"You..."
Hall couldn't believe that the plan he had planned for such a long time, which was about to succeed, could actually fail completely at the last moment!
This was truly unbelievable!
However, just as Hall was still in disbelief, he saw Irina brandish her longsword.
Shua!
A beam of holy light descended from the sky!
As the holy light landed heavily on Hall's body, he let out an extremely miserable scream.
In the holy light, Hall was completely purified!
Peter was dumbfounded!
Isn't Irina too powerful?
Peter felt that the strength of this Templar Knight had far exceeded his limits.
Even if he relied on the strength of his powerful black magic, he would not be able to defeat her.
If Peter really had to fight with all his might, the only outcome he would face in front of Irina was to be killed by her, just like Hall.
At the thought of this, Peter felt a chill in his heart.
But no matter what, Hall was already dead!
This meant that the greatest threat had been eradicated!
Peter's tense heart finally relaxed.
At this moment, Irina slowly descended from the sky.
She stood beside Peter, and her pair of azure blue eyes fell on Peter, sizing him up.
At this moment, Peter felt as if Irina had seen through him.
He didn't have the ability to evade Irina!
"Lady Irina..."
Peter forced a smile and greeted Irina. "Thank goodness you arrived in time, and I was saved from being killed by him."
The way Peter presented himself to Irina seemed like he was nervous and flustered, facing such a formidable enemy as Hall for the first time.
In fact, Peter was indeed a little flustered.
However, it wasn't because of a powerful enemy like Hall, but because of Irina.
It had been like this from the very beginning!
Whenever Peter was in front of Irina, he always had a feeling that he would be completely seen through by her as long as he looked at her!
To the point where he didn't even dare to maintain eye contact with Irina for too long.
But no matter what, Peter did not back down.
"Facing a leader of an evil organization like Hall, you are able to remain calm and are willing to fight to the death with him."
"Although your strength is inferior to his, and although you are destined to be unable to defeat him, this is still something worthy of encouragement and commendation!"
Irina spoke up.
Hearing her words, Peter suddenly trembled and looked at her in disbelief. "Lady Irina?"
"In addition, I've heard about you before, and I think that you indeed possess great talent in learning magic. Therefore, I hope to recommend you to the kingdom's Magic Academy. I wonder if you are willing to go?"
Irina didn't directly answer Peter's question. Instead, she told him her true purpose.
There was such a good thing?
It seemed that his performance had earned Irina's admiration!
Peter speculated as he heard her words.
If it was under any other circumstances, perhaps Peter would agree to her request, but the current Peter couldn't possibly accept it!
Go to the Royal Academy to learn magic?
Is it faster than him obtaining power directly from the magic book?
Peter thought to himself.
"I'm truly sorry, Lady Irina, but I don't have such lofty ambitions. My only thought is to be a good Warden."
Peter shrugged and said helplessly.
Irina was clearly confused by Peter's attitude.
Perhaps in her opinion, being able to enter the kingdom's academy to learn magic was almost every wizard's dream.
Logically speaking, Peter should not and had no reason to refuse.
But Peter refused without hesitation!
This was somewhat beyond Irina's expectations.
"But when you face danger, that kind of aura that dares to risk your life against the enemy doesn't seem like a person without ambition."
Irina asked.
"Lady Irina, you misunderstood me again. I only did this to protect myself. If I didn't fight him, he would have a higher chance of escaping."
"If that's the case, he will definitely gather even more powerful forces to besiege the Wizard Tower in the future. By then, wouldn't I have no way out?"
"Although he is powerful now, he has not fully regained his strength. I can barely fight a Junior Wizard."
"This way, even if I can't defeat him, I can still hold on until reinforcements arrive. I believe that the Wizard Tower will never allow such a powerful enemy to escape!"
Peter said a lot in one breath to cover up his true thoughts and intentions.
However, he had to admit that his words did make sense.
And at least on the surface, Peter's behavior appeared more reasonable.
Irina and Peter looked at each other again, and in the end, she said kindly, "If you encounter such a situation again, don't go out and take risks. This level of danger is beyond what you can withstand!"
After saying this, Irina didn't linger any longer and directly turned to leave.
Only when Irina had completely left did Peter finally relaxed.
She was finally gone!
If Irina hadn't left, he might have had to come up with even more excuses to gain her trust.
If that was the case, he might be exposed.
But in any case, Peter had gained a lot today!
Irina had killed Hall, and although he had lost a huge source of magic power, Peter had also obtained three chances to extract magic.
Peter did not hesitate.
He first found a place where there was no one to rest for a while and extracted three magics at the same time.
They were all very powerful magics, including a black magic Resurrection Spell, an Invisibility Spell, and a normal magic: Agility Spell.
The Agility Spell could enhance one's speed in all aspects for a certain period of time.
Whether it was the speed of running, flying, or casting magic.
This was a very useful spell for Peter.
Because in a battle, if you were faster than others, your chances of victory would be higher!
Peter returned to the Wizard Tower and found that everyone was busy cleaning up the mess, ignoring him.
"Peter, where did you go just now?"
Alfred asked.
"I was chasing after Hall, but I saw Lady Irina on the way. Lady Irina killed Hall!"
Peter answered truthfully.
