Chapter 1391: Old Friend
10 minutes later, a floating boat that carried seven Heaven Rank mages flew quickly towards Lin Yun's city.
After a few hours, the floating boat entered the range of the no-fly array of the city. The leader of the Seiro Family was the first to run out of the floating boat. He unleashed his aura, and gazed at the mage tower on the floating island.
"Fool, you will be punished by death for stealing the Seiro Family's territory and killing our companions…"
Roaring from the boat, the leader of the Seiro Family attacked first. Spears of ice fell from the sky, and hit the surface of the mage tower like a storm.
As the spears were broken one after another, the mage tower was covered in overwhelming ice. Then, the entire mage tower was frozen by his spell.
The magic power of the mage tower collided with the power of ice. A few seconds later, the ice fell apart into countless pieces, and the mage tower's defense was shattered too. It lost all its protection…
After ripping apart the protection of the mage power, the leader of the Seiro Family raised his staff, and chanted short and arcane spells. In the sky, a cloud of ice appeared, and a ball of ice that was dozens of meters in diameter fell from the sky, hitting the mage tower with terrifying momentum.
Behind the leader, experts of the Seiro Family appeared one after another. Including the leader of the Seiro Family, there were altogether four Heaven Rank experts, one in level 1 and one in level 2. Morgan, who was staying on the floating boat, took another two Heaven Rank experts with him. The leader of the Seiro Family couldn't help but put on a smile.
I've taken all the remaining Heaven Rank experts of my family here. There's also Sir Morgan, who's a level-3 Heaven Rank expert. He has brought his uncle, who's very close to level 5 of the Heaven Rank, here.
So many strong men have gathered here. No matter what scheme that wretched guy has prepared, his only ending will be death!
Marianna craned her head out of one of the windows on the mage tower, and instantly moved back in disappointment.
"He's a half lich. His meat is smelly. He's here for trouble without bringing a couple of powerful beasts with him. What a stupid guy…
"Xiuban, someone is here for trouble. Do you want me to take them down?"
Marianna jumped from the windowsill, and kicked Xiuban, who was still sound asleep. Xiuban dizzily opened his eyes, and heard nothing except Xiuban.
He jumped from his bed, and pressed Marianna down on his lap, beating her hard.
"Little jerk, call me dad. Do you hear me? How did you dare to call me by my name? You've forgotten all your manners since I beat you two days ago…"
Marianna gritted her teeth and blushed, but she held back and didn't say anything. After being spanked by Xiuban, she rubbed her butt, and followed Xiuban while gnashing her teeth.
The ice ball that fell from the sky was penetrated by a blue ice spear from inside the mage tower before Xiuban blocked it. Terrifying power of ice burst out of the ice ball, and blew it up into pieces…
Standing on the top of the mage tower, Reina coldly stared at the members of the Seiro Family that flew in the sky.
Xiuban looked from his bed, and then lay down on the bed. He gazed at the arrogant members of the Seiro Family as if they were already dead bodies.
"What a bunch of idiots. They're asking to be killed by using ice spells in front of this she-dragon. It's fine. I'll be a nice guy who helps bury them after they die…"
In the sky, the leader of the Seiro Family emanated magic power. His robe fluttered, and his extraordinary aura burst out unrestrainedly. The other members of the Seiro Family unleashed their extraordinary power towards Reina too.
"A female frost mage? She definitely carries ice bloodlines considering the pure power of frost she has. She can make up for the loss of our family."
"What about the evil mage? Ask him to get the hell out and confess on his knees. If he surrenders the alchemy journal, he may be given a painless death…"
"Get out and prepare to die! You really think this ragged magic tower can stop us? If you don't want to die in misery, get out immediately. Let me tell you, the great Sir Morgan has personally come here. If you don't get out and confess immediately, he will make you wish that you were dead…"
The leader of the Seiro Family simply floated in the sky, and unleashed his extraordinary aura.
Damn it, I would kill those wretched guys if I weren't afraid that the items inside the mage tower would be destroyed too when I razed the mage tower to the ground.
Sir Morgan has personally come here. He's the heir of a powerful family that's likely to go to the frontline. Those idiots surely know the consequence of offending him as long as their brains aren't damaged.
The moment they come out, I will immediately kill them. Whatever schemes and traps they might have, it won't be a problem, because Sir Morgan is here…
The leader of the Seiro Family wore a proud smile, as if he was envisioning himself as an immortal, powerful lich after acquiring the alchemy journal and completing the transformation ritual.
