'Oh no …'
Suyass' heart sank. 'Sure enough, it's the Devouring Hand …'
Following the whirlwind, the surrounding mana frantically surged, as if it was being sucked in by an invisible force. It surged towards Herman's palm, and for a moment, the calm alchemy laboratory turned into a scene of gales.
"Balor, get out of the way!" Suyass had personally witnessed the power of the Devouring Hand. During the three days and three nights in the Golden Forest Plane, Herman had displayed this frightening ability more than once.
Suyass knew that something bad was about to happen when the Devouring Hand appeared and promptly pushed Balor back.
Sure enough …
Just as Balor moved back, the power of the Devouring Hand burst out. Suyass only heard a cry of alarm, and when he turned to look, he saw that Balor's face had already turned deathly pale.
And the most frightening part was …
Balor chanted twice in a row, but he couldn't cast a Runic Shield.
After all, Balor was a genuine 5th Rank High Mage. Casting a Runic Shield would only require him to open his mouth, but now, he had to chant twice in a row.
Suyass knew that this was a sign that his mana was in chaos.
This detail made Suyass' expression turn even more unsightly. He truly hadn't expected that in a few years, Herman's Devouring Hand would already reach such a frightening level. After all, Balor had only been hit by the aftermath of the Devouring Hand, and it had caused Balor's mana to be in chaos.
As for Merlin, who was at the center of the Devouring Hand …
As he thought of this, Suyass' expression became even more unsightly.
"Fuck …" Suyass raised his head and cursed.
Because Herman's right hand had already extended.
Suyass knew that the most dangerous part of the Devouring Hand was when it came into direct contact, especially when it came into contact with the body. At that time, the Devouring Hand would be almost invincible. Even an Archmage like him would lose a large amount of mana if touched by Herman's Devouring Hand. At best, his mana would be in chaos, and at worst, his mana whirlpool would be drained.
At such a time, that young High Mage should have immediately retreated.
Only by avoiding the Devouring Hand's strongest attack could he find a chance to turn the tables …
But just as Suyass raised his head, he saw the young High Mage raising his magic staff.
At this moment, Suyass' heart turned cold.
It's over, it's over …
As expected …
Just as Suyass cursed, the young High Mage raised his magic staff to meet it. In a flash, the magic staff embedded with a huge gem collided with the large hand made of mana.
"Truly overestimating yourself …" Herman coldly snorted as a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Herman was able to stand out from the ruthless Black Tower. Over the years, he had experienced countless near-death battles and defeated many seemingly powerful enemies. No one knew better than Herman how terrifying the power of the Devouring Hand would be once it came into contact with someone.
Not to mention a young mage in his twenties …
Even those opponents, who had once suppressed him and far surpassed him in terms of talent and strength, revealed horrified and regretful gazes the moment they came into contact with the Devouring Hand.
When the Devouring Hand came into contact with the magic staff, a huge Devouring Power burst out. Then, the huge gem at the tip of the magic staff darkened and a steady flow of mana poured into Herman's body like a flood. Feeling this familiar feeling, Herman took an intoxicated breath, feeling very comfortable. This wasn't a surprise or a pleasant surprise for Herman. He knew that the Devouring Hand would turn this decent Magic Tool into a piece of trash, and then it would be the turn of that young mage. It might take a minute, it might take two minutes, but that young mage would soon be completely drained of mana and become a cripple.
Everything was under Herman's control.
The magic staff embedded with a huge gem was resisting the large hand made of mana. The gem blossomed with light and runes appeared on the magic staff, giving off a shocking momentum.
But Herman knew that this was only the final radiance of the Magic Tool.
Sure enough, in front of the Devouring Hand, the radiance blossoming from the gem became dimmer and dimmer. The runes appearing on the magic staff were withering like flowers. After less than ten seconds, Herman could already feel that the power of the Magic Tool was continuously declining. It looked like it would be unable to resist the Devouring Hand.
"What should we do …" Suyass was also pale from fright. Herman's move was too unexpected. Suyass hadn't expected Herman to use the Devouring Hand right away.
Moreover …
Moreover, Merlin was too careless.
