Chapter 594

"Yes."

Senior did as he was told.

Looking at Senior who was completely obedient, Cotton flashed a sarcastic smile in his eyes.

Among these people, the one he distrusted the most was Senior.

Because other people, including himself, no matter what purpose, interest, future, or even fate, have been deeply bound to the Council of the Interior and the Second Prince.

But only Senior, according to the information from the robin, became the running dog of the Council of the Interior, and the reason was just because... money.

That's right, just for a casual bribe, he took such a big risk and defected to the Council of the Interior. He was a short-sighted fool for his own selfish interests.

But...it's a good thing that he is a selfish, cowardly fool.

This kind of fool happens to know best what to do and what not to do, so he should also "believe" in the little "white" lies he told before.

"There should be some time left."

Cotton took out his beloved gold pocket watch and glanced at it:

"To be on the safe side, let's try it out first."

Cotton has always been cautious. Even if he supervised the entire formation arrangement process, he would never relax until he saw the eldest prince turned into ashes in the formation.

"Get ready, quickly."

"Yes."

As everyone took their positions, the blue magic light flickered, and the mysterious patterns hidden under the ground began to run rapidly.

The first to run was the formation used to conceal the breath. Although it was known that it was basically impossible to cover up such a thing in the urban area, it was still necessary to maintain absolute concealment before the other party stepped into the trap.

Then there was the formation used to block this area, which could prevent the target from escaping while sealing the power of destruction in this area, making the power of the formation even more terrifying.

The last was the most important and core multi-combined array destruction technique arranged by these eleven magicians.

As the magic power gradually poured into it, the array pattern in the center of the array gradually brightened up, and Cotton's eyes, which were fixed on it, gradually lit up with brilliance.

It was just a trial run, but as the array gradually ran normally, he seemed to have seen the scene where the eldest prince was in the array and was turned into ashes by the torrent of destruction.

The high and mighty prince died in the hands of an unknown person like himself. Just thinking about it made people so excited, so...

Ka.

Suddenly, there was a sound as if something was broken, which sounded in Cotton's ears.

The sound was extremely subtle, and ordinary people could hardly hear it clearly, but in Cotton's ears, it was like a sudden noise from the organ at the climax of a concert.

So clear.

Cotton's smiling expression suddenly froze.

He immediately understood what happened and widened his eyes. His sight quickly swept across the magic array pattern that was already shaking violently. With his magic attainments, he naturally found out where the problem was very quickly.

Or rather, who did it.

"Siniel! How dare you!" Cotton's expression suddenly became ferocious.

How dare he, how dare he?

Doesn't he know that tampering with the formation at this time means...death for him?

"Third solo!"

The angry roar was drowned out by the melodious flute sound, and the sudden glow fell from the sky, and under the guidance of the flute sound, it turned into a sharp blade of destruction.

But those sharp blades did not aim at Cotton, but only passed by him and accurately pierced into... the formation pattern underground.

The complex flow of magic power was instantly cut off, and the formation that was already shaking because of Siniel's secret manipulation began to shake more violently. If the little trick left by Siniel before was like throwing a small stone into a perfectly meshed gear set, then his sudden attack at this moment was like directly destroying several of the gears.

The formation was shaky and soon reached the edge of destruction.

And the huge magic power stored in it was also in a state of bursting out at any time.

Cotton's eyes instantly turned red. At this point, how could he allow the magic array he had painstakingly constructed to be destroyed? So he waved his hands, and the precise magic threads quickly condensed in his hands. Under his exquisite manipulation, hundreds of magic threads were connected to the severed array patterns. He actually relied on his own strength to penetrate the magic passage of the array and temporarily maintain the stability of the array.

But...

How could Sinel, who had planned it long ago, give up this opportunity? He took a deep breath, ignored the bone flute in his hand that had become very hot, and poured all his magic power into it again.

The sound of the flute was high.

The light white mist gathered, like a sea and a tide, and between the rolling, it seemed that there were white-skeletal soldiers wearing armor and holding knives, riding the dark horses of skeletons, galloping from the other side of the mist.

"Stop him!"

At this time, the others also reacted quickly, and various magic fluctuations rose up. The terrifying magic began to gather in the hands of this group of elites at a speed that was almost instantaneous.

However, those skeleton soldiers with green fire burning in their eye sockets suddenly raised their heads, and a sharp hissing sound like the whistling of steel resounded. Almost at the same time, everyone felt a sharp pain in their brains, and the magic condensed in their hands was also interrupted for a moment.

"Death...Concerto!"

Senior smiled miserably, blood flowed from the end of his nose, and there was a sharp pain like brain tearing. The precious bone flute in his hand also shattered directly during his two overdrafts.

