Chapter 159 The Hidden Archmage

Gareth let out a heavy sigh.

"It's just that it lacks a bit of flexibility. I have other ways to deal with you!"

To everyone's surprise, after Gareth said those words, the white-bearded old man opposite him laughed even more unrestrainedly.

He sensed the affectation in Gareth's words.

Gareth was truly at his wit's end; his specialty was teleportation magic.

My best move has now been sealed by my opponent.

His opponent is the legendary mage, Hoy, who has lived for nearly two hundred years and is known as Thunderstorm.

As can be heard from the title, he is extremely skilled in offensive lightning magic.

Moreover, Hoy's magic is not only powerful, but also fast.

Previously, Gareth could only rely on the flexibility of teleportation magic to constantly dodge.

Now that his biggest asset is gone, Gareth is naturally in a terrible predicament.

At this point, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Unlike Gareth's tough battle, Kane's situation was much easier.

Although Marquis Kane faced two enemies, he still gained the upper hand in a two-on-one situation.

And the scales of victory continue to tip in Kane's favor.

Marquis Kane held a magic wand in both hands, one long and one short.

Three fireballs were projectiles in front of him, and his body was coiled around a fire snake.

"Speak! Who is the mastermind behind this? And who sent you?!" Kane roared, unleashing a barrage of magic at his enemies.

Meanwhile, the two mages opposite Marquis Kane were somewhat disheveled as they dodged the fireballs and fire snakes flying towards them.

At this point, Kane could only rage in frustration, because no one was answering his questions.

Kane had some patience at first, but now he had completely lost it.

Kane's body was enveloped in magic, and his face darkened.

"Fine, since you're unwilling to talk, then die!"

Kane combined the two magic wands together, and his magical power continued to increase.

"Fire Serpent Strangulation!"

Two scorching fire serpents flew out from Kane's two magic wands and lunged at the two enemies in front of him.

Although it was just fire magic, these two fire snakes seemed to be alive, their mouths wide open, revealing fangs, sending chills down one's spine.

But his opponent was no pushover either. When Kane unleashed his killing move, the two of them simultaneously activated defensive magic and each took out a magic scroll from their pockets.

The fire serpent first struck the defensive magic circle that the two of them had jointly cast, and the magic circle was quickly breached.

At this moment, they tore open the scrolls in their hands together.

Crack!

A thunderclap suddenly sounded, and from the torn magic scrolls flew out balls of electricity that collided with the fire snakes.

boom!

A loud bang erupted in the sky.

A white mist filled the space between the three of them, instantly obscuring Kane's view.

Although Kane was furious, he did not lose his mind. The moment his vision was blocked, he raised his short magic staff and fired fireballs at the white mist in front of him like a machine gun.

At the same time, the magic wand in his hand began to accumulate magic power.

While using fireballs to distract the enemy, Kane also fully unleashed his magical perception, constantly probing the enemy's movements.

After launching dozens of fireballs in succession, Kane stopped this wasteful act of magic.

He frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

The fireball felt like it hadn't hit anything.

It didn't hit the defensive magic; it seemed to pass right through it.

Kane immediately swung his short staff, and a gust of wind blew in front of him.

The white fog that was obstructing the view was immediately blown away.

The two people from before were nowhere to be seen; there was no one in front of Kane.

But they couldn't escape.

Where are they hiding?

As soon as the thought crossed Kane's mind, he began searching around.

But to Kane's surprise, the air in front of him began to distort.

The two people who had just disappeared had actually remained in the same spot the whole time; they had simply used magic to hide themselves.

By the time Kane noticed, the enemy's attack magic was already on his face.

"Lightning Bolt!"

"Thunder Spear!"

Two fast and powerful spells instantly struck Kane.

"It worked!" One of them cheered with delight as they saw their magic successfully hit Kane.

However, before he could even feel happy for a second, a tongue of fire instantly bound him.

"Ah!" The intense heat made him scream.

Kane's robes were charred black, his hair stood on end, and he gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage. "If I hadn't been sparring with the old man of the Ryan family so often, this would have been a disaster!"

Elor's grandfather, Kieran de Ryan, was also a master of lightning magic, known as the Thunder Lion.

Kane had exchanged magical insights with him several times and possessed a wealth of methods for dealing with lightning magic.

Elor was the same. Because her grandfather was skilled in lightning magic, she knew very well the advantages and disadvantages of lightning magic. This was also why she was able to escape death several times when attacked by lightning magic.

Kane looks disheveled now, but he hasn't been seriously injured.

The magic he had hidden in his staff successfully captured one person.

Kane grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

"After all that effort, I finally caught one!"

The two men in front of him worked together, making Kane's movements very restrictive during the fight.

Now that one person has lost their fighting ability, the other is a lamb to the slaughter.

Kane raised his short staff and aimed it at the remaining man.

Just as he was about to take down the remaining man as well.

hum~

A sudden vibration came from the air.

Kane subconsciously turned his face slightly.

A bolt of blue lightning pierced through the magic core of the staff in his hand and grazed his face.

If Kane hadn't just turned his head slightly, the lightning bolt would have struck him squarely in the face.

Kane stared at the completely destroyed staff in his hand, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his face.

What terrifying magic!

He didn't even notice the magical fluctuations.

Moreover, he didn't even know where the magic came from.

The sudden appearance of a terrifying enemy instantly reversed the situation.

Kane, who had initially been certain of victory, has now become a lamb to the slaughter.

Kane wanted to find the spellcaster by following the magical fluctuations left by the spell.

But he couldn't find it.

The gap in strength between the two sides is too large.

The only being who can exert such a strong sense of pressure on me is a mage.

Kane never expected that the enemy behind the scenes was actually a mage.

It seems that both I and the City of Apprentices are doomed today.

"Heh—" Kane gave a bitter smile, then a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Since he's going to die anyway, he might as well take someone down with him!

"Explode!" Kane shouted, trying to detonate his fire serpent.

However, the same bolt of lightning appeared again.

This time, however, the lightning struck the mage who was bound by the fire serpent.

The fire serpent hadn't even been detonated before it was scattered by lightning.

Kane's last hope was dashed.

The sorcerer hiding in the shadows seemed to be enjoying Kane's despair.

Kane had no way to deal with the opponent.

But Kane still has a last resort.

Blow up!

A madness flashed in Kane's eyes, and the magic within him began to surge wildly.
