End of the Magic Era Chapter 1241

Chapter 1241 - Grimm

Lin Yun was a bit surprised that an assistant dean appeared instead of a Griffin Rider, because as he chased the dark mage, he had sensed at least three powerhouses that could get rid of him going to his laboratory.

With the appearance of an assistant dean, getting rid of Layford would be impossible.

As the assistant dean landed on the floor, the crimson disk under his feet went up in flames and disappeared.

The pale Layford looked as if he had seen his savior, his eyes moist.

“Sir Grimm, being able to see you is great, I thought I would never see you again…”

Layford appeared to be choking with emotions as he spoke. He had really been terrified. Lin Yun leaking his Heaven Rank aura hadn’t scared him, but that strange ghostly wolf caught him off guard. He interrupted his curse and that strange power actually caused a backlash from the curse. He could only stare blankly as the other side rushed over.

The terrifying soul tearing power shining on Shawn’s claws had truly terrified Layford…

He thought he was about to die and truly hadn’t expected that Grimm would appear at such a crucial time.

“Sir Layford, what is going on?”

Exaggerated surprise could be seen on Grimm’s face and his tone sounded like he was chanting an aria.

Layford instantly became calm and hatefully glared at Lin Yun.

‘Damn Mafa Merlin, you didn’t expect Sir Grimm’s arrival, did you? He is the best friend of our Jackson Family and is also my close friend, I even taught him a few Devil’s whisper curses.

‘Now that Sir Grimm is here, the fact that Mafa Merlin came to plunder what I wrote down will be known as truth. When the time comes, we will be able to force him to take out his transcript and his wealth in the Raging Flame Plane.’

As he thought of that, Layford got even more confident and resentment could be heard in his voice as he pointed at Lin Yun.

“Sir Grimm, thankfully you came right on time. This Mafa Merlin is really too despicable, he actually came to attack my laboratory and snatch the results of my research. My Family’s fighter even died in front of me, suffering a deadly blow from Mafa Merlin…”

After saying those words, Layford acted as if he was too sad to say more.

Lin Yun remained silent, Layford was the perfect example of a thief crying thief, he really was shameless to the extreme…

“Sir Grimm, you only need to use one Temporal Recall to check. My laboratory has already been destroyed and I chased down the repulsive culprit back here…”

But Lin Yun didn’t get to finish his words before he was solemnly interrupted by Grimm.

“Sir Mafa Merlin, I’ll properly investigate the ins and outs of this matter, I don’t need you to teach me how to do it!”

Lin Yun almost choked. He noticed Grimm standing next to Layford, thought of something and then remained silent…

Grimm’s tone was still solemn, but he ignored Lin Yun and instead asked Layford.

“Sir Layford, you said he came to snatch your research results? You can’t just make random accusations, do you have any evidence?”

Layford gritted his teeth and acted like a victim as he pointed at Lin Yun.

“He didn’t want to just snatch it, he used despicable methods to steal it and was discovered by me. My closest friend and brother died under his hands, he was still breathing as he died in front of me.

“The transcript of 1,500… No, of 1,600 truth runes is in his hands. You’ll definitely find it as long as he hands over his spatial ring!”

Grimm had an ugly expression. He sensed that a Heaven Rank powerhouse had died here as his aura had yet to dissipate. He no longer asked questions and instead turned his head to look at Lin Yun with a heavy expression.

“Mafa Merlin, what else do you have to say now? A Heaven Rank powerhouse died here and Layford’s laboratory went up in flames. There is no one else here.

“Hand over your Spatial Ring. If I don’t find the thing Sir Layford mentioned, I would naturally make it up to you. But if I find the thing Sir Layford mentioned, you can only wait for the Starry Sky College’s punishment!”

Lin Yun suddenly smiled when he heard this. If he still couldn’t figure out that this assistant dean was Layford’s friend, then he would definitely have a problem with his brain.

‘The transcript of the research of 1,600 truth runes, would anyone believe it if he said that?

‘Even if he researched the whisper crystal for a millennium, he also wouldn’t figure out the mysteries of so many truth runes.’

Based on the progress of the others, not a single person in the Starry Sky College should have researched over 1,500 truth runes!

Because that was the restriction of the whisper crystal. Out of 108,000 truth runes, that evil whisper crystal wouldn’t let anyone research too many. At best, it would let one person research a bit over a thousand truth runes.

What the Starry Sky College accumulated when it came to truth runes wasn’t the comprehension of truth runes themselves, but rather some of the mysteries concerning alchemy contained within the truth runes. These mysteries couldn’t be compared to truth runes.

