The Annihilation Space rapidly spread and instantly expanded to the point where it came in contact with the Ancestor Soul's shoulder. Then, that pitch-black hole was like the mouth of a giant beast as it devoured a large chunk of the Ancestor Soul's shoulder.
In an instant, the Ancestor Soul's right arm fell down.
When its arm had been torn apart, the Ancestor Soul had only been angry, but it hadn't been afraid. But now, a trace of fear could be seen on its face.
Because the power contained within the devoured part had been completely annihilated!
In other words, its power had been thoroughly devoured, and a part of it had disappeared forever!
At this time, the Ancestor Soul thoroughly gave up on attacking Lin Yun and turned to escape.
Lin Yun paled as the Ancestor Soul escaped. This kind of head-on battle consumed too much mana, and if he didn't pay a disastrous price, he wouldn't be able to destroy that Ancestor Soul.
With a Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun didn't need to worry about mana consumption, because that Natural Demiplane could continuously replenish Lin Yun's mana.
But Lin Yun's body couldn't bear it. Now, he was exhausting all his mana in less than ten seconds and frantically replenishing it. After a few times, Lin Yun's body wouldn't be able to bear it.
The frantic mana wash brought huge pressure. If this pressure was spread out over enough time, Lin Yun would be able to fight forever. But if the time was compressed to a few seconds, his mana wouldn't be an issue, but the mental pressure would crush him.
To put it bluntly, his body wasn't tired, but his mind was.
Dephew was stunned by Lin Yun's sudden burst of power.
He had been watching Lin Yun's fight from a distance, and he hadn't expected that Lin Yun's fighting power would be that high. He was actually able to clash head-on with the Ancestor Soul. At first, he had thought that Lin Yun was going to commit suicide, but he hadn't expected that he would actually force the Ancestor Soul to retreat.
Forcing the Ancestor Soul to retreat on its own …
At this time, Dephew seemed to recall that Hören seemed to have told him before, but he had never believed him. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was instantly stunned …
It wasn't just Dephew who was stunned. Everyone was stunned when they saw that huge Ancestor Soul take the initiative to retreat.
After all, this Ancestor Soul was regarded as one of the protectors of the Raging Flame Plane not only because of its frightening power, but also because the Ancestor Soul was very difficult to kill. It was the convergence of the faith of the Raging Flame Beastmen for tens of thousands of years. It was a pure soul without a body, and it could be said that it didn't have any fatal weaknesses. It could recover even if its head was blown apart.
Any injury would only consume power, it couldn't be killed in one hit. The Ancestor Soul was almost immortal, and its power reserves were incomparably huge. It could be said to be endless compared to any mage, and no mage could compete with this Ancestor Soul in terms of power consumption.
The Ancestor Soul taking the initiative to retreat meant that Lin Yun had the power to thoroughly kill this Ancestor Soul, making it feel fear.
And in the distance, Hören, who was fighting, had a dark expression, as if he had been cursed by a darkness curse.
Hören knew that the situation wasn't good when the Ancestor Soul looked for Lin Yun and Lin Yun took the initiative to meet it head-on.
'It's over, it's truly over this time …'
Merlin was a person who calculated power to the finest degree. He never wasted much power in every battle. He definitely wouldn't use the power of an Archmage to waste mana when dealing with a High Mage.
But now, he was facing the Ancestor Soul head-on, disregarding energy consumption. Merlin was truly enraged this time.
'What did that idiot Dephew do? He made Merlin, who always used the smallest price to obtain the greatest results, use such a reckless method to deal with the Beastman Ancestor Soul. If he wasn't thoroughly enraged, then what was?
'That idiot Dephew is still standing there. Don't tell me that he doesn't know how to run?
Don't you know that Merlin is doing this in order to get rid of the Ancestor Soul as quickly as possible? Don't you know what he's going to do next?
'It's over, it's truly over this time …'
Merlin had a very good temperament. He usually wouldn't get angry if someone took advantage of him, but once he got angry, no one could stop him.
'That idiot Dephew will die miserably this time. I'm afraid Merlin won't be lenient this time …
'Wrong, Merlin definitely won't be lenient …
'Not getting rid of that idiot Dephew last time was already giving me a lot of face, but that idiot Dephew is still provoking Merlin …
'Eh, what should I do? Although Dephew is an idiot, he is still a member of the Black Tower's Holy Land, and he is also the leader of the Holy Land's reinforcements.
