Chapter 198 Coping Methods

Chapter 198 Coping Methods

Elise coughed twice, spitting out blood, and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, Leo."

Leo said, "I was just avoiding a trap."

Damn it!

Leo, why don't you listen to me!

Tuoli's angry words echoed in his mind.

Leo pursed his lips.

Leo had just confirmed through the seven-colored dragon scales that Tuoli harbored strong hostility towards him.

He immediately realized that Tuoli was trying to deceive him.

Leo said, "Tori Wizard, if you could control your thoughts, you wouldn't have attacked Iris."

Leo's actions this time were merely a test to see if Tuoli wanted to kill him, not to save Elise.

Strictly speaking, Elise's actions constituted self-salvation.

However, after testing Tuli and confirming that he really wanted to kill him, Leo knew that he was now in the same boat as Banville and Elise.

No matter where they run, they will become the targets of two officially recognized wizards whose emotions have been manipulated.

Hearing Leo's words, Tuoli's eyes turned red, and he said, "Iris, you should die. Leo, you deserve to die too."

Tuli aimed at Elise and Leo, preparing to unleash his giant hand once more.

This time, in addition to magic, Tuoli also unleashed his magical pressure.

This wasn't the first time Leo had felt the magical pressure of a formal wizard; the same sense of pressure he felt when facing Wizard Safi surged into his heart.

Leo secretly cursed his bad luck.

If they were to endure demonic pressure in this way, they would be utterly powerless to retaliate.

But the demonic pressure disappeared not long after.

Leo, puzzled, looked up at Tuoli and saw Tuoli suddenly clutching his head, saying, "Teacher, you can't control me. I am an official wizard of the Tower of Dawn. I am a seeker of truth."

"I will never allow myself to lose my mind and become a beast that acts on instinct."

Seeing this, Leo had a vague idea.

Banville's situation just now had puzzled him.

If Brock really wanted to kill Banville, one spell would probably have been enough.

"It would be incredibly easy for a fully-fledged wizard to kill a wizarding apprentice like us."

It seems that both the wizard Tori and the wizard Brock, who has yet to kill Banville, are themselves resisting the Instructor's magic.

Both Tori and Brock suppressed their abilities when facing us, failing to unleash their full power as formal wizards.

The struggling wizard, Tori, soon had bloodshot eyes as he looked at Leo and the other two.

Leo's heart tightened.

Even though Tuoli failed to unleash the full power expected of a formal wizard, as a formal wizard, his strength far surpassed theirs. Even if he only unleashed a small portion of his power, it was still something that wizard apprentices like Leo could not withstand.

Leo was preparing to face Tori's fierce attack.

On the ship, however, a wizard apprentice seemed to have suffered a mental breakdown, casting a spell on Tori with a look of despair on his face.

The flames struck Tuoli's permanent defensive barrier, sending up a burst of sparks.

"I don't want to die!"

The wizard apprentice, his face filled with despair, cried out as he continued to cast his spell.

"Nobody told me that this grand gathering would put us at odds with official wizards!"

"This isn't fair! We're just wizard apprentices!"

"This isn't right!"

The wizard shouted loudly.

The wizard was indeed desperate.

He doesn't know flight magic.

His companions did not use any flight spells to help him escape.

The wizard knew very well what being left on the ship meant.

Therefore, he went mad and began casting spells on Tuoli.

Although the wizard did not cause Tuoli any harm, Tuoli's attention was drawn to the wizard.

Tuli manipulated the giant hand to change direction and lunged towards the wizard apprentice.

Seeing this, Leo's mind raced as he considered the current situation.

It's unlikely that either Raine or the instructor will continue their offensive against Leo and his group.

However, Tuoli and Brock, influenced by the instructor's magic, will undoubtedly hunt down Leo and the other wizard apprentices from the Tower of Dawn.

In other words, to survive, Leo must either break free from their control or kill them.

Leo couldn't do any of those things.

Breaking a formal wizard's combo spell, or killing two formal wizards protected by a permanent defensive field, are not things that Leo can do in his current state.

Leo realized that the only thing he could do now was...

"escape."

Right now, we can only run as far away as possible and wait for the Tower of Dawn to arrive and provide any rescue.

Of the three official wizards, Kindley has already escaped.

Given the speed of a formal wizard, if he were to flee to the Tower of Dawn, the Tower of Dawn would likely dispatch a formal wizard to provide support quickly.

Thinking of this, Leo picked up Elise and said, "Elise, regardless of whether your spells work or not, when I fly with you, once those two catch up, you must keep casting spells to attack them... prioritize attacking the Tori wizard..."

"Yes."

Leo said, "During this time, if we encounter other wizards, we can prioritize attacking them to slow down their flight speed."

Elise hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After facing the death threat from a formal wizard, Elise became less stubborn than before.

If it were the previous Elise, she might have directly rejected Leo at this point, saying that such methods were too despicable.

After Elise finished speaking, she immediately began preparing to cast the spell.

Leo bit his finger.

It's best to prepare one hundred flesh and blood puppets.

As long as Tori refocuses his attention on Leo and Elise, let them stop him.

This should be able to slow down Wizard Tuoli's pace a little.

As for Leo himself, he used the pumpkin carriage spell to escape from there.

Leo, with Iris in tow, flew away from the ship.

His flying pumpkin was incredibly fast, catching up with the other wizard apprentices who had left earlier in an instant, even leaving them behind.

Elise raised her hand, then quickly lowered it again.

It wasn't that she suddenly had a change of heart and didn't want to attack these wizards.

Rather, Leo's flight speed was too fast. Before Elise's spell could be prepared, these wizard apprentices were left behind, exceeding the attack range of Elise's spell.

Among the people Leo flung away was his teammate Alice.

Alice watched as Leo led Iris away, leaving her behind. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but her words were drowned out by the wind.

Just then, another voice appeared in Leo's mind.

"Leo...Leo...Leo"

"Brock the Wizard?"

It's me.

"Leo, there's something I need to ask you."

"Kill me and the wizard Tori. I don't want to kill Banville with my own hands, even if that's what I really think."

But wizards should restrain their desires and emotions and act rationally.

The instructor used magic to destroy my rationality, causing me to act in a biased way.

This is unacceptable to me.

I know you may not believe me, but I will tell you how to kill us.
