End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156: Flame Fiend

A large Evil Baboon came from behind the small volcano. That level 26 Evil Baboon was the ruler of the tribe.

That big guy stood up on his hind legs and fiercely beat his chest with his fists as flames revolved around him. In terms of aura, he was the strongest lifeform here.

Then, a few dozen meters away, Lin Yun scratched his long ear and rapidly chanted in Abyssal Language. A small flaming meteor appeared above the Evil Baboon’s head.

It smashed the baboon into the ground with a huge explosion, and then, not waiting to see how effective it was, another flaming meteor landed on the same spot.

A mournful scream echoed, but flaming meteors just kept falling one after another, second after second. After eight meteors had fallen, that sinister baboon was smashed into a pile of viscera, but the legs and arms were still intact. Only the chest and head could no longer be seen.

Having lost their leader, those Evil Baboons started panicking. They wanted to escape, but trying to escape from the cowardly Abyssal Bear Goblins was the same as encouraging them and rousing their spirits.

After ten minutes, every Evil Baboon died after having their bones shattered. It was to the point where those red-eyed bullies smashed the heads of the Evil Baboons to make sure that they were dead, in fear that they would suddenly get up and flee.

After occupying the small volcano and seizing all the Energy Crystals, the group of Abyssal Bear Goblins excitedly went into the Abyssal Magic Iron mine and swung their weapons to extract the ores.

Some of the more powerful Abyssal Bear Goblins actively wanted to gather all of their kind under Lin Yun’s command.

Lin Yun couldn’t help covering his eyes as he looked at the chunks of Abyssal Magic Iron being mined.

‘Damn, I knew that Abyssal Magic Iron was a common mineral in the Abyss, but why is the price still so high and why is there so little circulating in the human world?

‘Those idiots… How is that extracting ore? It’s a pile of slag with half of it just being stone. The energy needed to extract ore from it might be worth half of the value of these ores.

‘Damned fools…’

After personally glancing over, Lin Yun kicked a few Abyssal Bear Goblins. Their mining method was just to beat everything with big sticks to form large chunks of rock.

In less than half a day, four Abyssal Bear Goblins were killed by a cave-in.

Lin Yun sent all the Abyssal Bear Goblins to gather manpower and went into the mine alone before opening his Demiplane to release a group of alchemy puppets.

In this place, Lin Yun didn’t dare to casually get the help of the people within the Demiplane. Whether it was the aura of humans or other races, it was different from the Abyss’ aura. If their aura appeared now, it would be the same as a big piece of fat falling into the hands of a bunch of greedy Goblins.

He didn’t even dare to casually take out the puppets. This layer was similar to Noscent. The structure, the layout, and even the Abyssal Demons were similar to Noscent. These puppets were made of materials that couldn’t be found in the Abyss, so it would be very easy to figure it out.

Moreover, there weren’t just Demons here. Other Heaven Rank powerhouses had reincarnated here. These puppets were like Lin Yun’s trademark. Anyone seeing these puppets would know that Lin Yun was there.

More importantly, none of them knew whether he was dead or alive. All they had seen was Lin Yun reincarnating in an Abyssal Magic Bug, but no one knew of his whereabouts.

As for what kind of Demons the others had reincarnated into, Lin Yun knew most of them, especially those he didn’t have a friendly relationship with… He knew exactly which races they chose.

The others didn’t know him, but he knew about them. It would be stupid to expose himself.

There was nothing he could do now. Lin Yun released a pair of puppets to mine the Abyssal Magic Iron before thinking of using the Abyss’ materials to refine a couple of simple puppets to extract ore.

Puppets also existed inside the Abyss, and there were even a few layers rich in ore veins occupied by puppets. Once he used materials to manufacture some Abyss-style puppets, he wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Bajiao became the leader of this Abyssal Bear Goblin Tribe. With Lin Yun’s support, they frantically gathered up the other scattered Abyssal Bear Goblins and attacked other Abyssal Bear Goblin tribes that wouldn’t join.

With Lin Yun very generously giving them the poor quality Energy Crystals, these cowardly idiots quickly grew stronger. Their strength normally might not increase in years, but in the span of three days, Bajaio had already leveled up again.

Time quickly passed, and Lin Yun had already advanced to Level 25. At this level, the restriction of the Imp bloodline appeared, and he couldn’t advance further even with a lot of mana.

He had to evolve once again. At this time, the Abyssal Bear Goblin army had already emerged in the Sun Lake’s area.

This land that was barren during daytime was actually revolving around a lake. The lake spread over ten kilometers but wasn’t very deep. Everything within a hundred kilometers relied on this lake to survive.

The deep red scorching sun appeared during the day, and the light and heat surrounding the lake was especially terrifying. The lake’s water would boil within two or three hours, and from that point on, the water would evaporate within an hour.

At night, after the deep crimson sun disappeared, that torrential rain would fall from the sky and follow the rivers to reform the Sun Lake. It would then evaporate during the day, forming an unending cycle.

