Chapter 225 Overcoming the Fear of Leo
"Of course, I have no interest in such a weak wizard apprentice. I would much rather have your physical body," said the wizard Leo. Upon hearing this, Leo smiled slightly, and then his magical hand transformed into a bow and arrow, which he shot at Sig, who was being controlled by Antos.
Everyone was stunned at the same time, not expecting Leo to be so ruthless. While smiling, he actually shot an arrow directly at his companion's head.
"Senior Antos, be careful."
Kyle reacted quickly, channeling his spiritual energy and casting a spell, sending a piece of bone flying towards Leo's arrow.
In a moment of extreme danger, it deflected Leo's magic hand arrow, causing it to veer off its original trajectory.
Antos stood still, the magical pressure emanating from his body.
"Wizard Leo, what do you mean by this?"
Antos's voice carried a sense of impending doom.
Leo said calmly, "It doesn't mean anything. However, since you want to take over my body, it's reasonable for me to treat you as an enemy and attack you."
Antos choked immediately.
Leo's words are indeed correct.
He said he would take over Leo's body, and then Leo shot him through. That makes sense, doesn't it?
Both sides fell silent.
Then, Antos let out a clear laugh: "Wizard Leo, you are indeed an interesting person. It was worth sending this tiny bit of my finger to meet you."
"Wizard Leo, I want this ruin, and you want it too. How about we cooperate?"
"We'll only take copies of all the spellbooks; the originals will be yours. We don't want the non-spellbooks; you can have them all, how about that?"
Leo shook his head and said, "Impossible. I will not cooperate with a first-class wizard apprentice of a wandering wizard... because if something unexpected happens, I will be powerless to stop it."
Antos said, "That's hard to say. In my personal opinion, Wizard Leo, you have a deterrent force that is no less than that of us first-class wizard apprentices."
Leo said, "I am honored that you think so highly of me, Wizard Antos. Well then, allow me to consider it."
"Okay, I can give you half a day to think about it."
"Okay, I'll give you an answer in half a day."
Leo waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Leo led Fried and the other two away.
As for Sig's body, it remained under Antos's control.
After Leo and his group left, Verdan spoke up, "Wizard Antos, are we really going to cooperate with Wizard Leo and his group?"
Verdan looked worried.
He was genuinely quite worried about collaborating with Leo.
After all, Leo's exaggerated physical abilities were simply beyond their ability to handle.
Antos said, "You believed me just because I told you? We were just testing each other before going our separate ways."
"Judging from his reaction during our exchange, he is exactly as you described. He is an extremely dangerous wizard, powerful enough to rival us first-class wizard apprentices."
Antos frowned and said, "We confirmed a lot of information during our conversation just now."
"First, he already knew that Sig was dead. So he acted very decisively, wanting to test my current strength. If I couldn't react in time, he would have killed me, the one controlling Sig. If I reacted in time but showed weakness, he would have attacked without mercy."
"That's why I deliberately didn't make a move just now, and let Kyle do it. It was to keep him from seeing the truth."
"Secondly, he already knows that my main body is temporarily trapped in the ruins. So he immediately asked for some time to consider, actually using this time to escape from here. He has probably already run away from the island."
"Third, his physical abilities. I initially thought your descriptions were exaggerated. But after witnessing his physical abilities firsthand, I realized that what you said was not an exaggeration at all."
"His speed is simply amazing."
"Moreover, he wasn't using any magical abilities to enhance that speed. In other words, once he uses magical abilities, his danger level will increase exponentially."
At this point, Antos suddenly asked, "Verdan, Kyle, do you know what the biggest difference is between a first-class wizard apprentice and a second-class wizard apprentice?"
Kyle and the other man shook their heads.
Antos said, "It's the unknown. The biggest difference between a first-class wizard apprentice and a second-class wizard apprentice lies in combination spells. Combination spells are not only powerful, but more importantly, each combination spell has unique characteristics, which gives combination spells a very special unknown nature."
"In a duel between two first-class wizard apprentices, if one of them possesses an unknown combination spell, his chances of winning will be greatly increased."
"The battles between first-class wizard apprentices are about deciphering and analyzing what the third ability of the opponent's combination spell is. And Leo's physical abilities have an unknown quality similar to combination spells."
"We don't know the extent or limits of his physical abilities, nor how he can utilize or enhance them."
"As long as we don't unravel the secret of his physical abilities, his unpredictability will remain. This is equivalent to giving him an advantage in combat, similar to the unpredictability of combined spells."
Hearing Antos's analysis, Kyle and his companion were also sweating profusely.
They were not first-class wizard apprentices.
He was merely a second-class wizard apprentice who possessed the ability to combine spells.
Only after hearing Antos's analysis did they realize Leo's power.
Verdan asked, "Wizard Antos, Leo is in so much danger, are we just going to leave him alone?"
"Of course not, but now is indeed not the time to deal with Leo. To deal with him, we need more careful planning. Our encounter with Leo this time was purely accidental. Our real target is still the book located in the central area of the ruins."
"That book is related to that person's identity."
"If that book is discovered by the wizards of the Tower of Dawn, it could very well disrupt that person's plans within the Tower of Dawn and prematurely expose his identity."
"Although I am now in a state of physical decline, I have obtained the book."
"I will get my body out of the ruins as soon as possible and leave this place."
Kyle asked, puzzled, "Senior, since that book here is so important, why don't we just gather people from Xuanfeng Island and get it directly? Xuanfeng Island has many necromancy apprentices; we don't need to risk borrowing the Dawn Tower wizard's plan."
Antos spoke calmly, "Once we mobilize our forces, the Tower of Dawn will definitely become suspicious. Originally, they saw it as just an ordinary, unremarkable ruin. But once we gather our forces, they might suspect that some enormous secret is hidden here."
"When this ruin was discovered by the Tower of Dawn, we were put on the defensive and had to proceed with caution."
