Chapter 1415: Leopard Tail Worm



Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


While Lin Yun was trying to tell the direction, a dangerous aura fell from the sky. The thick clouds seemed to be exploding, and an enormous furry tail that was more than 700 meters long fell.


The tail was so fast that there was no effect on the clouds at all. It was not until the tail almost hit Lin Yun’s head that a gigantic hole appeared in the clouds.


Lin Yun instantly disappeared. The enormous tail slapped down where he had been standing, causing feeble ripples in space. The force of the tail hit the ground, and initiated continuous explosions.


It almost seemed as if countless magic bombs had been buried underground. A lot of gigantic stones were thrown to the heights of the tree crowns in explosions, and many trees were torn to pieces. The explosions stretched out in a straight line thousands of meters long on the ground. After the dust settled, an empty area eight kilometers long and hundreds of meters wide appeared in the forest.


After the strike, the thing that assaulted Lin Yun from the sky revealed itself. He took out the Draconic Staff, and held the Book of Death in his left hand. The chains on the surface of the Book of Death crumbled, sending out a terrifying power of death. The crystal phoenix craned its head from the page, but immediately ducked it down upon seeing the monster.


Lin Yun had no time to care about the phoenix’s cowardice. He stared at the monster above his head, and realized what it was.


Its torso looked like a green caterpillar that was a dozen meters long. There was one weird horn on its head and three claws that had webs underneath its body. Behind its back was an enormous leopard tail hundreds of meters long.


Its body was only a dozen meters long, but its tail was hundreds of meters long. It only had a mouth, but no nose or ears. It looked quite strange.


Lin Yun had been wondering why he was suddenly assaulted even though he had been hiding perfectly, and few creatures spotted him. He figured out why.


The Leopard Tail Worm was probably the only thing that had been confirmed real in the Kingdom of Nightmares.


Not everything in the Kingdom of Nightmares was fake. This forest could be real. The beasts from the age of gods could be real too.


But nobody knew that for sure. Lin Yun was not certain that they were real even though he had collected materials from them.


The only thing that he knew for sure was real and not created by the power of the Kingdom of Nightmares was this Leopard Tail Worm.


It was said that the worm was a parasite to the Kingdom of Nightmares, or rather living on the body of the King of Nightmares. It would eat everything that wasn’t supposed to exist in the Kingdom of Nightmares.


Anyone who had a soul would cause influence after they entered the Kingdom of Nightmares. Such influence couldn’t be controlled, at least not by those who were weaker than the King of Nightmares.


Feeling the influence, the Leopard Tail Worm would come and swallow the souls that jeopardized dreams. Vampire ancestors were free to visit this place because they were soulless.


The Leopard Tail Worm wouldn’t care no matter what they did. The worm was only interested in souls.


Lin Yun was quite solemn. After recognizing the Leopard Tail Worm, he instantly activated the Chapter of the Dead, and turned into a skeleton king. Leopard Tail Worms didn’t really have levels. They would always be on the same level as their opponents when they appeared. The Leopard Tail Worm Kings could even be two levels stronger than their opponents.


If any Leopard Tail Worm Kings found Agalon, the latter would have to run too. Two levels above him meant that the worm would be beyond the Heaven Rank. Lin Yun would have to run off too if he encountered a level-49 monster…


This was different from when his level was low. When he was an Archmage, Lin Yun was fearless even in the presence of other Archmages who were five levels stronger. However, the gap between level 7 and level 9 of the Heaven Rank couldn’t be crossed. It was even greater than that between level 7 of the Heaven Rank and a Great Mage.


Fortunately, he was only facing an ordinary level-47 Leopard Tail Worm. But Lin Yun wasn’t really in level 47.


He had reached level 47 by swallowing a pure soul fire with the ability of the Chapter of the Dead. Only his understanding of the law of darkness was in level 47. His understanding of other laws wasn’t quite there yet. He was the strongest only when he transformed into the skeleton king with the bloody scythe of death.


He turned into the skeleton king, and took out the bloody scythe of death. Instantly, he looked much more intimating, and the Leopard Tail Worm’s pressure was significantly reduced.


