412 Withering Flames (1/2)

The moment he touched it, that black thing emitted an unfathomably powerful mana. It felt as if he wasn't touching a piece of metal, but a Chromatic Dragon instead.

'Yes, it's that kind of feeling.'

'What is this thing…'

Lin Yun frowned, holding that thing with one hand gave him a fearful feeling. He tried to pour mana into it, but nothing happened.

This thing was definitely not simple.

He put it in his pocket for now, he didn't have the time to take care of it right now, he would slowly research it later.

After coming out of the control room, he sensed that the others were already waiting next to the central forge.

”What did you find?”

”High Mage Merlin, we found the passage leading to the 9th floor…” Delson said with excitement. After experiencing the 11th floor's illusion, Delson thought that the 10th floor would be even more dangerous, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy. Apart from that thousand puppets army being somewhat troublesome, the 10th floor didn't pose much danger.

Lin Yun nodded. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a fierce mana fluctuation and immediately turned to look at the huge forge.

He wasn't the only one to notice this fierce mana fluctuation, everyone did. They all turned their heads towards the forge. Among them, Solan was the only one whose expression greatly changed, he was looking at the forge with disbelief.

At this time, a silhouette in a very pitiful state suddenly rushed out of the huge forge. They could see the worn out mage robe covered in blood and mud that the silhouette was wearing. His hair was unkempt and his face deathly pale. But more importantly, a thick aura of sulfur spread when he appeared.

'Is it a Demon?'

Everyone was startled.

But after paying attention, they could see that the man that came out of the forge had two ash-colored flames on his back which were spreading that sulfur aura.

”Representative Weiss! How come it's you…” Delson let out in surprise.

Nothing could be done about it, the changes Weiss underwent were too great. Before, in the Line Canyon, Weiss had appeared and disappeared without a trace, giving out a mysterious feeling. But now...

He was no different from an old man past his prime.

This could no longer be described as pitiful state, everyone knew that those two ash colored flames were Withering Flames, flames from the Abyss. If one was infected by them, they would get eradicated by the Withering Flames unless they already reached Heaven Rank. In the end, the Withering Flames would only stop burning when the soul was turned to ashes.

But Representative Weiss now encountered that kind of predicament, the Withering Flames were constantly obliterating his soul. He managed to last so long because he was powerful.

Weiss' sudden appearance startled Lin Yun, 'He actually appeared in the 10th floor of the magic tower…'

'Where did he go before?'

William said that two months ago, Weiss had been chased down by the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation, but he still used an outrageous way to get into the magic tower.

Weiss managed to escape the chase of the Desolate Overlord, just this was shocking enough, after all, the three magic beasts back then were comparable to Weiss, yet they hadn't been able to escape disaster.

When the Desolate Overlord Incarnation appeared, Lin Yun knew that it's power was comparable to Jouyi.

Yet, Weiss managed to escape from such a terrible existence, this was incredible.

Everyone, including Lin Yun, thought that under the chase of the Desolate Overlord, Weiss had no way out.

But it looked like Weiss had met some huge trouble, the two Withering Flames were corroding his soul, and even with his strength, Weiss' soul would soon fade away, unless a Heaven Rank Powerhouse was willing to help him get rid of these Withering Flames...

”Solan Monchi!”

Just as he came out of the Forge, Weiss caught sight of these familiar faces and froze for a second. But then, his eyes locked onto Solan, he glared while shouting Solan's name. Some mana fluctuations leaked out from his body before countless wind spells took Solan by surprise.

That old man was infuriated.
