Chapter 1316 - Magic Electromagnetic Cannon (1/2)

“Damn you, bastard. I’m going to rip your face, hang your head on my bedroom door, and use your skin as a doormat…”

Sunny screamed in shock and fury. Her ominous aura spread out crazily. The vibe of death was rising too. More and more Screaming Ghosts were appearing…

Reina and Sunny were fighting, and so were Xiuban and Sheldon. However, Lin Yun remained still, and stared at Myers.

Myers didn’t move, either, and simply gazed at Lin Yun. Behind Myers, a dozen Heaven Rank experts were protecting him. They ignored the other battles, and stayed around Myers like bodyguards.

Gradually, the atmosphere became more and more suffocating. Around Lin Yun, the Heaven Rank aura was spreading out. The mana that flowed out of his body was already half as much as the total mana of a regular level-4 Heaven Rank expert. The mana turned into water drops, and circled around Lin Yun.

Lin Yun held the Draconic Staff in his hand. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras were floating on his sides. The Book of Death was in his left hand. The chains on the surface of the book had been broken, but the book hadn’t been opened yet.

The illusion of a wheel that was dozens of meters in diameter floated behind Lin Yun. The wheel looked like countless overlapping circles. Infinite law runes were appearing and disappearing with the spinning wheel.

On his opposite side, Myers rose to the sky too, with a glittering colorful crystal ball in his hand. He simply gazed at Lin Yun with light spreading in his eyes like ripples.

After they confronted each other for almost 10 minutes, Myers finally opened his mouth in regret.

“Mafa Merlin, you’re very strong. At least, you’re the only mage below level 5 of the Heaven Rank that I cannot see through with my eyes. You’re not even 40 yet, yet you’re already a level-4 Heaven Rank expert. You’re very gifted too.

“I’m told that you are a great Artisan who’s not just good at potions, but also familiar with magic tools, alchemy puppets, and alchemy arrays. In many aspects, your alchemy expertise is even better than that of the Artisans.

“You’ve surpassed a lot of people in terms of theoretical research. You are a real genius.

“You might not know this yet, but our organization is called the Thorny Crown. The Shadow Tower and the Ring of Roses are both subordinates to the Thorny Crown. Unlike other mages, we seek the truth of magic.

“I’m not interested in the grudge between you and the Shadow Tower or the Ring of Roses. That’s their own business. You haven’t affected the Thorny Crown yet.”

Lin Yun sneered coldly. The Thorny Crown was established thousands of years ago. Back then, it was truly a loose alliance founded by mages who pursued the truth of magic. The purpose of the alliance was just magic studies.

However, the Thorny Crown was no longer a loose alliance. It was an organization of deranged people who would risk anything to become stronger. Transplanting the bloodline of other creatures was never acceptable at this moment or in the future.

“I walk on a thorny road. The thorns are stained with my blood. I reach for the bloody thorns and weave them into a crown. May I be coronated with this crown at the end of the thorny road,” Lin Yun read unhurriedly. Myers instantly seemed astonished.

“Why do you know the Thorny Crown’s vow?”

There was disdain in Lin Yun’s eyes.

“The Thorny Crown was founded for a glorious purpose. Many theories and studies today were actually started by the initial members of the Thorny Crown. Unfortunately, as they grew old and died, the Thorny Crown deteriorated. You’ve forgotten what the three founders set out for…”

The surprise on Myers’ face was gone. The colorful crystal ball in his hand suddenly dazzled.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Will Myers. You may call me Myers. If we had met elsewhere, I would’ve invited you to join the Thorny Crown.

“But unfortunately, here I can only say that I’m sorry for your passing. This plane has to be the Thorny Crown’s. It’s very important for us. I’m truly sorry.

“You may not know the gap between level 4 and level 5 of the Heaven Rank yet. It’s totally unlike the difference between previous levels. I know you’re very strong, but your journey ends here. May you rest in peace, Mafa Merlin.”

After saying that, Myers suddenly unleashed a horrifying aura. The illusion of a Demiplane appeared behind Myers. The horrifying aura dispersed the thin clouds in the sky. The air became daunting and suppressing. It seemed that all laws were helping Myers, and supporting him at this moment.

Feeling the pressure of pure laws, Lin Yun established a Fusion Shield. Still, he felt that he was restrained, and could only use 80% of his strength.

Facing such a strong man like Myers, 80% of his strength and 10% of it would be the same. If he couldn’t unleash 120% of his strength, it would mean that he couldn’t possibly fight him.

Examining the pressure, Lin Yun heaved a sigh. As expected, without the enhancement of his Demiplane that helped resist the laws, he was too weak to fight the man. Dealing with a level-5 Heaven Rank mage and dealing with an alchemy puppet on the same level were completely different.

No wonder level 5 of the Heaven Rank was a major threshold. The mages’ domination started exactly from here. Above level 5 of the Heaven Rank, the distinguished mages would rank higher than all the other extraordinary creatures on the same level.

Apart from their wisdom, human beings were definitely the weakest among all creatures on their level. Their bloodline was too weak. However, above level 5 of the Heaven Rank, the restraint of bloodline would be completely gone, and wisdom would play a bigger and bigger part. When they reached the peak of the Heaven Rank, very few extraordinary creatures would be able to fight mages…

Examining the pressure, Lin Yun had to summon the projection of his Demiplane. The pressure of the power of laws was the greatest. He wasn’t completely suppressed, because he wasn’t much weaker. If he hadn’t been able to resist the pressure, then the battle would’ve ended already.

The projection of his Demiplane that accommodated his understanding of laws appeared. He invoked the power of laws. The pillar glimmered, and projected the power of laws that had naturally evolved in his Demiplane.

Even though the laws that evolved in his Natural Demiplane couldn’t be used at all without being grasped first, their protection was quite flawless.

When the projection of his Natural Demiplane appeared, Myers’ pressure was resisted easily.

The competitions of laws were always direct and fierce. In the space between Lin Yun and Myers, belts of light were twisting and flashing. It was a pure clash of the power of laws. It almost seemed that there was an aurora shining and rising between them. It was splendid yet dangerous. Anything else that was caught up in it would’ve been torn into shreds.

Time went by slowly. It was not until three minutes later that the splendid aurora between Lin Yun and Myers was finally gone. The competition of laws had reached an impasse. Neither of them could crush their opponent with their power of laws.

Myers had mastered laws that were essentially more powerful than Lin Yun’s, but Lin Yun grasped a larger number of laws. Also, thanks to the projection of his Natural Demiplane, he was almost invulnerable to the power of laws. He could barely attack with the Natural Demiplane, but his defenses were much higher than his level.
