252 Hatred (2/2)

In the light, Bill half knelt on the floor of the chamber, where dust and smoke was everywhere.

Bill's eyes, staring at the sorcerers, were filled with great hatred and anger. However, there was the same creepy smile on his distorted face. His muscles kept bulking and his skin together with his apprentice uniform was torn up. His whole body was covered with swollen muscle and blood, and even his veins could be seen. Among his muscles and veins, white maggots were crawling. Some even came out from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears!

”Bill? You…” Susan was shocked. She thought that it was Bill who summoned the demon, but now, seeing that, she realized that the demon was Bill himself!

A transparent wall showed up in front of Bill, in which countless black, weird magic symbols were floating. He burst out laughing, ”They slapped me in my face! They mocked me! But when I saw how terrified and desperate they were when I killed them, I realized that they were just timid, filthy dirty mice! Look, only a strong will can bring you power, and power derives from pain! Pain has awakened me!”

His words were sharp.

Two streaks of white light directly hit the transparent wall, and some magic symbols started to disappear. Neither of them wasted their time having any kind of chicken soup conversation with Bill, but directly used a third-circle Force Field spell called Dispel Magic, which had a chance to remove a magic buff or a defensive force field from the target.

At the same time, three Maskelyne's stars above Lucien's head collided with the other three, and dazzling light burst out, which improved Charlie and Sandra's Luck to maximize the power of Dispel Magic.

”This is not power! This is evil!” Susan cried.

Bill laughed, ”No, this is not evil. This is ourselves! Hatred, jealous, greed, anger… We all have it!”

As he was laughing, his lips fell off, revealing his teeth, and his eyes became scarlet.

The transparent wall had been destroyed. Obviously, its power was not back yet, not even a small part of it.

As soon as the wall disappeared, both Charlie and Sandra activated their magic items and recast Dispel Magic again!

The layer of black smoke on Bill disappeared with Charlie's casting, and then clusters of smoke started to come out after Sandra's spell hit him!

Lucien's right hand was now covered with purple light, as if he was holding a small, purple sun. Instantly, colourful light spots in golden, silver, black, white, purple and more, surrounded Bill, and they started spinning at great speed around him, like a crazy swirl. The swirl was tearing Bill's body apart!

The monster might be pure spiritual, but Bill was not! Bill was still made up from elements!

This was the right time for the last strike!

The swirl was getting bigger and bigger, and the light brighter and brighter. The whole place was filled with dazzling light.

Lucien felt great pain in his heart and head. His soul was very weak and his spiritual power was scattered. He could not even open his mouth to speak, but leaned his body against the bookshelf.

At this time, Charlie came to his aid. Using Mage Hand, Charlie made Lucien take the magic potion called Water Song.

Sandra, in the front, stared at Bill intently, protecting Lucien and Charlie.

When the swirl slowly disappeared, the chamber was completely destroyed. Through the several huge holes on the floor, they could see the hall downstairs.

Except for a burned mark on the floor, there was nothing left of Bill.

”Did we… kill it?” Sandra was a bit hesitant. When she looked out of the window, the mist was completely gone, and the sunset was quite nice.

”Not sure, but now that the mist is gone, we should contact Mr. Gaston,” said Lucien. He felt much better after the potion, although he could still feel pain in his soul. Trying his best, he activated Electromagnetic Message.

Water Song was definitely the ideal healing potion for middle-rank sorcerers. However, right now Lucien could only activate magic items, but not cast any spells.

”Mr. Gaston?”

After several seconds, Gaston's elderly voice came to them through the monocle, ”Any trouble there, Lucien?”

”Yeah. A demon.” Lucien briefly told Gaston what happened there. During that time, he relaxed a little bit.

After a moment of silence, Gaston said, ”You four find a safe room. Go in there and cast defensive magic circles around it. Stay in the room and wait for the nearby senior-rank sorcerers to get there.”

Hearing that, all of them felt a little more relieved. They started to head for the power room through the other corridor of the apprentice hall to wait there.

”Yes, Mr. Evans?” Seeing Lucien frowning, Charlie asked, ”Is there anything wrong again?”

Lucien nodded, ”Yes, something… I'm just thinking, why the thing attacked Sandra and alerted us before it was fully recovered?”
