Chapter 860 - Plunder (1/2)

He fell from over a hundred meters up and crashed into the ground, not reacting at all. His scarlet Battle Aura Armor had already disappeared, and the Radiant Warlord was no longer properly recognizable after the fall.

“He died? What happened?”

Enderfa, who had been ready to make a move, was stunned. It looked like the Radiant Warlord suddenly died because he’d eaten several explosive potions.

Enderfa wasn’t the only one surprised, as everyone was a bit stunned. The fifty mages even forgot to keep casting spells.

A powerhouse who seemed to be on the verge of breaking through the Heaven realm and even showed a trace of Extraordinary Power just bafflingly died. No one understood what was going on.

At this time, Lin Yun raised his head, not surprised when looking at the situation.

“It wasn’t his own power, so how could he not pay the price when using it? He, a 9th Rank Sword Saint, wanted to use Extraordinary Power? It would have been unimaginable if he lasted more than five minutes.”

As more and more mages advanced to become Archmages, the power they could display kept increasing. Handling a 9th Rank Archmage might be somewhat troublesome, but they couldn’t be defeated by a 9th Rank Sword Saint. Even after the Radiant Warlord burst out with power exceeding his level, how could the mage fail to resist for a few minutes?

Ever since they reached the Radiant Fort, Lin Yun had been rousing his Magic Array to capture the auras in the area, and he had faintly noticed an unusual aura.

Only after the Radiant Warlord burst out did the detected aura suddenly become more visible. How could Lin Yun have time to care about the others? He roused his Magic Array to track down the source of that aura.

Lin Yun hadn’t been able to precisely locate it, and he only knew that the aura came from the Radiant Fort.

The source of the Radiant Warlord’s power also came from the Radiant Fort, or to be more precise, somewhere below the Radiant Fort. There was a frightening power hibernating there.

But unfortunately, the Radiant Warlord was too weak, and although he was a 9th Rank Sword Saint, he was far from being a first-rate 9th Rank Sword Saint. He forced himself to use that Extraordinary Power and ended up drained of his vitality.

Lin Yun only used the Radiant Warlord to figure out that there was a power hibernating below the Radiant Fort, but he wasn’t able to pinpoint any precise location. That faintly appearing aura seemed to have disappeared, and trying to track it down was very difficult.

‘If only that guy hadn’t died so soon, it would have been perfect…’

Lin Yun let out a disappointed sigh. He had been sincerely hoping that the Radiant Warlord would last longer. That was why he didn’t have Enderfa and Reina do anything to help. That way, the Radiant Warlord wouldn’t have to exert himself even more and wouldn’t die as quickly.

Lin Yun, Reina, Enderfa, and the puppet… Any of these four could display the power of a 9th Rank Archmage. The strongest was Lin Yun, and he could already easily defeat some ordinary 9th Rank Archmages.

If this group participated in the battle, it wouldn’t take more than two minutes before the Radiant Warlord’s lifeforce was thoroughly burnt out.

In the five minutes, Lin Yun hadn’t been able to find the exact location, so his face was naturally filled with regret.

On the side, Wagner, who had made up his mind to follow Lin Yun, now had an extremely strange expression. His mouth twitched as he saw Lin Yun looking regretful.

‘Hell, is that guy thinking that the Radiant Warlord died too fast? No way, right? It must be my imagination. I must be overthinking.

‘Damn, how could this Radiant Fort be so powerful? Wasn’t the Radiant Warlord said to be an ordinary 9th Rank Sword Saint that had advanced in the recent years? He still had such a trump card and displayed the power of a Heaven Rank powerhouse for a bit!

‘Thankfully I didn’t act… If my subordinates hadn’t died, I’m afraid I would have died in this final battle. Those guys wouldn’t have been able to resist the power of the Radiant Warlord for five minutes…’

Wagner had a complicated expression. He felt that he might have been under too much pressure, causing him to hallucinate.

After the Radiant Warlord suddenly died, the rest was a lot easier. The Black Iron Beastmen died in battle, and Lin Yun led his group into the Radiant Fort.

The points from the Radiant Fort had also been completely converted.

Lin Yun took out his crystal ball and glanced at it. With the capture of the Radiant Fort, Lin Yun had unexpectedly reached a total of 430,000 points.

It was at least twice as much as he’d expected. But Lin Yun felt that this was very normal. After all, attacking the Radiant Fort was a lot more difficult than anticipated. Not to mention the barrier, the last burst of power from the Radiant Warlord greatly increased the Radiant Fort’s difficulty. The impact on the campaign was also far greater than expected.
