521 You Cant Get Away With This (2/2)

Listening to the three Mages who stood farther and farther away and even seemed to be watching on, Bushdomin was so furious that his body was shaking.

He had never seen such shameless people before, more shameless than those from his own family.

All right, Bushdomin, please get out of the way, Roland said with a rather obnoxious smile.

Buschdomin laughed in exasperation. So what if I dont move aside? Are you going to kill

me?

Thats not necessary.

Roland snapped his fingers, and Ice Ring was instantaneously released, freezing Buschdomins legs on the ground

After that, he waved his hand and let the men, who were pretending to cry, leave with the bodies of the maidservants.

He then walked around Buschdomin, who was staring him dead in the face, and entered the manor.

Struggling to escape with all his strength, he was still frozen in place and could not turn around, so he could only roar, Roland, you bastard! We, the Pine Needle family, will not let you go, and will use your blood to wash away the humiliation our family has suffered.

Roland was unmoved and walked out into the garden.

He was just using the death of the maids as a catalyst for a ploy to force his way in and search.

His vast mental power unfolded, and when he was in the middle of the garden, it was just enough to envelop the entire manor within his mental field.

It was far more convenient to use the mental field as a means of exploration than to search with the naked eye.

Roland closed his eyes as the seconds passed.

On the surface of the manor, there was nothing noteworthy. But when Roland probed with his mental power into the ground, he soon encountered a large, smooth dome that isolated all mental threads.

This was a peculiar sensation that only occurred when mental energy touched a magic barrier.

Theres something underground.

Roland opened his eyes after he muttered to himself. He snapped his fingers three times, and under the effect of Rock to Mud, a huge hole appeared and the mud shifted outward by itself.

In a few moments, the hole opened up to a diameter of eight meters and a depth of two meters.

Then a gray layer of magical barrier could be seen.

Dark magic.

Roland fired a Chain Lightning, resulting in nothing at all from the boundary, just a faint ripple.

The barrier was hard.

Roland was going to try another spell, but suddenly, a strong and eerie mental power penetrated the barrier and locked on to him.

Although it was only locked onto him, the others could feel it too.

The three Mages immediately slipped away, running as fast as they could.

They could feel that this dark mental power was deeply malicious. Roland frowned and was considering whether to evacuate the maidservants and guards in the manor, but then he saw many black striped mental threads sticking out from the barrier, densely packed, like black worms squirming in the stinking gutter. The boundary then shrank and disappeared with a whoosh and a person whose entire body was wrapped in dark magic elements and whose appearance and physical features were not visible appeared and slowly rose.

Roland recognized his magical fluctuations and noted that it was the black figure who had gotten into a fight with him the day before at Stephanies house.

Its you again, Roland. The black shadows voice was strange, rather hoarse, but carried a metallic echo, unlike anything a human could produce. Wouldnt it be nice if we minded our own business?

Roland, however, was not willing to chit-chat with him, and first snapped his fingers several times.

In the air around them, several transparent chains appeared out of nowhere, looking a bit tattered and easily broken. They hooked directly into the surrounding soil.

This was the famed Dimensional Anchor.

This was a level four-spell, given by Tobian.

Normally, this spell could only be learned after reaching Master and having a great understanding of spatial magic.

But Roland had Spatial Specialization, and so this spell was considered a level-three spell that he was already able to learn.

It was still a struggle to learn, and the Dimensional Anchor could be successfully cast, but the anchoring space was a bit small and the strength of it was a bit low.

Roland originally didnt want to use this move, but there was no other way; the other party could also teleport, and without first forbidding spatial magic, the other party would definitely run away.

Seeing the appearance of the Dimensional Anchor, the black figure was silent for a moment, and those black threads suddenly came at Roland.

Each one of them was like a black javelin.

Roland had no way to move instantly, and Mages didnt have many evasion abilities, so he could only open his Magic Shield to counter the damage.

Just after blocking all the black threads with the shield, Roland saw that the black figure had fled to the back of the manor.

He was very fast!

Roland, however, was faster.
