The pile of cannon fodder was quickly cleaned up, and a mage's silhouette could be faintly seen in the back. The red-eyed Xiuban brandished Carnage and rushed over.
"Hey, the last one. Come, let Lord Xiuban smash your head."
Xiuban swung Carnage with terrifying power and ruthlessly smashed it towards that mage. But suddenly, a Fusion Shield appeared in front of Xiuban. Numerous earth runes were flowing on top of it, and it seemed that the surrounding earth's power had gathered there in an instant.
Xiuban's Carnage hit the surface of the Fusion Shield and a white shockwave kept spreading in the surroundings. In less than a second, a thick Earth Spike suddenly appeared under Xiuban's feet and sent him flying. He was still in the air, but blood was already splattering everywhere.
After landing, the red-eyed Xiuban suddenly reacted. The one in front of him was a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and not an ordinary one at that!
Even a 1st Rank Heaven Rank powerhouse's shield couldn't easily resist his all-out attack.
Seeing that he couldn't win, Xiuban started flying back as soon as he landed. Several several-dozen-meter-big boulders smashed into the place where Xiuban had just been standing, and the huge power made the earth shake.
Xiuban and Reina retreated to the back at this time. A battle of this level wasn't something they could get involved in. The aura emitted by the other side clearly wasn't that of a 1st Rank Heaven Mage.
The newcomer was wearing an ordinary robe and holding a golden staff in his hand. At the top of the staff, there was a fist-sized Earth Gem embedded.
The mage's face looked ordinary, just like the ancient earth. There was nothing special about him at all.
And when that mage walked over, Lin Yun felt that each of his steps seemed to coincide with the pulse of the earth. As he walked, the pressure kept increasing, as if the earth under his feet was helping him.
Lin Yun coldly looked at that mage.
"Who the hell are you?"
The mage didn't say anything and instead raised the magic staff in his hand as an answer. Earth runes appeared in the surroundings of that magic staff, and in an instant, the surrounding earth looked as if a slumbering giant had suddenly come to life.
A ten-meter-big hand suddenly rose in front of Lin Yun and ruthlessly swatted towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun frowned. Flames flickered on the surface of his body and he instantly appeared a dozen meters away. As for that rock hand, it fell on the ground, causing the earth to shake and thick cracks to appear.
It wasn't over yet. Lin Yun felt a faint wisp of mana appear under his feet. Then, Rock Spikes flickering with a metallic luster suddenly shot out of the ground. The numerous Rock Spikes seemed to be following Lin Yun and kept chasing Lin Yun.
Soon, the area where Lin Yun was dodging was filled with eight-meter-long Rock Spikes. These Rock Spikes surrounded Lin Yun.
Then, in an instant, all the Rock Spikes started converging towards the center. The Rock Spikes flickered with a metallic luster as they pierced through the ground. A vacuum appeared where the Rock Spikes pierced through the air, causing dust and air to surge.
Lin Yun's expression was cold as he coldly snorted. A ring of mana suddenly burst out of his body. Mana gathered the power of the elements and turned into a ring of ice and fire. The ring of ice and fire turned into a shockwave that instantly spread in the surroundings.
Those hard Rock Spikes were all twisted into pieces. In an instant, there were no longer any Rock Spikes within a hundred meters of Lin Yun.
As the dust settled, the earth mage on the other side raised his staff and kept chanting incantations. Eight vortexes appeared on the ground and swallowed everything in the surroundings. Twenty-meter-tall Rock Puppets crawled out of these eight vortexes.
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen Level 38 and 39 Rock Puppets had emerged, and from the eight vortexes on the surface of the earth, there was still a steady stream of Rock Puppets coming out of them.
Xiuban and Reina dealt with the increasing number of Rock Puppets while the Book of Death in Lin Yun's hands automatically flipped to the Element Chapter's page.
Anderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to appear on Lin Yun's right side, while the Book of Mantras floated on Lin Yun's left side. Syudos' two flaming eyes floated at the top of the Book of Mantras, firmly staring at that earth mage.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us? "
Lin Yun coldly looked at that earth mage. Just now, those Sword Saints, mages, and archers were all cannon fodder. If they had been dealing with someone below the Heaven Rank, those cannon fodder would have been more than enough. There was a mage army, a swordsman army, and even an archer army.
If they couldn't see through this illusion, a 1st Rank Heaven Mage might be exhausted to death.
But after seeing through the illusion, to Lin Yun, those armies were all cannon fodder.
The other side dared to ambush him outside Neverwinter City because they knew his identity and that he was a guest invited by the Starry Sky College. Moreover, they definitely had a powerful force backing them. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to disrespect the Starry Sky College.
The Starry Sky College's three Saint Alchemists weren't just Saint Alchemists, they were all powerful Heaven Mages. Moreover, the Starry Sky College wasn't just an academy, there were many forces behind it.
