"Hey …" Lin Yun was dumbstruck. 'There is such an impatient Master Alchemist? How could someone with that kind of temperament endure the boredom of alchemy? '
At this time, the fiercely contracting Mana Shackles let out a sharp whistling sound in the air. It was as if a taut bowstring had suddenly been loosened, and with a "snap", it bound Lin Yun.
"Speak, who is your teacher? Is it Casey or Kang Chi …" The middle-aged Alchemist didn't make another move after the Mana Shackles. He only walked towards Lin Yun with a serious expression. "I want to see who is so unruly as to casually let a disciple barge into this alchemy laboratory."
"Eh …" Lin Yun looked at the Mana Shackles on his body before helplessly shaking his head.
He then used a bit of strength to break free from the Mana Shackles.
Yes, it was just a bit of strength …
From this Mana Shackles, it could be seen that this middle-aged Alchemist was at least a 5th Rank High Mage. An ordinary 1st Rank High Mage would definitely have to spend a lot of effort to dissolve the Mana Shackles he released. They might even have to use an Elemental Shield. After all, the suppression of a 5th Rank High Mage was too great.
Unfortunately, he met Lin Yun.
To Lin Yun, a Mana Shackle formed from pure mana simply didn't exist. Under the operation of the Magic Array, it was as if this Mana Shackle had been stripped naked. Lin Yun knew the structure of this Mana Shackle and its weak points even with his eyes closed. Lin Yun only needed to release a wisp of mana to stimulate a few weak points and cause the Mana Shackles' structure to collapse.
All that was left was a bit of strength.
But this scene was completely different in the eyes of the middle-aged Alchemist.
"Battle Mage?" The middle-aged alchemist narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Yun with vigilance and hostility.
In the eyes of the middle-aged alchemist, wearing a robe, holding a magic staff, and not emitting any Aura … In other words, this person was a mage and not a warrior. But as a mage, he was able to break free from his Mana Shackles with pure physical power without the help of any spells. Moreover, he was able to do it so easily. This could only mean that he came from Gaugass and was a Battle Mage that emphasized both martial and magic.
Things would get a lot more complicated if Battle Mages were involved.
In those days, the Gaugass King led his Battle Mages and almost ended the rule of the 3rd Dynasty. Although Emperor Zhantui defeated the Gaugass King in the Tulan Mountain Range and his Battle Mages remained silent for several millennia, the disaster three hundred years ago caused the Battle Mages to break off relations with the Black Tower. From then on, the Battle Mages became truly unusual.
That disaster had been too painful for the Black Tower.
It was to the point that the Black Tower still hated that group of unusual creatures to this day.
If you approached the Black Tower now, the first thing you would see would be the bounty posted outside the Black Tower. Killing a Battle Mage would allow you to exchange them for a Magic Tool of the same level. For an entire three hundred years, the contents of the bounty hadn't changed. This was the hatred of the Black Tower that lasted for three hundred years.
With the Black Tower at its peak, the attitude of the Black Tower would naturally affect the attitude of the other forces. Over time, even forces like the Cloud Tower and the Mercury Tower wouldn't come in contact with Battle Mages. One reason was because Battle Mages were truly unusual, and the second was because they didn't want to provoke the Black Tower.
In the past three hundred years, Battle Mages had almost disappeared from Okland. Even if they occasionally appeared, their whereabouts were mostly hidden.
"I really didn't expect that our Mercury Tower was actually hiding a Battle Mage like you. Speak, who is your teacher? I want to see who was blind to actually let a Battle Mage sneak into the Mercury Tower …" The middle-aged man had a gloomy expression as he looked at Lin Yun with unconcealable hostility.
This wasn't a joke. If the Black Tower learned that a Battle Mage had sneaked into the Mercury Tower, it would inevitably attract a huge amount of trouble. It might even attract the retaliation of the Black Tower.
The consequences would be too serious.
The first thought that popped up in the middle-aged man's mind was to take advantage of the fact that this Battle Mage hadn't been exposed yet and erase all traces of him.
Thus, after saying that, the middle-aged Alchemist didn't even wait for an answer and directly chanted an incantation, casting a Frost Ring. Only an ice-blue radiance could be seen flickering in front of Lin Yun, followed by an explosion as a huge amount of Frost Elements exploded in a ring. The power that burst out was enough to force any 5th Rank High Mage to use an Elemental Shield to block it.
But Lin Yun didn't.
