End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1433

Chapter 1433: The Last Survivor

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Exactly at this moment, Lin Yun saw an acquaintance, who was none other than Uther…

The moment he saw Uther, Lin Yun put on a smile. The area had been narrowed to 30 kilometers in length, and the sky had collapsed. Lin Yun could even count the number of living ants here.

The living creatures here were from a dozen intelligent species, but there were only 300 of them. Lin Yun didn’t think that any of them had noticed Uther so far.

It was like the guy just popped out of nowhere. Lin Yun noticed him when he appeared, but he didn’t know how the guy appeared.

The living creatures were fighting the undead ones. Lin Yun also joined the battle. While he was fighting, he realized that Uther was fighting undead creatures too…

Lin Yun instantly noticed the anomaly. The illusionary world was not exactly a replay of history, but more like an illogical and disconnected world that was made of the key pictures.

Uther’s sudden appearance suggested that he might have appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield in real history. There was nothing wrong with that.

But this was the illusionary world that had already collapsed. It was impossible that a new additional life just arrived here. Uther was likely the master of this illusionary world.

He carried obvious characteristics of an elf, and had a black scale on his chin. He wasn’t very strong in the age of the Nesser Dynasty. He should’ve been caught by the pure-blood elves and executed before the war began.

It was a humiliation to pure-blood elves that a half elf who boasted the black dragon bloodline became extraordinary. There was no way that the Sunflame Elves could tolerate that. It was possible that some level-9 Heaven Rank experts would’ve punished him in person.

The battle continued. The remains of the world collapsed faster and faster. In the moment of final breakdown, Lin Yun fought the undead creatures while observing Uther, but Uther had been attacked even before Lin Yun could confirm that he was this illusionary world’s master.

A ghost with sharp claws suddenly appeared behind Uther, and penetrated his back and chest with a stab. His beating heart was gouged out and torn into pieces.

It happened so fast that Lin Yun was unable to rescue him at all.

Lin Yun was quite shocked to see the scene. Was Uther not the master of this illusionary world? Had he been killed just like that?

Uther’s heart had been gouged out and swallowed. Unless a level-7 Heaven Rank holy light mage cast level-10 resurrection on him, it was impossible to save him, not even with a Health Potion.

Uther’s body didn’t fall after he died. Behind him, a necromancer cast Undead Transformation, and turned Uther’s body into a zombie.

His chest was empty, and his skin became as cold as iron. His unclosed eyes were shrouded in the power of death. The soul inside his head was ignited, turning into soul fire.

Lin Yun looked quite grim. He hadn’t confirmed yet who the master of the illusionary world was. It was most likely Uther, but the guy had been killed and transformed into an undead creature.

Uther, having turned into an undead creature, moved extremely fast. He soon tore apart quite a few survivors. Then, he noticed Lin Yun, and agilely jumped at him.

Sharp fingernails grew on Uther’s fingers. Emitting metallic hues, they were like the sharpest edges. Lin Yun frowned. The space was getting narrower and narrower, and there were more and more undead creatures. It was impossible for him to dodge perfectly.

He unfolded his shield and jumped aside, only to discover that Uther was clawing at his right shoulder, where the fat kid who was too scared to talk had been sitting.

When the sharp edge quickly approached him, the fat kid was so terrified that he threw himself away from Lin Yun’s shoulder.

Lin Yun’s expression slightly changed. He had not expected the fat kid to cause him trouble at the critical moment. If he fell, the undead creatures might tear him into pieces by accident even if they didn’t see him.

However, what shocked Lin Yun furthermore was that when Uther was about to hit Lin Yun, he suddenly changed his direction, as if he had never meant to attack Lin Yun, and the fat kid was his target all alone.

The fat kid was still falling when the sharp claws scratched at him. But all of a sudden, Lin Yun extended his hand and grabbed him. Uther’s sharp claws cut Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield.

Intense magic brilliance burst out. The edge of the blade-like claws collided with the Fusion Shield 100 times, but couldn’t really break through.

Lin Yun suddenly became thoughtful. He floated still, holding the fat kid, who almost passed out because of fear. He quietly watched Uther, who attacked relentlessly but couldn’t break Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield.

The world collapsed, and was swallowed by the darkness. In this remaining area, countless undead creatures were swallowed by the darkness. Uther seemed to be even more desperate. He roared and tried to break Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield.

After testing a few times, Lin Yun confirmed that the zombie Uther wanted the fat kid, whom he could see clearly. He was the key of this illusionary world.

But Lin Yun stopped moving. He simply waited for the world to collapse.

Time went by one second after another. Very soon, Uther let out a furious roar as the world fell apart into countless pieces like a broken mirror. Then, each of the pieces further broke apart.

When the breaking began, Lin Yun keenly spotted a bloody ball of light, which was hidden right behind the mirror of this illusionary world.

Upon seeing this ball of light, Lin Yun unleashed all of his strength, activating the Book of Death, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, the Draconic Staff, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel…

Staying for such a long time in the illusionary world was, in a way, rewarding. The side effects of his level-up based on death marks had been completely neutralized. He now was a real level-7 Heaven Rank mage.

All the magic tools helped him unleash all his strength. He was not casting any spells, but simply running forward in the broken world with his understanding of laws and the magic tools’ own power.

There was nothing but void among the broken pieces that were a kilometer long. The tiny bit of void was an insurmountable obstacle. At this moment, the broken pieces were still somehow connected to each other.

Lin Yun was shrouded in dazzling brilliance. Like a comet that passed through the darkness, he crossed all the broken pieces, and reached the bloody ball of light.

Staring at the ball of light, Lin Yun opened the Book of Death, and smashed it on the ball brutally.

Instantly, the ball of light seemed to be pulled into the Book of Death by a pair of invisible hands. Lin Yun heard a terrifying scream. Even his soul was almost shattered for the moment. His head was dizzy.

Exactly at this moment, the bloody ball of light was completely absorbed into the Book of Death, which was closed and chained again. Pale, Lin Yun held on to the Book of Death. When he opened his eyes and saw the outside world again, the broken space was already completely gone.

He had escaped…

He was still in the middle of nowhere, standing before the glittering balls of light. Except those which represented the vampire ancestors, there were only five left. The sixth one had completely vanished.

Lin Yun swallowed two bottles of potion. He waited for three days before his face was finally back to normal, and he could see again.

Looking at the Book of Death, which was still glittering, Lin Yun put on a cold smile.

After all the impossibilities were ruled out, the last one, however unlikely it might seem, would be the answer.

Nobody was trapped in the illusionary world at all. Or rather, it wasn’t the master of the illusionary world who was trapped there.

That was not an accurate description. Uther had indeed tried to escape from the illusionary world. However, that world didn’t have an exit. Its most crucial part was the bloody ball of light.

The ball was sort of inside the illusionary world, and sort of not. How could one escape from the illusionary world when the key wasn’t there?

The only opportunity was when the world completely fell apart. That was the only moment the key to the illusionary world’s escape appeared. Who could possibly grasp the opportunity if they hadn’t known about it already?

As he stayed until the final destruction of the Nesser Dynasty, and watched it fall at an astonishing speed, Lin Yun ruled out a lot of possibilities. In the end, when he saw that Uther attacked the fat kid, Lin Yun knew that there was only one last possibility left, even though it seemed unlikely.

But that was the only possibility. This illusionary world was a trap!
