End of the Magic Era - Chapter 933

Chapter 933: Confrontation

‘Wait, no, how could he resist Extraordinary Power with just the foundation of a Law?’

Doubt flashed in Dubois’ eyes, but he quickly got over it.

“Mafa Merlin, you killed my disciple, yet I temporarily let that matter slide. But can you explain Larieth’s injuries? Could it be that you didn’t accept my command?

“Fool, I see that you have thoroughly forgotten that we are currently at war and forgotten what we should do as citizens of the Andlusa Kingdom.

“I had you surrender control over the Four Seasons Plain, yet you dared to disobey the command and wantonly siphon the riches of this place, wantonly extracting the veins of ore and completely forgetting about the general attack.

“Since you forgot, I’m here to personally remind you and to take back everything you possess. I’ll take control over everything.

“I’ll now give you one last chance… Get back to the front line, or pay a heavy price for your stupidity! You won’t be as lucky this time, no one can save you.”

“Kneel and repent!”

Dubois’ icy gaze seemed to express that he was just taking pity on an ant.

‘Foolish guy, how could my disciple’s death be so easily forgotten? This damned kid actually dares to run the Four Seasons Plain this well! The wealth he is getting every day is putting the Black Tower to shame.

‘Even the merchants are starting to flock over, and the wealth is flowing like water every day.

‘How could someone like Mafa Merlin have the qualifications to possess this place? I can just kill him if he dares to resist, and there is no one to stop me this time…’

Lin Yun only sneered, “Haha…”

Dubois frowned, not understanding what that “haha” meant.

At that moment, the puppet that had been ordered to test its new weapon had gone far enough. Its laser activated, and the cannon opened fire at the Askrim Gate that had been placed on the testing field.

A loud explosion echoed as the huge wall of ice exploded, while the ice at the center had completely evaporated.

Dubois was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly shone.

He had noticed the puppet earlier, but he hadn’t cared about it. A Level 30 puppet was of no interest at first glance.

But now, amazement could be seen in his eyes.

How could he not understand the power of that attack as a Heaven Rank powerhouse? That attack had far surpassed the power that a Level 30 puppet could output. The spell that burst out in that split second was definitely not something a Level 30 puppet could use.

There was only one possibility: It was due to its mana reactor!

After thinking of this, Dubois reached out with his hand and lightning bolts fell onto the puppet, dismantling it and displaying the Full Right-Angle Mana Reactor and the new weaponry’s components.

An unprecedented new mana reactor, as well as powerful new weaponry.

How could Dubois not understand what that never-before-seen mana reactor represented?

That was the lifeline of the puppet, and with it, a large number of alchemists could be recruited. The design could even attract Artisans!

‘Just how much profit could be made from that? It would bring a lot more benefits than the Four Seasons Plain in the long term!

‘Just from looking at it, that completely new mana reactor and those new weapons could be used to create a powerful puppet army. This could double the speed of the attack!

‘Those alchemists just now had been Grey Beastmen… Did the Grey Beastmen’s puppeteering techniques already reach this stage?’

These thoughts instantly flashed through Dubois’ brain.

“Mafa Merlin, you actually had something that could greatly increase our chances of victory, yet you didn’t take it out at such a crucial time? Do you want to see our Andlusa Kingdom be defeated that badly?

“Hand over the technology behind that mana reactor, the weapon systems, as well as all the Grey Beastmen, and I can spare your life.

“Cripple your own Mana Whirlpool and I’ll let you safely return to Noscent. I won’t pursue you for the mistakes you made before!”

Dubois shared his greedy thoughts, but his expression was even colder than before.

“Haha…” Lin Yun sneered once again, a trace of ridicule visible on his face.

Mana fluctuations slowly spread as the wheel shadow rapidly rotated behind him, containing several profound runes flickering like the stars of a clear night sky.

The four-colored circle in the center of the wheel’s shadow slowly dissipated, replaced by a dark red glaring light.

A gentle yet explosive aura tore through Dubois’ aura. It was as if Dubois’ pressure had been blown away by a breeze.

In an instant, the frozen air and magic elements were able to flow again. Gales whistled around Lin Yun’s location, forming huge tornadoes.

Lin Yun’s robe was fluttering in the wind as the mana fluctuations coming from his body turned into ripples that spread around him and kept those tornadoes at bay.

