<h4>Chapter 409: Something Inside</h4>

    Delson wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt berserk mana spread through the 11th floor of the magic tower.


    His heart sank and he panicked. He tried to say something, but no sound came out of his throat.


    The Doom Staff in Lin Yun’s hand burst out with a brilliant radiance and a hot aura spread everywhere. At the same time, a dozen me Burstsnded on Sn out of nowhere.


    It was followed by a mournful scream.


    Sn was instantly sent flying, and he crashed heavily against the white wall. Delson watched as the 5th Rank Archmage was suddenly attacked by the young High Mage without being able to react. His mage robe had long since been burnt to a crisp, and arge part of his chest had beencerated by the me Bursts. And countless drops of blood flowed out of his wounds. Those wounds were iparably sinister, and if anyone weaker than Sn had taken these hits, they would have already died.


    Although Sn hadn’t died, his aura had reached an extremely depressingly low point. Perhaps even a Great Mage could easily finish off Sn in his current state.


    From this, it could be seen how serious his injuries were.


    Whether it was Delson or Sn, neither had expected that Lin Yun would suddenly do something like this right after apparently agreeing topromise. And not only did he teach Sn a lesson, but he did it very ruthlessly.


    Even if a 5th Rank Archmage’s defenses were solid, the flesh was still flesh. It couldn’t resist ten me Bursts. It was already a blessing that Sn didn’t die immediately.


    A freezing aura spread all around. At this time, Delson noticed four Frost Lances being cast by the young mage. The sound of the air being torn apart as they flew echoed in his ears. The Four Frost Lances quickly arrived at their destination, followed by a blood-curdling screech. Delson looked at the terrifying scene and felt a chill run down his spine. Sn was actually nailed to the wall.


    His limbs were pierced by the Frost Lances, and blood flowing down from them. Half of the wall was dyed red in a few seconds.


    Delson shivered. His mage robe was already soaked in cold sweat and was sticking to his back, making him highly ufortable.


    He no longer dared to say anything.


    Because he could feel that the young mage was no longer in a talkative mood.


    In fact, the life or death of Sn Monchi had nothing to do with him, he wouldn’t dare to provoke Mafa Merlin for him.


    “You won’t die this time,” Lin Yun coldly said. “I only want to check if there is something inside your body...”


    Lin Yun slowly walked towards the wall, his eyes studying Sn Monchi. Although Sn had suffered an extremely grievous injury, he still retained a part of his consciousness. Hearing Lin Yun’s words, he couldn’t help shivering. He tried saying something, but no voice came out.


    When Lin Yun met Sn on the 11th floor of the magic tower, thetter had already be a 5th Rank Archmage. At that time, he had already noticed some anomalies. And those were most likely the keys behind Sn’s power-up.


    Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to detect what exactly those anomalies were.


    Sn had changed in a lot of aspects. It wasn’t just his strength... His personality was also affected.


    Before entering the illusion, in that battle against the puppet, Lin Yun had kept an eye on Sn Monchi, but he hadn’t been able to find anything. Up until that battle just now. Lin Yun had fought while rousing his Magic Array and making some calctions. He then shockingly found a wisp of demonic aura.


    He was most amazed by Sn being able topletely suppress that wisp of demonic aura. He’d almost been fooled!


    This was the most suspicious part about Sn Monchi.


    Even at the peak of the Magic Era, those powerful mages who entered the Abyss to hunt Demons conducted various experiments, but in the end, they were unable to suppress the demonic aura and make it unnoticeable as Sn did.


    Lin Yun had some conjectures about the change to Sn’s body. He clearly remembered that Sn had disappeared for some time in Zhantui’s pce, yet he was already a 5th Rank Archmage when he came back.


    But what Lin Yun was curious about was, what happened to Sn’s body?


    ‘Is it rted to Emperor Zhantui?’


    Lin Yun frowned and took out various kinds of medicine and test tubes. He then ced everything side by side on the ground and held a test tube against Sn’s wound. Soon Sn’s blood entered the test tube and filled it. After securing it, Lin Yun cautiously studied it.