How could he be so careless and directly come in contact with the Devouring Hand? This was Herman's greatest trump card, one of the Black Tower's strongest Magic Conducting Rune, Black Hole. Coupled with Herman's unique Meditation Law Set, it ultimately evolved into a frightening ability that allowed Herman to crush all opponents of the same rank.
But now, Merlin was in direct contact with such a frightening ability.
'What should I do, what should I do now …'
Suyass knew that the Magic Tool wouldn't be able to last much longer. Soon, the Magic Tool would turn into scrap and the power of the Devouring Hand would fall on Merlin's body.
At that time …
Suyass felt that he had to think of a way!
He absolutely couldn't let the power of the Devouring Hand fall on Merlin's body, and he definitely couldn't let Merlin be taken away by Herman. Otherwise, how could he face his teacher, how could he face Karon?
But the Devouring Hand …
Suyass had faced the Devouring Hand time and time again. There were only a few people who knew better than Suyass how powerful the Devouring Hand was. In Suyass' eyes, the Devouring Hand couldn't be dealt with under the same rank.
As Suyass was burning with anxiety, the Elemental Amber at the top of the Spiritual Magic Staff blossomed with a final ray of light. That meant that the Elemental Amber's mana had been sucked dry by the Devouring Hand. Now, the Devouring Hand would devour the power of the Spiritual Magic Staff itself.
"Unfortunately, this is a pretty good Magic Tool …" Herman shook his head and roused the Devouring Hand once again.
Next, he would thoroughly destroy this Magic Tool.
"It is indeed a bit unfortunate, this is the first time I've seen such an ability …" This was the first time Lin Yun had spoken since the start of the battle.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were unintelligible to everyone present …
What did he mean by 'truly a bit unfortunate'?
"Playing tricks!" Herman coldly snorted and the power of the Devouring Hand burst out. In an instant, the Spiritual Magic Staff slightly deformed, and countless runes flew out as the magic staff engraved on it deformed.
This was the sign of the Magic Tool collapsing.
At this time, it wasn't just Suyass, even Barlow, who had been unhappy with Lin Yun, couldn't help worrying for the young mage. If the Magic Tool collapsed, the young mage would lose his final support and would have no choice but to face the terrifying Devouring Hand.
Time seemed to freeze at this time.
The atmosphere in the laboratory was stifling.
One second, one second …
In the end, the Devouring Hand's power thoroughly destroyed the array of the Spiritual Magic Staff. In that split second, everyone seemed to hear a mournful wail. That was the sound of the Spiritual Magic Tool falling.
"Ah …" The pale Suyass sighed. A Spiritual Magic Tool had fallen just like that.
What a pity …
But then, Suyass suddenly noticed that the young High Mage who had just lost a Spiritual Magic Tool wasn't distressed or annoyed. Instead, he was smiling.
"Thank you, Sir Herman." At this time, the array on the Spiritual Magic Staff had already collapsed. The esteemed Spiritual Magic Tool had become an ordinary item, but Lin Yun unexpectedly said "Thank you".
'Yes, thank you …'
At this time, everyone thought that they had misheard.
'Is that young mage crazy? The Spiritual Magic Tool in his hand has become an ordinary item, and he could lose his life to the Devouring Hand at any time. How could he suddenly say thank you at such a time?'
But they didn't have time to think about it, because Lin Yun had already put away the Spiritual Magic Staff. At the same time, his Magic Array revolved at full speed, and with the addition of the two Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, the mana pouring out could only be described as frightening. It was like a flood had opened the floodgates and was crazily attacking the Devouring Hand.
"Ridiculous!" At first, Herman had a sneer on his face.
It wasn't that Herman hadn't encountered this kind of desperate fight before. In fact, Herman had met this kind of opponent more than once in his previous battles. They would burn all their power at the last moment, vainly trying to use this method to reverse the situation.
But unfortunately …
No one had ever succeeded. Even those who had reached the Archmage realm had no choice but to die in front of the Devouring Hand.
Not to mention a young mage in his twenties …
'That's right, that young mage is truly amazing. He actually persisted until now in front of the Devouring Hand. Although he lost a Spiritual Magic Tool, this kind of performance is worthy of Herman's admiration.
Of course, it was just a different level of respect.
Being in his twenties meant that his mana accumulation couldn't compare to Herman's. Under such circumstances, no matter how he burst out, no matter how he counterattacked, it would only be a joke.
