"Master Benjamin, please calm down and speak carefully if you have anything to say." At this moment, the king who was being held hostage also spoke, holding back the pain and fear.
"Even if I want to talk it out, you won't give me a chance, right?" Benjamin snorted coldly and asked, "How far is the plan? How many priests have been smuggled into Freden by you?"
As soon as this was said, both Aldrich and the king fell silent.
And the silence said it all.
"Open the window." Benjamin was not surprised when he saw this, but said calmly, "Let me out, and I will spare the king's life."
Aldrich narrowed his eyes: "Even if you run away today, I will catch you one day."
"Just open the window, there's so much nonsense."
Aldrich was silent for a moment, and finally, with a wave of his hand, the stone wall that sealed the window dispersed little by little. The exit leading to the spacious backyard of the palace finally appeared in front of Benjamin again.
Benjamin also showed excitement.
While holding the king hostage, he stepped on the window edge vigilantly, preparing to jump out of the window and leave.
However, at this moment, a strange fluctuation of magic power suddenly came out from the window. Benjamin, who was about to step out of the window, suddenly felt as if there was a mountain pressing on his shoulders, making his movements suddenly slow.
"you… "
Benjamin's eyes changed.
The stone wall sealing the window seemed to have dissipated, but the decomposed earth element did not dissipate. It still lingered around the window, forming a trap similar to gravity, which suppressed him who wanted to pass through. .
—This change did not have any magic fluctuations at first, and Benjamin was not sensitive to the earth element, so he did not notice it at the first time.
Aldrich sneered: "Do you really think I can let you leave so easily?"
At that moment, Benjamin's face turned cold, and the ice dagger in his hand immediately pressed towards the king's neck.
However, he found that the earth elements gathered around him couldn't help but restrict his movements, and it also made it extremely difficult for him to move his wrists. The stroke of the dagger only made a white mark on the king's neck, and not even the blood could be seen.
On the other side, a low spell came from Aldrich's mouth.
This is…
Benjamin recognized the magic.
Wind Beam Kill is the most powerful single-point lethality move in advanced magic - it compresses a large amount of wind elements to form a very thin line of wind, which can penetrate any shield and kill with one blow without any sound. Killing him, punching a bloody hole the size of a finger in the enemy's throat.
Feeling the sudden strong wind in the whole room, Benjamin also realized that he would never be able to block this blow!
-He can't move or dodge now. The wind line is extremely flexible and can completely bypass the king and pass through him from any angle.
Trouble...
In desperation, Benjamin hurriedly recited a spell and summoned a water ball, trying to wrap Aldrich in it and use the interference ability of the forbidden water ball to interrupt the opponent's chanting.
However, the results were unsatisfactory.
During Aldrich's chanting, countless wind elements gathered, forming a strong wind around him. The water ball wanted to get closer, but was blown out of shape by the wind. It was extremely difficult to reach the opponent, and it was even less possible to wrap Aldrich in it.
When Benjamin saw this, he did not show any panic.
If one water balloon doesn't work, then two or three... In a short period of time, the entire room was almost flooded with water. Except for the singing Aldrich who was protected by the strong wind, even Benjamin and the king were submerged in the water. Under the impact of the water flow, the restraint Benjamin felt was slowly weakening.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What happened?" The servants kept knocking on the door, but at this moment, no one cared about it.
Everyone's attention was focused on Aldrich who was singing.
Generally speaking, the chanting time of advanced magic is relatively long. Benjamin should be able to interrupt the opponent's movements through the continuous interference of the water flow.
However, the current situation seems to be somewhat different.
After singing for about ten seconds, Aldrich suddenly opened his eyes. The indifferent eyes were like a sharp sword, cutting through the heavy water in the room and looking at Benjamin.
At that moment, Benjamin's breath suffocated.
—Aldrich had finished chanting.
"Hurry! It's time for you to appear!" He shouted to the system in his heart without hesitation.
At the same time, accompanied by a vague but extremely powerful fluctuation of magic power, the water in front of Benjamin suddenly separated, as if he was plunged into it by something invisible, and rushed out of a narrow tunnel.
It was the wind line that Aldrich summoned.
The thing rushed very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it came to Benjamin's eyes. At a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, without any pause, it aimed at Benjamin's brow and passed by!
boom!
The countless water flows surging in the room seemed to have lost control, suddenly collapsed and turned into water splashes all over the sky, hitting everyone in the room head-on.
At the same time, countless pieces of broken ice and several strong winds carrying moisture... they appeared in this room without warning, and together with the collapsing water splash, they spread in all directions.
At that moment, Aldrich couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Despite the protection of the shield, his sight was still blocked, leaving only a world of blue and white mixed in front of him, like a strange abstract painting.
"How come... you're not dead?"
He frowned and muttered to himself.
He knew very well the killing power of the wind beam. Even those old mages with profound spiritual power would be in a hurry if they wanted to resist, let alone the young man in front of him.
He had also tested the opponent's strength just now. It was quite good for someone in his twenties, but if he really wanted to compare with them, he was probably far behind. There was no way he could block this fatal wind.
So... what's this strange feeling
Just as he took action to disperse these ice-breaking water splashes, suddenly, there was another loud noise.
Aldrich frowned and immediately increased his speed.
I saw that after the ice shards and water splashes all over the sky dispersed, I saw that the whole room was in a mess. Tables and chairs were knocked upside down, and the chandelier was smashed, leaving glass shards all over the floor. The king fell to the ground and groaned feebly.
A large human-shaped hole appeared on the outer wall of the room.
When he first saw the hole, Aldrich was stunned.
He...he ran away
Throughout the room, Benjamin was nowhere to be found. Apart from the blood stains from the stab wound to the king's thigh, there was no other thing on the ground such as the brains that had been blown out by the wind line.
Aldrich was shocked.
How can it be
He looked outside hastily. In the dark night sky, he saw a vague figure flying outward at high speed.
Suddenly, Aldrich's eyes changed.
Although I don’t know how this guy blocked this blow, but... Want to run? no way!
After confirming that the king's life was not in danger, he immediately used his flying technique, jumped up, and chased after him.
Just like that, the king was the only one left in the whole room.
He reluctantly tried to get up, but the wound on his leg made him fall to the ground again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, with a fierce knock on the door, the servants and guards outside finally kicked open the locked door and rushed in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Are you okay?"
They hurriedly helped the king to his feet.
The king shook his head, regained his breath, and immediately grabbed the clothes of a guard and shouted: "Quick! Seal the entire Xuedi City for me! Everyone is guarding the outpost. If they see someone flying out, immediately Report!"
"How, how..." The guard had not yet reacted.
"What are you still hesitating about? Go quickly!" the king roared angrily.
Everyone was shocked, and the guards quickly agreed and left in a hurry to carry out the king's order.
"Your Majesty... your legs..." The servant supported the king, looking at the deep wound on his thigh and the entire trousers that were almost stained red with blood, looking a little at a loss.
Seeing this, the king shook his head weakly.
"...Why are you panicking? I'm fine. Take me to the doctor."
The servant was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind them again.
"It's too early for you to be happy."
Accompanied by the familiar voice and frivolous tone, the king and servants were shocked. However, the change happened so quickly that they didn't even have time to turn around. Two ice blades suddenly appeared and passed through their chests, causing splashes of blood.
"How, how is it possible..."
The king's stunned expression froze on his face, and he used the last bit of strength in his life to murmur like this.
Then, they fell to the ground one after another, with two muffled sounds, like ripe persimmons falling to the ground.
Behind them was Benjamin, who looked indifferent. He walked out slowly from the closet in his room, holding a simple small mirror in his hand.
