The Griffin Rider didn't appear, but a Vice Dean came instead. Lin Yun was a bit surprised, because he had already sensed that at least three powerhouses capable of getting rid of him had gone to his alchemy laboratory.
A Vice Dean definitely wouldn't be able to get rid of Layford.
That Vice Dean landed on the ground and the crimson disk under his feet turned into flames before disappearing. In the distance, the pale Layford looked as if he had seen his savior and his eyes were shimmering.
"Sir Grimm, it's great to be able to see you alive, I thought I would never see you again …" Layford's voice was choked with emotion.
Layford's words were choked with emotion. He had truly been scared earlier. Lin Yun's body had leaked the aura of a Heaven Rank powerhouse, but he hadn't been afraid. But a strange Ghost Wolf had caught him off guard and interrupted his curse. That strange power even caused the curse to rebound and he could only watch as the other side rushed over.
Especially the soul tearing power of Sir Shawn's claws, it truly scared Layford.
He originally thought he was going to die, but he hadn't expected Grimm to come at such a crucial time.
"Sir Layford, what's going on?"
Grimm had an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face and his words carried a hint of an aria used to chant certain incantations.
Layford instantly calmed down and hatefully glared at Lin Yun.
'Damned Mafa Merlin, I hadn't expected Sir Grimm to come. He is the best friend of our Jackson Family, as well as my good friend. I even taught him a few Devil's Whispering Curses.
'Now that Sir Grimm is here, it's a fact that Mafa Merlin came to rob me of my transcription. When the time comes, I'll force him to take out his transcription and make him spit out all the wealth in his mouth. Right, the wealth of the Raging Flame Plane …'
As he thought about it, Layford became more confident and his tone carried a wisp of resentment as he pointed at Lin Yun.
"Sir Grimm, it's fortunate that you came. That Mafa Merlin is too hateful, he actually attacked my alchemy laboratory and wanted to steal the results of my transcription. My family's warriors died in front of me, all of them were killed by Mafa Merlin …"
After saying that, Layford was too sad to say anything.
Lin Yun was a little speechless. This guy was really a classic example of a thief crying thief. He was really shameless to the extreme …
"Sir Grimm, why don't you give it a try? You only need to cast Temporal Recall to see it. My alchemy laboratory has already been destroyed. Someone wanted to snatch the results of my transcription. I chased that repulsive guy here …"
Before Lin Yun could finish, Grimm interrupted Lin Yun with a serious expression.
"H.e. Mafa Merlin, I will clearly investigate the truth, I don't need you to teach me!"
That sentence made Lin Yun choke. He then looked at Layford standing next to Grimm and seemed to understand something, so he remained silent.
Grimm's tone was still solemn, but he didn't pay attention to Lin Yun and instead asked Layford.
"Sir Layford, you said that he came to snatch the results of your transcription, but you can't speak carelessly. Do you have any proof?"
Layford gnashed his teeth and acted like a victim as he pointed at Lin Yun.
"He didn't want to snatch it, he used a despicable method to steal the results of my transcription before I discovered him. My closest friend and brother died in his hands, he died in front of my door and his aura still hasn't scattered.
"It's in his hands, a total of 1500, no, 1600 Truth Runes' mysteries are all in his hands. As long as he hands over his Spatial Ring, I can definitely find it!"
Grimm's expression was somewhat unsightly. He carefully sensed that a Heaven Rank powerhouse had fallen and his aura still hadn't dissipated. He no longer asked questions and instead turned to look at Lin Yun with a solemn expression.
"Mafa Merlin, what else do you have to say? A Heaven Rank powerhouse fell here and Sir Layford's laboratory was destroyed by flames. There is no one else here.
"Hand over your Spatial Ring. If I don't find what Sir Layford is talking about, I'll naturally give you justice. But if I find what Sir Layford is talking about, you will be punished by our Starry Sky College!"
Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly smiled. If he still wasn't sure that this Deputy Dean was in cahoots with Layford, then there would be a problem with his intelligence.
How could anyone believe Layford's words about transcribing the mysteries of 1,600 truth runes?
Even if he were to study the Whisper Crystal for 1,000 years, he still wouldn't be able to figure out the mysteries of the truth runes.
Studying the truth runes directly on the Whisper Crystal, according to the progress of the others, no one in the Starry Sky College had been able to research more than 1500 truth runes!
Because that was the Whisper Crystal's own limitation. 108,000 Truth Runes … That evil Whisper Crystal would at most allow one person to research a bit over a thousand truth runes.
The Starry Sky College's accumulation of truth runes wasn't the understanding of the truth runes themselves, but rather the mysteries of alchemy contained within the truth runes. These mysteries and truth runes couldn't be equated.
