413 Puppet Tide (1/2)

What happened that day was constantly repeating in Weiss' mind, driving him insane. After being dragged down by Solan, he spent ten days to escape from the pursuing Desolate Overlord, but although he succeeded he had to pay a price, and that price was huge. Not only was he seriously hurt, he was also infected by two Withering Flames, burning him alive. He might not be able to survive if he couldn't find a Heaven Rank Mage on time to help him remove the Withering Flames.

Moreover, when fighting Solan, he had no other choice but to use part of his power to suppress the Withering Flames in order to reduce the corrosion speed, or he wouldn't be able to stay alive.

The moment he was dragged down by Solan, he swore that even if he could make it alive, he would definitely kill Solan Monchi!

The disciple he had wholeheartedly nurtured for a few dozen years actually kicked him down in such a dangerous situation. Anyone would go cray if this happened to them. If not for his long life filled with various experiences, Weiss might have already spat out blood in anger.

Fortunately, he was able to escape from the Desolate Overlord's pursuit and find Solan!

When he saw Solan, the bottled up resentment burst out.

But, his heart turned cold once he started fighting Solan...

Because he discovered that Solan had changed...

He was now a 5th Rank Archmage!

A genuine 5th Rank Archmage… Weiss whose power had fallen to the 5th Rank Archmage level couldn't even deal with Solan. This was something hard to accept.

Solan's expression was terrible. When Weiss appeared, he truly panicked. He clearly understood the strength of his teacher, a 6th Rank Archmage wouldn't be able to survive against his teacher, let alone a 5th Rank Archmage like himself.

Then he found out that his teacher was in a very bad state and his strength diminished to the 5th Rank Archmage realm. Weiss was even a bit weaker than him.

”Weiss, do you remember? Three years ago, in the Dark Azure Plane? I entered a ruin and barely escaped with my life. I had gotten a True Spirit Magic Tool then, but you forced me to hand over that True Spirit Magic Tool. I had enough of such a scummy teacher. I would have turned hostile earlier if not for your strength. But you know what, you don't need to be angry about what happened two months ago, we can call it quits, I'll also forget about that True Spirit Magic Tool matter…”

But even though Solan had said that, Weiss didn't intend to stay his hand, his offensive actually became fiercer, dazzling wind spells whistling towards Solan.

Solan's expression couldn't help but turn solemn. It looked like Weiss was fighting as if his life depended on it.

During these ten days, he kept suffering in silence, afraid of offending Mafa Merlin and losing his life. One Mafa Merlin was already enough to make him distressed, and now there was Weiss added to the count.

'Damn, does everyone want to kill me?'

'At worst, I'll take you down with me!'

Solan stared at Weiss with red eyes, he hardened his heart and burst out with the full power of a 5th Rank Archmage.

That battle lasted over ten minutes and could only be described as fierce, both sides were 5th Rank Archmage powerhouses and weren't holding back, they both wanted the other side to die.

The former master and disciple were now arch-enemies.

This was quite ironic...

The wonderful part of this battle lay in the fact that both of them kept trying to expose the other side's shortcomings. It reached the point where the two kept disclosing personal matters. Everyone, Lin Yun included, were speechless when they heard those shouts, 'How is this a fight? Isn't this just a cursing contest?'

Whether it was Weiss or Solan, they both exhausted their mana, it could be seen from the fact that they could no longer use high tier spells and were only casting 1st Tier and 2nd Tier spells.

But Weiss seemed to be in a pickle, new injuries were added to the wounds he already had from the chase.

”Stop, both of you…”

But suddenly, the expression of Lin Yun, who was watching this battle leisurely, changed without warning. He called out to both of them in a deep voice. The control system he had dismantled from the puppet had displayed some change.

This change startled him, it was as if some power was trying to manipulate the control system.

He couldn't help linking it to the thousand of puppets that attacked them earlier. He had guessed that the thousand of puppets recklessly attacking them had been due to something that Heaven Puppet ordered a long time ago, but that theory didn't look very likely now.

If the control system hadn't been extracted, that Heaven Puppet might have attacked them under the control of that power.

What kind of existence had the power to alter the puppet's programs?
