Herman didn't even spend too much effort to deal with it.
He only increased the power of the Devouring Hand and allowed the surging mana to pour into his body.
Time passed second by second …
At this time, a large amount of mana had already poured into Herman's body. Whether it was Suyass or Balor, they could clearly see that Herman's body was expanding. His robes were fluttering in the wind, and Herman looked like a balloon filled with air. It was comical and ridiculous.
But Suyass and Balor didn't laugh.
Because they knew that the comical and ridiculous Herman was actually in his most frightening state. Because what was filling Herman's body wasn't air, but pure mana.
If it burst out, it would be able to destroy heaven and earth.
In fact, Suyass and Balor could already feel an earth-shattering aura brewing. Although Herman was still concentrating on maintaining the Devouring Hand, Suyass knew that as long as Herman's mana accumulation reached a critical point, what awaited them would inevitably be a despairing explosion.
Only Suyass, who had personally experienced the Devouring Hand, knew that …
This was the most frightening aspect of the Devouring Hand.
Suyass had personally seen Herman fight a Level 30 magic beast in the forest of the Golden Forest Plane. At the time, Herman, who was only a 9th Rank High Mage, forcibly devoured most of that magic beast's mana before using it to burst out and kill that magic beast in one fell swoop.
That battle had left a very deep impression on Suyass.
The power Herman burst out with at the last moment far exceeded his rank at the time. That was an attack that broke through his limits. An esteemed Level 30 magic beast let out a blood-curdling screech before falling at Herman's feet.
At that time, Suyass, who had deliberately attracted the Level 30 magic beast in order to escape, was so shocked that he even forgot to escape.
Now, the mana brought by the Devouring Hand once again filled Herman's body.
Suyass knew that the young High Mage didn't have much time left. If he couldn't counterattack, he might end up like that Level 30 magic beast, despairing in front of Herman's burst.
"Kid, you don't have much time left …" The Devouring Hand frantically extracted the surging mana. Feeling the familiar feeling of mana flowing through his body, Herman once again sneered.
Herman had already devoured enough mana. The mana contained in that Spiritual Magic Tool had been too shocking. Herman was now confident that if he used that mana to burst out, he would be able to defeat an Archmage like Suyass, let alone this young mage.
But Herman wasn't in a hurry …
Herman was still maintaining the Devouring Hand.
Herman wanted to see the young mage walk into despair step by step. He wanted to see the helpless expression on his face, just like the opponents he had faced in the past.
The entire Black Tower knew that Herman's greatest pleasure and hobby was to torture those Gaugass Barbarians and watch them cry in despair.
But this time, Herman had miscalculated …
The Devouring Hand had already been roused to its limits, and the huge amount of mana was like a river bursting its banks, crazily surging over. But the young mage in front of him wasn't panicking at all. Instead, he smiled at him.
"Yeah, I don't have much time left. It's a pity that I can't properly research this interesting ability …"
"Hmm?" Herman didn't know why, but when he heard that young mage say those words in an understated and even mocking tone, Herman suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
This kind of feeling was too rare for Herman.
Herman carefully recalled that it was only a few years ago when he had entered the Golden Forest Plane's Somu Demon City to steal the Abyssal Evil Dragon's eyeball, but he had been targeted by the terrifying Dark Elven Queen.
Yes, these two feelings were too similar.
All of them were equally hair-raising …
But why?
A Gaugass Barbarian, a young mage in his twenties, how could he have such a feeling?
Unfortunately, Herman didn't have time to think about it.
Because in the next moment, Herman suddenly discovered that the mana within his body had become extremely chaotic. It felt as if countless vipers had drilled into his body and were frantically twisting and tearing at him.
In a flash, Herman's back was drenched in cold sweat.
Herman was panicking. It wasn't like Herman hadn't encountered mana chaos before. After all, a sinister ability like the Devouring Hand wasn't something a mage should have. That ability was too sinister and dangerous, so Herman never thought of taking possession of the mana absorbed by the Devouring Hand. Herman had only used that mana to burst out.
