Ever since obtaining the power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, Hanson had never been so afraid. Even when facing the Merlin Family's Patriarch, Ofran, Hanson was confident that he could rely on the power of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice to fight him. But now, Hanson was truly afraid as he faced that huge and complicated rune. That was a kind of trembling that came from his bloodline, from his soul.
At this time, Hanson's best method was to kill Mafa Merlin before that power burst out.
But Hanson immediately realized that he couldn't do it. At this time, Hanson finally understood why Mafa Merlin had spent so much time and effort to prepare this boundless Sea of Flames.
Because the Flame Incarnation and this Sea of Flames could put him in an invincible position.
He simply couldn't catch a High Mage that could use Flame Flash at any time. This boundless Sea of Flames gave Mafa Merlin endless space, he could use Flame Flash to escape his grasp at any time.
"Mafa Merlin, you are despicable!" Hanson's roar echoed in the boundless Sea of Flames.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
That huge and complicated rune had already finished condensing in the air.
At this time, it looked like a huge disk that was motionlessly shrouding Hanson's head.
Then, Lin Yun shouted the last incantation.
In an instant, the power of the Truth Chapter burst out. Only an explosion could be heard as that huge and complicated rune heavily exploded on Hanson's chest.
"Aaah!" A world-shaking roar echoed. Pain and despair filled the entire world.
It was rumored that the Truth Chapter could directly understand the origin of all things. Under the shroud of the Truth Chapter, no falsehood or disguise could hide.
This naturally included Hanson Charlotte, a monster that had used decades of sacrifices to temporarily borrow the power of a Greater Devil.
The instant the Truth Chapter burst out, Hanson's black scales started peeling off one by one. His sinister curved horns and long tail started retracting into his body, and his body rapidly shrunk. Even the black mist lingering around his body started dissipating.
"No … No … No, this is impossible, you can't do this!" Hanson's voice became softer and softer. That Abyssal Demonic aura was quickly dissipating, replaced by despair and fear.
But this couldn't stop the power from dissipating.
After a few seconds, Hanson returned to his human form. His hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles. Most importantly, he didn't have the abnormal vitality of his monstrous form. The serious injuries he had left behind finally reaped their consequences. There was a meter-long burn mark on his chest, making him feel like he was on the verge of death.
"Nothing can be done about it, High Mage Hanson, you really can't leave …" After saying this, Lin Yun raised his hand and shot an Icicle, directly piercing Hanson's chest.
"…" Ross Merlin felt a chill as he saw this scene.
Ross Merlin had been fighting in all the major planes for many years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a seasoned veteran. Ross Merlin had killed more than a thousand people. How could Ross Merlin not know that a truly frightening opponent didn't lie in their power, but rather in their proficiency in killing?
This distant cousin of his was definitely the kind of person who was very proficient in killing.
It could be seen from that scene just now.
That could only be described as vicious and merciless. Ross Merlin rarely saw someone kill someone so straightforwardly. He didn't ask anything, he didn't care about anything, he directly raised his hand to kill you with an Icicle. No matter how many tricks you had up your sleeves, no matter how powerful your background, it would be useless.
This kind of person was the most frightening.
If he could, Ross Merlin would rather not have to deal with such a person for the rest of his life.
"Now you know that I didn't tell you who killed Stan Watson for your own good …" After the battle was over, William Merlin slowly got down from the carriage and softly patted Ross Merlin 'shoulder with a gloating smile.
Seeing Ross Merlin like this, William's mood was very good.
In his eyes, the current Ross Merlin was too similar to him in Thousand Sails City. Wasn't he the same as Ross Merlin? At first, he felt that he was a core child of the Merlin Family, that he was powerful and had a bright future ahead of him. A child from a branch family in Thousand Sails City wasn't worthy of being treated as an equal.
But after getting along with him for a long time, he gradually discovered that this cousin of his couldn't be considered a normal human. He would be scared and shocked again and again until he was completely numb to it. He could barely maintain his composure in the face of his cousin's actions.
