Chapter 699: 223. One trap after another_2

The gray substance on Plin’s corpse disappeared without a trace, as if it never existed.

Noland Lee cleaned up the spoils of war and disposed of the headless body as quickly as possible.

He checked the spoils of war from Plin’s body with Deconstruction and put them into his magic pouch to examine more closely once today’s events were over.

Plin’s headless body was also put into a body bag by Noland Lee and stored in a separate magic pouch.

As for Plin’s Companion Witch, she would remain underground for now. Noland Lee would settle her properly after handling all of today’s matters.

Could there be any eyewitnesses lurking underwater, watching Noland Lee’s every move?

There’s no need to worry about that.

Noland Lee mobilized nearly 50,000 Energy Points to raise “Perception Enhancement” to 100-level.

The spell was at 10% completion, and its power was not weakened. The only thing that increased was the spell’s consumption, which increased tenfold.

Noland Lee needed to consume 100 Points of Energy every minute to maintain it.

During the spell’s duration, anyone with Ten Rings or less strength, who looked at him by any means, would be detected by him.

This is one of the useful aspects of “Perception Enhancement,” and its other uses relate to search and detect.

In absolute stealth, Noland Lee disposed of Plin and the Demon Brain Parasite’s corpses.

He returned to the ground level, lifted his right hand, pointed to the heavens, and cast two half-meter-thick black light columns.

This “Death Two Finger” stretched hundreds of meters into the sky, finally disappearing into the air after reaching its maximum range.

Now it was dusk.

The setting sun was blood red in the sky.

The black light columns created by “Death Two Finger” were particularly eye-catching.

Deep-sea wizards at the wizard base and magic outposts immediately observed these two undisguised energy beams.

Noland Lee checked his Magic Vision.

Shadows were moving inside the wizard base.

Fagen’s vassal wizard was ordering the deep-sea wizards to return to the magic fortress while he himself cast flight spells, turning into a rock with a tail of broken stones, flying towards Island 102353.

Noland Lee rubbed the illusion ring Denise Green had given him, entered invisibility status, and patiently waited for the vassal wizard to arrive.

The vassal wizard didn’t know that the Demon Brain Parasite and Plin were already dead.

He would continue with his plan.

He would approach the island and personally oversee the battle.

If the Demon Brain Parasite and Plin were unable to defeat Noland Lee, he would participate in the battle as an island guard, ostensibly helping Noland Lee while secretly seeking an opportunity to stab him in the back.

After approaching the target island, he cast a spell that sent out a detectable energy wave towards the island.

Apart from the Death Energy that remained near the forest and the entrance of the cave, he did not discover more traces of battle.

Why is Island No.102353 so quiet?… The vassal wizard disguised as a deep-sea wizard was somewhat uneasy.

He looked to be in his forties, a middle-aged male wizard with slightly graying hair at his temples.

He might have been a father to some child, a husband to some wife, and a good servant to Lord Fagen.

But unfortunately, he had crossed the wrong person.

A sudden sharp pain in his head caused his flight stance to freeze.

Two seconds later.

“Pft ~~~”

The flying rock turned into a headless corpse, falling into the forest of Island 102353, spraying bits of red and white all over.

Noland Lee, hiding in another corner of the island, silently flew over.

Clean up the battlefield, erase the corpses, and take the spoils of war.

Thus, the three main culprits who plotted against him were executed on the spot.

But today’s events would not end here.

Noland Lee squinted his eyes and watched the wizard base from afar through his Magic Vision.

There were seven deep-sea wizards there, all members of the Deep Sea Branch, with strengths ranging from Three-circled to Five Rings.

They were bought off by Fagen and cooperated with the killers to fake the scene, betraying the Deep Sea Branch in the process.

How should Noland Lee deal with them?

Kill them all?

Even if they haven’t faked the scene yet and haven’t substantively betrayed the Deep Sea Branch, should they all still be killed?

Had it been in the past when Noland Lee did not understand the Ulnas Circle well, he would hesitate to kill the seven deep-sea wizards.

However, as he gradually came to understand the chaotic side of the Ulnas Circle, Noland Lee clearly realized that:

As long as he kept everything watertight, he wouldn’t have to explain the death of any guilty person.

First, deal with the criminals, then consider whether to prove their guilt or not.

If it is impossible to prove, then don’t prove it. After all, nobody would know that it was Noland Lee who killed them.

However, that being said, Noland Lee did not intend to take matters into his own hands.

He had a soul contract with Selena, and they had to act according to the rules they had agreed upon in the contract.

Noland took out pen and paper, wrote a letter, and gave it to the Snow-winged Cat to deliver.

About three minutes later, the reply fell into Noland’s hands.

Noland Lee shook open the letter paper, glanced at the characters, and put the letter away.

He activated “Death Flight,” hiding on another island.

Time passed, and the setting sun sank into the sea.

At the moment when the last ray of light disappeared from the heavens and the earth, Magic Vision changed.

The wizard base floating on the sea surface was wrapped in a water curtain that stretched out from below the water, and was dragged into the seabed with a whoosh.

The entire process was extremely swift; even the ripples on the sea surface were wiped away by the invisible magic power.

About half a minute later, the wizard base dragged into the seabed floated to the surface again.

There were bright lights in the magic fortress on the metal platform, but no one could be seen anymore.
