100 Black Flower (1/2)
Lin Yun rested for a full ten minutes.
After ten minutes, Lin Yun had recovered from his state of weakness.
After feeling better, the first thing he did wasn't to check the damage of the alchemy puppet, but rather to look at the corpse of the Bone Devil. To Lin Yun, the biggest reward of this trip was getting rid of the Bone Devil ahead of schedule. Now, not only could initiate the mining of the Dark Iron Vein a month in advance, but he could also push the plan to get the Book of Death ahead by a month.
Although the Soul Fire had already been destroyed, as Lin Yun crouched next to the Bone Devil's corpse, he could still feel the death energy leaking it. The amount of death energy that was still left after the destruction of the Soul Fire was extremely shocking.
Lin Yun had already been mentally prepared regarding the power of the Bone Devil, so he hadn't placed his hopes on the Undead Predator ability. He wasn't Charles the Conqueror, who had exterminated all the undead of the Undead Plane. Lin Yun's Undead Predator ability would currently show some effects against low-level undead beings at most. Wanting to intimidate an existence on par with a High Mage like a Bone Devil… Maybe after he conquered the Bone Plane.
Lin Yun had more trust in the mana he controlled than in an ability that he had yet to master.
'Sure enough…' After crouching by the Bone Devil, Lin Yun quickly found the things he wanted.
Lin Yun found the Dark Fire Bullets that never left the body of the Bone Devil.
Those Dark Fire Bullets shouldn't be underestimated, as the existence of the bullets was the main reason that a Bone Devil could contend with a High Mage. They were condensed from death energy and had surrounded the Bone Devil for who knows how many years. They were already infected with the characteristic corpse poison of undead lifeforms. In Lin Yun's eyes, each of these Dark Fire Bullets was comparable to a Splendid Magic Tool.
They were single-use items with power that wasn't inferior to that of a Spiritual Magic Tool by much. Only something like that monstrous alchemy puppet built from Gold Essence could handle a few Dark Fire Bullets without collapsing.
If Lin Yun tried to take the hits, let alone a few, he wouldn't even be able to endure one.
Lin Yun found 23 Dark Fire Bullets next to the Bone Devil.
After the death of the Bone Devil, these Dark Fire Bullets lost the source of their death energy and turned jet-black. They were cold and rough, hardly eye-catching, but Lin Yun knew that these unremarkable bullets could still burst with shocking firepower as long as they were supplied with a bit of mana.
Feeling very satisfied with the the acquisition, Lin Yun put the bullets into his pocket. He also did not forget to tear off the two Bone Blades and set them up on the alchemy puppet's arms.
That alchemy puppet modeled after the Gaugass Battlemages no longer looked as mighty as when Lin Yun first saw it. Its Gold Essence plate armor had been deformed from the Bone Devil's blows to the point that it looked rather funny now. The scariest part was the Gold Essence frame, which was a bit twisted. It could no longer move as nimbly as before.
Lin Yun couldn't find a good way to deal with the damage. This was the Bone Plane, after all. If someone happened to be looking for an undead lifeform, they would easily find it here, but there were no easily usable repair materials here. For lack of a better solution, Lin Yun could only set the alchemy puppet aside and think of a way to repair it after going back to Noscent.
