562 Crystal Scales (1/2)

But Weiss actually knew of Suval's backer in the Black Tower. It was someone that even Sir Harren was wary of, or else he wouldn't have indulged Suval time and time again. It was highly possible that the Black Tower would put tremendous pressure on that young mage after this matter.

But, just as Weiss thought about it, the surrounding environment greatly changed.

It was the kind of change that could easily kill a High Mage, as a terrifying magic power spread like mist. They could see with the naked eye how the boundless energy flowed like a flood. In an instant, this ancient forest turned into an ocean of mana.

That was magic power with boundless killing intent. In any other place, in a different environment, coming across such an enormous amount of mana would make any mage feel excited. But now, only fear remained.

”What's going on?” Weiss felt a chill at the back of his head that spread to his entire body.

The feeling of despair was like a plague, quickly turning this place into a land of death.

Weiss almost went crazy, but he then turned, dumbfounded...

It wasn't just him... Falton, Zeuss, and the others all looked at the Orachiss, their mouths wide open.

While that brief interlude finished, its central head had already finished its incantation. The Demonic Runes looked as if they had gained new life, looking extremely frightening.

The land, which had suffered a severe hit, was once again torn apart by the Abyssal Spell. The entire forest was like a soft quilt that easily folded in two. The bottomless ravine that formed made everyone look at each other, unable to say what was on their minds.

The forest's vegetation no longer existed. It hadn't been able to handle the berserk power, which caused it to wither, as if all the nutrients had been absorbed.

This scared everyone to death. The vegetation being torn apart could be explained by the power of the earlier attacks, but what did that sudden withering mean? It meant that this Abyssal Spell contained something else.

And that something was even more terrifying than physical destruction.

And that wasn't all... What erupted from the ground weren't simple flames. It was true lava!

Lava and fire were two completely different things. It was hardly an exaggeration to say that once someone was covered in lava, they would soon burn up and solidify.

Lava was flowing like water, forming a wave that reached several hundred meters in height.

Everyone fled. They all understood that if they were covered in lava, even a peak Archmage would meet their end.

”It's Apocalypse.”

While Weiss didn't know what he should do, Lin Yun's voice echoed beside everyone's ears.

Even Lin Yun felt pressure at this moment. But he couldn't do anything about it... Everyone had combined their power together to block one attack, but they didn't interrupt the spellcasting… letting it successfully cast Apocalypse.

This was a legendary ancient spell, and from the scene in front of him, he knew that it wasn't something people could stop.

In the legends, Apocalypse was a High Tier Spell among Abyssal Spells. Generally speaking, it was a spell mastered by Heaven Rank powerhouses.

Although Lin Yun had made countless calculations before, he hadn't thought that this Orachiss would have actually mastered Apocalypse.

The only spot of hope was that this was a channeled spell. In other words, it wasn't using all its power at once, and if he could make use of this, the situation wouldn't be as bad. He might even be able to reverse it.

”High Mage Merlin, can you deal with Apocalypse?” Weiss quickly turned towards Lin Yun with a worried expression.

He felt too insignificant in front of that Apocalypse.

Weiss had no doubt that his power as an Archmage would be useless for protecting himself from this. He would only be able to stare helplessly as Apocalypse slowly swallowed him whole.

Thus, he was gambling everything on Lin Yun.

Everyone knew that this was a crucial moment. If he couldn't do something to stop Apocalypse, then even Falton, the most powerful one, would be annihilated.

The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel rose up above Lin Yun's head, and after expelling the chaotic magic power in the surroundings, the Doom Staff was raised high, transforming into a Runic Shield.

Hundreds of runes spread outward, forming a runic storm that rotated at a crazy speed. The golden light was ignited like a flame, and it crushed the Orachiss' attack with its berserk movement.
