"I'm sorry, Lord Merlin. If you want compensation, please find my boss." Alicia's rapier shot out from an extremely tricky angle like a poisonous snake, piercing through the magic scroll thrown by Merlin and piercing his chest.
The magic in the scroll was not activated, and Alicia's sword pierced through the magic circuit in the scroll. This was also the sword skill she was proud of.
The necklace on Merlin's neck flashed suddenly, and the blazing fire ring formed a high-temperature heat wave and spread in all directions. The fourth-level magic resistance fire ring directly pushed Alicia away.
Don't you want to kill me? Merlin clearly saw that Alicia avoided his heart. Was the other party planning to capture him alive?
Alicia somersaulted sideways in the air and got ready to look at Merlin. Yuna was standing five meters away from her, but she didn't even glance at him.
On the other side, those guys disguised as students also rushed up. Merlin looked at this group of guys with some surprise, not understanding why they could find his position so easily. He had used fog potions a lot on the way to escape just now.
"Boy, you can't get rid of them. They can find you not by vision, hearing, or mental power, but by the perception of blood."
The voice of the moon goddess Selene appeared in Merlin's mind.
Bloodline perception? Merlin was a little dazed, but he didn't stop. He took out a whistle, put it in his mouth and started blowing.
The sharp whistle broke the silence of the night and echoed in the night sky. When the surrounding trees heard the whistle, they seemed to be injected with vitality in an instant. The trees that were originally standing quietly began to tremble slightly, and the branches danced wildly like awakened tentacles.
These trees rise tall from the ground, with their thick roots breaking out of the soil, like powerful left legs, firmly supporting their bodies. The upright branches become the body, solid and majestic. The lush branches stretch out like strong arms, full of strength.
Merlin pointed at the guys disguised as students and gave orders to these tree people. The tree people seemed to understand Merlin's instructions. They turned around and took heavy steps, approaching the guys disguised as students step by step. Their branch arms were waving and continuously extending to fight with the guys chasing Merlin.
"You surprise me, Lord Merlin."
Merlin watched Alicia put the whistle back into the space ring. He thought about how the head maid looked when she was in the orphanage, and asked helplessly, "Alicia, you should know that no matter who has the last laugh today, the Arcane Academy will cause trouble for you. As the head maid of the Arcane Academy, you should stand on the side of the Arcane Academy."
"Of course I know what you said, Your Highness Merlin. I'm sorry, but I have my own difficulties."
"An orphanage?"
As Merlin spoke, Alicia was silent for a moment and said, "It has nothing to do with the orphanage."
"Why is that?" Yuna naturally knew about the orphanage. She gave Alicia a large sum of money, which was enough for the orphanage to operate. As someone close to her, how could she not investigate?
Alicia lowered her head and said, "This orphanage was actually funded by Prince Arno..."
There was not much else to say. It was very kind of Alicia to speak up about this matter.
Now I understand. No wonder Alicia betrayed Yuna without saying a word. Alicia herself was from an orphanage. Maybe Prince Arno helped her come to the Arcane Academy.
If all this is a plan for the Arcane Academy, then Prince Arno is a bit scary. Alicia is now in her thirties. The time span...
"Selene, what about this blood perception you just mentioned?" Merlin asked in confusion.
"Blood perception is just blood perception, but it's really interesting. Although I know that the God of War is merciful in the human world, I never thought it would be so outrageous."
"What do you mean?"
Merlin was a little confused. The Moon Goddess Selene chuckled and said, "These guys chasing you should all be considered your brothers and sisters. You all have the blood of the God of War, but their blood is relatively weak and cannot reach the level of awakening. At most, they rely on blood perception to find your location."
Are these people descendants of the God of War? Merlin looked at the group of guys disguised as students who were blocked by the tree men, and always felt that they made people uncomfortable. They were like machines without emotions, and did not look like a human being at all. Even when they were injured, they did not frown.
The sword in Alicia's hand flashed, cutting through the air like a meteor, and once again rushed towards Merlin's direction.
She chanted an ancient spell, and a faint silver light appeared on her body. As the spell was completed, her physical fitness was greatly improved under the effect of magic. Her speed was like the wind and her strength was like thunder, which made people feel a sense of oppression.
Merlin would naturally not sit still and wait for death. Facing such an opponent, he thought secretly in his heart. Alicia's strength should be at level four, close to level five. Although the opponent's strength should not be underestimated, Merlin is not afraid.
In the absence of a forbidden magic field, he could use the alchemical tools, magic scrolls and potions in his hands at will.
Merlin quickly took out a bottle of silver potion from his space ring and drank it without hesitation. The effect of the potion took effect immediately in his body. His muscles instantly filled up and his skin took on a silvery luster, as if it had become as hard as iron.
Alicia thrust her sword forward, and Merlin raised his hand to block it. There was a deafening metallic collision sound. Alicia looked at Merlin in surprise, her face showing astonishment as the blade of the sword in her hand was pinched by his fingers.
Iron Potion, a fourth-level potion. After taking it, the body becomes like iron, but its hardness far exceeds that of iron. It has a certain degree of shock resistance and magic resistance. At the same time, it has a strong defensive effect against physical attacks. The disadvantage is that the speed drops significantly after taking it.
Just as Alicia was about to swing her sword again, the magic scroll in Merlin's hand flashed, and the ground in front of Merlin suddenly turned into mud and sand, transforming into a torrent that instantly swept Alicia into it.
Alicia struggled in the soft mud and sand torrent, but she could not borrow any strength and could only watch herself being buried under the mud and sand.
Fourth-level magic: mud and sand torrent!
Merlin knew that this magic couldn't really defeat Alicia, but it was enough to restrict her movement and allow him to gain enough distance.
Sure enough, Alicia struggled with all her might in the mud and sand and rushed out from the other side. Merlin's face did not show panic, but became even calmer.
