Chapter 1001 - Black Burn Scar (1/2)

The others weren’t proficient in alchemy and at most had some basic knowledge of it. Thus, they wouldn’t think too much about an Artisan and wouldn’t know how difficult it was to reach that stage. However, all the mages of Sky City needed to master alchemy as well as magic.

Their status was directly related to the height they reached in alchemy, and it was even more important than their magical strength. Sky City had two Artisans, one of whom was only a 5th Rank Archmage, but his position in Sky City was the same as that of a Heaven Mage.

Not far from there, Jouyi sighed as he answered Raphael’s question. “Sir Merlin is really an Artisan. He is the most talented person I’ve ever met, and he might become a Saint Alchemist after a few decades. He would be the youngest Saint Alchemist in Noscent’s history.”

Raphael was reverent and no longer displayed his doubts.

But Dylas still didn’t dare to believe it and loudly shouted, “This is impossible! That guy is definitely pretending! Even an Artisan can’t use four crystal pens at the same time…”

Lin Yun didn’t even look at Dylas as he casually nodded at Raphael, “Sir Raphael, we don’t have time to waste. We have to work as fast as possible…”

Raphael nodded. A genuine Artisan’s basic rune-carving technique would definitely be a few times above a Master Alchemist’s.

His huge pool of knowledge could bring speed and stability that had nothing to do with hand speed.

Lin Yun nodded, and he held a crystal pen in each hand while controlling the other two magically.

He cast Sharp Mind and Haste on himself before countless runes started appearing in his eyes.

In an instant, Lin Yun’s hands turned into shadows, while the floating crystal pens turned into mirages.

A large number of runes and patterns appeared like flowing water.

The speed was extremely fast, a few times faster than the four mages of Sky City working together!

Raphael was instantly stunned. And it wasn’t just Raphael; everyone watching foolishly.

Raphael was looking at Lin Yun drawing the array with shock. It was as if he was looking at a living God.

‘Damn, is this even something a human can do? An Artisan can have such a speed? He not only used Sharp Mind, but he also cast Haste on himself?

‘Is his natural hand speed unable to keep up with his thoughts? Such incredible speed, while still being able to maintain the neatness of a textbook… Are Artisans that formidable?’

The bottleneck for alchemists was always the speed of their calculations and analysis, not the drawing speed. This was an accepted truth, yet this person was shattering this truth. Raphael felt that the world had changed. He had always felt that being a first-rate Master Alchemist was worth being prideful about.

But he wouldn’t dare call himself a Master Alchemist from now on. It was too shameful…

Everyone from the Odin Kingdom gaping at Lin Yun as he set up the array. Not a single sound could be heard for ten seconds.

Although Jouyi, Harren, and the Azurewave Sword Saint were amazed, what they felt even more strongly was pride.

The Andlusa Kingdom was truly too far behind the Odin Kingdom. The Odin Kingdom had always been looking down on them, especially in the field of alchemy. Yet now, they had been able to display a level of alchemy that could even stupefy the citizens of the Odin Kingdom. They could finally let go of that bad feeling that they had been holding in.

Dylas opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t find anything to criticize when looking at Lin Yun’s artistic performance. Anything he could say would just invite disgrace upon himself.

He had yet to come up with anything to say when Raphael suddenly glared at him.

“Sir Dylas, pay attention to your own task.”

Dylas coldly snorted and walked back to the entrance of the valley and replaced the mage there.

With Lin Yun personally making the array, the runes, which would take most of the time, were rapidly dealt with, and the rest of the alchemists weren’t able to process magic materials fast enough to keep up with Lin Yun’s speed.

In less than twenty minutes, Lin Yun completed the entire array on his own.

Sky City’s three alchemists were looking at Lin Yun with admiration. He drew the array so incredibly quickly while using four crystal pens. The array, runes, and patterns could all be used as textbook materials, and many areas had been refined.

The diverse areas that Lin Yun had refined were a lot more effective.

In the world of alchemy, the most formidable ones obtained respect, regardless of where they were from.

After he finished drawing the array, he joined in with arranging the array, doubling the speed at which the array was being put in order.

The array ended up being deployed in less than half an hour. They would have already activated it if they weren’t still waiting for the Burning Tower’s people to arrive.

After five more minutes, Dedale arrived at the valley after following the magic beacon.

The array was activated, and numerous runes started moving on the ground as a several-hundred-meter-wide array blossomed with terrifying mana fluctuations.