On the floating boat, the powerful Sir Morgan was peeping at Reina, who was on the top of the mage tower, with his eyes widening in shock.
"Why does that woman look so familiar? I've seen her from somewhere. She looks like Sir Reina…" Morgan mumbled. Next to him, an old mage whose hair and beard were white pointed in another direction with shivering hands. From one side of the mage tower, two beastmen craned out their heads and were grinning, as if they were enjoying the drama.
"Morgan, look over there. Is that beastman Sir Xiuban?"
Morgan turned around and looked in that direction. Immediately, he saw the two beastmen who looked very similar despite their different age. They were grinning from the window.
There was no telling when the beastman next to Xiuban appeared, but Morgan put on an awful expression when he spotted the two guys who looked very similar to Reina and Xiuban.
"Uncle, if Reina and Xiuban are here, is there any chance that the obnoxious mage that the Seiro Family referred to is Sir Merlin?"
The old mage looked even more awful than Morgan. His face was as pale as that of a dead person.
"Morgan, those idiots will get us killed. It's definitely Sir Merlin. There isn't another possibility. Hurry up and kill the idiots of the Seiro Family…"
Morgan grinned scarily. He was about to leave the floating boat and kill everybody of the Seiro Family when he heard that his name was brought up by the Seiro Family's leader…
Morgan instantly felt that he was fainting. His lips were shivering…
I'm screwed. I'm so screwed…
I'm going to get killed because of those people. They've mentioned my name…
It's impossible for me to explain myself. Sir Merlin hasn't come here. I don't think Reina and Xiuban are reasonable people. I'm going to die…
No, I have to kill the idiots of the Seiro Family first. I have to kill them. Kill them…
Morgan rushed out of the floating boat anxiously, and saw Reina floating in the sky. She sprayed a handful of ice pieces, which shined like diamonds, and froze everybody of the Seiro Family into a statue.
Then, ice spears were thrown out, blowing up the four ice statues into pieces. The bloodless slaughter made Morgan pale.
After killing the people of the Seiro Family expressionlessly, Reina looked at the floating boat in the sky.
Morgan hurriedly got out of the floating boat, and shouted at the loudest of his voice.
"Madam Reina, this is all a gigantic misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding…"
Reina's reply was an ice spear that brushed past him. He felt that half of his body was already frozen when the coldness touched him. He was even more scared as a result.
While avoiding Reina's attacks in the sky, Morgan roared loudly.
"Madam Reina, this is a misunderstanding. I was set up. I had no idea you were here. I'm Morgan, from the Henry Family. You don't remember me?
"Sir Xiuban, help me. Sir Xiuban, this is a misunderstanding…"
Morgan dodged a few ice spears in a row, but there was already ice on the surface of his robe and his hair. His shield was like a vulnerable bubble that would freeze the moment the ice spears hit him.
He had almost been killed in only a couple of seconds…
Hearing Morgan's roar, Xiuban, who was watching the drama, scratched his head, and flew out of the window with Marianna on his shoulder.
After flying out, Xiuban ignored Morgan, who was running in fear, and picked up the space rings of the Seiro Family's mages, sharing them with Marianna in delight.
"Sir Xiuban, Sir Xiuban, I'm Morgan, Morgan Henry. We fought alongside each other in the Raging Flame Plane. I'm Sir Merlin's friend. You don't remember me?"
On the floating boat, everybody else of the Henry Family was hiding and watching Morgan with sympathy, but none of them dared to go out.
"Let's just wait here. Sir Morgan knows them. He surely won't be killed. But they don't know us, and might kill us if we go out. We'd better be careful…"
The old mage observed the situation outside, and wiped his cold sweat.
The goddamn idiots of the Sten Kingdom were stupid enough to offend Sir Merlin. They even wanted to drag us down to hell with them. Damn it, they think they can afford pissing off Sir Merlin?
They were so dumb. Will Sir Merlin ever rob them and murder their mages?
Stop kidding. Anything that slips between Sir Merlin's fingers is enough to buy the entire Seiro Family, yet they came to him for trouble. He probably considered it a waste of time to kill them. However, they fed themselves to him.
Sir Merlin doesn't even bother to show up. Madam Reina is enough to kill everybody here…
Morgan's leg was hit by an ice spear. Xiuban soared to the sky, and stared at Morgan solemnly. Reina stopped attacking and frowned, as if she did recall something about Morgan.
Holding back the pain, Morgan grimaced and squeezed the fat on his cheeks. Then, he tried to keep his eyes wide open.