That earth mage didn't say anything. He expressionlessly raised his magic staff and hurriedly chanted an incantation. Cyan boulders gathered together and crazily fell towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun's Ice Fire Shield instantly exploded upon contact with the bluestone. The boulders didn't look imposing, but when they fell, Lin Yun felt the surrounding gravity sharply increase.
In an instant, Lin Yun's body faintly swayed and only his Mirror Image Incarnation remained twenty meters away.
That Mirror Image Incarnation was instantly submerged by the boulders. No, it would be more accurate to say that when the first boulder hit the Mirror Image Incarnation, the Mirror Image Incarnation exploded.
"Superheavy Boulders, damnit, Merlin, how could you provoke this kind of guy as soon as you arrived in the Odin Kingdom? That guy isn't an ordinary earth mage, he's a rock mage. Be careful of his Gravity Spell, don't get trapped, you'll die a very unsightly death …"
Anderfa let out a cry of alarm and promptly reminded Lin Yun.
Lin Yun frowned. Rock mages were a branch of earth mages. They used the Earth Law as their foundation, and some Heaven Mages that kept walking down this path would comprehend relatively special Laws.
Earth Mages who mastered rock spells would obtain the title of Rock Mage if they specialized in the path of Earth Mages.
Sturdy rocks weren't only their best defense, but they were also the most unreasonable way to attack.
Those Superheavy Boulders looked like they were only a dozen meters in size, but each one weighed over a hundred thousand kilograms. Xiuban wouldn't be able to resist that kind of fierce attack.
Moreover, the falling speed would keep getting faster and faster, reaching the lowest point at the fastest speed and the heaviest weight. At that time, any piece of rock might have the power of a 1st Rank Heaven Sword Saint, and with its sturdy shape, anything could be smashed through.
The huge boulders kept chasing after Lin Yun, but Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield would definitely be able to resist a wave of these Superheavy Boulders. More importantly, that guy didn't necessarily only know Superheavy Boulders.
After being chased for a minute, Lin Yun became angry. That rock mage didn't say a word, he only kept attacking with a dark expression. Anyone who was walking normally would get angry when encountering such an inexplicable guy.
Lin Yun's body suddenly stopped, and boundless ice and flames appeared on both sides of his body. Ice and Fire Dual Elemental Incarnations were used, and then the ice and fire fused once again, forming an eight-meter-tall Ice and Fire Elemental Incarnation.
Flame-covered spheres of ice kept rushing out and colliding with those Superheavy Boulders. The huge power and the explosive power of the flames slightly changed the angle of the Superheavy Boulders' fall and made them fall around Lin Yun.
Then, that expressionless rock mage took out a handful of crushed stones and scattered them. After a few incantations, those crushed stones disappeared. At the same time, the gravity within ten meters around Lin Yun sharply increased by ten times. The huge gravity felt like a huge mountain was pressuring Lin Yun's head. Lin Yun's Law Runic Shield was pressured until it deformed.
At the same time, the rock mage kept chanting and seventeen huge Superheavy Boulders fell towards Lin Yun. And with the tenfold gravity around Lin Yun, the power of these falling boulders became even stronger.
Lin Yun sneered.
"You even took out a fragment of a shattered Earth Elemental Plane, you are really going all out."
Just as those Superheavy Boulders were about to fall, Lin Yun suddenly took a step forward. At that moment, the distance between them seemed to have shortened. That ordinary step, coupled with the huge body of the Ice and Fire Elemental Incarnation, crossed seventeen to eighteen meters in one step. That area covered by the Superheavy Boulders was completely left behind by Lin Yun.
In an instant, a purple light flew out of the Draconic Staff and the Purple Dragon Incarnation appeared behind Lin Yun. The Purple Dragon had a dignified expression as it held a huge wheel shadow. At the same time, the shadow of an ancient scales appeared, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras fell on the two trays of the scales.
Lin Yun immediately broke free from the gravity area and rapidly approached that rock mage like an arrow.
At this time, an astonished expression appeared on the expressionless rock mage's face.
Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and rapidly condensed a Law Runic Bomb in front of him. The numerous runes converged into the shape of a Four Element Bomb, filled with the power of law runes. And the power of these law runes far surpassed the power of the Four Element Bomb.
Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel with an evil grin on his three faces. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could display the power of an Extraordinary Magic Tool, and the berserk elemental storm it spouted wasn't much different from the elemental storm in the void.
As for Syudos, he controlled the Book of Mantras and opened an ancient and gorgeous flaming gate. Boundless flames transformed into a flood that spurted out.
The huge power instantly submerged that rock mage, and the Law Runic Bomb was like a sharp sword that tore a crack in that flood and flew towards the rock mage.
