260 Transformation 2 (1/2)

Another ten days quickly passed.

Lin Yun still remained motionless, but they could all feel an invisible pressure filling the air, just like the calm before the storm, the pressure made them struggle to breath.

The Planar Path was silent, they were all holding their breath while looking at the young Great Mage with alarm and expectations.

Days passed one after the other.

The mana fluctuations that young Great Mage was emitting became more and more shocking and even an Archmage like Suyass felt speachless. These mana fluctuations were too scary. They were almost tangible, like essence. Suyass felt as if a huge boulder was pressing onto him.

But what was more terrifying was that this huge boulder was becoming heavier and heavier with time.

In other words, the mana fluctuations of that young Great Mage were rising. This made them feel despair, it was rising, rising continuously as if there was no limit. Suyass couldn't imagine what level these continuously rising mana fluctuations would reach.

They all paled, and the weaker ones were heavily sweating.

The pressure brought up by that young Great Mage was too high.

No one knew how long it took, time seemed to have lost its meaning. The Netherstorm that could be seen through the distorted space no longer attracted their attention. They only stood there, trembling with fear, tightly clenching their fists as they waited for the astonishing event to happen.

The surroundings elements flared up as Lin Yun's mana grew stronger and stronger.

Booming thunder and whistling gales could be heard as boundless mana was filling the Planar Path.

They could all feel that this young Great Mage was stepping into the High Mage Realm.

Among the countless of mages who advanced to High Mage in Noscent's history, this was the one who did so with the most shocking momentum.

Mana frantically converged, and then, that young Great Mage fused his nine Magic Conducting Runes into one before entering the High Mage realm.

Lin Yun who had sat there for a bit over a month finally opened his eyes.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to hear a rumbling sound as an intense light spread in the horizon. Everything seemed to have been frozen in that moment, the surging thunder, the whistling gales, the flowing mana, they all seemed to have disappeared. That young High Mage was now calmly standing there, his body not emitting one bit of mana fluctuations. There was no sign of mana, as if he was an ordinary person.

But when he opened his eyes...

They felt as if they were seeing stars falling, creation and destruction, endless runes floating...

”How much time did I use?”

It was a simple question, yet no one answered. Apart from the still sleeping Xiuban and William who was trying to connect to the Merlin Family's crest, the few others were looking at Lin Yun with dread and alarm.

That was an indescribable pressure.

In the end, it was Solomon, the one most familiar with Lin Yun, who stood out, ”A bit short from a month and ten days.”

”So long?” Lin Yun frowned. He glanced through the Planar Path's distortions and looked at the Netherstorm still frantically swallowing the Heaven Enlightening Plane. The plane had already turned into nothingness. Only the cemetery was left.

It was a bit strange. When Lin Yun began analyzing the drop of Silver Dragon Blood, the Netherstorm had already started invading the plane. But according to Solomon, almost two months had already passed, yet that cemetery remained intact and was still contending against the Netherstorm.

This was the Netherstorm...

'Could there be some power able to contend with the Netherstorm in the cemetery?'

”Merlin…” While Lin Yun was lost in his thoughts, Suyass cautiously called out to him.

”What is it, Sir Suyass?'

”You…” Recalling all the phenomenons that appeared, Suyass couldn't help gulping. When he finally managed to recover, he doubtfully asked, ”You are already a High Mage, aren't you?”

”Haha…” Lin Yun suddenly laughed when he heard that question. After laughing, he nodded, ”More or less…”

After obtaining a satisfying answer, Suyass didn't keep pursuing the matter. He only congratulated Lin Yun before silently retreating. But he was far from being as calm as he pretended to be on the surface. As a 9th Rank Great Mage, Merlin could already beat an Archmage like Fran just by relying on the power of that strange flame. Now, with the nine Magic Conducting Runes fusing together, his strength could only be described as frightening. Even if he didn't use that strange flame, he would still be comparable to an Archmage in terms of fighting power.

It was now proven that his previous choices were correct.

If he hadn't persevered during this trip and gave up on all harvest, with the vengeful nature of that young High Mage, he would have sooner or later looked for Fran to settle his debt.

On that day, Fran would definitely be finished.
