222: Chapter 222 The Desolate Town! Killing the Wizard Harrison!

Cedar Town, a quiet town in the hinterland of Cangyuan Territory famous for its cedar wood.

Rowan and the other two stood on a small hill outside the town, looking at the town from afar.

Aurora suddenly sniffed, her expression becoming solemn. She said in a low voice:

"The aura of life here is so faint... It's almost as if it has been drained by something."

"Moreover, the Blood Source aura is even stronger than in Lorne Town. Someone has conducted a larger-scale ritual inside. The scale is at least twice that of Lorne Town."

Garuvi did not speak, but her gaze had become sharp.

She slowly tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, and the blood-red battle qi in her body began to circulate quietly.

This was the territory of the Lance Family.

Even though she was now slandered as a traitor, stripped of her right of inheritance, and wanted by the entire empire, she still had feelings for this land that she could not let go of.

Rowan felt the suppressed killing intent on her, but he didn't say much. He just turned to Aurora and asked: "Can you pinpoint the target's specific location?"

Aurora nodded: "I will try."

She took out the blood ash bone conch, formed a hand seal with both hands, and a layer of faint red light began to flicker.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and pointed to the southeast of the town: "Confirmed. In that direction."

Rowan looked in the direction her finger was pointing:

"Garuvi, you break in from the front to attract their attention. No need to use your full strength."

"Leave the rest to me."

"Understood." Garuvi nodded without any superfluous words, her figure flashed, and she set off directly.

At this moment, southeast of the town, in a stone house built of bluestone.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark red wizard robe was standing in front of a wooden bed.

He looked at the man on the bed who had just opened his eyes, with uncontrollable pride on his face:

"Don't lie there, get up."

The young man on the bed moved his fingers, feeling the brand-new power in his body, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He rolled off the bed, bowed deeply to Wizard Harrison, and said excitedly:

"Teacher! It was a success!"

"I am a Third-Circle Wizard now!"

Beside the bed, another slightly older young man also smiled and said:

"Congratulations, Teacher! The experiment was a success!"

"With this, our ritual derivation has taken another big step forward!"

Harrison smiled and was about to say something.

Suddenly, he was terrified.

He could feel an extremely Blazing aura rushing straight towards him!

That aura carried undisguised killing intent and hatred, like a burning fire, wanting to burn everything along the way to ashes!

After carefully sensing the intensity and nature of that aura, he calmed down, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth instead:

"Earth Knight... Path of Blood Fire... Heh, so it is that Blood Rose Knight who has arrived."

"It seems she discovered the situation in the town and rushed over in a hurry, without even figuring out what she was going to face."

He straightened his sleeves while secretly calculating in his heart.

A newly advanced Earth Knight, although a bit troublesome, with his peak Sixth-Circle strength, it wasn't something he couldn't handle.

If he could take her down and send her to the Black Rock Duke's mansion, he would surely be able to trade for many good things.

Just as he was thinking.

Boom——!!

The walls of the stone house exploded!

Rubble shot in all directions like shrapnel, and dust filled the air!

A figure wrapped in blood-red battle qi pierced through the dust and rushed straight towards Wizard Harrison without a word!

Around her, a blood-colored rose condensed from battle qi bloomed magnificently on the scene.

The rose presented a gorgeous blood red!

Garuvi was in mid-air, her sword already drawn!

A blood-colored sword light slashed straight at Harrison's head!

Wizard Harrison chuckled, not dodging or avoiding, but just raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and a shield appeared out of thin air, forcibly taking that sword light!

Bang——!!

The sword light collided with the shield.

Violent air waves spread to the surroundings!

The entire stone house collapsed completely in this collision, and rubble fell like a rainstorm!

The two young wizards took the opportunity to run far away. They knew this was not a battle they could participate in.

Seeing that the blow failed, Garuvi landed, spun around, and slashed horizontally with another sword!

Rose petals rotated and danced with her sword momentum, turning into countless sharp crimson light blades, shooting towards Wizard Harrison like a rainstorm!

Wizard Harrison, however, remained unhurried.

He turned into a wisp of dark red smoke to dodge the attack, and at the same time, he didn't stop talking, teasing:

"The Blood Rose Knight is indeed young and promising. Having just broken through to Earth Knight, you can use the Path of Blood Fire to this extent. I admire you, I really do."

"However, you are still too impulsive. Young people, impulsiveness comes with a price!"

Before he finished speaking, four dark red magic chains emerged from the ground like poisonous snakes, entangling Garuvi's hands and feet!

Garuvi's pupils shrank slightly, but she was not panicked at all.

She flicked her wrist, and the sword light drew a perfect arc around her, precisely cutting off the four magic chains.

However, in this brief pause, Wizard Harrison had already completed his next spell.

"Now, it's time to end this!"

A more majestic dark red magic power condensed in mid-air, turning into a magic claw condensed from blood mist, grabbing towards Garuvi's head!

Mist Lord · Ember Fire Soul-Binding Claw!

Garuvi looked solemn, holding her sword horizontally across her chest, and the light of her Blood Rose Knight Battle Aspect surged again, preparing to take this blow head-on.

Just at this moment——

A tiny blood flower suddenly burst from Wizard Harrison's heart.

His body stiffened suddenly.

That falling blood-mist magic claw dissipated with a bang less than three feet above Garuvi's head, as if it had been popped like a bubble, turning into dark red light spots that dissipated in the air.

Wizard Harrison lowered his head, looking somewhat blankly at the small hole in his chest that was bubbling with blood.

The edges of the small hole were extremely smooth, as if pierced by some extremely sharp object.

But strangely, he didn't feel any sound of arrows breaking through the air, didn't feel any magic fluctuations, and didn't even feel any killing intent.

That attack seemed to have appeared out of thin air from the void, without any warning, without any trace.

His body swayed, and he staggered back two steps, leaning against a half-collapsed wall. Then, following some intuition, he looked towards a higher roof in the town.

There, a man and a woman stood.

The man held a bow, the bowstring still vibrating gently.

The woman wore a silver-white wizard robe, and her honey-gold long hair fluttered gently in the evening wind.

Those lake-blue beautiful eyes held a trace of amazement, and a trace of calmness that seemed taken for granted.

This... what is this?!

Harrison felt extremely puzzled. He moved his lips a few times, seeming to want to say something.

But he could no longer open his mouth.

His body and spiritual space had been completely eroded by an incomparably tyrannical annihilation force.

His vision began to blur, his body slid slowly along the wall, leaving a dark red bloodstain on the wall, and finally his head hung down, motionless.

The two young wizards outside the house, seeing their teacher killed, turned deathly pale instantly.

The two looked at each other, turned around abruptly, and wanted to run away separately——

But two silver-white beams of light hit the back of their heads, and the two fell softly to the ground without even having time to groan.

Aurora retracted her finger, magic fluctuations still lingering on her fingertip, and smiled:

"Yay, everyone gets a share!"

Rowan jumped down from the roof, confirmed that everyone was completely dead, and then turned to Garuvi:

"Are you okay?"

Garuvi shook her head and sheathed her sword.

She looked around at the dead silent town, thought of the current Marquis Lance, and a trace of faint melancholy flashed in her eyes.

She was silent for a moment, then whispered:

"Thank you."

Rowan didn't say much, just nodded, then took the ring off Wizard Harrison's finger, and turned to Aurora:

"What about this town?"

Aurora sighed softly and said:

"There are no living people left in a town like this. Let's go check that Blood Source branch node."

Rowan nodded, the three of them stopped lingering, turned around, and walked deeper into the town.