He knew that his strongest move could only gain a moment's chance among this group of elites who were also members of the Royal Magician Corps.

But, this is enough.

After all, the strongest Cotton, in order to maintain the stability of the formation, has no room to take action at this moment...

"Etc., etc!"

At the same time, Cotton, who understood the current situation, became panicked and said quickly:

"Senior, Senior! We can talk about what you want to do. I can give you money. I can give you whatever you want. Stop, we can talk, we can..."

"Sorry, we can't talk."

"Why...why, what you want is..."

"because……"

Senior smiled, staggered to support his embarrassed body, and said to Cotton:

"Because I'm an undercover agent."

"Undercover?"

Cotton's eyes widened. Before he could understand the meaning of these two words, he saw Senior raising his hand and waving lightly.

Zheng——

The swords buzzed, and the skeleton soldiers whizzed past, inserting the green fire-burning blades into the formation.

The splendid rainbow light spurted out from the ground before it gave birth to destruction and death.

Like fireworks, it lights up the sky over the lower city and is so beautiful.

…

…

"Ahem..."

After the diffuse smoke and dust dissipated with the night breeze, Senior stood up with difficulty and used the remaining trace of magic power to move around his body to check his status.

Very bad.

The magic power is almost gone, the mental energy is also exhausted, and even under the impact just now, there are many fractures in the bones all over the body.

My chest was very painful and stuffy, and I had difficulty breathing. The broken ribs might have been inserted into my lungs.

But everything was still much better than he imagined.

He turned his head and glanced around. Although the huge magic power stored in the formation was released at that moment, the magic power that was not converted into destructive power by the formation was only magic power after all. The power that was erupted at that time was only a considerable amount. from a common gas explosion.

Although it still blasted a huge hole in the road, fortunately, it was a fork in the road. After all, it was wide and it did not affect the surrounding civilians.

And those civilians... Senior saw some candles lit and then extinguished quickly. People living in the lower city knew very well what not to see.

This is good.

very good.

"Ahem..."

Senior coughed out blood with lumps of flesh in pain again, stretched out his hand to fumble around with difficulty, and finally took out a magic scroll to recover from his injuries.

Of course, he also knew that it was in vain because...

"Senior!!"

In the large crater blasted by the erupted magic power, Cotton looked fierce, step by step, with terrifying momentum, like an approaching beast.

He was clearly at the center of the explosion, but there was no injury on his body. It was just that his clothes were stained with dust and he looked a little embarrassed.

Others gradually surrounded him with murderous intent, leaving Senior, who was already seriously injured, without any chance of escaping.

"Ha, you guy is really stupider than I thought. Do you know what you did? Do you know what you did?"

Cotton yelled at Senior like a madman:

"Originally, everyone was going to have a bright future, but you, it was you... you ruined it all, all because of you, a hopeless idiot!"

"Stop talking, I also know I'm a hopeless idiot."

Senior pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty:

"But I'm an undercover agent. As an undercover agent... I'm supposed to cause you some trouble, right?"

"Trouble? Haha, it is indeed a trouble."

Cotton approached and grabbed Senior by the collar:

"Although I don't know who sent you here, I tell you that your goal will not be achieved. Even without the formation, the eldest prince still has no chance of surviving under the siege of ten of our magicians!"

"Yeah?"

Senior smiled, showing his bloody teeth:

"never mind."

"What?"

"I said it doesn't matter."

Senior raised his head, looked at the night sky, which was quite good tonight, and said:

"Whether the eldest prince dies or not has nothing to do with me. As long as I stop what you just did, my goal will have been achieved."

"So, it doesn't matter."

"..."

Cotton opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a while.

It seemed that he finally understood what Senior wanted to express, and he smiled sarcastically:

"You're stupider than I thought, Senior."

"Thanks."

"Then, for the sake of you still being a man, I'll give you a good one."

The magic power gathered in Cotton's hands and turned into a sharp blade. He looked into the eyes of the man in front of him who he had misjudged and said goodbye:

"Farewell, Mr. Undercover."

"puff."

Without any hesitation, the magic blade tore flesh and blood, bringing death in an instant.

Senior's eyes suddenly widened amid the splattering blood.

But...this was not because of the panic before death, but...shock.

He who was almost out of strength suddenly regained his energy... extremely shocked.

"Eh?"

Cotton was also shocked. He slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

At this moment, a sharp magic blade was piercing through his body from there.

"Why... why?"

Cotton followed Senior's unbelievable gaze and slowly turned his head to look at the person behind him who was completely unexpected.
