn immediately took out the "Beast Summoning Whistle" that he had already put in his pocket and blew it loudly.

At the same time, nearly half of the magical power was poured into the spirit whistle.

A wave of heat immediately swept across the area in front of him, the high temperature evaporating a large amount of water vapor. At the same time, even the wooden door frame nearby began to burn. Fortunately, the walls and floors of the hotel were mostly made of stone, which prevented it from causing a greater impact.

The wanderer was scorched by the heat wave, and his body suddenly veered off course. As he was filled with doubt and surprise, a slender shadow darted out from the mist.

Lynn's eyes lit up. It was a long snake engulfed in flames, moving with extraordinary agility, which even made the seasoned wanderer feel somewhat troubled.

At the same time, he rapidly sketched out the magic formula in his mind.

After a few breaths, a huge arm covered in emerald green armor appeared out of thin air.

It held a giant sword that shone with dazzling light in its hand and slashed fiercely at the wanderer!

This was exactly the situation Lynn had envisioned from the beginning. Facing a professional who was a whole level above him, he had to continuously suppress him in order not to give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage.

At this moment, thanks to the amplification of the "Super Magic Wand," and after consuming more magic power, the "Sealed Right Arm of Nature Guardian" had gained an extremely powerful boost.

Furthermore, since it originates from the "Sacred Heart of Nature," its power far surpasses that of ordinary second-circle magic. A full-force strike at this moment would inflict considerable damage even on a seasoned professional.

The wanderer's defense was already inferior to that of a warrior, and now he was entangled by the fiery serpent.

The serpent was incredibly fast, leaving behind intense heat marks wherever it swam, making it difficult for him to land.

It can also open its mouth to spew small fireballs, which, although difficult to cause effective damage to enemies, will explode continuously near their ears, creating noise and affecting their judgment.

The wanderer's blindness had not fully recovered, and he could only rely on sound to find his way. At this moment, he was constantly disturbed by the fireballs spewed by the spirit snake. By the time he realized the attack from the nature guardian, the giant sword was already right in front of him.

In desperation, he gripped the black dagger tightly, and at the same time, his figure became ethereal, disappearing into the shadows once more.

"A magical weapon? That dagger should be imbued with some kind of shadow magic that can help him conceal himself..." Lynn deduced.

After disappearing into the shadows, the wanderer became incredibly fast, and the greatsword of the nature guardian barely grazed his body.

A muffled groan came from the darkness; he was still injured.

After Lynn's series of attacks, anyone unaware of the situation would probably have fled in fear.

But this wanderer was clearly prepared.

He knew very well that the two veteran mages posed the greatest threat to him in this team.

At this moment, one was led away by his companion, another fell into a coma, and the one left was just a novice mage.

There is a common saying in the magical world that the lower the level of a spellcaster, the more dependent they are on external objects.

In his mind, although this novice mage had shown considerable strength thanks to the enhancement of some magical items, he would eventually run out of steam.

So he lay in wait in the shadows, waiting for Lynn's magic to run out and create an opening before launching an attack.
