Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Overestimating it?!

It is suspected that one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts is actually in the possession of a high-level mage.

If that's true, then they've overestimated him.

But right now...

Morpheus and the others froze on the spot, their pupils trembling slightly, their mouths unconsciously half-open.

The echoes of the shrieks of the spirit demons and the roar of the wind pressure cannons still seemed to linger in my ears.

His mind was buzzing, repeatedly pondering Lin Gui's nonchalant words.

Every word was like a heavy hammer, shattering their understanding.

You don't rely on magical artifacts?

With that speed... they actually carved their way through the Wailing Corridor?!

Countless legends met their tragic ends, countless epics crumbled, and even the Demon King, who once attempted to transcend the epic realm, perished here.

This desolate land has swallowed countless powerful beings...

You actually managed to "conquer" me in this way?

So, who... overestimated whom?!

This fact was a hundred or a thousand times more shocking to them than Lin Guizhen possessing a divine artifact!

The airship finally came to a stop on a relatively flat, open area of ​​ruins in Blackwater City.

"Sizzle—"

Ashura released a burst of qi from his fingertips, precisely severing the steel cables binding him.

The instant the rope loosens.

"vomit--!!!"

Luger was the first to give up.

His massive body leaned forward abruptly, bracing himself against a half-broken stone wall beside him with one hand.

He clutched his abdomen with his other hand and began to gag violently, veins bulging on his forehead.

Ash's steps swayed slightly when he landed.

His face was frighteningly pale, his thin lips pressed into a straight line as he tried his best to maintain his posture.

But the hands hanging by his sides, knuckles white from being clenched, trembled slightly.

Kylian used his staff for support to steady himself.

This usually composed fox-man sage now had his chest heaving noticeably, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down several times.

He barely managed to suppress the sour taste rising in his throat.

Even Eve frowned and quickly walked to the side.

Beside a flower bed that had long since dried up, leaving only withered yellow weeds, he bent over and lightly vomited.

Lin Gui put away the dagger he used to inspect the flying boat, looked at the scene before him, and simply smiled knowingly.

He was already used to this kind of reaction.

But when he looked up and met the gazes of those legends…

His eyes had completely changed.

Surprise, disbelief, disbelief, and a hint of... unease.

It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

No, it's even worse than that.

Even if Lord Guxin himself led the team, traveling back and forth between Blackwater City and Avalon.

They also need to rely on the faint senses of the Demon King Pillar at all times and carefully plan every detour.

To avoid those terrifying beings, one often has to take a very long detour.

The time spent was never less than a full day.

Sometimes you might even encounter epic demons migrating their territories.

They had to find an opening and lie in wait, patiently waiting for several days until the other side had completely moved away before daring to continue.

Where is Kelin the Ghost?

Ten minutes!

From the start of the wind pressure cannon to its landing at this moment, less than ten minutes have passed!

That's how he ended up...

They barged right through!

Just a moment ago, they were on the edge of Avalon, nervously figuring out how to avoid those "apexes" that only the Demon King Pillar could vaguely detect.

The next moment, the young mage was piloting this seemingly simple flying boat.

Carrying them, straight, savage, almost arrogant—

He crashed headlong into the realm of those beings' perceptions!

There is no heavy protective barrier.

They were not covered in sturdy armor.

They didn't even activate any concealment magic!

Just like that, so naked.

In front of countless terrifying demons.

Charged past!

Shadow Blade Lin, the legendary high-ranking assassin whose speed is unparalleled across the continent.

He is hailed as the embodiment of extreme speed.

There is absolutely no way she could do that!

Absolutely impossible; to perfectly traverse the entire Howling Corridor solely based on speed!

But the one in front of me...

This is a junior mage who is only a high-ranking mage.

He did it.

for a long time.

Luger's heavy breathing gradually subsided.

Ash loosened his clenched fist, his face still pale, but he steadied his breathing.

Killian slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Eve also silently walked back and stood quietly beside Lin Gui.

No one spoke.

Only the howling wind echoed through the ruins, passing through the broken pillars and streets.

They remained silent, their gazes a complex mix of shock, scrutiny, and a hint of bewilderment.

Focus on the gray-robed mage who is bending over, carefully examining the wear marks on the edge of the airship.

The deathly wind of Blackwater City whipped up dust, sweeping across the ruins.

Yet, it could not dispel the overwhelming sense of absurdity and awe that permeated their hearts.

"wrong!"

The wise man Kylian couldn't resist and stepped forward, his aged fox face full of struggle and confusion.

"Then what was that concealment technique you just used... that we couldn't detect at all?"

Lin Gui was inspecting the wind pressure cannon at the stern of the airship when he heard this and turned around, a hint of "doubt" appearing on his face.

"That one."

He smiled, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing the weather.

"I specialize in stealth magic, and in that respect... I just have a little bit of personal expertise."

"..."

A small...personal achievement?

Several legendary powerhouses, including Morpheus, were instantly plunged into even deeper bewilderment.

The air froze for a few seconds.

Ruger picked at his ear, wondering if he had vomited too much and was hallucinating.

Morpheus's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back.

Ash, the legendary mid-ranking assassin, finally couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead.

He uttered a whisper that sounded almost like a soul-searching question, his voice tinged with an unusual bewilderment:

"Ten years have passed..."

"I spent a full ten years in Avalon..."

"Has the outside world... become this outrageous?"

"Are all high-level mages like this nowadays?"

Standing beside Lin Gui, Eve looked at these legendary powerhouses who were usually high and mighty, but now collectively questioned their existence.

She couldn't help but lower her head, her shoulders trembling almost imperceptibly, and she pursed her lips to suppress a laugh.

If they knew...

They knew that Lin Gui's "levitation technique" was so superb that it was worthy of being recorded in history.

They knew he possessed the "Eyes of the Underworld," which could see into souls and intimidate demons.

Knowing about the "Awakening" spell, which is extremely rare even in soul magic and can resist the mist of the Wailing Wall...

I wonder what kind of amazing expression they'll make next.

However, what Eve didn't know was—

The abilities like levitation, the Netherworld Eye, and the Awakening Technique, though incredibly powerful, are ultimately bestowed upon them by the "system."

Only the "gauze dress in the dark of night".

This entire process, from conception to refinement, from theory to practice...

It was all Lin Gui alone.

On countless dangerous nights.

Relying on the will to survive and obsession in desperate situations.

Advanced stealth magic was developed through trial and error, and refinement.

That is the one that truly belongs to him, a creation capable of overturning the existing system of stealth magic, a truly miraculous creation.

It was also along this journey that Lin Gui's eldest uncle, who had traversed countless terrifying wildernesses, came to be.

In terms of importance, the Night Veil even surpasses the Levitation Technique.

Lin Gui has never revealed this magic to anyone.

Even if he manages to settle down in the City of a Thousand Towers after it is made public.

To become a master of magical theory and be respected by others.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Gui's name will be etched on a page of the history of mages as a "pioneer".

But Lin Gui did not do that.

He returned to the dilapidated and small city of the New Testament, all alone and without possessions.

Because Lin Gui knew that if this magic fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives...

This will lead to a terrible disaster.

Morality was broken during the city-state era.
