Chapter 1149 - Devious Trap (1/2)
That thin shadow was twisting and turning to completely hide under the shadows of the broken rocks. If not for the Magic Array catching that wisp of different aura, he wouldn’t have discovered Birbo’s hidden move.
It was a simple Shadow Binding using the shadow of the caster’s opponent to restrict their movements. That spell was an 8th Tier Spell and its effect wasn’t very visible.
Powerhouses of the same rank would take less than a second to struggle free and the shadow mages would suffer a magical backlash from it, which would definitely last more than a second.
If that Shadow Binding came in contact with its target and the Shadow Mage wasn’t able to eliminate their target within a second, they would usually die.
But now, that small time frame appeared at a deadly time!
Lin Yun was about to struggle free of the Shadow Binding after less than half a second when a wisp of gravity enveloped his body. The sharp increase in Gravity distorted the Law Runic Shield around Lin Yun and his bones cracked because of the effect of the gravity.
Over a hundred meters away, Steer was battered and exhausted as he was being chased by the Demon Overlord, but he was exercising all his power, compressing all his Gravity within a three meters range to pressure Lin Yun.
The gravity had increased nearly twenty times in an instant. And this was the bloodline power of the Bronze Beastmen, it was different from a mage’s Gravity.
A mage’s Gravity could only make people feel as if they were carrying something heavy, it originated from elemental power. The Bronze Beastmen’ gravity raised the gravity of the earth itself. Thus, no matter if it was a shield, or a mage’s body, or even their insides, they instantly suffered the same force.
It’s just that the more towards the insides, the less it was felt…
The sudden increase in gravity made Lin Yun’s blood squeeze towards his lower body. Darkness flashed before Lin Yun’s eyes. He had struggled free of the Shadow Binding, but he couldn’t do anything against that huge gravity.
After a second, another accident happened. A five-meter-long spatial tear appeared behind Lin Yun.
It was as if a huge creature was opening its giant mouth to devour the prey before its eyes. But the spatial tear’s devouring power could be ignored, especially with the huge Gravity pressuring his body, he simply couldn’t be devoured by this spatial tear.
But that Evil Bone Demon swinging its two rib-weapons would deal the fatal blow thanks to Steer and Birbo’s help!
The huge rib fiercely smashed onto Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield, and the Law Runic Shield already deformed by the Gravity was like a baseball being sent flying in that spatial tear.
Lin Yun suddenly connected the dots and his expression became chilly.
He opened his mouth and spat three runes from the Book of Death, marking a coordinate. Then, his numerous law runes were like poisonous wasps rushing out of their nest.
The law runes looked like ordinary runes as they constructed a fifty-centimeter-tall matrix according to the law rune construction frame.
Terrifying power was emitted as that runic matrix collapsed. A pitch-black Wind Blade instantly flew over a hundred meters and ruthlessly sliced Steer’s arm.
The Bronze Beastman’s defensive power was like a joke in front of the pure spatial tear-like Wind Blade.
If not for Steer’s quick reaction, he wouldn’t have just lost his right arm, he would have lost his head.
His right arm was instantly torn apart by the berserk power.
And this wasn’t over, Lin Yun had simultaneously activated five Summon Meteorite scrolls, encircling Steer.
At the same time, five more Summon Meteorites were used on the “borrowed knife” Evil Bone Demon Overlord.
As for Birbo, who was still suffering from his magical backlash, Lin Yun took even more care of him. He used five Summon Meteorite scrolls as well as three Holy Light Beams.
The rays of light fell and thoroughly severed Birbo from the shadows. He couldn’t escape and couldn’t avoid being injured, it forced him to use his own power to firmly resist the five meteorites falling down from the sky. And that was not mentioning the Demon Overlord he was still fighting.
Lin Yun finished everything in an instant, but he couldn’t avoid falling in the spatial tear.
As Lin Yun fell into the spatial tear, the other rib of the Evil Bone Demon Overlord swung over and forcibly shattered the just opened spatial tear.
Lin Yun thoroughly disappeared, while Birbo and Steer started facing a disaster.
Steer’s arm was torn apart and five terrifying meteorites were rapidly falling down, when he saw them, it looked like they were already on top of him.
The five meteorites dragged from the void fell onto Steer in an encirclement, and the terrifying attack instantly snapped eight bones. Even with the Bronze Beastmen’s formidable defense, he could barely focus on surviving.
He had just consumed a lot of power and lost an arm, his magic patterns weren’t intact so his defense sharply fell. His power also sharply fell. Being able to live could be considered pretty good.
Steer was covered in blood and was as pale as a sheet of paper. The Demon Overlord chasing him also sensibly chose to get out of the way when the five meteorites fell.
Looking at where Lin Yun had disappeared, Steer gritted his teeth and sneered.
‘Damn b*stard, that guy had really been hiding his strength. That Wind Blade was actually able to easily cut my arm, and those terrifying magic scrolls… How could he have so many powerful magic scrolls.
‘But it no longer matter, he already died. Haha, that spatial tear was five-meter-long, the small plane birthed would at best have eight kilometers of land.
‘In less than three minutes, that plane would be submerged in the endless void. When the time comes, he would thoroughly die. He can’t touch upon spatial power without Extraordinary Power.
‘Even if he was a Saint Alchemist, he wouldn’t be able to complete a Planar Path’s array in three minutes.
‘It would be impossible even if he knew the exact coordinates. Mafa Merlin i s already dead!’
On the other side, Birbo hadn’t been rewarded a Runic Wind Blade by Lin Yun, but those three fifty-centimeter-long Holy Light Beam scrolls definitely removed all shadows within a kilometer. The shadow power within that area would be thoroughly removed for a dozen seconds.
In other words, Birbo’s shadow magic’s power had been reduced by more than half. The crucial Shadow Conceal, Shadow Merge, and Shadow Incarnation were completely useless!
Without Shadow Merge to avoid injuries and Shadow Incarnation to reduce the damage, shadow mages were just a pile of brittle twigs.
For a brittle twig to face five falling meteorites and an enraged Demon Overlord, he was in big troubles…
The angry and startled Birbo roared as he kept dodging. After destroying two True Spirit Magic Tools, he managed to escape the range of the holy light.
As soon as he appeared, the shadow that always shrouded Birbo instantly shattered like a broken porcelain.
The shadows dissipated to reveal Birbo’s appearance… A pale sinister and ruthless middle-aged woman. At this moment, her entire body was covered in blood and she was as pale as a Vampire. Her skin was covered with bark-like cracks as it was about to fall apart.
But as she looked at the place where Lin Yun disappeared, a cold and sinister smile appeared on her face.
‘Fool, shadow magic has always been underestimated, but the most powerful shadow mages only need a very simple spell to deal with very powerful enemies.
‘Just one Shadow Binding and you easily died. You offended the prestige of our Shadow Tower and slaughtered the mages of our Shadow Tower. You didn’t even let Dylas off, f*ck, killing you is letting you off easy…’
Birbo and Steer were very satisfied with this outcome. They paid a price, but no one would discover their devious trap in such a chaotic place, they would instead only see Lin Yun attacking them.
Even if Clombton used Temporal Recall to watch that scene, he would at most discover that Lin Yun had been acting a bit strange.
And this was done by a human and a Beastman, even if it was discovered by Clombton, so what? As long as they kept their mouth shut and remained unyielding, Clombton would look at the big picture and wouldn’t make a fuss for the sake of a dead person.
