End of the Magic Era - Chapter 675
Chapter 675: Begging for Forgiveness
A large amount of Abyssal lifeforms was attacking from all directions, but it wasn’t too hard for Lin Yun’s group to deal with them.
In the distance, the chaotic melee between the Flame Elemental Dragon, Curio, and the Hell Bull was almost over.
The Hell Bull was covered in injuries and the flames on the Flame Elemental Dragon’s body had already darkened. They were in a bad shape despite their formidable vitality, but they were still alive.
Yet everyone could see that once Curio’s casting ability was restored, getting rid of the two would be very easy. With physical abilities alone, he could already force the Flame Elemental Dragon and the Hell Bull into a defensive stance.
Lin Yun’s drawing speed kept increasing, sweat incessantly dripping down his forehead as Jeremy was getting more and more scared.
At first, he also believed that the Elven Elegy wouldn’t be drawn successfully, thus he wasn’t worried.
But Jeremy got frightened as a large amount of blood had left his body. If it went on, he might die from blood loss before the Elven Elegy was even completed.
“Merlin, let me go. I promise that I won’t cause trouble for you in the future, my father also won’t look for trouble. It doesn’t matter what scheme against the Dark Elves you have, as long as you let me go…”
Jeremy was getting more and more afraid, continuously apologizing, but Lin Yun didn’t even raise his head and only ignored Jeremy. No matter how much Jeremy screamed, Lin Yun’s expression remained ice-cold.
As the Elven Elegy was about to be completed, a faint light appeared on the ground. Jeremy’s blood, that had been flowing in the patterns of the array, now started fusing with it.
This was a clear sign that the Elven Elegy was completed!
Shock and fear appeared on Elsa’s face, she couldn’t believe that he had succeeded!
“That’s impossible! How could a human successfully draw the Elven Elegy!? Doesn’t it require the person to voluntarily sacrifice themselves?”
Elsa’s words crushed Jeremy’s last hope.
Despair was apparent in Jeremy’s eyes, he had completely forgotten his Dark Elven pride and let out a miserable scream while appealing to Lin Yun.
“Sir Merlin, please, please let me off…”
“Sir Merlin, I beg you, please release me. I don’t want to die, I’ll follow all your requests, no matter what you ask for…”
Jeremy was lamenting, howling in grief, but Lin Yun’s expression remained icy, as if he hadn’t heard him.
Enderfa floated towards the despairing Jeremy, his three faces looking at him with ridicule.
“Idiot, I already told you, no one can save you if Merlin wanted to kill you. No matter who you are, how powerful you are or what background you have, no one can save you once he decided to have you dead. Don’t even think that Merlin would show you mercy. You had a chance, but you already infuriated Merlin, so good luck. You might even survive, who knows…”
Enderfa’s chuckles thoroughly broke Jeremy’s mind. Endless despair drowned him. And below Jeremy, Lin Yun stood up, having finished the drawing of the Elven Elegy.
The light brightened as Jeremy’s blood started permeating every corner of the Elven Elegy.
It felt as if the world’s power had somewhat recovered when the Eleven Elegy was dyed in a sorrowful bloody dark color.
The array’s glaring shine covered the screaming Jeremy, then, light started shining underneath. The branch of the Wisdom Tree appeared visible under this radiance.
The Nature Power was gathering, concentrated on this spot. The Wisdom Tree’s power was drawn out and a lot of skylight spread, intensively illuminating the Night Valley.
The Night Valley, which was originally covered with black ice, was undergoing drastic changes. The black ice quickly dissipated, and the evil power covering the ground and the cliffs couldn’t resist, dispersing in an instant.
Grass, moss, saplings, all kinds of vegetation could be seen growing on the ground and cliffs. The air started flowing as the heavy and still world seemed to be alive at this moment.
The ground started fiercely shuddering as thick branches started appearing out of the ground, swaying forward like snakes.
A Frost Demon was pierced by one of those thick roots before being sent flying, its body turning blue from its original black color. It then transformed into an ice blue radiance which spread in the surroundings.
