Chapter 1442: Trap
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
All of a sudden, the grass underneath Lin Yun’s feet trembled quickly, and two black vipers emerged with their mouths wide open. They spun while crisscrossing, and broke Lin Yun’s defense instantly, tying up his body.
Lin Yun’s expression slightly changed, and he spouted a rune. A lot of arc-shaped shields hit the black vipers like a storm. Agalon, who was floating near Lin Yun, instantly took action. He sprayed out starry light. When the vipers were hit, they let out earsplitting shrieks as if they were living creatures.
Hearing the shrieks, Lin Yun felt that his head was dizzy. His soul had been hit by the blast.
Lin Yun’s body fell beyond his control. The two black vipers were cut apart by Agalon, and their upper bodies darted right towards Lin Yun’s body.
The distance was so short that even Agalon didn’t have enough time to do anything. The moment he took action, another two black vipers emerged from the soil, and hit the starry light he launched.
Because of the delay, there was no time to do anything. Gandaph and the other deans didn’t have time to do anything, either. The grass in the meadow was all shivering, and transforming into black vipers that rose from the ground.
In the dangerous moment, Agalon launched a simple soul blast with his soul power, trying to knock away the head of the viper. However, Gandaph did exactly the same thing.
Their soul blasts had hit each other before they hit the viper’s head…
Gandaph’s face was pale, and Agalon’s soul waves were disordered for a moment too…
When the viper was about to bite Lin Yun, smoke popped up from Lin Yun’s Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and Enderfa’s furious roars came out.
“Oh, Merlin, damn you. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was almost destroyed. It was so close. If the great Enderfa hadn’t personally taken action, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel would’ve been broken…”
“Damn it, what the heck is that?”
Hardly had Enderfa condensed one of his faces when he saw a snake that was baring two pointy fangs. Having no time to do anything, he could only block the snake with the single horn on his forehead.
With a clink, the snake was knocked away, and the other two of Enderfa’s faces were condensed. They seemed surprised to see Lin Yun dizzy, and they protected him in the middle.
At this moment, Lin Yun finally recovered from the shock of his soul. He opened his eyes again, but his eyes were graver than ever.
The snakes were the Mantulo Black Snakes that lived in the River of Souls in the Plane of the Undead. They were highly venomous, and fed on the countless souls in the river. They could make the crazy souls pass out with nothing but a shriek. Then, they could feed on the souls easily.
If Lin Yun’s soul weren’t much more powerful than those of mages on his level, the shriek could’ve rendered him unconscious for more than 10 minutes. He could’ve died a million times during that time.
Now that the Bloody Lich had taken action, Alonzo, who had been searching for him, discovered him. He spouted a few strange syllables, and a huge part of the land collapsed dozens of meters. In the middle of the pit, the Bloody Lich was standing.
The moment the Bloody Lich appeared, the soil on the bottom of the pit seemed to be gathering into an intimidating three-eyed face and erupting towards the Bloody Lich, biting him.
The Bloody Lich sneered and moved softly, leaving two blurry shadows behind. He brushed past the enormous face and dodged it.
The wind caused by the face didn’t hurt the Bloody Lich at all. Instead, it only helped him evade faster.
Agalon coldly stared at the Bloody Lich. After he let out a simple syllable, countless stars seemed to appear in the dim sky of the Plane of the Undead. The starlight gathered into a brilliant pillar, and fell from the sky.
The starlight was so terrifyingly fast that it became a pillar that connected the sky and the earth. An arc-shaped shield appeared above the Bloody Lich’s head, deflecting the starlight. The Bloody Lich was flung away. However, the starlight’s course was also slightly changed.
The pillar of starlight collided with the enormous face that erupted from the ground.
Alonzo’s nostrils were fuming because of fury. While chasing the Bloody Lich, he cursed Agalon.
“Agalon, you didn’t do it on purpose, did you? Damn you, bastard. You surely did it on purpose!”
The Bloody Lich had been sneering all the time. Like a weightless leaf, he simply floated and dodged all the time, without fighting back or fleeing.
Lin Yun had quite a bad feeling, and Agalon was more and more serious too.
“Alonzo, if you let anger get the better of you, and you want to die here, don’t get us involved! Idiot, haven’t you noticed that something is seriously wrong?”
The three consecutive coincidences couldn’t all be coincidental. They had thought that the Bloody Lich controlled them, but no matter how strong the Bloody Lich was, he couldn’t have controlled two experts on his level, three level-8 Heaven Rank experts, and one unusual level-7 Heaven Rank expert.
The phenomenon was so weird that it was like an expert who was 10 times stronger than them manipulating and playing with them.
If the Bloody Lich had been capable of doing that, he would’ve advanced beyond level 50. Considering how knowledgeable and capable a lich could be, he could’ve killed all of them without moving at all.
The Bloody Lich was floating in the sky, and spoke in a mocking voice. “You might have survived earlier, but you must die now. Although I don’t like undead creatures or their stupid strategy in battles, it’s not a bad choice to transform you into undead creatures.
“That human being over there, I know you have the Book of Death. If you surrender the Book of Death, I will let you walk away alive. As for the others, you’re not as lucky. You must die here and become my slaves…”
As the Bloody Lich talked, Lin Yun put on a grim expression. He examined the environment with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array, and discovered something quite unusual.
“We’re trapped in this place. He took advantage of Sir Alonzo.” Lin Yun opened his mouth, and everybody’s expression changed. Agalon’s expression was quite solemn, and there seemed to be countless stars spinning in his eyes. He instantly vanished with a solemn expression.
Alonzo, who had been angry in the first place, became even angrier.
He had turned this area in the radius of a dozen kilometers into a meadow, and swallowed all the aura of death in the area, turning the place unusual. However, the Bloody Lich seized the opportunity to establish a barrier and trap everybody here.
Alonzo chanted a spell in a low voice. As he chanted, something was activated under the ground. From the roots of the green grass, grayness quickly erupted to the top. The entire meadow almost turned into ashes instantly. The strange plant that had a green skull was obliterated too.
The ground had turned into an ocean of countless skeletons. All the broken bones and skeletons filled up the earth. It was as if they had suddenly fallen into the Sea of Bones in the Plane of the Undead.
The sky turned gray, and so did the horizon. There were countless bones in every direction.
“The skeleton battlefield. Stupid undead creature, you think you can kill all of us by yourself?”
Alonzo put on an awful expression, not just because the Bloody Lich made use of him, but because the Bloody Lich was too arrogant.
The skeleton battlefield was a special space in the Plane of the Undead that was made by sacrificing countless undead creatures. It was usually made by undead overlords.
Only a few undead overlords would build such a thing. It was meant for other undead creatures to challenge them.
Anyone who wanted to challenge the undead overlord could enter such a battlefield. The battlefield would disappear as long as the undead overlord was killed in the end.
There was only one way for the undead overlord to leave, which was to kill everything inside the battlefield.
There were no other rules. It would be fine even if 10,000 undead creatures came in together and attacked the undead overlord at the same time, as long as they could take him down.
The rule didn’t seem to be in favor of undead overlords, but many undead overlords still did that. They had awakened their wisdom after advancing into the Heaven Rank anyway.
The easiest way of the undead creatures’ advancement was to swallow soul fires. The stronger they were, the less beneficial it would be for them to swallow lower-level soul fires. To acquire better soul fires, undead overlords could only start wars, but they might not be able to get advanced soul fires even from wars.
The skeleton battlefield was the place where undead overlords reaped soul fires.. It gave their subordinates a chance to rise too.
