425 Lich Barton (1/2)

That change was too weird...

He obviously slammed the Undead Essence into the Book of Death, wanting to have the Book of Death absorb it, but he hadn't expected this to happen.

This wasn't logical...

Lin Yun stood there, holding the Book of Death in a daze, a grave expression on his face. The change that happened to the Book of Death was completely beyond his expectations. The Book of Death frequently absorbed Undead Essence before, but this strange phenomenon had never occurred before. Even the notes Bane left behind didn't mention this.

'Right…'

He suddenly recalled that before they arrived to the Tulan Mountain Range, his Book of Death only possessed the Sage Chapter and the Truth Chapter. Now, there was also the Element Chapter. The changes that occurred to the Book of Death might very possibly be related to the Element Chapter. After realizing this, he felt that this change might be something positive.

After taking a deep breath, he tried to pour mana into the picture of the Undead Horseman. That wisp of mana was instantly absorbed.

”Roar…”

A deafening roar echoed as a three meters tall Undead Horseman emitting a frightening aura appeared out of nowhere next to Lin Yun.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Damn it…”

Lin Yun paled, but he didn't hesitate. Three Ice Walls instantly appeared alongside a Runic Shield. But after casting these defensive spells, he discovered that this revived Undead Horseman didn't plan on attacking him.

'What's going on…'

He looked down and found out that the picture of the Undead Horseman in the Book of Death had disappeared. Lin Yun then looked at the Undead Horseman with an extremely surprised face. He just noticed that a spiritual connection was established with the Undead Horseman.

This meant that the Undead Horseman existed as a Summon and would obey his orders.

It's just that a level 36 Summon was a bit too powerful… It would make many mages crazy with envy, even at the peak of the Magic Era.

He was almost certain that the strength of this Undead Horseman was comparable to 6th Rank Sword Saint.

”Return…”

Lin Yun reluctantly severed the connection and the Undead Horseman turned into a death mist before entering the Book of Death and condensed back into the Undead Horseman's picture. During those few dozen seconds the Undead Horseman had been summoned, Lin Yun had felt the huge consumption of maintaining the Undead Horseman.

'It looks like I have to speed up the progress on the Bone Plane…' Lin Yun bitterly smiled. With a Flame Flash and the Book of Death in his hand, Lin Yun rushed towards the undead sea, throwing Flame Burst after Flame Burst. Each Flame Burst would turn a vast amount of skeletons into ashes.

With the change in the Book of Death, the death power it used up increased by a few levels, the Undead Essence produced by the Black Wasteland was no longer enough.

As the Skeleton Warriors collapsed, one Undead Essence after the other rushed out of the ashes, pulled by that mysterious force. But the Book of Death was more overbearing and tyrannical than that mysterious force, whenever an Undead Essence appeared, it would be transformed into death power and stored.

With a short incantation, a wisp of flame turned into a fire arrow, flying toward the final Bone Devil and exploding onto its skull, scattering sparks everywhere. Shattered bones spread everywhere as the Bone Devil didn't even have time to roar before its Soul Fire darkened.

”Phew…”

They all sighed in relief. This three hours long fight finally ended and close to ten thousand Skeleton Warriors as well as Bone Devils were destroyed. A sea of bones spread around them, giving off an eerie feeling as the surroundings were shrouded in an aura of death.

”Damnit, how come so many undead appeared…” Weiss cursed loudly before sitting on the ground, still panting and fearful. A three hours fight was quite long, even with the power of a 5th Rank Archmage.

But his situation was quite special, he had to muster a large amount of mana to block those two Withering Flames' corrosion at all times.

In fact, the others were relatively better than him, excluding Lin Yun of course...

Weiss recalled that extremely intense fight and his heart shook, especially the end of that fight, that ring emitting the black light almost scared him to death.
