End of the Magic Era Chapter 1240 - Framed

‘Who cares if these idiots die, they are just here to strengthen the power of the barrier.’

Sensing the terrifying power approaching the ground, Dolos gritted his teeth and threw three True Spirit Magic Tools, even exploding his own magic staff to exert the strongest possible power.

He forcibly rged that Devil’s finger bone into his body and a layer of pitch-black silky shield enveloped his body, making him blurry and illusory.

Then, a terrifying and pure aura of destruction exploded in the center of the barrier. The destructive power instantly filled the entire barrier. It looked like the elental storm was confined inside the cuboid.

A second later, the top of the barrier loudly exploded. The chaotic elental power turned into a light beam that flew up several kiloters high.

It was as if a colored light pillar suddenly rose from the ground, visible from several dozen kiloters away.

The barrier supposed to resist 3rd Rank Heaven Mages shattered like a mirror.

The forty 9th Rank Archmages didn’t even have ti to howl in pain as they instantly evaporated. After casting layers of defenses, Dolos reused the power of the Devil’s fingerbone to turn into a hazy state, but he was still sent flying like a ragdoll. Over twenty of his bones were broken and the left half of his body almost completely disappeared. His internal organs were completely exposed.

After exploding four True Spirit Magic Tools and a Devil’s fingerbone, Dolos was left at death’s door. With his tattered body, he rapidly rushed away from Lin Yun’s laboratory and started moving through the trees.

He was barely alive, but he didn’t dare to stop. He used mana to envelop his wound and make sure that his internal organs wouldn’t fall off. His body turned into a vague shadow that rapidly flew away.

As for the Extraordinary Four Elent Bomb’s fluctuations, it razed everything within a kiloter to the ground after shattering the barrier. The arrays set up by the Starry Sky College were torn apart like paper in front of these fluctuations.

Lin Yun slowly walked out of the pillar filled with destruction power. After walking a dozen ters, the rune flickering on his forehead disappeared and the fierce surrounding elents frantically attacked Lin Yun’s shield.

Lin Yun frowned as he felt the emptiness within his body.

‘Sure enough, it’s too difficult, I can’t last more than a dozen seconds. Without the support of a Demiplane, my mana would be exhausted within one second, and my vitality would be absorbed instead.

‘The mana consud within ten seconds is already thirty tis higher than my mana reserves...

‘I should try not to rely too much on the Elental Spirit King Incarnation, it’s too difficult to use right now. I might as well limit myself to the Fla Spirit King Incarnation for now.

‘This was just an experint, but it consud half of the Demiplane’s Mana Water. Without the existence of that mana lake, my vitality might have already been completely absorbed and my soul power would have been drained.

‘No wonder the few powerhouses that could use the Elental Spirit King Incarnation during Noscent’s peak were all at the peak of the Heaven realm, or had already transcended the Heaven realm.’

After recovering a bit of mana, Lin Yun looked at the area the dark mage escaped towards and took a step forward. His body flickered with a silver light as he instantly disappeared.

Lin Yun followed that dark mage’s trail up until he reached a three story building. There, he saw the dark mage holding a crest and opening the building’s defenses. Just as the dark mage was about to enter, Lin Yun spat out a golden-colored law rune.

The earth instantly shook as a lifelike large hand stretched out of the ground and caught Dolos.

Lin Yun landed on the ground and calmly looked at the pale Dolos. With a wave of his hand, a dazed Shawn was summoned.

“Lord Shawn, there is work for you. As long as you can find so things for , you can have as much fun as you want.”

Shawn had been training the workers in the Demiplane when he was suddenly summoned. He had been about to bare his fangs and complain, but when he heard Lin Yun’s words, he suddenly bead with joy and took back what he wanted to say.

“Don’t worry! Eh, it’s actually a Heaven Rank powerhouse, and a dark mage too! Oh, wait, that’s not it... It’s an idiot that made a deal with a Devil... What? How did his contract disappear...”

Dolos scread and twitched under Shawn’s soul scrying.

That Devil Overlord had been so terrified that he had decisively tore up the contract...

Since the Devil’s contract was no longer active, Shawn beca even more unscrupulous. He turned into a ray of light and squeezed into Dolos’ head. Making the fainted Dolos suddenly open his eyes as he let out an anguished wail.

Shawn had recently been stifled. He couldn’t casually play with the souls of the workers in the Demiplane since he could mistakenly kill one, or turn one into an idiot. How could he act as their leader if he did so.

He would be very cautious when disciplining them and didn’t dare to use too much power. At most, he would use a Mind Whip. How could it be like now, when he could casually open soone’s mind. In any case, the soul of a Heaven Rank powerhouse wouldn’t dissipate so easily.

