Although his strength was barely at the First Rank Advanced level thanks to several Limit Breaking witchcrafts,
Magic Power within him was only at the level of a First Rank Junior Wizard.
Even the witchcraft that came from Golden Paper Limit Breaking did not consume Magic Power as much as ordinary cross-rank Casting.
But whether it was the Second Rank Limit Breaking Steel Temperature Resistance Field or the Fourth Rank Limit Breaking Fireball Technique, both were First Rank Upper level witchcraft, and the consumption was always higher than ordinary First Rank Lower witchcraft!
This battle was far longer than Colin had anticipated.
By now, his Magic Power was running low.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are just a First Rank Junior Wizard, right?"
In the night sky, Naris suddenly appeared and spoke unhurriedly.
With the dark red monster by his side, victory was only a matter of time.
He suddenly became interested, wanting to taste the anger of the Wizard before him, to offer it to the Divine, and to console Vincent and Priest Paco.
Colin did not answer Naris; he was solely focused on restoring his Magic Power.
Naris, unconcerned, chuckled softly and continued,
"A First Rank Junior actually possessing such power, along with this mysterious staff and splendid armor... You must be noble, just like me.
Regrettably, today you will fall here."
Naris shook his head, and then suddenly stopped, pretending to be surprised,
"Right, I brought along your companion; she has been missing you."
While saying this, he lifted the mutilated body of Margaret, from which blood still streamed down her physique and eventually dripped into the air from her toes.
"Of course, perhaps you do not miss her... After all, I saw with my own eyes as you threw that Fireball, ending her life," Naris continued.
"Let me guess, you did it for... survival, right?"
Naris removed the two Storage Rings from Margaret's body and then, as if discarding trash, tossed her body to Mayer, who was standing aside.
Under his control, Mayer caught Margaret's body and then hoisted it above his head, slowly moving back as his body gradually curved like a great bow.
Meanwhile, Naris continued speaking, his expression full of disdain and his voice rising.
"You Wizards, proclaim yourselves as seekers of truth! But in the end, how many dare to explore knowledge, to study the unknown?"
"Speaking of maintaining humanity and reason! Yet look at you, in a life-and-death crisis, just the same... All just a bunch of craven, vulgar people!"
Boom!
As his words fell, Mayer also flung Margaret's mutilated body toward Colin.
"Wizards are ultimately mere humans, fragile and filthy, incomparable to the Divine," Naris said with a smile, watching Colin continue.
His heart filled with anticipation... Anticipating tasting Colin's anger.
But even after Colin slightly shifted to avoid Margaret's body, he still could not detect a hint of anger.
Naris's expression suddenly darkened.
He wasn't surprised that Colin could avoid Margaret's body; after all, the throw was more insulting than attacking.
He was puzzled that Colin showed no reaction to such provocation.
'Could it be some kind of witchcraft?'
Naris looked at Colin carefully, speculating inwardly.
Thinking about all he had done and it being futile, his expression inevitably cooled.
'What a waste of time.'
"Mayer."
Naris composed himself and commanded lightly.
Swoosh!
The dark red flesh monster immediately shot out.
On the other side, Colin, watching the flesh monster's attack, gently exhaled and put away the Demon Release Ring and Magic Stone.
While Naris was trying to provoke him, he hadn't relaxed; his Superbrain was ceaselessly contemplating strategies to break the stalemate.
Continuing like this would not work.
Although he, with his current strength and Mayer's transformation into a crippled Second Rank, and even with the help of Superbrain and Mechanical Mind, found this "edge-dancing" move easy, as if walking on level ground without fear of errors,
Magic Power was still limited.
If this continued, once his Magic Power was exhausted, it was his moment of defeat!
Since dragging it out wasn't working, he had no choice but to confront the situation head-on!
The situation seemed insolvable, but there was still a glimmer of hope—
Naris!
Now transformed into a monster, Mayer was powerful, its physique alone reaching Second Rank, but its controller—Naris—was only at First Rank...
And even now, his aura felt somewhat weak, probably considered weak even among First Rank.
According to Superbrain's analysis, it was estimated to be only about the level of a First Rank Junior Wizard!
Although he didn't know if killing Naris would stop Mayer's attacks on him.
But by then, Mayer, having lost control and intelligence, if it continued to attack him, he might still find a moment of opportunity before his Magic Power was completely exhausted.
'And, there are no other options...' Colin's gaze hardened, 'This is the only chance!'
Of course...
He glanced cautiously at Naris, who stayed back far away.
To seize this opportunity, he still needed to figure out how to successfully approach Naris...
He continued to fight Mayer, contemplating his Strong Life Talent, already having a plan in mind.
