End of the Magic Era Chapter 1226 - Power Up

1226 Power UpA few law runes spat out of Lin Yun’s mouth and instantly turned into countless Wind Shields. These were Low Tier Wind Shields, but there was over eight hundred of them.

Eight hundred Wind Shields were layered in front of Lin Yun, only to be shattered in an instant.
It was like an invisible power pierced through the eight hundred shields in an instant!
The speed of that Swift Wind Blade was so fast that these Low Tier Wind Shields simply couldn’t resist.
But these eight hundred Wind Shields weren’t truly straight, they were set up at an angle. The angle of each shield was a bit different and the deflection of these Low Tier Wind Shields was minimal. But eight hundred were enough to slightly deflect the sharp Swift Wind Blade by a meter.
This was more than enough. Lin Yun didn’t even see the Wind Blade, he only felt a sharp blade grazing him.
The Swift Wind Blade dissipated. That spell couldn’t be cracked, and if it couldn’t hit, it meant that the spell was ineffective. That was more than enough.
The Swift Wind Blade’s living puppet suddenly collapsed and dissipated into runes drifting in the air. And almost at the same time, that small lightning bolt shuttled through the space and impacted Lin Yun’s Wind Incarnation.
Lin Yun reversed his mana just as the lightning bolt was about to hit the Wind Elemental Incarnation and forcibly collapsed it while simultaneously releasing a Wind Flash to follow the scattered elements of the dissipated Destruction Storm, his body flying into an arc.
The Wind Elemental Incarnation scattering meant that the Lightning Impact’s power would be fully released and the lightning bolt would split and scatter.
Lin Yun’s Wind Flash was interrupted in the air, but his body still flew according to the trajectory he had been following. Only a weak paralysis effect landed on his body and numbed him.
But it didn’t paralyze Lin Yun’s mana, he only temporarily lost control of his body, but this didn’t really affect his fighting strength. He only needed one second to get rid of that Lightning Impact living spell.
Ultimately, the living spell collapsed and scattered before turning into runes floating in the air.
No more living spells could be found within the area. Lin Yun’s body twitched and it took him five to six seconds to slowly recover.
Lin Yun’s face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. These were the signs of overdrafting his spirit.
Everything with the Book of Mantras was based on spells. When subduing it, it wouldn’t calculate absolute power, thus, the strongest living spells were at the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm.
This made it so that Lin Yun had to dodge and rely on his Wind Law and wind spells’ comprehension. Forcibly resisting those spells was absolutely impossible.
This was the rule of this floor, the rule of the Book of Mantras.
After recovering for a few minutes, Lin Yun rapidly flew to the central platform formed out of gales. This was the core of this layer, and only by controlling this place could one control this world of winds.
After flying to that small wind platform, Lin Yun spat out law runes and left his own mark on this wind world ‘s core. Lin Yun had to stop moving for no less than ten minutes.
This was also the reason why he needed to get rid of all the living spells. If he was interrupted, he would have to restart from scratch.
After thoroughly imprinting it, Lin Yun summoned Syudos. The flaming Syudos could be considered incompatible with this place, and he started being rejected by this wind world just as he arrived here.
Lin Yun grabbed Syudos and fiercely stuffed him inside the core of the wind world, which was already under his control.
Soon, the ball of flames could be seen distorting and transformation inside. The endless gales seemed to seep into Syudos’ body from every angle.
The wind power started corroding Syudos and blood-curdling screeches started echoing.
Although a Flame Spirit King couldn’t be burnt from flames it could be injured by other elemental powers. A Flame Spirit King would definitely die if they fell into a Wind Elemental Plane.
But this wind world was already under Lin Yun’s control, it was already conquered by Lin Yun. This floor was Lin Yun’s world, he controlled both the flame world and the wind world. And Syudos, as the Magic Tool Incarnation of the Book of Mantras, definitely couldn’t die in a world controlled by the Book of Mantras.
The power of the Book of Mantras couldn’t destroy Syudos, but Syudos was a pure Flame Spirit. However the Book of Mantras wouldn’t compromise, so there was only one outcome: Altering Syudos.
