End of the Magic Era

It had to be noted that Reina’s control of her spells was very good. Her dozen ice spells happened to form a semicircle precisely. It was exactly the number of spells needed.

However, because of the unexpected factor at the critical moment, one of the ice spells was activated in advance, and caused a chain reaction. Then, all the ice spells were triggered prematurely.

The ice spells that were supposed to freeze the Bloody Lich blocked his way in the form of hazy mist. They didn’t freeze him as they were expected to. It should be easier for the Bloody Lich to escape now.

All the Bloody Lich had to do was to weather the mist. After all, it wasn’t really powerful for the Bloody Lich. He could easily go through it with a death shield.

However, the Bloody Lich certainly didn’t dare to do that at this moment…

As a matter of fact, the Bloody Lich was caught in a dilemma. He didn’t know what might happen when he passed the icy mist. Xiuban was catching up to him from the rear too.

He had to either pass through the mist of ice or meet Xiuban. Passing through the mist seemed to be the better option anyway…

The Bloody Lich had lived a longer life than anybody else here did, but he had never been caught in such a situation before. He was quite stunned.

He was like a boxer who was two meters tall standing in front of a crack that was 10 centimeters wide at most. He could easily cross it, even with his eyes closed. It wouldn’t matter even if he stepped on the crack, as the latter was only half the size of his foot.

Behind him, a five-year-old kid was chasing him, swinging his fists. Then, the boxer hesitated…

He was scared that he might fall into the tiny crack, and that the five-year-old might kill him.

That was exactly what happened. The Bloody Lich didn’t make a choice immediately. Instead, he hesitated…

In the distance, Lin Yun couldn’t bear watching any longer. The level-49 Bloody Lich was famous in the Plane of the Undead. He was well known and feared even in Noscent.

He was a legendary expert who had once fought the King of the Undead, and he still ignored the King of the Undead’s command even to this day. He had a huge territory, but not an army. Still, his name alone had scared the brainless undead creatures in the Plane of the Undead off his turf.

Such an expert was being chased by a level-44 beastman who had no brains but only brawn, and had to run crazily like a stray dog. Lin Yun almost couldn’t bear watching any longer…

In fact, both Alonzo and Agalon were wearing weird expressions, as if they sympathized with the lich.

The Bloody Lich hesitated for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand, summoning at least three level-47 skeleton warriors. Three skeleton warriors who held bone swords appeared and charged at Xiuban.

At the same time, the Bloody Lich crossed the mist of ice under the protection of a death shield.

The fastest skeleton warrior swung his sword casually, and collided with Xiuban’s Carnage. Then, Xiuban was flung backwards quickly.

But that was it. The soul fires in the three skeleton warriors’ skulls all trembled. Then, they all turned around, and chased after the Bloody Lich.

Xiuban screamed and fell on the ground, smashing into the heavy snow, but then he gnashed his teeth and jumped out, as if he didn’t care about the crash at all. His body was truly sturdy.

When Xiuban came back, the three skeleton warriors were nowhere to be found. They had entered the mist of ice too.

Enderfa covered his eyes with the illusionary hand that he made.

“Damn it, what an idiot. I’ve finally found someone who’s as stupid as Xiuban. Is this Bloody Lich exaggerating? How can he be so dumb when he’s faced with a new problem?

“This is the skeleton battlefield. He is the only target here. Even the undead creatures that he summons will break out of control and attack him…”

Xiuban and Reina continued chasing after the Bloody Lich with the help of three level-47 skeleton warriors. The Bloody Lich would be dead for sure…

Lin Yun floated in midair, holding Marianna’s hand. He stole some snack from Marianna’s pocket, and grinned and enjoyed the drama. Marianna grimaced and protested, but it didn’t help.

Then, she angrily threw Lin Yun’s hand off, and fed on snacks while sitting in the snow. Seeing that Xiuban was shouting and yelling, but was still unable to kill the Bloody Lich, she couldn’t help but shout, “Xiuban, would you please hurry up? I’m hungry…”

“Damn it, call me dad. Just wait for it. I’ll surely beat you to death after I kill this old dry corpse…”

Xiuban’s nostrils were smoking because of fury. He continued chasing after the Bloody Lich.

