The bald middle-aged man didn’t seem to want to waste time. The magic in his hand was thrown towards Mallory.
Mallory became worried when he saw the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the man. But he was well prepared. He quickly held up a magic shield in front of him.
Boom!
With Mallory as the center, a huge fire wave swept around.
The teachers also released defensive magic to protect their students.
Seeing that Mallory was instantly swallowed up by the fire, Marquis Hyman was also shocked. At the same time, he looked at Locke in a hurry, but he was disappointed that Locke didn’t mean to do anything. He was still sitting there calmly.
Boom!
Under the huge impact, the entire hall began to shake. A beautifully-carved sculpture was instantly smashed into pieces by the shock wave. The ornaments on the wall and the precious oil painting were also smashed under the powerful force. The magnificent hall was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Half a minute later, the fire wave finally dissipated.
The whole hall was in ruins, with tables, chairs, crystal fragments on the ground, and broken bricks and stones everywhere.
In the center of the explosion, Mallory’s hair was in a mess, and his originally gorgeous clothes were burned ragged by the flames. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Although the teachers were protecting them in the front, the power of the level-6 magic was so great that just the power it released had blown everyone to the ground, making them turn upside down.
Count Brandon, Count Bazel and the others were much better. The bald middle-aged man obviously knew to save his people’s faces when he attacked, so the explosion had little effect on them.
“Eh?” The middle-aged man glanced at Mallory with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He said in a painful voice, “I didn’t expect you to block it.”
Looking at the embarrassed Marquis Hyman and the other hostile forces, Count Brandon’s eyes flashed with excitement. He shouted at the surrounding guards, “Arrest them. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!”
The guards of several big families were excited to see Count Brandon’s powerful assistant. They rushed to the people in the hall.
“Don’t kill me… The Hill family is willing to surrender!”
Many people had been shocked by the magic just now. When they saw the guards rushing over, they didn’t dare to resist and directly cried out to surrender.
Compared to these forces, the teachers in the school were much calmer. Led by Mrs. Beulieu, they formed a row to protect the students behind.
“Mallory, are you okay?”
In a flash, Marquis Hyman came to the side of Mallory, helped Mallory up and asked worriedly.
Mallory shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
“Another trouble is coming.”
Looking at Marquis Hyman, the bald middle-aged man chuckled and the magic in his hand condensed again. He released the magic at a very fast speed and flew directly in the direction of the two.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion came.
Another powerful explosion came from the hall.
Looking in the direction of the explosion, the bald middle-aged man’s face changed slightly. Even the middle-aged man with a calm face beside him looked up in the direction of the explosion in surprise.
Soon, the fire wave dispersed.
When they saw the situation in the center of the explosion, everyone was shocked.
Different from the last time, four red shields appeared in the center of the explosion. The shields were in four directions, blocking all the explosions outside.
In the middle of the shield, besides Mallory and Marquis Hyman, there was another person.
“Are you watching me make a fool of myself on purpose?” Looking at Locke, who just showed up at this time, Mallory complained. While complaining, he was in full surprise. Although he knew that Locke could deal with level-5 magical beasts with great strength, he was still frightened when he saw that Locke could take the magic of level 6 so easily.
It seemed that Locke hadn’t turned eighteen yet!
A strong man of level 5 under 18 years old, no, comparable to a strong practitioner of level 6.
Somehow, while Mallory was shocked, he felt scared at the same time. Fortunately, such a genius was not his enemy!
“Mr. Capet, as long as you help the Hyman family get through this crisis, the Hyman family is willing to pay you half of the family property.” Staring at the two level-6 mages in the distance, Marquis Hyman said in a low voice.
“Half of the family property?” Locke put away the magic shield in his hand, looked at the two middle-aged men, frowned, and said thoughtfully, “The two level-6 mages… I am much stressed…”
Hearing Locke’s words, Marquis Hyman was a little depressed. Didn’t Locke want to help? Or did he think the reward was not enough? But this was the highest pay the Hyman family could offer. If it was more, even if the Hyman family was not destroyed by Count Brandon, its foundation would be shaken, and its economy would collapse and eventually go bankrupt.
“But…” just when Marquis Hyman was in a bad mood, Locke suddenly said with a smile, “Half of the property is a good deal. I agreed.”
Although he was the boss of Bryce and others, he deserved what he should get.
Seeing that Locke had agreed, Marquis Hyman was overjoyed and relieved. He was really afraid that Locke would demand an exorbitant price. Although half of the family property was a big deal for the Hyman family, it was worth it to keep the family!
“Two lords, this is Locke Capet I mentioned before.” Looking at Locke, Count Brandon’s eyes were full of hatred.
“Boy, I have to admit that you are really talented.” Sensing the strong magic power from Locke, the middle-aged man with a shrill voice sighed, “But you are just a little arrogant. Do you think you are qualified to be our opponent after taking a casual blow from me? Are you naive or stupid?”
Whoosh!
The Sword in the Stone flew out of the system space and landed in the hands of Locke. Looking at the two people, he said lightly, “Don’t waste time. You can fight together.”
Hiss!
Everyone gasped in astonishment. How dare Locke challenge him at this time? Was he courting death?
Magic and swordsmanship practiced at the same time?
Although surprised, the bald middle-aged man burst into laughter when he saw Locke look down upon him like that. His face was ferocious. “Arrogant! I want to crush your bones with my own hands!”
Seeing that Locke was going to face two level-6 mages alone, Mallory and Marquis Hyman were shocked. They wanted to persuade Locke, but on second thought, Athena, as a level-7 practitioner, must have known what was going on here now. If he dared to face the two level-6 mages alone, he must be confident in himself.
At this point, the two stopped talking and slowly retreated.
