After Katarina used all her strength to break the wind shield, her moves were outdated and the opponent easily dodged it. However, because of the dodge, Lorenzo's moonlight magic was also interrupted, allowing Rhode to escape.
At this time, the clothes on his upper body had disappeared, and his hair, beard and eyebrows were also gone. His skin showed a very strange green color, which was due to the magic of the moonlight seeping into his body. If there was more of that magic, his body would turn into fragile fragments and return to nothingness.
"It's rare to break through in the middle of a battle. Betrayer, you're really lucky to have such a companion." After Catalina advanced, Lorenzo already felt threatened, and his mental strength was also consumed a lot. He didn't want to tangle with them anymore. He stepped back a few steps and took out a short-distance teleportation scroll from his pocket. As the scroll was activated, a magic circle appeared under his feet. He looked at Catalina and smiled and said, "Say hello to the Chinese for me."
Catalina wanted to keep him, but her fighting spirit was just beginning to develop, and after that outburst, her body was already exhausted. Moreover, if Lorenzo had not used up most of his strength on Rhode, how could she, who had just stepped into the lower level, be a match for a mid-level peak mage
She was making an attacking gesture in vain, trying hard not to fall down, and watched the opponent turn into a shadow and disappear before their eyes.
As Lorenzo left, the rune chain that bound Rhodes also dissipated into the air. Rhodes' body was exhausted and he knelt on one knee. He panted for a long time, and used his fighting spirit to slowly expel the power of the moonlight in his body, and his skin color returned to normal.
"Ah..." Catalina slowly sat down on the ground, the wounds on her body still oozing blood.
"Run your fighting spirit to the wound and suppress the blood vessels. Don't be too intense, do it slowly." Rhodes instructed. He tore off a few pieces of cloth from his clothes and began to bandage Katarina's wound.
Catalina sighed, "I didn't expect the magician to be so powerful. Even though I have fighting spirit, I still have no power in front of him."
"Lorenzo is not an ordinary magician." Rhodes was silent for a while and said, "If I am not mistaken, the magic that binds me is the Word of Truth, a very powerful ancient magic."
"Power Word? What is that?"
"It's all in the past. Let's deal with the troubles at hand." Rhodes shook his head and continued to bandage her, but his thoughts kept churning. Could it be that the Temple of Wisdom has already found the inheritance of the Tower of Talismans in the Seven Sacred Towers
At this time, the surroundings were in complete chaos, and the camp was full of people running around in panic. From the corner of the street where the two of them were, they could see the camp's material warehouse, the door of which had been broken open, and many people, led by the rebels, rushed in...
——————————
When Lorenzo appeared again, he was already in a valley not far from the school, surrounded by a wilderness. When the formation dissipated, he saw Priest Sophia and nearly twenty people waiting for him beside a large magic formation.
"Lady Sophia, Lady Russell." Russell was the white-haired old man who met at the stone house base last time. He was also a second-level priest.
Priest Sophia asked, "You launched the operation five hours earlier. What's going on? Shouldn't you have launched the operation at midnight?"
"They started it first. However, they were not well prepared."
"Does that mean everything is still under control?"
"Yes. Camp No. 3 is in chaos, and people in other camps have also started to move. Although I didn't set the fire like I did in Camp No. 3, it must have caused some commotion. Those who are guarding the slave camps should be unable to take care of themselves."
"The way you control people is really unique. It has broadened my horizons." Priest Sophia said.
"That was just a small formation I learned before." Lorenzo looked at the large formation on the ground and sighed, "Compared with the mark that Mr. Russell gave me, it is really far inferior."
"No, I happened to see a mark left on the body of a rebel these days. It's very simple and unique. Although it looks similar to Russell's beacon, its essence is completely different. Russell's beacon does not have the ability to control the other party's mind. Your little gadget is no less sophisticated than his."
"You're too kind. It's just misleading some fools. Some self-righteous or cowardly guys need a push to get things done. If the temple needs it, I'm willing to contribute this magic." Lorenzo said calmly.
"Really? Mr. Lorenzo is very generous." Priest Sofia smiled at him, "How many years have you been in the temple?"
"It's been five years. But I still remember vividly the scene where I was chased by the Temple of Nature and fell into a coma, and was finally rescued by the priests of the Temple of Wisdom."
"You are very talented in the temple's spells, and you are one of the fastest priests to learn 'Starlight Meditations'. Once you successfully complete this test, you will be the youngest third-level priest in the temple."
"Wisdom is supreme. It will be my greatest honor. Only the Temple of Wisdom would be so tolerant to accept an outsider. I will firmly believe in the source of wisdom for the rest of my life."
"The true God does not need believers, only followers. Remember this."
