End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1139
Chapter 1139: Abyssal Devil King (3)
The Abyssal Devil King’s body became riddled with scars in a few seconds. His lava-like blood kept spurting out, and the rich sulfuric smell and hot aura frantically rose up, making the space around him distort.
Enderfa and Syudos released their strongest attacks as soon as they got close to pressure the Abyssal Devil King while Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and rapidly chanted an incantation.
Four Element Bombs condensed one after another and fell on the Abyssal Devil King like rain.
Burning spheres of light kept exploding, covering the Abyssal Devil King and damaging his body.
After releasing a wave of Four Element Bombs, Lin Yun chanted another incantation, and law runes started floating out. The huge number of law runes seemed like ordinary runes, and they formed a huge runic framework according to the runic structure.
There was only a structure, though. They were neither combined successfully nor transformed. It was only a framework, and the wisp of power it brought exceeded the power of the law runes that Lin Yun could control at the moment.
A pitch-black spatial crack suddenly appeared. These law runes successfully transformed into a huge, pitch-black Wind Blade. The space was already being torn by that formidable power before the spell was even condensed.
Underneath, the Abyssal Devil King was being suppressed by the elemental storm and the flame storm. And with the addition of the explosive barrage of Four Element Bombs, his huge body could no longer be seen. Only loud roars of anger and pain kept echoing from the explosions.
“Stupid mortal! You’ll pay the price! You think you can destroy an Abyssal Devil King with those puny spells? You are too naive. I’ll carefully play with your soul…”
Gallsworth was watching in shock as the Abyssal Devil King’s furious words echoed.
He wasn’t dumbfounded because of the Abyssal Devil King’s vitality… Rather, it was because of Lin Yun’s burst power and the pitch-black Wind Blade made of law runes. It gave his soul a feeling of crisis. His body wanted to hide almost instinctively.
‘Damnit, this is Mafa Merlin’s true strength?
‘What is that Wind Blade? The spell hasn’t fully condensed, yet it can already tear through space.
‘Mafa Merlin isn’t a Heaven Rank powerhouse, so how could he release an Extraordinary Spell? How could that spell be so powerful without the support of Extraordinary Power? That spell is definitely a first-class spell among 9th Tier Spells.’
Gallsworth still had that feeling of crisis. His soul was giving him a warning and wanted him to flee. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be able to leave that place alive, even if the spell’s target was the Abyssal Devil King.
Gallsworth forcibly circulated a bit of aura and then frantically rushed out with cold sweat trickling down his back. He looked back, and that seemingly not too big Wind Blade was already falling down.
The Wind Blade wasn’t especially fast, but a long and narrow spatial crack was continuously forming along its path. The chaotic power seemed to move aside and form a path for the Wind Blade.
It took two seconds for the Wind Blade to fall on the head of the Abyssal Devil King. The feeling of danger made the Abyssal Devil King burst out with all his power. His two halberds were crossed in front of him, but a sharp sound echoed as the Abyssal Grinding Iron, known as the hardest material in the Abyss, suddenly collapsed.
The pitch-black Wind Blade cleanly cut through the Abyssal Devil King’s neck, and the boiling green blood sprayed out like fiery lava. Everything in the surroundings started to burn from corrosion.
The Abyssal Devil King’s thick skin couldn’t prevent the Wind Blade from cutting his neck.
Cries of pain and despair echoed as the huge head fell from the Abyssal Devil King’s neck, leaving a hundred-meter-tall fountain of green blood behind.
Even if he was beheaded, the Abyssal Devil King’s eyes still carried that angry radiance, and angry and painful roars were still echoing.
Lin Yun calmly floated down. He wasn’t surprised that the Abyssal Devil King was still alive after his head had been cut off.
He took out a pile of materials and rapidly compounded a blood-colored potion, which he directly threw onto the Abyssal Devil King’s lava pond.
Immediately, that green pond of boiling lava slowly turned red and gradually cooled down before freezing into gray stone.
At this time, the Abyssal Devil King was shocked to his core.
“Stupid human, you’ll regret it! Abyssal Devil Kings never die. You’ll pay a heavy price for your actions. Just wait, I’ll soon return to retaliate, I’ll make you suffer!”
Lin Yun sneered.
“Idiot, you are a hybrid b*stard rejected by both the Abyss and Hell. Weren’t you able to become one of the ten Golden Demon Races due to your formidable vitality? You can’t die, and even if you do, you’ll keep reviving.
“If not because of this, the other Demon Races wouldn’t feel like bothering trash like you. How could you become one of the ten Golden Bloodlines then?
“What a joke, I’ll dig your 2nd heart out after freezing your brain. Immortal Abyssal Devil King? What a huge joke…”
Lin Yun sneered and cast two Mana Hands to take out a solid gray stone from the Abyssal Devil King’s frozen head. At this time, the Abyssal Devil King panicked, but his brain had already been moved out of his body. The flames burning in his eyes finally extinguished, apparently dead.
Suddenly, Lin Yun let out a Bursting Flames spell ten meters away, creating a hole where they struck. Inside, a grey heart was forced out by the explosion.
The heart was fist-sized, and rich abyssal mana surrounded it. As it throbbed, the abyssal power kept entering and exiting the heart.
After capturing this struggling heart, Lin Yun smiled.
Abyssal Devil Kings had been a synonym for trouble and terror for a very long time. These guys’ love for souls was completely inherited from the Devils of Hell.
Their terrifying vitality made it so that they could survive decapitation, forcing the Demons of the Abyss to compromise.
This was because every time they attacked these guys with tenacious vitality, even if they occasionally got rid of an Abyssal Devil King, and even if their bodies were torn apart, they would inexplicably revive after some time and retaliate crazily.