Slowly, a large amount of wind power appeared in Syudos’ pure flaming body. Under the power of the Book of Mantras, that wind power forcibly altered Syudos body and modified his race.
After a few hours, Syudos stopped struggling. His body turned into a whirling flame, as if he was a Wind Elemental set ablaze.
By the time Syudos left the core of this wind world, he no longer suffered from any rejection. The wind elements even took the initiative to get out of his way, just like the fire elements of his flame world.
Seeing Syudos safely controlling this floor, Lin Yun faintly relaxed. After all, based on his comprehension of the Book of Mantras, most of the Book of Mantras’ power couldn’t be used, but that didn’t mean that the Book of Mantras didn’t possess this kind of power.
As the Book of Mantras’ Incarnation, being transformed into a Wind Elemental was the most probable outcome. And it now looked like this was really the case. Syudos’ Life Essence had been forcibly changed into a Wind Flame Elemental, a special elemental lifeform that could control both elements.
After the spells within the elemental world were smoothly obeying once again, the place regained its original appearance. After leaving the Book of Mantras’ world, the Book of Mantras appeared once again before Lin Yun’s eyes.
Wind was curling around the Book of Mantras while a burning layer of flames could be seen swaying on its cover. As that door appeared, it also transformed into a mixed door of flames and wind. The flames and wind mixed together to form an even more powerful windfire power.
With the Book of Mantras’ power having been strengthened, Syudos could now display the power of the 2nd Rank. During battle, Lin Yun would also be able to buff the Spell Wheel to the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm through the Equilibrium Law.
Syudos was currently calming down the wind world within the Book of Mantras, while simultaneously adapting to the new wind power. He would be unable to display his full power for a short period of time.
After going back to check on the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun could see that the newly established Demiplane perfectly fused with the Natural Demiplane. The water of the Mana Lake had also decreased as it was absorbed by that pillar in the center of the Natural Demiplane.
All the mana was being poured there to increase the growth speed of that most special place. Originally, only the upper part of the pillar emitted that multi-colored radiance, but now, three fifths of the pillar were already shining as the mana of the Mana Lake was poured into it. The growth of that area would be very fast in a short period of time.
After leaving the Natural Demiplane, Reina had fallen into a slumber and a wisp of Extraordinary Power fluctuation started appearing on her body. By the time she woke up, she would be at the Heaven Rank. When the time comes, she would transform into a higher rank Dragon. In terms of talent, she couldn’t be compared with Chromatic Dragons anymore.
As for Xiuban, he was still worried and impatient and ended up taking advantage of Lin Yun’s meditation to steal a Golden Temptation Potion from his laboratory. Unfortunately, he took the wrong potion and had been running along the edge of the Natural Demiplane for the past two days.
Lin Yun casually suppressed Xiuban in the center of the Demiplane to let him calm down. Ever since Lin Yun advanced to the Heaven Rank, all his subordinates advanced one after another. Even the mages of the mage army advanced, the fifty mages could pressure Xiuban when working together, which was the reason why the Draconic Beastman was so impatient.
After leaving the Natural Demiplane, Lin Yun turned to glance at the ruins. After contemplating for a bit, he spat out a law rune and used the law rune power to twist the light at the entrance of these ruins so that the ruins could no longer become visible. After taking care of it, he turned and left.
The harvest of the exploration had been pretty great. He originally thought he would be able to walk out of here with the Reedpush Plate, but he hadn’t expected that he would obtain the Reedpush Plate’s design, the method to transplant Heaven Puppets’ ability runes, and a key that could open a Planar Path to the Puppet Plane at will.
These three things wouldn’t be of great use to him by themselves, as he wouldn’t be able to transplant ability runes if he couldn’t capture Heaven Puppets, he wouldn’t be able to complete the Reedpush Plate if he couldn’t get the ability runes, and even if the key to enter the Puppet Plane at will had some use, Lin Yun already had a way to enter the Puppet Plane from the Raging Flame Plane, it was just more convenient.
There were still many confusing things, but he couldn’t get an answer at the moment. He already got the most important thing he came for.
