The Lesser Flame Overlord let out a beast-like roar, its sinister and frightening aura spreading to every corner of the battlefield. A magma-like red liquid spurted out of the Lesser Flame Overlord's mouth. Sword Saint Dean barely dodged it, but when that magma-like red liquid fell on the ground, it created a pit and the red liquid kept boiling.
Dean's situation was the worst. His Protective Aura couldn't withstand a single blow from the Lesser Flame Overlord's scorching aura and he had to summon a large amount of Aura to support his Protective Aura. Especially that magma-like red liquid. Not long ago, he hadn't been able to dodge and his arm came in contact with it, turning half of his palm black.
And that was with his Protective Aura. If he hadn't, his entire arm would have been done for.
The two Archmages, Delson and Olaro, also displayed their formidable power. Dark and mysterious casting runes came out of their mouths and in a flash, a powerful flood of spells swept towards the Lesser Flame Overlord.
But the series of attacks didn't cause much damage to the Lesser Flame Overlord. It couldn't be helped, this lifeform from Hell's magic resistance was too high.
Anna, Orson, and the other High Mages also attacked the Lesser Flame Overlord from afar. In a short ten minutes, four or five High Mages couldn't dodge in time and were devoured by the magma-like red liquid, turning to ashes.
The peak powerhouses of the three mercenary groups were all at a disadvantage against this level 36 Lesser Flame Overlord.
One powerful Frost Arrow after another pierced through the air.
Rolf stood in the distance, his expression solemn as he kept repeating the movements of his hands. The power of a 3rd Rank Phantom Archer was vividly displayed in his arrows, especially his 100% accuracy, which greatly affected the Lesser Flame Overlord's movements.
Every Frost Arrow that fell on the Lesser Flame Overlord's body would make it sluggish.
He believed that although this battle would be a bit bitter, they would definitely win.
Another Frost Arrow flew out.
"It's that bastard …"
Rolf inadvertently saw a black silhouette and his gaze suddenly became sharp. His pupils slightly shrank. That person was wearing a black mage robe and holding a simple magic staff. He was in his early twenties and emitted the mana fluctuations of a 2nd Rank High Mage. Especially that smiling face that left a deep impression on Rolf …
He was all too familiar with that smiling face …
He even dreamed about it last night.
Not long ago, he had found traces of a Variant Black Lizard and was about to kill it to obtain its blood to temper those seven peak Spiritual Magic Tool Arrows, but someone had snatched it away at the crucial moment. And the young mage was the one who stole the blood of the Mutated Black Lizard.
Ralf moved quickly and arrived in front of the young mage.
Now that the three great mercenary groups were advancing towards the Tulan Mountain Range, they needed to maintain a close relationship with each other in order to ensure their safety. Thinking about what they had encountered along the way, if the three great mercenary groups split up and went their own ways, who knew how many times they would have been annihilated …
The first time the young mage appeared was on that chaotic battlefield. At that time, Ralf was wondering whether that scoundrel was from the Temple Knights or the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group.
Regardless of which mercenary group the young mage was from, Ralf couldn't rashly make a move. If he killed or injured the young mage, the Temple Knights or the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group would inevitably be dissatisfied with the Red Dragon Mercenary Group. That wasn't something Ralf wanted to see.
Ralf was a meticulous person and wouldn't let anger get to his head. Otherwise, the Red Dragon Mercenary Group wouldn't have been able to develop into one of Okland's three great mercenary forces in a short twenty years.
After calming down, Rolf's gaze moved away from the young mage and looked elsewhere. There was a pale young High Mage sitting there, his arm burned and resting.
With one glance, Ralf recognized him. This was the proud disciple of Vice Leader Olaro of the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, Orson. Aura burst out of his body and instantly pulled Orson over. He pointed at the young mage and said, "Orson, do you know this person? Is he from your Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group? If you know his name, tell me now. "
'If he isn't from the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, then he's definitely from the Temple Knights!'
'I'll investigate that scoundrel's background. Once this battle is over, I'll personally go to the other side's mercenary group. Whether it's Delson or Dean, they'll definitely give me some face. Not only will I be able to take back the Variant Black Lizard Blood, but I'll also drive that scoundrel out of the mercenary group. At that time, how I retaliate will depend on my mood.'
Orson was scared out of his wits when he recognized Lin Yun. He shivered and paled. 'Mafa Merlin, it's really Mafa Merlin!'
