Chapter 857 - Hugging Thigh (1/2)
Wagner chased all the way to the Radiant Fort, and sure enough, that terrifying barrier had already disappeared.
In the distance, he saw a large number of Black Iron Beastmen organizing the defenses of the Radiant Fort.
As they rushed towards it, Lin Yun glanced at the Radiant Fort’s dozen-meter-tall gate and slowly raised his Draconic Staff.
Three sounds came out of Lin Yun’s mouth as a terrifying magic power burst out of his body.
Several hundred meters of the ground around the Radiant Fort started shaking as a huge palm stretched out of the ground in front of the Radiant Fort.
The ash brown palm that towered over the gate was extremely lifelike and looked like an art piece. Even creases could be seen on the palm.
It patted the gate as if it was calming a pet, and that action made the entire Radiant Fort quake.
“Boom!”
The gate was shattered by the hand as if it was made of glass, and debris filled the sky.
Even the thick walls to its sides exploded into pieces…
In the distance, Wagner, who intended to convince Lin Yun, suddenly froze. He stared at the gate of the Radiant Fort with his mouth ajar as if he had seen a monster.
‘Heavens, what did I just see!?
‘That’s Gaia’s Hand? Is Gaia’s Hand so powerful? Damn, did Mafa Merlin do that? How long did he take to cast it? Three seconds? Two seconds?
‘That Gaia’s Hand looks so real, as if it’s a woman’s hand. Is this even the power of an Archmage?
‘This has to be a joke… This must be an illusion. Right, I must have seen an illusion…
‘How could that Mafa Merlin be so powerful, only needing a few seconds to cast an 8th Tier Spell, and such a powerful Gaia’s Hand at that…
‘When the 9th Rank Archmage of our Family used Gaia’s Hand last time, it wasn’t that powerful!’
Wagner was scared witless. He was breathing raggedly, and after closing his eyes, he cast a few Mind Defenses to expel any possible illusions.
He then rubbed his eyes before cautiously opening them again, hoping everything he had seen just now had been an illusion.
But when he opened his eyes again, the gate of the Radiant Fort was still completely shattered, leaving behind a huge hole. It was as if a piece of a huge cake had been cut out, and from that huge opening, a large crowd of Black Iron Beastmen was rushing out.
Despair and disbelief could be seen on Wagner’s pale face…
‘Sh*t, could it be that Mafa Merlin is the strongest? Damnit, I understand now, I finally understand. Why else would that elite mage army follow Mafa Merlin obediently and do everything he said?
‘They all followed him, and none of them resisted or doubted his decisions…
‘Right, he was training them, it was just training. The power of the fifty mages wasn’t that high before, but while they were acting as vanguards for us, many among them advanced to the Archmage realm…
‘And there is that icy woman at Mafa Merlin’s side, that poor-looking alchemy puppet, and that Magic Tool Incarnation carrying a wheel-shaped Magic Tool around… Including Mafa Merlin, none of them made a move…
‘If that Mafa Merlin was that strong, then wouldn’t his subordinates be very frightening too…?’
Wagner rapidly recalled some details he had overlooked, and his eyelids twitched.
‘That Mafa Merlin was only followed by that cold woman, the puppet, and the Magic Tool Incarnation. As for that monstrous Beastman with unfathomable physique, he didn’t even have the qualifications to stand near Mafa Merlin…
‘Sh*t, that monstrous Beastman can kill an 8th Rank Black Iron Beastman Sword Saint going all-out… Doesn’t that mean that the others are even stronger than him?’
In order to save some time, Lin Yun had immediately cast a spell, but that made Wagner think of a lot of things.
