255 Red Crystal (1/2)

What did that mean?

This meant that these two radiant gems were actually dispensable. They were only there to amplify the power of the staff. The really important part of these two magic staves were the staves!

As a peak Master Alchemist, Lin Yun could definitely determine that only the gems had been damaged, the staves were untouched.

Lin Yun had no reason to refuse such a gift.

The array inscribed were exceptionally mysterious and deciphering them would be very strenuous even with Lin Yun's deep knowledge. This reinforced Lin Yun's assumptions that these two magic staves had most likely been True Spirit Magic Tools at their peak, but the two Augments gems were already destroyed, and as the years passed, the Magic Incarnation had long since dissipated in the void, making them fall from their True Spirit rank.

But True Spirit Magic Tools were still True Spirit Magic Tools.

As long as the core arrays weren't damaged, these two True Spirit Magic Tools could recover to their peak, it might just cost a bit.

In any case, since Lin Yun already encountered it, he would naturally not let these slip by.

He controlled the vine coiled around his leg and brushed past the Silver Dragon's corpse once again. He took advantage of the corpse having yet to decay to grab the two magic staves before ferociously pulling them out of the corpse.

Lin Yun didn't tarry after finishing this, he chanted a few words and dragged himself to the Planar Path.

Right after Lin Yun pulled the magic staves out of the Silver Dragon's body, the corpse decayed. Just like the Three-Headed Golden Dragon, the scales withered and the bones rotted. Before Lin Yun could even reach the Planar Path, the corpse turned to dust in the void.

'I truly wonder what happened…' Lin Yun inwardly sighed as he returned to the Planar Path. An esteemed Chromatic Dragon, one of the peak existence in regards to magic, became this frail after that war and ended up as specks of dust in the void...

'Shit!' As Lin Yun was inwardly sighing, a bright light flew near him.

That light was too strange.

After all, no matter how faint the light was, it would be like a scorching sun in this boundless darkness, it would be impossible to not sense it.

But Lin Yun hadn't noticed that light before, there had been no sign of its trajectory before, yet it had already reached his side when Lin Yun noticed it.

Lin Yun subconsciously dodged.

The few of them were as weak as ants in this cemetery, if not for the Planar Path's protection, one shard casually floating over could kill them on the spot.

Especially now that Lin Yun was still outside the protection of the Planar Path. If something hit him, no one would be able to save him.

However...

Lin Yun had forgotten something.

His movements depended on the vine coiled around him, and even if he could control the vine like an arm, he still had to sent the command first before it took action, so there was a delay. This was unavoidable.

Ultimately, this delay put Lin Yun in a bad situation.

Lin Yun quickly reacted and the vine quickly swung, but that was too late. Lin Yun felt a sharp pain on his stomach.

”Shit!” Lin Yun cursed.

He already where the issue was.

But the question was, what was it?

That light struck Lin Yun in the chest. It felt as if he had been hit by a rock and as if all his bones snapped. He let out a groan as he spat out blood.

'Fucking hell…' Lin Yun subconsciously felt his chest with his hand. Fortunately he hadn't been cut, he instead felt something very cold. He quickly looked up to see what it was while controlling the vine to bring him back.

”What's going on?” Solomon and Lys were both flustered when they saw Lin Yun getting injured. He was the most important person of the trip, if anything happened to him, they might not be able to return alive.

Just returning to Noscent would be a difficult problem.

”It's fine…” Fortunately, Lin Yun's complexion improved after spatting that mouthful of blood, he regained his smooth breathing, and just to be safe, Lin Yun drank a bottle of Health Potion before resting for ten minutes.

But he still couldn't help feeling dread while remembering that experience, 'Fortunately… Fortunately I haven't been hit by an equipment shard… It could have pierced my chest, or worse, directly shattered me.'

As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help being curious about that ice cold thing in his hand.

'What is this…' A red crystal was laying on Lin Yun's hand, it looked like a precious gem, but it was far from being as hard as a precious gem. Lin Yun tried to pinch it and the gem changed form.

It was fortunate that this red crystal was malleable.

Otherwise, based on its speed, Lin Yun wouldn't have been able to survive.

He wouldn't have been able to survive a huge hole in the chest, not in this place.

'Is it even a gem?'

Lin Yun looked at that red crystal, but he was clueless, 'What is that thing…'

Lin Yun didn't even know where that thing came from.

After all, he had the Magic Arrays activated and not even a speck of dust could escape his sight within several hundred meters, except that red crystal, how did it approach him?
