Seeing this scene, Lin Yun couldn't bear to look at it and retreated a bit, apparently trying to avoid the danger. And Reeves, who had been paying attention to Lin Yun 'movements, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He calmed down a bit.
'Sh * t, is Mafa Merlin telling the truth?'
Just as this thought appeared in Reeves' mind, Derton suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. That wisp of gray fog was a few dozen times bigger than the one Lin Yun had drawn. When it touched Derton's left hand, Derton felt the mana around his left hand go out of control. That wisp of gray fog was like a fierce Heaven Rank Magic Beast slaughtering its way into a flock of sheep.
Whether it was his Extraordinary Power or mana, they were all out of control. Even his left hand had already lost feeling. The originally rosy left hand rapidly turned ashen. His life power dissipated and his left hand was completely contaminated.
Then, this spread was like a plague, spreading from Derton's left hand to his right arm.
Derton's face was pale, and the mana fluctuations all over his body were chaotic. His soul fluctuations were also somewhat chaotic, and the power of holy light fluctuated. In less than three seconds, Derton gritted his teeth, and a crescent-shaped blade of light appeared in front of him, ruthlessly chopping off his left arm.
His left arm left his body and instantly turned gray, like a lifelike gray stone carving. Then, it turned into ashes and dissipated. A gray fog once again flowed into the towering wall of fog that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Even if the infected area only reached his left wrist, Derton still chopped off his left arm. But even so, a wisp of gray fog still invaded Derton's body.
After a few seconds, Derton understood that he would definitely die if this continued. Once he lost control of his mana, no one would be able to save him.
Derton immediately took out his True Spirit Magic Tool and holy light wrapped around him. The rich holy light washed over Derton's body and used the huge amount of mana to drive that wisp of gray fog to the wound on his left shoulder. He then used the connection between himself and the True Spirit Magic Tool to drive that wisp of gray fog into the True Spirit Magic Tool.
Once that wisp of gray mist entered the True Spirit Magic Tool, Delton unhesitantly threw it to the side.
The Magic Tool turned into a sphere of light that floated in the air. After five seconds, the sphere of light dissipated, leaving only a pile of ashes in the air. A peak True Spirit Magic Tool, one that Delton had crafted for himself, one that had followed him for over a millennium, had been destroyed.
Derton stood there with a twisted expression. The wound on his left shoulder was covered in a layer of Holy Light, and not a single drop of blood spilled out. After stabilizing his mana, a Holy Light Mage beside Derton hurriedly raised his staff and chanted.
The three Heaven Rank Holy Light Mages simultaneously chanted an incantation. After the three-minute incantation, a large amount of holy light surged out of the wound on Derton's left arm and rapidly formed the shape of an arm. Then, the blood vessels, muscles, and bones within the light rapidly regenerated.
Extraordinary Holy Light Spell – Limb Rebirth. This spell didn't have a good effect on Heaven Rank powerhouses. The newly regrown limbs weren't that easy to use, and it would take a very long time for them to adapt.
Only a more powerful Limb Reconstruction could make a Heaven Mage regrow limbs that were no different from before, and the regeneration would only be limited to four limbs.
The three Holy Light Mages simultaneously chanted and combined to release an enhanced Limb Rebirth. Although the effect wasn't as good as Limb Reconstruction, it wasn't too far off.
As the new arm grew out, Derton gloomily looked at Lin Yun, the flames in his eyes seemingly about to burn Lin Yun to ashes.
"Mafa Merlin!"
Lin Yun shrugged, somewhat speechless.
"Sir Derton, I reminded you before that I'm an alchemist, so I wanted to research it. But I suffered a bit, so I warned you not to touch it. But I still haven't finished speaking. This isn't my fault, you don't believe me, so what can I do?"
Lin Yun was a bit speechless. He had clearly done it out of good intentions, but Derton didn't believe him.
Dai Nuosong and Reeves were at a loss, but it was indeed the case. When Lin Yun came in contact with the dense fog, his mana seemed to have been chaotic for a few seconds, but no one paid attention to it.
Lin Yun 'reminder was indeed half a sentence before Derton had already rushed over. Who could be blamed?
Derton gnashed his teeth and roared, not knowing what to say. The Holy Light Alliance's people were indeed mad dogs, but every time they looked for trouble, the Holy Light Alliance would always find a perfect reason, or at least a reason that they believed in.
But now, the other side didn't care about their previous bad relationship and kindly reminded him. What could he do if he didn't believe him? No matter how shameless he was, he couldn't turn white into black in front of so many people. This wasn't the territory of the Holy Light Alliance.
Taking the initiative to provoke internal strife between the four major forces wasn't a wise choice. Who knew what good things were up ahead? If he was driven out by the other three, wouldn't he have suffered in vain?
Derton ground his teeth until they almost shattered, but he endured and didn't say anything. 'Can't you see that Reeves and Dai Nuosong are already a bit dissatisfied?'