Facing the berserk Ice Elementals, Lin Yun only took a step back to avoid the scattering chunks of ice before casting an Ice Shield. Under Lin Yun's formidable control, that Ice Shield only flashed before disappearing. It was just an Ice Shield and a Fire Shield alternating. The Fire Shield blocked the explosion of the Frost Ring while the Ice Shield dissolved the Icicles produced by the explosion. It was fast and accurate, and if one wasn't careful, they wouldn't have noticed the existence of that Ice Fire Shield.
It was just like the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man cast a Frost Ring, but he didn't see the Ice Fire Shield. The first thought that flashed in his mind was, 'Such a frightening physique, if he isn't a Battle Mage, then what is he?'
"You really are a Battle Mage!" After confirming his guess, the middle-aged man didn't hold back. He cast a Frost Ring, followed by a Fire Dragon, a Flame Burst, and a Hellfire.
Three fire-elemental spells were cast almost at the same time.
This was a spell combo commonly used by 5th Rank High Mages. It used the Fire Dragon's burst ability to be delayed for a few seconds while Flame Burst and Hellfire were used in the middle. One single-target spell and one area-of-effect spell would burst out at the same time as the Fire Dragon. The power that burst out at that moment would completely surpass the limits of one's own rank.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun frowned when the middle-aged alchemist chanted the Fire Dragon incantation. Whether it was the Mana Shackles or the Frost Ring, they were mainly used for control, not to kill the enemy. Moreover, Lin Yun had always had a good relationship with the Mercury Tower, so he didn't get angry.
But this time …
Fire Dragon, Flame Burst, Hellfire …
The spell combo commonly used by 5th Rank High Mages came out.
This also meant that this middle-aged alchemist wanted to kill him.
After twenty years of experience at the end of the magic era, Lin Yun was already used to nipping all dangers in the bud. 'If you want to kill me, then I'll kill you first.' This was a subconscious action. Lin Yun instinctively used Elemental Incarnation and turned into a ball of flames. He borrowed the three Fire Spells released by the other side to use a Flame Flash to pass through.
Then, a Flame Spear was thrown out.
The middle-aged man's reaction wasn't slow. When he saw Lin Yun use Elemental Incarnation, he immediately cast an Elemental Shield because he knew that the other side was about to counterattack. Sure enough, just as the Elemental Shield was released, a Flame Spear followed up.
The Flame Spear turned into dazzling sparks as it collided with the Elemental Shield.
The middle-aged man's expression didn't change, and a sneer could be seen at the corner of his mouth. A Battle Mage was a Battle Mage. How could these people who thought that magic and martial skills were equally important know what true magic was like?
But …
Before the middle-aged alchemist could completely sneer, Lin Yun raised his hand once again and cast a Flame Burst with a long trail of flames.
'Fuck …' The middle-aged man inwardly cursed. 'How could he be so fast?'
How could he have known …
With the Magic Array, Lin Yun could cast spells of the same element while in the Elemental Incarnation state, and he could ignore the cooldown of spells.
Thus …
One Flame Burst, two Flame Bursts, three Flame Bursts, four Flame Bursts …
Lin Yun cast seven Flame Bursts in a row, making the middle-aged man sweat profusely.
The Elemental Shield's radiance was becoming dimmer and dimmer. The Elemental Shield, which had been so bright at the start, was now only emitting a faint light. The middle-aged man knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand even one Flame Burst.
Unless he immediately counterattacked and suppressed the other side, the other side's next Flame Burst would shatter the Elemental Shield.
Then, the blazing flames would thoroughly engulf him.
The middle-aged man was thoroughly panicking.
'How could a Gaugass Battlemage have such frightening casting abilities? That's seven Flame Bursts! Even with the Elemental Incarnation's strengthening, it shouldn't be this excessive, right?'
'Moreover, didn't I want to teach him a lesson at the start to make him understand the rules? How did it suddenly turn out like this? '
The middle-aged man sobered up from his fear and suddenly discovered that he was about to lose his life in this battle. This sudden change made the middle-aged man want to cry, but no tears came out. This kind of feeling was like seeing a pebble on the side of the road and casually kicking it, only to find out that the pebble had turned into a man-eating monster.
"What are you doing!?" At this time, the door to the alchemy laboratory was suddenly pushed open and someone hurriedly rushed in. Seeing the Elemental Shield on the middle-aged man's body as well as the Flame Burst in Lin Yun's hands, he didn't have time to analyze the cause and effect. He chanted an Elemental Shield to save the middle-aged man's life while shouting at Lin Yun, "Stop!"
But just as he finished shouting, he suddenly froze. "Merlin?"
