498 Mana Shackles (1/2)

”Sir Lahn, it looks like it's useless to talk to you…” Lin Yun gently shook his head and extended his hand.

In a flash, a shocking mana fluctuation suddenly rose, just like a huge vortex. A few charging Ice Field Mammoths over ten meters away were instantly sent flying, letting out deep roars.

Then...

Lahn didn't even know what happened to him, his body flew towards Lin Yun. At that time, Lin Yun only raised his hand and firmly grabbed this 4th Rank Archmage's neck.

”How… How could this be!” Lahn suddenly realized that he, an esteemed Archmage, was grabbed by the neck by a 5th Rank High Mage. This was extremely humiliating. Just as he thought of this, he recklessly roused his mana.

But just as he roused his mana, it was forcibly suppressed by an extremely tyrannical force. Lahn then screamed, his whole body almost collapsed as his 4th Rank Archmage power felt extremely insignificant at this moment, he simply couldn't contend against that tyrannical power.

It was like a nightmare...

No, this might be even more terrifying than a nightmare. When he discovered that he couldn't struggle free, Lahn Merlin almost went crazy on the spot, he simply couldn't believe this. As a genuine 4th Rank Archmage whose power was close to the High Rank, how could he be so powerless against a 5th Rank High Mage?

”I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, it's time to punish you now, to stop you from causing trouble for us…” Lin Yun's expression was calm, he didn't do anything superfluous after saying this and only chanted a mysterious incantation.

”What… What punishment?”

As he said these words, Lahn suddenly felt that his mana stopped flowing, as if it had been shackled by some power. Regardless of how he tried to rouse it, his mana wouldn't react. He no longer needed the young mage's answer, he already knew what the punishment was...

Mana Shackles!

'How could this be…'

Boundless horror filled Lahn Merlin's eyes, he was in disbelief, he wasn't unfamiliar with Mana Shackles, he had even Mana Shackled some mages from hostile forces. He really hadn't expected it to happen to him one day. And more importantly, the other side wasn't a High Rank Archmage or a Heaven Mage, he was only a 5th Rank High Mage.

A 5th Rank High Mage Mana Shackling a 4th Rank Archmage?

No one would believe this if this spread, it was so absurd it would be treated as a joke.

But Lahn didn't find it funny, he could really feel it at this moment, the feeling of falling from the sky, becoming a powerless mortal, the feeling of having all the mana he had accumulated during his life being Mana Shackled. He might have already collapsed due to this sudden change had his mind not been tempered through decades of battling.

He was in disbelief even now, 'Is this young Mafa really a 5th Rank High Mage?'

He had enough reasons to doubt.

How could a 5th Rank High Mage be powerful to the point of being able to easily suppress an Archmage. Moreover, Lahn wasn't a newly advanced Archmage, he was a genuine 4th Rank Archmage, and close to the 5th Rank. But even so, he was still effortlessly restricted by the young mage's Mana Shackles.

He almost gave up resisting when he faced the young mage's terrifying power.

That was too frightening...

Lahn had been fighting countless battles in the Raging Flame Plane and could be considered experienced and knowledgeable. Every major force of Okland would occasionally dispatch some young talents to have them get some experience in the Raging Flame Plane, he had even heard of some heaven defying geniuses appearing within the first-rate forces, they could even contend against Peak High Mages as 5th Rank High Mages. This was already inconceivable to Lahn.

But he now felt that these so-called geniuses were simply not worth mentioning when compared to Mafa Merlin.

He was a true terrifying monster...

As a 5th Rank High Mage, he could easily suppress and Mana Shackle Lahn, a 4th Rank Archmage. If the young mage reached the Archmage realm, or even higher, just how frightening would he become?

Thinking of this, cold sweat dripped down Lahn's forehead. Nothing could be done about it, he was really scared.

The young mage's voice echoed once again as Lahn was lost in his thoughts.

”Remember, this is only a small punishment, if you dare cause trouble, I won't mind turning you into a true ordinary person…” After saying this, Lin Yun added an extra sentence, ”Just like Aube…”
