After all, he was an existence that could defeat an Archmage when he was a 9th Rank Great Mage.
Now that he had stepped into the High Mage realm, his strength had already reached an unfathomable level. 'Ross Merlin wants to extort such a monster? Are you tired of living?'
Unfortunately …
Ross Merlin didn't know about William Merlin's thoughts.
"It was originally just a small matter. Our younger cousin isn't here, so it doesn't matter. William, you can help me pass on the message …" Ross Merlin said with a smile before his expression sank. "But I really didn't expect that you would become a lot bolder after going to Thousand Sails City. Not only did you shelter a Dark Flame Beastman, you even dared to let him attack my people. Don't you know what kind of relationship I have with Harvey?"
"Cousin Ross …" Hearing William Merlin's words, the young mage hiding behind him suddenly shivered. "William has always been unconvinced of you. Just now, when you allowed that Dark Flame Beastman to attack me, he said that Ross was nothing and that he didn't care about him at all!"
"Haha, William, it looks like you have matured a lot in Thousand Sails City …" Ross Merlin didn't turn around, but his gaze towards William Merlin was even colder than before.
"Alright, Ross, you don't need to talk so much nonsense. You should know better than me whether I said that or not. Ross, I'll advise you, you are looking for the wrong person if you try to make a move on Cousin Mafa …" William Merlin didn't plan on explaining.
Ross Merlin's goal was clear. He had sent people to cause trouble, so he decided to personally cause a conflict. As long as he had the upper hand in this conflict, he would naturally be able to force his younger cousin to take out a batch of alchemy equipment.
It was a good idea, but unfortunately, he was looking for the wrong person.
"Haha, then I can only make a move. I want to see how much progress you, William Merlin, have made after going to Thousand Sails City for half a year. Is it really as Harvey said, that you have the qualifications to look down on me …?"
After saying this, Ross Merlin didn't give William Merlin any time and directly roused his Magic Conducting Rune. Under the full operation of the Endless Spring, a huge amount of mana started flooding Ross Merlin's body.
At the same time, a hand drew a strange rune in the air …
Just as the rune was completed, a flame rose from under William Merlin's feet. This was the 5th Tier Spell, Fire Dragon, which directly transformed flames into Dragon Breath. Although it wasn't as frightening as a true Dragon Breath, it already had some of the characteristics of a Dragon Breath: high temperature, highly toxic, and even steel would melt in an instant.
Normally, the Fire Dragon was already a 5th Tier Spell.
Even if Ross Merlin was a High Mage, he couldn't complete it so quickly. From writing the rune to casting the Fire Dragon, it only took a second. It was no different from an instant cast.
Speaking of this, Lin Yun had to mention the Endless Spring.
As the strongest Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family, the power of the Endless Spring wasn't something other Magic Conducting Runes could compare to. It could be said to be one of the best Magic Conducting Runes in the entire Andalusia Kingdom.
First of all, its mana recovery speed could be said to be frightening. Although it couldn't be said to be truly endless, it would be very difficult to exhaust the mana of a mage with the Endless Spring.
Moreover, after the nine Endless Springs fused into one, they would have a special spell slot. This spell slot could store a spell that didn't exceed its own rank, and when needed, it would only need a rune to activate it to complete the spell.
For example, this Fire Dragon.
What was even more frightening was that this Fire Dragon had been nurtured by the Endless Spring, and its power wasn't something an ordinary Fire Dragon could compare to. Just as this flame rose up, William Merlin felt a kind of destructive aura. It was already comparable to a real Dragon Breath.
'Sh * t …' At this moment, William Merlin thought of how frightening the Endless Spring was.
But William Merlin hadn't expected that Ross would use his most powerful trump card for the first time. This wasn't as simple as teaching him a lesson. If this Fire Dragon fell on him, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
Unfortunately, there was no time for William Merlin to think about it.
He had to neutralize this Fire Dragon. Otherwise, if the power comparable to a Dragon Breath fell on him, he would definitely die.
Thinking of this, William Merlin couldn't care less and directly cast a Runic Shield.
Normally, using a Runic Shield at this time was very stupid.
After Ross Merlin cast that Fire Dragon, there would inevitably be a follow-up spell, but he would have already lost his precious Runic Shield at that time. Two control spells would be enough to put him at a disadvantage.