After calculating the time, he figured out that the Starry Sky College’s gathering would start the next day and that he had to return now. If he rushed back now, he would arrive just in time to participate. Lin Yun opened his mouth and spat out three silver white mysterious law runes which transformed into a silver white door opening before him.
After stepping into the Spatial Door, Lin Yun’s figure thoroughly disappeared. The place he had just been at remained normal, thin mana, no powerful beast, and no outstanding resource. There might be no other mage paying attention to this space within the next millennium.
A silver white light appeared in the sky ten kilometers from Neverwinter City. The light was like silver threads weaved by a skilled hand into a three-meter-tall white door. The entrance was slowly pushed open and a youthful palm stretched out.
Lin Yun moved out of that Spatial Door and flew towards Neverwinter City. The defenses of Neverwinter City made it so that no one but the lord of the city could open a Spatial Door inside that range. Opening one ten kilometers away was already quite formidable.
On the ground, a large number of pedestrians and carriages moving towards Neverwinter City looked at Lin Yun with envy.
An old 9th Rank Archmage had a respectful expression as he quietly watched Lin Yun’s silhouette disappear. He then sighed at his disciple next to him.
“Look, that’s a powerful Heaven Mage, and one of the most powerful ones.
“This is ten kilometers away from Neverwinter City, and this is the limit of how close to Neverwinter City a Spatial Door can be opened.
“Ordinary Heaven Mages can only open a Spatial Door twenty kilometers away. That is where the effects of Neverwinter City’s restrictions are at its lowest. And for here, unless it’s a Heaven Mage that comprehended the Law of Space, no one should be able to open a Spatial Door here!
“How close to Neverwinter City they could open a Spatial Door was a criteria used to judge a Heaven Mage’s power, because Spatial Door is a spell that all Heaven Mages instinctively understood. Only mages powerful enough could safely open a Spatial Door while under the effect of interferences.
Lin Yun flew in Neverwinter City. In the distance, the team of Griffin Riders, that had seen Lin Yun before, were about to fly over, but they were rapidly blocked by their captain.
“Captain, why are you preventing us from capturing that guy? No flying above Neverwinter City is a law. If others learnt about this, we would definitely be punished…”
Shock covered the captain’s face before he fiercely cursed.
“Idiot, I know the laws of Neverwinter City better than you. Guests of the Starry Sky College can fly above Neverwinter City, have you forgotten that?”
“But, Captain… Although he is an Artisan, isn’t he just a 9th Rank Archmage?”
The Griffin Rider Captain’s expression flickered. The Griffin he was riding restlessly let out a deep cry. After appeasing his partner, the Griffin Rider Captain softly sighed and suddenly recalled the scene he had seen in the Starry Sky College.
A 9th Rank Archmage fought a 2nd Rank dark curse mage to a standstill. Even after the dark curse mage integrated with his Magic Tool and burst out with full power, he was only at a slight disadvantage.
But now, he had already reached the Heaven Rank…
“Remember this. Don’t provoke that guy, he isn’t a 9th Rank Archmage. He just opened a Spatial Door ten kilometers from Neverwinter City.
“Don’t judge others based on ranks. Especially this powerful mage. No matter what happens, don’t provoke that guy!”
Hearing their captain say so much, the team of Griffin Riders was stunned. They had seen Lin Yun a few days ago and he was only a 9th Rank Archmage. But now, he was already able to cast a Spatial Door ten kilometers away from Neverwinter City?
They felt that it was a joke, they obviously didn’t feel the aura of the Heaven Rank coming from him.
This naturally wasn’t a joke, Lin Yun’s control over aura and power should have reached an unimaginable height. Unless the gap in power was too high, no one could be able to tell that he reached the Heaven Rank.
Naturally, this would include Layford of the Jackson Family…
As Lin Yun rushed to the Starry Sky College, the gathering was already starting, and many people already arrived.
The gathering happened in front of a ten-stories mage tower and a few dozen people were already standing there. Raphael, and his senior apprentice brother Guruk, had already arrived.
The Hardward Family’s Watby and the Jackson Family’s Layford were also there.
