End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1081
Chapter 1081: Instant Kill
Dylas kept on chattering endlessly, acting like he was willing to set aside their previous enmity. Hearing this, Lin Yun felt that this was quite laughable. He lightly shook his head before looking at the distant alchemical device. The shadow was already dissipating, as was the bloody mist, but Bloss’ aura was getting stronger and stronger.
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Dylas as if he was looking at a clown. “Dylas, if I were you, I would stop talking nonsense over there and back up…”
These words made Dylas explode. He sneered and coldly looked at Lin Yun.
“Mafa Merlin, you stupid guy, you actually dare to make me back up? Are you planning on attacking me? You dare?
“I changed my mind! Today is your last opportunity! I still remember everything you did to humiliate me before.
“You’ll sign a soul contract with me and you’ll become an Undead even after your death, continuing to serve me to repay me for the disgraces.
“If you serve me willingly and let me see your loyalty, I may give you the chance to complete your Extraordinary transformation.
“Otherwise, you’ll pay a disastrous price today, a price you definitely didn’t expect!
“And you won’t be the only one! I’ll even conquer your Andlusa Kingdom and throw all the Andlusans out of the Raging Flame Plane…”
Dylas angrily spewed out threats, his arrogance hardly concealed. But he’d hardly said half of what he wanted to say when a painful roar echoed from the alchemical device.
The deep roar sounded like a giant creature was awakening.
The shadow covering the alchemical device suddenly dissipated as if it had been forcibly torn apart.
The diffused bloody mist also frantically collapsed towards the center before ultimately transforming into a layer of light enveloping Bloss’ body.
Bloss was kneeling on the ground, his body curled into a ball as he roared in pain. The mana in his surroundings instantly became berserk and chaotic.
Then, the mana flowing into Bloss’ body started flowing back out. The mana kept leaking out as if his body was a bottle with a hole at the bottom.
Then, the expelled mana started flowing back into his body and was devoured by the layer of bloody light covering his body. Blood spurted out, but just like mana, that blood flew back into Bloss’ body.
That sudden change startled everyone.
Dylas could no longer arrogantly threaten Lin Yun, and he promptly rushed to the alchemical device.
“Bloss, what’s going on? Damn, what the hell is happening? Just say it, what is it?” Dylas roared as he charged towards the alchemical device.
Something suddenly swelled up on Bloss’ back and tore his magic robe apart. Vertebrae poked out of his body one after another.
His body also seemed to be swelling up as it started frantically expanding. In less than a second, his body had swelled up by a dozen times.
Blood-colored needle-sized hair grew out from the surface of his body, and bloody bony outgrowths came out of his joints.
“Roar!”
A roar echoed as the monster that Bloss turned into raised its head. Thin fur was growing all over its face, but Bloss’ original appearance could still faintly be discerned.
Four rune-covered bloody tusks grew over its lips and crisscrossed, just like a Beastman’s tusks.
Its eyes had turned pure blood-red, and no whites or pupils could be seen. It looked like a blood-colored flame was burning within, filled with traces of madness and slaughter.
Everyone was shocked as Bloss stood up.
Its huge twenty-meter-tall body crushed the alchemical device into pieces. It looked like a werewolf with those huge, sharp claws. A big part of its face still had Bloss’ appearance, but it also had the Beastmen’s iconic tusks.
It had blood-colored fur all over its body just like a beast.
It completely looked like a half-human half-beast monster, and the most frightening part was the aura of a Heaven Rank that it was emitting!
A layer of bloody mist lingered around its body and was emitting an even thicker aura of Extraordinary Power. This was something it was doing instinctively.
Bloss had suddenly turned into a monster, and a Heaven Rank monster, at that. Dylas was completely stunned, but he still subconsciously shouted at the monster when he saw the pile of crushed components. “Bloss! You damned b*stard, you destroyed the alchemical device!
It looked like the monster suddenly sensed something, and it turned to look at Dylas, its blood-colored eyes flickering with a frantic light. It slightly bent its body before its mountain-like body charged towards Dylas.
Its long arms dragging on the ground suddenly clawed at Dylas, blowing away the air in front of it.
