The black mist above them was surging with thick death energy, as well as many sinister energies mixed within. The majestic aura of the palace was suddenly filled with a sinister aura.
A pair of eyes that looked like burning flames condensed in midair. The pitch-black flames flickered, filled with viciousness and hatred.
"Stupid mortal, I said that you will definitely die, definitely die!"
"Now, you can play with my servant first …"
The monster's voice echoed from all directions. The boundless black mist seemed to be boiling within the hall, and it only took a few seconds for the entire space to be infected.
The surroundings became pitch-black as Lin Yun gathered everyone together and used a Flame Barrier to protect them.
A few seconds later, all the black gas condensed into black pillars of smoke, and all the smoke pillars converged in front of them.
The smoke covering their line of sight slowly dissipated, and in front of them, a pale-faced Rhett Watson appeared.
That black smoke surged into Rhett's mouth, but it was too late.
A painful roar came out of Rhett's mouth as he floated up, his limbs stiffening. He raised his head and opened his mouth wide as a thick pillar of black smoke drilled into his mouth.
There were also other smaller pillars of smoke that entered Rhett's body through his ears, eyes, and nostrils.
Turbulent power started surging out of Rhett's body, and the formidable power made the space around him distort.
Rhett's rank could be seen rapidly rising, rising one rank in a few seconds.
6th Rank Archmage …
7th Rank Archmage …
8th Rank Archmage …
And it didn't stop!
By the time he crossed the threshold of the 9th Rank, all the black smoke had drilled into Rhett's body.
Lin Yun softly held his breath, his expression extremely solemn.
9th Rank Archmage …
This wasn't as simple as being one rank lower than the 8th Rank of the Archmage realm. After all, from the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm onwards, every increase in rank would be comparable to an increase in rank!
Not only would his mana frantically increase, but his casting ability would also greatly increase, and his understanding of magic would also greatly increase.
For most mages, the gap between each level could be described as suppression at this level.
Not every mage was like Mafa Merlin, who had casting ability and knowledge beyond this era, three first-rate Core Meditation Law Sets, the most powerful Magic Array, and a tailor-made True Spirit Magic Tool.
Lin Yun's trump cards could only be used to deal with an 8th Rank High Mage. The 9th Rank High Mage was a qualitative leap, the last step before reaching the Heaven Rank!
At the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm, it could be said that they had already condensed their own Laws. This was the key to suppressing those below the 9th Rank. This wasn't something that could be surpassed by ranks, it was something fundamental.
Lin Yun could get rid of some 8th Rank High Mages without paying any price, but he couldn't defeat a 9th Rank High High Mages. This was the fundamental reason.
When it came to Laws, even if it was just a little, the difference would be like the difference between heaven and earth.
Not to mention the current situation. Rhett had been possessed by that monster, and the monster's power was pouring into his body. This was a lot more troublesome than a mage that had just advanced to the 9th Rank of High Mage realm.
Zeuss, who was standing in the distance, saw Rhett and started tearing up, covering his face in pain.
Zeuss was in pain and fear. No one understood how frightening that monster was more than he did, especially when he saw that Rhett had advanced to the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm. Zeuss had already given up all hope, and he even felt a bit relieved.
'I might as well die, I'd rather die than live in pain …'
But Lin Yun and the others didn't have the energy to pay attention to Zeuss. This level 39 Rhett made them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even Anderfa, whose strength had just sharply increased, had a solemn expression. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was rapidly revolving, and a large number of spells were condensed at the fastest speed.
Countless Flame Lances, Fire Arrows, Fireballs, Fire Blades, Fire Dragons …
It turned into a four-meter-thick pillar of fire that exploded towards Rhett.
Unfortunately, the greatly increased power of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel couldn't cause any effective damage to Rhett Watson. A large number of spells seemed to have hit an invisible wall when they reached Rhett Watson and were blocked a few meters away.
"Damned mortal, so what if you can see through me a few times? You are dead!"
"Rhett" had a sinister expression as he glared at Lin Yun with hatred, gnashing his teeth.
Lin Yun suddenly understood. This monster's fake Xiuban and Rhett's Clone had most of its consciousness. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a huge grudge against him.
A vague guess appeared in Lin Yun's mind.
But he didn't have time to guess. After completing the possession, Rhett, whose strength had sharply increased to the 9th Rank of the High Mage realm, finally made his move.
