Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Greater Devil's expression suddenly changed. Clearly, Lin Yun was right. The Devils of Hell were even more cunning than Demons. Betrayal, deception, lies, bewitchment, these were the Devils' creed. Believing a Devil's words was the same as sending one's soul to the Devil's hands.
"Stupid guy, no matter what you say today, you won't be able to escape your fate!"
The Greater Devil, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, and Duncan, the three of them formed a triangle around Lin Yun and cautiously approached him. Extraordinary power completely enveloped Lin Yun's body, but Lin Yun didn't even raise a shield.
Suddenly, Lin Yun's aura became even more erratic, and the faint aura of life that leaked out rapidly dissipated.
Anderfa, who had been watching a joke, suddenly stopped laughing and looked at the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family with some sympathy.
"These fools are going to die, I'll bet half a minute." The leftmost face of Anderfa had a solemn expression.
The face on the right was filled with a sneer.
"I'll bet that someone will die in ten seconds, and that these three fools will be killed within a minute."
The middle face let out a strange laugh.
"No, twenty seconds at most, these three fools will die …"
Anderfa floated in the air, watching the fun. He clearly didn't plan on helping.
When the three of them were a hundred meters away from Lin Yun, they couldn't bear it anymore.
"No need to wait, this guy is already suppressed by Extraordinary Power to the point that he can't move a finger!"
"Get rid of him!"
"I want his soul!"
The three of them simultaneously made a move. The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was covered in black smoke and black scales appeared on his body. The roaring black smoke transformed into countless evil and ugly creatures that rushed towards Lin Yun.
Duncan held the pitch-black heart in one hand and the dense black smoke transformed into a black cloud. Countless abyssal spells transformed into a flood that surged towards Lin Yun.
The Greater Devil's true body floated in the air and a several-dozen-meter-tall face with a cruel smile spouted from its mouth, as if countless ghosts were roaring in pain.
In an instant, a star seemed to shine in Lin Yun's calm eyes, as if a star had suddenly exploded in the deathly silent starry sky.
Terrifying mana fluctuations burst out of Lin Yun's body, and the mana fluctuations alone slowed down the three's attacks by more than half!
The Crystal Phoenix took the initiative to fly out of the Book of Death, and as Lin Yun's mana surged, the Crystal Phoenix's body turned into a several-dozen-meter-big and boundless evil shattering light blossomed from its body.
The Crystal Phoenix took the initiative to fly out of the Book of Death, and as Lin Yun's mana surged, the Crystal Phoenix's body grew to several dozen meters in size as boundless Evil Shattering Light blossomed from its body.
The three people around him screamed at the same time. The Greater Devil's screams were even more miserable. His tens of meters large devil face looked like it had been splashed with strong acid.
The moment he saw the Crystal Phoenix, the Greater Devil immediately turned into black smoke and fled.
The Greater Devil perfectly exemplified what it meant to flee in the face of danger, and what it meant to have no principles. The instant the Greater Devil saw the Crystal Phoenix, it immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and fled.
However, the Aqua Gold Phoenix let out a phoenix cry, and a rainbow-colored light erupted from its body, instantly enveloping an area of several thousand meters in evil-vanquishing light.
The Greater Devil screamed in alarm within the evil shattering light, and the black smoke curling around its body kept dissipating as it was illuminated by the light. Even its escaping speed became abnormally slow.
It had already lost its body, and only a part of its soul remained. The former Greater Devil was now only a Magic Tool Incarnation that could display the power of the Heaven Rank.
And the Crystal Phoenix just happened to be the bane of that guy from all angles.
The Greater Devil's body kept shrinking as it was illuminated by the light. In the end, it was grabbed by the Crystal Phoenix and its sharp claws tore the Greater Devil apart before devouring the Greater Devil's soul.
The Greater Devil's soul wouldn't disappear even if it was torn to shreds. Even if only a part of the soul remained, the Greater Devil would still be able to live, but he would lose most of his power and memories.
After being devoured by the Crystal Phoenix, the Greater Devil's soul kept howling in grief in the belly of the Crystal Phoenix. That was the place with the densest power of the evil shattering light. Any evil would be purified there.
