446 Enemies on a Narrow Path (1/2)
What shocked Lin Yun was that this place was too special. In the spacious decaying library, he had read the diary left behind by Starry Sky College's Wayate. It recorded Wayate's later years and contained all his experience, including how he led the Starry Sky College's Planar Legion to the depths of the Volcanic Mountain Range and ended up being besieged by a large amount of Raging Flame Beastmen. At the time, he scattered the Planar Legion and luckily hid away without being found. After exploring, he ended up discovering the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.
As for the details regarding how he obtained it, Wayate hadn't mentioned it in the diary. He only vaguely said that it was in the Volcanic Mountain Range.
Although the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, which could make countless mages envious, was hidden in the Volcanic Mountain Range, it definitely wasn't a safe place. After all, this was the headquarters of the Raging Flame Beastmen. Countless powerhouses were gathered there. To explore the ruin in the Volcanic Mountain Range was akin to suicide, so it was unknown how Wayate succeeded that day.
But when Lin Yun saw this map, he knew that he had to go to the Volcanic Mountain Range, whether it was for the Merlin Family or for himself.
”It looks like the location of the ruin can only be found when the map is pieced together, and the Watson Family also has a half. Several hundred years ago, the Watson Family's Ancestral Land also made a move against the Merlin Family for this damaged map. After several hundred years of silence, they finally suggested cooperation to jointly explore that ruin. This is the reason we are cooperating with the Watson Family.” Oren's expression sank. ”But, that is bound to belong to us. Our Merlin Family must not let the Watson Family get what they want…”
Lin Yun, the new member of the Family Council, stayed in the Guardian Tower for over an hour. He chatted with the ancestors for a long time before he was brought out by Ryan. According to Oren, he would be taken to experience the situation of the true Merlin Family.
The two of them walked side by side towards the depths of the Merlin Family, and after over half an hour, they appeared in front of a Planar Path. After stepping on the path, Lin Yun clearly felt that it was very stable and had most likely been set up by a Heaven Rank powerhouse.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
His surroundings suddenly changed, and he appeared in a huge city, surrounded by countless buildings. There were many seven-floor magic towers. Silver-armored guards were passing through the street in a uniform manner, not a hint of disorder could be seen. After coming to this place, Lin Yun could feel that the mana was very rich here, making meditation more effective here than outside.
Although it was far from being on the level of his Demiplane, this kind of place was rarely seen in Noscent. Only the major forces could have places like this to nurture their young geniuses.
”Fiendish Aura, Undead Aura…”
Lin Yun suddenly felt two different kinds of auras and couldn't help frowning. How could such a place have both Fiendish Aura and Undead Aura? Curious, he cast a few Mage Eyes to fly in the surroundings, and after a few minutes, he caught sight of a very shocking scene. There were breaches in two different directions. Undead lifeforms and Hellish lifeforms were coming from the two breaches.
Caster Legions were fighting with these two different kinds of lifeforms. Although there were many of these foes, the Merlin Family's Caster Legions were quite formidable, even having some Archmages. They were currently dealing with the enemies, but they kept pouring in like an unending flow.
The Caster Legion wouldn't be able to avoid having some injuries during this kind of prolonged fight.
”Rumble…”
At this time, Ryan displayed his power as a Peak 8th Rank Archmage, bursting out and transforming into a huge Mana Hand as it rushed towards one of the breaches. The hand closed and countless Hellish lifeforms exploded, and that breach was slowly shut. Using the same method, the other breach was closed.
After finishing this, Ryan explained to Lin Yun, ”The space here is very unstable. There are some lifeforms from different planes appearing here at regular intervals. But this is also good. It can temper our army and increase their fighting strength…”
Accompanied by Ryan Merlin, Lin Yun wandered around the city and found out that there was no difference from Noscent. There were many people living in it, and after listening to Ryan's explanation, he learnt that there were many young children and troops here. Moreover, there wasn't just one city. There were seven of them.
Ultimately, Lin Yun and Ryan left and returned to the Ancestral Land's Guardian Tower. They followed the staircase up, but when they reached the conference hall, they ended up meeting Thorne Merlin.
”Mafa Merlin!”
Thorne was clearly stunned when he saw Lin Yun inside the Guardian Tower, his gaze turning ice-cold. The person he loathed the most in the entire Merlin Family was Lin Yun.
He had placed all his hopes on Aube, but he ended up crippled.
Thorne was infuriated that Lin Yun wasn't punished after doing such a thing. With bloodshot eyes and a viper gaze, he hatefully said, ”You have destroyed my son's Mana Whirlpool, turning him into a cripple. I'll never forgive you! Although I can't do anything to you now, just wait! I'll definitely carry out in the Raging Flame Plane what I promised that day! I'll throw you into the Wailing River.”