"Sir Xiuban, it's me. I'm Morgan. We fought alongside each other. We were the closest friends. I even offered you something. It's me, the rich Morgan…"
Xiuban gazed at Morgan for more than 10 seconds before he finally nodded in acknowledgment.
"Oh, it's you. I thought your shamelessness looked quite familiar. Why are you so fat now?"
Morgan grimaced and quickly nodded.
"I'll go on a diet immediately. Yes, I will…"
After saying that, Morgan was finally relieved. Someone had finally recognized him…
However, before Morgan was fully relaxed, Xiuban had rushed to his face, and Marianna hit his nose precisely. Xiuban quickly took away all the space rings and magic tools that Morgan carried.
Xiuban handed over all the items to Marianna, who was smiling in joy. Marianna counted the loot with glowing eyes.
Xiuban grinned, and held Morgan in his head. His beastman face with tusks was truly scary.
"Morgan, you're bold enough to take people here for trouble? I thought you were very shameless, and should've been killed. Just as the great Xiuban expected, you've come for trouble again.
"Sir Merlin is busy. If you interrupt his research, you'll surely die a miserable death…"
Morgan couldn't have looked more awful. He didn't dare to move at all in Xiuban's grasp. If he did, Xiuban would surely break his neck.
He could only pretend that he didn't see the young beastman searching his body in delight.
"Sir Xiuban, it's truly a misunderstanding. Sir Merlin and I are close friends. Why would I seek trouble with him? I've been set up. I've truly been set up…
"The idiots of the Seiro Family tricked me, claiming that our goods were looted by an evil mage. That's why I came. I didn't know Sir Merlin was here…
"I'm not saying that Sir Merlin looted anything. Those idiots of the Seiro Family fooled me, and set me up. I truly didn't know anything…"
Morgan was quite pale. He saw Marianna take away another magic tool from his hidden space pocket, but he didn't dare to say another word.
At this moment, the other people of the Henry Family flew out of the floating boat. They were quite frightened too, and quickly disconnected themselves from the Seiro Family.
"Sir Xiuban, everything Sir Morgan said is true. The Seiro Family recently pledged loyalty to the Henry Family. We didn't know them well."
"They set us up. We didn't know they were lying. They tricked us into coming to this place with other excuses."
"That's true. We're truly tricked. We have nothing to do with the people of the Seiro Family…"
Xiuban sneered.
"Morgan, do you really think you can fool me with such a dumb excuse? They were all your people. You think I don't know that?"
Morgan was quite gloomy. He truly didn't know how to explain himself to someone whose brain structure was completely different from his…
Exactly at this moment, terrifying waves of extraordinary power burst out of the mage tower and rose to the sky, dispersing all the clouds. Everybody on the floating island was knocked away by the sudden blast. The floating boat was flung away like a baseball.
In the city on the ground, everybody was pressed to the ground by the blast. A horrifying aura burst out. The mage tower was shivering constantly. A few seconds later, the mage tower exploded into countless pieces. Lin Yun floated in the sky. Terrifying waves of extraordinary power spread out like ripples.
As the ripples spread out, the buildings on the surface of the floating island crumbled into pieces and turned into dust. Then, the dust spread out like ripples.
A dozen seconds later, Lin Yun slowly opened his eyes, rising from level 1 of the Heaven Rank all the way to level 6. However, he looked much more intimidating than normal level-6 Heaven Rank experts.
A few minutes later, Lin Yun gradually withdrew his aura, and the consolidated space on the floating island was back to normal. The frozen air and elements were flowing again.
Outside the floating island, Xiuban was still holding Morgan in one hand, but Morgan's eyes had started rolling. He was suffocating.
Sitting on Xiuban's shoulder, Marianna was quite upset.
That man was getting even stronger. It was less likely for her to escape. Damn it, why was he growing even faster than she did? Was he a reborn god too?
Wait, even a reborn god wouldn't be as terrifying as him…
Marianna unhappily turned around, and counted her loot.
Lin Yun landed on the ground with a smile. His wounds had completely healed. Also, thanks to the accumulation recently, he became even stronger than before. He had successfully advanced into level 6 of the Heaven Rank. His understanding of the law of darkness reached a new level. The law of light was evolving faster in his Natural Demiplane too.
Outside the floating island, everybody who had been knocked away flew back. Xiuban landed and then dropped Morgan, who seemed to be dying, to the ground.
"Sir Merlin, this guy has brought someone here for trouble, but I saw through him. Do you want to kill him?"
Morgan, who was almost dying, came back to life after being dropped to the ground. He ran to Lin Yun, and cried desperately while holding on to Lin Yun's thigh.
