"Mafa, don't be impulsive …" A bitter smile could be seen on Ofran's face.
There were so many people in the conference hall, but only a few people, including Ofran, knew how frightening that voice was.
Because Ofran had heard it very clearly.
"Who wants to hurt Hoyer?" It was just a few words, but each of them sounded closer than before. At the beginning, it was only faintly audible, but at the end, it sounded like a muffled thunder exploding in one's ears.
What did that mean?
This meant that Thorne Merlin was rushing over at a shocking speed. He had been a thousand kilometers away before, but he was already very close after saying those words. From this, it could be seen that Thorne Merlin had reached an inconceivable level.
Ofran couldn't help inwardly sighing as he thought of this.
Although the position of Patriarch was glorious, it didn't have any benefits for magic cultivation. He was already very diligent, but compared to Thorne, who had been stationed in the Raging Flame Plane and had been walking on the edge of life and death every day, he was far too lacking.
After all, when he had become an Archmage, Thorne Merlin had only been an 8th Rank Expert Swordsman.
But now, Ofran could tell from the voice that Thorne Merlin's strength was already above his own.
But this was also good …
Thorne Merlin's strength could at least intimidate that lawless Mafa Merlin. Otherwise, who knew how many people would have died in the conference hall due to his ruthless killing methods.
"Yeah, Cousin Mafa, don't be impulsive …" At this time, even Leon Merlin, who had been trying his best to reduce his presence, couldn't help weakly advising him.
As for the other Elders, they were all worried that Lin Yun would impulsively kill Aube Merlin. Once Thorne Merlin arrived, they might become the target of his anger.
"See, Mafa Merlin, I'll give you one last chance. Take advantage of the fact that my father hasn't returned to hand over the Gilded Rose, or else …" Sensing that familiar aura, Aube Merlin completely relaxed.
After proudly smiling, that young Master Alchemist no longer paid attention to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and instead tidied up his robe, which was soaked in cold sweat, before calmly sitting down on his seat.
Aube Merlin knew that his father would arrive within a minute.
Once his father arrived, today's Elder Council would immediately become a joke. Even Ofran, as the Patriarch, wouldn't dare to directly confront that Planar Legion Commander, let alone Mafa Merlin.
"Mafa Merlin, I advise you to make a decision now, you don't have much time left …"
"Indeed …" After thinking about it, Lin Yun raised his hand and took back the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel while nodding in agreement with Aube Merlin's opinion.
"Phew …" Seeing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel stop revolving, the entire conference hall sighed in relief.
Especially those Elders who had previously attacked Lin Yun …
It couldn't be helped. Facing a madman who had killed three elders in a row, everyone was under a lot of pressure. Who knew if he would get addicted to killing and casually kill all the elders in the clan's conference hall … ….
"Thank goodness …" Ofran heaved a sigh of relief.
But as the Patriarch, Ofran thought even further than the other Elders.
To the other Elders, Lin Yun stopping only meant that they were safe, but to Ofran, it meant that the Merlin Family had escaped a calamity.
The news brought by Link was too shocking …
Ofran knew that Mafa Merlin might have a terrifying background behind him. If he killed Aube Merlin, Thorne Merlin would inevitably retaliate. At that time, it would truly be troublesome. If Mafa Merlin's backer was drawn out, the entire Merlin Family might fall into turmoil.
'Fortunately, fortunately …'
'Fortunately, Mafa Merlin was rational enough to stop at such a crucial time.'
As he thought of this, Ofran couldn't help letting out a long sigh.
"It looks like Mafa Merlin is quite smart …" Seeing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel stop spinning, Aube Merlin's smile gradually widened. "How about it? Don't you want to consider my previous proposal? I'm a fair person, unlike Logan and the others. I won't monopolize your Gilded Rose. My previous promise still stands, 3,000,000 golds for 40% of the Gilded Rose's shares …"
"I'm sorry, Cousin Aube …" Lin Yun smiled as he shook his head. He put away the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel while smiling. "I don't like cooperating with dead people."