Raphael looked at Lin Yun and immediately smiled before walking towards him. An awkward expression also appeared on Watby’s face as he quietly made himself smaller. He clearly didn’t want to see Lin Yun.
Upon seeing him, Layford was actually sneering as he casually walked towards Lin Yun while whispering in Infernal.
“I randomly saw a part of your future and you turned into a corpse covered in abscesses.”
Lin Yun glanced at Layford but didn’t react. The Extraordinary Power within his body surged forth and shielded his body from all potential harmful things, separating his body from the outside.
“Sir Layford, I hadn’t expected that in just a few days without seeing you, you would become powerful enough to see the future. Congratulations.”
Layford was stunned. He hadn’t expected Lin Yun to not react at all. This was only a Low Tier Fear Curse, which would at best make an Archmage without protection a bit more uglier. Ot could also make them lose reason and suddenly attack Layford under the effect of fear.
If Lin Yun suddenly attacked here, the Starry Sky College would definitely kick him out. Not to mention, this was the entrance of a ten-stories mage tower. The mana fluctuations emitted at the peak of the mage tower meant that a Heaven Mage, at least at the 5th Rank, was permanently residing here.
Rashly attacking someone at the entrance of a mage tower inhabited by a powerhouse above the 5th Rank of the Heaven Realm was considered a provocation.
A devil’s whisper small curse would leave no trace at all, disappearing a few seconds after the attack. Even Temporal Recall couldn’t confirm that this was a trick down by Layford.
Lin Yun’s body didn’t react, and his understanding of Infernal stunned Layford, he was unable to react for a moment.
Layford’s expression flickered. He turned back and glanced at the ten-stories mage tower behind him before looking at Lin Yun’s calm appearance, unable to figure this out.
‘Damn, could it be that the powerhouse within that mage tower intervened? Why did he help that countryside Andlusan? Sh*t, could it be that he is also lusting after that Mafa Merlin’s territory in the Raging Flame Plane?
‘Or is it just that he doesn’t want any accident happening here?’
Layford simply couldn’t notice that Lin Yun had advanced to the Heaven Rank. Devil’s whispers had formidable penetrating power, but they couldn’t pierce through Extraordinary Power. That kind of inferior small curse simply had no effect on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun had made up for his last weak point, and after obtaining Extraordinary Power, any attack that specifically targeted that weakness would be completely useless, because Lin Yun established his foundation upon four Law Runes. After advancing to the Heaven Rank, his Extraordinary Power was far stronger than the average mage.
Layford waited for a few seconds but didn’t see anyone coming out of the mage tower. He then felt that he had been overthinking and that there must have been another reason behind this.
‘It must be that Andlusan country bumpkin, he must have used some special method to resist the curse power!’
“Hmpf, Mafa Merlin, you damned guy. This is really inconceivable that you actually managed to survive until today. I advise you to sincerely your territory in the Raging Flame Plane and f*ck off back to your countryside, maybe you’ll be able to survive there.
“The Starry Sky College’s gathering isn’t a place for someone with no background like yourself. You? An Artisan? I don’t know who made that joke, you might be able to refine one kind of potion, but you have no clue what the Artisan realm is like.
“Hurry up and f*ck off back to the Andlusa Kingdom. Roll back to your small Merlin Family. The Odin Kingdom is too dangerous for a guy like you. Maybe one day you’ll be carelessly beheaded by a random spell.”
Layford had a threatening expression as he glared at Lin Yun, his face carrying unconcealed malice as a thick cursing aura surged within his body. He almost really cursed Lin Yun.
But what he said was in infernal. Devil’s whispers contained cursing power by themselves, but Layford didn’t use mana, so no one could find out that Layford had attacked Lin Yun.
For races other than devils, devil’s whispers didn’t have much power. It only contained powerful curse power and temptation power in the hands of Devils.
Lin Yun only said a few words to Layford before turning around and leaving him with the view of his back. He simply didn’t care about him, this place was the Starry Sky College. They weren’t in the living accommodations of Artisans, they were in front of a ten-stories mage tower, and no one would dare to cause trouble here.
