    But they saw the young mage cing his unadorned staff horizontally in front of him and pouring mana into it. The staff radiated with dazzling light as five zing me Bursts flew towards the Raging me Beastman Mages. Even Ida and Yuri, who were a dozen meters away, could feel the extremely frightening power contained within those me Bursts.


    A flustered expression finally appeared on the face of that angry Raging me Beastman. He clearly knew that this young mage was a formidable enemy and his dark red runes fiercely flickered, emptying his power to cover his body with mes.


    That Beastman was very powerful, and the furious mes covering his body enhanced his incredibly high magic resistance. Even 5th Rank Archmage powerhouses might not necessarily be able to injure him in this state.


    However, the five me Bursts quickly arrived and urately struck that Beastman. A mournful scream echoed and over half of the dark red mes covering his body had been instantly eliminated. After the explosion, the Raging me Beastman flew away like a cannonball, stopping a few dozen meters away.


    “Rumble...” A loud sound echoed as the Raging me Beastman crashed into the ground, creating a crater. He was panting, with a charred, ck wound on his stomach from which blood kept flowing.


    Ida and Yuri were stunned. They couldn’t believe that mere me Bursts could injure that Raging me Beastman to such extent while it was defending itself.


    The young mage then raised his staff...


    It was followed by a pitch-ck palm suddenly falling down from the sky and heavily mming that Raging me Beastman Mage before he could even crawl out of the crater. With a loud sound, the aura of the Raging me Beastmanpletely disappeared, his corpse turned into a paste.


    “Heavens...”


    Ida and Yuri were startled speechless. This scene was too scary... There was now deep respect in their eyes as they looked at the young mage.


    The Raging me Beastman Mages had made them feel helpless, but this one was unable to withstand a single blow from the new Commander. When they recalled the scene, it urred to them that the young mage had only used six offensive spells to deal with the Raging me Beastman, five me Bursts, and one Earth Rending Hand.


    “Grrrr...”


    Those Raging me Beastmen were clearly stunned by Lin Yun’s attacking methods and let out growls of disbelief. Several pairs of dark red eyes once againnded on Lin Yun. They were no longer vicious and fierce... They were now filled with fear. To the Beastmen, that young mage seemed like a living nightmare.


    He was too scary...


    A tribe’s outstanding prophet didn’tst more than ten seconds before his body was crushed.


    But Lin Yun didn’t n to stop. A disk with red and blue radiance rose up behind him, floating behind him like a bright moon. As he poured mana into it, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel blossomed with light, and several hundred low-tier spells rushed forth, flooding three of the Peak High Mage Beastmen. They didn’t have time to even scream before turning into corpses.


    Hovering in the air with Levitation, Lin Yun looked down at the remaining Raging me Beastman Mages as he expressionlessly raised the Doom Staff. With a burst of light, one me Burst after another flew towards them, dragging long trails of mes behind them. These were followed by miserable shrieks.


    After ten seconds, only two of the original dozen Raging me Beastmen remained. They were the most powerful two,parable to 3rd Rank Archmages, but they werepletely terrified. How could they not be after what they had just witnessed?


    At this time, Ida and Yuri were both watching with their eyes wide open, the spells they had been preparing fizzling out instead. ‘Damn, is he really a 5th Rank High Mage?’


    Of the dozen Raging me Beastmen, the weakest had been Peak High Mages. Wasn’t that powerful enough? Even a 5th Rank Archmage would be in huge danger when being surrounded by this group, yet they had been unable to do anything against the young mage...


    When they first met Lin Yun, both Ida and Yuri had been questioning his abilities in their minds... as well as openly... They had wondered if he was qualified to be a nar Legion Commander at all.


    But now, Ida and Yuri no longer dared to have such thoughts...


    If such a frightening guy wasn’t qualified to be a nar Legion Commander, then no more than a handful of people in the entire Ancestral Land could be qualified!


    Who would have thought that a young 5th Rank High Mage would have such terrifying strength?


    Their had extremelyplicated thoughts.


    The fight hade to an end...


    There had been over ten Raging me Beastmen at first, but only two remained after Lin Yun made a quick move. Soon, the twost Raging me Beastmen let out their final roars under the attacks from Lin Yun’s group and turned into cold corpses. Seeing the dozen corpses, Ida and Yuri let out a long sigh. It was inconceivable... These were some of the strongest members of the Raging me Beastmen tribes, but they were nowying down on the ground.


