He leaned forward to avoid Fantine's horizontal slash, then stepped forward and knocked her back with a punch.

The latter drew his sword in time to block the attack. Apart from the numbness in his palm, he was not injured anywhere else. He was just knocked back some distance by the brutal force of the impact.

Both of them escaped from the battle.

The sturdy man with steam coming out of his body strode towards Weed, veins on his forehead bulging, and Mandel's eyes widened with anger:

"Didn't you fucking say Will had fought him?"

"Didn't they say he can't use magic at all?!"

In comparison, the thin Weide was also panicked.

"When Will fought him...he certainly didn't use any magic!"

Seeing that he could not get any useful information from them, Mandel left Weed behind and shouted at the mercenaries:

"The security team won't come!"

"Faro Walsh is now wanted by the entire Einburg Province, and the city guard knights are on their way!"

"His head is now worth three million riels! If you want to give this money to someone else, then get out of here with your tail between your legs!"

Chapter 71 What is Magic

three million.

This number echoed in the ears of every mercenary.

It stirs the nerve called greed in my heart.

Their cruel eyes revealed undisguised greed.

The death of one or two companions will not make hyenas flinch, but will instead arouse their bloodthirsty desire even more, even when facing prey that is stronger than themselves.

And they also captured key information:

The city guard knights are on their way.

In other words, they just need to delay it, deplete the prey's physical strength and waste his magic power, and in the end the target will just be drowned by their claws.

The advantage is on our side. Even if the opponent is a magic genius, almost all the people on our side are extraordinary people above level five.

No one can escape from such an encirclement.

A dozen mercenary wizards took out their short staffs and began to gather magic power, and in an instant, there was a bright light.

Not only do the opponents have magicians, they also have their own magicians, and they are all battlefield mages who have been tempered by countless adventures.

The mercenary mages roared suddenly, and dozens of different elemental magic powers illuminated the entire hall like a spectrum. The violent flow of magic power even dyed the night sky with color.

The next moment, the elements exploded. Flames, frost, strong winds, spikes, foul blood, sound waves, dozens of fierce and brutal magics attacked Faro and his companions from all angles.

These dozen elite fifth-level mages have already reached the limit that an average human can reach in their lifetime.

At this moment, they all released their most destructive spells. This terrifying combined attack brought together extremely pure magical power and actually caused regional elemental shocks.

With the mansion as the center, elements within a radius of 500 meters moved abnormally, the earth trembled, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The glass of countless shops and houses was shattered by the earthquake and sound waves, covering the once clean streets like a ground full of crystal.

At the same time, the glass fragments on the ground reflected the elemental light that was rising into the sky from the Walsh Mansion.

"Faro!!!!"

Fantine and Vera cried out at the same time.

But before they could finish their words, they were swallowed up by the loud noise caused by the elemental torrent.

Before the light flashed, Vera only saw Faro, Dylan, and Claude, who did not move, standing in place and were directly swallowed by the light.

"Shug! Shug!"

"Give me some pause time!"

Vera was so anxious that tears streamed down her face. She no longer cared about being exposed. Faro was in danger, and it didn't matter even if others knew that she was a witch who had signed a contract with the devil!

The next moment, time stopped.

The whole world turned gray.

Hugh crawled out of Vera and dragged his blurry body towards Faro.

"Save him! Or block the attack, whatever!"

"Okay, then I'll take another fifth of your soul."

Vera nodded heavily.

Mandel's attack just now was too fast, she couldn't even react in time, and almost caused Faro to lose his life. This made her regretful, and she must not slack off this time.

"If I help him block this attack, your secret will definitely be exposed. Be prepared."

Xiuger said calmly.

Then it approached Faro, preparing to connect the space in front of Faro to the Abyss, so that the magic could be transferred away.

"What.....one fifth of the soul...?"

"What secrets are you talking about..."

Shuger and Vera were extremely shocked when they heard the sound.

They stared at the source of the sound in amazement. It was Faro!

Faro is turning his head to look at them!!

Not only could he see it, but Faro also heard the conversation they just had and even responded to it.

Xuger's arm, which was just about to pull the space, froze in mid-air. He looked at Vera in astonishment and speechlessness. He didn't know what to do now.

