When the ice sword stabbed the young man, something incredible happened.
Somehow, the sharp ice sword failed to cause any injuries. The young man was wearing only the most ordinary clothes, with no enchantment and no defense, but he inexplicably bounced the ice sword away without even breaking a hole in his clothes.
Benjamin couldn't help but frown.
A little weird...
"As you can see, I am different from ordinary people." The young man patted the place where he was stabbed and said calmly, "You can't kill me, so why waste any more energy?"
Benjamin didn't answer. At that moment, he seemed to have discovered something novel, and his curiosity suddenly aroused. He knows very well that magic is the only supernatural power in this world, and there is no such thing as fighting spirit or spiritual power. There must be something weird about this person who can deflect attacks without doing anything.
Thinking this, he suddenly detonated the ice sword and once again released a large shard of ice attack.
Being on the edge of the ice sword, the young man would definitely suffer the greatest attack. However, when the flying ice chips dispersed, Benjamin looked at him again, but he still couldn't see any wounds.
"Why?" Benjamin couldn't help but ask.
"You want to know?" The young man stretched himself and said, "You lift the curse on Sydney, and I will tell you why this is happening."
"It's a beautiful idea." Benjamin refused without hesitation.
This strange phenomenon aroused his interest. Anyway, the other party now has an attitude of "beat him as you like, and if you beat him to death, it's mine." Naturally, Benjamin has nothing to be polite about.
He suddenly recited the spell of the Pillar of Steam, wrapped the young man in steam, and tried to lift him up. And the result was naturally the same. The young man remained motionless, even his hair only fluttered slightly, and he didn't feel affected at all.
However, Benjamin didn't look disappointed at all.
The process of directing water vapor was observed very carefully by him. After observing, he discovered that there seemed to be a strange force lingering around the young man. This power can repel all elements and prevent all magic from truly hitting him, resulting in this seemingly "invulnerable to water and fire" result.
Thinking of this, Benjamin controlled the water vapor again and forced himself close to the young man. However, when the distance between the water vapor and the other party reached a very close level, the water vapor suddenly seemed to lose control and decomposed into the water element again, fleeing away from the young man as if fleeing.
... Is this the secret why he is not afraid of magic
Benjamin mused.
"Are you born with this kind of physique, or did you get it by drinking magic potion the day after tomorrow?" Benjamin couldn't help but ask again.
The young man crossed his hands and looked at him without any intention of answering.
All right…
Benjamin thought for a while and suddenly took out a gun. He used his fastest speed to expand the shooting interface, aimed at the vulnerable part of the young man's body, and pulled the trigger.
boom!
The bullet hit the wall, punching a hole in it.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked to the side. At this moment, the young man had already dodged to the other side, showing a somewhat frightened expression. At the moment of shooting, he used an incredible speed to dodge the blow.
"What the hell..." The young man stared at Benjamin, shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Benjamin shrugged, about to say something provocative. However, he suddenly thought of his previous observations. No matter it's water, ice, air... any magic can't maintain its form around the young man. This means that the ice mist surrounding him cannot actually stop the opponent.
If the young man insists on getting closer, he can even forcefully break through the ice mist, just like he did just now while ignoring the water flow created by Benjamin, and close the distance between them at high speed.
And with the opponent's speed...
Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but change his face slightly. Suddenly, he smiled awkwardly at the other person, then when the young man showed a confused expression, he turned around, turned around and ran away.
Are you kidding me, this guy has magic immunity and his dodge is frighteningly high. As a mage, you should stay as far away as possible.
However, the young man seemed not to let him leave.
"Hey, you want to run away after killing someone?" In just a blink of an eye, the young man chased him and blocked the exit of the corridor, preventing Benjamin from passing through.
"What's the matter, do you still want to avenge her?" Benjamin frowned and tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
"Why should I avenge her?"
“…”
Benjamin was speechless for a while, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Then what do you want?"
The young man pointed to the room and said, "Undo Sydney's curse."
"Why should I help her break the curse?" Benjamin replied confidently, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, but you can't kill me. What I said is right."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "I can return your companion to you."
Benjamin laughed disdainfully and said, "Augustin is not in your hands, how can you give him back to me?"
"Although I'm not sure where he is now, I left him at the hotel in Hank Town with the two guys from the Mages Guild." The young man replied, "It's very possible that he was taken away by the people from the Mages Guild. Let's go, are you going to ask for someone from the Mages Guild? I heard that they have been looking for you for a while, so you'd better be careful."
“…”
For a moment, Benjamin really couldn't think of anything to retort.
If Augustine is really taken away by the Mages Guild, he really doesn't know how to deal with it. He definitely can't come directly to ask for someone, otherwise, there is no difference from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. The queen must be looking forward to this scene.
but…
"Okay, you bring her to me, and I will help her break the curse." With this thought, Benjamin suddenly said, "That's it, what else? If nothing else, I'll take the first step."
He still planned to leave this place first.
Whether Augustine is really in the hands of the Mages Guild is also a matter to be investigated. In short, he didn't want to stay in the same place with a guy he couldn't deal with - what if this guy suddenly changed his mind? Although there was the threat of Sydney's curse, he felt that it was better for him to stay away.
He has experienced enough things in this so-called "massage" shop.
Finally, the young man nodded and made way to leave.
"Okay, just don't default on your debt then."
"Am I someone who will default on my debt?"
When Benjamin said this, the system also said in his heart, "You are it."
Just like that, Benjamin walked to the door of the store. He turned around, looked at the young man with some suspicion, opened the door, and left the place.
After passing through the somewhat deserted streets, he did not rush back to the hotel to rest. Instead, after thinking about it, he disguised himself and secretly arrived at the Mercenary Association branch in Regina.
