Since he couldn't persuade Suval, Lin Yun didn't say anything else. He stood there with a frown as he watched Suval's receding back, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
As for Whis, he was standing on the side, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had already cursed Suval countless times in his heart. 'Damnit, although it's the truth, can't you be a bit more reserved? Maybe you shouldn't have said it …
'Didn't you see how obedient I was in front of Mafa Merlin for the past half a month? Not long ago, I even gave Mafa Merlin the tents made by the Thawing Fire Tribe's fire magic beasts. That was a huge fortune. Didn't I make those sacrifices to establish a friendship with Mafa Merlin?
'I managed to establish a pretty good friendship with Mafa Merlin with great difficulty, but you blabbered on and even threatened me …'
'Even if Mafa Merlin learns the truth, the Black Tower can still make up for it afterwards to restore that fragile friendship. But aren't you clearly telling Mafa Merlin that our Black Tower is using you?
'This is troublesome …'
'What Sir Hören fears the most is the mysterious Heaven Rank powerhouse behind Mafa Merlin. If that Heaven Rank powerhouse gets angry and comes knocking, the Black Tower will run out of luck.'
But Suval didn't know about Whis' worries. He was happily walking towards the altar, looking at the Tribal Chief with disdain as he shook his head and sneered, "Haha, I really can't figure out where your courage comes from. You are already at this point, yet you still dare to be so unyielding. Is it for your so-called dignity? Ridiculous … "
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the usually calm tribal chief let out a roar of rage. His body flickered with dark-red magical symbols, emitting an incomparably scorching aura. The totem in front of him suddenly trembled, and at the top of the totem was a terrifying ball of flame. It split apart and then exploded. Terrifying energy rippled out, and everyone could vaguely see a translucent figure appear in mid-air ….
Everyone, including Lin Yun, felt their hearts palpitate as they faced that translucent figure.
The ripples emitted by that figure were simply too terrifying …
It made everyone feel that they were undefeatable …
It was at this moment that the translucent figure suddenly grew dim, and then rapidly descended, merging into the tribal chief's body. In the blink of an eye, the tribal chief's power underwent a heaven-shaking, earth-toppling transformation. The magical symbols on his body flickered intensely, almost as if they were on the verge of burning. The terrifying heat spread to every corner of his body ….
His eyes, which were originally light red, had already turned completely dark red. They looked somewhat empty and lifeless. The tribal chief fiercely grabbed the totem in front of him with one of his rough palms, while his other hand was holding a one-handed hatchet with dark-red flames wrapped around it.
"Die!"
The Tribal Chief let out a roar, and a terrifying shockwave surged out. He leaped up from the altar and stomped heavily on the ground. With a loud rumble, a huge crater appeared under his feet, and large pieces of gravel were sent flying. His momentum was extremely great.
Naturally, this was only the beginning …
An explosion echoed as the hatchet covered in flames was instantly thrown out. The hatchet's flying speed was faster than lightning, and it kept tearing through the air. In an instant, the flames flew towards Suval, who was a few dozen meters away!
'Fuck …'
This sudden change made Suval's mind go blank. He was scared half to death when he sensed the power of that hatchet. The power displayed by the Tribal Chief completely exceeded his imagination. It was too powerful, too frightening. He suddenly felt numb. 'How should I face such a frightening attack?'
But he didn't have time to think about this. He let out a shriek and raised the simple magic staff in his hand. In an instant, the staff blossomed with a dazzling light as he subconsciously released the Elemental Shield, known as the strongest defensive spell of the Archmage realm. But he still felt that it wasn't safe, so numerous runes rose up and instantly formed a Runic Shield.
Then, there was a "boom" sound ….
The flaming hatchet directly pierced through the Elemental Shield like a scorching sun. Countless runes rose up to resist the impact of the hatchet, but it was to no avail. In less than a second, the Runic Shield darkened as the hatchet heavily smashed into Suval's chest.
In an instant, the dozen defensive spells enchanted on Suval's body were completely destroyed.
Suval didn't struggle, nor did he scream. He was sent flying like a kite with its string cut before crashing into the ground a few dozen meters away, raising a cloud of dust. Suval, who was lying on the ground, had an alarmed expression as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Apart from Suval's coughing, it was as if the entire world was silent. Everyone was looking at the Tribal Chief with deep fear.
This was too frightening …
It only took one attack to seriously injure Suval, a 7th Rank Archmage!
