Chapter 125: Seizing the Magic Web!

Lynn's words made Herlram hesitate for a moment, but it didn't affect his judgment.

"A wizard's apprentice could never possess so much hidden knowledge. I believe more in the possibility of body possession than that so-called 'Society of Mystical Arts,'" he thought.

However, Herlram didn't dwell on this topic any longer. He spoke solemnly, "In fact, I don't care about your identity, and my invitation to join the 'Faceless' carries no ill will. I only need one thing."

Lynn looked at the great wizard with confusion, not quite understanding his intentions.

"The perfect method for fusing souls!" Herlram said, emphasizing each word. He continued, "You can propose any conditions as long as I can fulfill them!"

Herlram maintained a humble posture and showed no immediate intention to act.

Dealing with any great wizard was no easy feat. Since he could complete the fusion and transformation of souls, his knowledge of psychic abilities undoubtedly surpassed Lynn's.

"Nos is already dead, and anyone from the council with a hint of intelligence can trace you..." Lynn shook his head. While the promise of a great wizard was tempting, Herlram's guarantee meant nothing because he was currently in danger.

"Unfortunately, I don't have what you're looking for," Lynn said straightforwardly.

"Seems like you're not willing to cooperate..." Herlram's tone grew colder, and his old, hunched figure straightened up. An intense surge of magic emanated from him, shrouding the entire circular hall.

"Then I'll have to personally dig it out of your mind!"

Herlram's gaze turned icy, and he took step by step closer. A mysterious pressure descended on Lynn's mind, both on the spiritual and magical level. Lynn felt that all the elements in the space had been tainted by Herlram's magic. His body seemed to sink into quicksand, requiring several times more effort for any movement.

This was the Fourth Circle Spell - "Slowdown Barrier"!

With each step Herlram took, the magic around him intensified. He raised his right hand, pointing it at Lynn, and the elements in the space suddenly became incredibly active.

Lynn felt an indescribable sense of danger. This magic was impossible to dodge or resist. In that moment, he even smelled the scent of death.

Was this force field magic?

Most offensive magic would likely fail under such power...

As Lynn pondered, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his head, as if a sealed iron bucket were being continuously filled with gas. The combined psychic power of the nine Third Circle wizards was evidently approaching the upper limit his brain could withstand.

(Magic - Barrage)

In an instant, Lynn noticed the failure of Flame Demon's Hand and raised his hand to conjure hundreds of Magic Missiles, probing the weak points in this force field magic.

A continuous stream of Magic Missiles shot from various directions and angles toward Herlram. As long as Lynn could detect the curvature of the space, he could potentially harm his opponent.

But Herlram clearly didn't give him that chance. Straining his body, he lightly touched his finger, and an invisible ripple spread forward in a semi-circular shape.

The Magic Missiles flying in mid-air exploded one after another.

This was the second time Lynn had faced such bizarre magic. However, unlike the encounter with Rorl, this time the power was a thousand times greater. He could clearly see a strange magical wave that crushed the Magic Missiles, rapidly closing in on him...

The speed was so fast that Lynn didn't even have time to cast a protective spell.

(Cell Transformation)

Just before the magical wave reached him, Lynn leaped into the air. Utilizing the amplifying power of his magical cells, he narrowly dodged the peculiar magical wave. However, being in mid-air also meant he lost the ability to change direction.

At the same time, countless slender, sharp iron thorns appeared in the void, like a swarm of locusts or a rain of arrows, hurtling down and covering half of the hall.

Fourth Circle Spell - Iron Sand Storm!

Just as Lynn had previously anticipated, a Grand Wizard could mimic and control more elements, but it was he himself who first experienced this!
