Before he could call Gaston on the opposite side, Lucian suddenly sensed a strong magic fluctuation and subconsciously cast magic.
Charlotte, who had just recovered from her fatigue, reacted half a beat slower than Lucian, and the illusory force field palm condensed in front of her.
Susan, who was not far away from Sandra, was completely confused and didn't know what to do at all, watching Sandra's chest burst into a small electric light entangled with light, reflecting the black gas that had penetrated in and out of her body at some point, and quickly purified them.
And on the ground in front of Sandra, there were a few crisp sounds, and several pieces of metal became charred.
"That monster is not dead yet! It's still in this castle!" Sandra's voice was slightly sharp, with a hint of horror, "If it weren't for me having a good talisman, I would have been dominated and controlled by this monster just now!"
The tightly closed neckline of her purple magic robe seemed to be broken by some powerful force, and a severely deformed talisman chain that could not be seen clearly in its original appearance broke off, and fell to the ground as clearly as slow motion in the eyes of Lucian and the others, making a clear sound.
After two fierce battles, most of the mental power was consumed, and all the magic he was good at was exposed, but the monster was not dead yet! This made Sandra, who had experience in combat, have to be a little frightened.
The "Star of Muskelet" was running overhead, and Lucian looked around vigilantly and shouted twice: "Mr. Gaston! Mr. Gaston!"
The opposite side of "Electromagnetic Communication" was still silent and did not respond.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Charlotte cast the "Secondary Psychic Connection", connecting the minds of the three magicians and a magic apprentice, so as not to waste time talking.
"Let's run away, run away! That monster is so terrifying, we will never be able to kill it!" As a magic apprentice, Susan couldn't hold on anymore and cried out trembling all over.
Lucian had gone through so many dangers, and the more dangerous he was, the calmer he became, and he did have a lot of doubts just now, so he was not affected by Susan's fear and Sandra's slight panic, and quickly shared his opinion: "Just now we thought it was a monster summoned by Mr. Beltrand and used the brazier as the main medium of the summoning ritual, but now it seems wrong. And Mr. Beltrand is a magician who has been educated in arcane since childhood, so he obviously won't try that ridiculous summoning ritual. The summoner must be someone else!"
"Bill? He is the only one alive in the castle, this monster is terrifying and weird, it is impossible not to find him hiding in the secret room." Charlotte's voice was tired and weak.
Sandra subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, I used the charm human to control him to verify the intelligence. Wait, that monster is capable enough to help him block part of his memory!"
Mentioning her familiar companion, Susan stopped crying and was completely stunned.
"I just heard from Susan that because he has no arcane talent, Bill has been bullied by other magic apprentices. The hearts of similar children must be filled with hatred and tyranny. When these emotions accumulate to a critical point, they will begin to seek revenge with strength. At this time, Bill, who has little arcane foundation, is likely to follow absurd summoning rituals, regardless of how ridiculous and unbelievable it is in the eyes of formal magicians and well-educated magic apprentices." Lucian analyzed calmly, then turned to look at Susan and asked her through a psychic connection, "Susan, have you ever seen Bill watch "Fable of Pain"?
Susan shook her head in confusion at first, and then woke up in shock: "Bill, Bill has been watching "Fable of Pain" recently, saying yes, saying that he wants to draw strength from pain and study the arcane more harder!"
"Let's go." Lucian ordered concisely, without saying anything more, if the monster did not kill it before it was resurrected and completely regained its strength with the help of Bill, then it would be himself and others who died.
Just now, Bill tricked himself and others into coming to the restraint room, obviously to buy more recovery time for the monster!
The three magicians ran to the apprenticeship hall again in their previous formation, with a distance of about a few meters from each other, and Susan mustered up the last of her strength and followed Sandra with difficulty.
While running, Lucian had other doubts in his mind, such as why when he and others opened the restraint room, the monster was indeed condensing from the brazier, instead of being resurrected through the medium of Bill, etc., but the situation was urgent, so he could only temporarily press them down and deal with the imminent monster first!
There was no time like asking Bill about the delay before, this time the monster obviously hadn't recovered yet, otherwise he wouldn't have just tried to control Sandra with dominance just now. At this time, the corridor that turned around was quiet, without pale and transparent arms, blood-red and disgusting tongues, etc., allowing Lucian and the others to rush back to the apprenticeship hall in a few seconds, rushing past the rows of bookshelves that had just been knocked down, and returning to the location of the secret room.
On that bronze statue. The two dead eyes were twisting and getting bigger, and the eyes on the door of the secret room and the nearby wall were trying to stand out, all of which were black eyeballs and white pupils, extremely weird and terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Lucian and the others breathed a sigh of relief, even the wall of the evil eye had not yet been condensed, indicating that they and the others had indeed not wasted time, and did not let the monster recover most of its strength like the previous time, and at the same time showed that the monster inside was in a very weak stage!
This is the perfect opportunity!
Several ideas in the psychic connection were quickly exchanged, Lucian pushed his hand, and a crimson fireball that seemed to compress the terrifying power inside flew out and smashed directly into the door of the secret room.
Before that, Charlotte's "Curtain of Gaze" had already appeared on the other side of the Evil Eye Wall, allowing each eye to see itself clearly through the mirror.
Crash, the mirror shattered, and the wall of the evil eye collapsed before it was fully condensed, causing Lucian's large fireball to hit the door of the secret room directly.
