End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1221 - Fatal Crisis 2



Chapter 1221 Fatal Crisis 2

As the Natural Demiplane appeared behind Lin Yun, his consumed mana was restored in an instant and the throbbing of his soul stabilized.

Enderfa and Syudos floated back to Lin Yun’s side. Enderfa’s three faces had distorted expressions, they gritted their teeth and glared at those few Heaven Puppets before cursing, “These repulsive iron cans can actually use these kinds of tricks?! Damn b*stards, f*ckers, I’ll tear them all apart.

“Merlin, are you okay…?”

Lin Yun took a few breaths before shaking his head.

“I’m fine.”

Puppets’ tactics used their natural advantage: computing ability. Whether it was their fighting system or their battle system, they all worked based on calculations.

These puppets’ fighting systems were terrifyingly powerful, and their computing ability was even scarier as they captured all details on the battlefield to a terrifyingly degree.

The cannons on their right arms were their most powerful mean of attack and would be released when they found the best opportunity. Every blow was deadly.

He had just neglected one important detail… These were Heaven Puppets!

They awakened wisdom, and their battle systems had great cooperation ability, their goal was to eliminate intruders, it didn’t matter who did it.

The bombardment of Frostbolts reduced the Law Runic Shield’s defense, the powerful Exploding Rays were keeping the Law Runic Shield’s defensive power active while the most powerful Critical Hit Puppet attacked at the exact same time. With the help of that Steel Body Puppet, it instantly crossed a hundred meters and used the power of the momentum, along with its own power, to land an extremely powerful blow.

It instantly tore apart the eighty thousand law runes forming the Law Runic Shield!

That perfect attack and perfect cooperation was deadly, even for Lin Yun!

At the crucial moment, Lin Yun came to a realization. Relying on that wisp of enlightenment, he managed to delay that Critical Hit Puppet’s attack, and by the time the other side’s power was almost exhausted, he used a simple Mana Shield to resist.

It was the first time his Law Runic Shield was forcibly torn apart. Even the powerful enemies he had met before never managed to tear apart his Law Runic Shield.

The feeling of being near death shrouded his mind. This was a feeling he had never felt before, and he finally understood the key to advancing to the Heaven Rank.

He had previously felt that it was due to fighting intent. He had never fought to his heart content as the outcome of his battles had always been in the palm of his hand. The rhythm, the outcome, and even the process was entirely planned.

But advancing to the Heaven Rank wasn’t something that could be controlled, and no one could use the process of others’ Extraordinary Transformation for their own.

Aside from those using that Golden Temptation Potion, the key part and process of the Extraordinary Transformation would be different and they had to figure it out themselves.

But now, Lin Yun finally discovered what he needed to advance to the Heaven Rank.

Every single step since the start of his magic path had been perfect, he had the strongest Magic Conducting Rune, the most powerful Core Meditation Law Sets, and even fused with the skull of the God of Wisdom, which was known as the source of all wisdom.

And thus, his magic path was already perfect. His foundation was powerful to the point where it could be compared to a large plane’s planar barrier. That gate in the depths of his soul was his own shackles.

A foundation too formidable would actually be harder to break through and completing the Extraordinary Transformation would be even more difficult.

Lin Yun wasn’t able to break through that ancient gate, but he now knew how to do it.

It wasn’t through control, but through the most basic instinct. The instinct to become even more powerful, or it might be better to call it survival instinct!

This was the most powerful thing, something completely beyond his control, and this was also the way to complete his Extraordinary Transformation. The fiercer his battles and the more powerful his opponents, the more the gate would shake. It was because of his will to live, he didn’t want to die… He really didn’t want to die again.

That kind of power was the source of all power and would rouse all his potential.

Lin Yun floated in the air with a bright expression.

He slowly raised his Draconic Staff and an ancient scales’ shadow floated under his feet. Enderfa’s three faces solemnly controlled the Spell Wheel to float on the right tray, while Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras to float on the left tray.

Boundless radiance covered the surroundings as the Book of Death’s Element Chapter was roused to its peak. It transformed into a multi-colored ray of light that enveloped Lin Yun.

The Purple Dragon’s shadow faced up and roared while holding onto the wheel shadow. As the power of the elements floated in the surroundings, countless law runes autonomously converged towards Lin Yun’s body, forming a new Law Runic Shield.

On the ground, the Steel Body Puppet raised its tower shield while the Critical Hit Puppet hid behind it. The two casting puppets raised their arms and repeatedly shot Firebolts and Frostbolts.

On the ground, the remaining few level 39 puppets also kept casting.

A large number of spells impacted Lin Yun’s shield, but most of the bolt spells distorted as they approached Lin Yun’s body and their paths were altered, sending them flying elsewhere.

The wheel shadow behind Lin Yun kept revolving and countless law runes kept spurting out, continuously condensing Four Element Bomb that fell down like rain.

