Just now, the mana emitted by that black object was unfathomably powerful. It gave him the feeling that he wasn't touching a piece of metal, but rather a Chromatic Dragon.
'Right, that's the feeling.'
'What is that thing …'
Lin Yun frowned. He was holding the black object in one hand, and it gave him a kind of apprehensive feeling. He tried to pour mana into it, but there was no reaction.
'That thing definitely isn't simple …'
He casually put the black object in his pocket and didn't care about it for the time being. He would slowly study it later.
By the time he came out of the control room, Delson and the others were already waiting by the furnace in the center of the alchemy workshop.
"What did you find?"
"High Mage Merlin, we found the passage to the 9th Floor …" Delson excitedly said. After going through the illusion of the 11th Floor, he originally thought that the 10th Floor would be filled with dangers, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy. Apart from the thousand puppets being a bit troublesome, the 10th Floor had almost no dangers.
Lin Yun nodded, but just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a powerful mana fluctuation and immediately turned to look at the huge furnace on the side.
At the same time, everyone present felt the mana fluctuations and turned to look at the furnace. Among them, Solan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the furnace in disbelief.
At this time, an extremely sorry looking silhouette suddenly rushed out of the huge furnace. That person's mage robe was in tatters and covered in blood. His hair was disheveled, and his face was pale. Most importantly, he emitted a thick aura of sulfur as he appeared.
'Could it be a Demon?'
Everyone was taken aback by his words.
But then, they noticed that the person rushing out of the furnace had two ashen flames on his back, emitting a sulfuric aura.
"Representative Weiss! How could it be you … "Delson exclaimed.
It couldn't be helped. The current Representative Weiss had changed too much. Back in the Line Canyon, this Representative Weiss had given everyone a mysterious feeling. But now …
He was no different from an old man past his prime.
This already couldn't be described as being in a sorry state. Everyone present recognized those two ashen flames, they were Withering Flames, flames from the Abyss. Once infected, it would be very difficult to extinguish the withering flames unless they reached the Heaven Rank. In the end, the withering flames would burn a person's soul to ashes before automatically extinguishing.
But Representative Weiss was now in such a predicament. Those two Withering Flames were continuously grinding away at his soul. If not for his formidable strength, he wouldn't have been able to last long.
Weiss' sudden appearance also startled Lin Yun. He actually came from the 10th floor of the magic tower …
'Where did he go before?'
William said that two months ago, Weiss had been chased by the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation in the Line Canyon. But after two months, Weiss actually managed to escape from the Incarnation's pursuit and used an unimaginable method to appear in the magic tower.
The fact that Whis was able to escape the pursuit of the Desolate Overlord's power incarnation was shocking enough. It had to be known that the three magic beasts were stronger than Whis, but even so, they still couldn't escape misfortune.
When the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation appeared, Lin Yun knew that the Incarnation's power was at least on the same level as Star Sage Joy.
However, Whis was able to escape from such a terrifying existence. Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
Even Lin Yun thought that the Black Tower's Weiss wouldn't be able to survive being chased by the Desolate Overlord.
However, Councilor Weiss seemed to be in big trouble. Those two Withering Flames were corroding his soul. Even with Weiss' strength, his soul would soon disappear unless a Heaven Rank powerhouse was willing to help him extinguish the Withering Flames.
"Solan Monchi!"
Weiss, who had just come out of the forge, was stunned when he saw so many acquaintances in the surroundings. But then, his gaze locked onto Solan, his eyes almost spurting flames. He roared and berserk mana fluctuations spread from his body. Countless wind spells flew towards Solan like a storm.
'That old man is stupid …'
When this scene fell into everyone's eyes, they were stunned. No one expected that things would develop like this. Whis and Solan, weren't they from the Black Tower? Moreover, the two of them had a master-disciple relationship and had been together for thirty to forty years. Their relationship should be very deep, so how could Weiss attack Solan without saying anything?
The only explanation was that this old man was stupid. Otherwise, why would he attack his beloved disciple?
After all, with Solan's current achievements, he was one of the top geniuses of the Black Tower. In the future, he would most likely enter the Council of Seven, and as Solan's teacher, Weiss would naturally feel proud … With such an outstanding disciple, Weiss couldn't wait to spoil him. But from the way he attacked, it was clear that he wanted to kill Solan!
