591 Devour (1/2)

Lagulin's mount was the first to act. It bit down the skull of the skeletal horse on the ground and devoured its soul fires.

This was an ability that every Undead possessed, Undead Devouring.

The world of the Undead was originally that ruthless; there was a simple rule of the devourer and the devoured...

But most of the time, it was Higher Undead devouring Lesser Undead.

Just like in Lin Yun's Bone Plane, where the Bone Devil could casually eat any Skeleton Warrior on the Black Wasteland to recover its health, but the Skeleton Warriors could only dream of devouring the Bone Devil...

It was the same on the rumored Undead Plane, just crueler and simpler.

Ranks were strict in the Undead Plane and a Lesser Undead devouring a Higher Undead was almost impossible. Even without the gap in power, just the pressure of levels was enough to make Lesser Undead shiver when faced with Higher Undead. Let alone soul fire devouring, just moving a finger would be very challenging.

But, the Summons of the Book of Death, Barton and Lagulin, were clearly exempt from this.

Because they had been summoned from the Book of Death, they completely listened to Lin Yun's command without even considering the matter of level difference. Even when faced with an Orachiss, they would dare to charge at it. It was needless to say that they would do the same against a Death Knight struggling at its deathbed.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded...

The two lower-level Undead Summons actually gorged themselves on a higher-level Undead, gleefully devouring its soul fire. If it weren't for the fact that the Undead were lacking when it came to emotions, these two might have expressed great joy.

As it shouted miserably, the Death Knight's soul fire turned into two faint blue flames and flowed out of its facial cavities to Lagulin and Barton.

In just a dozen seconds, the Death Knight's shouts became lower and lower before finally dying out.

Its soul fire and been devoured by Barton and Lagulin.

After devouring the soul fire of a level 38 Death Knight, the death energy covering these two starting bubbling, and their aura became more and more powerful.

It looked like these two would advance after digesting the soul fire they had consumed.

The level 36 Lagulin would advance to level 37, and if Barton, who was level 37, couldn't advance, the Lich would at least reach the peak of level 37.

After all, starting from level 35, each advancement would require a lot more effort. For Archmages, the 5th Rank was a huge watershed.

The increase in power that each rank or level brought was huge. It was also the reason that Lin Yun hadn't summoned Lagulin or Barton in the battle.

Although it looked like they weren't far off from the level 38 Death Knight, the difference in power would greatly pressure them.

In battle, they would have been chopped into pieces by the Death Knight, wasting their mana for nothing.

Moreover, Lin Yun had no mana to waste in this battle.

Lin Yun cheerfully looked at Lagulin and Barton. The difference between levels 36 and 37 was huge. Once Lagulin leveled up, his power would definitely skyrocket.

Especially since that level 38 Death Knight was very special. Its power was a lot higher than that of an ordinary Undead Horseman. And as another Undead Horseman, Lagulin might awaken a Death Knight Runic Ability by absorbing the soul fire, and that would definitely be a huge profit.

Lin Yun cheerfully put away the two Higher Undead. He felt that the Truth Chapter wasn't behaving itself, so he didn't flip to its page. As long as he didn't open it, it would be unable to escape. Moreover, he had plenty of methods to make the Truth Chapter behave.

Once the battle was over, Reina didn't even care about her appearance as she sat on the ground to rest. Xiuban was sprawled on his back like a dead fish, not moving at all. Eventually, the sounds of his snores echoed throughout the hold, making Lin Yun not know whether to laugh or cry.

If that puppet hadn't been made with the Heaven Puppet as its foundation and a Hydra Heart that had been reinforced by God Blood, it would have fallen apart after fighting for such a long time.

Lin Yun was rather pale. He had used too much energy during the battle and had absorbed more than half of the mana of a spirit mana crystal.

Shawn hadn't answered for a long time. It was a rare occurrence for him not to come and demand his rewarded mana crystal. The Draconic Staff's Incarnation also didn't react. The consumption indeed hadn't been small.

Enderfa had yet to return to his Magic Tool, and his three faces looked exhausted. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had only used Low Tier Fire Spells, and the Spell Wheel had a huge Elemental Amber. Otherwise, Enderfa would have also needed to return within to slumber.

As the Death Knight died, Enderfa's three faces watched the one-handed sword with attention.

”Merlin, that sword is something good, let me study it.”
