Chapter 189: The Executioner
Before taking action, Karl had one more thing to do.
He went to the market to find the Rune Crafter Lynn, asking about the Inherited Magical Artifact that could release holy light.
“It’s not holy light, but a special purifying light, which has a strong restraining effect on yin and evil specters, and undead creatures.”
Lynn took out a staff with a crystal embedded at the top, and smiled:
“The price is two thousand magic stones!”
“Two thousand?” Karl’s expression darkened:
“That’s too expensive!”
“This staff is not high-grade, and the purifying light is not very useful, one thousand magic stones is already considered a high price.”
A few hundred magic stones would be more like it.
“Yes.” Lynn shrugged, not denying it:
“That’s why I haven’t sold it all this time, but I thought I would find a suitable buyer, like you, my friend.”
“I guess you have a place to use it, and the so-called price depends on whether you need it or not.”
Karl was speechless.
This was treating him like a fool to be fleeced.
“Alright.”
Taking a deep breath, he took out twenty magic crystals:
“Deal!”
“I knew this thing could sell for a high price, it was worth keeping it for several years.” Lynn grinned:
“Please take it.”
The transaction was completed, and watching Karl’s figure move away, he had a strange smile on his face, and took out a magic letter and wrote a line of text.
‘That person has come, and the item has been bought.’
Instantly.
A line of text appeared on the paper.
‘Received, the reward will be paid afterwards.’

“Whoosh!”
The magic carpet broke through the clouds, flying away from the Dream Market.
Karl sat cross-legged on it, lowered his head and looked at his wizard robe, shaking his head helplessly.
“How many people have tampered with me?”
“I don’t remember offending so many people?”
He asked himself, his personality should be the honest and law-abiding type, never taking the initiative to cause trouble.
As a result, after attending a wedding banquet, all kinds of secret tricks were placed on him.
To prevent being tracked and ruining Nina’s planned scheme, he did not clean up the things on his body.
Soon.
“They’re here!”
His eyes flickered slightly, Karl stood up from the magic carpet, and at the same time casually changed his wizard robe.
He couldn’t guarantee whether the tricks on the wizard robe would affect his strength, so it was better to send it to the Divine Domain Fragment.
“Connie!”
Two streams of wizard light flew from a distance at an astonishing speed, stopping nearby, revealing figures.
“You actually dare to return to the Dream Market?”
“You are…” Karl looked at one of them:
“That executioner from the Pero Family?”
The person who came was tall and burly, with several hideous scars on his face, and his features were very distinctive.
“That’s right!”
The other party nodded, with a ferocious smile on his face, the scars on his face twisted and changed as he spoke, becoming even more terrifying:
“I am the executioner Ivli they speak of, Connie, you will pay the price for what you did!”
“It was your people who came looking for trouble first…, never mind.” Karl shook his head, not intending to delve into it:
“So, only the two of you came? I thought the Pero Family’s Clan Leader would come personally.”
“To deal with you, the Clan Leader doesn’t need to come personally.” Ivli snorted:
“I’m enough!”
“Is that so?” Karl smiled faintly:
“Could it be that he doesn’t have time to come?”
In Nina’s plan, the Pero Family’s Clan Leader should be held back by the other two major families, and would not arrive in a short time.
And Karl,
only needed to deal with the executioner Ivli during this time, and the rest would be handled by her.
“Humph!”
Ivli snorted:
“We investigated very clearly, two years ago you were only an Initial Stage, First-Circle Wizard, even if you have now become a Middle Stage, First-Circle Wizard, I guess you have not yet constructed the sixth First-Circle Spell.”
“Perhaps you have a high talent in the cultivation of the Path of the Knight, but as long as we don’t get close, nothing will happen.”
“Hant!”
He called out to his companion:
“Do it!”
“Yes!”
Hant nodded in response, and with a light wave of the staff in his hand, chains of flowing water suddenly appeared in the air.
First-Circle Spell ━ Water Cloud Chains!
The chains intertwined with each other, like a fishing net, and Karl was a fish caught in it.
They were clearly chains made of soft flowing water, but they had an extremely terrifying restraining force, making it difficult for people to move.
“Whoosh!”
Ivli waved his hands, and two sharp machetes flew out like lightning, heading straight for Karl’s neck.
Object Manipulation!
The spells he cultivated were not passed down through his family, but were about manipulating external objects, somewhat similar to the cultivators in Karl’s memories.
The machetes came ferociously and swiftly, the blades flashing with cold light, and also made his skin tense subconsciously.
“Humph!”
With a light snort, a stream of water appeared out of thin air.
First-Circle Spell ━ Tidal Force.
“Bang!”
The machetes slashed into the water flow, suddenly scattering into hundreds of tiny cold lights, like fish darting towards Karl.
Not only did the Tidal Force fail to affect them, but it actually increased the speed of the cold lights.
What the hell?
Nina’s information didn’t say that the other party had such a move!
Karl’s eyes twitched, his hands formed a series of hand seals, and at the same time, his battle aura surged, and a phantom of a Buddha statue emerged from behind him.
Void Seal!
The Ten-Hand Realm of the Thousand Buddha Hands allowed his explosive power to be doubled.
The violent battle aura swept around, seeming to make the void collapse, and both the chains and the cold lights were distorted.
At the same time.
“Crack!”
Lightning flashed on Karl’s body, and like a teleport, he appeared more than ten meters away, charging straight at Ivli.
First-Circle Spell ━ Thunder Wings!
“Heh…”
Facing the charging Karl, Ivli’s face showed a cold smile, he shook his hand and threw out a rune, while controlling the magic weapons to return.
