435 Return (1/2)

On the way back to Okland, Weiss had been deliberately avoiding Lin Yun.

In fact, he was quite unlucky. Apart from him, everyone else in the team had gotten some sort of benefit, while he not only didn't obtain any benefits, but he even fell to 5th Rank. But with his comprehension, it shouldn't take long for him to regain his strength.

The only saving grace was that the two Withering Flames plaguing his body had disappeared alongside the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation.

No magic beast could threaten their huge group as they kept moving on unimpeded. They crossed the Aurij Mountain Range fifteen days later.

There were a lot less magic beasts around since they were only about half an hour from Okland.

The events that had transpired over the course of this trip had exhausted everyone.

And Lin Yun was no exception. On the lowest floor of the tower, he had absorbed the mana of his three True Spirit Magic Tools and finally used the power of the Book of Death in order to snatch the Undead Essence. In fact, forcibly raising his power to the Archmage realm did cause him some injuries, and he had been slowly recovering for the past half of a month.

The Book of Death was definitely the strongest card he had at the moment, but it had a price. He wouldn't use it unless he was at a critical juncture.

He was hurrying on his way back while thinking over some things when suddenly, a strange mana fluctuation spread through the surroundings.

He raised his head towards the sky while pouring mana into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, his Magic Array roused to its peak. That mana fluctuation felt familiar, and it was also very powerful.

Black mist suddenly filled the sky.

The black mist in the area seemed particularly strange. It was twisting continuously while emitting strange, shocking mana fluctuations, a sinister and bloody aura spreading along with it, startling everyone and leaving them speechless.

”Human Mage, I said that I would make you pay the price…”

The black mist turned into a sinister face hovering over twenty meters in the air. A pair of eyes flickered as a sharp, deafening voice echoed.

That voice seemed to be coming from the depths of Hell, and although it wasn't very loud, it reached everyone's ears. Many mercenaries instantly went pale with fright.

Even Weiss, who was at the level of a 5th Rank Archmage, couldn't help holding his breath when he saw that face in the sky. That sinister face caused him to feel extreme pressure. It felt as if he had been enveloped by some malignant power and could be devoured anytime.

This was definitely a formidable existence, and with his insight, he could naturally see that this was was a Devil from Hell!

And it wasn't an ordinary Devil...

After all, Weiss could still handle ordinary Devils even after his power had dropped, but that Devil clearly couldn't be an ordinary one.

'A Greater Devil…'

Weiss was breathless as he thought of this possibility. A chill quickly spread through his entire body, and he couldn't help shivering. Although he hadn't personally seen one before, Weiss had heard some rumors about a certain Heaven Mage meeting a peak Greater Devil after going to Hell, and it was said that this Heaven Mage had fallen.

Every time a Greater Devil appeared in Noscent, it would cause an unprecedented massacre. The Greater Devils coming from Hell were bloodthirsty and evil, and they would feed on flesh. They were extremely powerful, and peak Archmages might not necessarily be able to defeat one.

And now, their group met one...

Weiss really couldn't understand why a Greater Devil would suddenly appear here. Moreover, it looked like it came looking for a specific individual.

”Human Mage, you thoroughly infuriated me! I won't let you or your family off even if you hand over the gem. Get ready to receive my fury!”

The sinister face let out a deafening roar and a boundless, sinister aura spread, bursting with frightening power. A pitch-black beam of light fell down from the sky.

”You are still the same, trying to deceive others. You should f*ck off back to sleep now, I'm not very patient…”

Shocking mana fluctuations suddenly spread around them as a red silhouette shrouded in flames charged into that sinister face, flooding it with countless spells. The collision between the two destructive powers uprooted the trees in the surroundings and raised a cloud of dust.

”Despicable, it's been three months, yet you actually…” A sharp roar echoed as a flustered expression appeared on the floating face. The fiendish power shrank back, gradually dissipating completely.
