End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1111

Chapter 1111: Pressure

The four Law Rune-covered Four Element Bombs instantly condensed in the mouths of the Barbarian Oxen and exploded on contact.

The violent power exploding in such a narrow space concentrated their power to make it stronger. Half of the four Barbarian Oxen’s heads were destroyed, and their huge bodies were like four small mountains shielding the front of the array.

After completing that step, Lin Yun gravely looked at the several dozens of Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts in the rear.

A dozen ten-meter Destruction Energy Spheres were flying over from a distance, and their berserk power stirred the surrounding elemental power into chaos.

The pressure carried by a dozen Destruction Energy Spheres was no less powerful than a small Extraordinary Spell.

Everyone was very nervous as they faced the Destruction Energy Spheres. No one dared to leave the protective range of the array formation.

A second later, the Destruction Energy Spheres landed on top of those four Barbarian Oxen’s corpses.

The berserk power burst out, and the dozen Destruction Energy Spheres rapidly expanded, transforming into a storm, a storm that devoured everything.

After a few seconds, that terrifying storm of destruction slowly dissipated, and it looked as if a monster had taken a huge bite out of the ground in front of the array formation.

The ground there was missing an eight-meter-deep layer. As for the four corpses of the Barbarian Oxen blocking in front of the array formation like meat shields, they also lost a quarter of their bodies.

Kurumu paled as he looked at the scene before his eyes before suddenly understanding.

‘Heavens, I finally understand why Sir Merlin wanted to stop the few dozen Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts from approaching. He wanted to get rid of those four foolish Barbarian Oxen first.

‘Damn, if not for these four idiots being used as meat shields, our array formation definitely wouldn’t have been able to resist that attack.

‘If a dozen Destruction Energy Spheres directly hit the array, it would take three seconds at most before the entire array formation burst, and we would lose more than half of the group.’

Everyone looked like they had a new lease on life, but Lin Yun became even more serious.

He had shown good control with his plan to defeat the four Barbarian Oxen first in order to use their bodies as meat shields.

They had innate Stoneskin… They didn’t need to cast it as it was always active, so using their corpses as meat shields was very effective.

It was a trick he had thought of on the spot to guard against the Destruction Energy Spheres. During the previous battles, they’d had to grit their teeth and block them from afar because of this.

The better one was able to control Destruction Energy Spheres, the further they could attack. These Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts simply couldn’t control those berserk destructive powers. They could go a kilometer at most before they lost control.

As long as they blocked them a kilometer away, they wouldn’t need to be afraid of not being able to resist the power of the Destruction Energy Spheres.

But because of that 2nd Rank Heaven Beast’s long-distance Extraordinary Spells, the flame boundary that Syudos had painstakingly set up had thoroughly collapsed, allowing these magic beasts to attack from within a kilometer.

He hadn’t expected that a quarter of the Barbarian Oxen’s bodies would be destroyed by one attack.

Losing the layer of Stoneskin, corpses could at most resist another volley of Destruction Energy Spheres before being thoroughly destroyed.

Lin Yun flew at a low altitude and roared, “Focus fire on the magic beasts that just released Destruction Energy Spheres! The others will just dodge and charge in the formation if these guys released another volley.”

After roaring, Lin Yun took the lead in flying out of the defense of the array formation. The Draconic Staff’s Purple Dragon Incarnation could be seen behind him. Barton and Lagulin were also summoned out of the Book of Death.

Lin Yun even used the Element Chapter to summon a Peak Level 39 Flame Elemental Dragon.

He used everything at his disposal regardless of mana consumption, and the buff of the Element Chapter had also been roused to the limits.

The huge wheel shadow was floating behind him, and numerous Law Runes appeared on Lin Yun’s body before forming a Law Runic Shield.

Four Element Bombs kept condensing in front of Lin Yun. That spell was most effective when faced with a huge group of beasts. He sent them all flying out, continuously creating mushroom clouds as the magic beasts at the forefront exploded in bits of flesh and blood.

But that destructive power was extremely limited. There were really too many Beastmen.

