Chapter 1164 - Altar (1/2)

a desert demon with a level in the mid-30 facing an incarnation with wisdom controlling a first-rate true spirit magic tool. he wasn’t an idiot, he knew that the best course of action was to remain silent and act as if he didn’t hear anything.

enderfa laughed at slythrin for a bit before getting bored since he couldn’t get any reaction from the mute and deaf slythrin.

slythrin waited on the side and made himself as small as possible as he calmly waited for lin yun to finish burning the desert.

as time passed, slythrin understood that pieces of golden metal were mixed within the burnt desert.

slowly, the amount of lava reduced and more dark golden metal appeared.

this time, slythrin finally understood that lin yun was refining metal and treated the few kilometers range of the desert as a one-time use mine.

but after seeing this, slythrin felt more and more that his decision had been very wise.

‘damn, mafa merlin didn’t even take the initiative to get rid of me. in his eyes, i might already be unworthy of him doing the job himself.

‘the flames released by that extraordinary magic tool actually cover several kilometers. a fire 1st rank heaven mage definitely isn’t that powerful, and the flames released by those flaming gates seems almost infinite.

‘since mafa merlin can bring his own magic tools, then he definitely has a way to take those extracted magic materials out.

‘we can’t take away any precious resource of the abyss, so we don’t really care. but mafa merlin is different. this kind of dark golden metal must be very precious… it feels like i’ve seen it somewhere.

‘forget it, it doesn’t matter. it would really be an unjust death if i got infected by the flames… that idiot dubois is truly courting death if he wants to fight mafa merlin.

‘he was really lucky to live to this day after almost killing mafa merlin.

‘he should have been grateful that mafa merlin didn’t even look for him, yet he actually took the initiative to plot against mafa merlin.

‘that stupid idiot deserves to have turned into a filthy demon’s mouth. he is really courting death, that stupid idiot’s head is definitely full of lava like those demons.

‘hmpf, just wait for death. you only have two demon overlords while mafa merlin has a first-rate true spirit magic tool and an extraordinary magic tool. who knows if mafa merlin still has other methods.

‘as long as there are more, those two foolish demon overlords bewitched by dubois would definitely suffer a very miserable death.’

the flames coming from the book of mantras’ flame world burned for three days within three kilometers and left a huge hole.

on the edge of the hole, the melted sand formed an eight-meter-thick glass wall. looking at it from above, it was like a three-kilometer-wide glass cup had suddenly appeared in the desert.

it was four to five hundred-meter-deep and everything within had been burnt into nothingness. only chunks of eternal dark gold had fallen to the bottom of the hole.

lin yun floated towards the bottom of the hole and opened his demiplane to summon a group of puppets to carry those chunks of eternal dark gold into his demiplane.

after a few minutes, lin yun returned to the surface of the desert. slythrin was still obediently sitting there.

“when the crimson sun sets for the 13th time from today, those two demon overlords will jointly attack your territory.”

lin yun barely arrived that slythrin promptly told him this news.

lin yun attentively stared at slythrin and cold sweat started trickling down the latter’s back.

after no less than ten seconds, lin yun suddenly opened his mouth, “there are a lot of sand-like ores mixed with the sand, can you throw those into this hole?”

after hearing those words, slythrin sighed in relief and promptly nodded.

“there is no problem, desert demons are the most experts at this kind of thing. this desert also has many abyssal lifeforms that are expert at stealthily moving through the desert.”

lin yun nodded and turned to lead enderfa and syudos away.

slythrin’s appearance was an unexpected accident. lin yun was a bit surprised at slythrin’s words, but he didn’t really care.

instead, he was puzzled at how to treat slythrin. this guy had been malicious before, but he changed for some unknown reason, he even sold dubois out.

after thinking for a bit, lin yun understood. if people knew that the arrogant dubois had become the mount of a demon, he would never be able to wash that stain in his life and he would never be able to raise his head in the future.

it wouldn’t be surprising if he was laughed to death by other heaven rank powerhouses.

since slythrin knew of that matter, dubois would definitely get rid of him after the plot is complete.

after lin yun’s magic tool was revealed, slythrin thoroughly defected. retaliation? how could he dare…

this guy surrendered but lin yun couldn’t take him with him. dubois would definitely be alerted if he took him with him. the abyss’ dwellers don’t have a sense of secrecy.

in the end, he remembered that slythrin was a mage of the quicksand tower and was now a desert demon with all the abyssal lifeforms within the area under his control.

‘isn’t he the best miner? i’ll just have this guy lead those abyssal lifeforms to excavate ores from the desert and throw them into that hole. i’ll only have to come and pick them up.’

as for whether slythrin would double-cross him, lin yun simply didn’t care.

because this was the abyss, he wouldn’t be able to run before advancing to level 40. slythrin would have to wash his neck and wait for his death if he tried to double-cross him.

obviously, slythrin wasn’t the kind of person who would give up his life for dubois…

after returning to his territory, lin yun started thinking on how he should face the two demon overlords.

heaven rank demon overlords weren’t something he could get rid of at the moment. he was a level 38 pureblood flame demon. although his bloodline was considered to be a silver bloodline, he wasn’t powerful enough to get rid of two demon overlords.

as he thought about it, lin yun quietly appeared at the intersection of the three territories. countless lives had been lost in this battlefield, it was full of bones as the flesh had been licked clean by the greedy and hungry abyssal lifeforms. the earth turned dark red and a foul bloody smell could be felt when approaching.

as he walked around the quiet battlefield, lin yun left burnt black marks on his wake. black smoke curled around those burnt black marks and transformed into abyssal runes that merged within the earth.

lin yun rapidly walked around the battlefield, leaving burnt black runes behind which formed a huge array. but it was actually a relatively simple basic array.

this was a new method of portraying runes that lin yun had researched as a flame demon. holding a pen to write runes was impossible as even steel pens would melt instantly.

condensing the runes under his feet and then imprinting them onto the earth was the fastest method.

he took a trip around this seven-kilometer-big battlefield. those black runes merged with the earth but the entire battlefield didn’t look any different.

after leaving the battlefield, lin yun returned to the steel fort and swallowed a few dozen bottles of pure mana water. he used the properties of the abyssal magic bug to rapidly reach level 39. the restriction of the pureblood flame demon’s bloodline finally appeared at this level.

pureblood flame demon would reach level 39 when they reached adulthood. if they wanted to advance to level 40 and obtain extraordinary power, they would need a very long accumulation of power and comprehension.

naturally, comprehension didn’t exist for demons. there was only war, battle, slaughter. in slaughter and battle, they would be able to find the power allowing them to keep leveling up.