Just as the Crystal Phoenix chased after the Greater Devil, Lin Yun didn't take out his Draconic Staff. Instead, he took out a sharp blade that seemed to have been warped by the heat.
After taking a step towards the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, Lin Yun's body seemed to merge with space as he crossed several dozen meters with one step.
The spells released by the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family were like a herd of beasts, and Lin Yun looked like he was taking a stroll within this herd of beasts. Every time he took a step, he would pass between two spells.
He didn't raise a shield and only relied on his body to pass through this flood of spells. It was like he was dancing on the tip of a blade.
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family paled and cast even more frantically. But no matter how much he cast, he could only see that Lin Yun hadn't released any spells, he hadn't even used a shield, yet he easily passed through the flood of spells and got closer and closer.
He clearly looked like an ordinary person, but the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family felt that he was an ordinary person, while Lin Yun was like a Heaven Rank powerhouse walking towards him. A huge sense of crisis enveloped his body like a plague.
"Ah, Mafa Merlin, die, die, die, I'm the Heaven Rank powerhouse, I'm …"
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was filled with fear, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Lin Yun calmly passed through the flood of spells, taking one step at a time. It was as if those berserk spells were taking the initiative to avoid Lin Yun.
After reaching three meters in front of the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family had already stopped casting spells and cast defensive spells on himself with a frightened expression.
Lin Yun coldly glanced at the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family.
"Colluding with a Greater Devil of Hell and continuously sacrificing the children of your family is a disgrace to a mage. Using spells to get rid of you would be an insult to magic."
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was alarmed.
"Mafa Merlin, you can't kill me, you can't do this …"
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family had at least nine layers of defensive spells around him, while Lin Yun hadn't even raised a shield. But the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was already scared out of his wits.
Lin Yun sneered and instantly swung the strange twisted blade in his right hand. When the sharp blade came in contact with the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family's shields, those shields were like a bubble that was easily pierced. The sharp blade easily cut off the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family's head and even shattered all the mana and elemental power in front of it.
A clear trace floated in the air for a long time, and no mana or elemental power could approach that trace.
After getting rid of the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, Lin Yun put away the sharp blade in his hand. He had obtained the claw of a Mana Outcast on the starry sky ancient path, and this one was relatively intact. The power of the Submerged Magic Essence Iron was clearly displayed here.
Lin Yun couldn't release any mana while holding that sharp blade, but any mana or elemental power would be like a river meeting a stone when approaching the Submerged Magic Essence Iron. No matter how powerful it was, it would involuntarily slide to the sides.
If an ordinary mage couldn't perfectly control their mana, they might injure themselves the moment they touched the Submerged Magic Essence Iron, causing their mana to be extinguished.
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family clearly didn't know that Lin Yun had relied on the power of the Submerged Magic Essence Iron to a large extent to be able to reach that level.
And to achieve that level, one would need at least a dozen levels to be able to do it without any defenses, it would be as if they were actively avoiding the spells.
That was an absolute gap that couldn't be made up for. No matter what method was used to make up for the difference, it was like the difference between one grain of sand and the sea and two grains of sand and the sea.
The Charlotte Family was scared out of his wits, and his head was easily cut off.
On the other side, the Greater Devil was also devoured by the Aqua Gold Phoenix. Ten seconds had passed!
Duncan was already scared silly, the half of his face that wasn't a skeleton was filled with shock and fear.
"You … Who are you? You aren't Mafa Merlin, damnit, how could Mafa Merlin be so powerful? Impossible, impossible …
'Archmage, this is impossible, an Archmage can't be so powerful, impossible …
'Damnit, who are you, who are you … "Duncan retreated while shouting in alarm.
Duncan screamed in fright as he retreated. After retreating a few steps, Duncan gritted his teeth and spat out several Abyssal Runes that were emitting black smoke.
As the runes flew out, a vortex formed from black smoke appeared. The vortex rapidly expanded as an Abyssal Gate appeared.
Before the Gate of the Abyss was completely formed, Duncan rushed towards the Gate of the Abyss.
He had racked his brains to crawl out of the Abyss, but now, he wanted to escape into the Abyss.
