End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1144
Chapter 1144: Incarnation
Lin Yun’s eyes seemed unfocused as he stared in the direction of the Holy Mountain. Countless law runes were frantically roaming in the depths of his eyes, and he simply didn’t hear anyone in his surroundings.
To the side, Morgan was casually rolling his eyes, the corners of his mouth rising into a grin. He swept a glance at those Beastmen, as well as the trio of Heaven Mages, and couldn’t help feeling a bit of sympathy.
‘These idiots… I’ve known Sir Merlin for a long time, and I’ve never seen him afraid of anything.
‘Moreover, Sir Merlin’s strongest characteristic isn’t his battle strength, but his other skills, like his alchemy skill, his profound knowledge, and his sharp insight akin to divination magic.
‘Sir Merlin took the initiative to raise a shield because there are definitely some great dangers here.
‘Moreover, my Darkness Elemental God doesn’t know what fear is, yet he became well-behaved.
‘Based on the feeling that the Darkness Elemental God is transmitting, there is some powerful, undefeatable existence nearby. Without proper preparations, we could die…
‘These idiots will pay a disastrous price for daring to laugh at Sir Merlin. Didn’t they notice that the Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouses, Clombton and Cross, remained silent? They seemed to have discovered something, just like Sir Merlin.
‘Ha, does that idiotic Bronze Beastman think that his defense is unequalled after entering the Heaven realm? I’ve seen an idiotic Heaven Rank Bronze Beastman burn to ashes already.
‘If you still dare to remain arrogant here, you’ll just end up paying a disastrous price, and if you are unlucky, you’ll really die.
Morgan moved back a bit without being noticed. As for Steer, he had already walked a few hundred meters, loudly mocking the human mages as he walked.
But suddenly, Clombton and Cross simultaneously burst with large amounts of mana and Aura. Their powerful aura was like a tidal wave.
The ground in front of the group became as soft as water, and a mud fountain appeared before their eyes. The mud kept surging from underground as a Beastman that seemed to be three meters tall floated out of the ground.
The Beastman’s skin had red and brown interwoven. There weren’t any magic patterns on his body either. Apart from the Beastmen’s iconic tusks, he didn’t have any of the race’s characteristics.
His eyes were peculiar, as they were unfocused. His body was also not emitting a powerful aura. He seemed ordinary, just as ordinary as a stone on the wayside. If they hadn’t seen him with their own eyes, no one would have noticed that a Beastman had appeared here.
Steer had turned around to ridicule Lin Yun and hadn’t noticed this ordinary yet strange Beastman suddenly appear.
After that monstrous Beastman appeared, it looked at everyone with unfocused eyes. Within those expressionless eyes, evil intent, malice, coldness, cruelty, and countless negative emotions surged just like a mind storm attack.
Steer, the closest target, was hit by the storm of negative emotions, and blood started leaking out of his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth. His body was sent flying like a dead leaf.
In the air, Steer let out a frantic scream, his expression distorting beyond recognition.
Mournful screams echoed like he was continuously suffering a terrifying punishment.
Steer flew out and the others didn’t have time to save him. The pure storm of negative thoughts could definitely compare to a powerful mind spell released by a proficient mind mage.
Cross stood still, holding his greatsword in front of him with both hands. The surface of his body was covered in a pale golden Aura that rapidly condensed into armor that wrapped around him.
When the storm of negative emotions attacked, the numerous magic patterns on Cross’ body surfaced. These magic patterns seemed alive, and very small shadows of Beastmen floated around his body. Those invisible negative emotions turned into black shadows that fought against the Beastman shadows.
At the same time, Clombton opened his mouth and spat out two holy light runes. The runes filled with gentle radiance exploded in front of him and instantly turned into a milky white Mind Shield that enveloped him.
These negative emotions attacked Clombton’s Mind Shield, resulting in a series of sharp grinding sounds. A sound wave spread out and crushed the rocks around Clombton into fine dust.
But Clombton and Cross were the only ones having an easy time.
Lin Yun, Morgan, Raphael, Butler, and Dedale had already released their Fusion Shields. This was a Heaven Mage’s life-saving defensive method. It could be rated as an omnipotent shield.
Facing the negative emotions, although it wasn’t as focused as a Mind Shield, its defensive abilities were even stronger.
Lin Yun, Morgan, Raphael, Dedale, and Butler had all raised their shields. As they were drawn into the negative emotion storm, the runes on the surface of their shields kept shuddering. They were like balls floating on a wave, continuously being moved backward without suffering a single injury.
But Dubois and the others who had stopped to mock Lin Yun ended up in a tragic situation alongside the Beastmen.
The storm of pure negative emotions was even more troublesome than a mind spell. Apart from having a solid defense against it, there was no method to rapidly overcome it.
If they didn’t defend ahead of time, their minds and souls would fall into an extremely frightening execution ground and suffer a horrifying punishment, suffer excruciating torture.
Moreover, under this kind of impact, the sensations of their minds and souls would be infinitely amplified, while the passage of time would feel as if it was slowed down to a crawl.
An impact lasting a second would feel like a year of torture and punishments.
All those Heaven Rank powerhouses were screaming like kids under the torture. They flew into the sky and let howls of despair.
Even if the impact lasted less than two seconds before they released their strongest defenses, that time was more than enough.
Apart from releasing their strongest defenses, they couldn’t even control their bodies. They could only instinctively fly out of the storm, trying to escape.
The hair-raising screams continued, and they didn’t stop even though they already raised their defenses.
After resisting the first wave, Lin Yun stabilized himself on the ground, and the few that had followed his lead also held fast.
