Chapter 168 Giving up

"Flash. ♛☟♦▲𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑙𝑒Search𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑚Read▲" The old man reacted quickly and sensed Herage behind him, but he made no move.

When Herage's punch was about to hit the old man, the old man still did not use any shield and just allowed Herage's fist to approach the back of his head.

Although Herage was a little confused, it was impossible to stop at this time.

"Um?"

Herage suddenly jumped into the air, and the old man in front of him suddenly disappeared.

There was a strong wave of magic power behind him, and the next moment, a huge ice pick hit his back.

Herage was knocked to the ground by the ice pick and rolled several times.

There was a pain in my back, but it was nothing serious.

Herage's absolute defense and the defense of the dark armor, coupled with his current strong physique, allowed him to suffer almost no damage.

Herage got up from the ground, looked at the old man in the air, and said, "Space defense spell?"

"That's right." The old man sneered.

The old man did not dodge from the beginning to the end. The moment Herage's fist approached, the surrounding space automatically distorted, and then Herage appeared in front.

The old man doesn't need any shield spells at all. His talent spell is a very rare space spell, which can automatically distort the surrounding space and redirect all attacks to other places.

For a close combat person like Herage, this spell almost made the old man invincible. ░▒▓██▓▒░

None of Herague's attacks could get close to him, and no matter how powerful the force was, it would be meaningless if it could not be transmitted to the old man's body.

After Herage thought about this clearly, he stood there and stared at the old man, but never made a move.

"Ice rain." A large number of ice energy particles condensed in the old man's hand, and then a large ice cone fell.

Herage was highly concentrated and quickly avoided these falling ice picks.

His speed was already extremely fast, and with Deep Blue's assistance, he skillfully avoided ice picks with every step he took.

A few seconds later, the ground was covered with ice picks, and Herage stood unscathed.

Herage smiled at the old man, but still did not take the initiative again.

The old man looked at him smiling provocatively, and felt angry in his heart.

But then he realized: "You are stalling for time."

Herage stopped taking the initiative and just looked at him.

The old man's attack could not capture Herague in a short period of time, and it reached a deadlock for a while.

Herage's intention was obvious, which was to delay the arrival of others.

But the old man couldn't afford to wait. He had to seize control of the witch formation as soon as possible.

If he waits until the Church family members arrive, even if he is a crystallized wizard, he may not be able to walk out of the Black Rock Valley.

The old man felt a little troubled for a moment, and he felt a fire rising in his heart as he watched Herage slowly back away, constantly testing the edges.

It would be impossible for him to successfully seize control of the witch formation without solving Herague.

But Herage's speed, strength, and physique were far beyond his imagination. As long as Herage didn't fight him to the end, it would be impossible to win in a short time.

The most important thing now is time.

"Ice!"

As soon as the old man shook his hand, the temperature around Herage dropped rapidly, and a thick layer of ice appeared on Herage's body.

This is a first-level ice spell that can imprison people in ice for a long time.

but.

boom!

Electric light flashed across Herage's body, and cracks appeared in the ice. Then with a soft sound, the ice flew away, and he was able to move freely again.

The old man let out a breath, which was pretty much what he expected.

Herage's physique is too high, and the effect of these confinement spells on him is too weak.

The old man weighed it, stretched his hand to the ground, and the red crystal flew back into his hand.

Then, he flew straight towards the entrance of the Black Rock Valley and gave up his plan to capture the witch formation.

With Herrag interfering, he could not succeed.

You can't continue to waste it, otherwise not only will the plan be completed, but you will die here.

Herage watched him fly away and followed slowly, hanging far behind.

After seeing the old man flying out of the Black Rock Valley, I was sure that he had really given up his plan to capture the witch formation.

"Quite decisive." Herage thought to himself.

The Moss family didn't know how long they had been preparing for this plan, so giving up like this must be a huge loss for them.

Now that the old man flew out of the Black Rock Valley, it will not be so easy to come back.

The witch formation has an identity recognition function. Unless the old man teleports the witch formation again, he will not be able to get in.

After the old man left, Herage rushed to the residential area to check the situation.

There were dead bodies everywhere in front of them, many houses were smashed by ice picks, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Herage searched and found no living person. They were all slaughtered.

Wizard apprentices and knights are so fragile in front of the crystallized wizard, and there is not much room for resistance.

It can be said to be a miracle that Herage survived in the hands of Malcolm.

And it was also because Barty arrived in time. If he had been slower, Herague would not have survived.

These people usually work diligently, and being able to join the Church family represents a bright future for them.

Who would have thought that in such a disaster, many people would be killed by ice picks in their sleep, and their lives would end.

At this moment, Herage once again felt the fragility of life. Without strength, he could not control his own destiny.

If he hadn't had enough strength this time, he would have died in Terry's hands.

Herage came to the entrance of the Black Rock Valley, where there was a castle with several surviving knights and wizard apprentices.

It happened to be their turn to be on duty today, and they happened to avoid disaster.

The old man noticed these people when he flew out, but was too eager to leave and did not take action against them.

"Sir!" These people walked out of the castle after seeing Herague.

Herague had now returned to his original appearance and put on a new set of clothes.

"You continue to stay here, reinforcements will arrive soon." Herage ordered after seeing that several people were in good condition.

After these people saw Herague, they felt as if they had taken reassurance. With the presence of an official wizard, they felt confident.

They don't understand the big difference between Herage and the old man. Anyway, they are both official wizards and are equally powerful.

A few hours later, Brak appeared at the entrance of the Black Rock Valley, carefully observing the situation inside the Black Rock Valley.

Although Herage had informed him through the rune stones that the other party had already evacuated.

However, who knows whether it is Herage or the enemy on the other side of the rune stone.

In Brak's estimation, Herage should have been killed, so the people on the other side of the rune stones were probably enemies and deliberately set a trap for them.

So when he came outside the Black Rock Valley, he didn't rush in. Instead, he took the Church family members to observe for a while.

Herague happened to be standing on top of the castle at the entrance. Brak was a little surprised when he saw it. After sensing it, he found that the control of the witch formation was still in his hands, and he felt much relieved.