The difference in temperature between day and night here was even greater than in Noscent. The temperature during the day was hotter than the hottest day of summer, while the temperature during the night was colder than the coldest night of winter. Those who could survive here had very thick hides and extremely vigorous vitality.

The Abyssal Bear Goblins, they were the most numerous species in this area. They were bandit-like, roguish, wretched locusts. They never provoked anyone more powerful, but everything else, including Vampiric Vines, were their food. They would eat anything that could fill their bellies.

A few dozen of them would come to blows just for a piece of hard meat, yet they would unite under the pressure of a powerful enemy.

No lifeforms within a hundred kilometers of the Sun Lake had been spared the fate of being dismembered and eaten by these blockheads.

After twenty days passed, in the depths of the Abyssal Bear Goblin tribe, the hundred strongest Bear Goblins were guarding the entrance of a cavern.

Bajiao was baring his fangs as he raised his club made of Abyssal Magic Iron, his pair of fish-like eyes looking at the surroundings vigilantly while still guarding the entrance.

“Idiots, the Great Sir is conducting very important spell research, no one is allowed to disturb him. Anyone that dares to disturb him will be eliminated!

“F*ck, anyone that dares to get within a hundred steps… No, anyone other than the patrols that come within five hundred steps has to be killed and torn apart.

“Any outsiders coming within three kilometers have to be eliminated… Hmm? F*ck, don’t ask me how far three kilometers is, how should I know?”

In the depths of the cave, a cocoon covered in black smoke was calmly floating in the air. Numerous pitch-black runes kept wandering over the big cocoon as a wisp of Demonic Aura roamed within.

After five hours, those pitch-black runes all entered the big cocoon and disappeared. The cocoon then dried up and fell apart.

A Demon covered in a layer of red flames emerged from inside. Flames burned around the Demon’s eyes, and two red fireballs were hanging at the end of his curved horns.

Lin Yun opened his eyes, looked at his body, and smiled.

‘Flame Fiend? That’s not too bad. At the very least the physical strength and casting abilities are pretty good, and it’s not at the bottom of the 72 Demonic Bloodlines.

‘It’s also a close relative of Flame Demons. No, it seems that all fire Demons are descendants of the Flame Demon Overlord, and they still ended up under the banner of the Flame Demon Overlord later on.

‘It could be said that the Flame Demons are a powerful Demonic race in the Abyss, and the strongest Flame Demon Greater Overlord was one of the few Greater Demon Overlords present in Noscent’s invasion.’

Lin Yun came out of the cavern after his evolution, stunning Bajiao in the process. The latter immediately lied down on the ground.

“Great Lord, is that you? You have become much more handsome and powerful, this lowly self almost didn’t recognize you…”

Lin Yun grinned and kicked Bajiao flying.

“Damned idiot! This lord has just grown up a bit! How could you not recognize me!?”

As Lin Yun left the cavern, a terrifying heat spread in the surroundings. The Flame Fiend’s power was also at Level 25, but it wasn’t something an Imp could compare to. The Flame Fiends’ eyes were the symbol of a pureblooded Demon in the Abyss.

Bajiao had been kicked aside, but he immediately ran back with a delighted smile. He endured the temperature emitted by Lin Yun’s body and knelt nearby before loudly acclaiming, “Oh, Great Master, you have finally come out. Your lowly servant already completed your command and has been waiting to report to you.

“We have already attacked the territories surrounding the Sun Lake, and the number of Abyssal Bear Goblins has already reached over three thousand and five hundred.

“A demon fort over a hundred kilometers away sent an envoy saying that the formidable City Lord conferred you the title of Commander!”

Lin Yun scratched his chin before kicking Bajiao flying again.

“Sh*t, you moron! If someone dares to come again in the future, directly get rid of those greedy b*stards. A small demon fort dares to confer a title upon me?

“Truly stupid and hopeless, I’ll have to find some time to get rid of that guy…”

Bajiao was shivering on the ground, not daring to say anything more, as Demons were moody creatures. They could be laughing one second, and then crazily killing one’s entire family the next second.

Lin Yun casually tossed over a glass bottle containing some of the Abyss’ rainwater, to which he had added a bit of Mana Water. But even so, the rich and pure mana fluctuations directly made Bajiao’s eyes widen.

He couldn’t stop his eyes from going round as he caught the glass bottle and put it in his embrace.

“You did decent work this time. Continue expanding the territory and capture all fools. If they know how to mine, then have them mine. If they don’t know and their strength isn’t great, then just get rid of them.

“Then check the surroundings and see if there is anything we can take over…”

Bajiao promptly answered, “There is a group of foolish Reapers on the edge of Lord’s territory. Those guys don’t have much meat on their bodies, they are completely made of bones. If Lord wanted to subdue them, that group of idiots would definitely qualify as cannon fodder. They eat very little, their strength is decent, and there are quite a few of them. If Lord were to personally make an appearance, those idiots would definitely be willing to swear loyalty.”

