"I … I don't understand what you are talking about!"
As Lin Yun said Syudos' true name, the Flame Spirit's voice suddenly became flustered, and that fluster quickly turned into endless alarm and despair. "No … No, hell, what are you doing? Stop!"
Unfortunately, once the Blood Shackles started, there was no way to stop it …
Lin Yun softly cut his left wrist and a drop of blood fell on the floor. Then, a large amount of Nesser Runes came out of Lin Yun's mouth. It was deep and hoarse, sounding like an elegy from ancient times.
"No … Impossible, how could you know my true name!" The Flame Spirit's voice no longer contained its previous arrogance. At this time, the Flame Spirit had already given up on fighting the Ice Elementals. It was only barely maintaining a few defensive spells before letting all kinds of ice spells submerge it.
Because to the Flame Spirit, these Ice Elementals were no longer its biggest opponents.
Even if they submerged it, it would only be returning to the array seal. A thousand years or ten thousand years didn't make much of a difference to the nearly indestructible Flame Spirit. But if the Blood Binding succeeded, it would no longer have the opportunity to struggle free.
Just as the Blood Binding Incantation echoed, the Flame Spirit started frantically struggling.
An explosion echoed as Dylan's silhouette instantly disappeared. He turned into a ball of raging flames emitting blazing mana fluctuations. The few Ice Elementals in the surroundings were instantly evaporated by the terrifying heat and turned into a few clouds of white mist drifting in the air. It was followed by a roar as the raging flames suddenly burst out, turning the entire corridor into a sea of flames. Ice Elementals turned into mist one after another, and the entire corridor seemed to be flowing with lava. The raging flames were everywhere, filling the world with a terrifying temperature.
Facing the threat of the Blood Binding, the Flame Spirit burst out with all its power. The entire corridor was filled with raging fire elements, and it felt as if even the air itself was burning.
Unfortunately, the Blood Binding was already halfway done.
The drop of blood on the floor turned into strands of scarlet mist that formed complex magic patterns in the air. As Lin Yun chanted a large amount of Nesser Runes, these incomparably complex magic patterns already turned into blood-colored chains that wrapped around Syudos one after the other.
"How do I know your true name? It's very simple, I guessed … "
"…" Syudos, who had already transformed into a Flame Spirit, suddenly dimmed and almost fell from the sky.
'Guessed, guessed, guessed …'
Fortunately, Syudos had already transformed into a Flame Spirit, or he might have really spat blood. Dylan spent a few dozen years, the three-member council spent a few hundred years, and Rudolph spent over a millennium, but none of them had been able to find his true name. Now, someone had guessed it!
'Is there any justice?'
"This is impossible, this is impossible!" Syudos couldn't accept such a cruel reality. He frantically struggled and roared in the middle of the Frost Elementals and the Blood Binding Chains. But unfortunately, no matter how much he struggled or roared, it was all in vain. It was as if he had fallen into quicksand. The more he struggled and roared, the faster he would fall.
"I really guessed it." Lin Yun smiled and didn't say anything else. He only urged the Blood Binding Chains to bind Syudos tighter and tighter.
In fact, Lin Yun wasn't talking nonsense this time.
Syudos' true name had indeed been guessed by Lin Yun.
Syudos didn't dare to believe it because he didn't know that twenty thousand years later, Noscent's mana would gradually dry up. At that time, even the Upper Elemental Elemental Spirits wouldn't be able to survive. They would have no choice but to attach themselves to a master, hoping that the master could provide them with the mana they needed to survive.
Lin Yun clearly remembered that in Noscent's history, there were about five hundred known Upper Elemental Elemental Spirits, and about four hundred of them had appeared during that era.
The appearance of a large number of Upper Elemental Spirits gave mages an opportunity they hadn't even dared to think about before, and that was to conduct a systematic study of the Upper Elemental Spirits. Thus, the true names of the Upper Elemental Spirits were analyzed one after another. What characteristics, what power, what ability, what time … would correspond to the true names of the Upper Elemental Spirits. In the end, there was even a mage – Illustration of the Upper Elemental Spirits – that made capturing Elemental Spirits a simple task.
It just so happened that Lin Yun had once read – Illustration of the Upper Elemental Spirits.
Why did Lin Yun tell Syudos so much?
It was in order to probe Syudos.
