72 Passing the Illusion (1/2)

”Fuck! How come there are so many of you!” Lin Yun was startled. That amount of Skeleton Warriors far exceeded what he could have imagined.

In contrast, the gathering of Skeleton Warriors at the Bone Plane's Nether Iron Vein was not worth mentioning, it was just a small amount of a hundred Skeleton Warriors… What he was facing now was a sea of Skeleton Warriors, a thousand at the very least!

'What should I do…'

The first thought in Lin Yun's mind was using Lighten to jump off the cliff.

But just as he was about to chant the spell, he recalled the Master's notes. This was a true and dangerous illusion.

This sounded like a contradiction, but Lin Yun knew that the important part of this sentence was the word ”true”.

What did a true undead army look like? Sandro's notes taught Lin Yun this part. Lin Yun was certain that if he used Lighten to get down the cliff, what would await him would most likely be a large group of Gargoyles, or a dozen Obsidian Statues, or even some Bone Dragons.

A place like a Death Garden wasn't something that could be explained with logic. It was a place where a huge amount of death energy was continuously converging, transforming into an extremely strange Death Garden. The Death Garden itself was the embodiment of death power. On a certain level, there was also the trace of the Shadow Law. Facing such a strange existence, how could he get what he wants with a cheap trick?

The first wave of Skeleton Warriors were already rushing up the slope, raising their rusted scimitars.

Lin Yun didn't have much time to think, he chanted a few sentences and a Flame Barrier was quickly erected at the bottom of the slope. Lin Yun was a Great Mage now, his strength was ten times higher compared to when he had entered the Bone Plane. That Flame Barrier rose up in the middle of the first wave of Skeleton Warriors, blossoming with terrifying might. A dozen Skeleton Warriors turned to ashes before they could even react.

Moreover, the appearance of that Flame Barrier also gave rise to chaos among the Skeleton Warriors. The fear of flames was instinctive in all undead lifeforms, cannon fodder-like lifeform like the Skeleton Warriors weren't an exception. The Skeleton Warriors facing the Flame Barrier wanted to retreat while the one behind them tried to rush up.

Chaos ensued.

Lin Yun took advantage of the chaos to complete his Flame Storm incantation. He only heard a bang before commotion appeared amidst the Skeleton Warriors. A sphere of flames appeared among the Skeleton Warriors, spinning frantically as the temperature instantly rose up. It was like a tornado made up of flames swallowing everything on its path. Only ashes were left in the path of the Flame Storm. The spell lasted ten seconds, reducing over a hundred Skeleton Warriors to ashes. Almost the entire first wave of Skeleton Warriors was decimated.

But he knew that this was only the beginning.

Sure enough, as the first wave was cleared by Lin Yun, the remaining Skeleton Warriors started climbing the slope. The closest one was less than a hundred meters away, and there were ten times more than the previous wave.

Lin Yun knew that once surrounded by this amount of Skeleton Warriors, not even a High Mage would be able survive. No one beneath the Archmage rank would be able to survive a siege of a thousand Skeleton Warriors, that was a sea of undeads. If one tried to surrender… Well… They would be drowning.

The only thing Lin Yun could do was to raise his casting speed to its pinnacle and overwork his Magic Array to keep casting Fire Magic continuously. It was a method Lin Yun wasn't completely clueless about as he recalled the knowledge he had on Flame Tyrant Max.