Even if everyone didn't have a clear understanding of Layford's level, they had a rough idea. That guy said that he could research 1600 Truth Runes. Anyone with a bit of intelligence wouldn't believe it. Yet this Deputy Dean Grimm unhesitantly believed it and didn't even let him speak. What else could be said?
This matter was so big that as long as anyone was still alive, they would be able to sense the pillar of light. They would be able to see it from a few dozen kilometers away. 'Is that guy an idiot?'
"This idiot can comprehend 1,600 truth runes? What kind of joke is this? Shawn, look, there are countless Barbarian Oxskin flying in the sky. Aiya, I can't see, is the light covered by the Barbarian Oxskin … "
Enderfa transformed into three hands and covered the eyes of the three faces, and the three faces let out a strange shout.
Shawn bared his fangs and sneered.
"In so many years, this is the first time I've seen such a shameless braggart. Look at that guy, he looks like a stupid mouse that found its boss. He actually thinks that he is smarter than a Dragon. Heavens, I feel like my intelligence has suffered a fatal blow. Anderfa, I'm going to die from stupidity …"
Enderfa and Shawn echoed each other's mockery, angering Grimm to the point that his face turned red. Hearing the result of the copying of the truth runes' mysteries, Grimm's eyes turned a bit red.
'That Andalusia country bumpkin actually comprehended 1600 Truth Runes? What a joke.
'That idiot Layford is really stupid, he actually didn't succeed in snatching it. But no one paid attention to this place. No one would say anything if Mafa Merlin came to snatch Layford's fruits of labor.
'As long as I get my hands on the transcription of 1600 Truth Runes, I'll be able to make a copy. I don't know when I'll be able to see the complete version if I hand so many things over to the school. Maybe I'll only be able to see the transcription of some Truth Runes' mysteries through contribution points like before.
'At most, I'll be able to see the transcription of a few dozen Truth Runes' mysteries, but those have been researched by many people. If that Mafa Merlin really researched so much, there must be a lot of new things in there. As long as I grasp these new things, I'll be able to turn them into results as fast as possible.
'When the time comes, I'll be able to obtain a steady stream of wealth and even more resources. I'll be able to have anything I need. Moreover, I helped Layford greatly this time. How could the Jackson Family not thank me?'
At first, Grimm naturally stood next to Layford. After all, they already had a good relationship. Moreover, the Jackson Family behind Layford could be considered pretty good in the Odin Kingdom. The other one was an Artisan who came to the Odin Kingdom by himself. Was there even a need to think about who to choose?
Now that things had developed like this, Grimm suddenly had a new idea.
But before Grimm could say anything, Layford already appeared behind Lin Yun and took out his magic staff once again with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Sir Grimm, this Mafa Merlin is very crafty and very powerful. We can't let him escape. If we let him escape, he will definitely have the opportunity to take the fruits of my research and hand it over to the Starry Sky College!
"He definitely won't admit defeat. We'll subdue him first and then take his Spatial Ring. Naturally, if he tenaciously resists and carelessly dies, that would be the result of defying the Starry Sky College."
Since Layford was ready to make a move, Grimm no longer hesitated. After thinking for a bit, he decided to just get rid of him. In any case, he could just bite the bullet and make a copy of the research and hand it over to the Starry Sky College. No one would say anything. Moreover, no one would make things difficult for them for an Artisan of the Andalusia Kingdom.
As he thought of this, Grimm immediately released his own mana and flames started burning around him. The orange flames rapidly spread and the aura of Extraordinary Power was like a wave pressuring Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over your Spatial Ring or don't blame me for personally making a move. In order to uphold the Starry Sky College's rules, you have to seal your mana for investigation. If I personally make a move, you won't be able to resist the consequences!"
Grimm said while releasing his mana. His aura rapidly rose to the peak of the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm, he was only a step away from the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm.
The huge Extraordinary Power pressured Lin Yun's body and made Lin Yun frown. Layford, who was behind Lin Yun, took the initiative to make a move.
A ten-meter-big Hand of Darkness ruthlessly swatted towards Lin Yun's back. Layford had learned his lesson and knew that the Darkness Curse wouldn't have any effect on Lin Yun, so he directly released a darkness spell.
But Lin Yun didn't even glance at it, he only stared at Grimm. Compared to Grimm's threat, Layford was only a trivial matter. Even his spells couldn't shake Lin Yun's Fusion Shield.
The Hand of Darkness ruthlessly swatted Lin Yun's Fusion Shield. Mana ripples spread on the surface of the shield, but the shield remained intact. It resisted that spell containing Extraordinary Power as easily as resisting a 1st Tier Spell.
But at this time, Grimm, who was standing within the sea of orange flames, suddenly made a move. Thick golden spears burning with orange flames flew out of the sea of flames like rain and revolved towards Lin Yun.
