Thinking of the danger, William Merlin suddenly hesitated. He innocently looked at Lin Yun, hoping that he would take back his decision.
"I'll say it, you do it." But Lin Yun remained unmoved.
"Eh, okay …" William Merlin could only clench his teeth and agree.
"Now, it's time for you to use your Runic Shield. No, no, not to protect your body. You only need to complete the elemental arrangement of the Runic Shield. You don't need to completely release it. That way, you only need to form an ordinary Runic Shield to protect your mana whirlpool. Then, you can …"
"Cousin, will this really work …" William Merlin was trembling with fear. He looked at Lin Yun and almost cried.
Lin Yun acted as if he hadn't heard him.
He used an unquestionable voice to command William Merlin to start the Spell Backlash.
The elemental arrangement of the Runic Shield was already complete. The first Wind Blade was already complete, and the second Wind Blade was already complete.
In the end, William Merlin fiercely clenched his teeth.
In a split second, William Merlin seemed to hear a loud explosion and his whole body shook. William Merlin was so shocked that he almost dropped the magic staff in his hand.
But then …
William Merlin felt a surge of mana pouring into his body. The originally dried up mana whirlpool quickly revolved once again after being nourished by that mana. That familiar power once again returned to his body.
'Ross Merlin, you're going to lose …' Feeling the mana filling his body, William Merlin was full of confidence for the first time in this battle.
At this time, William Merlin was like a nouveau riche. He suddenly had a huge amount of wealth, but he didn't know how to squander it.
After completing the Spell Backlash, William Merlin used Counterspell.
In fact, at this time, Ross Merlin was desperately urging the Endless Spring, hoping to recover some mana. How could he have the time to cast spells?
Counterspells had three effects. The first was to interrupt casting, the second was to silence for a short time, and the third was to block the casting channel. There was no need to talk about interrupting casting, the short silence was easy to understand, but the third was to block the casting channel. This was the most important effect of Counterspells. Just like what William Merlin had just done, he had used a Flame Burst. This was a mage's favorite Counterspell opportunity, because once this Flame Burst was countered, the entire Fire Spell channel would be sealed. Especially for William Merlin, who was proficient in Fire Spells, this was the same as losing an arm. That was why William Merlin felt so uncomfortable just now.
But if William Merlin wasn't in a spell-casting state, then this Counterspell could only bring him a short silence effect.
Just like now …
William Merlin cast a counterspell, which was actually a one-second silence effect …
This could only be described as extravagant and wasteful.
But who told William Merlin to be a nouveau riche now …
After casting a spell, he didn't give Ross Merlin any chance to react. He took advantage of the one-second silence effect to directly cast a Flame Burst.
And it wasn't just one or two Flame Bursts …
Three Flame Bursts were cast in a row, one after another. Each of them was enchanted with Instant Cast, Spell Amplification, and Spell Penetration. The three Flame Bursts were cast in a row, shattering the Ice Wall that Ross Merlin had painstakingly erected.
Then, a Wind Blade broke the Ice Fire Shield …
And then …
There was no then.
Because at this time, an Icicle was already pressed against Ross Merlin's throat …
"I'm sorry, I won …"
After saying this, William Merlin didn't care about Ross Merlin's reaction and directly waved his hand to disperse the Icicle. He didn't even look at Ross Merlin as he chased after Lin Yun and the Draconic Beastman, leaving the ruined courtyard together.
Ross Merlin stood there alone, and in a very distant place, a dozen Expert Swordsmen, as well as Harvey, were dumbstruck as they watched this scene. They saw the most outstanding genius of the Merlin Family being defeated by William Merlin, who they had never put in their eyes before.
"How was it, Cousin? My performance just now could be considered pretty good …" At this time, William Merlin had already caught up to Lin Yun like a wisp of smoke and started asking for credit with a fawning smile.
"Are you referring to that Counterspell you wasted?"
"…"
"Or are you referring to those three Flame Bursts that weren't coordinated at all?"
