And as luck would have it, these idiots had just reinforced the power of the barrier a while ago …
Sensing that terrifying power falling to the ground, Dolos clenched his teeth and threw out three True Spirit Magic Tools. He even exploded his own True Spirit Magic Staff to display the strongest power he could muster.
That Devil Finger Bone was forcibly merged with his body and a layer of pitch-black shield enveloped Dolos' body. Dolos' body also became blurry and illusory.
In the next second, a terrifying and pure destructive force exploded in the center of the barrier. The impact of the destructive force instantly filled the entire barrier. It looked like an elemental storm in the void was imprisoned in a cuboid.
After a second, the top of the barrier exploded and the chaotic elemental power transformed into a flood that rushed several kilometers into the sky.
From a distance, it looked like a multi-colored pillar of light suddenly rose from the ground and could be seen from several dozen kilometers away.
That barrier that could be broken by a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage shattered like a broken mirror.
The forty 9th Rank Archmages didn't even have the opportunity to scream before they were instantly vaporized. Dolos' body was heavily protected and had used the power of the Devil Finger Bone to turn into a hazy state, but he was still sent flying like a ragdoll. Over twenty of his bones were broken and the left side of his body had almost disappeared, exposing his internal organs.
After exploding four True Spirit Magic Tools and a Devil Finger Bone, Dolos only had one breath left. Dolos dared to cross several hundred meters of the array before stopping on a branch of an Iron Tree.
Dolos clearly only had half his life left, but he still didn't dare to stop. He used mana to cover his wound to prevent his internal organs from falling out of the left side of his body. His body turned into a blurry shadow as he rapidly fled into the distance.
And the fluctuations of the Extraordinary Four Element Bomb razed everything within a kilometer to the ground after exploding the barrier. The arrays arranged by the Starry Sky College were instantly swept away as if they were made of paper.
Lin Yun slowly walked out of the light pillar filled with destructive power. After walking a dozen meters, the rune on his forehead flickered and disappeared. The surrounding berserk elemental power also started attacking Lin Yun's shield.
Feeling the emptiness in his body, Lin Yun frowned.
'Sure enough, it's too much. A dozen seconds is the limit. Without the support of the Demiplane's mana, my mana would have been exhausted within a second, and even my vitality would have been sucked out.
The amount of mana consumed in a dozen seconds was already more than thirty times the amount of mana in his body.
'I shouldn't use the Elemental Spirit King's Incarnation as much as possible in the future. Using the Elemental Spirit King's Incarnation now is too much, I should just use the Flame Spirit King's Incarnation in the future.
Just now, he had used up half of the Mana Water in the Demiplane. If not for the Mana Lake, not only would his vitality have been squeezed dry, his soul power would have also been drained.
'No wonder powerhouses that could use the Elemental Spirit King's Incarnation during Noscent's peak were at least Peak Heaven Rank powerhouses, and under normal circumstances, only powerhouses surpassing the Heaven Rank could use it normally.'
After recovering a bit of his mana, Lin Yun looked at the place the dark mage escaped to and took a step forward. His body flickered with silver light and he instantly disappeared.
He chased the dark mage's trail all the way to a three-story building, where he saw the dark mage holding a badge and opening the building's defenses. Just as the dark mage was about to step into the building, Lin Yun spat out a golden law rune.
In an instant, the earth shook as a vivid and lifelike hand stretched out from the ground and grabbed Dolos' body.
Lin Yun landed on the ground and calmly looked at the pale Dolos. With a wave of his hand, the dazed Shawn was summoned.
"Lord Shawn, get to work. As long as you can find what I want, you can do whatever you want."
Shawn was training his laborer in the Demiplane when he was pulled out. He bared his fangs and was about to hoot, but when he heard Lin Yun's words, he immediately beamed with joy and swallowed his words.
"Don't worry about it. Oh, it's actually a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and a dark mage at that. Eh? No, it's actually a fool that made a deal with a Devil. No, why did his contract disappear …"
Dolos let out a blood-curdling scream, his entire body twitching as if he would faint at any time. It was as if he could feel Shawn peeping into his soul.
That already frightened Devil Overlord decisively tore up the contract.
After losing the power of the Devil's contract, Shawn didn't have any misgivings and turned into a ray of light that drilled into Dolos' head. Dolos, who was about to faint, immediately opened his eyes wide and let out a heart-wrenching howl.
Sir Shawn had been stifled recently. The labourers trained in the Demiplane couldn't play with souls as they pleased. If he killed one or turned them into an idiot, he wouldn't be able to become the head labourer in the future.
Normally, he would be very careful when teaching those laborers a lesson and wouldn't dare to use too much power. At most, he would use a Soul Whip. How could he casually tear apart the other party's soul like this? In any case, the soul of a Heaven Rank powerhouse wouldn't dissipate that easily.
