Chapter 807: Crippling One’s Mana (1/2)

No matter how many powerful spells there were, they couldn't injure him in the slightest. Even under the flood of spells, he could swing his Lightning Spear freely, but now, he couldn't do anything in that swamp.

The Bursting Flames that he could normally endure would at most create some burnt marks on his armor, which could be easily fixed. But now, they were nudging him towards his death.

With every Bursting Flames, his body would sink a bit deeper into the swamp...

And as his body sank deeper and deeper, the power that he could exert kept reducing.

At the start, his struggles could still create waves on the surface of the quagmire, but now, even if he used all his strength, he could only make the area slightly tremble.

”You can't kill me! You'll die if you kill me! And not just you, your entire Clan, relatives, and friends will face the retaliation of the Gaugass Battlemages!

”Everyone knows that I came here, yes, they know that I went to the Poison Mist Valley in order to kill you. You are done for if you kill me!

”I'm the most talented of the Gaugass Battlemages, and my teacher is the leader of the army. If you kill me, my teacher and the entire army will avenge me, and you'll be doomed!

”You are powerful, but not every member of your clan is as powerful as you are. If you let me go, I'll tell you who hired me to kill you. I'll act as if today's matter didn't happen, and I definitely won't retaliate…”

Kempes raised his Lightning Spear to block the Bursting Flames while hurriedly begging for forgiveness. He could already feel his mana being absorbed, and the deeper he sank, the faster it was happening. The swamp felt like a bottomless abyss that slowly pulled him down.

That kind of despair was like poison continuously corroding his heart, and at the same time, he could even feel the poisonmist starting to corrode his body. If this continued, he would undoubtedly die...

Lin Yun sneered as he looked at Kempes. That Gaugass Battlemage was powerful, but he would die under the Engulfing Quagmire. Strength wasn't the key. Pure strength brought power, but it also brought disaster. If a brainless idiot had the power of a Heaven Rank, he still wouldn't be able to properly utilize it.

The Bursting Flames kept falling like iron hammers, pounding down on Kempes. After a few seconds, only his hands and head remained above the Engulfing Quagmire.

Kempes was pale, and his forehead was filled with cold sweat. Not a hint of pride or arrogance could be seen on his face… There was only endless fear.

He could clearly feel his mana being absorbed even faster, and as his mana was absorbed, the quagmire became bigger and bigger while pulling harder and harder. He was simply unable to display the power he was so proud of, and his stamina was quickly being exhausted.

When he sank completely into the quagmire, he would be no different from an ordinary person that suffocated to death after being buried alive. This was a most depressing death for a powerhouse.

Kempes shouted in horror and begged for forgiveness, but Lin Yun remained unmoved. He didn't know why the Gaugass Battlemages that ordinarily wouldn't come into contact with other forces had come here. It was even possible that they were participating in the general attack.

But Lin Yun didn't care. At first, he had thought that this guy came to provoke him because of the Gaugass Battlemages' hatred towards Okand. For the sake of the Gaugass King, he would forgive this Gaugass Battlemage and just teach him a lesson.

But who would have thought that this guy was so domineering that he wanted to take Lin Yun's things, and be willing to kill in order to get them?

After a few seconds, Kempes was thoroughly terrified. He was looking straight up, and only his mouth and nose were out of the quagmire, his head slowly sinking in.

Soon, the last Bursting Flames began to fall, and Kempes thoroughly despaired.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt shot over and struck the Bursting Flames, causing it to explode in the air.

Two shadows rapidly flew over, and a black gleam instantly appeared and shot towards Lin Yun's face.

Lin Yun frowned. He wasn't Xiuban, so this kind of trap was ineffective against him.

In an instant, Lin Yun's body turned into a ball of fire and appeared a dozen meters away and the black glow shot towards a hill several hundred meters away. A loud explosion echoed as it created a huge hole in the hill while kicking up a lot of dust and fragments.
