Chapter 249 The two knew that it was the best choice they had but none of them were willing to attack first . Red Beard was one of the strongest Crystal stage wizards and if he still had enough mentality to cast a level 2 spell, none of the three would be able to take it without dying . Even Olive was not so confident with his force barrier . Their original plan was to chase Red Beard down and force him to waste mentality on defensive spells . "It’s a great suggestion . You had some personal matters with Red Beard, right? Why don’t you go beat him up?" The woman chuckled . "Well, I’ll pass . I want him dead but it’s fine if you want to do the job for me . " Angele coughed and stepped back . Olive and the woman shook their heads . They did not think Angele was treating the situation seriously . The three remained silent as they surrounded Red Beard . After several minutes, Angele heard footsteps coming from behind . "Right there! Hurry up! I’ll take out that old bastard myself!" It sounded like an old man . "More people are coming . Why are we still waiting? There’s no time for us to hesitate . " Angele was trying to stir things up . Olive glared at Angele as his brow furrowed but he did not say anything . Red Beard supported himself using the tree . His face was pale and his condition was getting worse . Three old men wearing black robes jumped out of the bush . The old man in front walked straight toward Red Beard and threw a white ball toward him . "You shall pay for what you have done!" "Die!" The two old men rushed toward Red Beard as well . A blue glow surrounded the man on the left and two dark fireballs appeared on the palms of the man on the right . The three old men jumped onto Red Beard before Angele could do anything . Olive and the woman stepped back right away . The white ball turned into a huge web that surrounded Red Beard and the trees around him . A blue spider appeared from nowhere and it jumped onto Red Beard with two dark fireballs behind it . Red Beard’s expression changed . He raised both of his arms and conjured a golden plate in front of him . The plate was covered in complicated runes . Angele, Olive, and the woman just watched the attack from the side . The three old wizards kept releasing white spider webs which stopped Red Beard from escaping . The flames from the fireballs were burning everything under the web while the blue spider moving toward Red Beard . However, the golden plate in front of Red Beard blocked most of the attack . Angele smiled as he watched the three old men keep casting spells . "Masters, you’re doing this wrong . The golden plate is absorbing the fire energy from the dark flames . It uses the energy to defend against the blue spiders . He has barely used any mentality . My suggestion is to break the golden plate first," he yelled . *BAM* A black fireball flew toward him . Angele’s expression changed and he took several steps backed and dodged the attack . "It’s just a suggestion . Why are you mad?" "Shut up!" One of them turned around and glared at Angele . "Alright, alright…" Angele shrugged . "It’s just my honest opinion . " The black flames extinguished after several seconds . The smell of dead body permeated the air . Angele inhaled some of the polluted air that made his head dizzy . He stepped back again to avoid the polluted area . The remaining flames around were still sparking . "You don’t want the magic device anymore?" Red Beard’s voice came from under the white webs . Olive pursed his lips and stared at the three dark wizards without saying anything . Those wizards were preparing some magic circles . The muscular woman behind him was observing the situation on the battlefield . There was a gentle smile on Angele’s face . He focused on the golden plate created by Red Beard . Suddenly, rays of golden light were released from the center of the plate . All the white webs, blue spiders, and dark flames were cleansed by the light . Angele’s sight was blinded for a second . He could feel the searing heat on his skin . He leaped to the left and stayed away from the golden light immediately . "The Golden Amulet," Olive shouted in surprise . He raised his hand and pointed at Red Beard .
*BOOM* A distorted energy wave exploded . Blood spurted out of the three dark wizards’ bodies . They were severely injured . The distorted energy wave was preventing the golden light from spreading . *CHI* A high-pitched noise echoed in the area as the two spells conflicted . *Crack* The golden light suddenly faded . "Ha…You want the magic device, right? Go for it!" Red Beard laughed .