Dolos' face had already lost all color and his eyes had lost focus. He could only instinctively let out mournful howls.
After a dozen seconds, Dolos' howls stopped and he lost control of his mana. Half of his internal organs fell down and his aura of life rapidly dissipated. At this time, Shawn came out of Dolos' head and regretfully shook his head.
"Merlin, this guy is from the Jackson Family. The mastermind is in this building, it's a guy named Layford. Do you want to get rid of him? "You'd better leave him alive for me. After all, what if that guy has some hidden treasure …"
Just as Shawn finished his words, a magic signal suddenly rose up from the building in front of him and rushed into the sky.
Layford flew out of the building and his pupils shrank when he saw Dolos' miserable state. He then coldly looked at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, you damned guy! You came here to snatch the results of my transcription! Don't even think about it!"
After saying that, Layford released a mage on Dolos' corpse and turned it into ashes. He then released a Flame Impact on his alchemy laboratory, causing half of the building to collapse.
After completing this, Layford loudly sneered.
"Mafa Merlin, don't even think about stealing my copy!"
After letting out a roar, Layford's body emitted formidable mana fluctuations. Pitch-black darkness mana surged and a deep incantation echoed.
Shawn turned palm-sized and stood on Lin Yun 'shoulder with a grin.
"Merlin, that guy isn't stupid. He first bit you and framed you for stealing his things, he didn't give you the opportunity to denounce him …"
Layford's loud roar echoed for at least ten kilometers under the effect of his mana.
It only took a few seconds for Lin Yun to feel the Griffin Riders approaching. Layford's shameless appearance made Lin Yun laugh out of anger.
He first destroyed the corpse and erased the evidence before immediately shouting "stop thief" so that everyone within ten kilometers could hear his "sorrowful and indignant" roar.
Now, Lin Yun really couldn't get rid of Layford. If they fought here and the Starry Sky College's people arrived, they wouldn't be able to see what happened even if they used Temporal Recall.
In a battle between Heaven Rank powerhouses, Extraordinary Power was added to the battle. It was a bit better at the Low Rank of the Heaven Rank, they could at least see a bit of the battle through Temporal Reversal.
But if the battle was too intense, they might need a High Rank Heaven Mage to use Temporal Recall.
'Would the Starry Sky College dispatch a 7th Rank Heaven powerhouse to handle this matter? What a joke … '
'Even if it was very easy to find out the truth of this matter, it might end up casually.
After all, the people who attacked Lin Yun's alchemy laboratory were already dead, and even their bones couldn't be found. Their souls had been torn apart by that fierce explosion.
Layford stood at the entrance of his alchemy laboratory with a proud smile on his face.
'Damnit, how could those idiots fail? That was a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse leading four 1st Rank Heaven powerhouses, as well as forty 9th Rank Archmages, and three True Spirit Magic Tools …
'Even so, they still failed and ended up being chased here by Mafa Merlin. But it doesn't matter now, everyone has already turned to ashes and no one has any proof. Instead, that idiot Mafa Merlin came here. I'll take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the results he copied.
Layford proudly sneered and took out his magic staff and Magic Tools. His mana was also fluctuating fiercely, ready to fight at any time.
"Mafa Merlin, you are lucky this time, you didn't die. But your luck will end here. I'll catch you, you shameless thief, then curse your soul and rob you of all your wealth …"
Layford's magic staff shone with a black radiance that slowly spread out and silently filled the surroundings with a large amount of dense black fog. That dense fog even had a strong interference effect on mana, making detection spells lose their effect.
But Lin Yun suddenly smiled and Shawn, who was standing on Lin Yun 'shoulder, didn't hide his ridicule.
"Merlin, that idiot thinks you don't dare to get rid of him. He thinks he can easily kill you. Get rid of him and hand over his soul to me …"
Just as Lord Sean was speaking, a low and strange murmur sounded in the surroundings, as if it was gathering from all directions.
Shawn's eyes instantly shone.
"Devil's Whisper, Merlin, there must be a lot of interesting things in that person's soul. Get rid of him, I want to tear his soul apart. He will definitely let me use it once. As the price, I can help you three times, no, five times, ten times …"
Shawn shrieked. He had been stifled for the past few years.
Ever since the mana lake condensed in the Natural Demiplane, Shawn no longer cared about the power of mana crystals. The pure and pure mana within the mana lake was the best tonic for Shawn. It had previously allowed his strength to rapidly recover, and it was now continuously increasing.
Shawn's power had already reached the peak of the Archmage realm, and with his identity as a Soul Walker, he could easily play with souls. An ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouse might be played to death by Shawn if they weren't careful.
His strength had already exceeded the limits of the Magic Tool and he even faintly showed signs of breaking free from the Magic Tool. After breaking free from the Magic Tool, Shawn's power might even rise to the Heaven Rank. With his ability to tear apart other people's souls, no one would want to be his enemy.