They would get rid of many opponents each time they died. And after a few times, they would drag at least one or two Demons of the same rank down as sacrifices.
Slowly, the rumors of the immortal Abyssal Devil Kings spread through the Abyss, as well as the fact that they liked to devour their opponents’ souls after making them suffer hundreds of years of torture.
Terror and trouble became synonymous with Abyssal Devil Kings. Even the Golden Demon Races were forced to recognize the Abyssal Devil King’s status.
This continued up until a few millennia later, when powerful mages from Noscent finally stretched their evil hands towards the Abyss. Unkillable monsters like the Abyssal Devil Kings were naturally the first lifeforms to be studied.
Even mages that surpassed the Heaven Rank ignited God Fire and personally captured Heaven Rank Abyssal Devil Kings to experiment until they finally figured out the source of their immortality.
Abyssal Devil Kings didn’t have the iconic demonic horns of Demons, and the lava-like head wasn’t their weak point. Chopping up the head was no different from just injuring a hand.
Just like Hell’s Devils, their weak point was the heart. But it wasn’t their regular heart, either. Rather, it was the fist-sized 2nd heart roaming within the body of the Abyssal Devil Kings. This was their fatal weak point and the source of their mana.
After being killed, their 2nd heart would quietly escape, and once it absorbed enough mana, the Abyssal Devil King would revive once more.
After getting a hold of the Abyssal Devil King’s second heart, Lin Yun immediately thought of a dozen ways of using it. That heart was a powerful mana source and could continuously produce mana. It could even extract mana from Hell and the Abyss.
As for the Abyssal Devil King’s frozen lava head, it was the best material for a Volcano Potion. After refining the potion, it would have formidable effects on a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Within five to ten minutes, it could allow the user’s mana to burst out, increasing their strength by a rank.
The Abyssal Devil King’s Blood was the best material for inscribing Lava Scrolls. It was perfect for Heaven Rank Lava Scrolls.
The fat extracted from his oversized body could compare to the fat extracted from the Manatee of the Endless Sea. If used to feed a flame, just a drop would let it last over ten thousand years.
Not only could it be used as a stable fire source, but it could even be used as strong fuel once it was processed with some potions. The short burst power wouldn’t compare to Syudos’ weaker flames, but if there was enough fuel, it could compare to Syudos’ power for a very short period of time.
Lin Yun began frantically gathering the Abyssal Devil King’s materials. Not far from there, Lin Yun’s subordinates had already killed off the army. Before the puppets even arrived, Xiuban, Reina, and the mage army had already arrived and gotten rid of those Beastmen that had transformed into Demons.
Gallsworth stood there foolishly, a dull expression on his face. He definitely hadn’t expected that a formidable Abyssal Devil King, a member of the ten Golden Bloodlines of the Abyss, would unexpectedly be killed that easily.
Even his corpse was dissected and harvested like a magic beast.
After Lin Yun was done gathering the usable materials, Syudos threw the remains into the Book of Mantras to be used as fuel for his flames.
After tidying up the battlefield, Lin Yun turned towards Gallsworth, who had yet to recover his strength.
“Sir Gallsworth, since things are like this already now, won’t the secrets you keep guarding be revealed sooner or later? If this continues, the Raging Flame Plane will be thoroughly destroyed.”
Gallsworth had a complicated expression as he looked at Lin Yun.
He then sighed and said, “Sir Merlin, thank you for saving me. If not for you, my soul would have been unable to return to the earth after my death.
“You are right, I already understood after returning that the Raging Flame Plane was completely different. If we want to save the Raging Flame Plane from its fate, we have to cooperate.”
Lin Yun didn’t speak and just calmly listened. He only knew a rough outline of the Raging Flame Plane’s fate, but he wasn’t completely clear about the process.
And the Gold Beastmen were the ones with the best understanding of the Raging Flame Plane’s secrets. They definitely had the most information.
“That Ancient God sleeping under the Holy Mountain has already awakened… No, it would be better to say that he has half-awakened. His God Soul was the first to awaken, but his powerful body is still slumbering.
“His God Soul is attached to the Holy Mountain, and the Holy Mountain worshipped by all Beastmen is already under the control of the God Soul.
“And from there, he started controlling the entire Raging Flame Plane. The magic beasts already lost control and fell under the control of the God Soul. All magic beasts turned into Demons and other filthy Abyssal lifeforms.
“A large number of Abyssal Gates were opened by the God Soul. We simply don’t know how many Demons and other creatures entered the Raging Flame Plane.
“By looking at the black smoke covering the sky, we can only know that there are too many to count.
“The entire Raging Flame Plane has become a battlefield. No one knows where the Abyssal Demons might appear, and no one knows when a tamed magic beast might suddenly transform into a crazy Demon.
“We are all rushing to the Holy Mountain to prepare a counterattack and take back the Holy Mountain. But just as the Abyssal Overlords appeared, we already discovered close to twenty of them. And this was the first of the ten Golden Bloodlines.
“If not for Sir Merlin, I would have already died, and my soul would have been unable to rest…”
Lin Yun frowned, his mind filled with doubts.
‘What the hell is that 73rd God? How could a God birthed by Noscent have such a deep connection to the Abyss…
‘Not to mention all the Demons summoned, he even has the ability to transform magic beasts into Demons. That’s something only Greater Abyssal Overlords could accomplish.
‘It could be said that the Holy Mountain is the core source of the Raging Flame Plane… It’s the pillar supporting the entire plane.
‘Unexpectedly, the God Soul awakened first and is directly attached to the Holy Mountain. This might be even more troublesome than an Ancient God directly awakening.’