In the Abyss, those that met the criteria of eating less, having good numbers, and possessing decent strength would be eligible to be cannon fodder. Reapers were the most classic cannon fodder. As for Abyssal Bear Goblins, they couldn’t even meet the requirements to be cannon fodder.

When he started the plan to form an army, Lin Yun started acting in person. As a Flame Fiend, conquering some idiots that were considered to have a bit of Demonic Bloodline couldn’t be much easier.

After running around for a few days, Lin Yun now had an army of Reapers, and an army of four-legged Crawlers, as well as an army of Evil Flame Elementals.

Most importantly, he had also discovered a small tribe of Evil Dark Dwarves. They finally found a suitable candidate for the task of mining and refining ore.

The frantic war and expansion continued, and no one felt anything wrong with it. Even the envoy dispatched by the Demon Fort over a hundred kilometers away was eliminated.

But that Demon Fort’s leader wasn’t surprised. After hearing that this place’s ruler was a Flame Fiend, he immediately sent a large pile of precious treasures and even dispatched a Goat-Horned Demon butler to personally pay a visit.

Unfortunately for him, the group of Abyssal Bear Goblins faithfully obeyed Lin Yun’s order and got rid of that butler. By the time Lin Yun learnt of this news, the Demon Butler was a skeleton without a single bit of flesh and his big bones had been taken away to be used as weapons.

This time, the war with the Demon Fort was inevitable.

…

Over three hundred kilometers away, Steer had developed quite smoothly as an Evil Bone Demon. With his identity as an Evil Bone Demon, he soon possessed his own territory.

The fastest way to level up in the Abyss was through war and plunder. Only then would they be able to gather enough resources.

The Abyss was poor in natural resources, but there were enough resources to provide for a large number of demonic lifeforms. Only by seizing their territories and plundering their resources could they rapidly grow stronger.

Especially with the rules of the Abyss… The strongest controlled the bigger territories, while Demons without territories would even be looked down upon by goblins. Born at Level 20, Steer invaded the territories within a few dozen kilometers, and he was currently fighting over the territory of a Strength Demon.

…

On another side, in a steel fortress over a thousand kilometers away, the Shadow Demon Birbo was unexpectedly dedicated to the master of the fortress, a Level 39 Lesser Bone Demon Overlord.

Using her experience as an assassin shadow mage, Birbo rapidly adapted to the body of a Shadow Demon and became a powerful assassin. Moreover, with her control over shadow magic, every assassination went smoothly.

In less than half a month, she became a commanding officer of the steel fortress as a Level 28 Shadow Demon. The other commanding officers, who were Level 30 or above, were very unhappy.

But in less than three days, the Demon that objected the most died under the belly of a Succubus, and the voices of opposition died down.

As a result, Birbo’s position within the steel fortress sharply rose, and the resources she gained quickly increased.

…

Several thousand kilometers away, in an underground world, Morgan’s Dark Demon reincarnation was cursing from under the body of a huge monster. His sharp claws were skillfully digging out that monster’s heart and mana crystal.

…

In a group of volcanoes, Dedale was leading a group of Lesser Flame Demons to war against the neighboring Fire-eating Lizards.

…

A month ago, all human and Beastman Heaven Rank powerhouses had reincarnated as Demons and gained a foothold in this world. Everyone had their own territory or gained a position in a huge fort.

As the second month passed, Lin Yun’s territory finally expanded to cover 150 kilometers, half of which had belonged to the demon fort.

Very late at night, the torrential rain had completely stopped, but sunlight had yet to appear and the vegetation was frantically absorbing the moisture. It was on this moist plain that numerous abyssal lifeforms converged into an army not far from the demon fort.

After frantically absorbing Mana Water, Lin Yun had already advanced to Level 30. That rapid rate of growth made even his stupidest subordinates not dare to act up.

Abyssal Bear Goblins, Reapers, Evil Flame Elementals, Crawlers, Abyssal Goat-horned Monsters…

The huge number of abyssal lifeforms had converged together, and there were even a few hundred Imps forming a caster army.

Lin Yun sat on a throne made of bones and Abyssal Magic Iron. The throne was carried by a ten-meter-tall monster with a dozen legs and was calmly standing in the middle of the army.

On the side, Bajiao was sitting on a terrifying six-legged monster and was brandishing an iron club covered in runes as he loudly cursed at the creatures near him.

“Morons! Quiet down! That demon fort’s idiot unexpectedly dared to challenge Master’s might. Since Master has taken a fancy to this territory, he personally came over, yet they dared to resist!

“This is unforgivable! Morons, it’s time for you to show off! Master came here personally, so let Master see your might and loyalty!

“An unknown amount of food and Energy Crystals are just ahead! Our Master is the most generous Lord of the Abyss, there is no doubt about it! For Master! Morons, chargeee!!!”
