"How did you move? I clearly stabbed your heart!" Jonas, Dina's assistant, looked at Dina with disbelief on his face.
He could sense that he had stabbed Dina's heart and logically speaking, Dina should have been dead. A magician, including demonic magician, has their heart as their weakness. As long as they could kill the other party through stabbing one's heart, it was not impossible to kill the other party.
So how?
How did Dina manage to survive?
Jonas looked at Dina in disbelief as blood surged out of the wound on his neck and it gathered on Dina's hand.
Dina looked at Jonas and sneered. "Do you really think that I would teach you everything I know?"
There are many secret techniques that demonic magician learned. In that world, demonic magician has developed for so many years and many of them developed various techniques that could be used when their lives were in danger.
After all, there was a period of time when demonic magicians were chased and killed by many other mages and warriors because of their actions.
During that period of time, they developed countless life saving methods.
So while the demonic magicians in this world would be weaker because they didn't dare to take risk needlessly, Dina could easily say that she was not among them. Because she had learned various methods that could change her life and death at the last moment.
This was one of them.
Swish!
The blood surged from Jonas and formed a blood ball on Dina's hand. She watched indifferently as Jonas fell down to the ground with disbelief on his face.
Before Jonas completely died, Dina said calmly, "Let me teach you the last lesson of your life. A true demonic magician will never trust anyone for any reason whatsoever."
Be it emotions, history, rationally, or any other thing, they should never ever gave their absolute trust to others.
This is the rule for demonic magicians.
Because only if they remained selfish would it be possible for them to reach the peak and achieved the goal that they had pursued for their entire life.
It is Dina's goal.
So while she gave some basic trust to Jonas, which allowed him to stay close to her, she never truly trusted him.
Splash!
The moment Jonas died, the blood ball in Dina's hand burst out and then surged into her hand, repairing her heart at speed visible to the naked eyes.
"Blood life exchange," Dina whispered in a low voice and sneered.
If the one who tried to kill her is a returnee, this technique would not work on them. Because they definitely have some protection of their heart and knew abut this method.
Once they attacked a demonic magician, none of them would dare to linger around the demonic magician within 10 meters.
Because they were afraid of being counterattacked before the other party's death.
Only some special profession would not care.
For example, warrior who has no mana heart, rune master who has set restriction on their own mana heart, alchemists who could create some strange medicine, soul magician who didn't care about their bodies' life and death, or even ordinary magic warriors and magician who mastered some strange magic spells or methods.
They have their own way to avoid being counter killed by demonic magician.
So far, they have only told a few common methods.
But the real trump cards have never been revealed.
Dina was sure that if the one standing behind her is either Ruth or Samuel, the two of them would never fall for this trap.
Blood life exchange was just like its name. It's an exchange between one's life with the other party through blood.
Since Jonas is also a demonic magician like her, the exchange was even easier.
She simply planted a curse on Jonas' body.
So if Jonas tried to kill her and succeeded in the sneak attack for whatever reason, what awaited him would be nothing more than his own death.
Because his life will be exchanged for her.
It would be done through the blood contract and curse.
So Dina was able to relax when she was with Jonas.
Not because she trusted him, but because she knew that even if he wanted to betray her, he would be the one to die in the end.
Thud!
Jonas fell down.
Dina glanced to the side and looked at the soldier who wanted to warn her. The soldier froze and tried his best to look at the distance where more rank 7 magic beasts had come once again.
"That… the magic beasts are coming again."
"I know," Dina replied and her eyes deepened. "I have no time to deal with them, so let Ruth be the one to handle it."
"What?"
The soldiers were stunned but before they could ask anything else, Dina suddenly raised her hand and formed dark bridge on the sky and walked on it outside.
"Miss Dina!"
"What do you want to do?"
*roar*
Amidst the magic beasts' roar, Dina walked across them by using her dark magic and soon disappeared from their field of view. The dark bridge that she formed disappeared completely right after she stepped on it and walked forward.
It was magical.
The soldiers were stunned.
This method made sure that they couldn't follow after Dina.
And looking at the large number of rank 7 magic beasts in front of them, they panicked and quickly arranged for people to shoot these magic beasts down.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Swish! Jleb!
On the other side of City J Base, Ruth naturally heard the commotion from the other side of the base. Because of her special position, she could still rest after killing the magic beasts from time to time.
So when the other sides were noisy, Ruth knew that something had happened.
And then she watched Dina left using the black magic bridge.
Ruth: "…."
What an ostentatious way of leaving.
It seemed to be saying that she was not afraid of others talking behind her back about her leaving City J Base in this situation.
