End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: You’ll Understand Then

Lin Yun directly packed the temporary camp and threw everything into the Demiplane before leading everyone in the direction indicated by the invitation card.

They rushed forward while killing all the Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts on their way. By the time they reached the Burning Tower’s camp, every other force had already arrived.

In the center of the temporary camp was an eight-meter-tall device covered in all kinds of complex runes and arrays. It looked like a large number of components had been piled together into a tall platform with four runic pillars around it.

That device was placed at the highest part of the temporary camp and couldn’t be missed. It was emitting thick mana fluctuations, and anyone seeing it would feel that it was a powerful alchemical device.

Lin Yun grinned, and he looked ready to enjoy a good show.

The crudest and simplest device to guide the fusion… This kind of device was just the most basic train of thought brought to completion.

It would be very interesting if they used this fusion.

Lin Yun threw a glance at this device and knew what would happen. He originally had no plans to meddle in other people’s business. Moreover, they wouldn’t even believe him if he kindly told them that this alchemy device was a failed product.

They might just think that Lin Yun was messing around, and it could even end up in a fight if something happened.

Furthermore, Lin Yun had heard from the others’ discussions that the one getting ready to use the device to complete the Extraordinary transformation was a mage from the Shadow Tower.

And thus, Lin Yun didn’t feel like intervening… He might as well watch the show. Even if he really forgot their past enmity to try and persuade him, Dylas definitely wouldn’t believe him.

The four forces of the Andlusa Kingdom and the six forces of the Odin Kingdom were all present. The Odin Kingdom’s people were all enthusiastically surrounding Dedale and Dylas.

On the side of the Andlusa Kingdom, Jouyi and Harren were together, while the Azurewave Sword Saint of the Andlusan Royal Family was calmly waiting in a corner.

From the appearance of Jouyi and Harren, it looked like they had been in a very difficult situation.

The two looked exhausted, and their mana was somewhat unstable. They had definitely been injured during these days and had frequently consumed their mana in battle to the point where they couldn’t rest and recover.

The three forces of the Andlusa Kingdom were all on another side, and from seeing Jouyi and Harren’s expressions, they had definitely been ridiculed by Dylas.

Lin Yun waved his hand at Harren and Jouyi.

This time, Jouyi no longer had that thick scholarly aura. He looked more like a mage that has undergone a very harsh test. Harren looked exhausted, and his eyes were flickering with anger. His proud demeanor as the Chairman of the Black Tower was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that these two were still alive, Lin Yun sighed in relief.

Morgan kept bringing news these days. There had already been sightings of three different Heaven Rank Beastmen, and there might be a 4th.

Considering the one that Lin Yun had burnt to death, there might have already been five Beastman powerhouses that had advanced to the Heaven Rank!

Jouyi and Harren originally had disastrous losses when their inherited True Spirit Magic Tools were destroyed. Even if they previously got some benefits from the temple, they couldn’t make up for that huge loss in power.

They had lost their Magic Tools, and their forces had also suffered disastrous losses. Hunting Heaven Rank Magic Beasts would be even more challenging. They could only look for lone Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, and they couldn’t provoke the ones with special abilities.

If something bad happened, they would lose the rest of their subordinates. At that time, they might no longer be able to leave the Raging Flame Battlefield alive.

Lin Yun looked at the two of them and sighed.

Seeing Lin Yun, Jouyi and Harren also sighed in relief.

“Sir Merlin, it’s good to see you again, this is really good. I thought we wouldn’t be able to find you. We both thought we would definitely all fall here…”

Jouyi had a complicated expression. Apparently, these days hadn’t been very good.

Harren was gnashing his teeth as he looked at the Odin Kingdom with a complicated expression.

“Whether it’s the number of powerhouses or the power of their forces, the Odin Kingdom is really stronger than our Andlusa Kingdom.

“We previously met a group of Beastmen with a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and if not for an admirable elder of the Cloud Tower who used Sacrifice to stop that Beastman with his vitality, Jouyi and I would have both been dead…

“Now, the Odin Kingdom found a way to use Beast God’s Blood, and their strength is bound to keep on growing. Even if we manage to come back alive, the fight over the Raging Flame Plane will definitely end up with our loss…”

Lin Yun sighed, “Sir Jouyi, Sir Harren, don’t be discouraged. The situation hasn’t reached that stage yet. You were just unlucky, and no one knows what will happen before the end…”

After saying that, Lin Yun glanced at the seemingly very powerful and complex alchemical device.

