The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 234

"Who sent you?" Helna asked, unflustered.

"You'll know soon enough." The man's right hand clenched in the air, and the stone wall's energy rippled intensely, enveloping Helna.

But at that moment, the wardrobe burst open, and Grima, with a fierce look in her eyes, charged out, her golden spear streaking like thunder, aiming for the man.

The man's expression shifted, and the energy retracted around him as he merged with the stone floor, escaping in a blink.

Grima, putting her full might into the charge, spun around. Her spear slammed into the ground with a heavy thud, its tip piercing the stone. A terrifying force surged into the earth, and as Grima turned, she wrenched the spear out, causing the room's floor to explode into rubble.

The man spat blood, forcibly pulling away from the floor, retreating hastily. "Vanish! Escape!"

But, he was not faster than Grima's golden spear. With a muffled thud, the spear's glow pierced his chest before the spear itself arrived. Blood sprayed as he was struck back violently, the spear following through, embedding itself in his chest and pinning him against the wall.

"Argh!" The man spat blood again, his body rippling as he tried to merge into the wall to flee.

Grima twisted her spear, and a burst of golden light exploded inside the man, like countless golden threads tearing through his organs, killing him instantly.

His eyes widened with shock. The man's energy gradually subsided, and he slumped to his knees, his head drooping.

"Why did you kill him? We hadn't interrogated him yet," Helna approached.

"I know him! He’s the Rocke family's secret assassin—The Shadow!" Grima's brows were furrowed as she slowly withdrew her golden spear.

"Can it truly be the Rocke family?!" Helna fumed with rage.