'No matter what, I can't just watch him die. But what should I do? This time, Merlin definitely won't give me any face. If I intervene, based on Merlin's temperament, I'm afraid that even I will be suppressed.
'Merlin's current power is too powerful. He's already not something an ordinary 9th Rank Archmage can compare to. If we fight, I might not be his opponent.
'If I intervene, there would be no turning back. I'm not an idiot to fall out with Merlin for that idiot Dephew …'
'But Dephew can't die. Although he's stupid, his teacher is a true Heaven Rank powerhouse. The person that Lin Yun suppressed last time was the disciple of that Heaven Rank powerhouse.
'He didn't die, he was only suppressed, so there's still room for maneuver. If Dephew died, that Heaven Rank powerhouse would definitely be furious, and it would be very troublesome then.
'Moreover, the Raging Flame Plane is at a critical moment. The Heaven Rank powerhouse sent by the Black Tower's Holy Land should be Dephew's teacher.
'If Dephew is killed by Merlin, that existence will definitely personally deal with Merlin.
'No matter how powerful Merlin is, he can't be the opponent of a true Heaven Rank powerhouse.
'It would be very troublesome if Merlin died.
'At that time, a civil war would erupt. Let alone dealing with the Raging Flame Beastmen, let alone the bet with the Odin Kingdom.'
'Although the Merlin Family has been low-key for the past few years, that Merlin was a true Heaven Rank powerhouse. He shocked all of Okland back then and saved the declining Merlin Family. Who knows what rank of powerhouse he is now?'
'At that time, a civil war might really erupt.
'Everything in the Raging Flame Plane would have nothing to do with Andalusia. There might even be an unprecedented war within the kingdom.
'Moreover, none of Merlin's subordinates are weak. If Merlin dies, they might not care about the Raging Flame Plane or the Andalusia Kingdom.
'Especially Merlin's huge battleship … I don't know where it is now. If Merlin dies, his subordinates might retaliate …
'Those losses …'
As he thought of the possible outcome, the usually calm Hören paled. The more he understood, the more afraid he became.
'Dephew can't die. Even if he dies, he can't die at Merlin's hands …'
Hören was extremely anxious. He clenched his teeth and frantically attacked the three Beastman Warlords besieging him in order to quickly break away and prevent what would happen next.
But when Lin Yun started clashing with the Ancestor Soul, Hören burst out with all his strength and attacked the three Beastman Warlords without caring about consumption.
But he couldn't quickly end the fight.
He had already killed a Sword Saint Warlord and would soon be able to break away from the remaining two Beastman Warlords. Lin Yun had already forced back the Ancestor Soul.
Hören was extremely anxious, but he couldn't do anything about it.
On the other side, Lin Yun had forced back the Ancestor Soul and hadn't even calmed down before turning to look at the distant Dephew.
Lin Yun flapped his Icefire Wings and flew to Dephew's side.
Dephew was startled. Lin Yun's fighting strength had startled him, but now, Dephew sneered and stood in place without any intention of escaping.
'Damned b * stard, so what if you are powerful? Would the Merlin Family dare to oppose our Black Tower's Holy Land?
'Hmpf, let alone the Holy Land, they aren't even comparable to the Black Tower. I tricked you, damned fool! Don't tell me you still dare to kill me?'
Dephew was fearless and didn't care about Lin Yun flying towards him. He raised his head and prepared to continue being stubborn.
But Lin Yun landed on the ground and scattered his Icefire Wings. He indifferently looked at Dephew, his expression calm as if he was looking at a Pig Beastman's corpse.
Before Dephew could say anything, Lin Yun opened his mouth and spat out a rune.
In an instant, the earth under Dephew's feet started shaking.
A grayish-brown earthen hand stretched out of the ground and grabbed at Dephew.
Dephew was startled and promptly flew up. He also activated his Runic Shield, which transformed into a sphere of flowing runes that enveloped him.
But Dephew didn't have time to reprimand Lin Yun before a flaming hand of ice grabbed him.
The seven-meter-long hand of ice was emitting a deep blue radiance. It was vivid and lifelike, and it was as slender as a well-maintained woman's hand. The veined patterns on its surface were clearly visible.
If one ignored the white flames burning on the palm of ice, they might really believe that it was the palm of a lifeform.
Holding Dephew's Runic Shield in his hand felt as if he was holding a ball that could shatter at any time. It looked light and powerless.
But even so, the runes on Dephew's Runic Shield were frantically flickering. Ripples kept circulating, and the Runic Shield's shape was constantly changing, as if it would shatter at any time.
