The temporarily released magic barrier was as thin as a piece of paper in front of the strange dagger.
However, this momentary pause and the temporary appearance of his figure were enough for Lin En. He stepped vigorously on the ground with his right foot and, with the help of the reaction force, quickly leaned back to avoid the dagger stabbing his neck. He fell to the ground with the seat behind him, and then rolled several times to create some distance.
However, when Lin En stood up again, he couldn't find the enemy's location at all. The lounge was empty, as if everything before was just an illusion.
Some kind of visual trick?
Lin En cast a [Mage Shield] on himself without hesitation. At the same time, the elusive danger came again, this time from his side.
[White Phosphorus-Resist Fire Ring! ]
This time, Lin En, who was fully focused, counterattacked almost instantly. He didn't know where the attack came from, but he didn't need to know either! The scorching fire surged from his body, spreading in all directions without a single dead angle. The bricks and stones on the surface cracked layer by layer, and the hot air waves rolled and swept everything in...
The Ring of Resistance is one of the results of Lin En's research on force field magic, and it is also a three-ring upper-level magic! This attack alone consumed a quarter of Lin En's magic power, but the effect was also particularly significant. The distance was so close that it was impossible to avoid it. The terrifying white phosphorus fire quickly attached to the attacker's body...
Sharp screams and wails rang out in the lounge. A middle-aged wizard vaguely emerged from the flames. His entire body had been set on fire. White phosphorus was gnawing at his flesh like maggots on his tarsal bones. He could only weakly slap his body with his hands. It was as if he was dancing in the fire...
Just as he guessed, this kind of magic can only deceive the vision and cannot make people disappear truly!
Lin En breathed a sigh of relief, but soon noticed that the wizard who was engulfed by flames had dropped the weapon in his hand to the ground. It was not a dagger, but a short sword...
Lin En's pupils shrank, and a chill surged into his heart again, which meant that there was definitely more than one attacker! The moment he realized this, the [Mage Shield] on his body shattered again. Fortunately, the deflection force field worked, and the sudden attack narrowly missed him.
The strange dagger only appeared at the moment of shattering the [Mage Shield], and then disappeared without a trace.
However, just because you can’t find any clues visually doesn’t mean that your other senses are useless!
Lin En's index finger trembled slightly in the air, and a series of imperceptible magic waves spread rapidly in a ring, hitting the obstacles and returning again. The only object in the room that frequently changed its position in the shape of a human was undoubtedly the first attacker! However, unlike what he expected, the attacker did not approach him again, but ran madly towards the outside world. Obviously, the two consecutive failed attacks, coupled with the tragedy of his companions, had made the other party retreat...
It’s too late to leave now!
Lin En glanced and changed the vibration frequency of the magic wave, adjusting it to a frequency similar to that of the brain.
Unlike the battle with Alok and others, Lin En had no intention of holding back this time. Such a special and imperceptible attack took effect immediately. The attacker who was fleeing at a high speed felt as if his brain was about to explode. He rolled to the ground in a mess, unable to maintain his magic any longer, and his figure soon appeared.
The next moment, four ice blades emerged from the void and pierced directly into his limbs.
Lin En stopped releasing the resonance magic, walked forward, put away the strange dagger, and then looked at the gray-robed wizard lying on the ground, unable to move, and asked coldly, "Name, identity, and reason for attacking me?"
The gray-robed wizard had no intention of replying. His face was filled with fear and uncertainty, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the pain that felt like his brain exploded.
"Forget it, I'll take a look at it myself!" Lin En didn't use any fancy interrogation methods. He put his hand on the gray-robed wizard's head and activated the psychic magic he got from Ladakh.
【Memory Retrieval】
This kind of psychic magic can search for related memories from a person's brain, but it is usually only effective when there is a big gap in strength or the other person is not mentally stable. Obviously, now is a good time.
However, at the moment when Lin En touched the other party's memory, the pupils of the gray-robed wizard under him suddenly dilated, and his body kept shaking. Before Lin En could react, he fell to the ground in an instant and was silent.
Is it something similar to soul restriction? Lin En frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this situation. He had encountered something similar before when he was interrogating the wizard apprentice named Nur at Yieta Harbor.
Only a great wizard who is proficient in psychic magic can engrave a soul restriction in the brain of a formal wizard, kill him instantly, and disrupt his memory! The flames and the piercing screams and wails caused by [Resist Fire Ring] were obvious in the silent manor, so the door of the room was knocked open just over a minute after the attack began.
"Professor Lynn, I just heard an explosion and screams, what happened?" Philip and Kevin were the first to rush over, and they were relieved to see that the other party was standing in the room intact.
"I don't know either. I was about to rest tonight when I was attacked by these two men." Lin En kicked the corpse at his feet and said in confusion.
During the days since he arrived in Greenriel, he seemed to have offended the wizards of the prophecy school. If they wanted to take action, they should have done so before the theory of gravity was published and verified.
It couldn't be that someone was so angry that they wanted to kill him because the math problems he asked were too difficult? Philip and Kevin looked at the two attackers. The first one was nailed to death by Lin En's ice blade, and the other one had been burned beyond recognition by the scorching white phosphorus fire and had long since died.
The exposed skin was torn off during the struggle, the blood was evaporated, and there were holes on the chest where fingers scratched. The death was extremely horrible. The remaining white phosphorus flames were still constantly devouring the flesh and blood as nutrients to strengthen its own strength...
Is this the so-called fire from hell? Philip and Kevin immediately remembered the "Hellfire" that destroyed the harbor town that Loud had mentioned when Lin En first came to Yieta College.
At first they didn't take it seriously, but now seeing the attacker's death, they understand the horror of this flame, which is worthy of the name "Hell"! (End of this chapter)
