Chapter 726 - Dare (1/2)

You Dare

A dozen fierce explosions echoed as the meteor's size was reduced by half, but it didn't dissipate. It only fell in a different direction.

”Boom…”

The meteor crushed a treehouse, and the flaming impact reduced all the buildings within a hundred meters to pieces.

The 3rd Elder seemed displeased after that. ”It looks like I still underestimated you…”

After muttering those words, the fluctuations specific to 8th Tier Spells started spreading in the surroundings.

Lin Yun frowned. He hadn't expected that the 3rd Elder, who had advanced to the 9th Rank not that long ago, could use an 8th Tier Spell.

Lin Yun decisively used the Mana Sealing Rune, and in an instant, countless runes appeared on the 3rd Elder's head. These runes converged into a single mysterious rune that imprinted itself between the 3rd Elder's eyebrows.

Just as the 8th Tier Spell was about to take shape, the mana fluctuations disappeared and the spell was forcibly interrupted...

The 3rd Elder's mana also seemed to disappear, and he let out a groan as his spell was interrupted, clearly not feeling well

Although Dark Elves' magic patterns were considered instant-cast, that didn't mean they didn't require any time at all.

For every spell to be cast, the magic pattern would first need to shine, which indicated the convergence of mana into the magic pattern. Once enough mana was gathered, the magic pattern's spell would be released.

That time could be ignored for Low Tier Spells, but the magic patterns of High Tier Spells had huge mana requirements, and the time needed to gather mana was more apparent.

Of course, that time was nothing when compared to classic casting.

The 3rd Elder hadn't expected Lin Yun to be able to interrupt his spell. After all, there was such a huge difference in rank between them. How could a 9th Rank Archmage be interrupted by a 9th Rank High Mage?

But Lin Yun had the Mana Sealing Rune...

The spell was interrupted and the 3rd Elder's mana was sealed. At that moment, the 3rd Elder's mana was constantly attacking the power of the Mana Sealing Rune, and the imprint on his forehead kept shivering as if it would shatter anytime.

However, Lin Yun didn't take the opportunity to cast anything. Instead, he quickly chanted an incantation and waved the Draconic Staff as he poured some mana out. That mana transformed into runes that fell onto the earth.

In an instant, the surrounding Ancient War Trees woke up one by one.

The Ancient War Trees that reached up to several dozen meters in height had aged faces, and countless tree leaves flew down as their branches condensed into two huge arms spanning over twenty meters.

Their thick roots also came out of the ground and swayed. The Ancient War Trees stood up, supported by their numerous roots, the faces on their trunks filled with anger.

With a wave of these thick hands, several dozen subordinates of the 3rd Elder were sent flying.

Four huge Ancient War Trees moved towards Lin Yun, protecting him in the center. And not far from there, there were still four more of them clumsily moving over towards Lin Yun, and all the Dark Elves they met on their way were pushed aside like bugs.

The Dark Elves that were a bit slower were sent flying while puking blood, and even their mana shields were destroyed in one hit.

Only two seconds after the first four Ancient War Trees gathered around Lin Yun, the 3rd Elder broke through the seal of the Mana Sealing Rune, and with a fierce burst of mana, over a hundred spells condensed in the air.

The frantic spells were like a powerful flood that tried to smother Lin Yun.

At this time, the four Ancient War Trees around Lin Yun had already taken root and set their foundations in the earth.

Two Ancient War Trees swung their huge fists and blocked the area in front of Lin Yun. Those terrifying spells hit the fists, but were instantly destroyed.

All the spells collapsed as they touched the Ancient War Trees, transforming back into ordinary magic elements and dissipating.

These magic elements now in front of Lin Yun felt like a breeze when they reached him, not harming him in the slightest.

The 3rd Elder turned pale. ”How could you control the Ancient War Trees? Quick! Capture them! Don't let them escape!”

The 3rd Elder issued that order in an instant. The awakening of the Ancient War Trees had completely messed up his plans.

As for the 2nd Elder and the dozen Dark Elves following him, they fearfully rushed into the protective range of the Ancient War Trees.

The 3rd Elder's subordinate mage army made their move, and spells covered the heaven and earth, but they were forcibly dispersed after reaching the Ancient War Trees.