Whether they had a proper understanding of Layford’s abilities or not, everyone would know if that guy had the ability to research 1,600 truth runes, even idiots wouldn’t believe it. Yet Assistant Dean Grimm unexpectedly believed his words and didn’t even let Lin Yun talk. What else could he say?

This incident was too noticeable. Anyone within the Starry Sky College should have seen that light pillar, it was visible within a few dozen kilometers.

‘Is that guy an idiot?’ Lin Yun thought.

“That idiot? Comprehending 1,600 truth runes? What an absurd joke. Shawn, pay attention, we might be able to see flying cows in the sky. Ehhh I can’t see, are they hidden by the sunlight?…”

Enderfa’s three hands covered his eyes from the sunlight as his three faces loudly shouted with bewilderment.

Shawn bared his fangs and sneered.

“I haven’t seen anyone as shameless in years. Look at this stupid rat, he actually thinks he is smarter than a Dragon. Heavens, I feel that my intelligence is taking a blow. Enderfa, is stupidity contagious? Am I going to become stupid too?”

Enderfa and Shawn worked together in mocking Grimm. Grimm was angry and his complexion turned red, but hearing about the 1,600 truth runes, his eyes slightly reddened.

‘That Andlusan country bumpkin actually understood 1,600 truth runes? What a joke.

‘That idiot Layford is really stupid, he actually failed to snatch the transcript. But no one has paid attention to this place yet, so if I say that Mafa Merlin came to snatch Layford’s research, no one would say anything.

‘The transcript of 1,600 truth runes, I can make a copy as long as I get a hold of it. I don’t know when I would be able to access it once it’s given to the college. It might be the same as before and I would have to rely on merits and contribution to be able to see some of them.

‘At most I would be able to see the transcripts of a few dozen truth runes’ mysteries, but those would have been studied by many people. If that Mafa Merlin really researched that many, then there must be new things within. As long as I master those new things and transform them into alchemy achievements at the fastest speed, then I would obtain a steady flow of wealth and natural resources.

‘I would get everything I need while also giving a favor to Layford. The Jackson Family would express their gratitude, right?’

Grimm automatically sided with Layford from the start. After all, they had a pretty good relationship and Layford was backed by the Jackson Family, which could be considered a pretty decent force in the Odin Kingdom. The other one was a lone Artisan who just arrived in the Odin Kingdom, why would he need to think about it?

Now that it came to this, Grimm suddenly had a new idea…

But before Grimm could say anything, Layford suddenly appeared behind Lin Yun, holding his magic staff once again with a cold light flickering in his eyes.

“Sir Grimm, this Mafa Merlin is very crafty and very powerful, we can’t let him get away. If he runs away, he’ll definitely brand my research as his own and give it to the Starry Sky College!

“He definitely won’t acknowledge it, we have to subdue him first and take away his spatial ring. Naturally, if he resists and carelessly dies, that would be his own fault for going against the Starry Sky College.”

Grimm no longer hesitated since Layford was ready to attack. After thinking for a bit, directly killing him was fine. He wouldn’t admit to it anyway and was planning on offering up Layford’s research to the Starry Sky College. No one could say anything and no one would make things difficult for him for the sake of an Andlusan.

As he thought about it, Grimm immediately started releasing his own mana. Orange flames started burning around him and rapidly spread out. The Extraordinary Power’s aura was like waves putting pressure on Lin Yun.

“Mafa Merlin, I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over your spatial ring or don’t blame me for personally making a move. In order to uphold the rules of the Starry Sky College, your mana has to be sealed and you have to undergo an investigation. You won’t be able to handle the consequences if I have to make a move!”

Grimm released mana as he talked, his aura rapidly and sharply increasing to the peak of the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm. He was only a step away from the 5th Rank.

His massive Extraordinary Power pressured Lin Yun’s body and made him slightly frown. And behind Lin Yun, Layford already took the initiative to attack.

A dozen-meter-big Hand of Darkness swatted towards Lin Yun’s back. This was Layford learning from his mistakes. He knew that the dark curse had no effect on Lin Yun, thus he directly released a dark spell to attack.

But Lin Yun didn’t even glance at him, he only watched Grimm attentively. Compared to Grimm’s pressure, Layford was only a trivial matter. His spell couldn’t even shake Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield.

The Hand of Darkness fiercely swatted at Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield. A magic ripple spread over the surface of the shield, but the shield remained intact and resisted that spell containing Extraordinary Power as if it was a 1st Tier Spell.

But then, Grimm, who had been shrouded in orange flames, suddenly attacked. Thick golden flaming spears fell down from the sea of flames like a rainstorm centered around Lin Yun.

