The three of them flew over with magic and landed in the sky above the mayor’s mansion. Manticore stood with his hands behind his back. A vague aura and will was emitted, forming a spiritual pressure that enveloped the entire mayor’s mansion.
Manticore’s body looked a little skinny, but it was extremely tall and straight. Its entire body emitted a terrifying aura. It gave off an incomparable pressure.
“Is the mayor here? Please come out and let’s reminisce,” Manticore said.
His voice had a strong penetrating power, and it easily went through the barrier, clearly ringing in everyone’s ears.
In the mayor’s manor, most of the guards only felt their eardrums rumble. The weaker guards even had blood flowing out of their mouths and noses, and their bodies weakly collapsed.
At this moment, there was a trace of spiritual energy in Manticore’s words, which could affect the souls of those in a lower tier..
Manticore had come to show his might.
However, after a while, Creed discovered that Nelly did not come out. Professor Manticore did not hide his aura. If Nelly was fine, he would have sensed the aura of someone of the same tier around.
He came out to respond.
However, he did not come out at this time. This made Creed even more certain that Nelly was still suffering from the pain of the poison. Or rather, he was already dead.
The first two to come out were Evelyn and Liszt.
“The mayor is busy. He has no time to pay attention to you,” Liszt said coldly.
“Huh?”
Manticore frowned. A small man of just tier 3 dared to talk to him like this.
He stared at Liszt, and a wisp of spiritual energy pierced through the magical formation like a sharp arrow, piercing into Liszt’s consciousness.
Immediately, Liszt groaned, blood oozing out of the corner of his mouth, his face pale.
He was only tier 3. How could he withstand the spiritual attack of a peak tier 4 expert?
“A dignified peak tier 4 expert, and you dare to bully someone of tier 3? Are you just bullying the weak?” Laylen’s lazy tone carried a hint of coldness. He appeared in front of Liszt, holding a pitch-black dagger in his hand, and channeled his magic into it.
Then, he used the dagger to cut off Manticore’s spiritual power.
As a peak tier 4 expert who was close to becoming extraordinary, Manticore was not injured by the cut.
He looked at the dagger in Laylen’s hand with a serious expression. He did not expect it to be a magic-conducting weapon that could cut off spiritual connections.
“Laylen.”
The moment Laylen appeared, Ang Li and Creed recognized him.
At this moment, Laylen’s aura was fully released.
A look of surprise flashed across their eyes.
They did not expect that in just six short years, Laylen had actually reached tier 3.
No wonder he could kill Connor and the others.
“Don’t be so cold to me, come on,” Laylen said to the two of them before looking at the three in the air. “You are all guests. Please come in and have a cup of tea.”
The mayor’s guards looked at the three in the air nervously. One of them was on the same level as the mayor.
Such an expert could crush their souls with just a thought.
On the other hand, Laylen was extremely calm when facing a peak tier 4 expert. He even smiled and invited the three of them in.
Outside the mayor’s mansion, there were countless people watching.
This time was different from the previous time. That so-called Archbishop Shadow, with one look, it was obvious that he was a weak tier 4. Looking at this old man, however, he was full of arrogance.
He was a genuine peak tier 4 expert.
It was unknown if the magical formation in the mayor’s mansion could stop this expert’s footsteps.
“Die, all of you, die! The members of the Vader family all deserve to die!” A middle-aged man dressed in linen clothes stared at the mayor’s mansion, his eyes bursting with intense hatred.
There were old people and children around him, as well as servants dressed in coarse overcoats. Everyone was cursing.
These people were all members of the Andre family.
Ever since the death of the family patriarch, their situation had been getting more and more miserable.
In the past few days, there were even a few peak tier 3 family elders who had been ambushed. A few of them had even died.
Although they didn’t know who it was, they could tell with their butts that it was definitely those people who had offended the mayor in the past.
At the same time, in another place, there was also a group of people cursing the people in the mayor’s mansion.
They were all cursing them to go to hell.
These people were members of the Duke family. They were in a very difficult situation, just like the Andre family.
Manticore flew over and used his magic to cover the entire mayor’s mansion. For some reason, he could feel a vague and dangerous aura within.
Thus, he said in a deep voice, “Since I’m already here, I will test out this magical formation.”
Yesterday, when Creed told him that the mayor’s mansion had a magical killing formation that could kill a tier 4 expert, he did not believe what he was told. However, after coming here today, he could really sense something dangerous around the mansion, and so he quickly stopped Ang Li and Creed from proceeding further.
He went down to inspect the goods and explore the way.
Manticore smiled, “Since you have already decided to welcome us in, how can I reject your offer?”
As soon as he finished speaking. The magic spell under his feet transformed into a flight of stairs, allowing him to step into the magical formation.
As Manticore entered the range of the formation, the barrier instantly appeared and surrounded him.
Manticore immediately made a prompt decision. He activated the origin technique and released all of the magic of a peak tier 4 expert. The energy of ice and fire quickly converged together, like a flash flood. Terrifying energy bloomed and fiercely attacked the barrier.
Although they were separated by a layer of the barrier, the surrounding people could still feel the terror of this aura.
The magic of a peak tier 4 expert was too powerful.
Bang!
For a moment, the barrier could not withstand the impact of Manticore’s magic, and some cracks had even appeared.
“So he’s peak tier 4,” Laylen thought to himself. “The old man also said that this guy isn’t his match. If this guy wasn’t here, even if the old man were to use the magical formation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be his match.”
Laylen held the token and controlled the magical formation to attack Manticore.
In the magical formation, the runes of more than ten alchemical stones lit up at the same time, crazily absorbing the surrounding magic.
Countless peals of thunder appeared, turning into thunder spears which then shot toward Manticore.
Manticore, who was dodging the thunder spears, was shocked.
He did not expect such a large-scale killing magical formation to actually exist in such a small kingdom’s border city.
His eyes lit up. If he were to use such a magical formation as a protective formation for the academy, it would be truly amazing.
“What powerful thunder.”
High in the sky, Creed, who was stepping on the magic conducting shuttle, felt the pressure emitted by the purple thunder. Even though there was a barrier between them, it still made his heart skip a beat.
Fortunately, he did not act rashly. Otherwise, if he had stepped into the formation, he would have died without evening knowing it.
“Your teacher should be fine, right?” Creed asked worriedly.
Ang Li smiled faintly. “Father, don’t worry. He is already half a step into tier 5. Moreover, he has also cultivated an origin technique to train up his physique. His physique is extremely strong. A mere tier 4 magical formation can’t hurt him.”
Inside the barrier, a total of 40 thunder spears were aimed at the Manticore and flew over to him.
Each thunder spear had the same power as an early-stage tier 4 expert.
