End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1048

Chapter 1048: Gravity

Shaq stood on the ground and laughed. His brown aura kept fluctuating around his body, and the huge power created terrifying gravity that flattened the earth within ten meters of him. The earth slowly sank, and the soil density kept on increasing.

Lin Yun frowned and raised his hand to release a Four-Element Bomb.

It took him less than a second to condense a Four-Element Bomb, which instantly tore through the air to fall onto Shaq. But it also sharply sank towards the ground when it appeared within ten meters of Shaq, and its flight speed also sharply decreased.

The Four-Element Bomb fell to the ground upon entering the gravity field, and the explosion’s shockwave and destructive power seemed to suffer from some invisible restrictions as they weren’t able to show their full might.

The greatest power from the Four-Element Bomb was the impact caused by its terrifying bursting speed. Now that the speed had sharply declined, so too had the destructive power.

The power of that kind of shockwave merely made Shaq’s Battle Aura Armor flicker with light. It didn’t leave any damage behind.

Shaq held his greatsword and patted his Battle Armor as he laughed heartily. “Stupid human, you think I don’t know that your despicable race loves to mount sneak attacks? I’m no longer the same as when I had yet to advance to the Heaven Rank.

“As Bronze Beastmen, our defensive power is the strongest out of all Raging Flame Beastmen thanks to the blessings of the earth. Those foolish Gold Beastmen can’t compare to us.

“I’ve advanced to the Heaven Rank now, and a puny mage like you would be dreaming if you think you can injure me.

“I already obtained the blessings of the Beast God, so the Raging Flame Battlefield’s restriction towards Extraordinary Power no longer shackles me. Now, it’s your turn to pay the price.

“Stupid human, tell me the whereabouts of Sky City’s despicable scoundrels, and I can let you die straightforwardly. I’ll let your soul rest.

“Otherwise, I’ll slowly break your bones and make you slowly sink into the depths of the earth until you suffocate to death, making your soul unable to rest!”

After saying that, Shaq proudly laughed his head off, and a clear wisp of Extraordinary Power appeared on his body. The pressure of that power raised Shaq’s strength by one Rank.

In an instant, Shaq’s Battle Aura Armor started fiercely changing. The magic patterns on the surface of his body leapt out and appeared on the surface of the armor.

Magic patterns similar to rocks were carved on top of the Battle Aura Armor, and the surrounding earth aura became denser and denser. The armor rapidly turned into yellow crystal Battle Armor that covered every corner of Shaq’s body, including his eyes.

The armor was covered in earth magic patterns that made its defense rise to a terrifyingly high level. Lin Yun couldn’t catch Shaq’s aura once he put on that crystal armor; his Magic Array could only detect the aura of the Battle Armor.

The Battle Armor’s aura was closely linked to the earth as if it had already thoroughly merged with it. Lin Yun even felt that he was facing the earth itself. That calm and impenetrable aura could innately make enemies feel despair.

Lin Yun had a solemn expression as he instantly took out the Book of Death.

The shackles of the Book of Death snapped in an instant, and the book automatically flipped itself to the Element Chapter’s page. The elemental power buff not only made the elemental powers surrounding Lin Yun even more active, but it also made the elemental powers keep on gathering.

A huge wheel shadow appeared behind Lin Yun with endless runes roaming inside it. Those boundless runes were apparently bursting within that huge wheel.

The Purple Dragon Incarnation also appeared behind Lin Yun and held that wheel shadow. It was looking down on Shaq with his crystal armor.

Lin Yun slowly landed on the ground, and the earth below his feet started melting. Scalding lava covered Lin Yun, and his body grew up to reach ten meters in an instant as he transformed into a huge Lava Giant.

The lava spread and covered over a hundred meters in less than a second, transforming that area into a world of lava.

Runes came out of his mouth as the lava under his feet formed huge waves that kept dragging Lin Yun’s body forward. The surrounding Lava Pond also kept advancing towards Shaq.

Floating lumps of lava floated out of the lava pond and formed five huge lava vortexes. Endless lava spells flew out of these lava vortexes and pounced on Shaq like five raging serpentine Dragons made of lava.

The speed of those five streams of lava suddenly weakened fifteen meters away from Shaq before they all fell towards the ground.

