488 Lowering One’s Head (1/2)

Suval was terrified when he heard the young mage's dull tone. He was deathly pale and so nervous that he actually stopped breathing.

This was no joke...

His enemy was a level 37 Lesser Lava Overlord that was attacking him crazily. Even an 8th Rank Archmage might be injured in this situation, let alone him.

Suval felt anxious, and a feeling of despair rose up for the first time in his mind. He was in a terrible situation and was constantly using up a large amount of mana to resist the Lesser Lava Overlord's attacks. He simply didn't have any opportunities to flee or counterattack. The consequences would be too terrible if the young mage didn't help him now.

Suval had the urge to curse...

He could see that the young mage was simply doing this to retaliate against him.

But it had no meaning even if he knew about it. He used Flame Flash once again, leaving a shadow behind as he managed to dodge another attack from Lesser Lava Overlord. He then gloomily said, ”High Mage Merlin, I know there have been some unpleasant matters between us, but it's clearly not the time to bicker over this. I need your help to kill this Demon…” He continued, ”If we don't kill this Demon and allow it to rise in the Ghost Valley, the Merlin Family and the Black Tower will suffer huge losses. I hope High Mage Merlin can think this over…”

After saying all this, Suval scrunched up his face in dissatisfaction. In the entire Black Tower, he would only be this polite to Harren, yet he was having to act like this to a youth, and furthermore, one he hated.

Under such circumstances, the highly qualified Representative of the Black Tower was already reining in his temper.

”Haha, Sir Suval, I didn't say I wouldn't help you…” At this time, Lin Yun released some raging flames as he hovered in the air, covering his entire body. After using Fire Elemental Incarnation, Lin Yun didn't remain there for long and disappeared with a Flame Flash.

Then, a red light cut into the horizon, sweeping with momentum before engulfing the Lesser Lava Overlord.

To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved if he could help it.

Unfortunately, he had no choice but to act. Although he didn't have a good opinion of Suval and was even disgusted with him, that person was an important member of the Black Tower, one of the Representatives of the Council of Seven. There would be no benefit to him if Suval bafflingly died there... He wouldn't be able to explain to Harren.

But this could also be considered giving a lesson to Suval...

Moreover, this lesson was deep enough.

”Roar!” A deafening sound echoed as the Lesser Lava Giant Overlord let out a deep bellow, instantly filling the surrounding with fire elements. They flared up and were frantically surging. At the same time, scalding lava kept splattering, filling the sky with a rain of fire that had a thick aura of sulfur.

The entire area was already submerged in flames.

Lin Yun, under Fire Elemental Incarnation, was flitting through the sea of fire. The Doom Staff in his hand burst with a dazzling light, raging with a bone-chilling aura as tyrannical ice spells exploded on the body of the Lesser Lava Overlord.

Then, a loud rumble kept echoing.

But this hadn't caused the Lesser Lava Overlord any substantial injuries.

Although he'd made such a big move, the Lesser Lava Overlord was a level 37 demonic lifeform. It was an extremely terrifying existence in the Raging Flame Plane and couldn't be injured by low-tier spells. Even if there were many of them, it still wouldn't have much of an effect.

”Very powerful…”

But, a smile could be seen on Lin Yun's flame-covered face. He had only done a probing attack just now, using a few dozen low-tier ice spells. Although they didn't injure the Lesser Lava Overlord, they did have an impact, and they allowed him to assess the Lesser Lava Overlord's true strength.

The most important part was that those spells formed a thin layer of ice elements.

This would result in his next action doing twice as much with half the effort.

For outstanding mages, any step, any detail, would have to go through careful calculations. Just like the current Lin Yun. Faced with a Lesser Lava Overlord, an existence that possessed high fire resistance and high fire affinity, it would be very hard for the fire spells he was proficient in to play a big part.

Ice spells were undoubtedly the best choice.

But, under the influence of the Lesser Lava Overlord, the surroundings had already turned into a burning sea filled with fire elements. Under such circumstances, the power of any other spells would be greatly weakened.