A few minutes later, the Bloody Lich was already covered in wounds. His robe, which was definitely a True Spirit Magic Tool, was already wasted. There was no telling what went wrong. One of his arms was cut apart by a skeleton warrior. When he tried to get his arm back, part of his upper body was cut again. Basically, his parts below the chest were gone…

He looked like an old dry corpse that only had an arm and the body parts above the abdomen.

After the mist of ice appeared in the second accident, the old dry corpse vanished. He then reappeared from the ground, right next to Marianna.

Everybody was shocked to see the Bloody Lich here. Lin Yun was even more flabbergasted. He cast a Hand of Magic, smashing the Bloody Lich with a crystal hand. Unfortunately, it missed the target, and brushed past the Bloody Lich’s shoulder.

The Bloody Lich’s left shoulder and arm were gone, and so were his parts below the chest. Also, there was the Curse of Misfortune. Thus, Lin Yun’s spell didn’t hit the Bloody Lich at all.

The Bloody Lich seemed well aware of that. Between him and Lin Yun was Marianna, who hadn’t even reached the Heaven Rank yet. He caught her immediately, and tied her up with the power of death.

“All of you, stop, or I will transform this poor little girl into an undead creature…”

The Bloody Lich’s suppressed and infuriated voice came out. Lin Yun quickly stepped back with a weird expression. Xiuban, however, roared and charged forward, as if he were going to tear the Bloody Lich apart.

“Xiuban, don’t go there.”

Xiuban glared at the Bloody Lich with bloodshot eyes. A few seconds later, he unusually calmed himself down. Then, he gazed at the Bloody Lich intimidatingly.

“Old dry corpse, if my daughter loses as much as one hair, I’ll break your head.”

At this moment, even Enderfa glanced Xiuban in surprise as the guy was unusually serious. Xiuban might be beating Marianna all the time, but that was the tradition of the beastmen, who would beat their kids up when they didn’t behave…

All beastmen were sturdy. The more they were hit, the stronger they would be. Xiuban, for one, thought that he was much sturdier than anyone else in his level because of all the beating.

He was truly innocent…

Lin Yun quietly pulled Xiuban back, as if he were following the Bloody Lich’s order.

“Dereksey, set this girl free. I promise you that we’ll go our separate ways after you die. We’ll just keep our distance from each other.”

The Bloody Lich was almost going crazy. His power of death had tied up Marianna. Even though the latter had inherited Xiuban’s physical strength, it was still impossible for her to break free.

“Damn you, human being. Give me my soul and my Book of Death, and I will set this little kid free…”

Hearing that, Lin Yun retreated even faster. Even though Xiuban wasn’t exactly smart, he stayed with Lin Yun at this moment. Reina floated in the distance, and didn’t approach, either…

Alonzo and Agalon both saw that instead of trying to rescue Marianna, Lin Yun was moving back constantly, as if he feared that the Bloody Lich would do something irrational.

They looked at each other, and both moved back quietly.

The three deans of the Starry Sky College followed Agalon too, and also retreated.

The Bloody Lich hadn’t noticed yet that Lin Yun was moving back faster and faster, as if he were truly worried that the Bloody Lich would do something irrational.

After Lin Yun retreated a kilometer, Lin Yun suddenly noticed that the Bloody Lich’s power of death, which had wreathed Marianna as gray mist, had completely covered her, leaving only her face exposed to the air…

Marianna seemed to be blushing and gnashing her teeth in fury. Then, some of the gray mist reached Marianna’s nose, and her nose shivered.

Seeing that, Lin Yun turned around and ran off without thinking, not caring whether or not the Curse of Misfortune was still there…

Agalon and Alonzo reacted fastest after seeing Lin Yun’s movement. They didn’t care why Lin Yun was running. They simply followed him.

Xiuban, whose intelligence was questionable, was stunned for a moment. Then, he ran after Lin Yun. He didn’t know why Lin Yun was running, but he was certain that it was never wrong to follow Sir Merlin…

The Bloody Lich was dumbfounded to see that. Even though he knew human beings and Lin Yun quite well, he didn’t expect Lin Yun to abandon Marianna and run off just like that…
