Chapter 1063 Earth Rhinoceros
Morgan didn't have the awareness of a Heaven Rank Powerhouse. He kept flattering Lin Yun with a calm face, making everyone who listened blush, but Morgan wasn't aware at all.
In the end, Lin Yun couldn't stand it and had Morgan leave.
After Morgan left, Lin Yun quietly collected the array he had previous set up. The effects of Raphael's breakthrough had been quite noticeable. No one expected the breakthrough after taking the Golden Temptation to be that powerful, even the Raging Flame Battlefield couldn't suppress that Extraordinary Power.
Maybe the Beastmen already figured out that a human mage advanced to the Heaven realm. This time, Lin Yun had set up an array ahead of time to suppress the fluctuations of Morgan's breakthrough by working in concert with the Raging Flame Battlefield's suppression.
After sending Morgan away, Lin Yun started thinking about the Beastmen movements during this time.
There hasn't been any reaction from the Beastmen for over a month, they apparently were still avoiding humans, who knew what they were plotting.
Apart from Morgan and Raphael he was connected to, Lin Yun hadn't met anyone from the other forces and hadn't gotten any news from the weakest Jouyi and Harren.
His study of mana crystals was progressing very slowly. Lin Yun always felt that this Raging Flame Battlefield had many more secrets. Not only the mana crystals, even the Beast God's Blood wasn't that simple.
Lin Yun's subordinates kept hunting while Lin Yun buried his head in research.
Time flew by and a week passed.
Morgan had been the most comfortable and happy person during that time. That newly advanced Heaven Mage's speed in killing magic beasts was a few times faster than the previous week, and it was a lot easier.
He could get rid of lone Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts in less than five minutes by himself, most of the time was actually spent searching for the magic beasts.
As he flew through the air, Morgan kept looking around, searching for mana reactions. He wasn't worried about being found out by a Beastman.
Suddenly, Morgan's eyes shone brightly.
"Quick, there is a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast ahead of us!"
After yelling to the Henry Family's group, Morgan took the initiative to fly over.
After a few minutes, Morgan reached the area from where the fluctuation came. With a glance, he saw a forty to fifty-meter-tall Earth Rhinoceros lying on the ground.
But the Earth Rhinoceros' eyes had already been blinded. Its steel-like hide didn't have too many wounds, but its head was covered in small bite marks the size of an infant's mouth.
Blood kept flowing from the Earth Rhinoceros' eyes and ears while a few claws-like Shadow Hands were binding its limbs. There were some shadows following the body of the Earth Rhinoceros and spreading into its head from its eyes and ears.
There were a few mages covered in darkness silently floating not far from the Earth Rhinoceros. Those living shadows all spread out from these few individuals.
The one leading them was donning a black cloak and kept chanting seemingly endlessly.
Morgan had a wretched expression as he pouted.
'Damnit, someone else has set their eyes on it already, and it's the Shadow Tower's people. That idiot Dylas is actually quite lucky… I've been looking half a day without finding a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast…
'That guy looks like he is more powerful than before…'
Caution and disgust could be seen in his eyes. Whether they had a good or a bad relationship, these forces from the Odin Kingdom were all allies in the Raging Flame Plane.
Last time, Raphael had come across Dylas when he was chased by the Blood Bone Beastmen, only for the latter to turn and flee at the last moment. This wasn't just a matter of morality, this was purely and simply betraying his ally.
No matter from which angle they looked at it, Dylas' actions were disdainful.
They were both mages forces of the Odin Kingdom, the most basic requirement in this place was to help each other when facing the Beastmen, not stab each other in the back.
Dylas had done something he shouldn't do, but that was in accordance with the Shadow Tower's behavior, it was just a bit worse considering the location.
But the Shadow Tower's spells were relatively strange shadow spells. Those kinds of spells had very low mana fluctuations and were sharp weapons used for sneak attack.
In fact, most of the people killed by the mages of the Shadow Tower were killed through a sneak attack. A few of the Odin Kingdom's hitman forces were secretly controlled by the Shadow Tower. And Assassination missions were also the main source of outcome of the Shadow Tower.
Thus, the Shadow Tower was heavily criticized within the Odin Kingdom, but it was always hired by some people. They were disliked, but no one would openly go against them.
Moreover, these treacherous guys would very easily stab someone in the back, and thus, very few people were willing to offend them.
Morgan had a wretched expression as he was about to leave, when he suddenly turned around with a stunned expression.
'Damn, I already advanced to the Heaven Rank and established my Demiplane, my Darkness Elemental God will soon be born, how could I be afraid of that stupid Dylas?
'Sh*t, I'm using the Darkness Law as the foundation of my plane, shadow spells are contained with the Law of Darkness. If that scoundrel dares to say anything, I'll just get rid of him.
