Chapter 260

Someone glared at Murphy; it was a German.

He stood up and knocked over his wine glass. "What if I don't drink it?"

As he spoke, he pulled a wand from his left sleeve and held it in his hand.

It seems that Murphy isn't the only one who knows to prepare an extra wand.

"This guest, I still advise you to consider it carefully," Grand Duke Ivan said.

"No need to consider, I won't be threatened by you!"

Ivan took a sip of the wine in his hand and placed it on the table. "Sophie, I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, the Grand Duke left the scene, and Ras, his son, also left.

The man in military uniform stood on the stage. "The Grand Duke didn't make it clear, so I'll tell you again. Drink this glass of wine, then take your things and get out, otherwise... die here."

"You dare to move against us, do you know who I am..."

The German was about to say something more when suddenly the air around him twisted for a moment, and a knight in armor holding a greatsword appeared behind him out of nowhere, the greatsword raised and then fell.

"Crack," a fine head rolled to the ground.

"Wh-who is it?!" The envoys were panicked, but the armored knight had disappeared again.

Even Murphy was stunned.

What kind of magic is this?

Could it be that the knight just now was also some "ancestral spirit"?

Sophie spoke again: "Leave, or die?"

"I'll drink, I'll drink..." Someone immediately cowered, picked up the wine glass, and drank it in one gulp. "Let me go."

Sophie actually didn't make things difficult for him, and even an attendant brought a package to send him away.

At this moment, the figure of an envoy flickered, but he suddenly knelt on the ground.

Sophie looked at him. "Want to escape? Don't you know that apart from the Sky Street Terrace, spirit world travel is not allowed on the mountaintop here?"

The so-called spirit world travel is actually what Su wizards call "Apparition" and similar spatial transfer methods.

To protect the royal family and avoid the palace being invaded at will, near the top of Arkaim, except for the "Sky Street Terrace" specifically left behind, spatial transfer is not allowed. Ivan's mansion is also in the restricted area.

Seeing that there was no way to escape and not drinking the wine meant death, the remaining people finally stopped insisting. Even if the wine was truly poisonous, they drank it one after another and were sent away one by one.

Before long, only Murphy was left in the courtyard.

"What is your choice, Mr. Murphy Darkholm?" Sophie asked.

"I don't like being forced to do things," Murphy said.

"Is that so?" Sophie didn't try to persuade him further. "That's a pity."

As soon as he finished speaking, an armored knight appeared behind Murphy and swung his sword to slash.

But Murphy had already anticipated it. The moment the knight appeared, he turned around violently, his fingers elongated into sharp claws, and he stabbed out like a javelin, piercing the knight's neck with a squelch.

With his other hand, he grabbed the iron-clad head and twisted it, snapping the knight's head off.

He looked at the blood in his hand. "It seems it's not a spirit. It's actually a living person?"

But if spatial transfer was restricted, how did he appear behind him?

Illusion spell?

An illusion spell without any clues or sounds?

Pretty impressive.

"You really are different," Sophie said. "When they said you killed Alexei, I didn't quite believe it, but you really are different from ordinary wizards. How did you get this ability of local transformation?"

Murphy had no intention of wasting words. He turned into lightning and appeared behind the other party, grabbing down, but the figure in front of him flickered and disappeared. He didn't feel like he had hit anything solid.

At the same time, a strange color flashed at the edge of his vision. He subconsciously stretched out his hand. "Shield Charm!"

"Bang!" A greatsword smashed onto the pale golden light shield. It was a knight, half of whose figure seemed to be still hidden in the void, while the other half showed a chaotic color under Murphy's four-color vision.

Missing the strike, the knight retracted his sword and disappeared again.

Murphy also turned into lightning and flashed a distance away. "Bang!" A sword slashed at the position where he had just been standing.

Another knight!

But before he could be surprised, another fist smashed over from nowhere. Murphy immediately flew into the air, dodging the attack.

He understood.

This courtyard was actually packed with invisible knights!

But why knights and not...

The thought had just turned in his mind when he saw a flash of light below. He immediately used the Shield Charm again to block a wind blade that didn't know where it came from.

Damn, playing dirty, huh!

A bunch of old bastards using invisibility hacks!

But why is this illusion spell so strong? It doesn't even reveal itself when attacking?

But it doesn't matter, at worst, I'll just use a big move to clear the field.

He had been waiting for so long just now because he was waiting for his pre-swing to end. The next moment, countless electric lights lit up in the air; those were the lightning crows he had released while dragging his feet.

They formed an antenna array in the air again, Murphy's will synchronized with them, and the next moment the magic power frequency modulation was completed. His eyes instantly turned golden, and thunder surged around his body. "Thunderstorm!"

He was still below, if he used a spell like Avada, he wouldn't be able to hold up, but using the lightning he could be immune to to clear the field was much more convenient.

The originally bright moonlight was immediately covered by thick dark clouds, and then, rolling thunder crashed down like countless lightning arrows.

However, the scene of lightning falling everywhere that Murphy had imagined did not appear. The next moment, those lightning arrows were all blocked by a thin, transparent barrier a hundred feet high in the sky.

"Boom!" The flashing light of thousands of lightning bolts exploding was like a hundred suns rising at the same time, making the night brighter than the day.

Immediately after, the deafening roar made Murphy almost deaf.

Wall of St. Peter!

Damn it!

He didn't forget this thing, but he had tested it before; the lightning crows could pass through this barrier completely freely, and even living things could pass through, so there's no reason electric charges couldn't pass through, right?

As it turned out, it really did block the lightning.

What kind of logic is this?

"Is this the move you used to kill Alexei?" Sophie's voice sounded again below. "It really is a terrifying power, but no attack can break the Wall of St. Peter. Here, you can't use that move."

Attack?

In other words, this barrier can also determine whether something is an attack?

Should I try Avada?

Forget it, Murphy gave up the idea of clearing the field directly.

According to what they said, this Wall of St. Peter had existed since the city was built, at least several hundred years of history. Its defensive ability was probably ridiculously strong. Using the "Avada Star-Killing Cannon" might not work, and he could basically only fire one shot of an attack like the Star-Killing Cannon.

It's better to keep this trump card. In case things go wrong, he could still use it as a last resort.

The big move was restricted, the enemy was hidden in the dark, the situation was a bit troublesome, and why did it feel like this guy knew him very well and was waiting for him to come to the door?

"You were prepared?" Murphy asked suspiciously.

"Do you think Felipe Carlos was lured away by Lady Yaga?" Sophie looked up at him. "Lady Yaga wanted to contain him, but why wouldn't we want to contain Lady Yaga?"

"If not for this, we might not have been able to kill you."
