Chapter 138 The Death of Matthew
Upon hearing Li Ang's resigned words, Matthew became even more smug and hurriedly pleaded with the dark sorcerers, "My lords, let him die knowing why. He always bullied me in the family."
The dark sorcerer who was guiding the [Primordial Fire] glanced at Li Ang and saw that he was all alone and seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. At this critical moment of collecting the fireball, he could not afford to be distracted. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Very well, let you two, master and servant, catch up. We'll send him on his way later. You've done a good job leading the way, so you'll be the one to do the work later."
The other dark wizards also let out disdainful sneers, clearly not taking Li Ang, a first-level wizard, seriously.
When Matthew heard the Dark Wizards say that he had done a good job leading the way and that he would be rewarded with the opportunity to kill Leon himself, he was so excited that he repeatedly bowed and thanked them.
"Thank you, sirs. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."
Ignoring the dark wizard's taunts, Li Ang looked at Matthew, who was fawning over the dark wizard, and asked, word by word, "Why? Why did you betray Mentor Celonst, betray the Elemental School, betray the Wizarding Tower?"
These words seemed to strike Matthew's most sore spot. The smugness on his face was instantly replaced by resentment, and he almost roared as he answered, "Why? It's all because of you, Leon Carlson! That old bastard Ceronst, after recruiting me, he abandoned me. If you hadn't stolen all the limelight and honor, why would he have given up on me? I clearly have level five talent, but you've made it so I can't condense my third star and advance to a formal wizard. It's all your fault!"
Faced with this unfounded accusation, Li Ang was not angry at all. Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his lips as he retorted, "Matthew, isn't your inability to get promoted because you only think about how to frame others every day and never calm down to meditate properly? Blaming others for your failures, you really haven't made any progress."
"1
"Shut up!" Matthew, his face flushed red, roared hysterically, as if his sore spot had been hit.
"Honor, resources—everything you possess should have been mine! You stole everything that belonged to me. If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up like this?"
Leon laughed in exasperation at this remark. He shook his head, too lazy to argue with Matthew any further, and changed the subject: "How did you manage to get involved with these dark sorcerers?"
This question clearly gave Matthew something to brag about again, and that nauseating smugness reappeared on his face: "Hmph, there's always a way out, Young Master Li Ang. During a field trip, I accidentally got separated from my team. Just when I was in despair, I was lucky enough to run into the Dark Wizards. We hit it off immediately, and I told them there were people from the Lelita nearby. They then used magical gems to control the monsters and enhance their power, and they attacked our team—the horrific scene—hahahaha!"
Li Ang's eyes narrowed: "The time Helena was injured?"
"That's right, you know quite a lot. Did that little bitch Helena tell you?"
Matthew grinned maliciously and continued, "It's a shame we couldn't just kill that bitch who was always going against me. She's the second most deserving of death, and you, Leon Carlson, you're the first. Kavi deserves to die too, and your whole family deserves to die too—"
Looking at his contorted face, Li Ang interrupted his continued cursing and asked the last question, which was also one that genuinely puzzled him: "Matthew, I believe I didn't mistreat you when we were at the Carlson's house, so why do you hate me so much?"
"Mistreatment?" Matthew's voice was shrill with excitement, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"You mean you want me and Kavi to dine at the same table with you? Hahaha, that's nothing more than a bit of hypocritical benevolence that you high and mighty masters bestow upon your lackeys."
"You pretend to be approachable on the surface, but what about your heart? Don't you still treat us like dogs? Do you think that letting me eat at the same table with you is a favor to us? And that we should be grateful?"
"I'm not reconciled! I'll see what kind of expression you'll have when you're trampled underfoot by the 'dog' in your eyes!"
His words were filled with distorted understanding; long-term repression and jealousy had completely corrupted his mind.
Li Ang listened quietly, his face expressionless, until Matthew finished speaking. He nodded slightly, as if finally confirming something, and then said softly, "I understand, Matthew. You hate me because I let you sit at the table to eat." He paused, his tone suddenly turning as cold as ice.
"I'm fine now, I can die."
Upon hearing Li Ang's acceptance of his fate, Matthew's face instantly contorted into a sinister grin.
Without waiting for the dark sorcerers' instructions, he took a step forward, and a flickering spark appeared in his hand.
"Don't rush, Young Master Li Ang, I'll send you on your way now."
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
The air on both sides of the room suddenly distorted, and two huge golden shadows appeared out of thin air.
These were the two golden puppets that should have stood in the square in front of the tower.
As soon as it appeared, the puppet's eyes flashed red light, and the halberd in its hand, which was shimmering with golden runes, pierced the bodies of the two closest dark sorcerers with lightning speed.
The two dark sorcerers didn't even have time to scream before they were impaled on halberds and died instantly.
Matthew's ferocious smile froze instantly, and the faint flame in his hand also dissipated.
"Puppets in the square? How could that be?" The smugness and ferocity on Matthew's face were completely replaced by disbelief and deep fear. He was terrified.
The remaining three dark wizards were also greatly alarmed. The one holding the metal disc exclaimed in horror, "How is this possible? The dwarves' controller has malfunctioned?"
He frantically fiddled with the disc in his hands, trying to stop the puppet's movements again.
Seeing that things were not going well, the other two dark sorcerers turned around and tried to run away.
But how could Li Ang possibly give them a chance?
The [Ring of Foresight] activated instantly, and in his vision, the movement trajectories of the two fleeing dark sorcerers in the next second were clearly visible.
He casually pointed his wand at two empty spaces.
"Whoosh, whoosh"
Two incredibly refined cyan-blue wind blades shot out from the sky.
In Matthew's and the remaining dark wizard's eyes, the two fleeing dark wizards seemed to have deliberately run into the trajectory of the wind blades.
"Pfft"
Blood splattered as Li Ang easily killed the two dark sorcerers like chickens. Their bodies were almost severed by the wind blades, and they fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell silent.
The last dark sorcerer holding the disc, horrified, had just raised his head when he saw the golden halberds of the two puppets slashing down rapidly enlarge in his pupils.
"don't want"
"Clang!"
The crossed halberds pinned him firmly to the ground, and the disc in his hand flew out and rolled to the side.
