A few years ago, Suyass was sent to the Golden Forest Plane's battlefield to lead the puppet army to fight against the Underground Elves. After several years of tempering, he was getting closer and closer to the Archmage realm. Everyone was looking forward to Suyass breaking through and becoming another Archmage of the Mercury Tower.
However, at this time, something big happened in the Gold Forest Plane. After Somu, one of the Seven Great Magic Cities, was breached, an Abyssal Evil Dragon's corpse was discovered. This Abyssal Evil Dragon's corpse was sealed at the bottom of the Gold Forest Plane. Its massive body spanning thousands of miles was like a mountain range that tightly connected the Seven Great Magic Cities. At that time, what appeared in front of the Mercury Tower's people was only a head of the Abyssal Evil Dragon's corpse, but the terrifying aura that seeped through the seal was like a storm.
At that time, the entire Mercury Tower was in an uproar.
To the Master Alchemists of the Mercury Tower, the corpse of an Abyssal Evil Dragon was invaluable. At that time, Nolan even gave the order to seize that Abyssal Evil Dragon's corpse at all costs.
Thus, the Mercury Tower sped up the pace of conquering the seven Great Magic Cities, and it only took three years for them to break through three of them.
But no one had expected that the news of the Abyssal Evil Dragon's corpse would be leaked at that time.
Then, the Black Tower came.
The Black Tower used some unknown method to forcibly deduce the coordinates of the Golden Forest Plane. They then took a huge risk and dispatched three Archmages and ten 9th Rank High Mages to quietly infiltrate the Golden Forest Plane.
At that time, Suyass' puppet army was facing fierce resistance from the 4th Magic City. Under the urgency of the battle, he made a huge mistake. Suyass didn't discover that the news of the Abyssal Evil Dragon had been leaked, nor did he discover that the Black Tower's people had already arrived.
Thus, without Suyass knowing, the Black Tower's team went deep into the Magic City's Somme. With the three Archmages and ten 9th Rank High Mages working together, they forcibly broke a corner of the seal and seized one of the Abyssal Evil Dragon's eyeballs.
That eyeball was Herman's True Spirit Magic Tool, the Evil Dragon Eye.
After the Abyssal Magic Dragon's eyeball was snatched, Suyass reacted and promptly gave up on the attack on the 4th Magic City. He abandoned the puppet army and returned on his own. But he ended up running into Herman, who had stayed behind to bring up the rear.
The two fought fiercely, and Suyass was defeated.
Herman chased Suyass for three days in the forest of the Golden Forest Plane before finally drifting away in front of the puppet army's returning reinforcements.
This was a lifetime of shame for Suyass.
It wasn't just because he was defeated by Herman.
More importantly, Suyass felt that his mistake in this matter had shamed the entire Mercury Tower.
After the black tower took the abyss evil dragon's eyeball from the Golden Forest Plane, they refused to admit that their team had entered the Golden Forest Plane.
Because of this, even Nolan angrily charged into the Black Tower, pointing at Hören and loudly cursing him.
But no matter how loudly she cursed, she couldn't change the fact that the Abyssal Evil Dragon's eyeball had been snatched. Unless the Mercury Tower was determined to start a war with the Black Tower, they wouldn't be able to prove that the Black Tower had done anything.
In fact, in the end, the Mercury Tower could only endure the disgust and swallow this grievance.
The most intolerable part was that Herman started frequently visiting after that incident and would ask the Mercury Tower to help repair the Evil Dragon Eye from time to time.
Every time Suyass saw Herman, every time he saw the Evil Dragon Eye, he would feel a deep sense of humiliation.
But Suyass knew that the current Mercury Tower simply didn't have the ability to fall out with the Black Tower.
Thus, Suyass endured.
Just like today, even if Herman came with the Evil Dragon Eye, even if Herman said that he was the one who had chased him for three days and three nights in the Golden Forest Plane, Suyass could only endure in silence.
Because the current Mercury Tower couldn't afford to provoke an enemy like the Black Tower.
Originally, there was a considerable gap between the two forces, and now that the Black Tower had used up almost all of its strength due to the changes in the Golden Forest Plane, if they started a war with the Black Tower now, they would be attacked from both sides, and the Mercury Tower would be in danger.
"I'll say it again, Herman, Merlin is my friend, he isn't a Battle Mage." Suyass suppressed his anger and said with an ashen expression, "Our Mercury Tower welcomes you if you want to repair the Evil Dragon Eye, but I don't have time to accompany you."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Yun and squeezed out an unsightly smile, "Merlin, come to my study, it's too noisy here."