"Eh …" William Merlin, who was originally full of joy, immediately lowered his head after being hit by Lin Yun. After a long time, he mumbled, "In any case, I won against Ross Merlin …"
"Yes, you won against Ross Merlin …" Lin Yun surprisingly didn't attack him this time, he only smiled and nodded. "Thus, you will soon become the focus of the Merlin Family."
"Ah?"
"What ah? Didn't you notice that there were at least three Mage Eyes in the vicinity when you were fighting Ross Merlin? "Oh, right, that doesn't include the dense aura of prophecy. I feel that your heroic posture must have already appeared in a very, very big crystal ball …"
"You mean …" William Merlin was startled when he heard this. "You mean, someone was spying on us?"
"That wasn't spying, it was watching …"
"…"
William Merlin's courtyard had already been destroyed beyond recognition. Even if Lin Yun wanted to live there, he couldn't, so he had no choice but to look for another place to live. Fortunately, the Merlin Family's manor was big enough, and with William Merlin's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find another place to live.
Lin Yun wasn't worried about this.
What truly interested Lin Yun were the three Mage Eyes, as well as the dense aura of divination. If Lin Yun wasn't wrong, those three Mage Eyes should have come from three 9th Rank High Mages, and one of them might have already reached the Archmage realm.
If he wasn't wrong, they should be in the same generation as William Merlin's father and were the backbone of the current Merlin Family.
It looked like William Merlin would receive a lot of attention in the near future.
As for the mana fluctuations emitted from the huge crystal ball …
Even Lin Yun didn't know what it was.
Lin Yun could only faintly feel a dangerous aura within those mana fluctuations.
After all, although Lin Yun was only a 1st Rank High Mage, in terms of fighting power, a 1st Rank Archmage like Suyass might not necessarily be his opponent. For an aura that could make Lin Yun feel dangerous, it could be imagined how powerful it was.
'Maybe a 5th Rank Archmage is hiding behind those mana fluctuations …'
'Forget it, I'll first enter the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land.'
The feeling of being stuck at the 1st Rank High Mage realm was truly terrible.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun no longer paid attention to those three Mage Eyes and those strange mana fluctuations. He only urged William Merlin to find a place to stay so that he could look for Ofran the next morning and have him open the Ancestral Land to them.
"Cousin, this is where my older sister used to live, but no one has taken care of it for a long time. But there's nothing we can do about it, we'll have to make do with it for the night …" The group of three walked for about ten minutes before reaching a somewhat dilapidated house.
"Oh, right, Cousin …" William Merlin seemed to remember something when he pushed the door open and stopped. "My older sister adopted a little girl, she's now living here by herself, but she's a bit eccentric …"
"Okay, I understand." Lin Yun nodded. He understood William Merlin's meaning. He wanted to say that this little girl had a strange personality and that if he met her, he shouldn't lower himself to her level.
After the group of three entered the house, they discovered that the house looked a bit dilapidated, but the inside was spotless. The tables and chairs were wiped clean, and there was not a speck of dust on the floor. Even shadows could be seen. This wasn't like what William Merlin had said, that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
"Let's go to the 2nd floor, there are a few empty rooms there. I used to live on the 2nd floor when I came here before …"
William Merlin said as he led the two to the 2nd floor.
"Hmm?" Just as they stepped on the stairs, Lin Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was the feeling of being spied on.
At first, Lin Yun thought that the people watching William Merlin hadn't given up and were looking at them.
This discovery immediately made Lin Yun's face darken.
Lin Yun didn't have any objections to watching William Merlin. In any case, every word he said in that battle had been encrypted with runes. Even Ross Merlin, who was very close to him, didn't know what he was saying, let alone the three Warlock Eyes.
But Lin Yun was a little unhappy that he had to continue peeping …
This was a blatant provocation …
Just as Lin Yun wanted to find these Warlock Eyes and warn the peeping people, he suddenly discovered that it wasn't a Warlock Eye that was spying on him, but a pair of bright eyes …
In the shadow of the corner of the stairs, a sallow and emaciated little girl was standing there silently. The little girl was 11 or 12 years old, and her face was pale from malnutrition. Her hair was also sparse, and she looked like a small bean sprout that could be blown away by the wind.
