Chapter 263: Get Rid of Future Trouble
Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion
No one, including Jacob, Spencer, or the many knights, ever expected that the sorcerer who killed Warren and Reja was still waiting here. In almost every case, the murder would hurriedly escape from the site as fast and far as possible. Therefore, when Jacob and the knights first arrived at the living room, they were only looking for clues and evidence, but it never occurred to them that there was another person there!
Lucien took advantage of this, and he called it the psychological magic.
When Jacob saw the gray spider nets covering his whole body and noticed a person slowly showing up in the space, he immediately realized what was going on there. He was not frightened, instead, he was furious. He tightened all his muscles under the armor to break the fibres, but the threads were stronger than he thought. He could not move at all, not to mention reaching to the sword around his waist called Ice Break.
The second circle spell, Spider Web!
Experienced as Jacob was, he knew that being trapped here meant his demise. He had to keep intervening Lucien’s casting to buy himself more time to get rid of the threads. Thus, he opened his mouth wide and the tusks in it grew longer. When he was about to use Roaring to stun the sorcerer, Lucien pointed at him with his coral staff, and a middle-sized lightning ball directly dashed into the open mouth!
The second circle spell of the Ambola staff, Lightning Ball.
If Jacob could move right now, there was no way that Lucien could do this. However, in Lucien’s eyes, Jacob was just like a fixed target for practicing casting!
Jacob’s whole brain was instantly numbed by the lightning ball, and he could not make any sound at all.
However, due to his powerful Werewolf Blessing, Jacob recovered from it quite fast. After all, this was just a second circle spell, and the fact that it was cast by a third circle sorcerer could not make it any more powerful.
Lucien knew this. After Lightning Ball, he started to cast another spell in a weird intonation. A beam of gray ray shot directly out of Lucien’s right hand, which was covered by a white glove, and it instantly hit Jacob’s body.
The third-circle Necromancy spell, Enfeeblement Ray, and it could quickly exhaust the person’s stamina.
Jacob’s black armor lit up to prevent the ray from affecting his body. However, although his armor was great against physical attack, it did not work that well with magic. The gray ray went directly into his body, and Jacob immediately felt cold. He felt tired, but again, because of his powerful Blessing, he was not entirely exhausted.
The ring on Jacob’s right hand flashed, and lightning was summoned, going directly toward Lucien.
Jacob knew that he was not good at ranged attack, so he bought this expensive magic ring.
At the same time, Jacob’s relatively good-looking face started to get distorted. His cheekbones started to protrude, his eyes became red, and wolf fur started to grow out of his face. Jacob’s whole body bulged and his size increased by half, even including his ten knuckles!
Within two seconds, Jacob now looked just like a huge wolf!
Werewolf’s Rampage. Once it was activated, the person’s strength and speed would be greatly improved, and would also be immune to most mind-affecting spells. At the same time, however, the person was not able to use magic items in Rampage.
The spider webs suddenly became too fragile to stop Jacob. Gasping, Jacob marched forward toward Lucien with great effort.
Lucien quickly covered himself with a layer of golden and white flames and shielded himself from the lightning. After a few seconds, when Lucien was ready for another round of casting, the crystal ball rose above his head and burst out dazzling light.
Lucien clenched his fists and the light shone on Jacob. Instantly, Jacob felt that the living room’s floor was like a mire, dragging him downwards, thus he had to make a lot of effort to pull his feet up to keep moving. The rest of the spider threads all over Jacob were not making it any easier for him.
The second-circle Astrology spell, Grasping Earth!
Jacob’s bent wolf back suddenly straightened up, and a wolf shadow came out from him. The shadow was free from the spider webs and the sinking floor, and it jumped right toward Lucien.
Werewolf Blessing, Unholy Blight!
Holy light burst out from Lucien’s chest, and a beam of flame-like light from the roof directly hit the shadow and made it disappear in a second.
Divine spell, Flame Strike!
Jacob became weaker when the shadow was destroyed, and he almost stopped moving forward.
Seizing the chance, Lucien cast Enfeeblement Ray on Jacob again.
