But then, he knew that this wasn't a magic beast or a ghost, but a living person, and a very powerful one at that.
A gust of wind rose up as the mysterious runes flickered in the dense fog. In a flash, a dozen lifelike pythons with a fishy smell pounced towards Lin Yun.
This was the 4th Tier Spell, Wind Python. Back in Thousand Sails City, the Cloud Tower's Magic Minister, 9th Rank High Mage Hoen, had used this spell to deal with him. But the person attacking him this time was clearly a lot more skilled than Hoen in the usage of Wind Pythons. Hoen had cast nine Wind Pythons, while this person had doubled that number to seventeen. With Lin Yun's insight, he could naturally see that this was already equivalent to the power of an Ultimate Wind Python.
Within the whistling gales, the seventeen Wind Pythons carried surging power as they charged towards Lin Yun. At this time, the Doom Staff in Lin Yun's hand flickered and a thin layer of Ice Armor rapidly spread over his body, rousing a cold aura. A loud rumble echoed as countless rocks and sand were sent flying. A white silhouette flashed out of the ruins, it was Lin Yun holding the Doom Staff. As he poured a shocking amount of mana into it, the tip of the staff blossomed with a dazzling light, followed by five Flame Bursts exploding towards a shadowy area.
"Eh?"
At this moment, a surprised voice rang out, and the mist receded like a tide, revealing an old figure. He wore a gray mage robe and held an ancient staff in his hand. His body was slightly bloated, and he looked to be in his seventies. At this time, he was looking at Lin Yun in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock. After all, the Wind Python Spell was his most proficient wind spell, and its power was already close to the limit. It wasn't any weaker than a 7th Tier Spell.
But …
The young mage in front of him only used Ice Armor to block his Wind Python. This was truly outrageous.
In a split second, he no longer dared to underestimate this young mage. He lightly raised his staff and burst out with astonishing power. Seven Instant Ice Walls appeared, firmly protecting himself. Crackling sounds could be heard as five Flame Bursts emitting a scorching aura exploded on the Ice Walls. In an instant, the seven Ice Walls melted under the high temperature. The Flame Bursts that penetrated the Ice Walls didn't lose any momentum as they flew straight towards the grey-robed old man.
"Shit …"
The grey-robed old man's complexion greatly changed as if he had seen a ghost, but he quickly calmed down. Countless runes rose in front of him and formed a huge shield. Then, the five Flame Bursts exploded on the grey-robed old man's Runic Shield. "Crack." The Runic Shield that had just appeared was already covered in fine cracks.
"That …"
The grey-robed old man no longer dared to hesitate. He buffed himself with Haste and quickly retreated. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the magic staff in the young mage's hands burst with a dazzling light once again as several Flame Bursts flew towards him. The grey-robed old man shivered in fear, his eyelids twitching. He didn't care about anything else at this time, he used every defensive spell he could think of.
The power of those Flame Bursts wasn't to be trifled with. If he was hit, his old bones might fall apart.
Soon, this battle lasted over ten minutes. The grey-robed old man wanted to say something several times, but he was interrupted every time, so he could only helplessly defend.
"Damn …"
The grey-robed old man's expression was ashen, he already had the urge to curse. At this moment, his robe was full of burn marks, and there were no less than 20 holes of various sizes. He was in an extremely sorry state. More importantly, the young mage's attacks were extremely fierce, forcing him to use defensive spells with all his strength. Apart from the Wind Python at the start, he hadn't been able to successfully cast an offensive spell in the past ten minutes.
Moreover, the mana within his body was gradually drying up, he could only cast a few defensive spells at most.
He was very worried …
He simply didn't care about losing face. As a few fierce spells flew over, he gathered all the remaining mana within his body and released an Elemental Shield, barely resisting. He took advantage of this opportunity and shouted, "Mafa Merlin, stop, stop! This is a misunderstanding, I'm a member of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land … "
Rio Merlin really wanted to bang his head against the wall and kill himself.
He was indeed an ancestor of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land. He had learned a few months ago that there was a young man named Mafa Merlin who would become one of the commanders of the Merlin Family's Planar Legion.
To be honest, he appreciated that young man, and he was even more startled when he heard about Lin Yun from Ofran. He was only in his twenties, yet he was already so powerful. He recalled how he had been working hard to become a High Mage when he was in his twenties.