He raised his arm and a white object was thrown into the forest at full speed . "Hurry!" Olive bit his lips and rushed toward the white object . The three dark wizards struggled and stood up, then they started running toward the object as well . It only took several seconds for them to reach the object . "The Light of Thorns!" Red Beard sneered and shouted . A golden light energy wave exploded around the white object . The light brightened up the whole area . Countless rays of golden light penetrated the white mist and illuminated on the ground . Angele held the sword in his hand and watched the energy wave explode . The three dark wizards were burnt into ashes within a second . It almost looked like they perished in an invisible flame . The strong woman failed to dodge the attack as well . She created a light blue barrier in the front but the golden light went through the barrier and hit her body directly . Angele watched her fall to the ground and white smoke rose from her body . Only Olive survived the attack . The distorted energy barrier around his body blocked all the golden light . He walked out of the bush slowly with a white chest armor in hand and he looked disappointed . Red Beard stood beside the tree and sneered .
"What do you think? You now have the Light of Thorns . Although I used up all the stored energy in the armor, it’s still a great magic device . Isn’t this what you’re looking for?" A golden magic circle appeared below his feet and the runes on the circle started slowly spinning . "Master Olive! He’s trying to escape!" Angele yelled from the side . Olive dropped the ‘magic device’ to the ground . "Give me the real one, you bastard!" He was enraged . "And you!" He turned around and pointed at Angele . "One more word and I’ll kill you!" With a flick of his finger, the magic circle under Red Beard’s feet was destroyed . "Ha, calm down . " Angele shook his head and stopped talking . After several minutes, the muscular woman slowly stood up and her damaged body parts started to recover at an unbelievable speed . The three old dark wizards recreated their body from a dark fog . However, all of them looked much weaker than before . They surrounded Red Beard again . Red Beard raised his right hand and there was a white rune ring on the middle finger . "This is the real Light of Thorns . I no longer want it . " He smiled as he cut off his middle finger and threw it into the air . The ring and the finger drew a silver arc in the air . The wizards all stared at the dropping ring . "This is the real one . The energy wave around it is incredible . " Olive eyed the strong woman and they went for the ring at the same time . The three dark wizards also rushed to the ring . Red Beard caught this chance to transform his body into a ray of golden light and vanish into the forest on the right . Angele followed after him right away . *************** Angele held the silver sword tight in hand . Red Beard’s body returned to its original shape but he was still surrounded by a golden glow . The chilling wind was blowing over Angele’s face . The gap between the two was continuously shortening . He suddenly slashed forward and the length of the blade increased .
*CHI* The tip of the sword hit the back of Red Beard . The old man grunted and some blood spurted out of his long robe . He quickly stopped and raised his right hand . *KA* A golden shield appeared in front of him . Red Beard then quickly took out a triangular wooden amulet and threw it to the ground . Something exploded behind Angele . He turned his head around and saw a humongous Golem that was created using the dark mud here . The Golem was about two meters tall . It held its fists tight and there was a golden flame burning on its head . The Golem wasted no time as it struck Angele with its right fist . Red Beard’s face turned pale . He struggled for a while and took a deep breath . It seemed like creating the Golem cost him a lot of mentality and mana . He turned around and started running again . *BAM* Angele leaped to the right and dodged the Golem’s strike . The fist left a one-meter-deep hole in the ground . He quickly turned around and stabbed the Golem in the arm . Angele went around the golden shield and started chasing after the old man again . *CHI* The Golem stopped moving after being hit by the sword . It was being petrified for some reason . It then turned into a gray stone statue after several seconds . Finally, Angele caught the old man beside a small lake . "Do you remember me? Red Beard?" Angele smiled and stared at Red Beard . The old man was lying on the ground . "Who’re you? I have too many enemies . " Red Beard pursed his lips . "I have known that this day will come . I knew it from the beginning…Just kill me . That magic device was the last valuable thing I had . " "However, why didn’t you go for the magic device? I’m impressed," he added . "The reason is simple . I need to kill you first . " Angele walked to the old man slowly . "The magic device is right there . They’re already fighting for it . Someone else will take it before you can finish me off," Red Beard, who had lost his calm, said quickly . "Don’t worry . I have plenty of time . I can kill you first and go back for that . " Angele shook his head .
