655 Piercing Arrow (1/2)

The range of the defense kept decreasing, and even Zeuss was participating in the defense with cold sweat.

After Reina regained some strength, she joined the defense once again.

Even so, it was only able to block the Orachiss' attacking spells just ten meters away from the group.

After three minutes, the sound of Lin Yun chanting could be heard from behind.

His Draconic Staff shone, and five Askrim Gates appeared in front of everyone, blocking all of the Orachiss' spells.

”Hurry up!” Lin Yun shouted in a low voice.

Everyone looked back and saw a tunnel the size of a person dug into the wall of fire. The four walls of the tunnel were made out of Ice Shields that were temporarily withstanding the ashen flames.

But they could all see that those Ice Shields were quickly melting and that it wouldn't take long for the entire tunnel to collapse.

As Lin Yun stood next to everyone, they could clearly feel that his mana was quickly being consumed...

Everyone rushed through this passage, and within three seconds, they made it out of the Ash Cage.

By the time Lin Yun rushed out, the tunnel collapsed and the ashen flames filled the hole like gray lava.

Syudos, who had turned into a ball of fire, kept switching between ash-gray and red fire, a rich aura of ashen flames spreading from his body. His aura was a lot stronger than it had been earlier.

Lin Yun let out a relieved sigh now that they'd finally escaped...

The Ash Cage would completely collapse if the Orachiss cast Apocalypse. But this Orachiss was smarter and more savage. It was trying to trap all its prey before feasting.

”Thankfully, I sent Syudos to the Bone Plane,” Lin Yun said while rejoicing.

The ordinary Flame Spirits would remain ordinary because they could hardly grow.

But Upper Rank Flame Spirits had the ability to devour fire. At first, Syudos was barely comparable to a level 30.

After being sent to the Bone Plane, Syudos had been crazily devouring Soul Fires, which had let him advance to level 32.

This was because those Soul Fires were too weak… Although they could be considered a type of flame, because their rank was too low, they barely helped Syudos grow.

This was also the reason that Lin Yun had thrown him into the Bone Plane to clean it. After being discarded for so long, Syudos wasn't in a good mood.

It was like eating flavorless bread every day for a few months. Anyone would be fed up with that, especially someone used to eating delicacies. Having him go a few months with bland bread would definitely push him to his limits.

After spending so much time in the Bone Plane, Syudos now had the power to devour those ashen flames. If he hadn't become stronger beforehand, he might have ended up being consumed instead. This was a difference in essence.

How could Syudos not covet that wall of ashen flames? But the flames were too powerful, and Syudos simply didn't dare to devour them. If he forcibly tried to, he would be submerged by them and might even be burnt to death, despite being an Upper Rank Flame Spirit.

As for Lin Yun, he simply couldn't touch the wall formed out of ashen flames. Just like ordinary people, he had no way to go through, so his only option was to dig his way through.

Syudos couldn't devour the entire wall, but Lin Yun could help him withstand the pressure and forcibly break apart the wall. At that time, Syudos would be able to devour the part of the wall that Lin Yun had cut off.

By coordinating their actions, they were able to form a tunnel through that wall.

The Orachiss naturally wouldn't let Lin Yun dig a tunnel so easily, so Enderfa and the others had to block the attacks.

They couldn't properly contend against it, but by using all the methods they had to resist, their power rose, and they managed to barely hold on.

But it was nothing compared to the pressure Lin Yun was under.

He was resisting the pressure of the ashen flames all by himself, while Syudos was eating his fill.

He used Mana Shield because it was the best option against continuous pressure. As long as his mana wasn't completely consumed, the Mana Shield wouldn't dissipate.

But even then, Lin Yu's mana had been used up three times!

Without the help of the Demiplane, allowing him to recover his mana instantly, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure of the ashen flames!

This was something that only a Heaven Rank powerhouse could cross, the pressure alone was enough to suppress a 9th Rank Archmage to death.

Moreover, nothing could disturb him during the process. Lin Yun wouldn't have been able to resist the Orachiss' power if it had reached this place… He and Syudos would have been crushed to death.