Lin Yun frowned as he looked at the ordinary Beastman with unfocused eyes, and a trace of understanding then flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.
The Raging Flame Plane’s Holy Mountain was sacred land to the Beastmen. It had been worshipped for countless years, and the Raging Flame Beastmen’s most powerful worshipped Ancestor Souls were in this Holy Mountain.
Moreover, this was the place closest to the core of the Raging Flame Plane, a place where the Holy Mountain had already gained awareness.
An existence that was worshipped by all Raging Flame Beastmen and could mobilize the Raging Flame Plane’s power… Usually, a Heaven Rank powerhouse would only survive three seconds, even if they were extremely powerful.
And since the Ancient God had already started devouring the Raging Flame Plane, that formidable power and the Holy Mountain inevitably fell under his control.
When they stepped on the Holy Mountain, they hadn’t seen a Demon, and the surroundings were deathly calm.
But the 73rd God definitely wouldn’t let anyone smoothly enter the Holy Mountain. There was no need to think about what they would encounter; it would definitely be the Holy Mountain’s Incarnation!
The Holy Mountain Incarnation, even if its power had been weakened, was still more powerful than anyone here, including Cross and Crompton!
Unfortunately, after it appeared, it couldn’t suppress the negative emotions from taking shape.
Although that storm was powerful, it was too weak compared to the Holy Mountain Incarnation’s actual power. Because the Beastmen weren’t proficient in mind magic, the Holy Mountain Incarnation similarly wasn’t proficient in mind magic. This was just its negative emotions leaking out.
The most miserable Steer fell to the ground, his face covered in blood. His soul had been attacked by the huge impact of negative emotions, and it had lasted at least seven seconds.
But his mind and soul had perceived these seven seconds as seven years.
The suffering was painful, but the torture didn’t reach the point where an Extraordinary lifeform’s soul would collapse.
Morgan landed next to Lin Yun and glanced at the people that survived around him. A regretful expression could be seen on his face as he saw that Steer hadn’t been eliminated.
‘I knew there must have been some danger. No wonder my Darkness Elemental God became so docile. That guy’s negative emotions are far greater than my Darkness Elemental God’s.
‘Unfortunately, it only made those ridiculing idiots suffer and didn’t get rid of that arrogant Bronze Beastman.
‘Damn, what kind of monster is this newly appearing Beastman…’
After releasing a thick wave of negative emotions and leaving the group battered and exhausted, those unfocused eyes were still filled with negative emotions.
A terrifying aura blossomed, and it felt like a huge mountain rose in front of them and pressured them. It seemed that the entire Holy Mountain was completely hostile.
The elements in the air, the earth under their feet, the space… Everything rejected their existence.
That seemingly ordinary Beastman’s face was completely sinister, and magic patterns rapidly covered the entire surface of his body. Forehead, cheeks… everything was covered in those tattoo-like magic patterns.
Buzzing sounds softly echoed as the light around the Holy Mountain’s Beastman Incarnation started distorting, as if heavy gravity was pulling around him.
The heavy gravity made the surrounding elements and air keep submerging underground. The air density changed sharply, becoming at least a dozen times higher.
The air distortion also distorted the light around the Holy Mountain Incarnation, and the strands of light felt like they were tangible.
The earth below bore a terrifying gravity that rapidly made the ground cave in, and the range of that gravity was frantically expanding.
It expanded until it reached 300 meters before it no longer had an effect on the surroundings.
“Damn, those are our Bronze Beastmen’s magic patterns! He can actually use the Extraordinary Power Domain! Sh*t, the center must have at least 30 times the gravity… No, 40 times…
“It’s over, we can’t defeat him, we can’t even touch his body! That’s the Bronze Beastmen’s strongest defensive ability!”
Steer screamed in horror, fear visible on his face. No one understood the Bronze Beastmen better than him. Only a few Bronze Beastmen could create gravity after advancing to the Heaven Rank.
The closer to their body, the stronger the gravity. The gravity was the embodiment of the law power within their bloodline and could affect all elements and matter.
All spells and attacks would be torn apart and pressured towards the ground by the heavy gravity when approaching their bodies. Even explosive spells would be restricted by the immense gravity, reducing their power.
With the Bronze Beastmen’s defensive power, no powerhouse of the same rank could get rid of them. Even if they could defeat them, it would be like a tiger facing a tortoise withdrawing into its solid shell. They simply couldn’t get rid of the Bronze Beastmen.
Steer screeched in despair. The fluctuations on his body slowly calmed down, as if his fighting spirit had disappeared.
Cross still looked perfectly calm as he sent a slap over. A huge aura palm landed on Steer’s body and sent him flying.
“Fool, if you shout again, I’ll get rid of you first!”
Steer crawled out from the ground, his layer of Bronze Aura Armor covered in cracks. The defense he was so proud of was no different from a piece of paper in front of Cross. If Cross had put in a bit more force, Steer would have been crushed.
After the slap, Steer quieted down and didn’t dare to say anything. He had just expressed demoralizing thoughts before a battle, and he had only survived because Cross had been merciful.
Steer closed his mouth and didn’t dare to say anything, but as he glanced at Lin Yun, the anger in his heart rose.
‘Sh*t, that stupid Mafa Merlin actually dares to ridicule me? F*ck, what does that look mean, do you think I’m making a fuss about nothing?
‘Do you think our Bronze Tribe is not very amazing because you used a trick to murder our tribe’s valiant warrior?
‘Stupid guy, just you wait. Since the Holy Mountain Incarnation has the Bronze Beastmen’s abilities, then it’ll be able to show our abilities to all of you fools! It’s best if the Holy Mountain Incarnation gets rid of you!’
