A sneer appeared at the corner of Constantine's mouth as he looked at Lin Yun, who was still methodically writing runes.
Suddenly, the probing runes floating in the air were blocked by Lin Yun for the time being. He then used these probing runes to open the closed door at the back.
As Lin Yun's runes were written, mana fluctuations appeared on the gate that seemed to be forged from cyan iron. A wisp of light shrouded the gate, and it looked as if a gate of light had suddenly opened. But it still needed time to truly open it, so it was only showing the gate for now.
But Constantine's expression suddenly changed. He saw the gate of light and thought that the passage had already opened, while Lin Yun was still writing runes floating in the air.
'There must be a plot. Right, the gate is already open, but he still isn't letting us make a move. Mariana's Aura is almost exhausted, and if this continues, she will definitely be killed by those repulsive puppets.
'Mariana will definitely die if this continues!
'The gate is already open, so what is that Mafa Merlin doing? A plot? Right, that guy is definitely the guardian of this place, he is a special puppet, he is setting up an even bigger plot.
'This can't go on, we have to escape this place immediately …'
The more Constantine thought about it, the more he felt that his conjecture was correct. Ever since he met Lin Yun, Lin Yun hadn't released a single spell. Apart from his strength in the field of alchemy, he hadn't released a single spell since entering the trial field. He hadn't even released a shield.
'A mage daring to approach a dangerous puppet without a shield, and even daring to make physical contact … What kind of joke is this? There can't be such a mage!'
Constantine no longer paid attention to Lin Yun and instead stared at Mariana on the battlefield, as well as the light gate at the back.
Just as Mariana broke free from the encirclement of the three dual-wielding puppets, Constantine burst out with deathless aura and rushed out with his narrow sword.
"Mariana, hurry up and charge with me. The Light Door has already been opened. We'll be safe once we leave this place!"
Constantine burst out with an ashen deathless aura and kept swinging his narrow sword, sending a dozen Aura Slashes at the three dual-wielding puppets. He then took advantage of the opportunity to pull Mariana's hand and rush towards the door of light.
As Constantine unleashed his power, the detection runes that were temporarily shielded began to tremble. The magic runes floating in the air shattered one after another.
In less than a second, more detection runes appeared in the air, but they were enough to determine how strong Constantine's power was.
In an instant, light flickered as two dual-wielding puppets and two casting puppets appeared on the square.
The five dual-wielding puppets chased after Constantine and Mariana. The three casting puppets, in addition to releasing Firebolts, also released Light Rays.
"Damnit, Constantine, you b * stard, what are you doing? Who told you to care? I can settle my own battle! I can get rid of those stupid iron lumps by myself!"
Mariana struggled and roared, but Constantine didn't let go. He even burst out with Aura and charged towards the light gate.
After dodging those few rays of light, Constantine arrived in front of the light gate in less than three seconds and didn't slow down at all.
But a loud bang could be heard, along with Constantine's blood-curdling screech.
The membrane of light was like a barrier between worlds. Constantine crashed into it as fast as he could. He was lucky that he didn't die, but one of his arms was broken and a part of his head caved in. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
On the other side, Mariana was struggling, but she didn't suffer any injuries.
But following Constantine's movements, the light fluctuated and the runes Lin Yun had spent a few minutes setting up were instantly crushed. The probing runes that had been temporarily shielded jumped out and a layer of complicated patterns appeared on the light gate and spread to the barrier covering the square.
The door of light behind Laibo's group, which had been delayed by Lin Yun, was forcibly closed. Apart from Laibo, the others' auras were instantly captured by the array.
In an instant, sixteen more level 39 puppets appeared.
As the patterns covered the entire light barrier, a blood-colored rune appeared at the top of the light barrier, and puppets kept appearing on the square along with the light.
The number of puppets had doubled in an instant!
Constantine and Mariana were immediately blocked at the end of the square by over forty puppets. A volley of attacks from these puppets would be enough to kill the two of them!
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change in a few seconds. Laibo was startled and angry, but what could he do now? Could it be that he could watch his junior apprentice sister die in front of him?
Before those newly appeared puppets could awaken, the Song of Sacrifice in Laibo's hands blossomed with a bright white radiance and a dozen-meter-long grey Aura Slash pierced into the puppets.
It was the berserk power of a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse, and it was the power of deathless aura. It wasn't something these level 39 puppets could resist. Even if they couldn't get rid of them, they could forcibly open a path.
Laibo swung the Song of Sacrifice and his body turned into a grey arrow. His speed instantly burst through the sound barrier and he used three seconds to forcibly kill his way to the end of the square.