Dolos’ face was already devoid of color, his eyes had lost focus and he could only let out a mournful howl instinctively.

After a dozen seconds, Dolos’ howls stopped and he lost control of his mana. Half of his internal organs fell and his life aura rapidly dissipated. At that ti, Shawn drilled out of Dolos’ skull and regretfully shook his head.

“rlin, this guy belongs to the Jackson Family. The mastermind is a man nad Layford and is in this building. Do you want to get rid of him? It would be for the best if you gave him to alive, he could be hiding so precious resources after all...”

As Shawn said those words, a magic signal suddenly rose into the sky from the building in front of him.

Layford flew up and his pupils shrunk when he noticed Dolos’ miserable condition. He then coldly glared at Lin Yun.

“Mafa rlin, you wretched guy! You ca to snatch the copy of my results? Don’t even think about it!”

After those words, Layford directly released a spell on Dolos’ corpse and turned it into ashes. He then cast a Fla Impact onto his own laboratory and blew up half of it.

After doing that, Layford loudly sneered.

“Mafa rlin! Don’t even think of stealing what I copied!”

With a roar, a powerful wave of mana fluctuations covered the surface of his body. Pitch-black darkness power surged as those words loudly echoed.

Shawn turned palm-sized and stood on Lin Yun’s shoulder while grinning.

“rlin, that guy isn’t too stupid. He first attacked you, and then used it to fra you, not even giving you the opportunity to denounce him...”

Layford’s loud roar spread over ten kiloters with the power of mana.

After a few seconds, Lin Yun could already sense Griffin Riders approaching. Instead of being angry by Layford’s shaless actions, Lin Yun actually smiled.

He first destroyed the corpse before framing him and letting out a roar informing everyone within ten kiloters about his “indignation”.

In this situation, Lin Yun couldn’t directly get rid of Layford. If a battle happened here, then the Starry Sky College wouldn’t be able to use Temporal Recall by the ti they arrived.

Heaven Rank powerhouses used Extraordinary Power in battle. At the lower ranks, they would still be able to see a scene.

But if the fight was too intense, they might need a High Rank Heaven Mage’s Temporal Recall to see what had happened.

Would they dispatch a 7th Rank Heaven Mage to deal with these matters? Definitely not...

Even if investigating what happened would be very easy, it might also end up working against him.

After all, those that attacked Lin Yun’s laboratory all died and didn’t even leave a fragnt of bone behind. Their souls exploded and were torn apart.

Layford stood at the doorway of his laboratory with a pleased smile.

‘Sh*t, how could these idiots lose? That was a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage leading four 1st Rank Heaven Mages and forty 9th Rank Archmages. They also had three True Spirit Magic Tools...

‘Yet, they still lost. Ultimately, he was chased back here by Mafa rlin. But it doesn’t matter, everyone already turned to ashes, there is no proof. In fact, it’s perfect, I can take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the outco of his research.’

Layford proudly sneered and took out his magic staff. His mana started fiercely fluctuating as he was ready to fight at any ti.

“Mafa rlin, you can be considered lucky for not dying. But that’s as far as your luck will go. I can capture a shaful thief like you, curse your soul, and steal all your wealth...”

Layford’s magic staff shone with a bright black radiance, which slowly spread and filled the surroundings with a large amount of black fog. That fog had a powerful interference effect on mana and probing spells beca ineffective there.

But Lin Yun suddenly laughed while Shawn couldn’t hide his mocking gaze.

“rlin, that idiot thinks you don’t dare to get rid of him. He thinks he can effortlessly kill you. Are you still up for it? Get rid of him and give his soul...”

As Shawn spoke, strange muffled whispers kept echoing in the surroundings, apparently continuously converging from all directions.

Shawn’s eyes instantly shone brightly.

“Devil’s whispers! rlin, there must be many interesting things about that guy’s soul. Let’s get rid of him, I want to tear open his soul. He’ll definitely be useful to . In exchange, I can help you three tis... No, five... Ten tis!” Shawn shouted.

He had to hold back quite a bit lately.

Ever since he had seen the mana lake ford in the Natural Demiplane, Shawn no longer cared about the power of mana crystals. The mana lake’s pure mana was the best tonic for Shawn and allowed him to rapidly regain his strength. Even now, his strength was constantly increasing.

Shawn’s power had already reached the peak of the Archmage realm, and with his identity as a Soul Walker, playing with souls beca increasingly easier. If he wasn’t careful, he could kill Heaven Rank powerhouses by toying with them.

