433 How Could It Be? (1/2)

They all felt fearful facing the former Heaven Mage, Baiers, they couldn't suppress this fear coming from the depths of their souls.

They had already experienced Baiers' power in the Line Canyon as he killed those frightening level 37 and 38 magic beasts in mere seconds.

What about them?

”Hold on… He isn't completely in!” Dean was looking at the entrance in shock. There seemed to be a mysterious force twisting at the entrance, tightly restricting the doors. No matter how much Baiers struggled, he couldn't even get half of his body in.

It wasn't only Dean; the others also noticed that anomaly and immediately looked at the entrance in shock. After all, even if Baiers wasn't at the Heaven Rank while in the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation, he was infinitely close to Heaven Rank, so he could easily deal with 9th Rank Archmages.

The mysterious power at the entrance was tightly suppressing Baiers, somehow making him unable to enter. They all wondered who had left that restriction.

The one responsible was definitely a Heaven Rank powerhouse.

”Fortunately, that mysterious power is dealing with Baiers for now… Otherwise, we would…” Rolf's face had turned pale a while ago, and beads of sweat could be seen sliding down his forehead.

But before he could finish his words, a dense aura of death filled every corner of the main hall, startling them all once more.

A huge Undead Essence, emitting fluorescent light and leaving a black misty trail behind, was quickly rushing towards Baiers.

This was the Undead Essence from the 2nd Floor!

”After fusing with that Undead Essence, Baiers will probably regain his power as a Heaven Rank powerhouse! We will all die once he crosses the entrance!” Weiss nervously said as he tightly held the staff in his hand. He looked at Baiers and the Undead Essence, his eyes filling with despair.

Weiss wasn't the only one, either. They had all cooperated to intercept that Undead Essence in the 2nd Floor, only to fail.

Everything would be over the second the Undead Essence reached Baiers' hand.

They thought that they could leave the tower by defeating the skeleton and taking the crown, but they hadn't expected such an outcome.

They ultimately failed to escape.

But shocking mana fluctuations suddenly appeared, silently rising up as a frightening aura spread in all directions, shaking the entire hall.

That power was utterly terrifying...

It seemed to belong to a powerful existence that was growing even stronger. This aura was so frightening that they all felt as if they couldn't breathe. But what truly stunned them was that those mana fluctuations felt very familiar.

Mafa Merlin!

They all looked at Lin Yun when they found out that the mana fluctuations were actually coming from him.

Lin Yun didn't pay attention to their shocked expressions. He held the Book of Death, and formidable death energy emitted from it, letting out a pitch-black luster. The Doom Staff, the Soul Walker, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel all hovered around his body. These Magic Tools had all dimmed, because Lin Yun had absorbed their mana.

”Rumble…” The frightening mana fluctuations emitted from his body were quickly intensifying and echoing as they hit the ceiling, letting out thunderous noises. Just these waves of mana fluctuations were enough to turn a High Mage to ashes. Even Delson and Weiss paled in front of this, unable to move.

Only Lin Yun knew what was happening. His strength was sharply increasing because the mana within the three True Spirit Magic Tools was enough to push him into the Archmage realm.

He had no other choice but to do this now.

If Baiers fused with that Undead Essence, he would quickly regain the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse and be able to enter the hall, killing them all.

Lin Yun could feel that he was at the Archmage realm, but this was only temporary, and it had been at the cost of all the mana of the three True Spirit Magic Tools.

This was the only way he could contend against Baiers.

He wanted to use the real power of the Book of Death...
