Chapter 794: A Large Group (1/2)
Harren shook his head with a smile as he roughly guessed what had happened. Barok definitely went to cause trouble for Mafa Merlin but wasn't his match, and at the last moment, Weiss appeared and asked Mafa Merlin to be lenient.
'With that youth's temperament, anyone looking for trouble would meet a bad end…'
Since there was no need to recall Barok, as it was already too late, Harren hinted for the people that had come him to leave and pondered for a moment before also leaving the Black Tower's Council Chamber.
He followed a quiet path and reached the Black Tower's Holy Land after half an hour.
The Holy Land was shrouded in darkness and nothing could be seen. Harren went into the darkness, and after a while, a loud roar shaking the heavens came from within.
”Who has the cheek to imprison my disciple!? The Black Tower isn't that easy to bully!”
A short moment later, Harren left the Holy while bitterly shaking his head.
…
Raging Flame Plane, Flame Demon Fort.
The Merlin Family wasn't at all depressed by the fact that there was no conflict; they were in fact prospering with each passing day.
The three clans under Lin Yun were dispatched, but no one knew where they went.
Mana Crystal Cannons that were over two meters long were now sitting atop the Flame Demon Fort's defenses, being quite an effective deterrence. After the cannons were tested a few times, all the spies wandering outside disappeared.
Everything became quiet. Xiuban was embracing his pile of potions every day, eating his fill before lying down atop his home to recover. He was only sleeping, yet his aura was becoming more and more frightening. Sometimes, people would pass by there without noticing him, and they would feel as if a terrifying magic beast was nearby.
Reina was still studying the incantations every day, and when she was free, she would go out to test her spells while continuously increasing her strength. Her mana was also increasing faster than before.
Lin Yun's fifty High Mage subordinates were also progressing at a rapid speed, and the weakest one was already at the 6th Rank, while the strongest one was at the 7th Rank.
Moreover, Lin Yun had already used some of his harvest to customize magic staves for the fifty of them, increasing their fighting strength yet again.
Although these magic staves were Inheritance Magic Tools and none of them reached the Spiritual Magic Tool level, they all had spirit mana crystals of fire magic beasts embedded within. This meant that the original owners of those mana crystals were magic beasts that were at, or above, level 30.
Lin Yu had also carved an array on top of every mana crystal. He had meticulously studied the Heaven Rank Array of the Intrepid, and although he only had a superficial comprehension of it, it was already far beyond his original comprehension of arrays.
And it wasn't just the mana crystals... Even the staff itself was made of wood from Red Flame Trees. This kind of precious wood could only grow in places rich in fire elements. Usually, it would only grow in areas near flowing lava.
Stagnant lava would be unable to handle the absorptive power of Red Flame Trees and would solidify within a few years, and hardened lava would lose its heat, causing the Red Flame Trees to wither.
A staff crafted from Red Flame Wood would increase the power of fire spells by 30%, even without a rune or array carved into it!
But now, Lin Yun had covered every corner of these fifty High Mages' magic staves with runes and arrays. The combination of the two increased the effect of the Red Flame Tree to the extreme, especially with the matching spirit mana crystals from fire magic beasts.
When casting fire spells, consumption would be reduced by 30%, while the power would be increased by 50%, and the cast time would even be halved! Even the convergence of fire elements would be 50% faster.
Such extreme effects would make the users of the staves produce the same effects as if they had been using Peak Spiritual Magic Tools.
But when using other spells, the effects would be reduced by more than half.
These staves were most suited for the fifty High Mages. They had the Blazing Storm Magic Conducting Runes, which was considered the most powerful Magic Conducting Runes for war. When using fire spells, their power would be at least 30% higher.
When all these factors were combined, they could make the power of the fifty High Mages reach a crazy level. The fifty High Mages could last over three minutes against Lin Yun!
Lin Yun was very satisfied with this result. On the battlefield, these fifty High Mages would definitely be able to exert the power of a well-trained mage army, and might even be more powerful!
Because when they were together, they weren't meant to fight against a single formidable powerhouse. They were meant to grow in war!