Lin Yun kept releasing Four Element Bombs, Gaia’s Hands, and Touch of Frost spells…

A Horned Viper over a hundred meters long raised its head and spurted out black venom that rained down. Then, the ground under its body shook, and a dark, enormous hand emerged from below.

The huge hand that seemed to be made from black stone fiercely grabbed at the Horned Viper’s neck and held it in place. At the same time, a tentacle of frost had spread to the Horned Viper, and a layer of icy blue light had instantly covered its body.

The ice covering the Horned Viper greatly reduced its reaction speed. That delay was enough for the Gaia’s Hands to grab its neck.

The Horned Viper opened its mouth to spray corrosive venom onto the Gaia’s Hands, but a Four Element Bomb exploded in its mouth. After a loud explosion, only fragments of the viper’s head remained.

Lin Yun killed this Horned Viper in just three seconds, but then, the 2nd Rank Heaven Beast’s aura covered the battlefield and greatly suppressed Lin Yun’s strength. He even had to split off a lot of his power to resist that 2nd Rank Heaven Beast’s aura.

The moment the aura of the Heaven Beast appeared, a fireball, a huge rock, and a long Frost Spike simultaneously hit his Law Runic Shield.

The fireball, rock, and Frost Spike exploded, and the force of the impact made the Law Runes covering Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield quiver frantically. It originally was like a transparent sphere wrapped around Lin Yun, but at this moment, it was more like a deformed balloon on the verge of popping.

After flying upside-down for several dozen meters, Lin Yun managed to stabilize himself. He was flushed and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Injuring ten monsters wasn’t as valuable as eliminating one.

These magic beasts were huge, and their hides thick. Injuries, unless they were fatal, would only serve to increase their ferociousness. It wasn’t really worth it.

But getting rid of one could decrease the pressure.

However, he hadn’t expected the magic beasts to be that crazy, and the power of their spells was much stronger than expected. The attack of three Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts almost shattered the Law Runic Shield.

Lin Yun had calculated that with the current power of the Law Runic Shield, it wouldn’t shatter as long as the attack that it received didn’t surpass a 1st Rank Heaven powerhouse’s Extraordinary Spell.

Against these Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, he could resist three Destruction Energy Spheres at once!

If it was just the instinctive casting of these beasts, he would definitely be able to resist five spells simultaneously.

But because of the 2nd Rank Heaven Beast’s aura, he could barely resist three of their instinctive spells, and they almost shattered his Law Runic Shield.

That 2nd Rank Heaven Beast had yet to come. It hadn’t even made another move, yet it had already forced him to use 40% of his power to resist it.

Lin Yun’s expression became more and more unsightly as he made some calculations.

If its aura pressure could do that, then there was only one conclusion: That 2nd Rank Heaven Beast hadn’t been an ordinary inferior magic beast before being transformed into a Pseudo Heaven Rank Magic Beast by the array.

It definitely possessed a powerful bloodline of some sort. Only a magic beast with a powerful bloodline could create so much pressure with just its aura.

That was power from the bloodline, a natural gap. It was just like a Level 40 Dragon facing a Level 40 Pig Beastman. Even if ten Pig Beastmen faced a Dragon of the same rank, they could only be killed. The aura pressure alone would be enough to make the Pig Beastmen unable to display their power.

‘Sh*t, my luck is so great. When summoning inferior magic beasts, that array must have summoned one with a powerful bloodline.

‘After the forced transformation to the Pseudo Heaven Rank, that inferior magic beast must have strengthened its bloodline and then gained wisdom after its transformation!’

Everyone pressured by the aura of the 2nd Rank Heaven Beast could only display a fraction of their power. Lin Yun’s had to split 40% of his power to resist the 2nd Rank Heaven Beast’s aura, so the others naturally had it worse…

The mage army was flying at a low altitude, and their hundred-meter-wide fire cloud had been compressed to fifty meters. The active elemental flames were like drowning fairies withdrawing in low spirits, and the flames were flowing much slower now.

In the cloud of fire, a Flame Giant stretched out half of its body, as if trying to cross into the plane. It was trying its best to crawl out of the fire cloud.

But Five Frost Apes kept attacking and clashing with that Flame Giant, creating a large amount of white steam with each attack and slowing down the speed at which the Flame Giant condensed.
