'What's going on?'
Whether it was Ross Merlin or Hanson, they couldn't help being stunned when the Runic Shield appeared. 'This doesn't make sense, how could a Runic Shield appear?' The two of them were High Mages, how could they not calculate a simple spell cooldown period? This was a skill that every mage had to have. For Ross Merlin and Hanson, it could already be said to have fused with their blood and bodies, becoming a subconscious reaction.
In the world of magic, there were some rules that could never be changed, such as the spell cooldown period. Even for Heaven Rank powerhouses, or existences surpassing the Heaven Rank, as long as they hadn't completely separated themselves from the world of magic, they couldn't change this rule.
Perhaps some extremely powerful existences could greatly compress a spell's cooldown period, but it was impossible to completely ignore it.
Not to mention that the young High Mage before them was far from being that powerful.
But what was going on with this Runic Shield?
After all, it had only been two or three seconds since the last Runic Shield disappeared, how could he have the ability to use a second Runic Shield?
This was too frightening …
Once a mage had this ability, it meant that they would always be under the protection of a Runic Shield. This wasn't a joke, a mage under the protection of a Runic Shield would be an invincible existence. A mage that could ignore the majority of damage and didn't even have to worry about being interrupted, this kind of mage was too frightening.
This was an existence that could break the balance.
'Hold on …'
Ross Merlin was dumbstruck, but he suddenly noticed that this Runic Shield was a bit different from the previous one.
'How could this be?'
Ross Merlin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
'It's really different!'
This time, Ross Merlin was convinced that he wasn't mistaken. Indeed, this Runic Shield was a bit different from the previous one. The most obvious difference was that the radiance was a lot brighter, and the countless runes condensed together looked like a dazzling curtain of light. It was surging up and down, mysterious and difficult to understand, and the mana fluctuations it emitted gave people an unshakable feeling.
Indeed, this Runic Shield truly gave Ross Merlin such a feeling.
Unbreakable, unshakable …
Looking at the Runic Shield, Ross Merlin finally understood how amazing his cousin's achievements in magic were.
Everyone knew that the power of a Runic Shield was determined by the accumulation of runes. The more runes a mage accumulated, the more powerful their Runic Shield would be.
The runes appearing on that Runic Shield could only be described as outrageous. Ross Merlin even felt that many Archmages' Runic Shields weren't as frightening as this younger cousin's.
In contrast, the Runic Shield he had cast before was simply a joke.
"Could it be …" Ross Merlin's heart skipped a beat.
'Could it be that this distant cousin didn't cast a Runic Shield at all?'
That's right, that's right …
This was the only reason that could explain why his younger cousin could ignore the spell cooldown period and why there was such a huge difference in the power of the two Runic Shields.
All of this was because this distant cousin hadn't used a Runic Shield …
But if it wasn't a Runic Shield, then what was it?
'Could it be that my cousin used some other defensive spell to forcibly simulate a Runic Shield?'
This sudden thought startled Ross Merlin.
If that was the case, then it would be too outrageous.
'How could it be …'
'Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, Runic Shield … There are only a few defensive spells that High Mages can use, and each of them has a very distinct characteristic. How could he forcibly simulate a Runic Shield?
'Hold on …'
'There seems to be an Ice Fire Shield?'
That legendary defensive spell with endless operating space was forgotten most of the time because its flaws were too obvious. It had harsh requirements on a mage's control. The Ice Shield could resist physical damage, while the Fire Shield could resist magic damage. Moreover, it was only a few inches wide, making it unable to compare to the other three defensive spells.
But Ross Merlin knew that …
Once a mage's control reached a certain degree, the power of the Ice Fire Shield wouldn't be much inferior to the other three defensive spells.
Naturally, to be able to manipulate the Ice Fire Shield to the level of a Runic Shield …
That could only be described as monstrous.
As he thought of this, Ross Merlin looked at his younger cousin with a complicated expression.
At this time, Ross Merlin also had a complicated expression.
The appearance of that Runic Shield really scared Hanson. He was in a daze, a Frost Spear had already formed in his hands, but he didn't throw it.
But there was no time for Hanson to be in a daze.
Because after Lin Yun raised his Runic Shield, his whole body was in an almost unbreakable state. The crazily whistling Frost Tornadoes in all directions were like several dozen meat grinders operating at the same time. That kind of frightening power could destroy everything, and the entire street seemed to have been turned upside down.
But now, these Frost Tornadoes didn't seem to exist to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, who was covered in flames, tyrannically passed through the blockade of the Frost Tornadoes. The countless runes condensed into a Runic Shield, but it didn't seem to be affected by the Frost Tornadoes. The runes only churned before condensing once again, without any signs of the runes scattering.
"How could this be!" Lin Yun's tyrannical attitude finally roused Hanson. That Frost Giant let out a panicked roar and shot his Frost Spear once again, heavily bombarding the Runic Shield.
But this time, the Frost Spear seemed to have lost its power. One, two, three, four … Eight Frost Spears flew out, but they couldn't affect Lin Yun.
"I said, ten seconds …" Lin Yun casually blocked the last Frost Spear, and through the raging flames, a smile could be seen on his face.
"What do you mean?" Hanson was suddenly startled. Although Hanson still had the upper hand and kept attacking with Frost Lances, that young High Mage could only use a Runic Shield to block. But for some reason, when Hanson saw that smile, he suddenly felt alarmed. That kind of feeling felt as if some danger was about to descend.
'But what kind of danger?'
Hanson couldn't figure it out. He was very safe now, he could attack or retreat. So what if that young High Mage unexpectedly cast another Runic Shield? Runic Shields couldn't kill people, and as time passed, this Runic Shield would disappear sooner or later. Hanson didn't believe that the young High Mage could cast another Runic Shield.
'Right, the fight has already reached this stage, why would I still feel danger?'
"Because the casting time of this spell is indeed a bit long …" Lin Yun sighed.
"Ah?"
Hanson Charlotte was taken aback.
Then, a sea of fire soared into the sky. The originally scattered hundreds of balls of fire suddenly connected into one, and the area within a few hundred meters instantly became a sea of fire …
Before Hanson Charlotte could understand what was going on, the overwhelming flames had already swept over like a wave.
At first, Hanson sneered, because he felt that he was already in the advanced form of Ice Elemental Incarnation. His defensive abilities were so strong that he wouldn't be affected by any flames, unless those flames could crush him in power.
But his current power came from the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, a peak True Spirit Magic Tool that could crush him. How could it appear in the hands of a young High Mage?
But soon, Hanson couldn't laugh anymore.
That was because Hanson suddenly discovered that the temperature of the oncoming flames was shockingly high. Just the first wave had melted more than half of the ice armor covering Hanson's arm. In an instant, densely packed black scales were revealed.
"How could this be!" Hanson simply didn't dare to believe that a young High Mage in his twenties could actually summon such terrifying flames.
"Haha …" Lin Yun only chuckled and held the Spiritual Magic Staff horizontally in front of his chest. When the Elemental Amber was activated, a large amount of mana started flowing into Lin Yun's body.
At the same time, the two Alchemic Mana Whirlpools also started revolving.
Three types of mana simultaneously poured into Lin Yun's body. This amount of mana was enough to make any High Mage despair. Even Lin Yun couldn't help having a pained expression. Nothing could be done about it, the amount of mana pouring into his body was too much. Even with the Magic Array, Lin Yun couldn't bear it for a while.
But after enduring the initial discomfort, the effect of the huge mana infusion immediately appeared. The new Magic Array seemed to be crazily revolving.
Under the influence of the Magic Array, the flames that had been covering the sky rose by over ten meters and instantly engulfed Hanson.
