The power of a First Rank Knight allowed Colin's figure to appear ghostly.
Especially since he had also enhanced himself with Swift Skill at the end, his speed increased even further.
Thus, by the time Lillian's golden light had dissipated, he had silently passed through the blockade of dark monsters and arrived above the villa ruins.
On the other side, Lillian launched an attack on Yasi.
As for Marjorie, seeing Colin suddenly disappear and Lillian actively attacking Yasi, he immediately understood everything.
He didn't blame Lillian and Colin for not consulting him; after all, he was just a Wizard Apprentice, and the situation was so dire.
They were originally in a situation where they were likely to die.
Marjorie suddenly regretted having come along.
Not because he was afraid of death, but because he was afraid that he would not only be unable to help but might also hinder them.
He took a deep breath, suddenly clenched his right hand as if holding something, and dashed towards where Atbolde was!
Although he couldn't help in the fight, at least he could still actively serve as a decoy to confuse Yasi.
Lillian's plan was crude.
As soon as one of them disappeared, Yasi would surely notice.
And if Yasi wasn't stupid, he would also surely realize that the one who disappeared was bringing healing items to Atbolde, who was currently being besieged.
They had to bet that Yasi wouldn't react immediately.
After all, they were less than a hundred meters from Atbolde's location, only needing a few seconds to reach him.
Of course, after reaching there, they still needed to pass through the dark monsters surrounding the twisted trees.
But Lillian believed in Colin's strength, and Marjorie did the same.
He knew he might not be able to deceive Yasi, but even causing him to hesitate for just a second was yet another sliver of hope!
A brilliant golden light spread out, resembling a sky filled with falling golden rain.
Yasi looked at this scene, and his lips curled.
Lillian's attack was close at hand, Marjorie was already nearing the villa ruins.
And then there was Colin; he had almost reached the group of dark monsters around the twisted trees.
Yet, he still appeared unhurried.
This was the composure of a Second Rank Wizard.
Yasi lifted his right hand and pressed his palm against his chest.
Whoosh!
Inky fog suddenly burst forth from his palm, instantly forming a set of black armor over his body.
His pupils lit up with a blood-red glow that began to spread from the corners, and then, like a spider's web, red lines covered the entire set of black armor.
Although this armor was made of fog, at this moment, it didn't look misty at all, with distinct edges, shining with a hard luster, clearly not an ordinary thing.
Decades ago, he and Atbolde's son, Pulan, explored relics left by a Second Rank Wizard together.
After eliminating the dangers, they acted separately. In one secret room, he discovered this set of witchcraft named Black Mist Net.
It was a rare complete set of Combined Witchcraft.
The effects were also very simple and crude—
First, through Black Mist Transformation, he could easily obtain a group of 'Silent Shadows' of the highest level up to the peak of First Rank.
Second, with himself as the center of the black mist, he could get a certain enhancement in strength, externally displayed as this set of Black Mist Armor.
Yasi clenched his fist, looked up at the sky full of golden rain, and smirked coldly.
Swoosh!
In the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage.
Lillian's expression changed, and she quickly turned her head.
Yasi, at this moment, had already arrived in front of Marjorie.
He lifted his right foot and lightly stomped it.
Boom!
The brown ground beneath his foot suddenly collapsed, creating a huge round pit, and the leftover force pushed the dirt around, raising a ring of dirt mounds.
The accompanying shockwave enveloped the sky in dust as if a huge whale was spouting water, forming a grey-brown fountain of dust.
Like snow being rolled up under the impact, Marjorie was tossed up like a rag doll, utterly powerless to resist, and then he heavily fell to the side.
Puh!
Blood uncontrollably spilled from his mouth, Marjorie's eyes losing focus.
"You should be thankful that I'm keeping your little life useful." Yasi laughed, the serrated cracks on his black faceplate creating a vivid arc, almost reaching his ears.
If it weren't for the mysterious Black Mist Armor and the serrated teeth flashing coldly, just looking at the smile, one might think it resembled an exaggerated clown in a circus.
With a smile still on his face, Yasi turned his head towards Lillian, his movements unhurried, as if he was still prepared to say something.
He wasn't worried about Colin in hiding.
The six dark monsters besieging Atbolde were his most elite Silent Shadows, each with strength equivalent to a peak First Rank Wizard.
And that Colin, nothing more than a First Rank Intermediate Wizard, who had only recently advanced to Intermediate First Rank.
He didn't need to go intercept him.
Even stopping Marjorie now was just to make Lillian think he might temporarily be unable to locate Colin.
Yasi imperceptibly tugged the corner of his mouth.
Giving hope before completely crushing it was the best means to break the spirit.
By the time Lillian and the others realized they couldn't get close to Atbolde surrounded by Silent Shadows, unable to pass the healing items to him,
That would be his real time to strike!
Over sixty years had passed; the once heart-searing hatred, to be honest, had at least dissipated by half.