Lin Yun casually nodded and sneered as he looked at the confident Layford.
'That idiot Layford could fight to a draw before advancing to the Heaven Rank, and the main reason he was suppressed was because he didn't have Extraordinary Power. He is already at the 2nd Rank of the Heaven Rank, yet Layford is still so confident.
'Did he forget about the five Heaven Rank powerhouses being killed? 'The elemental explosion in the laboratory turned into a pillar of light that soared several kilometers into the sky, could it be that that guy didn't notice it?'
As these thoughts flashed in his mind, Lin Yun's body emitted the radiance of flames and a layer of crimson light covered the surface of his body.
This was the result of Fire Elemental Incarnation reaching its pinnacle. He could no longer maintain his tall Elemental Incarnation, but he could also transform into a several-dozen-meter-tall Elemental Giant.
As the flames on Lin Yun's body spread, the surrounding black fog seemed to be blown away by the wind and rapidly spread outwards. It only took a second for the black fog to be forced back over two hundred meters.
The whispers became more and more chaotic, as if more and more people were whispering. The Devil's Whispers even turned into ripples that kept attacking Lin Yun's Fusion Shield.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun's Fusion Shield was a lot more powerful than an ordinary Heaven Mage's Fusion Shield. In addition to the Mana Shield supported by endless mana, there was also the Four Element Shield, as well as the Law Runic Shield formed from perfect law runes.
After these three shields fused together, along with Lin Yun's Extraordinary Power that far surpassed mages of the same rank, Layford's Devil's Whispers simply couldn't penetrate it. Those Devil's Whispers were like ordinary sounds blocked by a Silence Barrier, they were completely useless.
Countless runes surged in Lin Yun's eyes as he tried to find Layford's traces within the black fog. That guy was a bit smarter this time, he knew his advantages and disadvantages and hid his body first.
After a few seconds, only the whispers that could make an Archmage go crazy could be heard. As for the traces Lin Yun caught, they kept changing. It would take a few seconds before he could catch Layford's traces, but Shawn couldn't wait.
A crack appeared on Shawn's forehead and an Evil Eye emitting a strange aura appeared. In an instant, Shawn left Lin Yun's Fusion Shield and disappeared within the black fog.
As for the ripples in the air, they automatically slid away when they touched Shawn, as if they were useless against him.
Soon, a light filled with evil aura cut through the black fog and the surrounding black fog seemed to be illuminated by holy light. It rapidly dissipated and Layford's silhouette appeared at the end of the pillar of light.
Layford's body was hit by the light of the Evil Eye and his complexion instantly turned pale. The whispers in the surroundings instantly disappeared. A powerful curse spell was forcibly interrupted and even his soul was affected by the Evil Eye's radiance. The backlash of a curse wasn't that easy to bear.
The backlash of ordinary elemental spells wasn't a problem for Heaven Mages, their mana wouldn't be shaken, but the backlash of a curse spell, especially one that used Devil's Whispers, wasn't that easy to bear.
Shawn took advantage of Layford's interruption to charge towards Layford's body. His fist-sized body was covered in a layer of strange aura and his small claws carried a kind of soul-tearing power.
Suddenly, Lin Yun frowned and said with an indisputable tone, "Lord Shawn, come back."
With one sentence, Shawn immediately turned around and flew back.
With a single sentence, Lord Shaun immediately turned around and flew back. Although Lord Shaun was usually very arrogant, he could tell the difference between good and bad.
Sure enough, just as Shawn returned, the surrounding black fog seemed to have been softly brushed by a huge beast. In an instant, all the black fog dissipated and a powerhouse covered in a terrifying aura descended from the sky.
The expert's body was shrouded in a layer of terrifying extraordinary power. He was stepping on a three-meter-wide crimson disc, which was burning with a layer of orange flames. On the surface of the disc, there were dense and strange patterns, which carried the violent power of flames.
Lin Yun could see with a glance that that disk wasn't a Magic Tool, but rather a pure flame that had been continuously compressed and forcibly condensed according to the structure of an array. As long as it was spread out, it could instantly form a powerful fire array.
The power of a 4th Rank Heaven powerhouse didn't seem to be that of an ordinary 4th Rank Heaven powerhouse. He was at least a formidable Artisan, and an Artisan proficient in arrays.
The newcomer had a dignified expression and was wearing a black robe with the same magic imprint as Zeith's. This guy was clearly one of the vice deans of the Starry Sky College.
The Starry Sky College was incomparably huge, and it wasn't limited to just Neverwinter City. Their tentacles extended to almost the entire Odin Kingdom. The vice deans were actually managers in charge of certain matters. In the Merlin Family, their status was similar to that of a High Steward. They were true managers. After all, the three deans didn't care about miscellaneous matters.