'Right, and with the matter with Raphael, I can just get rid of him and say that he wanted to sneak attack me and steal my prey before I got rid of him.
'Ah, so what if I go anyway? I discovered that magic beast. It's alone, so I'll take the mana crystal and let Dylas take the materials.'
Morgan smiled. He had already advanced to the Heaven Rank, he no longer needed to be as cautious of Dylas as before.
Morgan glanced at the distant battle and suddenly spread out his aura as he swaggered over, directly flying towards the Earth Rhinoceros' head.
The Shadow Tower's mages were startled when they felt the aura of the Heaven Rank and their control over the Earth Rhinoceros fluctuated. They all had shocked expressions as they looked at Morgan flying over.
Morgan sneered and released three Corrosive Arrows. The pitch-black Corrosive Arrows shot into the Earth Rhinoceros' eyes and created a large amount of black smoke. A big hole appeared in the flesh around the eyes of the Earth Rhinoceros due to the corrosion.
The already suffering and near-death Earth Rhinoceros was once again seriously injured. It frantically struggled and broke free from the shadows restricting its limbs. It then started frantically fleeing in one direction.
A mage of the Shadow Tower failed to dodge and was almost killed by that huge Earth Rhinoceros. His protection shield was grazed by the Earth Rhinoceros' huge leg and instantly burst open.
Morgan saw this and chuckled as he roared, "Don't panic! I'll handle that damn thing!"
After saying that, Morgan released a few Darkness spells and a black mist surrounded the Earth Rhinoceros before a few Hands of Darkness flew in. After a few slaps, the blood-curdling screams of the Earth Rhinoceros echoed for a few seconds before silence remained.
That black mist spreading over a hundred meters rapidly flew back to Morgan's side. Morgan stealthily extended his hand in the mist and grabbed the mana crystal, which he instantly put into his Spatial Ring.
And on the ground, the Earth Rhinoceros' head had almost completely disappeared, more than half of its head had been corroded by the power of darkness. It looked like nauseating rotting flesh.
Dylas' expression changed as he looked at the corpse of the Earth Rhinoceros. Most of its head had disappeared and the mana crystal within its head was nowhere to be seen. There was no question as to where it went.
Dylas raised his head and looked at the proud Morgan with the aura of a Heaven Rank powerhouse. The matter of the mana crystal being snatched had been put to the back of his mind. All he could think of was that Morgan had unexpectedly advanced to the Heaven Rank.
'Morgan?! That stupid guy? He actually advanced?!
'This must be a joke, it was unknown whether he would be able to advance in this lifetime, yet he actually advanced in the Raging Flame Battlefield?!
'And he is a darkness mage, his mana hadn't completed the most basic refining, how could he advance?
'Moreover, it doesn't look like his soul was invaded by darkness, he is just like before. He must have been extremely lucky to advance without any sequelae.
'Damnit, what the hell happened?!'
Dylas' expression was somewhat lifeless. His head was buzzing and felt like it was about to explode. He could still accept Dedale advancing to the Heaven Rank, but Morgan was one of the weakest leaders among those that came to the Raging Flame Battlefield.
Whether it was Dedale, Raphael, or even Dylas, they were all stronger than Morgan.
Among their six forces, Morgan could be said to be the slowest to walk the path to the Heaven Rank.
Morgan saw Dylas' lifeless expression and was somewhat unable to keep faking that solemn expression, a smile quickly crept up on his face.
'Looking at Dylas' expression is a lot better than advancing to the Heaven Rank.
'That idiotic Dylas definitely didn't expect that I would advance to the Heaven Rank first. Ahahah, that damned guy thinks he is clever, but how could he compare to a wise person like me?
'I noticed ahead of time that Sir Merlin was the strongest. Moreover, Sir Merlin is an Artisan. These idiots only see Sir Merlin as a member of the Andlusa Kingdom and look down upon his status as an 8th Rank Archmage.
'Hey, Sir Merlin is the strongest among us, he already has the power of a Heaven Mage as an 8th Rank Archmage, and he is an Artisan.
'Andlusa Kingdom or Odin Kingdom doesn't matter, an Artisan is an Artisan. Haven't you seen the way Raphael looks at that guy? He is extremely respectful towards Sir Merlin.
'I secretly asked him, and Sir Raphael's admiration for Sir Merlin is so great that he is toying with the idea of leaving Sky City to join the Merlin Family.
'Apart from Sir Merlin, no one else in the Raging Flame Battlefield can make that golden potion.
'That stupid Dylas offended Sir Merlin so much and even wanted to get rid of Sir Merlin, yet he is now looking at me with envy and jealousy.'