Priest Sophia didn't say anything more, but gestured to Russell, "Since the other party can't wait to enjoy this feast, let's get started."
Russell placed the last crystal on the corner of the magic circle to form a complete circuit, then held a magic wand tightly in both hands and began to release his mental power.
Lorenzo stood behind Sophia, watching the magic circle slowly activate, but no one noticed that a magic circle in his palm was also activated at the same time, emitting a faint purple light.
Russell's spellcasting process took about ten minutes. After the formation was fully activated, a disc-shaped portal was formed above the ground.
Russell looked up and said to Priest Sophia, "The beacon has been opened. You can start."
———————————
At the same time, there was chaos in Crete's room.
Three minutes ago, the mysterious diagram in Crete's hand suddenly shone brightly, and the entire magic array separated from his skin and floated into the air, expanding at an extremely fast speed to a diameter of about two meters. The mysterious runes in the diagram rotated continuously along their own routes, and finally formed a portal as big as a round table on the ceiling.
Ji Yijun made a prompt decision, opened the door, and asked Wu Qi to find Morey who lived next door. - In order to be able to solve Crete's problems at any time, Luo Ling invited Morey to come here to support.
Tang Feng, who was originally worried outside, saw the opportunity and pulled Huang Zheng and others to rush in, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
"Krete, how do you feel?" Ji Yijun helped Krete sit down on the bed.
Krete retched several times and said weakly, "I feel... all the strength in my body has been drained away. Brother Ji, we have conjured this big thing. What should we do?"
Ji Yijun randomly touched his chest and wrist, and it seemed that the problem was not serious. He said: "It's good that you are not dead. No matter what this is, we will fight it."
He turned to look at Tang Feng who was still in a daze, threw the pistol to him and said, "All of you, be prepared. No matter what this thing is, no matter what jumps out of it, you must hit it hard!"
"This is a teleportation array!" Morey's voice came from the door, and he and Wu Qi rushed in.
"Can you get rid of it?" Ji Yijun asked.
"It's incredible that such a complex formation can be stimulated by Crete. This is a technology I have never seen before." He took out a notebook from his shirt pocket, pulled out a ballpoint pen from it, and began to trace the pattern above his head.
Ji Yijun looked at the spinning diagram and felt dizzy after a while. But Morey continued to draw diligently with excitement on his face.
"This is a very sophisticated magic array. It is very different from the school I studied. I have never seen it before. So I couldn't tell that Krit had carved such a large array on his hand a few days ago."
“Some of the characters are used in ways that are just… incredible!”
"There are actually overlapping functions? Teleportation, identification, and defense. Amazing!"
"No, the formation is not formed here. Krit only has a trigger in his hand."
"This... I don't understand."
Mo Lei was analyzing the formation in a trance, but Ji Yijun couldn't sit still, "Old Mo! Hurry up and do something, maybe something will rush over from the opposite side in the next second."
Morey pointed to a wooden cup in the dormitory and said, "Use your fighting spirit and throw this towards the teleportation array."
Ji Yijun did as he said and threw the cup. With a snap, the cup did not pass through the magic circle to another space. Instead, it ignored the light bands and hit the ceiling directly.
"You can't get through?" Ji Yijun said.
"Try again. Throw it there." Morey stretched out his hand, and several silver threads flew out from his fingertips, taking the cup off the ground and handing it to Ji Yijun. Ji Yijun did the same thing, and the poor cup was smashed onto the ceiling again, leaving a small hole.
"You don't have permission from the magic circle, so you can't pass." Morey concluded.
"Isn't it better to just destroy this formation?" Wu Qi asked behind Ji Yijun.
"It's not so easy to destroy this formation." Morey stretched out two fingers, and two silver threads emerged from his fingertips and began to dance in the air. After a moment, the trajectory of the dancing silver threads formed a ball of light with dense runes rotating on it.
He waved his hand and the light ball slowly flew towards the teleportation array. However, unlike the wooden cup, this light ball was blocked by an invisible force as soon as it approached the magic array. Clusters of electric sparks suddenly appeared between the light ball and the magic array. The crackling sound lasted for about five seconds, and then the light ball was annihilated.
"The energy supply for this formation does not come from Crete's body. He may just be a coordinate. The magic energy comes from the other side of the portal through space. There are no physical crystals and lines here, so it ignores physical attacks. It also has a strict anti-magic system. My magic-breaking light ball just now couldn't get close to it. I'm afraid only a high-priced magician or above can use magic to destroy this formation."
"What should we do?" Ji Yijun asked, "Then we can only passively take the beating? Wu Qi, go find Wang Jiyuan and ask more people to help. It seems that we can only fight a blocking battle here."
