Chapter 209: Killing Marco
Chapter 209 "Lynn?!"
Marco turned around suddenly and was shocked to find that the person who patted his shoulder was Lin En, who was listed as a deserter not long ago.
At this moment, Lin En was wearing a loose black wizard robe. His whole body was almost wrapped in the robe, with only one arm sticking out from the sleeve of the wide robe and resting on his shoulder.
Marco felt relieved, it turned out to be just Lin En?
He was just a first-level wizard, he remembered it was clearly written on the data.
But soon, doubts and uneasiness arose in his heart again.
The power that just exploded from that attack could never be achieved by a first-level wizard! Could it be that Lin En had mastered some powerful treasure? Or, had he encountered something extraordinary? When he thought of this, a trace of greed flashed across Marco's eyes.
"Lin En, you, a deserter, actually dared to take action in the Mechanical City? You are so courageous, simply..."
Before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped!
Suddenly, a thick tree root sprang out from Lin En's sleeves, like a giant python rushing out of the dark shadows, making a muffled sound! "Boom!"
The tree root instantly wrapped around Marco's entire body, especially his neck, which was bound tightly in almost an instant!
His defensive measures activated, and rays of light burst out in an attempt to resist the sudden attack.
However, nothing works!
The tree roots were like angry dragons containing destructive power. They easily crushed all of Marco's means of self-defense and tightly bound him and his magic circle.
Marco's face suddenly changed, his eyes were full of fear and disbelief!
He couldn't understand why his life-saving methods, which were enough to resist a third-level wizard, were like paper in front of this tree root! "No... This can't be Lin En!"
This was the first thought that came to his mind.
The next second, a strong killing intent spread through the tree roots, so cold that he could hardly breathe! In desperation, he tried his best to release his mental power and sent out a distress signal:
"My teacher is the Hammer Master! You can't kill me!"
His voice was trembling, frightened, and even pleading.
Daven and the wizard apprentices who followed Marco in the distance were all shocked at this moment.
Daven stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar black-robed figure in front of him. That was definitely Brother Lin's face.
But the strength he displayed made Daven dare not recognize him at all.
As for those wizard apprentices, they no longer dared to make any rash moves, for fear that if they moved even a little, they would be easily killed by this terrifying black-robed wizard!
However, Lynn, who was wearing a black wizard robe, looked indifferent, as if he completely ignored Marco's frightened expression.
Wanted in the Mechanical City? The reputation of the Warhammer Master?
If it were the Lin En of the past, he would indeed be cautious about this.
But now, these are unlikely to pose a fatal threat to him.
Now, not only is his own strength enough to ignore any existence below the Morning Star Wizard, he also controls the Spirit of the Blue Sky and the Golden Balance.
Even when facing a true Morning Star Wizard, he is by no means completely powerless to resist.
Since there is nothing to fear anymore, there is naturally no need to be tolerant.
With a sharp knife in hand, the desire to kill arises naturally.
This is Lin En's attitude now.
In fact, putting on a set of robes representing dark wizards also represents some meaning.
For a dark wizard, even if he does not kill people indiscriminately and trample on all life, the basic principle for him is to repay his enemies with blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
How could he possibly stop himself from Marco, the second disciple of the Warhammer Master, who had repeatedly caused trouble for him?
What's more, Lin En had just taken action in the Mechanical City, and the body of the burly wizard had not yet cooled down, so why hesitate?
So, under Marco's horrified gaze, Lynn slowly withdrew his hand.
A hint of joy flashed in Marco's eyes, mistakenly thinking that the title of "Warhammer Master" had taken effect.
But the next moment.
The tree roots that were wrapped around his body suddenly twisted! The terrifying force was like a mountain falling, crushing him from head to toe! Not only was his flesh and blood flying everywhere, but even his spirit and will were torn apart and crushed, turning into nothingness!
The second disciple of the Warhammer Master, Marco, died!
"hiss……"
Everyone present gasped.
Whether it was Daven or the wizard apprentices, their faces turned pale! Even though the two sides had been arguing fiercely just now, no one dared to believe that the second disciple of the Warhammer Master had died in the Mechanical City...
This is huge news! However, Lin En, the instigator, remained expressionless, and he did not continue to attack those wizard apprentices.
