End of the Magic Era - Chapter 995

Chapter 995: Tide

It was also a pity to kill the Undead but give up on their Soul Fires. They didn’t have time to collect them, but Barton and Lagulin didn’t need to collect them. With the innate devouring abilities of the Undead, they could forcibly absorb and devour Soul Fires.

As for Lin Yun, he was holding the Book of Death and flipped it to the Sage Chapter before rousing its power to keep devouring the Undead Essence falling in his surroundings.

The Sage Chapter hadn’t been used for a very long time, because it could no longer make itself useful. The Sage Chapter could only copy Ultimate Spells up to the 4th Tier, and 4th Tier Ultimate Spells only had the power of a 6th Tier Spell. Even if Ultimate Spells were powerful, they weren’t too useful.

Moreover, the Sage Chapter required too many Undead Essences in order to raise the tier of the copied Ultimate Spells. He could only visit the famous Undead Plane later on, as only that place had enough of the Undead to kill.

But there were a lot of them in this place. It could absolutely compare to some of the Undead Plane’s remote areas. Killing the endless waves of the Undead would be enough to upgrade the Sage Chapter.

The Andlusa Kingdom’s group converged at Lin Yun’s location. Xiuban, who had been fighting chaotically, was dutifully remaining within thirty meters of Lin Yun.

The Undead that appeared at this time were extremely weak. Xiuban could shatter their bones just by attacking with his body, but even he had his limits. As long as he stopped for a bit, he would be submerged by the endless swarms of the Undead. These Undead were lining up to be destroyed, trying to make him die of exhaustion.

The earth suddenly shook, just like the prelude to a volcanic eruption. Black smoke surged from the ground, emitting an evil aura of darkness. The smoke rapidly condensed and transformed into a hundred-meter-tall Ancestor Soul.

The Ancestor Soul was dark grey, and smoke of the same color was lingering on its body. It looked like an ordinary Beastman, but its thick arms were hanging down to its knees. The four fangs going over its lips were more than ten meters long. Important parts of its body were covered with terrifying barbed tips.

Many Undead creatures were hanging from those seemingly transparent barbed tips. They were the same kinds that were crowding the ground. Several dozen Undead Beastmen were hanging down from those barbed tips. That kind of injury didn’t matter to the Undead, but in less than two seconds, the Soul Fires of those Undead Beastmen were devoured by that Dark Ancestor Soul, leaving their bones to turn into fragments as they fell.

Not only did their Soul Fires end up being swallowed up, but even the essence of their bodies was also cleanly devoured. After devouring their essence, the barbed tips on the Dark Ancestor Soul became even sharper.

The Dark Ancestor Soul’s face turned extremely sinister, its eyes filling with a crazy desire for slaughter as its huge palm swung down at Xiuban.

The terrifying power forcibly blew the air out of the atmosphere, and the Dark Ancestor Soul’s huge hand left a vacuum behind it as it hit the ground.

Xiuban swung Carnage and clashed with the Dark Ancestor Soul’s palm. In an instant, black and white streams of air were sent slicing out. A wave of air less than fifty centimeters in thickness rushed out and cut a group of Skeleton Warriors into pieces.

Xiuban roared, becoming bloody red as the earth below his feet loudly exploded. It was like it had been smashed by something invisible, causing it to collapse in an instant.

The huge Dark Ancestor Soul was swaying, and its thick arm seemed to have been forcibly torn open.

Xiuban’s eyes were deep red, and the steam surrounding his body turned into a cloud of white smoke. A cyan stream of air drifted around the surface of his body, while a yellow halo was covering Carnage. A bloody light suddenly appeared and expanded his body, making him reach three meters in height. The blue veins on his arms were bulging, and his arms became as thick as Lin Yun’s waist.

The wind made his body even more flexible, while the power of the earth made Carnage even heavier. The Bloodthirst spell increased his acceleration by 30% to 40%. And this wasn’t all… Following Xiuban’s roar, the magic patterns on his body shone once more, and a golden-green flame suddenly appeared and wrapped around Carnage.

Xiuban suddenly jumped and ferociously struck the lower leg of the Dark Ancestor Soul. His terrifying power exploded, and it was coupled with the sweeping flame power coming from the bloodlines of the Three-Headed Gold Dragon and the Ancient Poison Dragon.

But the Ancient Poison Dragon’s power was clearly stronger, as Xiuban’s flames were completely dark green, with a wisp of golden light floating within.

It was an ordinary fire enchantment, but it underwent mutations due to the transformation of Xiuban’s bloodline. Xiuban’s terrifying power barely made the Dark Ancestor Soul sway, but the strange burning power and poison contained within the enchanted flames made a three-meter-wide area on the lower leg of the Dark Ancestor Soul cave in, with a moss green layer of flames continuously burning there.