The boundless light covered everything as a large number of black Evil Water Elementals started shaking violently. Then, blue flowers kept growing under the body of the Water Elemental. Countless shoots and branches started to spread out from the bodies of the Water Elemental before they were forcibly purified and turned into nutriment for the vegetation in an instant.
Curio sensed the Abyssal power being continuously cleansed and the ice being melted at a rapid pace, while the entire world seemed to be recovering with the surging power of the Wisdom Tree.
Curio flew into a rage.
While enduring wounds, Curio grabbed the Hell Bull and violently tore him in two halves, forcibly using Eternal Frost again to freeze the Flame Elemental Dragon into a huge ice statue before rushing towards the location of the Elven Elegy.
But he was already too late, vegetation was growing everywhere. Countless roots and branches were drilling out of the ground. There was even a several-dozen-meters-long huge branch drilling out of the ground to charge at Curio.
Curio’s Ice Armor was instantly turned into pieces, cracks appearing on the body made out of ice.
Curio was forced into retreat, until he was pushed back a hundred meters. Under his body, a ten-meters-thick huge root drilled out of the ground and ruthlessly impaled him.
They could see shoots sprouting from the root piercing Curio’s body, forming several dozen small roots.
In an instant, a huge number of roots started growing within Curio’s body. Curio frantically shouted, wanting to struggle free of that huge root, but five more roots appeared below him, all of them at least ten-meters-thick and growing from the Wisdom Tree, they were part of the Wisdom Tree’s main body!
This could be said to be the Wisdom Tree making a move, and even if it was just a small part of the Wisdom Tree, it wasn’t something Curio could escape from.
Curio let out a defiant roar, his power fading away at a rapid pace. His mana was absorbed by these roots like nutriment.
It was the same for these Abyssal lifeforms, they were impaled one after another by those roots and only took a second to turn into fertilizer, whether it was Frost Demons or Evil Water Elementals.
The earth kept shaking. After staying for some time, this huge branch started shaking, purifying all evil power at a fast pace. But that light stopped at the edge of the abyss. The abyss had reached the extreme of evil, while outside the Abyss, everything was flourishing.
Just as Curio was suppressed, Lin Yun charged towards the teleportation array.
When Duncan, who was in the abyss, pressing on Constance’s heart with both hands, saw this scene, flames raged in his eyes as he let out an unwilling roar. When he saw that Curio was actually completely suppressed and couldn’t even resist, Duncan’s body started shaking, his entire body started trembling and the black smoke around him kept dissipating.
His connection to Constance’s heart also weakened, along with the flow of power. Up until it was completely severed.
Duncan took his hands away from Constance’s heart and suddenly let out a painful scream.
His skin turned to ashes, exposing his withered flesh, but then, that flesh also started turning to ashes.
The flesh on his hands as well as his clothes quickly withered and turned to ashes.
His limbs’ flesh dissipated the first, and soon, only bones remained as his internal organs directly fell, turning into ashes during their fall.
“Roar…”
A painful roar echoed from Duncan’s mouth. He was now floating in midair, as a skeleton. His heart remained the last organ within his body, still beating at the same frequency as Constance’s heart.
Duncan forced himself up, in pain, his hands moving as he roared again…
Boundless black smoke rose up from his body, and following Duncan’s painful roar, a large number of Abyssal Runes surged out from his mouth.
The boundless runes converged with the black smoke and formidable mana fluctuations spread like a tide.
The only things visible in Duncan’s pitch-black eye sockets were hate, anger, and pain…
The strong emotions moved the mana, and the Ash Beastman’s innate casting ability was fully displayed, a large amount of Abyssal Runes and black smoke condensed over the abyss under Duncan’s control.
In an instant, twelve black vortexes appeared and with the convergence of the black smoke and the Abyssal Runes, the vortexes’ size was increasing at a rapid pace.
After a few seconds, twelve huge Abyssal Gates over a dozen meters large took shape in the air.
Abyssal aura was leaking out of these twelve Abyssal Gates, colliding with the aura of nature.
Thunderous sounds echoed when these powers clashed, and a large amount of vegetation that had just started to regrow, in the area near the gates, was crushed and twisted by the collision.