Lin Yun coldly looked at Duncan jumping into the Abyssal Gate and rapidly spat out a few Law Runes. The runes condensed into a pitch-black Wind Blade in the air.
In an instant, the Wind Blade disappeared and flashed in front of the Abyssal Gate. The Abyssal Gate closely followed behind Duncan.
A second later, Duncan's blood-curdling screams came from the Abyssal Gate. The Abyssal Gate also collapsed at the same time, and a beating pitch-black heart fell to the ground. It then decomposed into Abyssal Runes that emitted black smoke. The Crystal Phoenix's evil-breaker light shone on them and made them disappear.
"Damnit, it only took fifteen seconds. What is Merlin's current strength?"
Anderfa angrily cursed. None of the three faces had guessed correctly.
Lin Yun didn't feel like doing anything else after settling the battle, but he couldn't help recalling that two idiots had been banished to the Abyss in Constance's God Nation. Since Duncan crawled out of the Abyss, the other one should have crawled out as well. How come he didn't see him?
He wanted to ask Duncan, but it was a pity that Duncan had already died in the collapsed passage. Even if that Wind Blade couldn't kill him, the collapsed space was enough to kill him so that not even his bones could be found.
The Patriarch of the Charlotte Family, Duncan, and the Greater Devil Incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice had all been eliminated. The black smoke in the surroundings slowly dissipated, and traces of many mages could be faintly seen in the surroundings. Those were the Charlotte Family's assistance in sealing this area.
As the seal was lifted, the fluctuations of the battle started spreading, along with faint roars.
"Stupid b * stards, you actually dared to ambush the Great Merlin! You fools, all of you have to die! Die, die! Have a taste of Lord Xiuban's sledgehammer! My Carnage is already thirsty, use your blood to feed my Carnage!"
Xiuban's angry roar was like a thunderclap. Even if the seal wasn't completely lifted, Lin Yun could hear it clearly.
As the black smoke slowly dissipated, Lin Yun saw many members of the Merlin Family, as well as Xiuban's group. They were all fighting against a group of Charlotte Family members.
No, saying that they were fighting would be overestimating the Charlotte Family. These guys didn't have the emblem of the Charlotte Family, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Their faces were stiff and lifeless, they were all deathsworn of the Charlotte Family.
As for Xiuban and the Merlin Family, they could only be described as a massacre. Every time Xiuban's Carnage was swung, a mage's shield would be forcibly shattered, and their bodies would be blown apart along with their shields.
As for Reina, she kept blowing out mouthfuls of ice, and ice sculptures kept appearing on the ground.
Patriarch Ofran anxiously led a group of mages of the Merlin Family and loudly shouted, "Damned b * stards, they actually dared to ambush the next Patriarch of our Merlin Family in our Merlin Family's territory.
Damnit, are you trying to ambush the next Patriarch of the Merlin Family in our Merlin Family's territory? Are you trying to start a war?
Let's get rid of these b * stards, damnit … "
The battle quickly ended, and before the alchemists of the Merlin Family could remove the blockade, the black smoke slowly dissipated and Lin Yun walked out with a calm expression.
"Sir Mafa, are … Are you alright? Are those b * stards of the Charlotte Family? "
Ofran had a nervous expression, and his face was ashen from anger.
The successor of the Merlin Family was about to become the Patriarch of the Merlin Family, but he was ambushed between the Ancestral Land and the Family. This was a slap to the face of the Merlin Family.
"Sir Merlin, where are those fools? Eh? Why is there no one? Did they run away? Let's go blow up their nest, get rid of all of them, and rob all of their wealth! "
Xiuban bared his fangs as he raised Carnage and arrogantly shouted.
Lin Yun looked at Ofran, a bit puzzled as to how they had rushed over so quickly.
"Patriarch Ofran, how come you suddenly appeared here?"
Ofran gritted his teeth, his face ashen.
"Traitor, a traitor appeared in our family. A traitor sent your whereabouts out, and because of an accident, one of your subordinates discovered it, but the news couldn't be intercepted. Unfortunately, the traitor committed suicide, and when we got the news, we immediately rushed over. Unfortunately, we were still a step too late.
