Chapter 361: Edweil: Feel Despair, for this is the power of legend!
The sudden change in the field stunned the wizards gathered within the Alchemy Research Institute.
In just a fleeting moment, they witnessed Arno wielding his heavy sword, cleaving Lynn in half. Flames quickly engulfed Lynn, and finally, Pulson used divine magic to detonate his adversary...
Could it be that their enemies were at odds with each other? Yoland and others were momentarily puzzled, but one thing was clear—they now had a significant advantage in a two-versus-one situation.
Caught between Lynn and Raphael's vague encirclement, Pulson's expression grew increasingly grim. He involuntarily took a few steps back, but soon felt as though he'd collided with an iron wall.
Turning abruptly, Pulson realized that, unbeknownst to him, Edweil, dressed in crimson and gold robes with an iron mask, had appeared behind him.
"Lord Edweil..." Pulson's voice betrayed both excitement and trepidation as he hurriedly attempted to explain. "Arno fell victim to a trick by these wizards, struck by that bizarre hellfire. I was merely trying to contain the flames with divine magic, but I didn't expect..."
Edweil raised a hand, silencing Pulson's explanations. He had been nearby and had witnessed everything firsthand.
His reason for not intervening directly was to guard against potential legendary wizards.
Moreover, neither Arno nor Pulson had clearly faltered in the fight. It was just that Edweil hadn't anticipated the rapid turn of events. Right after Pulson attempted to rescue Arno, Arno suddenly exploded, beyond any hope of aid...
This meant his earlier analysis was flawed. No, it should be said—they had been deceived. The opponents were now using the true 'hellfire.'"Arno's spirit will reside eternally in heaven..." Edweil softly murmured, then turned towards Lynn and Raphael, speaking coldly. "But blasphemers shall plummet into hell!"
"These so-called heaven and hell are nothing but lies used to deceive fools like you!" Raphael sneered disdainfully, moving forward. With a mere thought, the elements within his domain surged vigorously, intertwining and colliding, surging towards the two Cardinals in front of them.
This was the Five-Ring Magic—[Elemental Torrent]!
Edweil made no attempt to evade, calmly pointing a finger. "This place is the domain of gods, where all evil shall dissipate!"
As he spoke, the entire space seemed to tremble. The surging elemental torrent was instantly dispersed by an inexplicable force.
Subsequently, a grand hymn echoed throughout the Alchemy Research Institute. The land, scorched by flames, unexpectedly burst back to life. Tender green leaves and vines sprouted from the debris, wildly growing, ensnaring everyone unable to move...
"Heaven... Heaven has descended!" a guard from the capital city exclaimed frantically, his face showing fervent zeal.
Chapter nine of the Holy Book, page thirty-five: The messengers of God descend, bringing forth heaven wherever they tread, blooming with flowers...
Such celestial changes caused Lynn's expression to turn incredibly grave. Flames engulfed him, incinerating all the vegetation that had emerged.
This was no ordinary power wielded by Cardinals!
"Legendary?" Raphael exclaimed in horror.
"In the name of God, you all are sinners. Blasphemers, kneel and pray for God's forgiveness!" Edweil's voice resonated again.

Everyone present immediately felt a tremendous pressure, falling to their knees. Only Lynn and Raphael, unaffected, remained standing.
The pressure upon them surpassed even that experienced by formal wizards. Lynn felt as if he were submerged in the depths of the sea, surrounded by an overwhelming 'water pressure' from all directions, threatening to crush his body!
The elemental domain, previously encompassing a fifteen-meter radius, now shrank to three meters. The internal elements had completely lost control, becoming sluggish and scattered...
This was what being legendary meant? Lynn's pupils contracted; in a mere glance, they had lost the ability to resist.
"Judgment, punishment by blade and axe!" Edweil spoke coldly.
Chapter eleven of the Holy Book, page sixteen: Those who speak evil words, blaspheming the divine, shall experience the punishment of blade and axe, their souls cast into hell!
In the empty void, numerous figures wielding axes and blades, their faces unseen, appeared and swung toward Lynn and Raphael's heads, chests, and limbs.
Suppressed by an unknown force, the two could only watch as the sword edges and axe blades rapidly approached. Cold sweat broke out on Raphael's forehead; he hadn't expected such a vast gap between himself and a legendary being...
Lynn wasn't willing to resign to fate. Through his exceptional perception, he quickly realized that his control over the elements hadn't completely disappeared, just slowed down significantly...
"Connect me to the magical network, full power!" Lynn shouted in his mind. He felt as though his brain had exploded, his mental power rapidly soaring.
Fourth ring... Fifth ring... Sixth ring...
The evaluations in the database kept jumping. After breaking through the Grand Wizard level, Lynn had distributed the [Ring of Secrets] among many Iyeta faction wizards.
The total number of wizards connected to the magical network had surpassed fifty, most of whom were formal wizards.
Of course, merely relying on these individuals' computational power was far from enough to directly elevate his mental power by two levels. The crucial factor was that among those connected to the magical network was the legendary Speaker—Harof!
Though Harof had only entered the realm of magic once, the analysis progress was extremely slow, having reached only five percent after two whole years of relentless effort...
The smart brain faithfully executed Lynn's command, mobilizing everyone's computational power.
The sudden surge in mental power clearly strained Lynn's brain. It was a peculiar sensation because the brain's thinking and computational abilities were based on neural networks; these couldn't suddenly increase or decrease, nor could they physically burst the brain...
This time, Lynn's perception was clearer. It wasn't that his brain couldn't bear the immense computational load; every cell in his body seemed to be groaning in pain...
However, it wasn't the time to contemplate this. With the rapid increase in mental power, Lynn immediately sensed the elements within his domain reinvigorating!
"Fire!" Lynn uttered a single word. The eerie, unquenchable flame reignited from within him, engulfing the approaching spirit guards...
