Chapter 1361 - Glutton (1/2)

Seeing that, Lin Yun couldn’t help but step back, as if he was trying to avoid the danger. Levis, who had been observing him, was slightly surprised, and finally calmed down a little bit.

Damn it, was Mafa Merlin speaking the truth?

The idea had just occurred to Levis when Dalton screamed on the other side. The gray mist he pulled out was dozens of times bigger than what Lin Yun had attracted. The moment it touched Dalton’s left hand, he felt that the mana around his left hand was out of control. The gray mist was like a ferocious Heaven Rank beast in the middle of a bunch of sheep.

His extraordinary power and mana were both out of control. He couldn’t even feel his left hand anymore, and it quickly turned from healthily red to gray. His vitality was dispersing, and his left hand was completely corrupted.

Then, the corruption spread from Dalton’s left hand to his arm like a plague.

Dalton was pale. His mana waves were getting more and more chaotic. His soul waves were in disorder too. The power of holy light surged. In only three seconds, Dalton gritted his teeth, and summoned a crescent blade of light that cut off his left arm.

His left arm instantly turned gray after it was cut off. It was like a vivid gray sculpture. Then, it turned into ash and dispersed, and the gray mist flowed back into the tall, boundless wall of mist.

Even though the corruption only reached his wrist, Dalton didn’t hesitate to cut off his left arm completely. Nevertheless, a bit of the gray mist had entered his body.

Two seconds later, Dalton realized that he would be dead for sure if he didn’t do anything. Nobody could save him when his mana was completely out of control.

Immediately, Dalton took out his True Spirit Magic Tool, which enshrouded him in the power of holy light. The abundant holy light unstoppably pushed the gray mist to the wound on his left shoulder. Then, through the link between his True Spirit Magic Tool and himself, he drove the gray mist into the True Spirit Magic Tool.

After the gray mist entered the True Spirit Magic Tool, Dalton threw it aside without hesitation.

The magic tool floated as a ball of light. Five seconds later, the ball dispersed, and ash fell from the sky. That True Spirit Magic Tool, which was tailor-made for Dalton, and had accompanied him for 1,000 years, was destroyed just like that…

Dalton stood there with a twisted expression. Thanks to the holy light on his wound, there was not a drop of blood on his left shoulder. After he stabilized his mana, the holy light mages near Dalton quickly chanted spells.

Three holy light mages chanted for three minutes. Then, a huge amount of holy light emerged on the wound on Dalton’s left arm in the shape of an arm. Then, inside the light, veins, muscles, bones, and other parts were all quickly regenerating.

It was Limb Regeneration, an extraordinary holy light spell, which didn’t work very well for the Heaven Rank experts. It would take them a lot of time to adapt to new limbs.

Only better spells could let Heaven Rank mages grow new limbs that were the same as what they had earlier. Also, only their arms and legs could be reborn.

The three holy light mages chanted together, and cast a strengthened version of Limb Regeneration, which was more effective than it should’ve been.

After the new arm was grown, Dalton stared at Lin Yun so ominously that the flames in his eyes seemed to be burning Lin Yun into ashes.

“Mafa Merlin!”

Lin Yun shrugged, lost for words.

“Dalton, I warned you. I was an alchemist, so I tried to study the mist, but I almost got hurt. That’s why I warned you not to touch it. It’s not my fault. You didn’t listen to me. What could I have done?”

Lin Yun didn’t know what to say. He had wanted to be nice, but Dalton hadn’t believed him at all.

Danason and Levis both hesitated, but what Lin Yun said seemed to be true. His mana seemed to have been in chaos for a couple of seconds when he had touched the mist, but nobody had thought it had been a big deal.

Lin Yun hadn’t even finished his warning yet when Dalton already took action. Whose fault was that?

Dalton gritted his teeth and roared in fury. He didn’t know what to say. It was true that the people of the Holy Light Alliance were rabid dogs, but whenever they attacked, they almost always came up with a perfect excuse…

But there wasn’t a perfect excuse at this moment. The man had warned him despite the tension between them. It was his fault that he hadn’t listened. No matter how shameless he was, he couldn’t distort the facts in front of so many people. This wasn’t the Holy Light Alliance’s territory.

It wasn’t a smart choice to raise an internal conflict between the four forces. Who knew what treasures lay ahead? If he was kicked out by all the others, then he would’ve suffered for nothing.

Dalton gritted his teeth so hard that they were almost broken, but eventually he held back his fury. He saw that Levis and Danason were both angry.

Danason stepped up, and pointed at the mountain up ahead.

“There will be greater danger if we go down this road. We’d better all be careful. But there seem to be many special treasures ahead of us too.”

Hearing about the treasures, Dalton could only hold back his fury and move on.

Levis glanced at Lin Yun with a vague smile, but fear flashed in his eyes.

Although Dalton was like a rabid dog, he was not weak at all. He had to chop off his arm after touching a bit of the gray mist, and wasn’t safe until he sacrificed one of the best True Spirit Magic Tools.

Mafa Merlin, on the other hand, only had unstable mana for a couple of seconds. Didn’t it mean that Mafa Merlin was significantly stronger than Dalton? What a terrifying man. Had it not been for this incident, Levis probably wouldn’t have noticed that Mafa Merlin was the strongest person here.

If Levis were to fight Dalton, even though Levis might be slightly stronger than Dalton, the latter would surely win in the end. With the Heart of Luminosity, his combat ability was as good as the peak of the Heaven Rank, and he was no weaker than level-6 Heaven Rank experts.

Was Mafa Merlin already in level 6 of the Heaven Rank?

Never mind. The Storm Tower had never had any conflict with the Gilded Rose anyway. They had even made some deals. They were only here to loot the treasures, and there was no need to offend Mafa Merlin.

Everybody moved on. Passing through the boundless desolate plain, they soon reached the mountain they saw earlier.

The moment they entered the mountain, the boundless desolate plain behind them was completely gone. They found themselves in the middle of endless mountains. Chaotic and violent mana appeared in the sky, and black aura spread out like sticky ink that had dripped into the water.

A claw that was at least 50 meters long extended from the black aura. Immediately, the black aura exploded, and a shadow appeared above everybody’s head.

The claw that was more than 50 meters long smashed down on everyone ferociously…

Instantly, all sorts of mana and light were flashing. Everybody escaped in their own way.

The huge claw hit the hill that everybody was standing on, crushing it into pieces. The hill, which was dozens of meters tall, was gone, and only a claw mark[1] that was more than 50 meters long and 20 meters deep was left behind.