"Go?" But before Lin Yun could say anything, Herman interrupted, "Suyass, you are really naive. Even a child of Okland knows about the hatred between the Black Tower and those Gaugass Barbarians. Who do you think you are, you actually want to take away a Battle Mage right in front of me …"
"Don't tell me this is the Mercury Tower." After saying this, Herman's expression sank and he emitted the mana fluctuations of an Archmage. He was filled with an indescribable aura as he said, "No one should think of taking him away today."
"You …" Suyass' expression froze.
"Alright, kid, don't think that Suyass can protect you. Now, obediently follow me to the Black Tower …"
"Herman, don't go too far!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun knew that he had no other choice but to stand up.
"It's fine." Lin Yun patted Suyass' shoulder before walking out from behind him and looking at Herman without backing down. "I'll say it again, I'm from Thousand Sails City, I'm not a Battle Mage."
"Haha …" Herman sneered, "Whether you are a Battle Mage or not isn't up to you. What you need to do now is obediently follow me back to the Black Tower. The torture tools in the Obsidian Prison will make you spill everything …"
"What if I don't want to go?"
"Hmph, that's not up to you …" After saying that, Herman stretched out his hand. His hand didn't look strong or powerful. From afar, it even looked a little withered.
But even Suyass' expression couldn't help changing when that hand stretched out.
"Herman, you dare!" Suyass panicked and wanted to stop it.
But it was already too late …
The moment Herman's hand extended, the surrounding mana fluctuations suddenly became berserk. It felt like a whirlpool was devouring everything. It was as if Herman's hand was holding a huge whirlpool that was crazily sucking in everything in the surroundings.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun frowned, 'This doesn't seem to be a spell?'
"Merlin, this is the Devouring Hand, be careful …" Suyass had an anxious expression.
Among the people present, Suyass was the only one who had personally seen the Devouring Hand. Back then, Herman had chased Suyass for three days and three nights in the forest of the Golden Forest Plane, and Suyass had suffered from the Devouring Hand more than once.
After returning from the Golden Forest Plane, Suyass had repeatedly studied Herman, and with Karon and Nolan's help, he finally understood that this Devouring Hand wasn't a true spell, but rather an ability.
But that ability wasn't innate.
Herman's Magic Conducting Rune was one of the Black Tower's Three Great Magic Conducting Runes, the Black Hole.
In the entire Andalusia, the Black Hole could be considered one of the peak Magic Conducting Runes, and it was very strange. One or two wouldn't make people feel anything, but once there were more than five, the power of the Black Hole would be displayed. The Black Hole innately had the power to devour everything. In battle, the Black Hole could even absorb the opponent's mana.
From this, it could be seen how strange and evil the Black Hole Magic Conducting Rune was.
But this strange and evil Magic Conducting Rune was also very dangerous. Many people would choose the Black Hole as their Magic Conducting Rune as soon as they became Great Mages, and by using the strange characteristics of the Magic Conducting Rune, they would have fighting strength far surpassing those of the same rank.
As a result, the Great Mages who did this usually didn't have a good ending.
Devouring mana was a very dangerous thing in itself. If it was light, it would cause the mana to become impure. If it was heavy, it would cause the mana to exceed the limit and the Mana Whirlpool wouldn't be able to bear it.
It could be said that out of ten Great Mages who chose the Black Hole as their Magic Conducting Rune, nine of them would fall midway. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they wouldn't be able to advance to a higher realm.
As time passed, very few Great Mages chose the Black Hole as their Magic Conducting Rune.
Herman was a true exception.
Suyass had once heard that Herman was the only Archmage of the Black Tower who chose the Black Hole as his Magic Conducting Rune.
Because Herman had a Meditation Law Set that could be used with the Black Hole.
Moreover, this was Herman's unique Meditation Law Set. Apart from Herman, no one else in the Black Tower could practice it.
It was probably because of this that Herman was so valued by the Black Tower. Even the Evil Dragon Eye ended up in Herman's hands.
The Devouring Hand that Herman was using now used the Black Hole as the core and Herman's unique Meditation Law Set to evolve into a kind of ability.
This was an ability unique to Herman.
It was so powerful that even Suyass didn't dare to face it head-on.
Once it was used, it immediately engulfed the entire alchemy laboratory. The berserk mana fluctuations were like a hurricane.