Middle Stage, First-Order Rune ━ Repulsion Spell!
An invisible force enveloped Ivli, like a huge ball, wrapping him inside.
Karl charged over.
The repulsion force made Ivli fly back on his own.
The faster Karl charged, the faster Ivli retreated, and the distance between the two had not been shortened.
On the contrary, the returning magic weapons slashed fiercely towards Karl’s back.
“Bang!”
Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Diamond Seal!
The sharp magic weapons seemed to slash on a hard diamond, and flew back with a clang, and Karl’s figure also swayed.
“So hard!”
Ivli’s expression changed slightly:
“No wonder he could kill a Late Stage, First-Circle Wizard, if the distance was close enough, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to escape either.”
***
“But…”
“A knight is just a knight, in terms of methods, they are far inferior to wizards!”
He took out his staff, and pointed it at Karl repeatedly, and spells with weakening attributes were activated one after another.
On the other side.
Hant, who was with him, cast a Water Clone, hiding his main body among a dozen clones to avoid Karl’s attacks.
He launched counterattacks from time to time.
For a time, the situation in the field seemed to have fallen into a stalemate.
Karl couldn’t get close to the two of them, and with all his martial arts skills, it was difficult to use them, and the two of their spells were also difficult to hurt him.
“Whoosh!”
Lightning flashed, and a figure charged straight into the forest below.
“Chase!”
Ivli ordered without hesitation:
“We must kill him today.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent a message to the Clan Leader, as long as we keep an eye on him, he will surely die when the Clan Leader arrives!”
The three of them, one fleeing and two chasing, gradually moved away from the Dream Market, stopping at a wide river channel.
“Connie!”
Ivli laughed loudly upon seeing this:
“You can’t escape!”
“Heh…” Karl shook his head:
“Ignorance.”
“Crack!”
A flash of lightning appeared on his body, and at the same time, a pair of wings formed by lightning opened on his back.
Thunder Wings!
At the same time.
First-Circle Spell ━ Water Spirit!
Zero-Circle Spell ━ Water of Vitality!
“Boom!”
Karl’s eyes widened, and the battle aura that had been suppressed for a long time burst out unscrupulously, seeming to darken the surrounding sky.
That terrifying pressure also made the faces of the two who were chasing after him change drastically.
Not good!
“Crack!”
With a flash of lightning, Karl had already traversed a distance of tens of meters, appearing not far from Hant.
Thousand Buddha Hands ━ Subdue the Demon Seal!
“Boom!”
A huge hand seal descended from the sky, covering more than ten square meters, and everything within it shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Clone!
Defensive Spells!
The body that had been tempered.
In front of such an attack, it was like a bubble that burst with a single poke, so vulnerable.
“Crack!”
Karl’s figure flashed again, and like a stream of light, he approached Ivli, and with a palm strike, he directly sucked the other party closer.
“Ah!”
Ivli roared to the sky, all kinds of spiritual lights surging.
However,
It was useless!
“Bang!”
A palm strike containing immense power landed on his body, and this outstanding Middle Stage, First-Circle Wizard was instantly blasted into a pulp.
“Huff…”
Karl exhaled a long breath, looked at the dense cracks on his body, and shook his head gently.
“Although the wizard’s defense is not strong, their attack methods and destructive power are amazing, even with a perfect Bronze Body, I almost couldn’t withstand it.”
“Going all out, I estimate that I would only have a chance to kill a Late Stage, First-Circle Wizard within a range of thirty meters.”
As his thoughts turned, his hands were not slow, and he collected the remaining corpses in the field into the Divine Domain Fragment.
Then he stood in the air quietly waiting.
“Connie!”
Not long after.
Nina appeared in the field with several figures, looking around in surprise.
“Ivli…”
“Dead?”
“Yes.” Karl nodded expressionlessly:
“I have completed what I promised you, the rest is up to you, I’ll take my leave first.”
Saying that, he nodded to the others, his figure flashed and he flew into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“Con…”
Nina reached out as if wanting to say something, but it was too late, and she could only watch Karl move away.
“Two auras have disappeared, and one of them does indeed belong to Ivli.” One of the people in the field said:
“This Connie…”
“Is very strong!”
“Yes.” Nina’s eyes were complex:
“I originally wanted him to lure the person over, and we would solve it together, but I didn’t expect that he could do it alone.”
“And so quickly!”
The executioner Ivli was not weak, in fact, he could be said to be very strong, and some wizards who had just advanced to the Late Stage, First-Circle might not be as good as him.
As a result.
With the help of another wizard, he was still killed by Karl in a short while.
This was far beyond her expectations.
“So what?” The handsome man Cromwell snorted upon seeing this, his expression somewhat resentful:
“If he had stayed, we would have had a greater chance of killing Vaughn, but he chose to run away.”
“Nina!”
“He doesn’t care about you at all.”
“Never mind.” Nina’s expression was also not good, she shook her head with a wry smile:
“After all, that’s all I agreed with him.”
“Get ready!”
“Vaughn has already left the Dream Market and is heading this way, Senior Haggai, we’ll have to rely on you later.”
“I will take action.” An old man with white hair fluttering in the field nodded upon hearing this:
“After this matter, my relationship with the Walker Family will end here, but don’t expect too much, I can only restrain Vaughn for a while, it will not be easy to kill him.”
“Understood.” Nina nodded heavily:
“The Walker Family is already extremely grateful that Senior is willing to take action once.”
“Cromwell…”
“You and I will join forces later!”
“Mm.”
Cromwell nodded in response.
