453 Sophistry (1/2)
But they saw the young mage placing his unadorned staff horizontally in front of him and pouring mana into it. The staff radiated with dazzling light as five blazing Flame Bursts flew towards the Raging Flame Beastman Mages. Even Ida and Yuri, who were a dozen meters away, could feel the extremely frightening power contained within those Flame Bursts.
A flustered expression finally appeared on the face of that angry Raging Flame Beastman. He clearly knew that this young mage was a formidable enemy and his dark red runes fiercely flickered, emptying his power to cover his body with flames.
That Beastman was very powerful, and the furious flames covering his body enhanced his incredibly high magic resistance. Even 5th Rank Archmage powerhouses might not necessarily be able to injure him in this state.
However, the five Flame Bursts quickly arrived and accurately struck that Beastman. A mournful scream echoed and over half of the dark red flames covering his body had been instantly eliminated. After the explosion, the Raging Flame Beastman flew away like a cannonball, stopping a few dozen meters away.
”Rumble…” A loud sound echoed as the Raging Flame Beastman crashed into the ground, creating a crater. He was panting, with a charred, black wound on his stomach from which blood kept flowing.
Ida and Yuri were stunned. They couldn't believe that mere Flame Bursts could injure that Raging Flame Beastman to such extent while it was defending itself.
The young mage then raised his staff...
It was followed by a pitch-black palm suddenly falling down from the sky and heavily slamming that Raging Flame Beastman Mage before he could even crawl out of the crater. With a loud sound, the aura of the Raging Flame Beastman completely disappeared, his corpse turned into a paste.
”Heavens…”
Ida and Yuri were startled speechless. This scene was too scary… There was now deep respect in their eyes as they looked at the young mage.
The Raging Flame Beastman Mages had made them feel helpless, but this one was unable to withstand a single blow from the new Commander. When they recalled the scene, it occurred to them that the young mage had only used six offensive spells to deal with the Raging Flame Beastman, five Flame Bursts, and one Earth Rending Hand.
”Grrrr…”
Those Raging Flame Beastmen were clearly stunned by Lin Yun's attacking methods and let out growls of disbelief. Several pairs of dark red eyes once again landed on Lin Yun. They were no longer vicious and fierce... They were now filled with fear. To the Beastmen, that young mage seemed like a living nightmare.
He was too scary...
A tribe's outstanding prophet didn't last more than ten seconds before his body was crushed.
But Lin Yun didn't plan to stop. A disk with red and blue radiance rose up behind him, floating behind him like a bright moon. As he poured mana into it, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel blossomed with light, and several hundred low-tier spells rushed forth, flooding three of the Peak High Mage Beastmen. They didn't have time to even scream before turning into corpses.
Hovering in the air with Levitation, Lin Yun looked down at the remaining Raging Flame Beastman Mages as he expressionlessly raised the Doom Staff. With a burst of light, one Flame Burst after another flew towards them, dragging long trails of flames behind them. These were followed by miserable shrieks.
After ten seconds, only two of the original dozen Raging Flame Beastmen remained. They were the most powerful two, comparable to 3rd Rank Archmages, but they were completely terrified. How could they not be after what they had just witnessed?
At this time, Ida and Yuri were both watching with their eyes wide open, the spells they had been preparing fizzling out instead. 'Damn, is he really a 5th Rank High Mage?'
Of the dozen Raging Flame Beastmen, the weakest had been Peak High Mages. Wasn't that powerful enough? Even a 5th Rank Archmage would be in huge danger when being surrounded by this group, yet they had been unable to do anything against the young mage...
When they first met Lin Yun, both Ida and Yuri had been questioning his abilities in their minds… as well as openly… They had wondered if he was qualified to be a Planar Legion Commander at all.
But now, Ida and Yuri no longer dared to have such thoughts...
If such a frightening guy wasn't qualified to be a Planar Legion Commander, then no more than a handful of people in the entire Ancestral Land could be qualified!
Who would have thought that a young 5th Rank High Mage would have such terrifying strength?
Their had extremely complicated thoughts.