A white gust with minute sparks of electricity appeared. The monster’s claws forcibly pierced through all obstructions and arrived before Dylas.
Dylas could feel a terrifying feeling of crisis engulfing his entire body, feel it through his pores. ‘Something’s wrong, the transformation failed…’
The Dark Night Cloak instantly appeared in front of him as a Mana Shield and a Runic Shield appeared together, just before being slapped by the monster.
His Mana Shield popped like a bubble on contact, while the Runic Shield’s layers of runes seemed to be continuously peeling off.
The monster’s claws were covered in a bloody light and were like sinister knives that were peeling aside layers upon layers of runes.
Dylas’ Runic Shield quickly burst open, and ultimately, the monster’s claws fiercely hit the Dark Night Cloak.
Black rays of light collided with the blood-colored light, but just as the lights touched, the Dark Night Cloak coiled around Dylas and instantly flashed.
Over twenty meters away, a flash of black light could be seen as Dylas and the Dark Night Cloak appeared once again. But the Dark Night Cloak’s black halo suddenly disappeared.
A fifty-centimeter-long tear could be seen on the black cloak, and many of the runes were torn apart.
Dylas grasped the Dark Night Cloak with regret. That tear might reduce the Magic Tool’s power by 50%. And that was because the Dark Night Cloak was a special Magic Tool. Had it been any other Magic Tool, it would have already been destroyed.
Recalling the method to repair the Dark Night Cloak made Dylas’ heart bleed.
And that thought only flashed for a moment before Dylas fearfully looked at the bloody monster not far away.
‘Damn, such a powerful monster. I would have already been torn apart without the Dark Night Cloak’s ability…
‘Sh*t, what’s going on? He clearly advanced to the Heaven Rank, so how come he suddenly transformed into a crazy monster?’
Dylas didn’t dare to think too much and buffed himself with Shadow Conceal to reduce his mana fluctuations to the minimum and merge with the shadows.
He rapidly retreated and turned to look at the monster. The monster’s claws were wildly destroying everything it saw.
Two mages of the Shadow Tower that didn’t have time to react were swatted by the monster’s claws, and their bodies were instantly covered in a layer of bloody light. After the bloody light dissipated, their bodies withered and fell to the ground.
“Damn, what’s going on? Sir Dylas, what are you doing?”
Shock and anger came from the chaotic crowd. The group of people who had still been lamenting that the Shadow Tower was about to get one more Heaven Rank suddenly acted like debtors encountering their loan sharks.
The strongest mage there was only a 9th Rank Archmage, and most of them weren’t even at the 9th Rank.
They were merely a hundred meters away from that Heaven Rank monster and couldn’t avoid that disaster.
A hundred meters was nothing more than a few steps to that twenty-meter-tall monster. Moreover, that monster’s speed was as terrifying as a Heaven Sword Saint’s. It took less than a second to tear apart two mages a hundred meters away.
The group of mages flew backward in alarm as the disaster suddenly broke out. Fierce mana fluctuations burst out from the originally calm group of mages.
Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, Runic Shield, every single Archmage cast these three defensive spells instinctively.
Especially the Runic Shield… This was an Archmage’s final line of defense, and it couldn’t be recast after it was broken through.
Apart from those three defensive shields, everyone added the other defensive spells they were proficient in, like Fire Shield, Ice Shield, or Earth Shield…
But these protective shields simply couldn’t resist the power of that monster.
The surface of the half-man half-beast monster’s body was covered in a layer of Extraordinary Power in the form of bloody light. That layer of light was synergizing with the monster’s power, and it tore through these mages’ defensive shields as if they were just sheets of paper.
In less than three seconds, three mages of the Shadow Tower had been torn apart. The mages of the Burning Tower were also standing at the forefront and three of them were torn apart, their bodies transforming into withered corpses.
The alchemists that had researched the alchemical device were especially vulnerable, as they were only 8th Rank Archmages. Dedale wouldn’t have brought them to the Raging Flame Battlefield if not for their expertise in the field of alchemy.
They were the weakest among the people standing at the forefront and the closest to the alchemical device. When things suddenly went wrong, the three alchemists didn’t have the power to resist and were killed instantly.