"Hmm?" Aube Merlin froze at first, then his smile stiffened. "What do you mean!"
"I mean, we don't have much time left …" As Lin Yun said that, he suddenly opened his clenched right hand and a ball of flames rose up. It was only the size of a fist, but the mana fluctuations it emitted made everyone tremble with fear.
"You … What are you doing!" Aube Merlin instantly paled. Even if he was slow, he could already feel the destructive aura of that ball of flames.
Unfortunately, Aube Merlin understood it a bit too late.
Just as he let out a cry of alarm, that ball of flames split into two and turned into two straight Fire Bolts. They crisscrossed and fiercely fell towards Aube Merlin like a pair of sharp scissors.
These two Fire Bolts were too fast, so fast that no one could react. Even Aube Merlin, a 5th Rank High Mage, only had enough time to raise a Runic Shield.
Then, two soft sounds echoed as the two Fire Bolts easily cut through the Runic Shield like butter. Under the blazing heat, Aube Merlin's robe instantly turned to ashes.
"Lynk!" Ofran was anxious and couldn't care less. He directly called out Lynk, who hadn't made a move in decades.
In that split second, Lynk displayed his true strength. A second ago, he was still standing next to Ofran, but a second later, he was already at Aube Merlin's side like a shadow. He didn't move, but two snow-white scimitars appeared in his hands as if by magic.
In a flash, dazzling sparks could be seen.
The two Fire Bolts streaked across the two snow-white scimitars.
Lynk's two scimitars were made of genuine Meteorite Magic Iron, a first-rate material used to forge weapons. They were at least Inheritance Magic Tools, not to mention that these two Meteorite Magic Iron scimitars were clearly engraved with complex arrays. They should be Spiritual Magic Tools at the very least.
But now, these two scimitars that had already reached the level of Spiritual Mastery only lasted for three seconds before they melted under the two Fire Bolts …
But these three seconds were a rare opportunity for Aube Merlin to catch his breath.
Aube Merlin cast an Ice Fire Shield.
At this time, he didn't care about the Fire Shield or the Ice Shield. He directly used the Fire Shield and the Ice Shield to meet the two Fire Bolts while hurriedly retreating.
The entire process was unimaginably fast. Aube Merlin had already retreated a few meters when the Ice Fire Shield collided with the two Fire Bolts.
"Phew …" Aube Merlin sighed in relief after doing this.
To Aube Merlin, these few meters were like a line between life and death. If he had stayed there, the two Fire Bolts would have instantly devoured him. But this distance was completely different.
Apart from being a 5th Rank High Mage, he was also a genuine Master Alchemist. As long as he had this distance, he would have countless ways to stall for time.
As he thought of this, a smile once again appeared on Aube Merlin's face.
"Mafa Merlin, I'll let you know what it means to be a Master Alchemist!" After saying this, Aube Merlin had already drawn an array in the air. That array perfectly covered the two Fire Bolts.
"Flame Suppression Array?" Among the elders, there was a knowledgeable person who called out this name.
Indeed, Aube Merlin was drawing a Flame Suppression Array.
A simple array with a single effect.
Its only effect was to suppress the activity of fire elements. As long as they were covered by the Flame Suppression Array, the power of any fire spell would be greatly reduced.
This array, which usually didn't have many uses, was now Aube Merlin's life-saving straw.
As the Flame Suppression Array was completed, the two Fire Bolts dimmed.
"Let's see what other tricks you have!" Aube Merlin sneered as he started chanting. All kinds of defensive spells started falling on Aube Merlin's body one after the other.
But …
The sneer on Aube's face didn't even have time to blossom when he suddenly saw a bright flash in front of his eyes.
Flames suddenly rose up and illuminated the entire conference hall. The blazing fire elements seemed to be flaring up, and everyone could feel the aura of destruction.
"Stop!" At the same time, an angry shout came from outside the conference hall. It was followed by a boundless Sword Aura tearing through the air, carrying a high temperature as it instantly tore through the thick walls of the conference hall.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
