End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087: Starlight and Darkness

Harren’s eyes reddened as he held the potion.

“Sir Merlin, I can’t take this. It was Sir Jouyi who persuaded me this time… Moreover, I previously…”

Lin Yun shook his head and looked at Harren.

“Sir Harren, the past is the past. To be honest, I have a whole new level of respect for you now. Some things happened, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m giving you this potion.

“Sirs, hurry up. The Raging Flame Beastmen can directly fuse with the Beast God’s Blood without any side effect while also obtaining other benefits contained within the blood of the Beast God.

“But we can only use the Beast God’s Blood to complete the Extraordinary transformation.

“Moreover, we can’t use Extraordinary Power even if we advance to the Heaven Rank. We are naturally weaker than the Beastmen, so we can only act with urgency.”

Jouyi sighed at Lin Yun’s words and looked at the potion in his hands before solemnly saying, “Sir Merlin, I don’t know how to express my gratitude for such a great favor. I can only say that I’ll unconditionally stand by you, no matter what problem you encounter. This might be the only thing I can do…”

Harren’s eyes were red. It had been countless years since he was moved like that. He wanted to speak, but he didn’t know what to say.

“Sir Merlin, your troubles will be my troubles, your enemies will be my enemies.”

Harren blushed after saying those cheesy words.

Lin Yun smiled and looked at the two.

“Sirs, time waits for no one. I’ll guard whoever wants to go first.”

Harren and Jouyi looked at each other and smiled.

“Then let’s go together. We have been old rivals since Harren became the Chairman of the Black Tower. Moreover, it’ll stop either of us from mentioning the fact that they let the other advance first…”

Jouyi smiled as he joked, and Harren also smiled.

“Let’s go together then, there is enough space for both of us…”

The Black Tower and the Cloud Tower were the two strongest forces of the Andlusa Kingdom. They usually opposed each other, because they completely inherited the hatred of their Holy Lands.

But while the enmity between the two Holy Lands was deeply rooted, it was mostly a competitive relationship between the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower. It was far from the great hatred between the Holy Lands.

Otherwise, the two forces would never be able to cooperate. Moreover, the relationship between Harren and Jouyi wasn’t too bad. The two would always bicker, but they had been frequently working together after entering the Raging Flame Battlefield. Their relationship had grown stronger and stronger and they actually had a pretty decent friendship now, especially while they were hunting together. They had pooled together all their mana crystals. This was something no one expected.

The two each took a side of the karst cave and simultaneously drank their Golden Temptation potion.

All of a sudden, terrifying mana fluctuations appeared. It was like the mana within their bodies was being forcibly pushed out.

Endless spots of light appeared around Jouyi, along with some boundless dark light. This formed some kind of starry sky.

Jouyi’s body disappeared almost instantly, replaced by a ten-meter sphere of light. As the sphere of light rotated, it attracted all the light within the karst cave and brightly illuminated everything within a hundred meters, leaving not a single shadow to be found.

The aura of Laws appeared within the light sphere, and the emitted mana started slowly fusing with the Law Power and shrinking towards the center.

The aura coming from the sphere of light was becoming stronger with each rotation.

On the other side, Harren’s body was also wrapped by a huge black sphere that rejected all light in its surroundings. It was like a curtain of darkness was covering the hundred meters around Harren, and a terrifying monster seemed to be birthed within the darkness.

The darkness was fluctuating, and countless runes condensed within. These runes kept merging with the black sphere with every fluctuation.

Half of the karst cave was covered in starlight so bright that no shadows could be seen, while the other half sank into pure darkness with countless darkness runes roaming within.

Lin Yun calmly looked at the two breaking through, his Magic Array continuously revolving. It was a very rare opportunity to observe the Law Runes from their breakthrough.

Jouyi’s Core Meditation Law Set was the Starry Sky Reflection. After being patched, the Law it formed used the Light Law as a foundation and was far more powerful than the previous Core Meditation Law.

Moreover, Starlight was a kind of path within the Light Law that had the widest range. With that Law as a foundation, the range of Jouyi’s spells would far exceed a mage of the same rank.

It would be particularly effective on a big battlefield because he would be able to cover the entire battlefield, especially when coordinating with Starry Sky Mirage. In a large-scale battle, he would be able to display power comparable to that of two or three Heaven Mages.

As for Harren, he wasn’t taking the path of nurturing his Demiplane’s Darkness Elemental God. He was instead focusing on pure darkness spells.

He would lose the support of the Darkness Elemental God, but his individual strength would be greatly increased. This was something that could only be achieved by a minority of dark mages.

After all, it would be very difficult to purify the negative emotions, so it would be far more troublesome to advance to the Heaven realm.

