Chapter 561 - Egg Meet Stone



Chapter 561: Egg Meet Stone

Translator: Shiraishi  Editor: TheAlliance

The sky turned dusky, greatly impairing visibility. But, the most serious issue was the abyssal power filling those spatial tears. The tears were like stars… No, stars would emit light at least, while this abyssal power was incredibly sinister. No one doubted that once the Orachiss’ spell fully came into effect, they wouldn’t have the chance to escape.

Of course, the Orachiss was still only accumulating mana because it didn’t have the ability to instantly cast an Abyssal Spell. Although the ants in front of it had resisted a wave of attacks, there were still flames and frost everywhere.

“Damnit, I knew it, I knew it!” Suval was quivering in fear as he looked at the surroundings and even forgot to try to cast anything. “The power of the Orachiss isn’t… Isn’t something we can stand up against… It’s all because of that damned Mafa Merlin…

‘If Mafa Merlin hadn’t insisted, why would we stay in this damned place? Why would we face that damned monster? We would have fled far away by now, and we might have already found the Raging Flame Emperor’s scepter, attaining great achievements for the Black Tower!

‘This is all because of Mafa Merlin’s arrogance! He thought he could do something in such a desperate crisis, he thought he could handle the Orachiss… But take a look! Look at everything before you! This has already become a hellish forest, any fool would know that we are doomed! There is no chance…

‘Even if everyone works together, we can’t even leave a scratch on the Orachiss… We can only be buried alongside Mafa Merlin now…’

But…

While Suval was cursing in his mind, he suddenly felt strange mana fluctuations all around him. As he was still on his guard, Suval subconsciously rolled away.

It was followed by an explosion as a thick pillar of flame suddenly rose up from Suval’s location.

This pillar of flame suddenly split open.

In a flash, countless flames splashed over, turning Suval’s world crimson.

It looked like there were no gaps between those boundless flames, and as he panicked, Suval was struck multiple times. Each fireball came from the red head of the Orachiss. Even Suval came to the conclusion that he wouldn’t be able to last long under such a barrage.

Indeed…

Suval could clearly feel that the Runic Shield protecting him was about to crumble, and if he lost the Runic Shield, he probably wouldn’t even last another second.

‘Not good, this can’t continue, I have to find a way… I might be able to escape if someone blocked the pillar of flames for me, but everyone is under pressure, including Sir Falton and Weiss. No one is free to help…

‘Hold on… That’s…?’

As he was panicking, Suval suddenly saw a familiar figure…

‘It’s the attendant of that damned Mafa Merlin, that wretched Beastman!’

Xiuban was brandishing Carnage and using his own Beastman Race’s unique Beastman Runes to make his skin flicker with a dark gold layer, making him look truly impressive.

But Suval didn’t care about that. He smiled when he saw Xiuban.

Nothing was more suitable that this brainless Beastman for standing against this terrifying power.

Thinking of this, Suval immediately made a decision. He relied on the fact that his Runic Shield was still standing to withstand the blows from some of the fireballs as he cast Flame Flash to appear behind the Beastman and then use Flame Shackles. Xiuban, who had been resisting the Abyssal Spell, hadn’t thought that someone would mount a sneak attack on him. He didn’t manage to react in time and was bound by Suval’s Flame Shackles…

‘Good! I’m really too quick-witted…’

As he was held in place by the Flame Shackles, Xiuban became Suval’s shield and took over a hundred fire attacks for him in less than ten seconds…

Even if the Draconic Beastman had an abnormal body, he still became covered in burns and bruises in a short time.

“Fortunately you were there, haha…” Suval’s mood became cheerful. He held Xiuban in place to block the fire attack for him while laughing hysterically.

As for Xiuban’s life and death, Suval simply didn’t care…

If Mafa Merlin’s attendant died, then he died, would Mafa dare to kill him at this moment?

Hatred flashed in Suval’s eyes. He hated Mafa Merlin, and that included everyone close to him. In fact, if he had the ability, he wouldn’t mind dealing with that Reina too.

In any case, since he couldn’t deal with Mafa Merlin himself, he might as well get rid of the subordinates.

Such as that brainless Beastman. The idiot had a terrified expression when the flames hit him, and Suval delighted in the Beastman’s fear, imagining Mafa in the Beastman’s place…

“Wait, what’s that?” A huge hand abruptly appeared out of nowhere…

Suval’s smile immediately froze.

That hand that fell down had already caught him…

“F*ck!” Suval shouted in surprise. At that time, the Flame Shackles spell was interrupted and Xiuban fell down to the ground.

As for Suval…

He was already looking at a familiar face.

“Mafa… Mafa Merlin!”

Suval’s heart suddenly stopped throbbing. He felt as if he’d fallen into an icy cave, his entire body freezing, from his sole to his scalp.

“Suval, I told you before that there wouldn’t be a next time…”

Lin Yun’s voice was as cold as ice…

“No… No… Mafa Merlin, you can’t… you can’t!” Having a bad premonition, Suval shrieked as he tried to unleash all his power, doing all he could to struggle free.

Unfortunately, this couldn’t stop the large hand from grabbing him once again…

Then, a rumble could be heard.

Suval’s body was ruthlessly smashed against a rock that was covered in frost. Suval felt as if a terrifying beast had smashed him, like every bone in his body had cracked…

But…

Suval soon discovered that this was only the beginning…

After the impact, Suval felt his body being lifted again, and then… It was like crushing an egg against a stone…

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Once, twice, thrice…

His body collided with the rock, letting out disgusting noises, and only his intermittent screams proved that he was still alive.

An esteemed Archmage was like an egg being cracked open against a rock. It was the first time Suval actually felt like dying…

Unfortunately, even if he wanted to die, he couldn’t…

The game of “egg meet stone” was still ongoing.

After a minute, Suval no longer was recognizable as a person.

After two minutes, Suval no longer was able to let out any sounds…

After three minutes, Suval couldn’t even form coherent thoughts anymore…

“Cough cough…”

The game of “egg meet stone” lasted no less than three minutes, until Weiss opened his mouth. “Errm, High Mage Merlin, you see… In the end, Suval is still an Archmage of the Black Tower.”

“I’ll say it again. I already gave Suval a chance.” Lin Yun didn’t even look at Weiss, as he emphasized his words before smashing Suval against the rock once again. The deep sound even made Weiss feel numb…

But even so, he still needed to persuade him…

“High Mage Merlin, with how magnanimous you are, how about letting Suval go this time? You have a good relationship with the Black Tower… If you kill Suval here, it might affect the relationship between the Black Tower and the Merlin Family.”

“Are you done?” Hearing Weiss’ lengthy explanation, Lin Yun frowned and glanced at Weiss. To him, Weiss was like an annoying, buzzing fly at this moment.

“Eh…” Weiss took back the words he was about to say, his apologetical smile frozen.

“If you are done, I shall continue…”

“…”

After ten minutes of “egg meet stone”, Suval breathed his last breath…

Lin Yun casually sent a fireball over to burn up the corpse that no longer had human shape…

Resentment and admonishment could be seen in his eyes.

“Ah…” Since it had reached this point, Weiss could only let out a long sigh.

In fact, Weiss knew that Suval had gone too far. He kept making moves against his ally, which was already ripping the alliance to shreds. Whether it was emotional or rational, it was normal for the young mage to kill him.

This was also the reason that, although Weiss said something, he didn’t really try to stop Lin Yun.
