North's expression gradually changed from ferocious and angry to cold and dead silence. The magic power that was scattered around was quickly mobilized and then immersed in the dozens of armors that were displayed around the banquet hall like decorations.

Under the combined effects of magic and psychic energy, these unconscious dead objects actually moved like real guards, waving their giant axes and bows and arrows, and rushing towards Lin En in an orderly manner.

[Fossils to mud]

Lin En dodged five flying arrows, then raised his hand and pointed at the ground. Under the sweep of magic waves, the rows of floor tiles were transformed into fine sand.

The speeding psychic guards sank directly into the sand like a rolling gourd, and then the sand and stones soaked in magic power piled up.

Psionic Spell - [Summon Sphinx]

Lynn followed North's example and used his unskilled psychic magic. The piled up sand and stones eventually turned into a monster with a human upper body and a lion-like lower body.

However, since it was the first time to try this new thing, the Sphinx looked very distorted, like a figurine made by a child. After punching away three or two psychic guards that rushed over, half of its body was blown off by a pyroblast...

【Magic-Bullet Screen】

After realizing that his half-baked psychic spells could not provide much help in the battle, Lin En once again used the magic he was best at. Dozens of flashing missiles floated in the air, like a dense rain of arrows, covering most of the banquet hall.

Accompanied by a series of roars, the remaining psychic guards were all smashed into pieces, and then crashed directly into the solid [Magic Barrier] behind them.

Each one was like a cannonball, exploding immediately upon hitting the magic barrier.

In just two seconds, the solid [Magic Barrier] was already covered with cracks. Just when the barrier was on the verge of breaking, North opened his mouth.

A sharp sound wave continued to echo in the banquet hall. More than a dozen [Magic Missiles] that were about to hit the barrier exploded instantly. Lin En's figure paused and his movement stopped in place.

That was the [Soul Scream]! When North saw that Lin En's movements had an obvious pause, he immediately realized that the opponent's soul power was not as strong as his, and immediately raised the scepter in his hand.

【Magic Impact】

At the top of the scepter, fine runes lit up one by one, and then a strong beam of magic power suddenly shot out, aiming directly at Lin En, who was unable to move under the influence of [Soul Scream]!

However, North soon discovered to his horror that Lin En, who should have been unable to move, actually raised his arm freely. A faint flame condensed at his fingertips, and then the flame quickly expanded and condensed into a huge demon's hand made of endless flames, which collided with the flying magic beam.

The violent white phosphorus fire almost instantly devoured the beam of magic power and imprinted heavily on the already shattered magic barrier.

“Crack—”

A crisp sound was heard, and the entire magic barrier was shattered. Then the devil's hand swept across every inch of the banquet hall with a devastating force. Everything that blocked its path was destroyed in an instant, and finally rushed towards North behind.

North only had time to release a [Mage Shield] before he was engulfed in the scorching flames.

Sharp screams soon rang out from the raging sea of ​​fire. The weak [Mage Shield] was obviously unable to withstand the [White Phosphorus - Hand of the Fire Demon] which had reached the limit of three-ring magic. In just a moment, the white phosphorus flame came into close contact with North's body.

The originally outstanding physical recovery speed has now become a torture. Under the constant repair and destruction, North's spirit is almost collapsed. The magic power in his body is quickly exhausted, and the physical recovery speed is becoming slower and slower.

Lin En then raised his hand and extinguished all the white phosphorus flames.

North's body had been burned beyond recognition and looked almost like a mummy, but his enormous soul power allowed him to maintain his last bit of consciousness. His red eyes stared at Lin En, as if he didn't understand why the other party was able to suddenly break free from the shackles of [Soul Scream].

"I just lied to you, idiot!" Lin En said coldly.

After drinking the [Source of Magic] made from the essence of the Eye of Death and becoming a psychic, the soul power he possessed was no less than that of North, who had devoured a large amount of soul power.

So when the opponent used [Soul Scream], although Lin En was affected to some extent, it was not to the extent that he was unable to move and cast spells.

He pretended to be under control in order to make North relax his guard so that he could use his strongest magic to kill him...

North's scarlet eyes widened, scarlet blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body began to twitch. He seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his life force was completely gone.

"Could he be angry to death?" Lynn shook his head, walked forward, placed his right hand on North's hot head, activated psychic magic, and prepared to retrieve the other party's memory.

But it was soon discovered that North's memory was disorganized and rapidly fading.

Obviously, the person who set up this formation could not escape the fate of being devoured in the end...

Lin En glanced at the intelligent computer that didn't respond at all, and immediately confirmed his guess.

The intelligent brain's conversion and absorption of spirits into energy is not without restrictions. In addition to having to be very close to itself, there should also be strength requirements... Judging from the fact that the converted energy reserves do not exceed 10%, those that are directly captured and absorbed should all be the souls of wizard apprentices, and they must be in a state of being independent of the physical body.

Just as I was thinking about it, bursts of explosions were heard outside the banquet hall.

Lin En's expression remained unchanged. He was controlling the rats and crows to quietly use liquid bombs to destroy several formation nodes in the manor.

However, Lin En soon discovered that the development of things seemed to be different from what he expected. The soul-devouring magic circle covering the entire banquet hall did not end, but continued to spread to the outside world.

The guards who had hurried to the node of the magic circle after hearing the explosion suddenly fell to the ground with painful expressions on their faces. A faint blue light emerged from their bodies and then sank into the ground...

Not only that, the hounds patrolling the manor, the horses and camels in the stables could not escape the fate of having their souls extracted.

The Devouring Array, which had once again gained strength, glowed with dark green light and surged towards the entire South City District...