Moreover, in any force, killing each other was unforgivable. Even if Whis was a member of the seven-member council, he would have to give a reasonable explanation for doing such a thing. Otherwise, he would be expelled from the Black Tower …
"Who told you to do such immoral things? Now, your retribution has arrived …"
But Xiuban, who was standing next to Lin Yun, wasn't surprised when he saw Weiss suddenly attacking Solan. He even showed his trademark schadenfreude as he muttered in a low voice while taking pleasure in Solan's misfortune.
"What did you say?" Lin Yun heard it clearly and couldn't help frowning. The Draconic Beastman seemed to know something.
"Ah?"
The Draconic Beastman was clearly startled when he saw Lin Yun frowning. He stood on the spot, trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
"What? Just tell me what you know …" Lin Yun frowned as he looked at Xiuban, inwardly shaking his head. 'This guy is a 9th Rank Expert Swordsman, yet he is still so timid.'
The Draconic Beastman sighed in relief, but he naturally didn't know that Lin Yun was secretly looking down on him. He pointed at Solan and said, "That guy is even worse than us Highland Beastmen. At the time, he was lying on the ground and was about to be killed by the Greater Demon Incarnation. It was the Black Tower's Weiss who saved him and wanted to escape with him. But he took advantage of the fact that Weiss wasn't paying attention and threw Weiss towards the Greater Demon Incarnation before escaping on his own and following us into the cave …"
A pondering smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun 'mouth. He truly hadn't expected Solan to make such a crazy move. He even tricked his own teacher, and it was to the point of death. No wonder Weiss ignored everyone when he appeared and rushed towards Solan.
Even Solan hadn't expected this outcome. He had been very secretive, and it was purely an accident for the Draconic Beastman to see him. Moreover, Weiss, who had been thrown towards the Desolate Overlord, had no chance of surviving.
But something unexpected happened …
This matter was exposed. Even if Weiss didn't kill him, he wouldn't have a foothold in the Black Tower.
In short, Solan was out of luck.
Weiss and Solan were fighting in the spacious alchemy workshop, while Lin Yun's group stood on the sidelines and watched the fight. No one planned to stop them.
Nothing could be done about it, everyone present didn't have a good impression of Weiss and Solan.
The members of the three mercenary groups held a grudge against Weiss and Weiss because they were conscripted to help their employer look for that thing. At this time, Delson and the others who were watching the fight couldn't wait for Solan and Weiss to die together.
As for Lin Yun, he didn't have a good impression of the two from the Black Tower. Solan's actions had already exceeded the limits of his tolerance. If not for the dangerous magic tower, he would have already killed Solan.
In the Line Canyon, Weiss first attacked him, and then at the critical moment, he tricked him. If he had reacted a bit slower, he might have already been killed by the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation.
Moreover, as Solan's teacher, Whis might know some secrets regarding the Bone Plane.
'What's going on …'
At this time, Lin Yun could clearly feel that Weiss was attacking Solan without holding anything back, but he still couldn't injure Solan. This discovery surprised him. He had personally experienced Weiss' strength. At that time, he had used the Magic Array to calculate that Weiss was a Peak 6th Rank Archmage, and with his strange wind techniques, his strength was comparable to that of a 7th Rank Archmage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to suppress Lin Yun to the point where he couldn't retaliate.
But now, he couldn't gain the upper hand against Solan.
This was a bit strange …
After all, even if Solan's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, he was still a 5th Rank Archmage, and his control over his power hadn't matured yet. Under such circumstances, it was a bit unscientific for him to be able to fight evenly with Weiss.
'Weiss' injuries seem very serious. I wonder what happened in the past two months … 'Lin Yun frowned as he looked at Weiss, who was continuously casting spells. He quickly discovered the problem. Weiss had unexpectedly fallen to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, and a part of his power was used to suppress the corrosion of the Withering Flames. Because of this, he couldn't defeat Solan, and if this trend continued, he might lose to Solan.
"Solan Monchi, you b * stard, I'll definitely kill you today!"
Weiss' expression was ashen, and as he spoke, a few gales appeared around his body. Following the appearance of the gales, the surrounding mana frantically surged, as if it was being pulled by an invisible force. Countless wind elements burst out of Weiss' body, and one High Tier Wind Spell after another swept towards Solan.