After driving away those puppets, Laibo didn't have time to say anything. He immediately grabbed the injured Constantine and the sullen Mariana and rushed back through the puppets.
After returning to the entrance, Laibo was a bit pale and the Song of Sacrifice in his hand had once again returned to its pure black color. The power he had burst out with in a few seconds had relied on his vitality.
If not for that, he wouldn't have been able to save Constantine and Mariana.
Constantine foolishly looked at the scene before his eyes. His arm had already been reattached and the huge amount of vitality within his body was also attached to his arm, helping it recover.
"How could this be, it shouldn't be like this …"
Mariana's expression turned even darker.
"Hmpf, I already said that I don't need anyone to interfere in my battle, I can settle it myself. Idiot, idiot, who told you to meddle in other people's business?
"Also, idiot senior apprentice brother, why did you save us? I can do it myself, let that idiot Constantine die!"
Just as the two of them quarreled, two rays of light appeared in the sky and two Heaven Puppets appeared on the square.
Following the appearance of these two Heaven Puppets, over forty level 39 puppets immediately looked like soldiers that had found their commander. They were no longer as scattered as before. The dual-wielding puppets all appeared in front of them and turned into a sharp peak that charged towards everyone. The casting puppets in the back raised their arms and kept shooting bolts of spells.
Of the two Heaven Puppets, one was a level 41 casting puppet, while the other was a level 41 melee puppet. But that melee puppet had four arms, each holding a two-meter-long greatsword.
This huge sword was clearly not an ordinary weapon. The runes on it and the flickering light indicated that it was made of special and precious materials. What was special was the aura that appeared on the blade, which was an even more obvious annihilation aura.
Apart from the strongest Fusion Shield, a mage's shield of the same rank was no different from a piece of paper in front of this kind of weapon. Moreover, the power of annihilation wasn't like the power of Magic Penetration, it only had a powerful tearing effect on spells.
The power of annihilation was a kind of pure destruction power that had a very powerful tearing effect on Battle Aura Armors of Sword Saints.
Seeing these two Heaven Puppets appear, Laibo paled. He had fought against these puppets and understood their fighting strength too well.
The Heaven Puppets here were too powerful. Every single one of them had awakened wisdom, and all of them had obtained special powers. Before understanding the other side's special powers, their fighting strength couldn't be judged by their ranks.
Moreover, the more puppets there were, the more power these level 39 puppets could display. They simply couldn't be treated as ordinary puppets.
"Sir Mafa, what's going on?"
Laibo's tone had somewhat changed. He wasn't confident in surviving under the siege of two Heaven Puppets and over forty level 39 puppets.
Now, he could only ask Lin Yun for help.
Lin Yun's amazing puppeteering ability would be very useful when dealing with these puppets. The numbers of these puppets weren't particularly threatening to Lin Yun.
As for Lin Yun, he stood in the corner and slowly put away his crystal pen and ink before calmly looking at the scene before him.
The rules of this trial field were different from those of the outside world. The puppets outside would definitely attack as long as they saw someone, but the puppets here would only attack the person whose aura had been captured by the array.
As long as Lin Yun didn't make a move, even if these people fought fiercely, no puppet would attack Lin Yun no matter how fierce the battle was.
Originally, he had been cracking the array, but the array of the last stage was different from the previous stages. It was related to the last gate, so the cracking method was different.
Unless he passed the stage normally, he would have to take that gate into account when cracking it.
He first shielded the detection rune and didn't directly crack it because he wanted to use the array to crack the entrance and change the opening Laws of the entrance. That way, he would be able to easily get rid of the four puppets attacking Mariana after cracking the array and leave this place.
Unfortunately, everything was ruined by that idiot Constantine.
He blocked the detection rune, but there were still four puppets in the square!
Constantine's attack immediately made the puppets react and the array also started operating. The previous shielding method lost its effect because the array started operating and changed.
The original static cracking method would slowly become useless, and the final result would be the array returning to normal, capturing Constantine's power and creating four more puppets.
But this didn't matter. At worst, he could just crack it again and it wouldn't take him a few minutes.
Unfortunately, Constantine made a huge mistake. He thought himself clever and opened a door of light and rammed into it. That kind of power made the array think that he was trying to escape, so he tried to force his way through.
Then, the array reacted and raised the difficulty of the last stage to its peak. It even sealed the entire array.
They could either get rid of these puppets to leave alive, or they could only wait to be killed.
And facing the danger of Constantine and Mariana, Laibo had no choice but to make a move. Once Laibo made a move, another Heaven Puppet appeared.
The situation instantly became like this. Lin Yun stood on the side with a cold expression. He simply didn't plan on making a move, he just watched. In any case, the array didn't plan on targeting him.