The thick furry leopard tail slapped at him again, and Lin Yun waved the bloody scythe of death and slashed it.


The skull on the scythe of death opened its mouth and screamed. A lot of dark and desolate runes surfaced on it, and the edge of the scythe was enshrouded in the brilliance of blood. The power that could cut souls expanded 10 times. It was as if the blade was sharpened all of a sudden.


As Lin Yun swung it, the bloody scythe of death instantly turned 100 meters long, with the illusion of an enormous skeleton appearing on its body. The skeleton wore a ragged cloak and a hood on its head. There were vortexes of death in its eyes as it held the scythe of death and slashed.


The illusionary skeleton cut the Leopard Tail Worm’s tail. It seemed unscathed, but the Leopard Tail Worm stopped attacking, and screamed so miserably as if countless banshees were shrieking right next to Lin Yun’s years.


Everything he saw was twisted, and turned into an abstract painting.


He blinked, and the picture he saw was back to normal. He saw that a vague shadow floated out of the Leopard Tail Worm’s tail. It seemed to be the part that had been cut off.


The moment the shadow appeared, the skull on the scythe of death opened its mouth and swallowed it.


Instantly, the latter half of the Leopard Tail Worm’s tail turned gray, and lost all its colors and vigor. It looked like a lifeless stone.


The Leopard Tail Worm screamed loudly in the sky, and tried to swing its tail again, only to discover that it could only command the part that hadn’t turned gray. The gray part was weighing on its tail like a heavy stone.


After swallowing part of the Leopard Tail Worm’s tail, the bloody scythe of death seemed even more powerful, and adapted to the laws of this place.


Lin Yun soared and waved the scythe of death again. Unwilling to give in, the Leopard Tail Worm opened its mouth, and spurted a mouthful of black fluid, which stained the space as if it were an oil painting. As the black fluid flowed down, the space was riddled with holes and falling apart.


Unfortunately, it didn’t work on the scythe of death’s shadow at all. The scythe of death slashed again, and cut off the remaining half of the Leopard Tail Worm’s tail. The skull on the scythe swallowed the shadow from the other half of the tail. Then, the Leopard Tail Worm seemed to have lost all its power, and fell from the sky.


Holding the scythe of death, Lin Yun landed aggressively. Then, a human face appeared on the Leopard Tail Worm’s face, and looked at Lin Yun in fright.


“Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. This is my first time. I’ve never carried out a mission on myself yet…”


The Leopard Tail Worm sounded like a terrified kid. Without the tail, its level had plummeted by more than 10. Its childish face was full of horror. It was trembling with fear when it looked at the skull on the scythe of death.


It had every reason to be terrified. The Leopard Tail Worms could hardly be killed, especially in the Kingdom of Nightmares, where they could make use of the power of the King of Nightmares and become as strong as their opponents.


It didn’t expect that it would be crippled so easily. Even the shadow of its soul had been cut apart. If it was slashed again, its soul would be cut apart, and it would be completely dead.


If its soul remained, it would revive in the Kingdom of Nightmares even if it died, even though it might take a while. But if its soul was killed and swallowed, there was no way that it could come back to life.


The Leopard Tail Worm shrieked and trembled with fear on the ground.


Lin Yun’s soul fire was shivering as he listened.


“Shut up. You’ll talk when I let you talk. I’ll kill you if you keep screaming.”


Lin Yun’s cold soul waves spread out, and the Leopard Tail Worm closed its mouth, and looked at Lin Yun pitifully.


“Your face is upside down. Reverse it.”


Hearing that, the Leopard Tail Worm instantly reversed its mouth upside down. Previously, its mouth had been above its eyes. It looked much more agreeable at this moment. It must’ve transformed into this chubby kid when it detected some of Lin Yun’s soul waves.


The fat kid lay on the ground, unable to move. It was dragging a gray tail that was hundreds of meters long when its body was only a dozen meters long. The tail was already a burden for it.


It stared at Lin Yun pitifully. It wanted to say something, but didn’t dare to.. It could only wait in silence.