With just a gentle wave of his hand, the tree roots that protected Bephny quietly retracted into the ground.
Bephny looked at Lynn, the surprise on her face had been replaced by joy, and the next moment, she couldn't help but pounce on him.
Seeing Bethenny like this, Daven said tentatively: "Brother Lin En..."
"Davin, you're fine."
Lin En naturally took into account what happened to Daven before and knew that he was not wrong about Daven.
However, before he could say a few more words, Lin En's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and a terrifying aura suddenly approached.
"Daven, take care of yourself, I may be away for a while..."
Lynn didn't say much, just gave this instruction, then turned around and left with Bephny.
However, just as Lin En left Daven's villa, a figure suddenly appeared quietly in the sky.
She was a gorgeous woman with long burgundy hair, floating in mid-air, wearing a simple and neat mechanical armor that perfectly outlined her curvy figure, like a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Lynn raised his eyes, and through the shadow of the hood, he saw the familiar figure.
The chief disciple of the Warhammer Master, the elder sister of Daven and Marco, the great wizard Chris.
Apparently, the news of Marco's death reached her first.
What's more, Marco died inside the Mechanical City, so it is understandable that Chris could rush here so quickly.
Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep.
"Chris... is nice to me."
The great wizard had shown him kindness on many occasions.
She once said that she could protect Lin En's safety in the Mechanical City.
Even when he was transferred to the plane battlefield, Chris still took the initiative to send him the token of the research institute to express her apology and support.
At that time, Lin En was just a first-level wizard, while she was a third-level great wizard.
But the third-level wizard still felt that he had broken his promise and sent the token.
Because of this, Lynn was not willing to be her enemy.
"Let's go."
Lynn said softly to Bephny beside her.
Bephny blinked her watery eyes. Although she didn't understand her master's intention, she still nodded obediently.
Wherever her master goes, she follows.
The next moment, Lin En waved his sleeves, and a golden light emerged, like the dawn, completely covering the two of them in an instant.
High in the sky, the beautiful red-haired witch suddenly looked serious.
She naturally understood that the culprit who killed her junior brother was leaving!
The power of the flames fell from the sky like a waterfall. A blazing flame gathered in her palm and exploded in an instant! Boom! The violent flames fell like a meteor, trying to block Lin En's way! However, the golden light was even brighter and more dazzling, like a bright sun that instantly penetrated the flame barrier. Lin En and Bephney turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the sky.
The raging flames fell to the ground with a loud bang, triggering a chain reaction in the surrounding formations. The formation system of the entire block was instantly activated, and a loud alarm sounded!
Chris followed closely and landed on the charred ground. She frowned and waved her hand, using her high-level authority to quickly quell the surrounding formations and alarms.
Her eyes were solemn as she looked at Daven who was walking slowly in the distance. She let out a long breath and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
………………………………
The Mechanical City is located in the deep and dark Nightmare Rift.
Before the action, Lin En had already made arrangements, ordering the Spirit Eye Wizard and the black dragon to leave the Mechanical City first and set up anchor points in the outside world to prevent them from escaping in time in case of sudden changes.
At this moment, in the depths of the rift shrouded in darkness, the figures of Lynn and Bephny suddenly appeared and landed on the back of the inky black dragon.
The Spirit Eyed Wizard bowed slightly to Lin En, and then his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared into thin air.
Bephny looked at the endless darkness around her and the huge dragon body as big as a mountain beneath her, her little face full of surprise and shock.
Before she could marvel at her master's mysterious methods, she was shocked by the pressure naturally released from the black dragon and almost couldn't breathe.
For the elves, the suppression of dragon power is far more deadly than that of humans.
Lin En noticed that Bethenny's face was flushed and there was a hint of panic in her eyes, so he tapped the black dragon's back lightly with his toes.
The Black Dragon immediately understood and quickly restrained his own pressure, causing Bephny's expression to ease slightly.
"Leave the Nightmare Rift and head to the Dark Wizard Territory, the Emerald Island Forest."
Lynn ordered softly.
The next moment, the black dragon transformed into a dragon shadow as dark as the night, whistling through the deep rift valley and galloping away into the distance.
