End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1171

Chapter 1171: Will To Die

Lin Yun chanted an incantation, and law runes flew out of his mouth. Then, it looked like a giant’s hand merged the runes and flames together.

It formed a huge, strange-shaped ball emitting terrifying power. If not for the power of the Equilibrium Law, that sphere would have already exploded.

After the convergence was complete, Lin Yun spat out the last rune.

The chaotic sphere was sent flying towards the void as if it had been kicked by a giant.

At this time, the Equilibrium Law that Lin Yun had been using reached its time limit. The shadow of the scales disappeared, and with it went the power of the Equilibrium Law.

The power of the Spell Wheel rapidly dropped to the peak of the True Spirit realm. Borrowing the power from the void several times in a row was tempering the Spell Wheel with Extraordinary Power.

Even if the Spell Wheel’s power plummeted, it would slowly increase its power.

This was one of the best benefits of the Equilibrium Law… After the borrowed power was used, it would be returned far in the future. This was Law Power, and it was not a shady deal, because the borrowed power would be returned and not kept.

Having lost its stability and artificially forced balance, that sphere full of chaotic and berserk energy thoroughly burst open.

Along with everyone else’s all-out attacks, the power all ended up colliding and creating something terrifying. The power all collapsed.

Their bursts of power shrank into a ten-meter-wide chaotic energy sphere.

When the collapse reached this stage, it could no longer shrink any further as it reached its critical point. The collapsed energy sphere then exploded once again.

In an instant, the sphere frantically expanded like a shockwave.

The fourteen Heaven Rank powerhouses were sent flying out while spitting blood, their shields being completely torn apart.

That long, wriggling river of black smoke was also torn apart, and many Heaven Rank powerhouses were unable to react to the outpour of power… But there was no need to react.

Because that bursting power had already shattered the space within several kilometers.

Space was shattered, power was shattered, and everything was torn apart into the smallest possible pieces.

The power of the Abyss poured into the God Nation’s passage, and having lost the node sustaining it, it directly collapsed, severing Del Rovana’s source of power.

They still had no time to sigh in relief, as a faint black light started shining from the void. The rays of light slowly spread and then rapidly expanded as the Abyss’ power spurted out once again.

They all succumbed to despair in an instant… They hadn’t been able to break through Del Rovana’s source of power, and the Raging Flame Emperor couldn’t kill her. Moreover, they had exhausted all their power. They wouldn’t be able to burst out with that kind of terrifying power again within a short time.

“Idiots, with your weak power, you actually thought of severing my connection to my world? That’s my territory! The infinite abyssal power is my support, my source of power. You think you can sever it? What a joke.

“It doesn’t matter, wait until I’m done with Norrick and I’ll take my time to make insects like you feel fear and despair.

“Hahahaha…”

Del Rovana let out savage laughter as if she had known long ago what would happen. It made everyone give up any hope of being lucky.

‘It’s over, we are finished…’

The group of people floated within the void with unconcealable despair and pain.

The milky white feathers of the Holy Light Wings behind Clombton fell off and dissipated. His holy light power almost completely faded as he watched the restoration of the abyssal power passage like a pious believer waiting to die.

Cross held his golden sword and closed his eyes in despair.

“We have done our best…”

His flaming golden aura slowly stopped burning. Cross looked back at the fierce fight between the Raging Flame Emperor and Del Rovana. The temporary loss of her source of power didn’t decrease Del Rovana’s strength by too much, but she was unable to keep repairing her body as easily as before, and her injuries slowly increased.

But everyone knew that by the time Del Rovana regained her steady source of power, the Raging Flame Emperor would definitely be unable to kill her.

This would be the same as their efforts being worthless and wasted.

The group of wounded mages and Beastmen calmly waited for their deaths. They had lost all hope. But they felt that dying at the hands of a God wasn’t a bad ending…

Morgan grinned, no longer having any hope of survival.

“It could be said that I’m the only member of the Henry family to have fought a God. When the future generations hear my name, they will be able to boast that their ancestor once fought a God. Even though we failed, it would be an honor…”

Raphael spat out a mouthful of blood and also grinned.

“Wrong, wrong, they should be saying that we almost got rid of an Ancient God, and although we came up short and ended up dying, it should still be told as a legendary epic. Bards and minstrels will pass on the song of our feats for a millennium… No, for three millennia.

“Maybe we will become legendary heroes a millennium later…”

They went all-out but still had no results. Yet, no one was afraid. Dying at the hands of a God wasn’t something to be ashamed of, not to mention that they almost helped kill a God.