Being hit by the gray ray again, Jacob did not even have the strength to roar. He knew that things could not keep going like this, so he, at the great cost of feedback damage afterwards, activated Rampage again! Only a grand knight could do this twice within this short period of time! Jacob started advancing toward Lucien again!
Lucien’s left hand shone with cold light, and the frost blades perfectly struck Jacob’s shanks! Although the blades could not really hurt Jacob because of the heavy armor he was wearing, the frost quickly turned into ice and froze Jacob’s legs to the floor.
However, because of Werewolf’s power, the ice instantly broke into pieces.
When Jacob was ready to bite Lucien’s throat open, layers of new spider webs covered his body again. Jacob roared furiously.
Lucien was prepared for this fight. He had his plan and strategies in mind. This was the power of a sorcerer. In front of a prepared middle-rank sorcerer, if a level four knight did not have some secret power or great magic items, basically the knight would have no hope in winning the battle.
Again, with Lucien pointing the Amboula staff at Jacob’s huge mouth, another lightning ball rushed in there. Jacob’s roar was thus instantly cut off.
When Jacob was still trying his best to get rid of the new spider webs, he heard the sorcerer casting the same weird spell again! The gray ray hit him again!
Jacob’s knees suddenly lost all the strength, and he almost kneeled down on the floor. However, the spider webs not even let him fall down!
Jacob was gasping. His throat was making a harsh noise. However, it could not turn into a roar. Jacob’s eyes, staring at Lucien, were filled with great despair and anger.
Finally, Enfeeblement Ray worked!
There was still a smile on Lucien’s face, but he directly ignored the way Jacob stared at him. Lucien was waiting for his cooldown time to cast the last spell.
After a few seconds, Lucien’s raised his right hand and pointed at Jacob’s left chest. A black hole appeared in front of Jacob’s chest and the magic item he was wearing turned into colourful particles in solids, gases and liquids.
That was Lucien’s special spell, Elemental Order, and Lucien also liked to call the spell Item Destroyer.
Jacob’s eyes opened wide, and the veins in his eyeballs almost exploded. When Jacob was still striving to recover his power, Lucien cast Elemental Order again.
Jacob was shocked to find that the wolf fur in front of his chest and his muscles started to dissolve due to some mysterious and unstoppable power. His flesh was turned into colourful particles and his heart was thus directly revealed!
Jacob heard something about this horrible spell before. He could not believe the young sorcerer in front of him had this kind of power!
Before Jacob’s muscles and skin could grow back, Lucien lifted his Amboula staff again and shot a strong acid ball directly toward Jacob’s heart.
The strong acid immediately covered Jacob’s heart, and the wolf-like man burst out a miserable, shrill cry out of the great pain.
At this time, Lucien cast a green acid arrow and the arrow fiercely penetrated Jacob’s heart.
The level four knight just died like this. In front of a sorcerer, Jacob did not even manage to have the chance to make use of his strengths such as his power, speed and agility.
“Go meet your son in hell,” said Lucien very calmly. Then, a big fireball was summoned and Jacob’s body was blasted. Lucien did not want to leave any evidences here that could reveal his special power, Elemental Order.
Although the fireball was powerful, Jacob’s black armor still looked pretty solid. The fire covered Jacob’s whole body when the spider webs were lit on fire.
This was why Lucien did not choose to use fire to attack Jacob—the spider webs would be burned down.
Lucien closed his eyes and started to sense the surroundings using his spiritual power. He saw that Spencer, instead of rushing to save his master’s life, hurriedly turned around and escaped away. He must have somehow confirmed Jacob’s death.
Spencer was only hired by Jacob. There was no way that Spencer would risk his own life to seek revenge for Jacob and Warren.
Lucien knew this well. So he did not bother killing Spencer. Lucien took away Jacob’s sword, armor, money and the rest of his magic items. He also left the unique marks of the Congress of Magic and the Will of Elements to show the East Haven people their power. So, they would draw the conclusion that Warren and Jacob were killed by a sorcerer because they pissed off the Congress and the Will of Elements. Therefore, Lucien could be totally free of future trouble.
