Boom!
The light of magic lit up the originally dark wilderness.
However, Peter easily dodged it.
Because he had the Wings of the Gale!
He let himself fly into the air and chanted an incantation. Wind Blade Spell was instantly released.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wind blades flew toward the opponents.
Under Peter's attack, they seemed unable to escape!
But those killers were seasoned in battle and wouldn't give up so easily.
Facing the onslaught of Peter's Wind Blade Spell, one of them waved his hand, creating a massive earthen wall to block the wind blades.
"A mere apprentice wizard can't harm us!"
One of them laughed maniacally.
However, as soon as his laughter died down, a green flame suddenly appeared!
The flame was incredibly dazzling.
Especially in the darkness of the night!
"This is..."
The smiles on the killers' faces froze.
They had never expected Peter to use such bizarre magic.
And the green flame quickly condensed into five twisted and grimacing skulls, charging toward the five killers!
Hoo, hoo!
The air turned cold at that moment!
The eerie green flame didn't bring heat but instead a chilling coldness to the surroundings.
Demon Fire!
Peter used his black magic, Demon Fire!
The earthen wall created by the killers was no match for this fire. It was instantly shattered by the Demon Fire.
And the Demon Fire engulfed the five killers in an instant.
"Ah!"
Agonizing screams filled the air.
Those people felt as if they had plunged into icy and bone-chilling seawater, experiencing intense and horrifying torment from their souls to their bodies.
Under the Demon Fire, those five individuals seemed ferocious just a second ago quickly turned into five lifeless bodies.
Bang!
Meanwhile, Peter descended from the air.
He looked at Leon across from him with a disdainful expression.
Leon, at this moment, had already been thoroughly frightened by Peter!
His face turned pale, and with a thump, he fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably as if he had seen a terrifying demon.
"You, you know black magic! You actually know black magic!"
Leon uttered these words in a trembling voice.
He had thought that Peter would be easily killed by those people. He hadn't expected Peter to possess black magic!
And he effortlessly killed those men!
This made Leon feel an unprecedented fear!
"That's right."
Peter glanced casually at Leon.
At the same time, a cluster of wind blades gradually gathered in his hand.
Peter's voice turned icy as he said, "I actually treated you quite well, bringing you into the patrol team to give you a better life. But I didn't expect you to be ungrateful. You conspired with these people to kill me. Today, I can't let you live anymore!"
"Peter, Peter, I know I was wrong."
"It wasn't my intention. They threatened me with my mother's life, so I had no choice..."
"Peter, I truly know I was wrong. Please spare me!"
Leon pleaded in agony.
However, Peter didn't want to give him a chance to survive.
The Wind Blade Spell was cast once again, killing Leon on the spot!
After dealing with Leon, Peter turned and left without looking back, as if nothing had happened.
The next morning, nearby villagers discovered six bodies.
They were the five slain killers and Leon who met a tragic end in the wilderness.
The villagers were terrified!
They quickly reported the incident, and the woman from the Templar Knights who had previously met Peter was once again assigned to investigate the matter.
This time, Peter knew her name.
Her name was Irina.
Irina first interviewed the surrounding villagers, hoping to gather useful information from them.
Unfortunately, the villagers knew nothing.
They were only passing by the woods in the morning to do their work, and that was when they discovered the lifeless bodies. The witnesses were deeply traumatized and left with deep psychological trauma.
Irina, accompanied by some Templar Knights, conducted investigations around this place.
Unfortunately, they didn't find any useful information.
However, because they detected traces of black magic on the corpses, they could only make a rough speculation.
They believed it was an internal conflict among Dark Wizards!
Having no other way, Irina had the bodies taken back for further investigation.
Of course, they also visited the Wizard Tower, hoping to find some clues from there.
But nothing was found.
As they watched Irina and the others leave, Peter finally felt relieved.
It meant he was temporarily safe!
...
After returning to the Wizard Tower, Peter was surprised to find that he had obtained fifteen chances to extract. It was the reward for killing the five assassins!
Fifteen chances!
It meant that he could acquire a lot of magic!
Peter was ecstatic.
Without hesitation, he started extracting!
He obtained the Wind Blade Spell, Frost Spell, Fireball Spell, and Earth Wall Spell...
Among the fifteen magic spells, most of them were duplicates, but there were also some new ones.
At first, Peter felt a bit disappointed when he realized he had obtained duplicates. It seemed like one of his chances had been wasted!
However, he soon noticed that it wasn't the case.
The chance was not wasted!
Because he discovered that duplicate magic spells could be used to strengthen existing ones!
Magic spells had different ranks, ranging from level 1 to level 9.
For example, the Wind Blade Spell was a level 5 magic spell. When he obtained duplicates, he could directly upgrade it to a level 6 magic spell!
Moreover, Peter also discovered an interesting point.
The magic power he accumulated could not only be used to raise his own level but also to upgrade the level of his magic spells.
This made Peter extremely happy!
He had initially thought that the level of magic spells could not be increased, which was quite frustrating.
But now it seemed that it wasn't the case!
The only concern was that with the increased consumption of magic power, his leveling progress might slow down.
But it didn't matter.
Peter accepted this fact on second thought.
It allowed him to become more powerful!
After all, raising the level of magic spells was essentially enhancing his own strength.
Regardless, the stronger he became, the better it would be, whether it was his own level or the level of his magic spells!