Jouyi and Harren glanced at each other meaningfully. Jouyi then took out a leather pouch imprinted with a seal and handed it to Lin Yun.

“Sir Merlin, those are the mana crystals Sir Harren and I have hunted together. There are a total of 88 mana crystals. We are now giving them to you.”

Lin Yun was somewhat stunned as he looked at Jouyi.

“Sir Jouyi, what are you doing? Your True Spirit Magic Tools have been destroyed… You could trade for a suitable True Spirit Magic Tool within the temple in order to increase your overall strength…”

Lin Yun didn’t have time to finish his words before Jouyi shook his head and sighed.

“Sir Merlin, we are aware. But Sir Harren and I have been thinking a lot during these days of fighting. At first, we were wondering how to hunt even more magic beasts.

“But later, we personally encountered a Heaven Rank Beastman able to fully use Extraordinary Power.

“We understood then that we wouldn’t be those Beastmen’s opponents no matter what we did, even if our True Spirit Magic Tools hadn’t been destroyed, never mind catching up to the Odin Kingdom…

“You are the strongest in our Andlusa Kingdom. You can burst with the power of the Heaven Rank despite being an 8th Rank Archmage.

“Moreover, Sir Merlin’s rate of advancement is very fast. I believe that you might be close to advancing to the 9th Rank.

“These mana crystals are for you, Sir Merlin. You can gather a few more, trade for a drop of Beast God’s Blood, and see if you can use the Burning Tower’s alchemical device.

“Once Sir Merlin advances to the Heaven Rank, our Andlusa Kingdom’s forces might be able to avoid dying in the Raging Flame Battlefield.

“We can only do this much, we can only rely on Sir Merlin to withstand the Heaven Rank Beastmen,” he said before sighing.

Hearing Jouyi’s words, Lin Yun couldn’t help being emotionally moved.

Lin Yun noticed that Harren seemed to be agreeing with Jouyi. What they experienced had greatly changed these two Andlusan powerhouses.

They had encountered many powerhouses stronger than them and were met with the biggest setbacks in their lifetimes. It was impossible for them to not change.

But handing over the mana crystals that they’d worked so hard to gather wasn’t in line with the interests of the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower.

They were doing that for the interests of the Andlusa Kingdom. As the strongest two people of the Andlusa Kingdom, they would inevitably obtain the most benefits if they succeeded.

But no force would put all their hopes on others. A sharp sword held by oneself would never alter its course.

Lin Yun looked at the two for some time, puzzled for a bit.

After looking at the pouch of mana crystals for half a minute, Lin Yun sighed and declined.

“Sir Jouyi, you should hold onto these mana crystals. Take a look at the temple and see if there are True Spirit Magic Tools that you can trade for.

“I don’t lack mana crystals, and I’m telling the truth here. Moreover, my advancement to the Heaven Rank should have nothing to do with Beast God’s Blood. I have my own plans…”

Jouyi and Harren were somewhat worried when Lin Yun didn’t accept the mana crystals.

Harren anxiously pushed the pouch towards Lin Yun, trying to convince him.

“Sir Merlin, I know you definitely aren’t willing to accept them, but with the current situation, our Andlusa Kingdom needs the emergence of a true powerhouse, a Heaven Rank powerhouse. That is the best method.

“The Raging Flame Beastmen’s understanding of the Raging Flame Battlefield far surpasses our own. They have unearthed many secrets of this place, and when coming here, I heard that those Raging Flame Beastmen could directly fuse with the Beast God’s Blood to complete the Extraordinary transformation.

“This time, there are nine powerhouses on the level of 9th Rank Sword Saints among the Beastmen!

“When added together, the number of Sword Saints or Arch-Warlocks that can advance to the Heaven Rank is just too high.

“We can’t rely on the Odin Kingdom… We are rivals, after all. If we don’t have a Heaven Rank powerhouse supporting us at a critical time, the consequences will be too dire to imagine…”

Harren’s rapid explanations made Lin Yun bitterly smile. He then solemnly looked at Jouyi and Harren.

“Sir Jouyi, Sir Harren, let’s talk about that later. I don’t need those Pseudo Heaven Rank mana crystals, I really don’t need them. When the matter at hand is finished, please follow me… You’ll understand then.”

Harren wanted to say something, but Jouyi lightly shook his head.

On the other side, the alchemists of the Burning Tower were proceeding with the last checks of the huge device. They were making sure that nothing was wrong before activating it.

The Peak 9th Rank Archmage of the Shadow Tower had already flown to the round circular platform atop the device.