Lin Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and then floated towards the restored power channel. He mixed blood with a few runes and threw them towards that passage.

Then, Lin Yun let his body float into the air as if he’d died, and he just calmly looked at that passage.

“Sir Merlin, what are you doing?”

Morgan was lying on his stomach on a flying carpet like a corpse, and he looked at Lin Yun with a grin.

Lin Yun didn’t have time to say anything before one of the Beastmen heartily laughed, “Mafa Merlin, what do you want to do now? Damn, we all listened to your suggestion and failed, do you understand? Everyone is going to die here.”

Cross opened his eyes and berated that Beastman, no fear visible in his eyes.

“Enough! Beastmen never push the fault onto others. Our lack of power doesn’t mean it was the wrong strategy. Death is not worth fearing, and dying for the sake of our home and tribesmen is an honor!”

The group remained silent, and no one paid any more attention to what Lin Yun was doing.

Del Rovana was still frantically clashing with the Raging Flame Emperor. Her black and greasy blood kept sprinkling from her body, flowing like small rivers, but there was no fear in her eyes… There was only a malevolent, self-assured smile.

“Stupid insects, you provoked a great God! You’ll suffer the most malicious curse and your souls are bound to suffer endless torture.

“Carefully enjoy this little bit of peace you have left, because I’ll personally torment you next! Rest assured, I won’t let your bodies and souls die until the end of time.

“Hahaha…”

Del Rovan fiercely threatened them. But they didn’t even feel like she was threatening them… She was simply stating facts.

Cross closed his eyes and started chanting the Beastman Requiem. Aura fluctuations started spreading from his body. This startled the other Beastmen until they appeared behind Cross and closed their eyes to join him in chanting the desolate Requiem.

This was a song chanted after or when a Beastman was about to die. It would let their souls return to the embrace of the earth after their deaths.

All the Beastmen started letting out faint Aura fluctuations. They were burning away their last bit of Aura and life to burn themselves to death and deliver their own souls to the embrace of the earth.

Sorrowful Auras filled the surroundings, and no one on the human side was in the mood to mock them.

Clombton brought his Holy Light Staff above his head, and wisps of faint holy light sprinkled down, slowly filling his body.

Dedale remained silent, his three flaming spheres slowly enveloping his body.

Morgan revived his Darkness Elemental God and touched its head. The Darkness Elemental God seemed to be resisting Morgan’s order.

Everyone would rather end their own lives than fall into the hands of that crazy Demon.

Lin Yun attentively watched that condensing spatial node, and a smile slowly appeared on his exhausted face, but he was startled when he looked to the side.

“Heavens, what are you doing!? We just accomplished our mission, why are you trying to kill yourselves?”

The surrounding people were distracted.

Morgan sighed, “Sir Merlin, there is no need to persuade us. I’d rather have my Darkness Elemental God break my own neck than end up in the hands of that lunatic.

“Death isn’t the most terrifying outcome, falling in the hands of that lunatic is…”

A layer of pure holy light could be seen on Clombton’s face. It looked like this was the time in his life when he was the least afraid of death, especially since it was in line with the holy light’s doctrine.

“Everyone that believes in the holy light would never bow their heads to evil. I am only returning to the embrace of the holy light. There is nothing tragic about this.

“Sir Merlin, I appreciate your good intentions, but the road has come to an end, and no one can stop it.”

As for the Beastmen who were already determined to die, they simply ignored Lin Yun and kept condensing and igniting their Auras, throwing their own lives into the flames and burning them to oblivion.

Lin Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. They had managed to reach this step with great difficulty… The others hadn’t known that even though the passage could be shattered, it couldn’t be permanently destroyed, but how could Lin Yun not know?

This space belonged to a God Nation, so as long as the God hadn’t died, this God Nation would be able to quickly recover from any damage.

That space would quickly recover after being torn to shreds, and the passage attached to the space would also recover.

All they could do was temporarily sever Del Rovana’s connection to the source of power. It would be for the best if the Raging Flame Emperor could kill Del Rovana during this temporary disruption.

But now, it was clear that the Raging Flame Emperor wouldn’t be able to kill Del Rovana in the short term, so Lin Yun could only use his trump card.

Outside the Holy Mountain, within the dark red sky, an incomparably huge flying warship was rapidly approaching the Holy Mountain. The warship emitting an ancient aura looked like a huge ghost ship. It was old and quiet.

The dilapidated war flag fluttered at its mast, and on both sides of the warship’s prow, various holes opened up, and huge mana crystal cannons extended from within.