With a wave of his hand, a pitch-black, sinister mouth appeared in front of Rhett.
There was nothing else, only a huge mouth of unknown species. Inside the mouth were hundreds of sharp, pitch-black teeth, and all of the teeth were covered in strange runes. Inside the huge mouth, there was nothing but churning black fog, nothing else.
An extremely simple bite was completely different in the hands of that monster.
That huge mouth suddenly opened and turned into a three-meter-wide hole that ruthlessly bit towards Anderfa's flood of spells.
"Snap …"
Those spells seemed to be solid as they were bitten off by that huge mouth, letting out shattering sounds.
The Flame Spear was directly bitten off, but that spell condensed from flames was like a real spear. It was forcibly snapped off, and there were even some hairs left where it had been bitten off.
The flood of spells was bitten off, and the part that had been bitten off was swallowed by that huge mouth.
Anderfa had a strange expression as he stopped casting, his voice trembling.
"Damnit, that monster actually treated my casting as a delicacy and swallowed my mana …"
Lin Yun 'expression was very unsightly. Swallowing a spell that had been successfully cast, and even its mana, this was something he had never heard of before.
The mana contained within a spell that had been successfully cast was completely different from ordinary mana.
He had heard of a lot of people absorbing mana, but that was the same as before, directly absorbing mana from a person's body.
Mana Steal, Mana Absorption, Mana Burn …
These spells all had this kind of effect, but they couldn't compare to that monster's tentacles. The speed at which that tentacle absorbed mana was too shocking, and it was a permanent absorption!
As for the other spells, the mana that was absorbed could be recovered on its own.
But he had never heard of absorbing mana from a spell.
Directly absorbing mana from a person's body was like eating plain white rice. It didn't taste that good, but it had real benefits.
Stealing mana from a completed spell was like tripping over a basin of coal cinders with a handful of rice, and then picking rice from the cinders to eat …
It was all cinders in one bite.
No spell could have this kind of effect.
"Damn, that monster's appetite isn't ordinary …"
Lin Yun couldn't help cursing.
After swallowing a few spells, he could feel that the monster had become a bit stronger.
But despite knowing this, everyone simply couldn't stop casting. Only Xiuban was unscrupulously swinging Carnage at the monster. Unfortunately, he couldn't even get close to a 9th Rank High Mage.
The monster sneered and waved its hand, causing a huge mouth to appear next to it.
This time, it was a three-meter-tall mouth. If the previous one was the mouth of an Ogre, then this one was the mouth of a Crocodile Dragon!
That huge mouth opened wide and flew towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun cast a Bursting Flames, and the huge mouth unhesitantly swallowed the Bursting Flames. Two explosions echoed, but it only made the huge mouth swell a bit. On the contrary, the mana within the Bursting Flames made the huge mouth a bit stronger.
Lin Yun frowned and cast three Bursting Flames in a row. The three Bursting Flames exploded at the same time, surpassing the limit of the mouth and loudly exploding.
But the exploded mouth turned into a large amount of black mist that flew back to the monster. The monster casually waved its hand and condensed an even more powerful mouth.
This was an extremely disgusting ability. The other side would only become stronger and stronger. The more you attacked, the stronger the other side would become. But if you passively defended, you would be suppressed to death.
The other side was a 9th Rank High Mage, and no matter how strange it was, it was still a genuine 9th Rank High Mage.
The monster sneered again and again. It didn't even use a defensive spell. Instead, eight fangs condensed on its side, just like the Crocodile Dragon's mouth. When encountering a spell, it would take the initiative to devour it and transform it into its own power.
"I said you are screwed. I can't deceive you this time, and I don't need to deceive you, because absolute strength is enough to kill you …"
The monster let out a perverted laugh, its expression extremely distorted.
Suddenly, the monster raised its hands and flicked its fingers as if it was playing a piece of music. In an instant, thirty to forty Wind Blades flew out of the monster's fingertips.
The strange pitch-black Wind Blades turned into a storm of Wind Blades. Everyone was on guard, no one dared to look down on these small Wind Blades.
Lin Yun decisively cast a Runic Shield, and the runes surged in front of him. After doing that, Lin Yun kept moving to avoid those strange black Wind Blades.
He dodged most of the Wind Blades, but he still couldn't avoid a few.