None of the five dragons of lava hit Shaq. They only exploded at his feet. The huge impact shattered the ground under Shaq, but the fragments all fell to the ground the moment they were sent flying.

Even after those fragments fell back to the ground, it looked as if an invisible power was pushing them down until the earth was rapidly smoothened… It was as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yun slightly frowned as he looked at this scene. He instantly understood that Shaq was using his innate magic pattern and that he walked the path of an Earth Sword Saint.

He had developed the Bronze Beastman’s innately powerful defense to the peak. Moreover, he had combined Extraordinary Power with Battle Aura Armor and went even further by linking his Battle Armor with the earth.

As long as he was standing on the earth, his defensive power would rise to a terrifying degree while also altering the gravity around him, increasing it by a few times.

Furthermore, the closer to Shaq, the greater the gravity. Low Tier Spells wouldn’t be able to reach Shaq due to being torn apart by the gravity.

The gravity was at least ten times stronger within a meter of Shaq!

It was even doubled as far as ten meters away. This was why it looked like the trajectory of spells was suddenly altered when they approached Shaq.

And the closer they approached, the more sharply their trajectory would be altered. When reaching a meter from Shaq, the elemental power and structure of the Low Tier Spells would become unable to resist the tenfold gravity and would be torn apart.

The spells were forced to crash on the ground, but their structures didn’t forcibly collapse. This was due to the fact that Lin Yun’s spells were very neatly cast, making their structures very stable.

“Stupid human, I’m not only a Heaven Rank powerhouse now! I can also use Extraordinary Power and fully display my power.

“You want to fight with me? Just drop dead!”

Shaq laughed wildly. His magic patterns shone, and the earth aura in his surroundings suddenly changed. The waves of lava under Lin Yun’s feet instantly collapsed.

The gravity seemed to have suddenly been amplified, especially around Lin Yun’s body. He felt as if the gravity had increased a few times.

Lin Yun frowned and used a few defensive spells, but to no effect. This wasn’t a Gravity spell, it was pure earthen aura.

It was as if the earth’s gravity had originally been like that. It couldn’t be removed, so he could only passively resist it.

Shaq sneered and rushed towards Lin Yun. Each step he took made the earth shake as if a mountain-sized monster was taking those steps.

Once Shaq arrived within a hundred meters of Lin Yun, the lava pond created by the Lava Incarnation seemed to have met its nemesis. The large amount of lava solidified due to the earth aura and the increased gravity, and not a single drop of lava could be seen within ten meters of Shaq.

Shaq swung his greatsword when he was thirty meters away from Lin Yun, and the aura covering the greatsword sharply increased, making it seem ten meters long.

And that giant brown greatsword slammed down towards Lin Yun like a weapon wielded by a giant.

It ruthlessly smashed towards Lin Yun’s head, and the gravity in the surroundings instantly increased by a few times. Lin Yun only felt cracking sounds echoing from his bones, while the Book of Death and the Draconic Staff felt like they weighed a ton. He wouldn’t be able to hold on for long… especially since that gravity didn’t come from a Gravity spell but from the pure condensation of earth aura. It was as if the earth’s own gravity was pulling Lin Yun’s body down. Not just his bones, but his organs and blood were also pulled towards the ground.

The blood coming out of his heart after a heartbeat seemed to be unable to flow due to the gravity, and the blood in his entire body seemed to converge into his lower limbs due to the gravity. He also felt dizzy due to blood not properly supplying his brain.

Lin Yun unhesitantly used Lava Flash, appearing several dozen meters away in an instant.

He felt his mind recovering after separating himself from that suppressing gravity. He could already adapt to two or three times the gravity.

Shaq’s huge sword slashed heavily at Lin Yun’s lava pond. The lava within several dozen meters stopped boiling because of that huge gravity, and the flow stopped.

The earth within a hundred meters shook as the sword landed. This was followed by a burst of earth aura and the lava all around being forcibly congealed. A hundred meters of the ground seemed to have caved in because of the sword skill and the burst of increased gravity.

The earth was flattened because of that huge gravity, becoming incomparably smooth, as if the earth was unable to support itself.

A solemn expression flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
