End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169: A Terrifying Battle

The demonic heads kept exploding, and the originally not-too-stable passage became even more unstable. The black hole slowly twisted and distorted. The speed at which it was collapsing kept increasing, and it wouldn’t take more than a few seconds before it collapsed completely.

Del Rovana laughed crazily. She even whipped at the crumbling passage to disperse the golden-red light emerging from it, sealing away any chance that the Raging Flame Emperor could have had to escape.

At that time, an enormous tentacle whipped at the passage that had already transformed into a whirlpool. Those golden-red lights grabbed onto it as if it was a rope and rushed out of the passage. It was as if a golden-red bridge of light flew out of the shattered space.

The bridge of light spread for several kilometers, and the silhouette of the Raging Flame Emperor could be seen at the end. Del Rovana’s tentacle was torn apart within the collapsed passage, almost pulling her in.

The Raging Flame Emperor was pale, and his shabby armor had become dilapidated. His body was covered in blood. He was like a warrior taking his last stand, powerful and tragic.

Del Rovana was covered in black smoke, and only her eyes burning with black flames could be seen shining through it.

The fierce battle was extremely fast. The conclusion could have been determined at any given second. Who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage kept switching. But now, everyone could see that the Raging Flame Emperor couldn’t continue fighting. If no other power joined the fight, the Raging Flame Emperor would inevitably be defeated.

Lin Yun and the others were standing at the edge of the battlefield, all of them extremely pale. The earlier black hole was a passage leading into nothingness. There, the space was pitch-black, and there was no light, no sound, no air, no mana…

Even the sensation of time passing couldn’t be felt there. It was an endless void. If they fell there, their fate would be even more terrifying than death. It was a never-ending torture derived from loneliness and the pitch-black darkness, and it would never end.

That was the place that Demons were most frightened of, yet, a kilometer-long passage to that place had been opened and maintained for more than ten seconds!

The most frightening part was that these two guys managed to escape after falling into that passage.

This wasn’t a power that Low Rank Heaven powerhouses could deal with.

As the battle between the Raging Flame Emperor and Del Rovana continued, Lin Yun suddenly spoke out.

“Are you going to keep watching?”

Lin Yun’s calm voice made everyone look at him. The Beastmen all had pale complexions. One of them opened his mouth as he was about to mock Lin Yun, but for some reason, he couldn’t say a word.

Morgan looked at that inhuman battle with shaking legs before looking at Lin Yun with disbelief and shock.

‘Damn, is Sir Merlin crazy? The battle between these two guys isn’t something we can handle. When they are next to the God’s body, their strength definitely exceeds the Heaven Rank.

‘Even now, they are incomparably stronger than Cross and Clombton, the strongest among us. We are merely weaklings that have just advanced to the Heaven Rank. How could we interfere in this kind of battle?

‘This must be a joke… Just one of those tentacles is several hundred meters long. That’s the tentacle of a Greater Demon Overlord!?

‘Roaming in the void of the endless Abyss, feeding on the remnants of some huge creatures, or even devouring some newly birthed planes. A tentacle from that kind of monster would shatter our shields and end our lives with one lash!

‘And you still want to join the battle?’

No one spoke. Clombton held his staff, and the holy light power surrounding his body was stirred, but he didn’t make a decision. As for Cross, his eyes had turned red, but he remained silent.

After all, those two were clearly too powerful.

“The Raging Flame Emperor might be able to kill the other one. The Demon might be stronger, but she’s also gone crazy,” a Beastman hesitantly said. The others didn’t refute this.

But Lin Yun knew the course of history. Even if it somewhat changed, there wouldn’t be a huge difference. At least, if the power behind the changes wasn’t great enough, the ending would be foreordained.

In the history he knew, Del Rovana ended up devouring the entire Raging Flame Plane. Without any external help, the Raging Flame Emperor would inevitably be defeated.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain this to the others.

Lin Yun took a step forward and took out his Draconic Staff. The Book of Death was in his left hand. Enderfa and the Spell Wheel floated on Lin Yun’s right while the Book of Mantras and Syudos floated on his left.

Fierce mana gushed out of Lin Yun’s body like a berserk tide. It transformed into ripples that kept spreading outwards. Droplets of dense, liquefied mana floated around Lin Yun. He spared no mana, and the mana was pure enough to take shape.

“The Raging Flame Emperor is very powerful, and he is also wise. But the wager is the Raging Flame Plane. If the Raging Flame Emperor is defeated, the Raging Flame Plane and all lives here will die.