In the huge explosion, the not-so-strong magic defenses of the secret room collapsed layer by layer, and the stone gate was blown to pieces, filled with smoke and dust.
Sandra's purple wand lit up next, and the "Arcane Light" made the secret room and its surroundings extremely bright. It absorbed all the light nearby, illuminated the smoke and dust that filled the air, and illuminated Bill who was half-kneeling on the ground inside.
Bill's eyes wearing black-rimmed glasses glared at Lucian and the others opposite with an expression of abnormal hatred and hatred, but a strange and inexplicable smile was distorted on his face, and the muscles on his body were bulging, tearing the standard apprentice's uniform, tearing the skin, exposing bloody muscles and blood vessels, and white maggots crawled around inside, some even out of Bill's mouth, nose, corners of his eyes and ears.
"Bill? You!" Originally, Bill summoned the monster but had no ability to control it, but seeing this scene, Susan only felt that it was more terrifying than she imagined, then the monster was Bill himself?!
A transparent wall appeared in front of Bill, with countless black strange magic runes flowing and undulating in it. He laughed unusually happily and said: "When those bastards who slapped me and always laughed at me died at my hands, they were so frightened, so desperate, so cowardly, and they didn't have the arrogance and strength they had when they took advantage of the magic competition to trample me under their feet. They are very strong on the outside, but on the inside they are like mice. Behold, only the strength that comes from the heart is truly powerful, and I have gained strength from the pain and have successfully awakened my heart."
These words seemed to come from everyone's heart, and in just a moment, Susan and others understood what he meant.
Two white lights flashed on the transparent wall in front of Bill, causing the magic runes to disintegrate one by one. Charlotte and Sandra didn't waste time talking to Bill, and directly cast the three-ring force field magic "Unlock Magic", which has a certain chance to cancel a magic effect or a defense forcefield.
On the other hand, three stars of the Muskillen Star above Lucian's head deviated from the orbit and collided with the other three, bursting out with dazzling brilliance, which gave Charlotte and Sandra the blessing of "luck" and maximized the effect of removing the magic.
"You, this is not power, it is a summoned devil!" Susan forgot that Bill was not connected to her own psyche, and the thoughts of fear and hatred were transmitted.
But Bill seemed to hear her voice and laughed: "That's not the devil, it's our own hidden spiritual power! What a wonderful taste of hatred, jealousy, hatred, and greed!" His lips fell off, revealing his white teeth, and his eyes gradually turned red.
After the white light of "Dispel Magic" flashed, the transparent wall in front of Bill quickly collapsed, and his current strength could not even be restored.
As soon as the invisible force field disappeared, Charlotte and Sandra each activated an item and cast "Dispel Magic" again while their magic was buffered!
A layer of black light disappeared with Charlotte's magic dispel effect, and then a cloud of black gas came out under Sandra's magic.
Then Lucian's right hand lit up with a lavender light, like a small purple sun, and spots of light of various colors such as gold, silver, black, white, and purple suddenly appeared around Bill, and they began to rotate rapidly around Bill, like the most terrifying vortex, tearing Bill's body frantically.
Maybe the monster can move with pure consciousness or spirit, but Bill still has a physical body and is limited by the elements!
Lucian didn't wait for the last moment to activate the "Elemental Vortex", as long as the opportunity was right, he used it without hesitation!
The vortex became bigger and bigger, and the light point became brighter and brighter, completely enveloping Bill in it and completely filling the secret room.
After a series of fierce battles, the use of the "Elemental Vortex" made him more serious than the sequelae of the last time, and he didn't even have the ability to open his mouth to speak, so he could only lean on the bookshelf leaning on it.
Sandra was preoccupied with guarding against Bill, or rather, the monster.
The whirlpool slowly disappeared, and the walls were completely damaged and disappeared under the impact of the entire secret room, and there were several large holes on the ground, which could clearly see the hall below.
There were black corrosion marks where Bill was, and nothing else remained.
"Kill that monster?" Sandra asked in disbelief, subconsciously looking out the window, only to see that the fog had completely disappeared, revealing the sunset that was about to set in the evening.
"Regardless of whether we kill it or not, since the opportunity has come out, let's contact Mr. Gaston quickly." After taking the sweet and luscious light blue "Song of Water", Lucian felt as if he had come back to life, but he still felt abnormal throbbing pain when using his mental power, so he forcibly supported and stimulated the "Electromagnetic Communication".
"Song of Water" is indeed the best recovery potion in the middle level, which can restore life and spirit at the same time, but Lucian's backlash symptoms from the use of Leapfrog still exist, and he can only barely activate the item and cannot cast magic at all.
"Hey, hey, Mr. Gaston?"
After a short period of silence, Gaston's slightly old voice with a northern accent sounded on the opposite side: "Lucian, are you in trouble?"
"Well, I met a monster......" Lucian recounted the matter in a long and short sentence, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
After hearing this, Gaston was silent for a moment and said, "You find a stable room to arrange the magic circle and wait, and the nearest high-level magician will come to deal with it in twenty minutes."
Charlotte helped Lucian, and Sandra took Susan to the energy room in another corridor of the apprentice hall, ready to wait there.
"Mr. Evans, do you still have questions?" Charlotte saw Lucian frowning slightly.
Lucian nodded: "There are still many things I can't figure out, such as why the monster attacked Sandra before recovering? Let's be alert and react? If it hadn't recovered a little, we wouldn't have killed it so easily."