His strength had already exceeded the limits of his Magic Tool and he even seed to show signs of breaking free from it. Maybe after separating from the Magic Tool, Shawn’s strength might rise to the Heaven Rank. No one would want to be his enemy since he could casually tear through people’s souls.

Lin Yun nodded and looked at the confident Layford before sneering.

‘What a foolish guy. I could fight him to a standstill before advancing to the Heaven Rank, and the main reason why he could suppress was my lack of Extraordinary Power. I’m already a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage, yet he is still that confident?

‘Has he not even considered what happened to the five Heaven Rank powerhouses? The elental explosion that occurred at my laboratory turned into a beam of light that flew several kiloters high. How could that guy not notice it?’

Those few thoughts flashed in his mind as his body beca covered in a layer of red flas.

This could be displayed after Fire Elental Incarnation reached its peak. He could no longer maintain that Elental Spirit King Incarnation, but he could turn into a several-dozen-ter-tall Elental Giant.

As the flas covered Lin Yun’s body, the black fog acted as if it was being blown by the wind, it rapidly scattered towards the surroundings and was over two hundred ters away after one second.

Those whispers beca increasingly chaotic, as if more and more people were whispering. The Devil’s whispers already transford into ripples that kept attacking Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield.

Unfortunately, Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield was a lot more powerful than the Fusion Shield of an ordinary Heaven Mage. In addition to the Mana Shield supported by an almost endless supply of mana, there was also a Four Elent Shield and a Law Runic Shield ford from perfect law runes.

After these three shields fused together with Lin Yun’s Extraordinary Power, which far surpassed Heaven Mages of the sa rank, these Devil’s whispers simply couldn’t pass through. Those Devil’s whispers were like ordinary voices blocked outside a Silent Boundary, they were completely useless.

Countless runes flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes as he tried to locate Layford’s trail in the black fog. That guy was a bit smarter this ti, he knew his weakness and strength and first hid his body.

A few seconds later, only those whispers, which could make an Archmage go crazy, remained. Lin Yun managed to catch Layford’s trail, but it was elusive and it would take him a few seconds to catch him. But Shawn could no longer wait.

A slit appeared on his forehead and an evil eye carrying a strange aura could be seen. Shawn instantly left the Fusion Shield and disappeared into the black fog.

As for the ripples in the air, they autonomously slid away upon contact with Shawn. They seed completely useless against Shawn.

Soon, an evil light beam pierced through the black fog and rapidly dissipated it, as if it had been illuminated by holy light. Layford could be seen at the end of that light beam.

Layford paled as he was hit by the evil eye’s ray of light. The whispers disappeared instantly as the powerful curse spell was forcibly interrupted. Even his soul was affected by the Evil Eye, and the backlash of a curse was quite bad.

The backlash of elental spells wasn’t a thing for Heaven Mages since their mana wouldn’t be shaken. But the backlash of a curse spell, and one released through Devil’s whispers, wasn’t that easy to deal with.

Shawn took advantage of Layford being interrupted to charge into his body. His fist-sized body was covered in a layer of strange aura and his small claws carrying a kind of power that could tear through souls.

Lin Yun suddenly frowned and shouted in an unquestionable tone, “Lord Shawn, return.”

With a sentence, Shawn imdiately flew back. He might usually be arrogant, but he could also tell good from bad.

Sure enough, Shawn barely returned that the surrounding dense fog looked as if it was brushed away by a powerful lifeform and completely disappeared as a powerhouse covered in a terrifying aura suddenly appeared.

The powerhouse’s body was covered in a layer of Extraordinary Power and a three-ter-big red disk with a layer of orange flas could be seen under his feet. Nurous strange decorative designs could be seen on top of the red disk, emitting fierce fire power.

Lin Yun threw a quick glance and noticed that the disk wasn’t a Magic Tool, it was pure flas that had been continuously compressed before being forcibly condensed through an array. As long as it was spread open, it could instantly be arranged into a powerful fire array.

Although the newcor emitted the power of a 4th Rank Heaven powerhouse, he wasn’t just an ordinary 4th Rank Archmage, he was also an Artisan proficient in arrays.

The newcor arrived with a dignified expression. The magic imprint he wore on his black robe was exactly the sa as the one on Zeith’s robe. Clearly, this person was also an assistant dean.

The Starry Sky College was extrely huge and wasn’t just limited to Neverwinter City’s domain. Their influence spread all over the Odin Kingdom and the assistant deans were managing one corner.

When compared to the rlin Family, their position was similar to a manager with high status. They were truly managing everything since the three deans didn’t pay attention to this kind of matters.