These days, Orson deliberately weakened his presence. When the three mercenary groups advanced into the depths of the Tulan Mountain Range, he always hid at the back and didn't rashly make a move when encountering a magic beast.
He did this to make Mafa Merlin forget him.
Vice Leader Delson investigated everything before finding him and scolding him hoarsely. If not for giving face to his teacher, Olaro, he might have already been expelled from the Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group.
He wanted to apologize, but he didn't dare.
Thinking of his previous actions, if he angered Mafa Merlin, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate. Even his teacher wouldn't be able to protect him.
He squeezed out a smile while greeting Rolf's ancestors before whispering, "Leader Rolf, this is Mafa Merlin, High Mage Merlin. He isn't a member of our Heaven Enlightening Mercenary Group, he is our most distinguished guest …"
"Mafa Merlin, right …" Hearing that name, Rolf nodded with satisfaction, ignoring the rest of Orson's words.
Everything would be easy as long as he knew his name.
Now really wasn't the time to talk. It had been two or three minutes since Rolf discovered Lin Yun. The battle not far away was very intense, and the Lesser Flame Overlord was still waiting for him to deal with it.
"Err, Sir Rolf, I think there is a misunderstanding between us …" Just as Rolf turned to deal with the Lesser Flame Overlord, Lin Yun, who had been standing there without saying a word, suddenly spoke.
"Misunderstanding?"
Rolf stiffened, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Mafa Merlin, what do you mean? Do you not want to admit that you stole my Mutant Black Lizard's blood? Haha, there's no point talking about this. I saw you steal it with my own eyes. Why? Do you think I, a Level-3 Phantom Shooter, would recognize the wrong person? "
'This Mafa Merlin is truly too ignorant. Stealing my Variant Black Lizard's Blood, yet saying it's a misunderstanding is enough to make me bury the hatchet?
This is clearly impossible … '
"Sir Rolf, regardless of whether you believe me or not, I have to tell you that the Variant Black Lizard's Blood has to be taken alive for it to have any effect. Even if the Variant Black Lizard died a second ago, its blood won't have any effect. "Sir Rolf, you can make a trip to the Mercury Tower when you have the time. It would be best if you could find a Master Alchemist to see if I'm right or wrong …" Lin Yun scratched his cheek. That was indeed the case that day. When he discovered that Rolf was aiming at the Variant Black Lizard, he had recklessly rushed over.
If he had been a second late, the Variant Black Lizard that he had encountered with great difficulty might have been destroyed by Rolf.
"Ridiculous, Mafa Merlin, hurry up and put away your pitiful cleverness. Do you think you can fool us by making up some lies? "That's impossible, I'm telling you, you don't need to quibble. I won't believe half a word of what you say! "Alright, let's settle our grudges in the future, I don't have the time to chat with you …"
Rolf truly didn't know anything about alchemy. He had accidentally found out that the Variant Black Lizard's Blood had boundless benefits when tempering Magic Tools. His seven arrows were at the peak of the Spiritual Magic Tool realm, so he started looking for Variant Black Lizards.
He simply didn't believe Lin Yun's words. In his eyes, Lin Yun was a scoundrel through and through, and he used those words as an excuse.
Whoever believed such a shoddy lie was an idiot.
"That …" Orson was cowering on the side. He wanted to say something, but he was hesitant and kept his head low.
"Say what you want to say, I don't have the time to waste with you."
"Leader Rolf, although I am only a Great Alchemist, I know a bit about Variant Black Lizards. Its blood truly needs to be extracted alive, or it will lose its effects …" Orson said as if he was walking on thin ice. He couldn't afford to offend either side. "Teacher personally told me this."
Perhaps because he was feeling guilty, or perhaps because he wanted to curry favor with Lin Yun, he said what he knew and kept his head low. He didn't dare to look at Lin Yun or Rolf.
He didn't dare to look at Lin Yun because he was afraid.
As for Rolf …
He clearly knew that Rolf's expression was very bad.
"…"
Rolf's expression wasn't just bad, he even felt like killing him to silence him.
After hearing Orson's words, he almost believed that Orson wouldn't dare to lie to him. This was really embarrassing …
This way, Mafa Merlin's actions couldn't be considered snatching the Variant Black Lizard. If it had been him, he would have unhesitatingly made a move if he had known that the Variant Black Lizard's blood needed to be extracted alive.
At this moment, a huge Mana Hand suddenly grabbed Ralf and Orson, who were caught off guard. In an instant, the Mana Aura within Ralf's body surged, but to his surprise, the Mana Hand didn't show any signs of collapsing …
