228 Possessed (1/2)

'What is going on?' Lin Yun was surprised and crouched to examine that destroyed puppet.

The result of his inspection showed that the puppet had been severely damaged and the mana source had been exhausted for a very long time. The mechanisms had also been seriously damaged and 80% of the puppet's arrays were non-operational. Based on common sense, such a puppet shouldn't be able to move, let alone sneak attack someone...

This discovery made Lin Yun frown.

'What…?'

'How could a trashed puppet perform a sneak attack? Could it be… Possession?'

”Merlin! Watch out!” Solomon yelled at Lin Yun, who was lost in thought.

A sharp sound echoed suddenly. Lin Yun didn't even turn his head before a new Flame Spear was thrown out and nailed the creepily laughing puppet on the wall.

Lin Yun didn't relax after dealing with the sneak attack of the puppet, because just as the puppet was nailed to the wall, cracking sounds echoed from every corner of the warehouse...

”Fuck…” Lin Yun cursed.

This was indeed possession.

And it was mass possession!

Under the magical light, he could clearly see several dozen of scraped puppets swaying over from various corners of the room.

These puppets had all been thrown away due to mana source exhaustion, major malfunctions, or array damage. They shouldn't be able to work under normal circumstances. But under the possession, their arrays were filled with radiance and their mechanisms were set in motion just like normal puppets.

”It's really a fucking ghost…” At this time, Lin Yun couldn't deal with it and directly turned into raging flames before pouncing towards the closest batch of puppets.

”Boom, boom, boom…”

Lin Yun let out three Flame Bursts and the closest puppet didn't even have time to react before it was turned into pieces by the onslaught of spells.

To be honest, this wasn't the most efficient way...

Any mage with some understanding of puppets would know that the most efficient way was to attack the mana source. Just like the Flame Spear Lin Yun had cast earlier. One simple hit could thoroughly destroy the mana source, turning even the most powerful puppet into a pile of scraps.

But Lin Yun knew that these puppets simply couldn't be judged by common sense. They could move with damaged mechanisms, they could cast with damaged arrays, and exhausted mana sources meant nothing to them.

There was only one way to deal with these possessed puppets, completely destroy them.

After the first puppet was destroyed by the three Flame Bursts, Lin Yun didn't even take the time to breathe before ferociously piercing through the area with the most puppets. Lin Yun then displayed a casting style that was entirely different from his usual self.

Usually, Lin Yun's casting style was all about efficiency, if he could make do with one Wind Blade to cut an enemy throat, he wouldn't use two.

But Lin Yun had now given up on this kind of efficient casting style, at the present moment he was using a bursting style. It felt as if he was trying to Flame Burst the entire stone tower.

This kind of casting style was very burdening. Even Lin Yun had to keep his Magic Arrays working at full speed to make every spell burst with the greatest might.

Fortunately, there was still Solomon.

Although Solomon couldn't guarantee that each of his spell burst out with their greatest might like Lin Yun, he still displayed the power of a 9th Rank High Mage. Although 6th Tier spells couldn't be described as heaven defying, they were still quite powerful.

With Lin Yun under Elemental Incarnation holding down several dozen puppets, Solomon could comfortably cast spells. He was just like a fort, raining down spell after spell on these puppets.

The battle lasted for no less than ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Solomon used a Flame Dragon Blast and destroyed the last two puppets. No puppets remained intact in the entire warehouse after the fight, everything had turned into true scraps. Several dozen puppets had been torn into pieces under the joint efforts of the duo.

”I'm exhausted…” After confirming that the last puppet had been destroyed, Solomon sat down, gasping for air.

But Lin Yun didn't plan to rest.
