The blood dissipated along with the incantation and the surrounding world seemed to turn blood-colored. A terrifying Greater Devil's shadow appeared in the world of shadows. As for Lin Yun's aura, he was becoming weaker and weaker. Anderfa and Syudos were somewhat unable to hold on.
The silencing magic pattern had already reached its limit and the Draconic Staff's radiance blossomed to its peak. The Crystal Phoenix looked at that Greater Devil's shadow and let out a mournful shriek.
At this point in the fight, Lin Yun knew that he couldn't defeat Layford. That crazy guy actually dared to sacrifice his own vitality to summon the power of a Greater Devil to cast an instant death curse.
And that Magic Tool might have been made from the head of a dead Devil. Using the power of a Devil required a price. This was the rule set by the Devils. No matter who it was, as long as they could pay the corresponding price, they would be able to exchange for the corresponding thing.
Some relatively weak Devils had once spread their faith in the mortal world. An ordinary person's soul could be exchanged for extraordinary achievements in a certain skill, but their lifespan was only ten years. After ten years, their soul would belong to the Devil.
Ten years was just enough time for a Devil to close their eyes and rest. Exchanging it for a soul was a very profitable transaction.
And to mages, vitality was a bargaining chip that no Devil could refuse. Some powerful Greater Devils had existed for an unverifiable amount of time because the life they obtained from the transaction kept extending their lifespan.
The bloody world covered over a kilometer, and the vague shadow of a Greater Devil was calmly waiting, calmly watching Layford and Lin Yun.
As the price, the Greater Devil would first take away Layford's vitality before taking away Lin Yun's vitality and soul.
Earning the lives of both sides was a Devil's creed, it was also the price of making a deal with a Devil.
The fluctuations of the battle had already been noticed by the Starry Sky College. It had only been an ordinary battle, so the Starry Sky College didn't feel like getting involved. They didn't need to care about the conflict between these guys.
This was the reason why every villa here was so far away from each other, and every tree was protected by a huge barrier.
But now, it was getting bigger and bigger. Not only were many things destroyed, but the Starry Sky College had no choice but to make a move.
"Sir Layford, Sir Mafa, please stop."
An ashen Griffin Rider was flying in the air, looking at the bloody world's shadow becoming clearer and clearer with an unsightly expression.
'That b * stard of the Jackson Family, do you think the Starry Sky College is the Jackson Family's backyard? You actually released such a formidable power and even used the power of a Devil.
'That damned guy, blatantly trying to murder a guest of the Starry Starry Sky College. Do you really think that the Starry Sky College is a bargaining chip?
"Sir Layford, please stop immediately. This is the Starry Sky College, not your Jackson Family's backyard!"
The Griffin Rider floated in the air and once again issued a warning, but Layford simply ignored him. He was rigidly staring at Lin Yun, his killing intent already transforming into ashen black oil floating around him.
"Devil Griffin," Griffin said, "Griffin," Griffin, "Devil"
One huge Griffin after another flew over from the distance. There were a dozen of them, as well as two Heaven Rank powerhouses. Their mana fluctuations and aura were already blossoming, they were ready to intervene as long as Layford didn't stop.
Layford had a sinister expression as he raised his head and glanced at the Griffin Riders in the sky.
"You loathsome guys, you'd best f * ck off, this has nothing to do with you. Don't blame us for not warning you if you get accidentally killed."
Following Layford's words, the Greater Devil's shadow that had been looking at Layford and Lin Yun suddenly turned to look at the Griffin Riders in the sky.
In an instant, those huge Griffins looked as if they had met their natural predator and screamed in alarm as they fled into the distance.
Layford grinned as he looked at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, you are screwed. No one can think of saving you this time. Those loathsome guys already left, just wait to be dragged to Hell.
"This is the punishment for offending the dignity of the Jackson Family, I want everyone to know!
"You can die in peace, I'll send everyone surnamed Merlin to accompany you as soon as possible …"
Lin Yun 'expression suddenly calmed down. He closed his eyes and the Natural Demiplane started shaking. A wisp of terrifying aura started appearing on Lin Yun' body.
At this time, a cold voice suddenly echoed from the depths of the Starry Sky College.
It was like a person sighing softly.
"Enough."
However, this seemingly soft sigh and ordinary voice brought about an earth-shattering change.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to move along with those two words. Countless huge runes of light appeared in the air.
That blood-colored phantom instantly collapsed and the Greater Devil's shadow let out an unwilling roar before instantly disappearing.
The dangerous aura spreading from Lin Yun 'body was instantly pacified, his raging mana was also extinguished, and Layford's raging killing intent also dissipated.
Even half of his body that had turned into a pitch-black skeleton returned to normal, and a skeletal magic tool flew out of his face.
The mana fluctuations on the battlefield were instantly swept away, only leaving a slight breeze.
Lin Yun's strongest fighting state dissipated and he looked at the depths of the Starry Sky College with a pale expression, shock flashing in his eyes.
'Law Power, this is the true power of Law. Just one word can make the surrounding Laws change according to the other party's words. This is a power that ordinary Heaven Mages can't grasp.
Even if the other side relied on the huge array formation within the Starry Sky College to accomplish this, it still showed one thing: The person who spoke was at least at the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm.
If the other side hadn't stopped the fight, Lin Yun would have been ready to risk his life. He couldn't defeat the berserk Layford, not to mention that the other side was a dark curse mage that completely countered Lin Yun, who wasn't even at the Heaven Rank. His strongest point just happened to be Lin Yun's weakest point.
He couldn't defeat the other side, and he couldn't even remain undefeated. If the other side wanted to kill him, he could only go all-out.
But it looked like there was no need for that now.