Dubois couldn’t help laughing out as he saw this.

“Mafa Merlin, you actually refused my mercy, you are vainly challenging the might of a Heaven Rank powerhouse! Very well, I’ll teach you why a Heaven Rank powerhouse cannot be provoked, you’ll understand in death!

“Once you die, everything here will belong to me. No one can save you today!”

After sneering, the lightning bolts roaming around Dubois’ body were suddenly roused, and a several-meter-thick lightning bolt fell towards Lin Yun.

The ground under Lin Yun’s feet slowly melted, and the rocks turned into lava. A large amount of lava appeared to be flowing out of Lin Yun’s body, and it submerged him in an instant.

Lin Yun’s body expanded and turned into a seven-meter-tall Lava Giant. Ripples flashed under his feet as lava spread more than two hundred meters around him and kept bubbling, forming a boiling pond of lava.

As that thick lightning bolt fell, a large amount of lava converged above Lin Yun’s head and turned into a Lava Shield. The lightning bolt and the Lava Shield were locked in a clash. Countless cracks were appearing on the Lava Shield, but lava was continuously rising from below to reinforce the shield.

Lin Yun raised his head and saw a lightning tree suddenly appearing in the sky, with countless small lightning bolts taking the shapes of small branches.

These lightning bolts were falling downward, fusing into bigger branches, and as all the branches merged together, a huge trunk was formed. Dubois was standing at the base of that tree trunk and appeared to be shrouded in the lightning.

Extraordinary Power surged out and even changed the weather. Boundless gales were blowing in the sky as the wind elements gathered, while the other elements started to be rejected by that area.

Cyan gales caused mournful whistling sounds as an unknown number of Wind Blades filled the sky.

The sky became dusky as if light had also been rejected. Thick, black clouds rapidly appeared and churned alongside the gales before transforming into a huge vortex high in the sky. Lightning bolts could faintly be seen within the whirlpool, as if there was an Ancient Lightning Dragon leaping within the vortex.

More and more lightning bolts slowly appeared within the black clouds as small streams of lightning seemed to converge together into a river at the center of the vortex.

A glaring light suddenly appeared in the center of the black vortex, and the terrifying pressure transformed into a downpour of lightning.

The lightning tree below was irrigated by that downpour of lightning and it frantically grew, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-tall tree purely made of lightning.

Dubois stood under the tree, holding a seemingly flickering lightning bolt as a staff in one hand, which he then waved. At that moment, boundless lightning bolts illuminated the sky.

The lightning bolts falling like rain, frantically sweeping the ground.

Lin Yun kept flickering within the lava pond as each falling lightning bolt forcibly extinguished an area of the lava pond. It only took three seconds for more than half of the lava pond to be extinguished by those lightning bolts.

The Purple Dragon Incarnation appeared out of the Draconic Staff in Lin Yun’s hand and turned into a large and wise-looking shadow behind Lin Yun’s back, instantly filling him with power and greatly slowing the speed at which the lava pond was getting destroyed.

Then, the Book of Death flipped itself open and the Element Chapter started blossoming with red and yellow lights, buffing Lin Yun once more.

In an instant, the boiling lava pond became even deeper, and although the rain of lightning bolts kept extinguishing the surface lava, more lava would come surging from the depths.

The surging lava kept splashing with towering waves, while Lin Yun, who was using Lava Elemental Incarnation, kept roaming within the pond, fully merged with the lava pool.

Dubois’ expression became extremely unsightly. He hadn’t expected that he would still be unable to destroy Lin Yun when personally attacking, even after using Extraordinary Power.

‘Damn, since when has that foolish ant become so troublesome? I haven’t seen him for only a bit, yet he can already block my spell?! How could he resist Extraordinary Power as an Archmage?

‘Although this Lightning Shower isn’t a very powerful spell, it’s still a 9th Tier Spell! It contains Extraordinary Power, so no Archmage should be able to withstand that power…

‘What is that Incarnation? Fire Elemental Incarnation? Earth Elemental Incarnation? Could it be Lava Elemental Incarnation? Isn’t that an ability that only Heaven Rank powerhouse could master?

‘And that troublesome lava pond… Damnit, did that annoying kid set up an array here to draw out the lava from the depths of the earth?

‘F*ck…

‘I’ll see how you can resist once I destroy your lava pond…’