Dai Nuosong stood up to act as a mediator and waved his hand, pointing at the mountain range ahead.
"There will be even greater dangers if we keep moving forward. We had better be careful, but there also seems to be a lot of special things there."
Since there were benefits ahead, Derton could only endure and keep moving forward.
Reeves looked at Lin Yun with a smile that wasn't a smile, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
'Although Derton is like a mad dog, he isn't weak at all. He only came in contact with that gray fog and had to cut off his own arm. He also had to use a peak True Spirit Magic Tool to get out of danger.
'As for Mafa Merlin, his mana was only unstable for a few seconds. Doesn't this mean that Mafa Merlin is even stronger than Derton? Truly a terrifying guy. If not for that, I might not have noticed that Mafa Merlin might be the strongest person here.
'If I fought Derton, I might be a bit stronger than him, but the one who would win in the end would be Derton. He now has the Radiant Heart and his fighting strength is definitely comparable to a peak 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse, not much different from a 6th Rank Heaven powerhouse.
'Could it be that Mafa Merlin already has the strength of a 6th Rank Heaven powerhouse?
'Forget it, in any case, our Tower of Storm doesn't have any conflicts with the Gilded Rose, we even have some cooperation. We also don't have any conflicts with Mafa Merlin. We only came for benefits this time, there is no need to offend Mafa Merlin.
The group of people continued to move forward, passing through the endless barren plains before them. Soon, they entered the mountain range that they had seen before.
The moment the group entered the mountain range, the desolate plain behind them thoroughly disappeared and was replaced by a boundless mountain range. Chaotic and berserk mana appeared in the air, and a black aura spread out like a drop of sticky ink in water.
A sharp claw over fifty meters long stretched out from the black aura. The black aura burst out and a shadow instantly appeared above everyone's heads.
That fifty-meter-long claw fiercely swatted at everyone.
Suddenly, all kinds of magic power and light appeared, and everyone used their own means to escape.
That fifty-meter-long claw swatted at the small hill they were on and directly smashed it into countless fragments. The originally several-dozen-meter-tall hill disappeared, only leaving behind a fifty-meter-wide, twenty-meter-deep claw mark.
Countless fragments shot out in all directions like cannonballs. Dust billowed, enveloping a distance of over a thousand metres. However, a furious roar rang out and the winds howled. In an instant, all the dust and fragments were reduced to ashes. Then, a behemoth, at least 500 metres tall, emerged from the dust.
Its body looked like black rock, but it also looked like black metal. It had four thick arms and three sharp claws on its palms. Its upper body was barely humanoid, but its lower body was that of four thick black pythons. The pythons raised their heads and stared at everyone with cold, bloody eyes. Their tongues were like whips as they lashed out in the air, making a series of crackling sounds every time they lashed out.
The most surprising thing was the head of this huge monster. There were four faces on the head, but each face was blank. It was as if his face had been forcibly cut off by some kind of power. Just looking at the blank face made one involuntarily feel a kind of fear.
The monster roared as it looked at everyone. The python's lower body swayed slightly and a several-hundred-meter-tall hill completely disappeared. A single claw seemed to have supported the hill for a bit, but the hill had been reduced by half.
Everyone floated in the air, looking at that huge monster that could leap over the hill as if it was flat ground, their expressions somewhat unsightly.
"Damn, what kind of monster is that? Sir Dai Nuosong, what in the world is that monster? "
Reeves looked at the pursuing monster in shock. The monster's aura was definitely level 46. Moreover, it didn't even need to think to know that this monster was definitely a lot stronger than ordinary level 46 magic beasts.
Dai Nuosong was also somewhat frightened. The Snake-Tailed Beast beside him had already reverted to its original form. Compared to this monster, its hundred-meter-tall body was simply a child destined to be hung up and beaten.
"How would I know what this monster is? From the information I obtained, there are many magic beasts here, and every one of them is very powerful. The magic beast that our Chester Family's ancestor formed a contract with back then only said that the power of Gods appeared here, and the magic beasts here went berserk. Then, a frenzied battle and slaughter started.
When I came in just now, I already felt that something was wrong. There was not a single living creature in that barren plain, not even a trace. Something must have changed … "
Dai Nuosong was somewhat scared. The Chester Family was specialized in summoning and nurturing magic beasts. No one understood magic beasts better than them. How frightening was that level 46 monster? Just from the aura, Dai Nuosong knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to resist that huge monster.
Lin Yun frowned as he floated in the air. He took out his Draconic Staff, Book of Mantras, Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and the Book of Death. That monster had clearly been infected by God's power and had lost its face. It was equivalent to losing everything and was only a puppet-like existence.
But having no soul and no wisdom didn't mean that this monster was easy to provoke. Anything related to God's power was troublesome.
Everyone was shocked, but that monster didn't stop. Its huge body flipped over mountain peaks as if it was destroying the terrain. Mountain peaks were smashed to pieces by that monster. That six-hundred-meter-long python's lower body was raising its head, and the speed at which its snakehead was whipping the air was getting faster and faster.