"Ross, you still have a long way to go …" William Merlin proudly said before returning to the carriage, leaving the dumbstruck Ross Merlin standing there.
At this time, Ross Merlin's mood was as complicated as it could get.
He hadn't expected that this refined cousin, who didn't have any special traits apart from being a bit rich, would be so powerful. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if William Merlin had told him. This was too outrageous. Just now, Hanson Charlotte was a monster who was both an Archmage and a Sword Saint. In terms of pure power, he was close to a 5th Rank Archmage. This kind of strength could be described as top-notch even in Okland, not to mention that he had two 9th Rank Phantom Archers and a 5th Rank High Mage with him.
But this was the result …
Two 9th Rank Phantom Archers died to the Earth Rending Hand, while Hanson was pierced through the chest by an Icicle. Who would believe it? Who would dare to believe it?
"Mafa … Cousin Mafa, you …" Ross Merlin stood there in a daze. He only managed to say this after a while, but he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Hold on, let's talk about that map." But he hadn't expected that Lin Yun would actually be so easy to talk to. He didn't even wait for Ross Merlin to say anything before taking the initiative to mention it.
After all, Ross Merlin had already given up on that map.
It wasn't that he didn't want it, but that he didn't dare to …
Ross Merlin hadn't expected that this distant cousin would take the initiative to mention it when he had completely given up. This feeling was like walking on the road and suddenly being hit by a pie. Ross didn't know how to react at this moment. He stood there in a daze for a long time before a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cousin Mafa …"
"Alright, we'll talk about the map after we return." Lin Yun patted Ross Merlin 'shoulder and didn't say anything else, nor did he explain why he did this.
In fact, the reason Lin Yun did this was very simple. After the battle, Ross Merlin had the opportunity to escape, but he didn't abandon Lin Yun and William Merlin. This reason alone was enough to make Lin Yun forget the previous unpleasantness and seriously discuss the map with Ross Merlin.
"Hmm?" Just as Lin Yun was thinking about whether he should tell Ross Merlin that the map led to a very dangerous place, a strange mana fluctuation suddenly spread.
"Get out of the way!" Lin Yun pushed Ross Merlin the moment he sensed that mana fluctuation.
Because this mana fluctuation was very familiar and very powerful …
If he hadn't guessed wrong, this mana fluctuation should have come from an extremely powerful existence. If it descended, then Ross Merlin staying here would be no different from courting death.
Fortunately, Ross Merlin reacted very quickly. Lin Yun only pushed Ross Merlin a dozen meters away.
Because Ross Merlin knew that something that could make this distant cousin so nervous was definitely not a joke.
Sure enough, just as Ross Merlin retreated less than twenty meters, black smoke suddenly appeared above Hanson Charlotte's corpse.
That black smoke seemed to be alive as it kept distorting in the air, as if something was struggling to come out of the smoke. The most frightening part was that a shocking mana fluctuation was spreading in the surroundings. That power was even stronger and purer than Hanson Charlotte's. It was a kind of evil and bloody aura, and even Lin Yun couldn't help taking a step back.
Ultimately, the black smoke turned into a sinister face. It looked similar to Hanson Charlotte's monstrous form, but even more sinister and frightening.
"…" Lin Yun sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw that sinister face.
'Sure enough …'
The Incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice, that Greater Devil that had been hibernating in the Charlotte Family's Ancestral Land for over a millennium had indeed parasitized Hanson Charlotte's body. Now that Hanson Charlotte's host had died, that Greater Devil's attention was drawn over.
This wasn't a joke. Greater Devils were existences that stood at the peak of Hell's lifeforms. They were evil and bloodthirsty. They ate flesh and blood and were the nightmares of all intelligent lifeforms. Moreover, they were extremely powerful. A Greater Devil at its peak could even kill a Heaven Rank powerhouse in Hell.