Transforming into Dylan meant that this Flame Spirit had the ability to change its form. Since it had incinerated Rudolph's corpse, it meant that when this Flame Spirit burst out with power, it would definitely produce a shockingly high temperature. Like this, there weren't many Upper Rank Flame Spirits left, and it seemed that they had already reached an agreement with Dylan. Thus, even if they went out in the future, it would most likely be related to the Ash Tower.
At this time, there were only three true names left.
If Lin Yun still didn't know that this Flame Spirit was Syudos, then he would really need to find a block of tofu to kill himself.
It only took Lin Yun a few minutes to find out Syudos' true name.
Then, the real outcome would be decided.
In fact, Syudos had also noticed this. Although Syudos' power had increased after revealing his True Spirit and was infinitely close to the Archmage realm, he was besieged by endless Frost Elementals, as well as the bane of all Elemental Spirits, the Blood Shackles. Under the pincer attack, Syudos' power was gradually unable to support himself. Although he burst out with power a few times and evaporated several dozen Frost Elementals, the Blood Shackles on his body were getting tighter and tighter. Moreover, there were only two or three at the start, but now, there were more than twenty of them. The power of the Blood Shackles kept penetrating his body, and once that power thoroughly invaded his body, everything would be over.
This time, the prideful high-rank Flame Spirit finally spoke softly for the first time.
"You … What do you want?"
"Syudos, submitting is your only choice."
"Okay …" After a short silence, Syudos sighed in relief for the first time. "I can serve you, but it can't be for more than a hundred years!"
"No, no, no, Syudos, you still don't understand my meaning. I don't want an Upper Rank Flame Spirit that can betray me at any time. That doesn't mean much to me. If that was the case, I would be more than happy to scatter your True Spirit. That way, you would at least become a magic material. I feel that I could use this magic material to craft a first-rate Spiritual Magic Tool, and it might even become a True Spirit Magic Tool in the future …"
"Fuck, could it be that in your eyes, I'm only a first-rate Spiritual Magic Tool? Do you know what an Upper Rank Flame Spirit is? Do you know what an Upper Rank Flame Spirit means? "Syudos flew into a rage.
"A Spiritual Magic Tool wouldn't burn its master's corpse …"
Then, Lin Yun heard Syudos' disdainful snort. "What do you know …"
"Oh?"
Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the answer he was looking for had arrived.
But after Syudos' cold snort, he didn't say anything else. Lin Yun waited for a long time before finally losing his patience and rousing the Blood Shackles. In an instant, over a hundred Blood Shackles formed an airtight net that firmly bound Syudos. The power of the Blood Shackles poured into Syudos' body like a tide, continuously eroding it. The originally dazzling flames were already covered in a layer of scarlet.
"Two hundred years … No, no, no, three hundred years, and I swear, I won't betray you!"
This time, Syudos didn't dare to persist and raised the time limit to three hundred years.
"Too late." Unfortunately, Lin Yun had already let out a cold snort as the last Blood Shackles wrapped around him. Only the last incantation could be heard as all the Blood Shackles burst with scarlet light. Under the huge power, Syudos, who had been spreading like a sea of flames, was instantly compressed into a small ball before being firmly bound by the Blood Shackles.
"No!"
Syudos only had time to let out a despairing scream before turning into a ball of flames and being pulled into Lin Yun 'body by the Blood Shackles.
Just as Syudos was pulled into his body, Lin Yun 'five Magic Arrays frantically revolved. Several tens of thousands of runes formed an unbreakable cage that firmly locked Syudos in the center of the five Magic Arrays.
'Sure enough, it's an Upper Rank Flame Spirit …' After making sure that Syudos could no longer struggle, Lin Yun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It looked like Lin Yun was in control of the previous confrontation, but only Lin Yun himself knew how dangerous it was.
It could be said that from the moment Lin Yun decided to use the Blood Shackles, Lin Yun had been walking on the edge of a knife.
Even when the Blood Shackles successfully captured Syudos, Lin Yun still hadn't escaped from danger. Fortunately, Lin Yun had the Magic Arrays and several tens of thousands of runes simultaneously activated, forming a cage that was enough to bind Syudos. Otherwise, if Syudos burst out, Lin Yun might have followed in Rudolph's footsteps and turned into another pile of ashes.
