Chapter 806: Count Yourself Lucky (1/2)

Haste, Sharp Mind, Giant Strength, Rock Armor...

He cast a series of buffs to strengthen himself. Then, the Lightning Spear in his hand became illusory and slowly disappeared. In the end, it looked as if there was only lightning flickering in his hands.

An afterimage flashed, and Kempes disappeared once again.

Lin Yun frowned and once again used Flame Flash to disappear from his spot. The next moment, Kempes appeared there holding a bolt of lightning that seemed to have doubled or tripled in length and made a hole where Lin Yun had just been.

A loud explosion thundered out as a large hole that was ten meters in diameter appeared.

Kempes chased after Lin Yun five times in a row without stopping, but Lin Yun knew that with that guy's physical strength, nothing would change even if he fought for an hour.

This kind of speed was the reason that Gaugass Battlemages were so terrifying. The former Gaugass King, Jason Wagrein, was also such a speed-type Battlemage. Jason Wagrein could move several kilometers in an instant and impale the head of a Heaven Rank Mage.

He would waste no time tearing through the other side's defenses. Such a terrifying enemy was the nightmare of all mages.

”Damn b*stard, don't tell me you only know how to jump around! Do you have no pride? Where is your pride as a mage? Fight me!” Kempes angrily shouted.

He was fast and strong, but none of his attacks could land on Lin Yun.

After dodging for a while, Lin Yun had determined that Kempes had learnt Jason Wagrein's fighting style and was continuously strengthening his speed to tear through his opponent's defenses. This was a very powerful style, but it wasn't unbeatable.

”As you wish…”

Lin Yun stopped, and a huge wheel shadow appeared behind him. Boundless runes flowed out from it while a glaring light shone at the tip of the Draconic Staff.

He formed a huge column of dark red flames, and Kempes' figure suddenly appeared within that fire. The tip of his Lightning Spear blossomed with glaring lightning as it tore a hole through the flames, his spear still firmly stabbing towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun remained motionless as if he really didn't plan to dodge. This made Kempes feel overjoyed, and he instantly poured his mana into the Lightning Spear; all the mana defending his body was poured in.

In an instant, the lightning bolt in Kempes' hand suddenly grew to eight meters in length as it ruthlessly stabbed towards Lin Yun's defenses.

The Lava Shield in front of Lin Yun was instantly torn apart, but behind it was an incorporeal yet tangible Runic Shield on which countless runes were flowing. The boundless runes were crazily rotating and charging towards the center of the Runic Shield, where there was a mysterious rune blossoming with glaring light.

The lightning kept distorting while madly colliding with Lin Yun's Runic Shield. It was as if there were countless blacksmiths forging with their hammers at the same time.

A deafening sound echoed as the surrounding land kept shaking.

After more than a second, the strength of the lightning attack started rapidly declining and the lightning bolt also shrank.

Kempes was shocked as he shouted in alarm, ”How is that possible!? How could my Piercing Lightning be blocked?”

Piercing Lightning was the most powerful ability of Gaugass Battlemages when fighting against mages. It was rumored that when Jason Wagrein used this ability, he could tear a long crack through space, and no one could defend against that power.

Lin Yun sneered, ”You are really naive! You really thought that I can't block just because I'm dodging? Gaugass Battlemages might be powerful, but they aren't unequalled in power. Could it be that you don't know about Runic Shields?”

The defensive effect of Runic Shields had nothing to do with rank. All that mattered was how many runes the user had amassed.

Lin Yun already had several hundred thousand of them when he was at the Great Mage realm. This was dozens of times to a hundred times more than those at the same realm. After advancing to the Archmage realm, the number of runes he possessed was already counted in millions. Such a terrifying number, coupled with the huge increase in ability after breaking through, immediately made his Runic Shield's defensive ability reach terrifying heights.

In the Archmage realm, almost no one could tear through Lin Yun's Runic Shield. Aside from those Peak 9th Rank Archmages, Lin Yun didn't have to worry about his Runic Shield breaking from their attacks.

The method that Gaugass Battlemages used to tear through shields was to rely on the combination of their formidable strength and the instant burst of their mana to create an almost unequalled power.

If they couldn't instantly tear through the shields, then it could be said that the shield was basically unbreakable.

Kempes clenched his teeth. He didn't dare to believe the scene in front of his eyes. That Runic Shield wasn't an ordinary Runic Shield... It was entirely made up of runes!

With swaying steps, Kempes swung his Lightning Spear at Lin Yun.

The lightning bolt in his hand instantly rose and struck Lin Yun's shield. The moment it hit the Runic Shield, the lightning bolt coiled around Lin Yun and a black spear suddenly appeared behind him. It followed the movement of the lightning bolt and attacked Lin Yun from behind.
