Chapter 1209 - Rescue Mission (1/2)

Laibo’s expression turned a bit strange. He put his longsword on his back and hid the hand holding the sword behind his back as it slightly shook.

‘Damn, that guy truly isn’t a special puppet?! How could a 9th Rank Archmage be so powerful?

‘Could it be that his mana is infinite? He was actually planning on drinking a potion… And that was a potion requiring to be sealed by pure runes. What kind of potion was it?

‘To what degree would his strength increase if he used it under such circumstances?

‘I was almost killed by a 9th Rank Archmage, no apprentice would believe me. I really encountered a monster. Are the people outside that frightening now?’

Hearing Laibo’s words, a trace of regret flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes and he put away the potion. The ancient scales appearing under his feet also slowly dissipated alongside the Purple Dragon and the wheel’s shadows.

The flaming door shadow on his left and the huge wheel on his right also disappeared.

Only the fighting intent in Lin Yun’s eyes remained as it would take some time to dissipate.

During the course of the battle, Lin Yun understood that the other side might not be the guardian of this ruins. Lin Yun recognized the longsword when the darkness covering the blade slowly turned white.

It was the legendary Song of Sacrifice. In the future, it was a legendary weapon of a Sword Saint. Very few could leave a name behind and be recorded in Heiss City’s decaying library.

The Song of Sacrifice was even stored in Heiss City, but unfortunately, no one could use the Song of Sacrifice at the time, no one had the power to use it.

The most obvious feature of the Song of Sacrifice was that deathly still aura, the deathly stillness which made people feel despair. When bursting at full power, the Song of Sacrifice would turn white from its original black color.

But Lin Yun didn’t plan to stay his hand just because the other side said so. He had found a good match for him and had to fight. Moreover, he didn’t know if the other side had really misunderstood or planned to get rid of him.

When he sensed the other side’s lifeforce decreasing, Lin Yun knew that he was going all-out and he himself took out the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion. With the Bloodsobbing Holysong Potion, he could definitely get rid of the other side.

But he truly hadn’t expected his opponent to call for a ceasefire and even take the opportunity to scatter his power. This couldn’t continue and he had to stay his hand.

Laibo saw Lin Yun stop and sighed in relief.

“Hello, formidable Sir Mage, I’m Laibo Manteni from the Secret Monastery. You can call me Laibo. This was a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding.

“I thought Sir Mage was the guardian puppet of these ruins, a relatively special puppet. After all, I’ve yet to see an Archmage as powerful as you…”

Laibo bitterly smiled as he said those words. A powerful person was mistaken as a puppet by a Heaven Rank powerhouse… This was really shameful.

He had thought Lin Yun was a mage, but when the battle started, especially after his burst of aura, he felt that Lin Yun was a special puppet.

A 9th Rank Archmage could burst with the power of a 2nd Rank Heaven Mage? He would obviously feel that this was a joke when hearing it.

Especially in this kind of ruins abandoned for millennias. Meeting such a powerful 9th Rank Archmage shouldn’t be possible. It was more likely that it was a puppet looking like a mage.

Hearing Laibo’s self-introduction, a flash of understanding appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes.

‘It’s really someone from the Secret Monastery…’

The Secret Monastery was a secret inheritage of the Odin Kingdom, it was very powerful but also very ancient. It has existed for countless years and no one knew when it was founded, it was a complete mystery.

After a few millennia, Noscent would be in the middle of the Planar Colonization Era. All forces would rapidly develop, whether it was a mage force, or an alchemy force, they would develop really fast.

The endless resources of the endless planes brought many opportunities for the development of Noscent. The number of planes and resources controlled was the most important factor of a force’s growth speed.

During that time, the Secret Monastery was unable to remain hidden, they couldn’t keep up with the other forces with just the resources available in Noscent.

A weak force was bound to be eliminated at that time. Weakness was a sin, and they wouldn’t be able to defend themselves, let alone keep up with other forces.

Thus, at that time, the leader of the Secret Monastery decisively chose to follow in the footsteps of the other forces and join the Planar Colonization Era.

It was also that decision which prevented the Secret Monastery’s destruction and turned it into one of the peak forces of the Odin Kingdom.

As a force mainly relying on swordsmen, it wasn’t easy for them to become one of the peak forces of that era.

This was all due to the ancient heritage of the Secret Monastery, Deathless Aura!

This was similar to Death Aura but it wasn’t the same. Rather, it was pure deathly stillness that could make all power become deathly still.

Through the inheritance method of the Secret Monastery, the vitality of swordsmen would be trained during their childhood and their Swordsmen vitality could compare to other forces’ Great Swordsmen.

Outstanding vitality was the foundation of learning Deathless Aura. That Aura had great restraining effects on mages. Peak mage powerhouses would draw when fighting with a powerhouse of the Secret Monastery, the outcome of a fight had 50% of leaning towards either side.

Some weaker mages might not be the opponents of the powerful Sword Saints of the Secret Monastery.

As for that Song of Sacrifice, it truly became famous over five millenia later. At that time, a powerhouse of the Secret Monastery wielding that sword killed an 8th Rank Heaven Mage as a 7th Rank Heaven Sword Saint!
