Kotora clicked his tongue and scratched his hair irritably, anger and disdain for Merlin churning in his heart. However, the moment he noticed Merlin, several students rushed over from the other end of the corridor with weapons in hand.
Leading the group were "Chris" and "Carl", followed closely by "Fate".
If you look closely, you will find that Chris, Carl and Fate have torn and wrinkled marks on their faces. It is obvious that these are not their real faces, but disguised with human skin masks.
This detail had already caught Merlin's attention during his escape just now, but he was still confused, who on earth wanted to kill him?
He shouldn't have any enemies in the academy. What made him even more uneasy was that these pretenders obviously knew him quite well and were even able to pretend to be his friends. The acting process made him unable to detect any flaws and he only felt a slight sense of disobedience.
Merlin had a vague feeling that all this was related to Kotora. This guy attacked me directly after seeing me. Did I offend him in the past? He began to recall, trying to find a clue.
Kotora sneered, "I don't care whether my sister lives or dies. Although she is valuable, she is still far inferior to you."
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he did not hide his indifference to Yuna. "As for asking these people to stop? Sorry, I can't do that. Because these people are not my people at all. My relationship with them is just cooperation."
Before he finished speaking, a strong wave of magical power suddenly erupted outside. Merlin was furious and called Kotora a beast who didn't even care about his own sister. Of course, what made him most angry was that his hostage plan was useless!
At this moment, Merlin seemed to understand the scene he had just seen. His eyes were as bright as stars. After seeing the trajectory of the magic power outside, he quickly threw Yuna away from his arms. A wind blade tore open the door and the floor, and even cut the entire room in half.
Carl and Chris had a fierce look in their eyes as they rushed in from the left and right, their swords surging with wind and flames, heading straight for Merlin.
Kotora knocked on the dormitory wall outside the corridor and said coldly: "Merlin, stop struggling, you are surrounded."
As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically and he quickly left the dormitory. Just as he stepped back, a horrific explosion exploded in the dormitory. The deafening sound, accompanied by a strong shock wave, directly shattered Merlin's dormitory.
"Carl" and "Chris" were blown away and fell to the ground with painful expressions on their faces. There were burn marks on their bodies, and various fragments produced by the explosion pierced into their bodies. Blood flowed out of the wounds.
Kotora had a gloomy expression as he stood on the grass outside the senior dormitory, looking up at the location of the explosion. The entire senior dormitory had collapsed in half.
Merlin walked out of the ruins, his whole body exuding an unyielding aura. He had a sneer on his face and his eyes were like knives. He looked directly at Kotora, raised his middle finger, and said nonchalantly: "Idiot, it's not me who is surrounded, but you who are surrounded by me alone! Do you really think I'm a piece of clay that's easy to bully?"
"You really surprise me, Merlin! He's obviously a third-level junior magician. I thought it would be a simple commission, but I didn't expect..." Kotora's face became increasingly gloomy.
"Commission? Who wants to kill me?" Merlin asked with a frown.
"Your life? If you hadn't resisted, your life might not have been in danger, but now it's hard to say."
At this moment, the air was filled with tension, and the confrontation between the two sides seemed to foreshadow an inevitable conflict that was about to unfold.
Behind Merlin, those disguised as "students" rushed up frantically. After they tore off their disguises, the expressions on their faces were like ice, and their actions were like machines without any emotion.
Merlin took out a bottle of potion from his space ring and opened the stopper. A thick gray-white smoke instantly spread out, and the thick fog instantly enveloped the entire corridor. A chaotic atmosphere filled the air.
Mist potion. The mist released by this potion can make people lose their sense of direction, block mental perception, and reduce the five senses.
But to Merlin's surprise, these students seemed to be able to locate Merlin's position and easily passed through the range of the fog.
Merlin waved his hand, the space ring flickered, and the magic crystals on several rings in his hand began to burn as if they were ignited. He stretched out his hand and waved in the direction of the crowd.
The wind element in the air quickly condensed. At first, it was just a gentle breeze, but in a flash, a strong storm formed in front of Merlin like a furious beast.
The tornado formed by the storm roared into the sky, rolling up the ruins of the dormitory with unstoppable force. The broken stones and broken wood boards fluttered in the strong wind, as if they were given life.
This terrifying tornado was like an indestructible barrier, firmly blocking the attack of the crowd in front of it.
Merlin slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. At this moment, the ring on his index finger suddenly burst into flames.
The flame was like a burning sun, emitting a terrifying high temperature. The flames spread rapidly along the ground like a nimble fire snake, igniting the storm in front of them at an extremely fast speed.
The combination of wind and fire formed a terrifying firestorm. The flames danced wildly in the storm, and the scorching heat burned and distorted the surrounding air. Wherever the firestorm went, everything was reduced to ashes. The walls of the dormitory were cracked from the baking, and the wood chips and gravel that were swept into the storm gradually turned into ashes under the high temperature.
Merlin took out a bottle of magic potion and started drinking it. He knew that time waits for no one. Without the supply of magic power, the fire storm would not last long. He had to find a chance to escape as soon as possible.
Kotora looked at the madly burning firestorm on the fourth floor of the dormitory. He didn’t expect Merlin to have such strength. Was it alchemical equipment? The staff in his hand was inserted into the ground, and then flames burned from under his feet and continued to spread, turning into a circle and gradually covering the entire dormitory area.
"Expand the field!" Kotora waved his hand, and a huge amount of magic power burst out from his body. The flames in the fire storm seemed to be pulled out of the storm by some force, and the flames turned into countless flames and landed on the circular path surrounding the dormitory.