The sudden blow made the Dark Ancestor Soul’s eyes burn even more fiercely.

The palm swatted heavily at Xiuban and sent him flying, and the power behind the attack created a huge hole when Xiuban hit the ground.

Lin Yun remained expressionless. That kind of power would make Xiuban feel some pain at worst, but he definitely wouldn’t be injured.

“Get rid of that Dark Ancestor Soul first!”

If they didn’t get rid of it, they would be dragged down to their deaths. They would sink into an endless battle when the Undead chasing after them caught up, and that battle would never end unless they killed them all.

There were so many of the Undead here that they just couldn’t see the end of it all. It was like an extra layer of earth. Getting rid of all of them was out of the question. Lin Yun roughly estimated that there were at least 200,000 to 300,000 of them… Just within sight…

Even a Heaven Rank powerhouse would be killed if they were trapped.

The others also understood this and changed their target to this Peak Level 39 Dark Ancestor Soul. After a dark transformation, that Ancestor Soul had obtained Undead Power and Darkness Power, making it even more powerful. The strength that it displayed already exceeded Level 39.

Lagulin and Barton withstood the surrounding Undead army while the remaining nine people and the patched puppet frantically burst with power, doing their best to get rid of the Dark Ancestor Soul.

Lin Yun used Fire Elemental Incarnation and summoned eight fire vortexes above his head. The boundless fire spells transformed into eight fire spellwaves, which then revolved and transformed into a huge Flame Storm, pressuring that Dark Ancestor Soul from the front.

Enderfa and the patched puppet released a storm of fire spells together, and the two cannons also emerged from the patched puppet’s knees before firing a glaring golden ray at the Dark Ancestor Soul.

Reina’s ice spells were less effective against these Undead lifeforms, so she only sprayed a Frost Breath at the Dark Ancestor Soul’s legs to freeze it on the spot while also casting some debuffs to decrease its speed.

Jouyi, Haren, and the Azurewave Sword Saint used their own abilities: Galaxy Storm, Dark Corrosion, Sky Sword, and others…

A group of stars gathered together to form a galaxy that washed over the body of the Dark Ancestor Soul, shattering the barbed tips. Thick darkness then covered it and kept corroding its body, as if there was a demon howling within. Lastly, the piercing sword of light was putting the most pressure on the Dark Ancestor Soul. It cut like a hot knife through butter and directly severed an arm.

Everyone’s burst of attacks made that Dark Ancestor Soul unable to cast, and they ended up managing to knock it down. The huge flood of spells forcibly suppressed the Dark Ancestor Soul, and no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t break out of the spell suppression.

Xiuban’s eyes were red as he rushed to the head of the Dark Ancestor Soul and kept swinging Carnage. The ground kept shaking each time the terrifying power smashed down.

The strange enchanted flames possessed the effects of the Three-Headed Gold Dragon’s purifying flames and the Ancient Poison Dragon’s poison flames. Soon, the Dark Ancestor Soul’s head was covered in those flames, which were using its power as fuel to keep burning.

But that Dark Ancestor Soul wasn’t a true lifeform… It was a soul, so its power came from worship. While its fighting strength hadn’t reached the Heaven Rank, its vitality could compare to Heaven Mages who comprehended the Law of Life, making it practically immortal.

After three minutes, the Dark Ancestor Soul’s body shattered and distorted. Half of its head had been broken by Xiuban, while the remaining half had been burnt by those strange golden-green flames. But even then, the Dark Ancestor Soul still hadn’t died.

As the Dark Ancestor Soul’s aura was weakening and its body was about to be torn apart, the remnants of its eye emitted a crazy and hostile light before its body suddenly exploded with a roar.

Black smoke filled the sky, but instead of rising, it spread out, covering everything with a kilometer.

Then, a terrifying transformation happened. The dark smoke sank into the ground, and the earth started shaking frantically. Undead Beastmen dug out of the ground one after another, and all of them were Level 20 or higher.

In addition to their huge bone hammers, these Undead Beastmen all had shields. Apart from Elite Undead Beastman Warriors, there were also Undead Wolf Riders, Undead Kodos, and Death Warlocks…

Numerous Undead creatures appeared, and with the original Undead Beastmen, their numbers within a kilometer exceeded ten thousand.

More importantly, Lin Yun’s group had been completely surrounded by this army of the Undead.

There were also several thousand Skeletal Wyverns circling in the sky, ready to dive down and attack at any moment. All their paths were blocked, leaving them with only one option: fighting to the death.

And looking at the tide of the Undead continuously pounding against them, they were all somewhat despairing.
