Chapter 795: Steel Fortress (1/2)

As he arrived beside Lin Yun's group, John examined Lin Yun with that mocking expression before sneering with disdain.

”I thought you were supposed to be a being of formidable power... Turns out you are only a youth who doesn't know the height of Noscent. How could your Merlin Family be so thick-skinned to follow us without any sort of power? It was actually you, that Mafa Merlin...

”Your Merlin Family is just that? Fifty people? And you have the nerve to go to the Storm Fort while walking with our Black Tower? Even if you aren't ashamed, I am ashamed!

”When we reach the Storm Fort, people from other forces will see you walking with our Black Tower and will definitely compare our Black Tower to the likes of you. You, a newly advanced Archmage, can actually serve as a Commander of the Merlin Family. That's unfathomable! It was a 5th Rank Sword Saint before, and now you. It's truly becoming trashier and trashier...

”Okay, I won't bother speaking with you, just take your people and leave, don't make us look bad…”

John was truly disapproving of the current situation.

A young man who seemed to be just over twenty had to be very gifted to advance to the Archmage realm. Unfortunately, this wasn't Noscent or their Family. Here, anyone under the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm was considered cannon fodder.

'Hmpf, the Merlin Family has already declined, for this kind of cannon fodder to come to the Raging Flame Plane as their Commander… Isn't this just throwing lives away? And he is not only throwing away his own life, but he is also bringing others along with him!

'And now, he still has the cheek to follow us and let us help him open a path for him. I don't know why Weiss would agree to let the members of the Merlin Family follow us. Moreover, that Mafa Merlin seems to think that tagging along with us is something perfectly normal. Truly trash! Hmpf, next time we meet magic beasts, I'll lead some here. Maybe that Mafa Merlin will soil his pants...

'Yes, that's perfect! It looks like we are going to reach the territory of a level 37 magic beast. I just have to lead that magic beast over, and most of these fifty people will die or be injured before reaching the Storm Fort. Let's see if he still has the courage to follow us then! If he doesn't clean up his act, he might as well die.

'Really, that newly advanced Archmage is just following along and being a burden to our Black Tower….'

After John finished speaking, the fifty High Mages expressionlessly hurried over and, just like in their drills, their magic staves shone, and the power of fire elements crazily converged.

This time, the fifty High Mages were following Lin Yun to battle. They were all in high spirits and were afraid of disappointing their master and benefactor.

They had once been uncertain members of the Merlin Family, the lowest of the low. They had poor talent and terrible comprehension of magic. They had no background and could only become Mages through luck, and perhaps, they would one day die as cannon fodder.

The Merlin Family sent them to Lin Yun as nothing more than a cheap gift, but then, everything changed. They ate properly, had good drinks, and all kinds of natural resources were used to increase their power. Furthermore, a formidable Artisan like Mafa Merlin personally crafted their staves.

'Hell, can the rest of the Merlin Family even ask for an Artisan to make a move? And craft fifty staves at once? That's too much, isn't it?'

From Mage to Great Mage, to the current High Mage realm... It was just like a dream. They all thought about it by themselves and felt that their current selves were all due to Mafa Merlin.

They finally had the chance to fight with Sir Mafa, but there was actually a fool that dared to mock him. This was asking for death!

'Just one frown from Sir Mafa, and we shall tear that damned idiot to pieces…'

The yawning Xiuban suddenly shook. He'd had good naps over the course of the past month, and he had grown bored and sleepy again on this trip. He was wondering whether he should go and stretch his muscles the next time they met a magic beast, so that arrogant person gave him a chance to have some fun.

Xiuban put down Carnage from his shoulder and bared his teeth at John.

”You dare to talk to Sir Merlin like this? Damn, don't you know that you are courting death? Sir Merlin doesn't need to move a finger, Lord Xiuban only needs one bite to get rid of you…”

As he said that, he spat out. The saliva flew like an arrow and crossed several meters in an instant, ruthlessly spraying towards John.

John was startled by this and promptly dodged. He heard a clear sound echo and saw that there was unexpectedly a huge hole in his robe from the saliva. The saliva sounded like an arrow as it ultimately hit the ground.

”Damnit! Barbarians are barbarians, and Merlins are really stupid beasts, just like Mafa Merlin…”

John stomped on the ground in fury as he cursed at Xiuban. At the time, the people in the front reacted to what was happening behind. The fifty High Mages simultaneously gathered their mana at a frightening speed. It was like a giant creature had suddenly awakened.
