264 Settling In (1/2)
”Who are you?” Lin Yun asked with a heavy voice while secretly casting a Spirit Defense.
All ten Lin Yun's Magic Arrays were working at all times, ensuring that no foreign mana could enter Lin Yun's mind undetected, thus Lin Yun deducted that the voice he heard in the back of his mind had to be some type of spiritual power, or some type of ghostly power. And Spirit Defense was the bane of these two powers.
But...
”Don't waste your strength, Spirit Defenses are useless against me.” That voice once again resonated in Lin Yun's mind after he activated the Spirit Defense.
”...” Lin Yun couldn't help cursing.
This was really a ghost...
How could he encounter such a thing?
This was fatal to a mage, a voice that could talk in one's mind anytime, anywhere... In other words, even if one was to meditate or cast, they might be disturbed by that voice. This was no laughing matter, it meant that a mage would risk suffering from a magical backlash anytime.
”Tell me! Who are you in the end…”
”Did you already forget? You destroyed my body not long ago…” The voice in the back of his mind remained unperturbed, not speaking fast yet not slowly and seemed to be mocking him.
”Destroyed your body…” Lin Yun frowned and thought for a long time. Whose body did he destroy, could it be a ghost from one of those powerful corpses in the Heaven Enlightening Plane?
'No way…'
'If it really was a ghost, the Magic Array would have already alarmed me, so why didn't it react?'
'Hold on…'
'Destroyed body…'
'The Crystal Scales!'
That's right, it was the Crystal Scales, only such a strange existence like a Magic Tool Incarnation could pass through the Magic Arrays and Spirit Defenses undetected, and the Crystal Scales were the only ones who held a grudge against him.
”You are the Crystal Scales!”
”Hahahaha, you are half right…”
”Half?” Lin Yun became perplexed. Identity was something you either guessed right, or wrong. What did half right mean?
”I am indeed the Crystal Scales' Incarnation, but I am not just the Incarnation of the Crystal Scales. In reality, the Crystal Scales are the weakest of my numerous bodies. Do you think you would have been able to suppress me if that hadn't been the case?”
”Doesn't that still mean that you were suppressed by me…?”
”That's why I'm saying that you are stupid!” It seemed that the voice flew into a rage after Lin Yun brought up the past , ”You Humans are like that, arrogant and conceited yet ignorant and narrow-minded. You really think you truly suppressed Lord Enderfa? Ridiculous, you think that a mere Magic Array can suppress Lord Enderfa… You had better listen and do what Lord Enderfa wants you to do, otherwise, don't even think of meditating and casting in this life. Magical backlash will be waiting for you….”
”Despicable!” Lin Yun gnashed his teeth. This was too despicable, that guy was threatening him to interfere with his magic path.
Lin Yun couldn't help feeling regretful. If he had known that the Crystal Scales' Incarnation was that weird, he wouldn't have relied on the Magic Array and would have directly looked for a Superior Magic Tool to seal him, what kind of trick could he use then?
'Hold on, Magic Array…?'
Thinking about it, Lin Yun realized something wrong. Why didn't that so called Enderfa Magic Tool Incarnation not say anything in the Heaven Enlightening Plane? After all, that was when he was walking on a tightrope and would have fallen in the abyss with a single misstep. Lin Yun would have most likely agreed to anything if he had been threatened then.
On the contrary, he got threatened now, when he was back to safety...
This wasn't very logical...
Moreover, he had already been feeling very strange when absorbing the Silver Blood in the Planar Path. Over 100,000 runes appeared and he should at most have been able to refine the Magic Array, he shouldn't have been able to undergo such a transformation. After all, he had gained an extra Magic Array out of nowhere, this was completely changing the shape of the Magic Array and toppling Noscent's magic system.