Farlow remembered.

These two extremely familiar voices were exactly the same as the ones I heard that night when I slept at Dylan's house.

It was also these two who were talking to me at that time.

"Don't... do anything stupid..."

At the moment, Faro was active in the deep realm of the Abyss, so his body was under great pressure and he could only speak in intermittent whispers.

"I can... handle..."

"Release...Time Standstill..."

"Believe me...."

Vera stood there in a daze, her mind blank. She didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Do as he says."

After a long while, she finally spoke. These words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and came out of Vera's mouth with difficulty.

Then, time began to flow.

There were roaring air, flashing flames, flying debris, and the loud noise made Vera's ears tinnitus.

Faro's figure was engulfed by the raging elemental torrent.

She regretted it immediately.

But before Vera could cry, she and Shuger saw an unbelievable scene.

Everyone saw it.

In the center of the elemental wave, the light began to fade, and a figure was vaguely visible.

The purple-haired boy stretched out his hand and spread out his palm. Violet mist surrounded his arm and suddenly spread out, like a big net, covering the violent elemental energy.

Then, annihilation began.

At this moment, people seemed to hear the wailing of elements. This divine punishment was so fragile in front of Faro that it turned into ashes in an instant. All the exquisite spells that contained a lot of magic power were reduced to nothingness at this moment.

The light faded and the flames dissipated.

The three of them stood there intact, the spell did not hurt them at all.

"You..." the mages shouted in shock.

"This is impossible!"

"Even an eighth-level mage can't resolve it so easily!"

"What on earth did he do!"

Farrow sighed.

I couldn't ignore what had just happened in the Abyss.

What he was most worried about happened.

There is anger burning in my heart.

His face turned cold. Since he couldn't solve Vera's problem after all, he would start with you!

"Let me show you."

"What is magic?"

Faro spoke calmly.

Then, a terrifying aura rose up that made everyone present tremble.

He was still pointing forward, just so casually, his fingertips suddenly flashed purple light, and all the magic power in his body gathered into one point.

The mercenaries felt something was wrong, and the same thought came to their minds -

We must never let this person cast spells again!

"Don't give him the chance to cast his spell!"

The mercenaries began to roar.

The huge sense of crisis stimulates the instinct for survival.

Almost at the moment when the words fell, they raised their crossbows and threw flying knives. The mages stopped being stunned and cast swift surprise attack spells in an attempt to interrupt Faro's inner chanting.

But they got one thing wrong.

Faro's spells never require casting time, and can be used whenever you want.

Boom——

A beam of light shone out from the fingertips, leaving a tail of death in the air. The power contained in it was beyond the reach of any wizard present.

Those cold arrows, flying knives...were directly annihilated in the beam of light.

The starlight in the dark night was unstoppable and directly broke through the killers' encirclement, burst into the night sky, and soared into the sky.

Chapter 72: The Trace of the Night

This attack directly broke through the encirclement of the mercenaries, but the power showed no sign of decreasing. Instead, it rushed straight into the night and cleansed the sky with the wrath of gods.

It pierced through the dark clouds that had just condensed due to the elemental shock, and the roaring thunder in the clouds also disappeared along with it.

The previous tremors caused many residents to think that an earthquake was coming, so they fled their homes. At this time, they saw the beam of light that penetrated the night sky.

All the changes in the vast starry sky were swept away by Farona's dark night starlight, leaving only a few starlights.

The frightened people looked at each other, mustered up their courage, and asked their neighbors about the strange changes that had occurred.

The direction of the change was Earl Walsh's residence.

Just as the civilians were discussing heatedly, they heard the tremor again.

The earth was not shaking randomly at this time, but rising and falling rhythmically. People were stunned and shouted and ran around to tell others that a second earthquake was coming!

As the source of the tremors got closer, several other sounds reached their ears.

There was the sound of armor scraping against each other, the neighing of war horses, and the clashing of weapons.

The Knights of Einburgh passed by with the rumbling of their horses' hooves, and all the idlers present were driven away. Whether they were commoners or nobles, they were all warned to go home quickly and not stay outside any longer.

The knights, clad in iron armor and well-trained, marched towards Earl Walsh's palace in a mighty procession.
