When A Mage Revolts

Chapter 364: Stalking the failed assassin

Views:

When every mage approached the warehouse, Benjamin used the water element induction method in advance to carefully observe their and the assassins' demeanor and actions.

Most people sneaked around, walking around on the street, and then cautiously entered the warehouse. They looked around aimlessly from time to time, just in case someone was watching them.

However, among these thirty or so people, one person is different.

It was a thin young man, although he was also hiding in his cloak, looking around cautiously. But the key point is that he looked at the spot very accurately, and he often glanced at the location where the assassin was hiding. And when he appeared, the assassins hiding in the dark looked at him differently from others.

How could this escape the eyes of the system

From the beginning, Benjamin had wanted to find out the traitors. He had ordered the system to record the performance of those suspicious people, put it forward, and analyzed it repeatedly. Even the heartbeat, pupils, and respiration had to be paid special attention to by the system.

Although the system stated that it had nothing to do with the lie detector, it still agreed under Benjamin's coercion.

And finally, after watching the man's expression more than thirty times, it said decisively in a tone that was about to spit out: "Yes, he must be the traitor!"

Therefore, the scene just happened.

"We have a traitor in our midst."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked in the direction of Benjamin's gaze with stunned expressions. As for this traitorous mage, his psychological quality is probably not very good - he was not a member of the Freemasonry in the first place. He was just scared, so he took refuge there in the past few days.

In such an environment, before Benjamin even pointed it out to him, he was agitated and his body began to tremble.

As a result, other people's eyes gradually focused on him.

"Mage, do you have anything to defend yourself?" Benjamin spoke, looking at the thin mage coldly, like a wolf looking at the sheep that had mixed up with the wolves.

"What? I..." The other person sounded a little panicked, but still tried to maintain his composure, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me? I don't know what this means."

When Benjamin saw this, he didn't bother to ask anymore. He just stared at each other wordlessly with the others.

Under this kind of pressure, most people can't stand it, let alone this traitor who already has a guilty conscience. After a moment of silence, he suddenly recited a spell, used the flying technique, turned around and ran away.

And Benjamin didn't even have to take action himself.

Binding, gravity, freezing, controlling the fire ring... more than thirty mages took action together, the scene was indeed quite spectacular. The overwhelming control magic was like a mountain falling from the sky. As soon as the thin mage flew to the door, he fell to the ground like a sparrow with broken wings.

Benjamin could also sense that the eyes of the assassins around him changed slightly when they saw this scene.

…Are they scared

"Sir, what should we do with him?" At this time, a mage turned his head, looked at Benjamin and asked.

"He has betrayed us, and may have leaked all the information to the church." Benjamin said without changing his expression, "Kill him."

Everyone's eyes froze when they heard this.

After a brief silence, the spells sounded in unison, and the mages unanimously chose the fireball technique. Countless fireballs gathered together, illuminating the entire warehouse and engulfing the thin mage.

In a matter of seconds, he vanished into thin air, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind.

Looking at the gradually extinguishing flames, many mages showed some hesitation on their faces - for some of them, this may be their first time to kill someone.

Benjamin spoke at this time, with a calm and solemn expression, and said: "The world is more cruel than we imagined. Only a pair of hands stained with sin and blood can carve out a future under the enemy's gaze."

The mages turned around and were silent for a while. Finally, they all nodded firmly to Benjamin.

Seeing this, Benjamin smiled and suddenly said: "It's not safe here, and his position has been exposed. Let's talk somewhere else."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned again.

Not only them, but also the assassins hiding outside the warehouse, those who were relatively close, couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they heard this sentence.

However, they were not left with any time to think about it. As soon as Benjamin finished speaking, he waved to everyone, turned around and left the warehouse from the side.

Everyone was a little confused, but after all, they had just punished a traitor, and the location was very likely to be exposed. Therefore, they did not ask the superiors, but followed him one after another. As for the assassins, after a while of hesitation, they quietly followed the group of mages and left the abandoned warehouse.

Obviously, they had been squatting for so long. If Benjamin and his party were allowed to leave just now, wouldn't it be all in vain

"Be careful, I think that guy may have spotted us."

While following, an assassin whispered to his companion beside him.

"It doesn't matter, just keep an eye on it. As soon as they cast their magic, we'll split up and run away." The assassin who seemed to be the leader whispered, "We'll stay away from each other later. As long as we wait until they disband, take out each of them." Write down your address and report it to the superior, and our mission will be completed."

The other assassins also nodded after hearing this.

Then, they looked at the mage in front and Benjamin, their leader, with even more vigilant eyes.

Under their observation, the team was heading outside the city, and the road was becoming more and more remote. Therefore, they could not help but guess that Benjamin might continue the meeting outside the city.

"This guy is too wary."

The assassin leader raised his head, glanced at Benjamin who was walking at the front, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Really? Thank you for the compliment." However, at this moment, the voice that sounded familiar to them suddenly came from behind them.

Shocked, the assassins turned back. In the dark night, Benjamin was flying not far behind them, watching them with a smile.

At that moment, their hair almost stood up.

"You...how could you..."

This feeling of fright, which was comparable to that of a ghost, made the assassin leader breathless for a moment, and he could not even speak completely.

… When did you go around to the back

After being speechless for a moment, he took a deep breath and looked in the direction of the mage team. I saw that the mages who were heading out of the city had stopped at this time, turned around, and looked at them hidden in the shadows of the corner. Their eyes could not be said to be friendly.

At the end of the mage team, another "Benjamin" was standing there, looking at the assassins with the same smile.

Suddenly, the expressions of the assassins became more horrified.

This... what kind of magic is this

A clone technique? Where can such a thing exist

Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that in order to track the mage, their originally scattered formations have gradually gathered together. And in the current situation, they seem to be... being flanked from both sides

No, that’s not it…

Realizing this, the assassin leader's eyes suddenly looked a little desperate.

"Actually, I also want to spare your lives and torture you. However, you are probably just employed by Aldrich and don't know anything." Benjamin, who was flying behind them, also spoke at this moment, and said casually , "In that case, let's get rid of you all quickly."

As he spoke, the surrounding elements suddenly became restless. The group of assassins caught in the middle suddenly felt great pressure.

"Wait! Don't... don't kill me!" One of the assassins shouted out in panic, "I have something to tell you, don't kill me!"

When the other assassins heard this, they immediately took out their knives and professionally wanted to kill the assassin who spoke.

However, Benjamin was prepared. A burst of water vapor rolled in, and the assassin was pulled out and held up in the air so that other assassins could not touch him.

"What do you know? Say it quickly!" Benjamin suddenly asked sharply.

"I know... I know..." The assassin flying in the air was also a little panicked. He took several deep breaths before speaking tremblingly and replied, "I know, Master Aldrich was just executed today."