The Holy Light Alliance's people took the lead and a few holy light mages surrounded Derton's body, forming a radiant array. The group of people chanted incantations and released spells.
This was what the Holy Light Alliance was most proficient in. The same holy light spell would be cast together, and the more people there were, the more powerful it would be. With Derton as the center and eight holy light mages assisting him, the power of the spells released could absolutely compare to a 6th Rank Heaven Mage.
A hurried chant echoed in the air and a large amount of holy light sprinkled down from the sky. The countless holy lights converged into a river of light that rushed towards that huge monster.
They were separated by over two kilometers, which could be considered a relatively safe distance. At least based on that monster's size and its seemingly slow mountain-climbing speed, it would take at least three to four seconds to cross two kilometers. That amount of time was enough to deal with it.
The hundred-meter-wide river of light attacked the monster's body. The monster raised its four arms like a shield and firmly resisted that river of light. The passionate chant sounded like a chorus of several thousand people, and the power of the holy light kept growing stronger and stronger.
However, all of a sudden, the monster's four arms glowed with a metallic luster and the brilliance flowed like ripples. In just one or two seconds, the monster's four arms blasted out simultaneously and the river of light released by the Sacred Light Alliance was shattered into pieces.
The monster's four lower limbs also moved at the same time. The two lower limbs at the front coiled around two mountain peaks while the two lower limbs at the back arched.
In a series of rumbling thunders, the lower limbs of the two pythons in front of the monster pulled its body, while the lower limbs of the two pythons in the back abruptly exerted force. The huge body of the monster crashed into the radiant magic formation of the Sacred Light Alliance like a rampaging mountain.
Facing the monster's sudden burst of power, Derton's expression greatly changed. His body blossomed with holy light and he instantly disappeared. The other mages of the Holy Light Alliance also transformed into streaks of light to dodge.
However, the monster's sudden burst of speed was too fast. The distance of more than 2,000 meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the four 50-meter-long claws were like four huge walls that slammed down from four directions.
The two unlucky Holy Light mages didn't escape at all and crashed into the monster's claws instead.
After falling out of the state of Holy Light, the two Mages completely lost their chance to escape. A crack suddenly opened in the center of the monster's palms, and a mouth more than 20 meters wide opened in the center of the monster's claws. Dense teeth and a thick tongue stained with blood could be seen. It was a sight that would strike fear into the hearts of anyone who saw it.
The mouth in the center of the monster's claws opened, and a stench spread. The two Holy Light mages were the first to bear the brunt of the stench. When they were hit by the stench, their faces instantly turned ashen as though they were poisoned. The holy light around their bodies also collapsed.
The fat tongue extended out of the mouth and coiled around the two Holy Light mages. Like frogs preying on their prey, the two mages were instantly swallowed. The opened mouth then closed, and only an inconspicuous gap could be vaguely seen.
Derton floated in the air, his eyes already emitting flames. The power of holy light converged into radiant flames, and the radiant radiance of the Radiant Heart seemed to be gathering the power of the entire world.
Derton's lungs were about to explode from anger, he was startled and angry. The others were also horrified, this monster was far more frightening than they had expected.
The claws were the claws of a beast, and the mouth was at the center of the claws, but the face was blank. Such a strange thing made everyone's scalp numb.
But before everyone could attack, the monster's body changed. Holy light power appeared on the surface of the monster's claws, and the bodies of the two struggling Holy Light mages appeared on the surface of the claws. It was as if the lower half of their bodies were attached to the monster's claws.
While struggling in pain, the bodies of the two Holy Light mages thoroughly merged with the surface of the monster's claws. Even their holy light power was thoroughly devoured by the monster. Two Holy Light Imprints condensed on the back of the claws, and the power of holy light shrouded the surface of the claws. As the monster waved its hands, Light Arrows rained down on everything within five kilometers.
9th Tier Holy Light Spell, Light Arrow Rain.
It was a large-scale offensive spell, but that spell was somewhat useless against powerhouses. It didn't have much effect and would only be used in large-scale battles.
Although it didn't cause any injuries, everyone's complexions turned green. After devouring the two Holy Light mages, the two claws could actually use the power of holy light and even cast holy light spells.
In just a few seconds, he was able to achieve such a feat …
Lin Yun instantly understood. Dai Nuosong had previously said that there had been countless magic beasts and lifeforms here, but now, not even a mouse could be found. Where did all those lifeforms go? Now, Lin Yun understood.
The monster before their eyes was the amalgamation of all the lifeforms that once lived in these ruins. As long as it devoured any lifeform, it would obtain that lifeform's power.
Clearly, that monster's strange characteristics were the characteristics of those strongest powerhouses. After fusing with two 2nd Rank Heaven Mages, the greatest result was that the monster's claws were covered with holy light power, that's all.
Before the fusion, every characteristic of that monster would have been at least at the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm.