But he didn't have time to think about it.
William cast a Runic Shield, and only a loud "rumble" could be heard as the Fire Dragon Spell collided with the Runic Shield. In an instant, flames burst out, and the Runic Shield's radiance flickered twice before being broken by the Fire Dragon Spell, which was comparable to a Dragon Breath.
'So powerful …' William Merlin was secretly startled, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He took advantage of the precious time bought by the Runic Shield to cast Fire Elemental Incarnation. He then used Flame Flash and instantly appeared behind Ross.
"William, you are still so naive …" But what awaited William Merlin was a large hand falling towards him.
A loud "bang" could be heard.
That large hand heavily fell, and William Merlin didn't even have time to react before feeling a huge power fall on his body. He felt as if he had been smashed by a huge rock. The world before his eyes spun and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Runic Shield, haha, William, it looks like your harvest in Thousand Sails City wasn't small. You actually became a High Mage …"
"The Endless Spring is truly formidable …" William Merlin coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a sheet of white paper, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.
Because William Merlin already understood.
It looked like he had lost this battle very quickly. Ross Merlin only used a Fire Dragon to settle the battle.
But in fact, William Merlin knew that the gap between him and Ross Merlin wasn't as big as he had imagined. The reason he had lost wasn't because of the Fire Dragon, but because of the Endless Spring.
He had lost to the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family.
If he had a Magic Conducting Rune as powerful as the Endless Spring, it would have been hard to say who would have won this battle.
As he thought of this, William Merlin was looking forward to it.
He was looking forward to the next battle between him and Ross Merlin.
Because Mafa Merlin had promised that once he stepped into the High Mage realm, he would teach him a Meditation Law Set that far surpassed the Crimson Heart. As for how powerful that Meditation Law Set was, Mafa Merlin didn't say. He only told him that if he wanted to, he could rely on that Meditation Law Set to recast his Magic Conducting Rune.
That's right, recast his Magic Conducting Rune.
Once this was done, he would stand on the same starting line as Ross Merlin. At that time, a Fire Dragon wouldn't be able to settle the battle.
At this time, William Merlin truly realized how much he had gained in Thousand Sails City. After all, Ross Merlin was an existence he had to look up to in the past. He had tried his best, but he had only been able to see his back. But now, only half a year had passed, and he could already see hope of defeating Ross Merlin.
Who would have dared to believe this before he went to Thousand Sails City?
What he needed now was a bit of time.
Time wasn't an issue for William Merlin. William Merlin had the patience to wait.
But …
William Merlin might be patient, but that didn't mean that everyone else was patient.
Just as William Merlin coughed up a mouthful of blood, someone else entered the courtyard.
"Cousin, aren't you admitting defeat a bit too fast …" Lin Yun held his Spiritual Magic Staff as he slowly walked into the messy courtyard.
"Haha …" William Merlin looked at Lin Yun, his heart completely relaxed, and a smile appeared on his pale face. "There's nothing I can do about it. A Fire Dragon nurtured by the Endless Spring isn't something I can resist right now. But it doesn't matter, as long as I have three more months, Ross might not be my opponent …"
"William, this kind of boasting isn't your style …" Ross Merlin looked at William Merlin with a mocking expression before looking at Lin Yun. "This should be our little cousin from Thousand Sails City, right? What, William, aren't you going to introduce us? "
That last sentence was actually directed at Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun didn't even spare him a glance and directly walked to William Merlin's side. He took out a bottle of Health Potion from his pocket and frowned as he asked, "How is it? Are your injuries serious?"
"It's alright …" William Merlin coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood before drinking the Health Potion. After a short moment, his pale face regained some color. At this time, William Merlin pointed at Ross Merlin in the distance. "This is Ross Merlin, one of the most outstanding geniuses of the Merlin Family. Together with Leon Merlin and Aube Merlin, they are regarded as the future of the Merlin Family …"
"How is he compared to Stan Watson?" Lin Yun curled his lips.
"Haha, what's there to compare to a dead person …" William Merlin couldn't help laughing when he heard this question.
William Merlin didn't even ask Lin Yun about the outcome of his trip.
Because William Merlin knew that Stan Watson was doomed if his cousin personally made a move.