It was because of this cautiousness that Herman managed to survive from one danger after another.
In the past, Herman had also encountered a situation where his mana was chaotic.
But it was Herman's first time encountering something as chaotic and bizarre as today.
That incomparable pain surpassed all the tortures in this world.
Panic, fear …
Herman's expression suddenly became incomparably brilliant.
'Why is this happening?'
Herman seemed to have gone crazy. A painful roar came from the depths of his throat as he staggered a few steps back. He pointed at Lin Yun with one hand while covering his chest with the other. He tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out.
"I told you, it's truly regretful …" Lin Yun shook his head with a regretful expression.
At this time, only Lin Yun knew that he was truly regretful.
Herman's Devouring Hand was too rare. Even Lin Yun, who had the foresight and experience of this era, was seeing it for the first time.
Lin Yun really wanted to research this strange ability.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that opportunity.
This time, Lin Yun used the Magic Array. Ten Magic Arrays meant ten different kinds of mana, as well as two Alchemic Mana Whirlpools. In other words, Lin Yun had used as many as twelve kinds of mana.
What kind of concept was twelve?
It was equivalent to Herman devouring the mana of twelve mages in a very short time. If this didn't result in mana chaos, then the Devouring Hand could truly be said to be unparalleled.
If the Spiritual Magic Staff was added to the mix, the result would be obvious.
"I'm very curious, what is your Meditation Law Set …" Lin Yun smiled as he stood in front of Herman. He had already restrained all his mana and didn't use an Icicle or Wind Blade to end the fight. He also didn't use a shield to defend. It was as if he had truly forgotten that the two of them had been fighting to the death not long ago.
Because Lin Yun knew that it was no longer necessary.
Herman had already been tormented by the twelve kinds of mana chaos to the point where he was almost crippled. Let alone counterattacking Lin Yun, even moving a finger would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
But Lin Yun didn't immediately make a move against the defenseless Herman. He didn't use an Icicle to pierce his chest, nor did he use a Wind Blade to slit his throat.
Because Lin Yun was still somewhat curious about the Devouring Hand.
"Haha …" Herman let out a bitter laugh, but he didn't even look at Lin Yun.
This was the dignity of an Archmage.
Which of the mages that could enter the Archmage realm wasn't a dazzling genius? Even in such a desperate situation, Herman wasn't willing to lower his head.
Not to mention that he was lowering his head to a barbarian from Gaugass.
"You … You want to know? Ha … Haha … "Herman, who had been tortured by the chaotic mana, had completely lost his previous demeanor, but his voice still carried a bone-chilling hatred." Sure … Sure, come with me to the Black Tower, I'll … I'll let those mages in the Obsidian Dungeon tell you what Meditation … What Meditation Law Set is … "
"No need to go through so much trouble …" Lin Yun smiled. He then ignored Herman lying on the ground and softly rubbed the ring on his ring finger.
"Fuck, don't you want Lord Shawn to sleep …" The Ghost Wolf's silhouette appeared once again. Compared to the first time Lin Yun had seen it, its silhouette was a lot more condensed. Lin Yun knew that this was the result of a large amount of mana crystals, especially that spirit mana crystal. It had saved Lord Shawn, who had almost fallen in rank that day.
Even if Lord Shawn hadn't recovered to his peak, he wasn't far from it.
A small matter like extorting a confession shouldn't be a problem for him.
"Help Sir Herman, make him recall the Meditation Law Set he learned. As for the reward, I'll give you a mana crystal that's at least level 25 …"
After saying this, Lin Yun didn't care about Lord Shawn torturing Herman and directly smiled at Suyass. "Sir Suyass, long time no see. You should be in charge of handling my magic materials, right?"
"Merlin, long time no see …" Suyass smiled, but this smile was somewhat bitter.
After returning from the Four Seasons Canyon, although Suyass had been shocked by the power of this young High Mage, he had kept a respectful distance most of the time. 'If I can't provoke you, I can at least hide, right?'
But today, Suyass knew that he couldn't hide.
