96 Exposed (1/2)

Parts of the wall behind Lin Yun fell down as the light shone.

Immediately after, Lin Yun felt the ground shivering under his feet.

'What…' Lin Yun's eyes became round. What could create such a situation? What could cause an earthquake to occur in the cave?

It didn't take long for Lin Yun to come up with the answer.

'Bone Devil!'

'This is definitely the Bone Devil waking up, what else could create such a big movement in this black wasteland? I celebrated too soon, I was so happy after getting that staff… So the damn Bone Devil woke up to cool me down...'

Lin Yun almost broke into a run. But a mere Great Mage in his current state was but a dish in front of a Bone Devil. If he was too slow, he might lose a few body parts. If he didn't take advantage of the Bone Devil's momentary torpor after just waking up, would he have to just wait for death?

'No!' Just as Lin Yun was about to move, he realized his mistake. The more anxious he was, the faster he would lose his mind. The Bone Devil was awakening outside. If he thoughtlessly ran outside, wouldn't he run into it? The Bone Devil wouldn't have to do anything, Lin Yun would be serving himself up for breakfast.

'This isn't like last time…'

Last time he had been able to rely on Elemental Incarnation and the sea of fire to break away from the Bone Devil. He didn't have sufficient preparation this time. If he couldn't break free from the Bone Devil in under an hour, wouldn't he become stuck in the Bone Plane?

'This is no good, I can't run outside.'

Lin Yun controlled the Light and quickly searched around the cave before finding a narrow passage on the other side and immediately rushed into that passage.

Lin Yun wasn't planning to get away through this route. That would be almost impossible. An underground cave like this could lead anywhere, whether to the surface or to a dead end. If Lin Yun could choose where the path led, he would definitely choose to escape to the surface, but he couldn't be that lucky.

Lin Yun only planned to hide in that passage, waiting until the Bone Devil disappeared before looking for a way to return to Noscent. As for where that path led, it didn't matter to Lin Yun.

After going through the passage, Lin Yun stopped controlling the Light and had it float two meters in front of him while he held the magic staff with his now empty right hand.

Besides the Sage Chapter, the most powerful item in Lin Yun's hands was that Spiritual Magic Staff, even if the spirituality of the staff was still slumbering,

Lin Yun could clearly feel the mana coming from the Burning Spirit Tree in his hand pouring into the Elemental Amber continuously. That feeling could be compared to a beautiful note of music. It made people unconsciously feel intoxicated. But this time, Lin Yun had no time to appreciate its beauty. He quickly took out the Sage Chapter, storing two Fire Arrow spells in a row.

Lin Yun relaxed when he saw the two Fire Arrow symbols. The thousands of Soul Fires he had harvested truly weren't wasted. Those Soul Fires were already enough for two Fire Arrow Spells to be upgraded to Ultimate Spells.

These two Ultimate Spells were the last card Lin Yun prepared. If the Bone Devil followed his aura into the cave, then Lin Yun would have to do his best with what he had. Under normal circumstances, Lin Yun's current strength wasn't enough to contend with the Bone Devil. He could only rely on the narrow terrain as well as the two Ultimate Spells stored in the Sage Chapter.

After finishing his preparations, Lin Yun stopped and took a deep breath as he calmly waited for the final outcome.

There were only two possibilities right now.
