91 Fear (1/2)

After a short spatial distortion, Lin Yun once again set foot onto the Bone Plane.

The dark crimson crescent moon had already fallen, but the gloomy sky was still giving off a suffocating feeling. As a sea of black clouds was covering the land and cold breezes carrying a rotten smell were blowing past, Lin Yun couldn't help pulling at his black robe. The soft and damp soil under his feet that was mixed with rotten weeds and dead leaves was emitting a disgusting stench.

The surroundings of the Dark Iron Vein were filled with a sea of Skeleton Warriors, and although the Bone Devil was still sleeping underground, the death aura it was emitting was tangible. Even Lin Yun felt that the atmosphere was suffocating. This kind of high-level undead was very powerful, its strength nearing the High Mage Rank, and it could create a crushing pressure simply by emitting its death aura.

Fortunately, Lin Yun didn't have any intention to provoke the Bone Devil on this trip.

Lin Yun's target was the sea of Skeleton Warriors.

Lin Yun had cast Detect Undead the second his feet touched the ground.

'Ten thousand Undead Warriors at the very least…' Lin Yun was a Great Mage now, so his detection spells were far sharper than before, and he also had a better understanding of the black wasteland. In a short moment, all the nearby undead creatures appeared in Lin Yun's mind.

The entire black wasteland and over ten thousand Skeleton Warriors were divided into several dozen areas of various sizes. Apart from the Bone Devil's area, Lin Yun marked the others as hunting grounds.

The first one Lin Yun went for was the nearest area from the Plane Path. Nearly fifty Skeleton Warriors were gathered there.

Lin Yun chanted a few lines and a Flame Barrier instantly rose up, followed by a Flame Burst landing exactly in the path of the Skeleton Warriors. An explosion thundered out as flames blossomed amidst the dozens of skeletons.

At that moment, only flames could be seen in the sky as they fell onto the black wasteland. About a dozen skeletons were unable to move, and they eventually turned to ashes from the unforgiving heat.

Right as he cast that Flame Burst spell, Lin Yun was already prepared. Two lights, one blue and one red, were spiralling around him, the Ice Fire Shield. Lin Yun knew that a Flame Barrier couldn't completely stop the undead lifeforms, which were unafraid of death. He would have to endure the crazy counterattack from the Skeleton Warriors now that they had been alerted.

Sure enough, a dozen skeletons were already on the move before the flames of the Flame Burst fell down. The flaming barrier was unable to stop their path. After initially losing some among their number, they quickly rushed out of the Flame Barrier's encirclement. They were less than fifty meters away from Lin Yun.

Lin Yun kept chanting, casting one Flame Spear after the other at the Skeleton Warriors at the forefront. He then started to retreat while preparing another Flame Burst.

Lin Yun had only been using Fire Magic so far.

Those combat techniques came from – Explanation of the Max Formula –. The Flame Tyrant believed that in a fight against the undead, it was better for one to use Fire Magic, because firstly, Fire Magic itself was the bane of the undead, and secondly, using a great amount of Fire Spells would rouse the Fire Elements in the surroundings, increasing the elemental affinity for fire magic.