    Syudos scattered, turning into countless mes that burnt the bodies into nothingness. After finishing this, Lin Yun led Ida and Yuri back.


    The waves of Elemental lifeforms had been summoned and controlled by those Raging me Beastmen, but after their deaths, they went out of control and no longer rushed at the me Demon Fort. Many of them even broke away from the battlefield.


    The nar Legion kept fighting for the next three hours, and after killing the scattered Elemental lifeforms and clearing the battlefield, they once again returned to the me Demon Fort.


    After returning, Lin Yun went into his living quarters for a moment before calling Ida Merlin and Yuri Merlin and leaving for the meeting hall.


    At this time, Thorne, as well as a few higher-ups of the nar Legion, were discussing something in low voices. Seeing Lin Yun’s group, they couldn’t help being stunned. They all looked at him, but no one took the initiative to greet him.


    “You guys can go deal with your other matters...”


    Thorne’s expression became dark when Lin Yun entered. He waved his hands and sent out a few high ranked members of the nar Legion and then put his arms behind his back. He gave Lin Yun a stern look, a ghastly sneer on his face, “Mafa Merlin, you are quite skillful...”


    To tell the truth, Thorne was furious. While he was protecting the me Demon Fort, holding back the Elemental Legion, that Mafa Merlin had led two Archmages out into the middle of nowhere. There was simply no end to the Elemental lifeforms outside of the fort, so let alone a few people, even if the entire nar Legion left the fort to face those Elemental lifeforms, they would end up facing annihtion.


    Back then, Thorne felt that Mafa Merlin would most likely note back.


    He should have been happy about it, but he wasn’t happy at all. Before he left, it was made clear that this nar War was extremely important to the Merlin Family and that no slip-ups would be allowed. It would be a huge blow to the Merlin Family if Mafa, who wasparable to himself in terms of strength, fell in battle.


    For the Family’s interests, Thorne had hoped that Mafa Merlin wouldn’t die in the battle, no matter how much he loathed him.


    After clearing the battlefield, he heard from a subordinate’s report that Mafa indeed hadn’t died.


    ‘That guy is truly lucky...’


    When he heard this, Thorne felt angry. ‘That damned Mafa Merlin, he isn’t thoughtful enough as a Commander! He just came to the Raging me ne and already caused trouble.’


    As he thought of this, Thorne’s feelings became apparent on his visage. He resisted the urge to point his finger at Lin Yun’s face, but he still sternly said, “Mafa Merlin, do you know how grave the consequences could be when you take people away from the me Demon Fort without permission, and at such a critical time? The me Demon Fort that our Merlin Family had managed to obtain after so much trouble might have been lost. This kind of responsibility isn’t something you or I can assume!”


    “Sir Thorne, you probably misunderstood...” Lin Yun frowned, his voice cold. He had promised Oren Merlin a day before that he would try as much as possible to not sh with Thorne in the Raging me ne and jointly lead the nar Legion to look for the ancestor’s ruin.


    “Misunderstood?”


    Thorne Merlin sneered as if he had heard the dumbest joke of his life. He looked at Lin Yun, thinking, ‘Sure enough, this guy can’t do anything right. Apart from being powerful, he doesn’t have any strong points. The most hateful part is that he doesn’t want to admit it.’


    “Sophistry! At such a critical time, you led important forces out of the me Demon Fort, everyone in the nar Legion has seen this! Even if you embellish it, no one will believe you.”


    Thorne couldn’t help ring up, looking at Lin Yun with a strange expression. He originally nned to drop the matter as long as Lin Yun admitted he was wrong. But he hadn’t expected the youth to be stubborn and argue. Seeing the youth try to shirk the me like that immediately put Thorne in a bad mood. The young mage was very disappointing as a Commander and had almost caused a disaster. Moreover, he wasn’t willing to acknowledge his mistakes.


    ‘This is no good... If this person remains in the Raging me ne, he will cause a disaster sooner orter.’


    “You don’t need to exin anything else! I’ll send in a truthful report to the Family Council, if there was any ulterior motive, you should exin it to the Family Council yourself,” Thorne Merlin expressionlessly said as if he had sealed Lin Yun’s fate. “But I think it would be better for you to not seek trouble. Even if you have a special identity, the Family Council will conduct this trial fairly.”