What kind of concept was this?
This showed that the Tribal Chief's strength had already undergone an earth-shattering change. He far surpassed the 7th Rank of the Archmage realm. The power he burst out with just now was most likely at the 8th Rank of the Archmage realm!
8th Rank of the Archmage realm …
Such a powerhouse was rare even in the entire Andalusia Kingdom. It could be seen from the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land. Apart from Lin Yun, only Oren Merlin and Ryan Merlin were at the 8th Rank of the Archmage realm, while the others were around the 6th or 7th Rank.
'Terrible …'
Lin Yun had a serious expression as he frowned, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Even from his point of view, he felt that the problem was very troublesome.
He could naturally see that the Tribal Chief had used the totem to communicate with a mysterious existence, thus sharply increasing his power. And that mysterious existence was most likely the ancestor of the Thawing Fire Tribe!
The power of a certain ancestor had used the totem as a medium to descend into the Tribal Chief's body, and the current Tribal Chief was no longer the original Tribal Chief.
The Beastman Tribes generally followed the teachings of Shamans, which were divided into two aspects. The first was the elements. This wasn't hard to understand, as it was their own elemental power. For example, the Beastman Mages of the Raging Flame Plane had extremely powerful fire control abilities. They had a huge innate advantage when it came to summoning Fire Elementals.
On the other hand, it was a bit more special. Every tribe would worship their ancestors, producing a kind of power similar to faith. After thousands of years of accumulation, the remnant souls of the ancestors, or the ancestors themselves, would constantly bathe in this power and become very powerful. When the tribe was in danger, the ancestors would use some special method to descend.
Clearly, the Tribal Chief had just used the totem to summon an ancestor, and the price of summoning an ancestor was death.
This explained everything. In the battle yesterday, the Tribal Chief knew that the Thawing Fire Tribe had no chance of winning, so he had been hiding in the Holy Land, waiting for their team to arrive. He even used his life to summon the power of the ancestors to avenge the deaths of his clansmen.
This was a secret that had been planned for a long time.
"Damn …"
Suval fished out a small potion bottle from his chest pocket, and a light blue liquid flowed out of the bottle, emitting shocking mana fluctuations. The originally weak and seriously injured Suval's complexion gradually turned rosy after drinking that potion.
He cursed fiercely, and when he looked at the Tribal Chief again, his face couldn't help but turn pale. That level of terrifying power still left a lingering fear in his heart. If he had only cast an Elemental Shield at that time, he might have already died.
It was only now that he finally understood what the young mage meant when he said 'wait a minute'.
As he thought of this, Suval couldn't help glaring at Lin Yun, feeling resentful. 'Fuck, since you knew it was strange, why didn't you say it clearly? How could I have known what it meant?'
Suval couldn't help but hate Lin Yun even more.
"Rumble …"
A Fire Dragon coiled around the one-handed axe and landed in the Tribal Chief's hand. He immediately brandished the axe and turned into a red silhouette, sweeping with terrifying heat as he charged towards the group. Every time he attacked, his power would be extremely frightening. Even if this team was made up of over ten Archmages, it was very strenuous for them to deal with the fierce Tribal Chief.
After all, the power that the Tribal Chief burst out with was that of an 8th Rank Archmage, while Suval, the strongest in the group, was only at the 7th Rank. He had been seriously injured before and had to rely on a precious potion to recover a portion of his strength. The power he was displaying now seemed to be at the 6th Rank of the Archmage realm.
Apart from that, there was also 6th Rank Archmage Weiss, 5th Rank Sword Saint Thorne, Merlin, and Lin Yun.
The remaining people were all Low Rank Archmages. These people might be famous powerhouses in the outside world, but in front of the Tribal Chief's frightening power, they were like cannon fodder. If they were careless, they might lose their lives.
The blazing fire elements in the surroundings seemed to be boiling as a destructive aura rose up. The Crimson Flame Sword Saint Thorne Merlin's greatsword was burning with raging flames as he used a boundless Sword Aura to tear through the air and attack the Tribal Chief.
A rumbling sound echoed. The Tribal Chief's body only stiffened from such a fierce attack. The runes on his body fiercely flickered, but he wasn't affected at all. He raised his flaming axe high up and clashed with Thorne Merlin's Crimson Flame Sword. In a flash, Thorne Merlin's hands were pushed back a few dozen steps by the fierce impact before he managed to stabilize himself.