But at this time, Grimm, who was standing within the sea of flames, suddenly made a move. Thick golden spears burning with orange flames flew out of the sea of flames like rain and revolved as they attacked Lin Yun.
The terrifying pressure and the power of the flames seemed to push away the surrounding air in an instant, only the terrifying heat of the distorted space remained.
The golden spear and the flaming hand instantly submerged Lin Yun and the terrifying power instantly ignited everything within several hundred meters. The scorching power instantly burned everything within five hundred meters to ashes. Layford had no choice but to retreat a certain distance from that power.
The flaming hands slowly rose from the ground, leaving behind two scorched palm prints. Just the flames remaining on the ground seemed to be able to ignite everything.
Grimm proudly smiled when he didn't see Lin Yun's silhouette. As for Layford, he even laughed heartily.
"Mafa Merlin, you fool! You dared to set yourself against our Jackson Family, you dared to set yourself against me, this is your end. Dying like this is letting you off too lightly. I won't be polite with the treasures you left behind …"
Layford laughed heartily as he walked towards the burnt hole in the distance. But he suddenly stopped and raised his head. He didn't know when Lin Yun had appeared in the air.
Lin Yun's body was covered in a layer of crimson light, and there was a constantly changing crimson rune on his forehead. Every part of his body was covered in crimson golden tattoos, and a terrifying power spread out, as if a Flame King had descended.
Lin Yun was holding the Draconic Staff emitting a purple radiance in his right hand and the Book of Death in his left hand. Behind him was a hundred-meter-tall Purple Dragon shadow that was holding a thirty-meter-wide disk shadow. Countless law runes were floating on the surface of the disk.
And at the center of the disk, in addition to representing the four elements forming a circle, there was also a silver light flickering in the center.
The Book of Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel floated on either side of Lin Yun. A bronze scales shadow appeared under Lin Yun's feet. The Book of Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel floated onto the two trays of the scales and an even more frightening change appeared.
A hundred-meter-tall huge gate appeared first. The ancient gate was curled up by the power of flames and gales. As the gate slowly opened, it seemed as if two worlds were floating within, a pure world of flames and a pure world of gales.
And after that gate appeared, an unimaginable power seemed to appear out of nowhere. That power poured into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, but it didn't cause it to explode. Instead, a huge wheel with a diameter of over a hundred meters formed behind the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and the berserk elements of earth, fire, water, and wind were roaming within.
Shawn transformed into his Ghost Wolf form and turned into a ten-meter-long Ghost Wolf. The evil eye on his forehead slowly opened and bared its fangs as it looked at Grimm.
"Merlin, get rid of these two idiots. I want to study the difference between the souls of Heaven Rank powerhouses and ordinary mages. This is the best material. I won't charge you for this, and since I helped you manage the Demiplane, these two idiots' souls will be the reward!"
The corner of Shawn's mouth was dripping with saliva, and his eyes were red as he kept poking at Lin Yun to get rid of these two.
Just as Layford was about to say something, the evil eye on Shawn's forehead spouted a pillar of light that submerged Layford. In an instant, it was as if Layford had been hit by a Medusa's Petrification. His body stiffened as he stood there, fear visible in his eyes. He even wanted to use mana to cast, but he discovered that his mana seemed to have gone out of control. It was completely different from what he had expected.
At this time, Grimm also became serious. He floated in the air and a huge flaming disk appeared under his feet before transforming into a hundred-meter-wide flaming space. Countless fire spells spurted out like a storm and a hundred-meter-thick flaming pillar flew towards Lin Yun.
At the same time, the Book of Mantras transformed into a Windfire Gate. Boundless destructive flames and gales spurted out and transformed into a flood that attacked.
The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel also spurted out an elemental storm covering several hundred meters. The pure berserk destructive power was like a horizontal tornado attacking.
The power of the Book of Mantras and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel converged together and formed a power that was a bit stronger than that of a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage. The destructive effect it brought was definitely comparable to that of a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage.
With the support of the Equilibrium Law, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could display the same level of power as the Book of Mantras.
But that terrifying power kept being pushed back by Grimm's flames. It couldn't be resisted by relying on power alone and was instead suppressed by the other side.
The power of these flames suppressed Syudos and Anderfa. When they reached within a hundred meters of Lin Yun, the flames on the periphery of the flood of flames seemed to have sensed something and rolled to the side.
Those terrifying elemental flames were only elemental flames. Lin Yun's Flame Spirit King Incarnation was completely immune to the power of these elemental flames, even if they were summoned by a Peak 4th Rank Heaven powerhouse.
But Lin Yun couldn't resist Grimm's attacks. After all, Grimm's rank was higher than his and his comprehension of the Fire Law was also higher. Being able to resist a portion of the fire damage was already pretty good.