"Was it those idiots of the Charlotte Family? Where are they? Did they escape? "
Anderfa floated next to Lin Yun, not saying anything, but his three faces had strange expressions.
Lin Yun smiled.
"Oh, Patriarch Ofran might have misunderstood. An Abyssal Demon came to retaliate against me, and the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family happened to be here.
"Unfortunately, the Patriarch of the Charlotte Family was killed, and his Family's Thousand Souls Sacrifice was also destroyed. Naturally, the Demon was also killed.
"Moreover, I don't know which family these people belonged to, but they all died. It's a pity.
"Oh, Patriarch Ofran, I'll have to trouble you to notify the Charlotte Family and have them change their Patriarch."
After Lin Yun finished speaking, Ofran's expression became a bit strange. The surrounding Archmages of the Merlin Family were also stunned.
The surroundings were filled with dense evil power. Not only did it have the aura of the Abyss, but it also had the aura of Hell. The fluctuations of the battle had yet to dissipate, and the traces left behind by the Extraordinary Power's pressure were still there.
Everyone could see that three people were besieging one person, and the one being besieged was obviously Lin Yun. But the other three were nowhere to be seen. If they were alive or dead, not even a bone fragment could be found.
Ofran wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and couldn't help shivering as he looked at the calm Lin Yun.
'Sh * t, that idiot Charlotte was killed? How long has it been?
That idiot seems to have already reached the Peak of the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, and with the help of the Charlotte Family's evil Magic Tool, he is no different from a true Heaven Rank powerhouse.
'Moreover, that evil Magic Tool Incarnation, as well as the Heaven Rank powerhouses with dense abyssal power, were they all killed by Mafa?
'We received the news almost at the same time as that idiot Charlotte and immediately rushed over. The battle should have only started a few minutes ago, right?
'It's over? 'Sh * t, we were only preparing to repel the idiots of the Charlotte Family, but who would have thought that Mafa would already get rid of them?
'Didn't he just inform the Charlotte Family to change their Patriarch so casually? 'Sh * t, that was the Charlotte Family's Patriarch! He was actually killed?
'How many years has it been since a Patriarch of a mage family was killed in the Andalusia Kingdom? 'Five hundred years? Eight hundred years?
Only a few mage families standing at the peak of the Andalusia Kingdom had a Patriarch unexpectedly fall during a great war over a millennium ago.
'That idiot Charlotte came to help? Then, he perished together with the Demon? 'Mafa, do you need to be so fake? Do you think we are blind? '
Ofran opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. After all, the death of a Patriarch wasn't a trivial matter. If he dared to say that he was the one who killed him, the two Patriarchs would definitely start fighting and there wouldn't be any leeway.
The surrounding mages looked at Lin Yun with strange expressions before looking at the battlefield after the black smoke dissipated. Even a Magic Apprentice could understand those traces, but Lin Yun was able to turn black into white without batting an eyelid. They couldn't help but admire him.
Originally, many old powerhouses of the Merlin Family weren't convinced that a youngster like Lin Yun had inexplicably become a Patriarch. When they came to help, they only felt that the face of the Merlin Family was the most important. After all, a person who was about to become a Patriarch was killed in their own territory. That would be a huge loss of face and they would be laughed at for a few hundred years.
But now, even the most unruly mages lowered their heads. In a few minutes, two Heaven Rank powerhouses, as well as a strange Magic Tool Incarnation that could display the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, were completely eliminated. This wasn't something an ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouse could accomplish.
More importantly, the one standing in front of him was only a Peak 9th Rank Archmage.
Ofran was overjoyed that Lin Yun was unharmed. A group of mages clustered around Lin Yun as they returned to the Merlin Family.
"Go, inform the idiots of the Charlotte Family to change their Patriarch. Their stupid Patriarch has already perished together with the Demon. Our Merlin Family is deeply regretful."
Ofran grinned as he loudly gave this order after returning to the Merlin Family.
He then turned to Lin Yun and asked, "What's going on?
"Sir Mafa, what do you think?"
Lin Yun sighed.
