Chapter 889 - Sonic Boom (1/2)
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
How could Dephew still dare to hesitate? He frantically ran away. But that Ancestor Soul had locked onto him and actually didn’t care about the other Archmages’ attacks anymore.
That Ancestor Soul, despite being deceivingly nimble, didn’t run particularly fast. But it was over a hundred meters tall, so one single step was enough to cross several dozen meters, and each step created gales.
Although the frequency of its steps wasn’t much faster than a normal person walking, it was tenaciously chasing Dephew and wouldn’t let him go. Meteors kept being thrown at Dephew, tiring him out.
As he kept dodging, Dephew’s face became paler and paler. He frequently had to use a burst of mana, consuming his reserves faster.
If this continued, he would inevitably be crushed to death by that Ancestor Soul.
As he wildly looked around for salvation, Dephew noticed Lin Yun fighting a Beastman holding a greatsword.
‘Mafa Merlin… Haha, blame yourself for running out of luck, damn b*stard! You dared to set yourself against me! So what if you have a large number of puppets as your subordinates? You will still die here.
‘I don’t know why that damned Ancestor Soul went crazy, but it just keeps chasing me, so I’ll lead it to Mafa Merlin’s location…
‘If that Ancestor Soul killed him on the way, that would be for the best. Who would notice if he died in this kind of battlefield? No one would know. Moreover, once that Mafa Merlin died, would that foolish Harren become hostile for the sake of a dead person?
‘After leading it to him, I’ll quickly break away from that repulsive Ancestor Soul… This is perfect, this is a perfect plan.’
As he thought about it, Dephew started looking quite pleased with himself. He used Flight to keep dodging in mid-air while trying to get closer to Lin Yun.
Once he was around forty or fifty meters away, Dephew calculated the distance and lined himself up with Lin Yun and the Ancestor Soul. He even paused for a moment and braved the risk of being hit by a Meteor.
Dephew’s eyes kept flickering as he calculated Lin Yun’s path when he suddenly noticed that the Ancestor Soul had grabbed another Meteor. Dephew instantly burst with mana and dodged away.
He managed to dodge the terrifying Meteor, but it continued on and flew towards Lin Yun.
At this time, Lin Yun was at the key juncture of his battle with the Peak 8th Rank Sword Saint.
That Beastman holding the Sacred Tooth Sword was too troublesome. The wisp of Extraordinary Power gave it absurd properties that made it incredibly effective. Powerful single-target spells already had no effect on him because he could just slice them away.
Therefore, Lin Yun could only keep planning, continuously using fire spells to raise the density and activity of fire elements in the surroundings in order to lead that Beastman into a deadly trap.
Once the fire reached a certain degree, Lin Yun would suddenly burst with power and use the runes he had laid out to devour all the fire elements in the surroundings and condense them into more than a hundred Bursting Flames.
The Bursting Flames wouldn’t just explode in front of the Warlord; they would hit him from every angle, hitting his entire body.
The power of over a hundred Bursting Flames exploding at the same time… That was pure power. The explosive power would all squeeze towards the center forming a crucible of fire that the Sacred Tooth Sword wouldn’t be able to block.
It would be pure pressure, pure physical strength reaching a point where that 8th Rank Sword Saint would be crushed to death. Even if he held the Sacred Tooth Sword, he wouldn’t be able to do anything against that extreme force.
Just as Lin Yun was about to release over a hundred Bursting Flames, he instantly felt a tingling sensation at the back of his head and his sense of danger suddenly reacted. It was like a volcano suddenly burst in his mind, making his entire being shiver.
The next moment, Lin Yun felt a terrifying power rapidly flying towards him from behind. He turned and felt numb.
A Meteor was hurtling at him with frightening momentum. The usual long black trail behind it had been replaced by a long white aura, as well as a circular part just like a white skirt.
Lin Yun was too familiar with that kind of airwave, recognizing it with a single glance. It was a sonic boom cloud!
It meant that the Meteor had already broken through the speed of sound!
How could Lin Yun still care about the Beastman Warlord now? He put all his energy into attacking that Meteor.
Mana exploded out from his body, so rich Lin Yun was even weaving it, forming what seemed like an illusory piece of gauze in front of him.
And at this time, the Book of Death appeared in Lin Yun’s left hand, opening on its own and flipping itself to the Elemental Chapter’s page, which emitted an icy-blue light. In his right hand was the Draconic Staff, which also blossomed with a glaring radiance.