“Even if that crazy woman leaves this place, what will happen to Noscent is a foregone conclusion. That lunatic definitely won’t let Noscent off.

“Don’t rely on the hope that she won’t be able to find Noscent’s coordinates… They are the souls of the 73rd God born in Noscent.”

After indifferently saying those words, Lin Yun flew towards the Raging Flame Emperor.

As for the others, their complexions thoroughly changed. No one dared to think that Lin Yun was just scaring them off.

Because Del Rovana had said those words herself, no one dared to keep watching the fighting, they didn’t dare to gamble.

The price for losing the gamble would be the Raging Flame Plane and Noscent. No one doubted that this lunatic woman would do as she said.

“Damn it, get rid of her! If we have to die sooner or later, then I’d rather stake it all! Fight her! I want her to remember my name!”

Morgan gnashed his teeth and stomped his foot. He then summoned his Darkness Elemental God and followed behind Lin Yun.

“The radiance of the holy light does not show concern for any mage scared of evil. All evils have to be banished and cleansed.”

Clombton took out his holy light staff and followed them, with Butler behind him. As for the other humans, they also flew out, as they could no longer hesitate.

As the seven human Heaven Rank powerhouses made their decisions, Cross’ eyes turned red. He used his finger to cut his cheek and smear blood on the golden greatsword in his hands.

“Beastmen never surrender! Remember our precept! The Raging Flame Plane is our homeland. Are we planning to rely on the despicable humans to save our homeland?

“F*ck, I’d rather die than be known as a coward!”

Cross flew out with red eyes. The other Beastmen imitated Cross, each cutting their own cheek and smearing blood on their weapons before flying out.

This was a Beastman ritual conducted when they were about to fight to the death. Their weapons would bear the weight of their souls, and when they returned to the earth, some of their power would be inherited by the weapons and making them become a kind of totem to be passed down.

The fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses burst with their strongest might as they flew over. The Raging Flame Emperor looked over, and a complex and gratified expression flashed in his eyes.

Beastmen never surrender… This was the belief that the Raging Flame Emperor had spread when conquering the Raging Flame Plane.

“A group of repulsive insects wants to shake a great God’s toe? Insects, you should obediently lie down on the ground and tremble!”

Del Rovana shouted in anger. Her berserk power turned into black smoke and burst out. The smoke condensed into demonic heads, and thick tentacles condensed under those demonic heads before they flew towards everyone.

Even more abyssal power transformed into an oppressive pressure that bore down on everyone.

Everyone instantly felt as if they had been hit by a Medusa’s Petrifaction. They all went stiff and kept floating in the air. They could now feel how terrifying Del Rovana’s pressure was.

Her aura alone could suppress them and keep them at bay. Let alone fight, they could only stare blankly as that terrifying tsunami of black smoke forced its way towards them.

Del Rovana angrily roared, but a faint golden-red light pierced through the tide of black smoke and ruthlessly attacked Del Rovana’s body, leaving behind a huge hole in her chest. The Raging Flame Emperor was floating in the air, coldly looking at her.

“Del Rovana, you think you still have the power to take care of others while fighting against me? It looks like your intelligence has greatly suffered.”

The Raging Flame Emperor roared, and a hundred-meter-long golden-red greatsword once again condensed in his hands. His body transformed into a ray of light and appeared before Del Rovana.

The scattered power and aura simply couldn’t defend against the Raging Flame Emperor. The golden-red greatsword cut through Del Rovana’s defenses like a heated knife through butter.

The greatsword severed Del Rovana’s head, left shoulder, and left arm.

The cut demonic arm rapidly dissipated into black smoke, and as for the wound in her left shoulder, a thick black oily sticky liquid gushed out of it. Flames burnt on that oily liquid, and it rapidly condensed into the shape of an arm. After congealing, Del Rovana’s arm seemed normal again.

But during this process, everyone could feel that Del Rovana’s power had stopped crazily increasing, and it even showed signs of weakening.

With an arm being chopped off, Del Rovana became cautious and no longer dared to scatter her power. She also no longer paid attention to Lin Yun and the others, instead focusing all her power on fighting the Raging Flame Emperor.

As they regained their ability to move again, everyone was a bit pale. This had been scary. Only when they really faced her were they able to discover how terrifying she truly was.

But now that the pressure was no longer suppressing them, they became even more resolute in helping the Raging Flame Emperor get rid of this crazy Demon.

“This lunatic has to be killed! We won’t be able to stop her if we lose the backup of the Raging Flame Emperor. This is our only opportunity!”

