Chapter 1242 - Gandaph (1/2)
The elemental flames on the edge of the flood of flames were stripped and exposed a golden hand covered in flaming patterns. It looked like it had been carved from a pure flame crystal.
The huge pressure immediately increased as that large hand appeared and the bursting Extraordinary Power sharply increased a few times.
The windfire flood and the elemental storm released by Syudos and Enderfa were instantly crushed by this large hand.
Then, the large hand’s pressure reached Lin Yun. He was still over a hundred meters away, yet his Fusion Shield started fiercely fluctuating, it would definitely be shattered if that large hand hit it.
Lin Yun frowned, the flame rune on his forehead started transforming and three more law auras were added to the strong flaming aura.
The Laws of Wind, Earth, Water, and Wind were flickering. The rune on Lin Yun’s forehead was now flickering with four colored lights and he emitted an even more terrifying aura. The surrounding elements started cheering as they converged towards Lin Yun out of their own volition.
After fully displaying the Elemental Spirit King Incarnation, all elemental power within several kilometers, and not under anyone control, started frantically converging towards this place.
And this kind of convergence caused a chain reaction within ten kilometers. The elemental concentration rapidly plummeted and the surrounding elemental power was also replenished independently.
A kilometer-big vortex of four elements took shape in the air, and that huge elemental power kept frantically converging towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was pale, the Elemental Spirit King Incarnation wasn’t so easy to use. Without the almost endless mana reserves of the Natural Demiplane, one second would be enough to drain all his mana.
But even so, the Natural Demiplane’s replenishing rate couldn’t compare to the Elemental Spirit King Incarnation’s consumption. At this rate, Lin Yun could only use it for ten seconds before his mana was completely exhausted. Even if there was a steady stream of mana coming from the Demiplane, he couldn’t keep it up.
Thus, it was most efficient to directly release the most powerful Four Element Runic Bomb and use the Law Runes and Elemental Spirit King Incarnation to forcibly accumulate power exceeding his own rank and limits. That barrier wouldn’t be there to restrict it and it would completely destroy everything within a few kilometers. The shockwave would spread even further.
The terrifying convergence of power immediately attracted a large number of powerhouses towards this side, this gave Grimm a headache, he really hadn’t expected Lin Yun to be that powerful. As for Layford, he was extremely pale, he had yet to regain control over his body and mana. He thought about moving his leg, but his hand moved instead.
His mind ordered his body to release a shield, but with his mana being a mess, he couldn’t even release a 1st Tier Spell…
Layford was in disbelief as he looked at Lin Yun flying in the air, despair could be seen in his eyes. How could he have expected Lin Yun to be powerful enough to resist against Grimm.
‘Shouldn’t he have died instantly?
‘He was still an Archmage half a year ago…Even if he already advanced to the Heaven realm, how could he resist the attack of a Peak 4th Rank Heaven Mage? That gap is so great that I can’t even begin to fathom. How come he hasn’t been instantly killed? How could it be like this?’
Layford couldn’t escape or block, he could only watch. He didn’t need to think to know that the mere fluctuations of the upcoming magic collision would be enough to get rid of him.
It was too late for Grimm to de-escalate the situation, he didn’t know what to do. Such a commotion would definitely cause a huge mess…
Just as Lin Yun’s extreme Four Element Runic Bomb was about to fully condense, and just as Grimm’s flaming hand was about to clash with it, silver light flickered and a Spatial Door appeared in the center of the battlefield.
An old man with hair flickering with a silver white radiance walked out of the Spatial Door. As that old man appeared, the mana in his surroundings was suddenly smoothened. The old man raised his hand and waved at the approaching flaming hand, routing and dissipating it easily.
As for his other hand, he waved it towards Lin Yun. At this moment, Lin Yun felt an irresistible and terrifying power emerge. It was like an invisible giant hand lightly brushing him away. The huge elemental vortex above Lin Yun’s head was instantly defeated and the extreme Four Element Runic Bomb Lin Yun had condensed also turned into a huge wave of elemental power charging into the sky.
That irresistible and terrifying power was like the will of the world itself, even Lin Yun with his Elemental Spirit King Incarnation couldn’t stop his attack from dispersing.
“Enough.”
The old man calmly hovered in the air, his white gown embroidered with gold threads not fluctuating in the least. Moreover, the mana surging in the surroundings completely dissipated.
Seeing this old man appear and end the battle in such a dazzling and tyrannical way, Lin Yun decisively scattered his Elemental Spirit King Incarnation. Its mana consumption was something even Lin Yun couldn’t support. If he was careless, just a little bit negligent when absorbing mana from the Demiplane, then his vitality and soul would start being consumed.
As for Grimm, shock could be seen on his face when he saw that old man and he also stopped casting. He scattered the mana surging over his body and respectfully greeted him.
“Dean Gandaph.”
Gandaph looked like a gentle old man wearing a white robe. No strong aura could be felt coming from his body, but just by standing there, Lin Yun felt as if he was standing in front of a peaceful sea and that a single wave could crush him.
Dean Gandaph was one of the three Saint Alchemists of the Starry Sky College. It was the first time Lin Yun encountered a Saint Alchemist and shock could be seen in his eyes. That wasn’t the pure terrifying aura of a Heaven Mage, it wasn’t fierce, nor did it feel powerful, it instead felt deep and immeasurable. This was the most terrifying part.
Just the fact that he forcibly opened a Spatial Door in the middle of the battlefield explained a lot. Gandaph was a lot stronger than Grimm and Lin Yun, he had to be able to completely overpower them or he wouldn’t have been able to open a Spatial Door in the middle of the battlefield.
Gandaph had a calm expression and a gentle smile, but his thoughts didn’t align with his expression. He felt embarrassed as he looked at Lin Yun and Grimm.
As one of the deans of the Starry Sky College, Zeith had already reported the ins and outs of this gathering to him. He had a rough understanding of how many truth runes every Artisan was able to research.
He had been waiting for Lin Yun to copy the mysteries of the truth runes he had researched and was even prepared to pay a huge price this time. But no matter what, the price couldn’t compare to the mysteries contained within the truth runes. As long as they had these mysteries, the Starry Sky College would remain as the Holy Land of alchemists. They might even be able to nurture a Saint Alchemist.
Maybe more than one Saint Alchemist would be nurtured. For that, even trading ten planes rich in resources wouldn’t be a loss.
But it was like this now. The battle’s fluctuations would definitely be sensed by all mages within a few dozen kilometers. If it became known that an Artisan was robbed of his research in the Starry Sky College’s territory, no one would attend their future gatherings.
But this was a thorny problem now that an assistant dean of the Starry Sky College personally participated in this matter. If he stood on the side of the Starry Sky College’s assistant dean, then the Starry Sky College would lose all credibility.
But if he stood on Lin Yun’s side, he would have to deal with the Starry Sky College’s assistant dean impartially while also offending the Jackson Family. Offending a Family and causing internal strife for the sake of an Andlusan Artisan, was it worth it?
In any case, the copy of these mysteries would definitely be obtained by the Starry Sky College. Thus, it was for the best to play peacemaker and de-escalate the issue. At worst, they would just pay more for the trade.
If not for that fight, Gandaph wouldn’t have appeared, but the internal matters of the Starry Sky College could clearly be seen.
