586 Death Redemption (1/2)

Even with his Magic Array, Lin Yun could only shorten the long and complicated incantation to 6 seconds, moreover, the area targeted by the spell couldn't be moved once it was cast. During complicated battles, especially against a powerhouse like the Death Knight, standing and casting for six seconds was no different from courting death.

Not to mention the fact that Hellfire had stringent requirements on the density and activity of the fire elements, but the casting location also had to be chosen at the start and couldn't be changed afterwards.

During battles, opponents wouldn't stop in the same place for six seconds to become targets. But the power of hellfire made up for these limitations, making it the most formidable special fire-type magic.

But if an enemy couldn't be hit, then no matter how formidable the spell was, it was useless! By the time the casting was over, the enemy would have already escaped far out of its range.

The relative narrowness of this hold worked to the spell's advantage, and it was formidable enough to inflict serious damage to the Death Knight, which was why Lin Yun chose it.

With the Undead Eye, the damage caused by the Low Tier Fire Spells was insignificant and couldn't even keep up with the Death Knight's rate of recovery. A powerful killing spell was a must.

The spell lasted for six seconds, and during that time, the screams of the Death Knight became weaker and weaker. When the Hellfire disappeared, it revealed an incomparably miserable Death Knight.

Its armor was tattered all over and it was covered in burn marks, the entire left leg looking rough, just like coal. Half of the Death Knight's mount also burned, its phosphorus fire flickering as if about to extinguish.

The situation was set!

But before Lin Yun could attack the Undead Eye, he sensed the surrounding death energy flaring up and converging towards the Death Knight.

The Death Knight raised a sword with a rune glowing on it. Lin Yun was startled as the death energy converged in a pitch-black ball.

The black sphere emitted a dark light, and the left leg of the Death Knight instantly recovered while the damaged armor once again became shiny. The mount that had been on the verge of death let out a neigh and its body instantly looked healthy and full of vitality.

The Death Knight that had been on the verge of destruction recovered completely, at the price of the rune on the sword dimming and losing its power.

Lin Yun paled.

”Death Redemption! This is f*cking cheating!”

Lin Yun's expression was terrible. He had racked his brain and released more Low Tier Fire Spells to further raise the density and activity of the surrounding fire elements. He also had to continue dodging… Earlier, he had used no less than a few dozen Flame Flashes just to create that moment of hesitation to fight for two seconds of casting time.

He had calculated everything to hit the Death Knight with Hellfire and burn it to a crisp.

But who would have thought that one of the Death Knight's three spells would be Death Redemption?

Death Redemption… Very few Death Knights had that spell. The probability was so small that it was negligible. Even during the peak of the Magic Era, when the Undead Plane was being conquered, only three Death Knights had possessed that ability, and those three Death Knights were far more terrifying than the one in front of him.

Death Redemption was an instant cast Runic Spell that could cure the Undead. But there was also a difference in might between different instances of the spell, and the one that was just used was too ridiculous… The Death Knight had been on its deathbed, yet it instantly recovered to its peak. This meant that as long as it couldn't be killed before the cooldown of its Runic Spell was up, the Death Knight was practically unkillable!

”Stupid Human, you have thoroughly infuriated me!” The Death Knight bellowed, another rune shining on the one-handed greatsword.

Lin Yun's eyelids twitched as he watched it with a pale face.

The legendary Death Redemption, the most powerful situational spell, had appeared. Seeing this 2nd Runic Spell, Lin Yun couldn't help being worried that he would hit the jackpot again. If that 2nd Runic Spell was just as formidable, it would be his end.

Death Redemption had been studied during the peak of the Magic Era by Necromancers. Even the most powerful Death Redemption needed at least 6 minutes before it could come off cooldown.

This also meant that Lin Yun had six minutes to get rid of this Death Knight, or else he would end up wasting all his mana fighting it!

Six minutes...

Lin Yun couldn't help feeling that it was a pain. This was definitely an impossible task.
