67 The Eye of Reincarnation (1/2)

But that shocking firepower also came with equivalently huge mana consumption.

When a mage used Fire Arrow, they would at most summon one or two flaming arrows. Even with the support of a metamagic, they would only be able to cast a dozen at most. It wasn't because they were unable to cast more, it was because they weren't willing to. Each added Fire Arrow would increase the mana consumption as well as make controlling the spell more difficult.

Someone like Lin Yun, capable of casting a hundred flaming arrows in one Fire Arrow cast was something that any Great Mage would never even thought possible. After all, this magnitude made the spell a hundred times harder to control and consumed hundred times more mana. Even if it was originally only a low tier Mage Spell, after being layered a hundred times, the consumption and the control difficulty reached a frightening level.

Lin Yun had replenished his mana earlier, but already used a huge amount once again. Half of his mana had been used in just a short moment, and the remaining half was quickly dwindling since he was still controlling the Flame Barrier.

Lin Yun could only maintain this kind of limit challenging casting for thirty seconds. After those thirty seconds, Lin Yun felt that the amount of mana within his body was dangerously low. But he didn't panic. The ring on his finger flashed once again and pure mana poured into his body.

With the Elemental Amber's timely mana replenishment, Lin Yun was able to cast yet another spell. He managed the feat of triple casting in such dire circumstances!

Originally, the Flame Barrier and the Fire Arrow Rain formed an impenetrable defense, but the battlefield underwent a shocking change with the appearance of Lin Yun's third spell, a second Flame Barrier.

Two Flame Barriers, one in front of the Toxic Dragonflies, and one behind them, effectively locked the swarm in fire. Countless Toxic Dragonflies were flying back and fro, the heat from the spells making them restless. They wanted to rush out of the flame trap, but they were completely surrounded, they had no way out. The swarm of Toxic Dragonflies was forcefully condensed in a narrow space.

Waiting for them was a Fire Arrow Rain made up of a hundred Fire Arrows...

It only took a short moment before the swarm turned into a pile of pitch black coal. There was no more Toxic Dragonflies once Lin Yun's last Fire Arrow found its target.

”Huf... ” Lin Yun let out a long exhausted sigh, using the wall to support himself as he fished out the Rotten Flower's mana crystal. He was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

That fight might have seemed simple, getting rid of a few hundreds Toxic Dragonflies in a few dozen seconds, but only Lin Yun himself knew how dangerous that fight had been.

Three spells cast, one use of the Magic Array, and the unfathomable triple casting, it was reaching Lin Yun's limits. It was no exaggeration to say that those Toxic Dragonflies brought out a huge pressure to Lin Yun, even greater that the Viper Nest's Great Mage, Bell.

Yes, the Toxic Dragonflies were level 10, and any 5th Rank Mage could easily kill a Toxic Dragonfly. But Lin Yun hadn't faced a single Toxic Dragonfly or two, he had faced a swarm made up of four nests, amounting to several hundred Toxic Dragonflies.

If Lin Yun had made a mistake… Like his Flame Barrier not trapping all the Toxic Dragonflies, or if he hadn't completed the 3rd spell… A different situation would have awaited him. Several hundred Toxic Dragonflies waiting outside the cave, ready to spurt venom… At that time, Lin Yun would have had no other choice but to brace himself and kill them all one by one. And it wouldn't have been a matter of a few dozen seconds, nor a few minutes. Lin Yun might have ran out of Magic Spring potions by then.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened...

From the first Ice Wall to the last Fire Arrow, each spell perfectly reached the effect Lin Yun wanted.

Lin Yun recalled every detail of this battle while tightly holding the Rotten Flower mana crystal, slowly extracting the mana it contained and carefully purifying it before slowly pouring it into the Magic Array.

Very few Great Mages would extract mana from mana crystal usually. It was due to the mana from the mana crystal being filled with impurities, and a moment of carelessness would bring danger to the Great Mage, a serious case might even involve mana backlash.

But Lin Yun wasn't an ordinary Great Mage...

After all, the only source of mana Lin Yun was able to access during the end of the magic era was from the Nether Storm. The mana coming from it was filled with much more impurities than a monster's mana crystal. Every time he meditated to extract mana from the Nether Storm felt like withstanding torture to him.

How could the Lin Yun from that era be afraid of some mana crystal's impurities, it's just that the speed of extraction was somewhat slow.

The entire mana extraction cost him another three bottles of Mana Spring.

When Lin Yun stood up from the ground, the mana crystal of the Rotten Flower in his hand had already lost the last bit of luster. It felt like an ordinary stone.

Lin Yun casually threw this empty mana crystal and lifted his hand to cast a Light spell. The dark cave turned bright as daylight.

The inside of the cave was filled with red fog, thicker than the outside. It felt as if it was being congealed there, and even the Mana Spring could only disperse the red fog in a few meters around him.
