This hadn't happened yet, so Hanson naturally didn't know that Lin Yun had only read about it in a book.
Hanson was truly terrified. A young High Mage from the Merlin Family actually knew the core secret of the Charlotte Family. This was a terrible disaster for the entire Charlotte Family. 'No, I can't let him leave this place alive. I have to make him shut up before he tells the Merlin Family.'
Thinking of this, Hanson Charlotte no longer cared about whether the Star Gem was a Star Gem or not …
Compared to the biggest secret of the Charlotte Family, what was the Star Gem?
"Mafa Merlin, you forced me to do this!" Hanson tightly gripped his staff with both hands and chanted an incantation that sounded like a prayer. Hanson's face distorted as black smoke started to fill the air, carrying a thick smell of blood and sulfur.
Within the black smoke, Hanson let out a beast-like roar. Amidst the pain, there seemed to be a trace of pleasure mixed with some cracking sounds, as if something was being torn apart. The most frightening part was that even Ross Merlin, who was over a hundred meters away from the smoke, could feel a sinister and frightening aura frantically rising.
Finally, the black smoke dissipated.
"Heavens …" Ross Merlin couldn't help holding his breath as he looked at the scene.
No, it wasn't just Ross Merlin …
Even the 5th Rank High Mage that came with Hanson had a fearful expression when he saw this scene.
The staff in the hands of the 5th Rank High Mage fell to the ground with a "bang", and his whole face turned pale in an instant. He staggered back while letting out a sleep-talking sound.
"Monster, monster, monster …"
Indeed, what came out of the black smoke was a monster.
His whole body was covered in dense black scales, a long tail was swaying back and forth, and two long curved horns could be seen on his sinister head. Not a single trace of a human could be seen on his body.
"Trash!" With a deep roar, the monster's long tail curled, and that 5th Rank High Mage didn't even have time to struggle before he was already in front of the monster. An arm covered in black scales stretched out and lightly twisted, snapping that 5th Rank High Mage's neck.
"Fleeing trash, the Charlotte Family doesn't need a maggot like you …" After twisting the neck of the 5th Rank High Mage, the monster casually threw the corpse to the side. He then turned his sinister head and stared at Lin Yun with a pair of cruel and bloodthirsty eyes. "Hahaha, Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one last chance, hand over the Star Gem …"
"Your acting is too bad …" Lin Yun helplessly smiled.
At this time, Lin Yun really wanted Hanson to look in the mirror. 'In order to keep this secret, you didn't even let off your own people, yet you're telling me to hand over the Star Gem and spare my life? Even a child wouldn't be fooled by such words …'
"Hahaha, hahaha, Mafa Merlin, you are a lot smarter than I thought." After hearing Lin Yun's answer, the monster no longer became long-winded. It let out a deep roar before pouncing towards Lin Yun.
In that split second, Hanson's speed and power weren't inferior to a Sword Saint's. His body reeked of blood and sulfur instantly appeared in front of Lin Yun. Then, a crisp sound could be heard. That was the sound of that long tail swinging. The tail covered in black scales was like a black python, leaving afterimages behind as it tightly coiled around Lin Yun's body.
"Fuck …" Ross Merlin immediately cursed. After Hanson turned into a monster, his strength had increased tenfold. Just from his speed and power, Lin Yun could tell that Hanson was at least a Sword Saint.
Moreover, besides the thick smell of blood and sulfur, Hanson's body was also emitting powerful mana fluctuations.
Those were even more powerful mana fluctuations than before, far surpassing the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm.
Ross Merlin knew that this meant that Hanson's mana had most likely reached the Archmage realm.
This was a monster that was both a Sword Saint and an Archmage …
Ross Merlin, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, felt his heart sink as Hanson turned into a monster.
This power was too frightening.
Compared to the two 9th Rank Phantom Archers and the 5th Rank High Mage, the current Hanson Merlin was ten times more powerful.
Ross Merlin despaired when that long tail tightly coiled around Lin Yun. 'It's over, it's over, it's really over. Even if this younger cousin's strength far surpassed that of an ordinary High Mage, he wouldn't be able to struggle free from this kind of power.
Wasn't that the 5th Rank High Mage from before? '
"Hmm?" As Ross Merlin despaired, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Hanson, who had used his tail to bind Lin Yun and should have taken the initiative, suddenly let out an angry roar.
That tail that was tightly coiled around Lin Yun suddenly loosened, and at the same time, he raised his arm covered in black scales and used his sharp elbow to fiercely smash Lin Yun's head.
A cracking sound could be heard as Lin Yun's head was smashed to pieces.
But …
The imagined scene of blood splattering and brains splattering did not happen. Hanson Charlotte's powerful blow seemed to have hit the air. The smashed head and corpse turned into a wisp of smoke in the air, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Ross Merlin's eyes shone as a ball of flames rose up behind Hanson. With a glance, he saw his younger cousin covered in flames, holding a book emitting a terrifying aura in one hand and a magic staff embedded with a huge gem in the other.
"Gem …" Ross Merlin was stunned at first, but then he suddenly understood.
'This is Elemental Amber!'
'The young mage that Anna mentioned killed Stan Watson with a single blow despite being heavily protected by the Red Dragon Mercenary Group!'
'It's actually, it's actually Mafa Merlin!'
At this time, Ross Merlin was stunned as he looked at the flaming Lin Yun, unable to say a word.
Indeed, according to Anna's description, that young mage was holding a magic staff embedded with Elemental Amber and using Elemental Incarnation to pass through the Red Dragon Mercenary Group's encirclement, as if he was taking a stroll in his own backyard.
And then …
There was no then …
Ever since leaving the auction hall, Ross Merlin had been secretly guessing whether his younger cousin was that young mage with the power of an Archmage.
Now, Ross Merlin finally saw his younger cousin take out that magic staff embedded with Elemental Amber.
'That's right, my guess was right.
The one who killed Stan Watson was this younger cousin … '
At this time, Ross Merlin's mood was incomparably complicated. It was ridiculous that he had put forward such a condition, saying that he could help the Gilded Rose three times.
If he had known that this younger cousin was the young mage who killed Stan Watson, how could Ross Merlin have put forward such a condition? That was an existence comparable to an Archmage. Let alone three times, even if he made three hundred moves, how could he compare to a single strand of his hair?
While Ross Merlin was preoccupied, Hanson completed his Elemental Incarnation. Just as Hanson finished his incantation, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. The originally scorching sun in the sky instantly turned into a world of ice and snow. Hanson was covered in a thick layer of ice, looking like a Frost Giant looking down at Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, you really surprised me …" Hanson's roar was accompanied by a chill.
This was enough to prove that Hanson's current magic power was definitely at the Archmage realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use Ice Elemental Incarnation to this extent. Just the mana fluctuations were enough to affect the surroundings.
"Haha, Hanson, you are the same. I'm really surprised that you became so ugly …"
"Hahahaha, Mafa Merlin, being stubborn is useless. Indeed, I admit that your strength is beyond my expectations, but so what? I used a hundred years of sacrifices to exchange for my current power. Don't tell me that you can't feel it? My current power is almost perfect. This is the perfect fusion of magic and martial skills. Do you really think you have a chance of winning? "Hahaha, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Over the years, I've devoured the flesh and blood of many members of the Merlin Family, but you are the first one as powerful as you. I'm thinking that once I tear you to shreds and chew on you, that sweet blood would fill my mouth, how wonderful would that taste be …"
After saying that, Hanson fiercely took a step forward, causing the surroundings to shake. Hanson's Frost Giant Incarnation was truly like a Demon God. His power and magic were perfectly fused together, and his every movement carried terrifying power.