Cross’ eyes were crimson red, and the aura covering his body looked like golden and crimson flames.

This was Cross igniting his Aura. The ignited Aura would disappear permanently, but the burst power would be twice as strong as usual.

If the battle wasn’t over by the time his Aura was completely ignited, then his vitality and soul would be next.

This was the supreme skill of Heaven Rank warriors. Only when they planned on giving up their lives would they ignite their own aura.

Clombton raised his holy light staff, and a Demiplane suddenly appeared behind him. A small Angel came out of it and cooperated with Clombton to raise a Holy Light Shield in front of everyone. It’s effectiveness against evil and similar spells made the Holy Light Shield the most suitable spell with its defensive power and endurance.

That Demiplane shadow slowly dissipated, and ultimately, only holy light surged from behind him. The terrifying power condensed into a pair of white wings and made Clombton look like an Archangel descended from the Holy Light Plane.

Clombton’s expression was calm and resolute, and a trace of surprise flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes.

Holy Light Wings, the trump card of holy light mages, the life threatening spell that they always kept hidden. After releasing that spell, the holy light mage would have to fight until all his power was exhausted or until he got rid of his opponent. That was the only way to dispel this spell.

Once that spell terminated, the holy light might be weakened for a very long time.

That spell was of the same nature as the Aura ignition of the Heaven Rank warriors. It was used to stake one’s life.

Cross and Clombton releasing their life-threatening abilities erased the hesitation that the Beastmen had. They ignited their Auras one after another.

They were ready to die, because if they couldn’t get rid of that sinister and crazy monster, the entire Raging Flame Plane would perish.

The human Heaven Rank Mages also staked everything in this fight.

This crazy monster was one of the two souls of the Ancient God, and they couldn’t imagine what she could do. Even if she couldn’t use the power of a God, she was terrifyingly powerful.

Dedale controlled his three flaming spheres, and his body was slowly covered in flames before it ultimately transformed into a long burning draconic head.

Slythrin controlled the Endless Sand to rapidly divide until the sand covered him and turned him into a yellow earthen monster.

Butler glowed brightly, and his entire body became translucent. Rays of light curled around him like fairies.

Morgan threw a large number of buffs onto the Darkness Elemental God, making its body expand and causing strands of ink-like power to curl around it.

As for Lin Yun, he roused the power of the Equilibrium Law and the shadow of a set of scales appeared under his body. Lin Yun was like the cursor in the center of the scales. Enderfa controlled the Spell Wheel on one tray, while Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras on the other.

In an instant, the Spell Wheel and the Book of Mantras disappeared, replaced by the huge furnace of the Void Forge and the four-colored radiance of the Elemental Heart.

The scales started tilting, but a huge power was rapidly and forcibly borrowed from the void. The power fell onto the Spell Wheel, making it reach the power of an Extraordinary Magic Tool, on par with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

At this time, a large wheel appeared in the air. Enderfa was in the middle of the wheel, his three faces filled with excitement.

“Damn, it’s only at this time that I feel like I can display a bit of power. Work harder, Merlin!”

They all burst with their strongest power, and of the fourteen of them, two were a step away from the 4th Rank. The burst power they could display when they staked their lives was really terrifying.

The aura emitted by the group was impressive, and Del Rovana couldn’t help glancing over at them.

Unfortunately, the Raging Flame Emperor wouldn’t let go of this opportunity. At this time, Del Rovana was stronger than the Raging Flame Emperor, but it was to a limited degree, and she couldn’t suppress him. As long as she scattered a bit of her power, her power wouldn’t be able to fully condense back together. To the Raging Flame Emperor, Del Rovana’s power would decrease by 30% to 40%.

The enraged pitch-black Demon could only use that boundless abyssal power to condense Demons and form a demonic army to deal with the humans and Beastmen.

This little bit of distraction allowed the Raging Flame Emperor to equalize the score. As long as he got an opportunity, he would be able to fiercely hit that irascible Demon, cutting her body piece by piece. Unfortunately, that body was only one that had been condensed from power, and it wasn’t her main body.

As long as she still had power, Del Rovana would be able to quickly restore her body.

The Raging Flame Emperor and Del Rovana were in a deadlock. And on the other side, the allied forces were facing several dozen towering, brainless, and crazy Demons with burning eyes.

These pitch-black Demons each had the power of a Demon Overlord but didn’t possess any wisdom. She was purely using numbers against them, but they were all at the Heaven Rank.

There were still pitch-black Demons coming out of the long river of black smoke one after another, and they were all crazily attacking everyone.
