Chapter 182: Who Dares Join the Society of Mystical Arts after This?!
The searing breath of the dragon spread instantly, extending hundreds of meters, siphoning the elements within the domain of doom, creating a terrifying sea of fire that stretched for a kilometer. The space itself seemed to ignite, carrying temperatures soaring tens of thousands of degrees, rushing towards Odessa like a tidal wave!
The crimson-robed sorcerers expression changed abruptly. He hadnt anticipated such immense power from Faiz while being so weakened.
"Divine Sanctuary!" Odessa spread his hands, conjuring several golden barriers in front of him.
Cracks
The first barrier nearly instantaneously ruptured, followed swiftly by the second and the third.
The scorching sea of mes advanced relentlessly. Odessa''s demeanor grew increasingly grave. With a gesture, the blood-red chains that had encircled the domain seemed toe alive, positioning themselves in front of him, colliding with the oing mes.
Rumbleviolent collisions reverberated through the skies, shockwaves rippling outward, threatening to copse the entire domain under this tremendous energy.
"Curses!" Odessa cursed under his breath, as the peculiar statue he held cracked faintly.
He hadn''t anticipated that this legendary wizard, so weakened, could unleash such potent dragon''s breath.
If not for the need to eliminate a dozen or so faction wizards and a master alchemist stationed within the manor, he wouldn''t have procrastinated to act against Faiz until now.
Fortunately, Odessa wasnt unprepared. What he had administered to Faiz earlier wasnt just the simple healing waters for injuries...
As expected, the ck dragon, breathing fire, soon experienced a heart-rending sensation. Intense magical bacshpelled him to cease the dragons breath, and his colossal form plummeted from the sky.
"Constrain!" Odessa sighed in relief, reactivating the statue. More chains surged from all directions, entangling Faizs dragon form.
Moreover, within the interweaving chains, sharp spikes emerged, attempting to prate Faiz''s body, disrupting his bones and organs.
Pained roars exploded in the sky. The agony momentarily suppressed Faiz''s magical bacsh, but the horrific magic surged again. Visible shockwaves radiated outward from his body, causing the surrounding chains to rupture.
Then Faiz wielded his colossal form as a weapon, charging straight at Odessa...

Half an hourter, the crimson-robed sorcerer reappeared in the room, looking disheveled with tousled hair and numerous wounds. The peculiar statue he held bore cracks, yet his blood-red eyes seemed eerier, his mouth moving as if chewing on something.
"You were too hasty. I should''ve told you, a legend isn''t easily dealt with," a familiar voice echoed through the silent manor. The crimson-robed sorcerer turned, bowing respectfully. "Sometimes, risks are still meaningful, aren''t they, Lord Merk?"
"It''s merely luck on your part. If Faiz had retained consciousness upon reaching Greynore, all our preparations would''ve been futile," Merk, a sorcerer, pushed open the door, walking in, shaking his head, speaking coldly.
The crimson-robed sorcerer remained silent, epting the reprimand.
"Is your new identity settling in?" Merk continued.
"This bodys integration is only about seventy percent, but it''s sufficient for now," the crimson-robed sorcerer replied casually.
"Good! After this matter concludes, I''ll find you a more suitable body," Merk reassured. "As for these days, refrain from acting on your own, engaging in meaningless endeavors, understood?"
"I willply, Lord Merk..." the crimson-robed sorcerer nodded slightly.
"Clean up everything here. I don''t want any unfavorable rumors these days. ording to the n, Faiz should perish at the hands of that person..." Merk instructed.
"As you wish."
The crimson-robed sorcerer bowed, outwardly deferential, yet their eyes betrayed an icy indifference.

"Mindcore, initiate overload mode, connect to the magicalwork, utilizing everyonesputing power except Harofs!"
Two dayster, at dusk, within Iyeta''s temporary headquarters, in an enclosed training ground, Lynn silently called out in his mind.
Instantly, Lynn felt an unparalleled rity in his mind. His mental prowess was rapidly expanding, and the world appeared different, indescribablea sense of perceiving things that were previously invisible.
Control over magic increased manifold...
As if the space around him had turned incredibly fragile, a mere punch could shatter it!
But Lynn didn''t let this inte his ego. He knew it was all illusory, and these sudden surges of power were borrowed! After bing an official wizard, the overload mode from the Mindcore wasn''t as effective for him. However, the emergence of the field of magic nicelypensated for it.
He named this ability to connect minds, utilizing others''puting power, the Magic Network!
It was like awork constructed from magic and mental energy, where these wizards were akin to his puppets puters remotely controlled by hackers), aiding him in theputational aspects of crafting spells.
Although it had been only a few days, thanks to Tiek and others tirelessly staying within the magical field, learning what he providedCalculus from Basics to Burialsthe Mindcores progress in breaking the mental frequency had surpassed ten percent.
Of course, the deeper they delved, the more they touched upon the core, the longer it would take to break.
Thankfully, for Lynn, this was sufficient. Drawing too muchputing power wasn''t beneficial; surpassing the limits would be a burden, affecting Tiek and others more severely.
Lynn didn''t want a repeat of the past, where after a battle, half of The Faceless, core members died on the spot, and the remaining half lost connection altogether.
Who would dare join the Society of Mystical Arts after this?
So, Lynn capped the upper limit ofputing power utilization at fifteen percent. This way, he could amplify his strength without causing severe consequences.
Next up, it was time to test his newly created magic...