Enderfa controlled the Spell Wheel, which had its power raised to an Extraordinary Magic Tool. His elemental storms combined with Syudos floods of flames and the level 39 puppets within several hundred meters had to face the attacks of two Extraordinary Magic Tools they were no match for. They were quickly and thoroughly eliminated.

The attacks of the two Extraordinary Magic Tools, along with Lin Yun’s rain of Four Element Bombs, pressured the four Heaven Puppets. They were temporarily suppressed after their burst.

Soon, the two casting puppets took refuge behind the silver Steel Body Puppet as it was blocking Lin Yun’s attack with its huge tower shield. There was four to five Four Element Bombs falling down every second, but it only took one or two steps back. The tower shield was made from some unknown material, and with the buff of the Steel Body Rune, its defensive power reached a terrifying level.

It firmly resisted many attacks and only some burnt marks remained on the surface of the shield. The glossy surface was no longer glossy, but the shield wasn’t affected.

The four Heaven Puppets had yet to suffer an injury after half a minute. However, the burst power of Lin Yun’s Equilibrium Law could only last about a minute. After that, he would lose that explosive burst power.

Constantine and the other Sword Saints no longer had an opponent. They were hiding in the distance and watched the two battlefields, unable to intervene in either of them.

Laibo’s strength slowly started to decline. The burst of power from burning half of his vitality wasn’t something he could maintain for a long period of time. If he continued to burn his vitality, he would die even if he won the fight.

He was put into a dangerous situation by the four melee Heaven Puppets, and as his strength kept declining, he finally failed to block an attack from the Heavy Strike Puppet, that powerful power seeped into Laibo’s body and sent him flying.

He started spurting blood and even fragments of his organs in the air. When he got hit by the Heavy Strike, a part of Laibo’s aura was scattered and it decreased at a hastened speed.

At this time, the Heavy Strike Puppet and a Lightning Speed Puppet changed their target and rushed to the other side to back up the four Heaven Puppets besieging Lin Yun.

On the other side, the four suppressed Heaven Puppets hadn’t emerged from behind the shield. They only broke away from the suppression when the Heavy Strike and the Lightning Speed Puppets appeared.

The Lightning Speed Puppet was the first one to appear behind Lin Yun, its thin swords stabbing towards Lin Yun’s vitals. When they clashed against the Law Runic Shield, they roused seven thousand to eight thousand law runes. Even the strongest piercing attack roused less than ten thousand law runes.

But this broke Lin Yun’s attacking pattern. The Heavy Strike Puppet rushed over, the greatswords in its hands fiercely slamming towards Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield and its power seeped inside the Law Runic Shield and interrupted Lin Yun’s casting.

With the six Heaven Puppets besieging him, even if Lin Yun burst out with all his power, he could only be suppressed.

The Lightning Speed Puppet was like a phantom that kept harassing him, always rousing eight thousand law runes on the Law Runic Shield, consuming 10% of the Law Runic Shield’s defense at all times.

As for that Frost Weaken casting puppet, it was continuously releasing Frostbolts to weaken Lin Yun’s defenses. This took care of another 20% of the Law Runic Shield’s defense.

The other casting puppet’s ordinary Firebolts consumed 10% of the defensive power, but if it used Exploding Rays, it would consume 20% to 30% of the defensive power.

The Critical Hit Puppet and the Heavy Strike Puppet only needed one perfect coordinated attack and they could blow up Lin Yun’s shield before tearing him apart.

There was half a minute left, yet Lin Yun was still suppressed. His offensives were pretty much useless as they simply had no effect on the Steel Body Puppet.

Lin Yun took out the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion and unhesitantly swallowed it. His aura instantly rose up, and apart from Extraordinary Power being missing, Lin Yun’s aura could already compare to a Heaven Rank powerhouse.

At this time, only one of the two puppets pressuring Laibo stayed behind as the Monstrous Power Puppet joined in attacking Lin Yun.

Seven puppets with upper grade ability rune. Every single one could display the power of a Peak 1st Rank Heaven powerhouse. Four of them could even burst with the power of 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouses.

Under such circumstances, even if Lin Yun took the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion, he could only suppress his opponents and couldn’t get rid of any of them.

These seven puppets’ coordination and tacit understanding had reached an unreasonable degree. The strength they displayed was even more powerful than it had been moments ago.

As seconds slowly passed, Lin Yun’s burst window was slowly escaping his grasp. He barely managed to send out a powerful attack that could get rid of that Heavy Strike Puppet, but that Lightning Speed Puppet saved it.

The Law Runic Bomb could be resisted by that Steel Body Puppet and the price to pay would only be a part of the shield tower.

“Merlin, what can we do now? There isn’t enough time…”

Two of Enderfa’s faces were loudly chanting incantations while the third one turned towards Lin Yun to inquire with an anxious expression.