"Bang …"
With a loud bang, a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high soared into the sky, and a terrifying shockwave tore in all directions. Seven or eight Rock Puppets more than a hundred meters away were swept by this shockwave, and instantly turned into fragments that filled the sky.
The elemental storm and the flood of flames once again rushed towards the center of the explosion, and the berserk power tore through everything in the surroundings.
All the scenes in the Illusory Reality began to distort and change. A second later, a crack appeared in the distorted scenes, and the scene of Neverwinter City appeared outside the crack.
And when that crack appeared, eighteen beads emitting illusory radiance suddenly appeared in the air. These beads blossomed with their final radiance, wanting to restore that illusion, but they simply couldn't resist that terrifying burst of power.
In an instant, the eighteen beads simultaneously exploded, and the surrounding distorted scenes slowly dissipated like smoke. The battlefield once again appeared outside Neverwinter City.
The berserk mana fluctuations were like fireworks exploding in the dark night, spreading in the surroundings. In less than five seconds, a dozen ten-meter-long Griffins could be seen flying over from Neverwinter City.
A five-meter-tall shadow appeared within the berserk flood of flames and elemental storm. It then instantly rushed out of the range of the spells, and a dark stone sphere rapidly rolled out.
The stone sphere split in the middle, and that expressionless rock mage came out. The rock mage coldly glanced at Lin Yun, before looking at the Griffin Rider flying over. His body sank into the ground and disappeared.
The Purple Dragon shadow and the wheel shadow behind Lin Yun, as well as the ancient scales under his feet, instantly disappeared. Lin Yun also scattered his Ice-Fire Elemental Incarnation.
Lin Yun frowned as he looked at the place where the rock mage had disappeared, his mind filled with doubts.
'Who was that guy? 'A 2nd Rank Heaven Rock Mage seems to be specially used to deal with me. If it had been someone of a lower rank than an ordinary rock mage, they would have been crushed to death. The rock mage's unreasonable fighting style makes the spell storms I normally release have almost no effect.
The Rock Mage's defense was much stronger than the average Earth Mage's. He was able to take a Law Runic Bomb head-on without any damage. However, his unreasonable fighting style wasn't very effective against me.
'But if it had been my strength before returning from the starry sky ancient path, it would have been hard to say. Unless we were going all-out, we wouldn't have been able to do anything to each other.
'Could it be someone from the Quicksand Tower? But I don't think so. The Quicksand Tower is located in a pure desert, it's very difficult to find a fist-sized rock there. Rock mages can't be born in that kind of place.
'Moreover, those guys from the Quicksand Tower shouldn't be coming again. This doesn't match their style. How could those guys from the Quicksand Tower, who usually don't speak, do something like that?
'Could it be someone from the Shadow Tower? It doesn't seem like it. If the Shadow Tower was unwilling and wanted to retaliate, they definitely wouldn't brazenly lay an ambush outside Neverwinter City. Even if it was a surprise attack here …
But the Shadow Tower's mages needed to master shadow magic. Such a smelly and hard rock mage might not be able to handle the business of the Shadow Tower, it was too obvious.
'Who could it be?'
Lin Yun frowned as he pondered, but he couldn't figure out who would ambush him here. This ambush felt inexplicable, he hadn't expected it at all.
As Lin Yun was pondering this matter, those dozen Griffin Riders descended from the sky, led by a Heaven Rank Griffin Rider. After landing, he walked towards Lin Yun with a bad expression.
"What's going on? Heaven Rank powerhouses aren't allowed to fight within fifty kilometers of Neverwinter City, and no fighting is allowed within ten kilometers … "
The leading Griffin Rider didn't have time to finish his words before Lin Yun threw the Starry Sky Emblem.
The leader of the Griffin Riders caught the Starry Sky Emblem and his expression suddenly changed. After sensing the information contained within the emblem, his expression immediately improved.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, can I trouble you to tell me what happened here?"
Lin Yun took the Starry Sky Emblem with a frown.
"I encountered an ambush. There was a True Illusion and a 2nd Rank Heaven Rock Mage."
At this time, a mage approached the leader of the Griffin Riders and reported in a low voice.
"Captain, we found eighteen shattered Beads, as well as a large number of Rock Puppet fragments, as well as a pile of corpse fragments. This should be a premeditated ambush, but we couldn't find any valuable information, we didn't find any clues …"
The leader's expression was a bit unsightly. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression became sharp.
But the leader instantly walked in front of Lin Yun and faintly bowed.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, we are deeply sorry for encountering such a thing in Neverwinter City. No matter who it is, they actually dared to attack a guest invited by the Starry Sky College and must be punished.
Please take a rest in the Starry Sky Academy. The gathering will begin in seven days. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter. "
