Hum!
An astonishing magical fluctuation emanated from the Gray-robed Mage, and a two-meter-long silver spear rapidly condensed in mid-air.
"Silver Knight Spear," the Gray-robed Mage said indifferently.
The silver spear transformed into a bolt of silver lightning, rushing forward in an instant.
The Archangel of Observation immediately raised its shield to block, colliding with the Silver Knight Spear.
Boom!
A piercing explosion rang out.
Where the tip of the Silver Knight Spear met the shield, intense sparks erupted, but it lasted for less than a second.
Crack—
The shield in the Archangel of Observation's hand shattered, and the Silver Knight Spear pierced through the Archangel of Observation's body, crashing into the dense forest behind and disappearing.
Bang!
The Archangel of Observation was shattered in a single blow, dissolving into white specks of light.
A strong wind swept through.
It made the white priest's robe on Lyle flutter loudly.
As an Archangel of Observation, which is a Tier Magic summon of the fourth tier specializing in defense, it had actually been defeated in a single strike by the opponent's spell.
Lyle subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Silver Knight Spear" is a fourth-tier spell of the magic power system, capable of dealing silver-attribute physical damage and carrying the special effect of "Penetration."
Even among fourth-tier spells, it is considered a relatively powerful offensive spell.
Yet, the opponent had easily broken through the Archangel of Observation's defense with a spell of the same tier. Either they possessed some enhancement for this type of spell, or they had some ability to counter it.
Furthermore!
His initial hypothesis was indeed correct; the Gray-robed Mage before him was definitely a powerhouse who had stepped into the Hero Realm.
"Forgot to tell you, kid, I'm particularly good at dealing with Magic Chanters like you who specialize in summoning, especially when it comes to countering the holy attribute."
The Gray-robed Mage's cold, mocking voice rang out: "If this is all you've got, then please go die."
"Don't worry, these Twin Witches will go with you too."
The magic power on the Gray-robed Mage surged again.
A serious expression appeared on Lyle's face. This was his first time facing a powerhouse of the Hero Realm.
He was also extremely unlucky to encounter one that countered the methods he had currently displayed.
The opponents he had encountered before were not very strong, so "Angel Summoning" was enough to handle them, but when facing a powerhouse of this caliber, the weakness of lacking options after summoning an angel was exposed.
He had to summon a fifth-tier angel!
Not intending to reveal his close-quarters combat ability, Lyle could only display summoning magic that also reached the Hero Realm.
Anyway, he was confident he could kill the opponent, so it wouldn't count as exposing himself.
Since he hadn't yet created a fifth-Tier Magic scroll, just as he was planning to consume his own magic power to summon one, he suddenly reacted.
Wait!
Lyle's pupils contracted. Did the opponent just say he would kill the Twin Witches?
He clearly remembered that four years later, when the Great Tomb descended upon this Great Wetlands ruled by the Bone King, the Twin Witches were among the rulers, and they did not die.
What was going on!
Given the personality displayed by this Gray-robed Mage, it was absolutely impossible for him to let the Twin Witches go. So, who saved the Twin Witches?
Lyle subconsciously recalled the fleeting magical fluctuation in the sky when he was fighting the Lizardman.
That wasn't magic!
So it wasn't the Gray-robed Mage's doing. If there really was such a person, the other party was likely hidden in the shadows all along.
"Silver Knight Spear," the Gray-robed Mage's indifferent voice continued.
The silver spear condensed in the air!
Seeing Lyle sitting blankly on the Ghost Hound with no reaction, the Gray-robed Mage sneered: "Are you scared because your strongest method was easily broken? Just another foolish Genius living in the praises of others."
"Then die!"
Whoosh!
The Silver Knight Spear transformed into a bolt of silver lightning, rushing forward.
Only then did Lyle raise his head, as if he had just snapped out of it, looking as if it were too late to resist.
In the shadow of the dense forest trees.
A mass of shadows suddenly squirmed, and then, this black afterimage emerged from the shadows, rushing toward Lyle at extreme speed.
The speed was so fast!
It actually reached Lyle at the same time as the incoming Silver Knight Spear.
This black afterimage slammed into the Silver Knight Spear, causing the spear, which had been aimed at Lyle, to deviate from its original trajectory.
Boom!
The Silver Knight Spear grazed Lyle's right ear, flew behind him, and crashed into the ground, blasting out a deep crater.
And this black afterimage blocked in front of Lyle, looking fiercely at the Gray-robed Mage opposite.
At this moment, Lyle also saw clearly what the shadow that had blocked the attack for him was.
It was a pitch-black panther monster, a size larger than a Ghost Hound, with four tails.
Seeing this suddenly appeared four-tailed black panther, the Gray-robed Mage's pupils contracted sharply: "Magic Shield!"
A layer of invisible magical protection quickly enveloped his entire body.
At the same moment!
This Magic Shield seemed to suffer some kind of attack, and the transparent magical barrier emitted a blue defensive luster on the Gray-robed Mage's left side.
This was not only a sign of being attacked but also helped the caster identify the direction of the attack!
The Gray-robed Mage quickly moved backward to the right, raised his hand toward the left side: "Fear!"
The empty space to the left suddenly rippled, and a huge lizard appeared in the jungle.
It looked very similar to a Stone Lizard, but this lizard was deep blue all over.
"Magic Detection!"
Seeing this giant blue lizard, the Gray-robed Mage's cold face was filled with shock and anger; the situation indicated that this monster had been here for a long time.
He hadn't noticed it at all!
The magic light of detection flickered, but there was no feedback.
"Get out here! You hiding coward!" The Gray-robed Mage shouted coldly, casting another layer of Magic Shield on himself.
The air became quiet again at this moment.
The Emerald Leaf Witch and the Dense Mist Witch had already quietly crawled up from the ground, their faces filled with fear, cautiously retreating into the distance.
As for the Twin Witches' small movements, both Lyle and the Gray-robed Mage noticed them immediately, but neither of them could care about the witch sisters at this moment.
Lyle's expression was also faintly ugly at this moment.
Someone had been hiding in the shadows all along, and he hadn't noticed at all.
Rustle, rustle~
Just then.
Footsteps came from a position not far from Lyle, as if appearing out of thin air.
Lyle immediately turned his head to look in that direction.
Look!
A man with golden hair, deep red pupils, wearing a simple black cloak, and a gentle smile on his face walked out of the forest.
The most eye-catching thing!
Was an owl with deep red pupils on the man's shoulder; the beast's pupils were faintly emitting a dark red light.
This blond man—
The moment Lyle saw him, his pupils contracted sharply, a flash of suspicion appearing in his eyes.
Why is he here!