He then heard that this young man was relying on the power of two True Spirit Magic Tools to contend against one of the three Sword Saints of the Merlin Family, Thorne Merlin. He was only a 1st Rank High Mage, and his strongest power was around the 4th Rank of the Archmage realm. There was still some gap between him and the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm. Such a powerhouse already had the qualifications to become a Planar Commander.
Because he appreciated that young man, Rio Merlin decided to test Lin Yun and waited in the canyon. When Lin Yun appeared in the canyon, he directly used the Wind Python, whose power was close to that of an Ultimate Mage. At the time, he was a bit hesitant. He had been a 5th Rank Archmage for many years, so he didn't know if he would injure that young man.
After all, that young man had boundless potential and was very valuable to the entire Merlin Family. Even as an ancestor of the Merlin Family, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility if something happened to him. After all, that young man had been summoned by that person in the Ancestral Land.
But Rio Merlin thought about it. Since it was a test, being restrained wouldn't have any effect. Moreover, that young man even had True Spirit Magic Tools, and two of them at that. He definitely had some trump cards that he hadn't revealed yet. With these thoughts in mind, Rio Merlin made his move.
Any 5th Rank Archmage would have no choice but to be cautious when facing a Wind Python that was close to an Ultimate Spell.
But …
Unimaginably, the young mage only used Ice Armor to block the Wind Python. But that wasn't all. What was even more strange was that the young mage's strength was a bit too strong …
He wasn't an ordinary 5th Rank Archmage. He had spent most of his time in the Ancestral Land studying magic. Even Patriarch Ofran, who was also a 5th Rank Archmage, could only last ten minutes against him.
But after exchanging blows with the young mage, his heart sank to the bottom. This couldn't be described as being at a disadvantage, he was completely crushed by the young mage. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that the young mage wasn't being ruthless. After one round of attacks, he would give him a chance to catch his breath.
"Damn, Ofran, you actually dared to trick me …" Rio Merlin truly hated Patriarch Ofran. This wasn't like what Ofran had said, that the young mage only had the power of a 4th Rank Archmage. If the young mage could even suppress him, then if he used another True Spirit Magic Tool, he might even have the opportunity to contend against a 6th Rank Archmage.
He couldn't help but hate Ofran, because this was too shameful. He was an esteemed ancestor of the Ancestral Land, he had a transcendent status, yet he tried to test a member of the younger generation of the Family, only to end up like this.
If this spread to the Ancestral Land, how would Rio Merlin be able to face others? He would definitely be laughed at by that group of old geezers.
But losing face was better than losing his life.
Who would have thought that such a young guy would be so ferocious? Even a 5th Rank Archmage like him was completely pressured …
"Nonsense, how could an ancestor of the Ancestral Land want to kill me …" A mocking expression appeared at the corner of Lin Yun 'mouth. A shocking mana fluctuation rose up as the Doom Staff burst with a dazzling light. In a flash, another powerful spell was cast.
"I, I … I didn't want to kill you, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I only wanted to test you. Mafa Merlin, I am Rio Merlin from the Ancestral Land. You have to believe me … "Seeing Lin Yun 'actions, Rio Merlin was scared half to death. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead and his gray robe was drenched as he nervously looked at Lin Yun. With his mana exhausted, even if he didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of his skin.
How could an old man like Rio, who had lived for close to a hundred years, not see that Lin Yun had long since believed in his ancestor's identity, but that kid seemed to hold a grudge. 'Damnit, I can't provoke that kid in the future.'
"Oh, turns out it's Sir Rio …"
Lin Yun scattering that mana made Rio Merlin sigh in relief, but before he could wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, Lin Yun's voice echoed once again. "But Sir Rio, if there is a next time, please let me know in advance so that I can be prepared …"
"Okay … No problem!"
The corner of Rio Merlin 'mouth twitched as he looked at Lin Yun with an unnatural expression.
'Next time?
Damn, how could there be a next time?
Do I look like the kind of person who likes to be abused? '
Naturally, he didn't have the confidence to say that because he knew that this youth didn't care about his identity as an ancestor, or else he wouldn't have teased him just now.
He had already asked for trouble once, how could there be a second time …
"Well, Mafa, we have already wasted a lot of time here, there are still a few old geezers waiting to see you in the Ancestral Land. How about I lead you there …" Rio Merlin took a deep breath and forced himself to speak as calmly as possible. "I really didn't expect you to be so outstanding, Merlin. You aren't inferior to Santon Merlin in the past. If those old geezers in the Ancestral Land knew about this, they would definitely be very happy …"