On the deck of the battleship, teams of Dark Elves, Firerock Dwarves, and Ash Beastmen were working hard like bees, continuously clearing the deck.

“Guys, work harder! Master summoned us so we need this broken deck fixed, we don’t want Master to be humiliated!”

“Hey, idiot, this kind of work should be done by the Firerock Dwarves, yet you actually want the Dark Elves to mend the deck? Is your brain still working?”

“Hurry up and work, don’t spout nonsense. Don’t tell me that you want us to steer the Intrepid towards Master while it looks like a wreck? At least make it look undamaged!”

A group of busy Dark Elves and Firerock Dwarves were entering and exiting the captain’s cabin, continuously reporting information.

Elsa had a solemn expression as she attentively watched the outside from the captain’s cabin.

“Speed up, Master’s order is to rush over as fast as possible and destroy anything that blocks the Intrepid’s path.”

“Lady Elsa, there seems to be a spatial barrier eighteen kilometers ahead. It forms a powerful spatial obstacle…”

A Dark Elf gathering information hurriedly shouted. But he barely had time to say those words before Elsa ordered with an unquestionable tone, “Fire the mana crystal cannons, open a hole and ram the Intrepid in. Remember, Master’s order was to rush over as fast as possible. Eliminate all obstacles.”

Louds explosions echoed in the sky as thick beams of light shot out of the Intrepid in the direction of the Holy Mountain.

It looked like a transparent barrier was blocking these beams ten kilometers away from the Holy Mountain, creating fireworks that exploded within the void.

Cracks suddenly appeared within the void as that transparent barrier was no longer able to handle the power.

“The results of the calculations show that the Intrepid will be able to get in if the barrier is cracked. The loss in speed would be negligible.”

“Ram in!”

The Intrepid’s huge frame was like a monster rushing in. An oval light barrier was raised in front of the warship, and it rammed into the barrier without slowing its speed.

A cracking sound echoed in the sky as the space was completely shattered within a few kilometers. Shattered pieces fell one after another. But the Intrepid kept pushing through.

The tall Holy Mountain stood before them, but the scenery was completely different from the outside world. The air was covered with strands of black smoke. Rivers of lava flowed on the ground, and numerous abyssal lifeforms struggled beneath.

With the appearance of the Intrepid, the abyssal lifeforms on the ground fearlessly raised their arms and let out angry roars.

Halfway to the Holy Mountain, five Demon Overlords released their huge Demon Bodies and blocked the path of the Intrepid.

“The target’s coordinates are in this mountain, use the Hand of Destruction and open a path,” Elsa calmly ordered.

In the warship’s armory, a Firerock Dwarf with a beard stretching past his waist jumped three meters and kicked a Firerock Dwarf blocking his path.

“Fool, get out of the way! Sh*t, hurry up! I can finally test that Hand of Destruction! F*ck, hurry the hell up!

“These Demons really appeared at the perfect moment. No, they ran out of luck, that crazy Elsa simply doesn’t care about these Demons.

“Right, we only need to blast a hole…”

The group of Firerock Dwarves still repairing the mana crystal cannons immediately went crazy when they heard the three words, “Hand of Destruction”. They immediately threw aside their work and started adjusting the Hand of Destruction.

“Damnit, the angle… Which idiot is in charge of adjusting the angle?

“Mana crystals? What about the mana crystals? The Intrepid doesn’t have much power stockpiled, it can’t fire a full blow of the Hand of Destruction. Idiot, do you want us to fall from the sky?

“If you delay Master’s matters, you’ll have to deal with that crazy Elsa peeling off your skin.

“20% is the limit. Idiot, I said 20%. Stuff all the mana crystals in!

“Right! All of them. Sh*t, have your brains been contaminated by Demons? Did it transform into lava?

“Hurry up, there isn’t enough time!”

The mouth of the Hand of Destruction’s barrel slowly extended out of the Intrepid and aimed at those few roaring Demons.

As that Firerock Dwarf fiercely slammed a few runes in, the Hand of Destruction’s pitch-black mouth was like a black hole devouring endless light. The light in the cannon’s surroundings turned into sharp strands of light that were drawn into the cannon’s mouth.

The Intrepid was rapidly charging towards the Holy Mountain, but when they were still eight kilometers away, Elsa coldly asked, “What the hell are those red-skinned midgets doing? We will crash into that huge mountain in less than ten seconds!”

The Intrepid was very fast, and at that speed, they would crash into the Holy Mountain, which would clearly slow them down.

That would conflict with Lin Yun’s order.