But as long as he advanced, the casting time and the tier of his darkness spells would naturally increase. 4th Tier darkness spells would naturally become Ultimate Spells, and even one or two 5th or 6th Tier Spells could be comprehended and turned into Ultimate Spells.

At this time, the roaming Law Runes outside their bodies were in full display.

Every Law Rune was three-dimensional. They looked like completely different runes when viewed from different angles.

Recording these runes was a rare opportunity for Lin Yun.

He really had accumulated a huge number of runes, with 800,000 so far, and they kept on increasing.

Moving such a huge number of runes becomes somewhat challenging, and even the speed would slow down quite a bit.

But he had gotten an idea when he watched Raphael’s breakthrough.

He had started researching how Law Runes formed so that he could compress his own runes and fuse them into Law Runes. Even if it didn’t work, he could still simulate it.

Not only would the power of each rune increase, but the speed at which he moved them would greatly increase too.

The power of a hundred 1st Tier Spells couldn’t compare to a 5th or 6th Tier Spell.

It was the same for runes.

The power of the Magic Array needed a huge number of runes to support it. Unfortunately, there were too many runes, and they were all basic runes. They were actually slowing down the Magic Array and lowering his strength.

While observing the powerhouses’ Extraordinary transformation, he was trying to emulate the construction method of the Law Runes. This was the best opportunity to observe it.

Countless runes roamed within Lin Yun’s eyes. Those runes kept assembling two by two before continuously increasing the number of combined runes. He kept failing and trying again.

As the number of Law Runes roaming around Jouyi and Harren dwindled, he felt that he would lose the opportunity to directly observe these Law Runes, because Jouyi and Harren would be unable to accomplish this feat so easily.

These Law Runes evolved because of the Beast God’s Blood’s Law fragments. Ordinary Heaven Rank powerhouses didn’t possess that kind of ability.

As Jouyi and Harren were breaking through and Lin Yun was busy studying the method to construct the Law Runes, Sizhang finally arrived near the camp.

As he reached the camp, Sizhang’s eyes were filled with confidence, and he instantly feigned calmness. He directly flew above the camp before slowly landing in the center.

“Where is Mafa Merlin? Have him come see me.”

Sizhang proudly stood in the center of the camp and looked at the people surrounding him with a prideful attitude.

Xiuban walked over with Carnage and bared his teeth as he was about to smash Sizhang’s head… But he was quickly pulled back by Arnaud.

“Don’t attack, that guy is a member of the Burning Tower and is called Sizhang. It is said that he recently obtained Sir Dedale’s trust and is a 9th Rank Archmage with pretty decent strength.”

Hearing that Sizhang was a member of the Burning Tower, Xiuban regretfully took a step back. He might be too lazy to think, but he wasn’t stupid. He naturally knew that the Burning Tower was the strongest force among the forces of the Odin Kingdom that participated in this expedition.

If their subordinate was killed just as he got here, the two forces would definitely wage war. If this went badly, even more people would die.

“Damn, I really wanted to shatter that idiot’s skull…”

After mumbling those words, Xiuban was dragged away by some mages of the mage army.

Pride flashed in Sizhang’s eyes as he looked at the surrounding mages who didn’t dare to attack him or blame him for directly flying into the camp. He immediately had more confidence in his plan.

‘A bunch of scared Andlusan insects… Would they dare to set themselves against the Burning Tower? There is even a Heaven Rank powerhouse here, but they still wouldn’t dare to attack me. They can only endure no matter what I do.

‘Then again, although Sir Morgan is a powerful Heaven Rank powerhouse, he is still from our Odin Kingdom. How could he help Mafa Merlin and these weak Andlusans?’

A group of people encircled him, but Sizhang just kept his head raised with a lofty expression.

“Where is Mafa Merlin? Hurry up and have him appear before me. I came on Sir Dedale’s orders. If he doesn’t show up, this place will be destroyed!”

Sizhang used Sir Dedale as a show of force, and the mages on this side notified Lin Yun. Dedale was considered the strongest human within the Raging Flame Battlefield. Morgan had previously said that even if he advanced to the Heaven realm, he might not be Dedale’s opponent without Extraordinary Power.

Whether they were worried or not didn’t matter… As subordinates, they didn’t want to trouble Lin Yun for no reason. After all, as a follower, they couldn’t casually make a decision for their leader, so Lin Yun had to personally take care of it.

The mage army notified Lin Yun.

In the karst cave, the Law Runes hovering alongside Jouyi and Harren had almost been completely absorbed. Just as they were disturbed, the runes roaming within Lin Yun’s eyes loudly shattered.