Then, two 100-meter-long hands stretched out of the sea of flames and slapped Lin Yun’s sides.

The terrifying pressure and flame power instantly forced all the air away in Lin Yun’s surroundings, only leaving the terrifying heat’s spatial distortion behind.

The golden spears and flaming hands instantly submerged Lin Yun and set everything within several hundred meters aflame. The burning power burnt everything within five hundred meters to ashes in an instant. Layford had to retreat to a certain distance under this kind of power.

Flaming hands slowly rose up from the ground, leaving two imprints behind. The flames burning over the ground seemed able to burn everything.

Grimm proudly smiled as he couldn’t see Lin Yun’s silhouette. Layford also laughed heartily.

“Foolish Mafa Merlin, you dared to go against the Jackson Family, you dared to oppose me. Look where that got you. Killing you is really letting you off lightly. I’ll help myself to the resources you left behind…”

Layford walked towards the scorched black hole while laughing when he suddenly froze and raised his head, only to see Lin Yun floating in the air.

Lin Yun’s body was shrouded in a layer of red light with a continuously transforming red-colored rune on his forehead. A few parts of his body were exposed, as the flames swayed, and revealed pure golden tattoos. Terrifying power filled the atmosphere, it was as if a ruler of flames graced them with his presence.

Lin Yun held the Draconic Staff emitting purple light in his right hand, and the Book of Death in his left hand. Behind him was a hundred-meter-tall Purple Dragon holding a thirty-meter-wide wheel shadow in which countless law runes were floating.

In the centermost part of the wheel, there was one more circle, other than the four elemental ones, flickering with a silver light.

The Book of Mantras and the Spell Wheel floated on both sides as the scales’ shadow could be seen under Lin Yun’s feet. The two Magic Tools floated onto the scales’ trays as the terrifying transformation happened.

A hundred-meter-tall huge gate on which lingered the power of flames and wind suddenly appeared. As the gate slowly opened, two worlds could be seen floating inside, a pure wind world and a pure flame world…

And after this gate appeared, unfathomable power suddenly surged from the void. That power poured into the Spell Wheel but didn’t make it explode, it instead supported the Spell Wheel until a huge hundred-meter-wheel appeared with power of the four elements roaming within.

Shawn manifested his Ghost Wolf shape and turned into a ten-meter-big Ghost Wolf with his evil eye slowly opening on his forehead. He bared his fangs as he looked at Grimm.

“Merlin, let’s get rid of these two idiots! I want to study the difference between the souls of Heaven Rank powerhouses and mortals, they are the best source of materials. I won’t charge you for the help this time, as well as for helping you manage your Demiplane, but I want these two idiots’ souls as a reward.”

Shawn was drooling, his eyes red. He kept tempting Lin Yun to get rid of these two…

Layford was about to say something when the evil eye on Shawn’s forehead suddenly shot a light beam that submerged Layford. In an instant, Layford froze as if he had been hit by a Petrifaction. Fear could be seen in his eyes, he wanted to use a spell, but he discovered that his mana was out of control and it wasn’t getting transferred like he wanted.

At that time, Grimm suddenly became serious. He was floating in the air and the huge flame disk reappeared under his feet before transforming into a flaming space covering over a hundred meters. Countless fire spells flew out from within like a storm and a pillar over a hundred-meter-think fell charged towards Lin Yun.

At the same time, boundless destructive flames and gales flew out of the windfire gate the Book of Mantras had transformed into.

The Spell Wheel also created an elemental storm that covered over several hundred meters. The pure destructive power looked like a horizontal tornado.

The power of the Book of Mantras and the Spell Wheel converged together to form a force that surpassed that of the Heaven realm’s 2nd Rank. The destructive power could definitely compare to a 3rd Rank Heaven Mage.

With the buff of the Equilibrium Law, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel also displayed power comparable to the Book of Mantras.

But that power was forced back under Grimm’s fire attack, they couldn’t rely on power to block and were instead suppressed by the other side.

The power of these flames suppressed Syudos and Enderfa, but when they were within a hundred meters of Lin Yun, the flood of flames seemed to sense something and spun towards the side.

Those terrifying elemental flames were really hot, but they were only elemental flames. Lin Yun was using the Fire Spirit King Incarnation and was completely immune to these elemental flames, even if they had been summoned by a Peak 4th Rank Heaven Mage.

But Lin Yun wasn’t completely spared by the impact of Grimm’s attack. After all, Grimm was higher ranked and his comprehension of the Law of Fire was greater than Lin Yun’s. Being able to reduce the damage of the flames was already pretty good.