Once the Secret Monastery's people got rid of all the puppets, the entrance would naturally open, or even if the Secret Monastery's people died, the entrance would still open.
Facing Laibo's question, Lin Yun only sneered.
"Someone forcibly broke through the entrance and activated the trial's highest difficulty. The entrance would naturally open after getting rid of these puppets."
Laibo led the Secret Monastery's people and kept killing their way through the puppets. But after a dozen seconds, they only got rid of a level 39 puppet.
As the number of these puppets increased, their coordination became more and more powerful. Every puppet had no blind spots and no flaws. They could attack from any angle.
Facing Lin Yun's answer, Laibo could only bitterly smile, but he couldn't say anything else.
Mariana had a cold expression and a proud expression.
"Senior Brother, what that idiot Constantine did is our Secret Monastery's business. There's no need to beg outsiders, I'll definitely tear down these repulsive iron lumps."
Constantine remained silent and strenuously fought. He simply didn't have the energy to speak. If a flaw appeared in their coordination, they might be submerged by the puppets.
Thick rays of light flew over and were all blocked by Laibo. As for that four-armed Heaven Puppet, it was now holding its weapon and rushing over.
That four-armed puppet swung its two-meter-long greatsword, but its four arms didn't clash at all. Instead, it could maintain its peak power at any time.
Laibo had a solemn expression and the Song of Sacrifice in his hand shone with a white light. The edge of the sword was the first to blossom with a pure white radiance and the deathless aura of his deathless aura sharply increased by at least 30%.
The grey Aura Slash slashed towards that four-armed puppet, but the puppet's speed didn't decrease. The four greatswords slid in front of its body and runes shone on its four arms. In an instant, a layer of sharp power that seemed capable of easily tearing through space appeared on the surface of the greatswords forged from special materials.
Laibo's deathless aura was cut a few times by the puppet's four swords and was instantly torn to shreds. The deathly still aura enveloped the four-armed puppet's body and only slightly slowed it down, it didn't have any effect on the weapons.
The sharp aura merely trembled for a moment before it tore apart the deathly stillness that enveloped it.
The four sharp blades crisscrossed and cut through Laibo like a hot knife cutting through butter.
The Song of Sacrifice instantly burst with a pure white radiance and turned into a shadow that clashed with the four-armed puppet's greatswords over thirty times.
Amidst a series of clashing sounds, Laibo and the four-armed puppet had unknowingly left the center of the battlefield. Laibo's protection for Constantine's group of six had been thoroughly lost.
In the distance, Lin Yun calmly watched. Anderfa came out and looked at the battlefield with interest before suddenly letting out a cry of alarm.
"Eh, it's actually a Sundering Armor Rune. That guy's luck is really good, he has four arms but has a Sundering Armor Rune. It should be very easy to tear through a mage's shield. No, that thing's greatest use is to attack cities. It would be more useful against Sword Saints. A Sword Saint's Battle Aura Armor would be very difficult to resist.
"This Laibo is in danger. That thin layer of Battle Aura Armor of his definitely won't be able to stop him if he gets hit. He might even be beheaded …"
Anderfa laughed, taking pleasure in Laibo's misfortune. As for Lin Yun, he frowned and looked at that Heaven Rank casting puppet in the distance.
Its shape was the same as the previous casting puppet, it had eight Firebolts on its left arm and a thick ray of light on its right arm.
Moreover, a flame rune was shining on that guy's arm. This meant that the power of the other side's Firebolts would be a lot stronger than usual.
Heaven Rank Puppets could awaken wisdom. The Puppet Plane's Heaven Rank Puppets were an intelligent race. In the future, how could those crazy mages not have designs on the Puppet Plane? It's just that they wouldn't be treated too kindly.
At that time, they learned that the Puppet Plane's Heaven Rank Puppets had already formed a race. Those puppets that hadn't awakened wisdom were something else to the Heaven Rank Puppets.
Yes, something else. Without wisdom, they were just a pile of scrap iron. Even a level 39 puppet was just a pile of tools in the eyes of the Heaven Rank Puppets. This view was no different from a human's.
And at that time, Noscent's mages learned the name of the puppet race, Cybertan.
The Cybertan Race meant the flames of life burning within steel. Facing this group of steel lumps, Noscent's mages were more worried than facing the Undead Plane. It was because conquering a plane with life wasn't that difficult. Even the Undead Plane only needed a holy light mage to purify a few hundred thousand low level Undeads with an Extraordinary Spell.
But facing so many different kinds of puppets, they simply couldn't restrain them. They met a huge resistance when conquering the Puppet Plane.
