How to Respond

Ilis suddenly coughed twice, spitting out blood as she said weakly, "Thank you, Leo."

Leo said, "I only avoided the trap.

Damn it!"

Leo, why didn't you listen to me!

Tuo Li's furious voice rang out in his mind.

Leo curled his lip.

Through the Prismatic Dragon Scale, Leo had just confirmed that Tuo Li harbored intense hostility toward him.

He immediately realized that Tuo Li was trying to deceive him.

Leo said, "Wizard Tuo Li, if you could control your own thoughts, you wouldn't have attacked Ilis."

Leo's action this time had merely been a test to see whether Tuo Li wanted to kill him, not an attempt to save Ilis.

Strictly speaking, Ilis had saved herself.

However, after testing Tuo Li and confirming that he truly wanted to kill him, Leo knew that he, Banville, and Ilis were now passengers in the same boat.

No matter where they ran, they would next become the targets of two Formal Wizards whose emotions had been manipulated.

Hearing Leo's words, Tuo Li's eyes turned bloodshot. He said, "Ilis, you must die. Leo, you deserve to die too."

Tuo Li aimed at Ilis and Leo, preparing to cast Giant Hand once more.

Leo inwardly cursed.

If they had to withstand Magical Pressure in this form, they would have no power to fight back at all.

Yet before long, the Magical Pressure vanished.

Puzzled, Leo looked up at Tuo Li and saw him suddenly clutching his head as he said, "Instructor, don't even think of controlling me.
