Reborn as a Mad Dog from a Noble Family

Chapter 297: Life Force Drained, Magic Power Unleashed

Leopold called out to them suddenly, a strange light flashing in the depths of his pupils, and his expression became very serious.

"Prince Lessing's condition is not optimistic. The amount of magic power in his body is increasing rapidly, and his organs are beginning to fail. His life is in danger at any time."

It turned out that when Leopold was examining Lessing's body just now, he placed a magical device similar to a monitor.

The peculiarity of this magic tool is that it can be used in conjunction with Leopold's holy offering - the Eye of Judgment.

"How could this happen?" Just after saying this, Idene suddenly realized something, "Is it because of the World Tree?"

"I mentioned it before. I suspect that the World Tree draws power from people every once in a while, so people's bodies become weaker day by day." Torek's face didn't look good either. "Lesin and Lezhuola occasionally have this situation. The palace doctor should have rushed over. But if it's not just Lesin and Lezhuola..."

If this happened to not only Lessin and Ledra, but other Mauks as well, they would now be faced with a life-threatening decision.

Choose to save your life and leave, or choose to stay here to stop the World Tree and save the lives of tens of thousands of Mauk people.

Sophia looked at the silver-haired and silver-eyed young priestess and said, "Xu, I'm counting on you."

Xu nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and spoke silently. Golden magic surged out, surrounding her, spreading in the air in a ring-like shape, like a long gilded scroll, gorgeous and gorgeous.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, and covered the long scroll with her fair palm. The magic power instantly collided with the fluid in the air, causing a considerable vibration.

The golden magic power was shaken away and turned into fine golden powder, which floated away into the distance along with the airflow generated out of thin air.

The scroll did not disappear, but gradually revealed the outside world with a transparent color as the background.

The ominous premonition came true.

The roadside where they came from, outside Maoke's palace, in the market... there were people fainting everywhere.

Under the dry trees, you can occasionally see some animal corpses, with their mouths slightly open, eyes wide open, and their bodies shriveled and stiff.

At this moment, the shadows of swaying leaves suddenly appeared above their heads.

The shadow was as big as a cloud, and its thick branches stretched across the vast sky, like dark clouds before a rainstorm, approaching with a strong sense of oppression.

"It's basically certain that it was done by the World Tree. It sucked the vitality of people." A trace of pity flashed in Sophia's eyes. She understood medicine and often performed healing magic, so she knew that the elderly and children with weaker bodies could not withstand such torture and had no signs of life.

We must stop the World Tree. Xu said silently.

"Mr. Torrek, thank you for bringing us here." Leopold handed the teleportation scroll to Torrek. "You are the only one who remains awake in Mauk and will not be drained of power by the World Tree, so I would like to ask you to do something."

Torek did not accept it, but untied the knot decoration hanging on the handle of the scimitar and tied his long black hair into a high ponytail.

"A Mauk warrior will not flee from battle, nor abandon his companions."

"For us, for your companions, family, friends, and other Mauk citizens, please find the magic tool I placed next to Prince Lessing as soon as you get out, then bring it to the center of Mauk and use the gigantic magic on it."

Leopold spoke with a smile and at a very fast pace, not giving Torrek any time to think. He directly tore open the teleportation scroll and pushed him into the magic circle with a force that was neither light nor heavy.

"That magic tool can automatically absorb the magic power from the surrounding area. Then I will control it to connect with the living things around it, thereby consuming the magic power and forming a cycle. This should be able to slightly reduce the concentration of magic power in the air in Mauke."

"I know!" Torrek shouted back before being teleported away.

Not all magic tools can produce this effect. They must be of epic quality or above and require a large amount of magic power to activate.

Lower-quality magic tools like the magic lamp and magic fan, or small-consumption magic tools like the magic notebook and treasure box, cannot achieve the effect of absorbing magic power, then consuming magic power, and finally forming a cycle.

The teleportation magic circle disappeared and the entire space began to shake violently.

In an instant, trees were uprooted and huge rocks rolled down the mountain, rushing towards the few people.

The invisible force came to cause trouble again, easily breaking the defensive barrier opened by Leopold, and shuttled between the messy objects, aiming at the vulnerable parts of several people, launching attacks one after another.

Using magic to hover in the air will not help you avoid danger.

The huge shadow of the tree was almost sticking to their backs, sometimes burning like fire, and sometimes stinging like lightning.

"We have to find a way to get closer to the World Tree's main body!"

Unfortunate Idene, whose old wounds had not yet healed, had new wounds added to his wounds. The shadow of the leaves shook violently and hit his wounds, the high temperature burning his flesh and blood, causing him to grimace in pain.

His ferocious expression suddenly froze for a moment, and his whole body seemed to be nailed to the spot.

After a few seconds, he said in a trembling voice: "I...can't move."

Sophia's pupils shrank, and she immediately cast a healing spell, "It's the World Tree! It also wants to drain our power!"

The healing magic fell on Idne's body, just like pouring a bowl of water into a red-hot iron pot, and it instantly turned into thick water mist.

"The healing magic doesn't work..." Sophia showed a desperate look.

She had just fought against an invisible force, so how could she not know that magic had no effect on it?

Idne's skin became rougher at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some gray appeared among his thick hair.

If this continues, Idne will die, just like those Mauks.

No.

No.

I still have a lot to say to him...

At this critical moment, the emotions that were weighing on Sophia's heart burst out uncontrollably.

Her eyes became moist and her heart was moved by Idne's every breath.

"Ah." Idene slowly rolled his eyes and uttered a syllable.

"Leopold, you must have a way, right?" Sophia said anxiously.

Leopold shook his head and stared at Moshe in silence.

"Idne..." The words of confession were on the tip of her tongue, but Sophia was still hesitating.

Behind her, Mo Xie approached quietly.

The weak kingdom envoy disappeared, and was replaced by the current chief of the witch clan and supreme wizard, Moshe McIntosh.

Suddenly, Idene bent down, took a deep breath, then stood up and shouted to the sky: "Ah! I can move!"

"I was really scared this time!" He looked as if he had survived a disaster.

"..." Sophia was stunned for a moment, then relaxed her frown and looked at Idene with a hint of scrutiny.

Is he pretending? Is he pretending to be real?

Being stared at by Sophia, Idene felt a little guilty for some reason. He smiled uncomfortably and said, "Hey, have you noticed that the World Tree has stopped going crazy?"

Ok?

Hearing this, several people looked around, and then were surprised to find that the space had returned to calm, with broken wood and stones lying on the ground, and the shadows of the trees in the sky disappeared without a trace.

As he said, the World Tree stopped going crazy.