Lin Yun stood on the ground with a pale complexion and half of his hair had turned snow-white. Although his face had recovered to its youthful state because he had used the best Health Potion he had refined, his white hair wouldn't recover for a while. That was a sign of excessive vitality consumption.
Layford was fearfully looking at the depths of the Starry Sky College. Even if the other side no longer had any aura or voice, Layford knew that if he didn't give the other side face, the other side would definitely dare to get rid of him here.
Someone that could control the Starry Sky College's array formation had to be a powerhouse with a high position in the Starry Sky College. If that kind of powerhouse got rid of him, the Jackson Family wouldn't cause trouble for the Starry Sky College for a dead person.
Looking at the pitch-black skull in his hand, a painful expression flashed on Layford's face. The scarlet light flickering within the pitch-black skull had already disappeared. At least for now, this Magic Tool couldn't be used. It would take at least a few days for it to return to normal.
On the other side, Raphael's fight was already over. He had cut off the other side's arm and now, that mage had fallen to the ground and his severed arm was frozen in ice. Raphael was a bit pale. After all, he wasn't that much stronger than the other side.
Layford coldly glared at Lin Yun, his eyes filled with malice.
'Just a bit more, just a bit more, we almost got rid of that repulsive guy. As long as we got rid of Mafa Merlin, the Merlin Family's territory in the Raging Flame Plane would have been snatched by our Jackson Family. The benefits contained within would definitely be greater than the Family's benefits in the Odin Kingdom.
'But those undying scoundrels of the Starry Sky College actually got involved in this matter. That Mafa Merlin is only a country bumpkin of the Andalusia Kingdom, why would they help him?
'Damn b * stards.'
"Mafa Merlin, you were lucky this time, but don't think that this matter is over. Our Jackson Family is also qualified to participate in the Starry Sky College's gathering seven days from now. At that time, you'll know the consequences of offending our Jackson Family.
"You'd best obediently hand over the Raging Flame Plane's territory to our Jackson Family in a few days, as well as the Raging Flame Plane's races you have captured. Give them all to us and we won't be stingy with our kindness. We'll let you live and your Merlin Family can continue existing.
"Otherwise, Mafa Merlin, you'll go to Hell. Not only you, but everyone surnamed Merlin will accompany you in Hell!"
Layford had a malicious and unreconciled expression. He wanted to attack again, but he didn't dare to. In the distance, the group of Griffins that had been scared away had already been controlled by the Griffin Riders and were flying back. The furious Griffin Riders were no longer prepared to talk nicely.
Layford carried the unconscious White and flew into the distance with the other mage of the Jackson Family.
The group of Griffin Riders flew back, and the Captain's face was as black as coal. He landed on the ground and looked at the pale Lin Yun, whose hair had already turned white, with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, are you alright? We are deeply sorry that something like this happened in the Starry Sky College.
"But to tell the truth, we simply can't control that arrogant Layford. The Jackson Family's scoundrel is famous for being arrogant. If not for the powerhouses in the depths of the college speaking up, that guy would have definitely gotten rid of us …"
The cavalry captain and the other cavalrymen all had shock and admiration on their faces. A person who clearly hadn't reached the Heaven Rank was actually able to fight a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse to a draw, and he could even barely hold on when the other side burst with power.
After all, if a dark curse mage wanted to curse someone who wasn't at the Heaven Rank and didn't have the protection of Extraordinary Power, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Lin Yun drank a Health Potion and the surging vitality poured into his dried-up body, continuously nourishing his body and replenishing his consumed vitality.
"I'm fine, I'll have to trouble Sir to help me find a new place to live."
The captain sighed in relief. If Lin Yun looked into this matter, the Starry Sky College wouldn't be able to keep its face. After all, only Artisans came this time. If it spread that an invited Artisan dared to brazenly attack the Starry Sky College, the Starry Sky College wouldn't be able to hold any gatherings in the future.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, we are also very sullen about this matter, but we really can't get involved …"
The captain had a bitter expression, and the surrounding Griffin Riders also had sullen expressions. The Griffin Riders represented the Starry Sky College in patrolling Neverwinter City, but to those Heaven Rank powerhouses, especially extraordinary ones, as long as they didn't attack the Starry Sky College, it would be very difficult to make things difficult for them. These people simply didn't feel like paying attention to the Griffin Riders.
Lin Yun didn't make things difficult for these Griffin Riders and instead looked for an independent villa. He didn't care about the defenses and went in.
This time, a group of Griffin Riders used their authority to move Lin Yun's residence to the place closest to the Starry Sky College. As long as a battle broke out there, a Heaven Rank powerhouse would rush over within ten seconds. The Starry Sky College's array formation couldn't stop the fluctuations of the battle from spreading.
After entering, Lin Yun entered the Natural Demiplane.
Just as he entered the Demiplane, Xiuban let out a startled shout.
"Sir Merlin, how come half of your hair is white?"
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He only shook his head and entered the laboratory to refine potions.
Outside, Reina's expression was a bit cold. That idiot Xiuban couldn't see through it, but how could she not?
The Ancestor Soul on the side was horrified.
"He was cursed, and it's a very terrifying curse. A lot of his vitality was consumed in a short time. Truly frightening, there is actually a Curse Mage that dares to provoke this monster …"
Xiuban loudly shouted outside, wanting to tear apart that b * stard while Lin Yun started compounding a potion.
It looked like he could resist this battle, but in fact, he couldn't defeat Layford. As long as ten minutes passed, the best outcome would be both sides suffering. After that outcome, Lin Yun 'strength would sharply decline for a very long time. Moreover, his magic path would no longer be perfect and he would need a very long time to make up for it. He could only consider advancing to the Heaven Rank once his magic path was perfect once again.