Whether it was the Equilibrium Law’s power or the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion’s power, they were restricted by time, especially the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion Lin Yun just drank. The potion instantly took effect, but could only last half a minute.

After half a minute, the power of the Bloodsobbing Holysong would dissipate, and at that time, he would be able to display a third to a fourth of his power.

And then, the seven puppets wouldn’t need more than ten seconds to tear him apart.

Time slowly passed as the deadlock continued. But Lin Yun wasn’t anxious, he was becoming calmer and calmer while the flames burning in his soul started raging with even more power.

Within that endless darkness, raging flames were covering that ancient gate. Those multi-colored flames rapidly spread towards the void and illuminated the darkness.

Seconds slowly passed as he slowly approached death.

The closer to death, the more intense the survival instinct in the depths of his soul, and the hotter the raging flames burned.

‘Survive…

‘Must survive…

‘I can’t die again…

‘I didn’t die at the end of the Magic Era to die here…’

After half a minute, that ancient copper-colored scale shadow dissipated and the Spell Wheel’s power immediately fell from the Extraordinary Grade to the True Spirit Grade.

The Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion’s power also dissipated and Lin Yun’s aura sharply decreased.

And at this time, the seven Heaven Puppets that had been suppressed suddenly burst out with their strongest power.

A Frostbolt hit Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield first. Not only did its power rouse the law runes, it even greatly weakened the Law Runic Shield’s power.

Less than a second later, the Exploding Ray fell onto the Law Runic Shield.

The power of the Heavy Strike Puppet’s Heavy Strike shook the stable Lin Yun while the Monstrous Strength Puppet fiercely bombarded Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield.

On the other side, Laibo’s strength had sharply plummeted and he ended up stabbed a few times by the Lightning Speed Puppet. Even his heart was pierced. And now, that Lightning Speed Puppet joined the other Lightning Speed Puppet to besiege Lin Yun.

The coordination of two Lightning Speed Puppets wasn’t something a single Lightning Speed Puppet could compare to. The two Lightning Speed Puppets’ speed already exceeded what Lin Yun’s eyes could catch.

He could only rely on mana and his Magic Array to catch the traces of the two puppets. But this was no longer useful.

The two Lightning Speed Puppets’ thin swords focused on attacking Lin Yun’s head and hearts, stabbing towards those two vital parts a dozen times every single second. The rapid attacks kept challenging the limits of Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield.

As his strength sharply fell, the power of the Law Runic Shield also rapidly fell. Facing the attacks of six puppets, the Law Runic Shield was already at its limits, just a little more power and it would be torn apart.

But clearly, the Critical Hit Puppet didn’t plan on making a move. Lin Yun had resisted the perfect coordination earlier, and even if there were four more puppets, it might not necessarily be able to instantly kill Lin Yun.

The Critical Hit Puppet had a frail defense, all of its power was focused on offense. If it attacked the enemy now, the best outcome would be the destruction of the Law Runic Shield.

And thus, the Critical Hit Puppet was waiting. Waiting for the other puppets to find the limits of Lin Yun’s defenses, waiting for the Steel Body Puppet to slowly get close to Lin Yun.

With Lin Yun’s current power, one hit would be enough. Just one full-strength attack from the Critical Hit Puppet could pierce Lin Yun’s heart or head.

Time slowly passed and Lin Yun’s situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. He had been able to counterattack earlier, but now, he was completely suppressed by the eight Heaven Puppets.

In the distance, Laibo had fallen on the ground with a pale complexion. He had already consumed more than half of his lifeforce. More than half of his black hair had turned silvery white, and his remaining lifeforce had gathered on his heart, restoring his pierced heart to maintain his life.

Mariana and the others, who hadn’t suffered many injuries, rushed to Laibo’s side with desperate expressions.

Mariana helped Laibo into a sitting position. Seeing the eight Heaven Puppets suppressing Lin Yun to the point where he couldn’t retaliate, Laibo actually remained calm.

“Mariana, Constantine, remember this. We are disciples of the Secret Monastery, and although we live in seclusion, away from the world, we inherited mankind’s most ancient willpower. Once Sir Mafa loses, we can’t just wait for these iron cans to get rid of us.

“We have to fight to the last moment. But do remember, Sir Mafa is our benefactor. We can’t resent Sir Mafa because we are on the verge of death.

“If not for Sir Mafa, we would have already died here…”

After saying those few sentences, Laibo became even paler. His heart, and many of his organs, had been pierced by those sharp swords. He was now relying on his huge lifeforce to halt his death… Or it would be better to say that if he was in a safe space, Laibo would be able to recover.

Unfortunately, a lack of power in this place was no different from death.

Mariana pursed up her lips and nodded.

“Rest assured, senior apprentice brother Laibo, no one can defeat the strongest Mariana. I won’t admit defeat and my situation has nothing to do with others…”