    He used ming Hand to keep the crucible heated, and then discovered that Sn’s strange blood contained something special. When the temperature of the crucible reached 200°C, that blood turned dark purple.


    At this time, the blood let out a thick aura of sulfur. It spread through every corner as it continued to be emitted from the blood.


    Lin Yun could already determine that Sn had gotten his power from a Demon, but for some reason, he had been able topletely suppress the demonic aura.


    A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he couldn’t help shaking his head. Sn was aplete monster now. Was the power of Demons so easy to get? Even during the peak of the Magic Era, those godlike mages didn’t dare to rashly merge with demonic power, because doing so was no different from courting death.


    Even if he didn’t personally kill Sn, it wouldn’t take long before that demonic power burst out. At that time, Sn would be unable to suppress it and would end up being controlled by that demonic power,pletely losing any form of self-awareness.


    Lin Yun picked up three potions from the ground. These potions’ effects were targeted towards hell’s lifeforms.


    Sn was already half-conscious by now and could clearly see everything Lin Yun was doing. But his four limbs were already nailed to the wall. He tried to struggle a bit, but the sharp pain was unbearable. That kind of feeling was more painful than being killed.


    When he saw Lin Yun holding three potions and pulling apart his mouth, Sn’ expression suddenly changed. He was scared to the point of turning pale, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He wanted to curse, but he wasn’t capable of doing so.


    He could only try to keep his mouth closed.


    But then...


    “p! p!”


    Two heavy ps loudly echoed, leaving Sn in a daze. Lin Yun then pried open Sn’s mouth and poured one of the potions inside. Wisps of ck smoke could be seening out of Sn’s body as he shook fiercely, as if he was under extreme pain.


    After letting out a painful roar, Sn stopped shaking and lost consciousness.


    “...”


    Delson was terrified. The way the young mage handled Sn was a bit too frightening. First were the dozen me bursts, followed by the Frost Lances nailing him to the wall. And it didn’t end there... He then took Sn’s blood to study it and poured a strange potion in his mouth, causing such a big reaction that Sn ended up losing consciousness.


    Delson had a feeling that the young mage didn’t seem to think of Sn Monchi as a person, but rather, as a test subject...


    He was a bit regretful now. If he had known, he would have dyed leaving the illusion.


    Although he didn’t know what happened between Sn and the young mage, he could guess that Sn had done something reckless and thoroughly infuriated the young mage? Why else would Lin Yun, who usually looked harmless, cause such a scene?


    Thinking about it, Delson suddenly heard the passed out Sn letting out a blood-curdling screech. His face distorted, his body shaking violently. Due to therger movements, the wounds on his limbs were agitated and a lot of blood flew out.


    Delson looked away, as he didn’t have the heart to watch this. He even thought that it was a miracle Sn could remain alive until now.


    “Bloodline Curse...”


    Lin Yun frowned. He really hadn’t expected such an oue when he started studying Sn. He just used a mind attack to forcibly cut a wisp of Sn’s soul to integrate it to his blood research and ended up finding out that Sn had a Bloodline Curse within his body. It was because of the Bloodline Curse that Sn was able to suppress the demonic aura.


    This should exin it...


    But Lin Yun still frowned. There was still something puzzling him.


    Besides their magic knowledge being extremely high, the members of the 3rd Dynasty’s royal family were greatly proficient in Bloodline Curses. That was the power brought up from their bloodline, and the purer their bloodline, the stronger the power of the Bloodline Curse. Moreover, after their death, that power would linger for a very long time like a specter. It looked like Sn had obtained a part of that power.


    Sn went to the pce left by Emperor Zhantui and ended up like this. ‘Doesn’t that mean that a member of the royal family of the 3rd Dynasty once died in that pce?’


    And for a Bloodline Curse to increase Sn’s power from 2nd Rank Archmage to the 5th Rank, it meant that the person wasn’t just a minor member of the royal family.