On the dragon's back, Lin En opened the domain magic [Falling Forest Dome], and the golden and green light fell like a forest canopy, protecting Bephny firmly inside.
At the same time, he turned to look at her and asked in a calm but meaningful tone: "Bephny, I will give you a choice now. Your strength is too weak. If you continue like this, you are destined not to be able to accompany me too far."
Bephny was curious about the wonders around her, and her heart tightened when she heard this. The expression on her face changed from amazement to panic. She looked at Lin En anxiously, afraid that he would abandon her.
However, Lin En's next words stunned her:
"I have a way to give you an extraordinary lifespan. But there is a prerequisite, you must become my slave in the true sense. What do you choose?"
After a moment of silence, Bephny's pitiful little face showed a hint of determination, and she responded softly without hesitation: "Bephny, you are the master's slave."
This seemingly noncommittal answer made Lin En's eyes narrow slightly.
Indeed, in this world, for elves like Bephny who were born in a humble family and had limited talents, their fate was often beyond their control.
If she hadn't met Lynn, her life might have been doomed.
According to the rules of the extraordinary world, the fate of the weak never belongs to themselves, and the strong can decide their life, death and belonging.
However, as a time traveler, Lin En still retains some concepts and compassion from his original world, so he has this extra opportunity to "choose".
If it were someone else, how could Bevny have a chance to express her opinion? "Okay then."
Lynn stretched out his finger and gently touched Bethenny's fair and tender brow, and a golden light quietly sank into it.
In an instant, Lynn's heart moved, and he felt a subtle connection established between his balance and Bephny.
Perhaps because Bephny was too weak, Lin En had almost no resistance when he controlled the golden balance for the first time. It was so smooth and natural that it seemed like instinct.
Bephny tilted her head slightly and looked at Lynn with her big watery eyes. Her eyes were full of confusion and expectation, as if silently asking what to do next.
Seeing this, Lin En's heart moved slightly, and she flicked her fingertips lightly, and a ray of golden light appeared in front of her forehead.
The next moment, Bephny felt her eyes light up, and a golden scale appeared in the void, like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, shining brightly.
Behind the scale, a tall and majestic figure was looming. It was Lin En's incarnation, like a being who dominated the heaven and earth, controlling this golden authority.
Bephny couldn't help but cover her red lips lightly, her eyes full of shock and awe.
However, all that grandeur only lasted for a brief moment before vanishing like a dream, as if it had never appeared.
“Feel the power in you.”
Upon hearing this, Bephny immediately concentrated her mind and discovered that an unprecedented strength was quietly emerging from her delicate body.
Although he is still at the wizard apprentice stage, his power has greatly increased compared to before.
Originally Bephny was just a first-level wizard apprentice, but now she has jumped to the level of a third-level wizard apprentice!
This leap forward was undoubtedly a huge improvement for her.
"Master... Master, this..."
Bephny bit her teeth lightly, her pretty face full of incredible shock and emotion.
"Adapt slowly and master the power I give you."
Lynn said calmly.
After hearing this, Bephny said no more. She just closed her eyes and quietly felt the new power that belonged to her alone, with a hint of concentration in her expression.
Lin En stared at her serious and focused expression, and was slightly thoughtful in his heart.
The Golden Scales can indeed grant the "Scale Slave" extraordinary powers, but this is not a miracle without a price.
Every time power is bestowed, it consumes part of the power of the scale itself and even the owner of the scale.
For a low-level apprentice like Bephny, the consumption required is negligible, just a drop in the bucket.
But if it is a higher-level existence... such as the slave at the level of the fourth-level Morning Star Wizard.
With his current control ability, he is far from being able to use the scales to elevate existence to that level.
In fact, the character of the Golden Balance is too high and there are too many secrets. It is difficult for Lin En to say that he has complete control over it now, and he is still constantly groping and exploring.
Roar! With a roar, a dark dragon shadow led Lin En and the others through the Nightmare Rift Valley and headed towards the Red Swamp...
However, although Lin En is gone, the Mechanical City is extremely lively at this moment.
It was not only because of Marco's death, but more importantly, it was because of the returning army from this plane expedition...
One after another, the war fortresses crossed the teleportation array and kept returning to the Mechanical City...
