92 Undead Predator (1/2)

'This… Sounds a bit unreasonable…'

Everyone knew that the undead didn't fear death and couldn't succumb to fatigue. Even if they knew that a deathly trap awaited them, they would still jump in with both feet. Only stronger undead lifeforms could instill fear in an undead creature.

But did Lin Yun look like an undead lifeform?

'Could it be caused by the Sage Chapter? No, that's wrong…'

The Sage Chapter had been in his pocket all along.

This wasn't an ordinary pocket. It was one of the things that had been useful to him during his life back at the end of time, so when he transmigrated, one of the first items he personally enchanted was this black robe, and more importantly, its pockets. He used a total of three alchemy arrays on them. Besides temperature regulation in order to preserve potions, it also had the effect of sealing mana fluctuations.

The Sage Chapter had been in his pocket earlier and had been unable to absorb the Soul Fires, so how could it have affected the Skeleton Warriors?

In order to confirm his hypothesis, Lin Yun had to do a test. He first put the Sage Chapter on the ground and then used a delayed exploding Fire Bomb to lure in a Skeleton Warrior.

When one of them passed by, it completely ignored the Sage Chapter, not even giving it a passing glance.

After dealing with it by tossing out a Flame Spear, Lin Yun stooped down and retrieved the Sage Chapter. This test confirmed his previous hypothesis, that the Skeleton Warriors' fear was unrelated to the Sage Chapter.

'But if it's not the Sage Chapter, what is it?'

Lin Yun carefully recalled his recent adventures. The only matter related to the undead was the prince tomb in the Poison Fog Canyon, and the Death Garden contained within was the most suspicious.

But… the only thing he did at the Death Garden was retrieving the Sage Chapter...

'Hold on!' Lin Yun was startled as he thought of something. 'What if the Sage Chapter wasn't the only thing that came out of the Death Garden?'

'It's an ability! An ability I received from the Death Garden!'

As he started thinking of it that way, Lin Yun remembered one person.

After the Sovereign of Death Sandro, there was the 2nd powerhouse to conquer the Undead Plane, the Heaven Mage who withstood Sandro's Undead Legion by himself, Charles the Conqueror!

When he was 8 years old, his entire family was killed by Sandro's Undead Legion. Luckily, Charles had managed to escape and survive for ten years as one of the dregs of society. Clinging onto his hate of Sandro, he managed to become a Mage at the age of twenty. In reality, a 20-year-old Mage wasn't that special, and at the time, Charles could only enter a 2nd-tier mercenary group.

But it was within that 2nd-tier mercenary group that Charles soared. He became a Great Mage at 21, High Mage at 25, and he managed to enter the ranks of Archmages at 30.

Charles' legend started from that point on.
