Chapter 1221 - Fatal Crisis 2 (1/2)

“Merlin, are you okay…?”

Lin Yun took a few breaths before shaking his head.

“I’m fine.”

Puppets’ tactics used their natural advantage: computing ability. Whether it was their fighting system or their battle system, they all worked based on calculations.

These puppets’ fighting systems were terrifyingly powerful, and their computing ability was even scarier as they captured all details on the battlefield to a terrifyingly degree.

The cannons on their right arms were their most powerful mean of attack and would be released when they found the best opportunity. Every blow was deadly.

He had just neglected one important detail… These were Heaven Puppets!

They awakened wisdom, and their battle systems had great cooperation ability, their goal was to eliminate intruders, it didn’t matter who did it.

The bombardment of Frostbolts reduced the Law Runic Shield’s defense, the powerful Exploding Rays were keeping the Law Runic Shield’s defensive power active while the most powerful Critical Hit Puppet attacked at the exact same time. With the help of that Steel Body Puppet, it instantly crossed a hundred meters and used the power of the momentum, along with its own power, to land an extremely powerful blow.

It instantly tore apart the eighty thousand law runes forming the Law Runic Shield!

That perfect attack and perfect cooperation was deadly, even for Lin Yun!

At the crucial moment, Lin Yun came to a realization. Relying on that wisp of enlightenment, he managed to delay that Critical Hit Puppet’s attack, and by the time the other side’s power was almost exhausted, he used a simple Mana Shield to resist.

It was the first time his Law Runic Shield was forcibly torn apart. Even the powerful enemies he had met before never managed to tear apart his Law Runic Shield.

The feeling of being near death shrouded his mind. This was a feeling he had never felt before, and he finally understood the key to advancing to the Heaven Rank.

He had previously felt that it was due to fighting intent. He had never fought to his heart content as the outcome of his battles had always been in the palm of his hand. The rhythm, the outcome, and even the process was entirely planned.

But advancing to the Heaven Rank wasn’t something that could be controlled, and no one could use the process of others’ Extraordinary Transformation for their own.

Aside from those using that Golden Temptation Potion, the key part and process of the Extraordinary Transformation would be different and they had to figure it out themselves.

But now, Lin Yun finally discovered what he needed to advance to the Heaven Rank.

Every single step since the start of his magic path had been perfect, he had the strongest Magic Conducting Rune, the most powerful Core Meditation Law Sets, and even fused with the skull of the God of Wisdom, which was known as the source of all wisdom.

And thus, his magic path was already perfect. His foundation was powerful to the point where it could be compared to a large plane’s planar barrier. That gate in the depths of his soul was his own shackles.

A foundation too formidable would actually be harder to break through and completing the Extraordinary Transformation would be even more difficult.

Lin Yun wasn’t able to break through that ancient gate, but he now knew how to do it.

It wasn’t through control, but through the most basic instinct. The instinct to become even more powerful, or it might be better to call it survival instinct!

This was the most powerful thing, something completely beyond his control, and this was also the way to complete his Extraordinary Transformation. The fiercer his battles and the more powerful his opponents, the more the gate would shake. It was because of his will to live, he didn’t want to die… He really didn’t want to die again.

That kind of power was the source of all power and would rouse all his potential.

Lin Yun floated in the air with a bright expression.

He slowly raised his Draconic Staff and an ancient scales’ shadow floated under his feet. Enderfa’s three faces solemnly controlled the Spell Wheel to float on the right tray, while Syudos controlled the Book of Mantras to float on the left tray.

Boundless radiance covered the surroundings as the Book of Death’s Element Chapter was roused to its peak. It transformed into a multi-colored ray of light that enveloped Lin Yun.

The Purple Dragon’s shadow faced up and roared while holding onto the wheel shadow. As the power of the elements floated in the surroundings, countless law runes autonomously converged towards Lin Yun’s body, forming a new Law Runic Shield.

On the ground, the Steel Body Puppet raised its tower shield while the Critical Hit Puppet hid behind it. The two casting puppets raised their arms and repeatedly shot Firebolts and Frostbolts.

On the ground, the remaining few level 39 puppets also kept casting.

A large number of spells impacted Lin Yun’s shield, but most of the bolt spells distorted as they approached Lin Yun’s body and their paths were altered, sending them flying elsewhere.

The wheel shadow behind Lin Yun kept revolving and countless law runes kept spurting out, continuously condensing Four Element Bomb that fell down like rain.

Enderfa controlled the Spell Wheel, which had its power raised to an Extraordinary Magic Tool. His elemental storms combined with Syudos floods of flames and the level 39 puppets within several hundred meters had to face the attacks of two Extraordinary Magic Tools they were no match for. They were quickly and thoroughly eliminated.

The attacks of the two Extraordinary Magic Tools, along with Lin Yun’s rain of Four Element Bombs, pressured the four Heaven Puppets. They were temporarily suppressed after their burst.

Soon, the two casting puppets took refuge behind the silver Steel Body Puppet as it was blocking Lin Yun’s attack with its huge tower shield. There was four to five Four Element Bombs falling down every second, but it only took one or two steps back. The tower shield was made from some unknown material, and with the buff of the Steel Body Rune, its defensive power reached a terrifying level.

It firmly resisted many attacks and only some burnt marks remained on the surface of the shield. The glossy surface was no longer glossy, but the shield wasn’t affected.

The four Heaven Puppets had yet to suffer an injury after half a minute. However, the burst power of Lin Yun’s Equilibrium Law could only last about a minute. After that, he would lose that explosive burst power.

Constantine and the other Sword Saints no longer had an opponent. They were hiding in the distance and watched the two battlefields, unable to intervene in either of them.

Laibo’s strength slowly started to decline. The burst of power from burning half of his vitality wasn’t something he could maintain for a long period of time. If he continued to burn his vitality, he would die even if he won the fight.

He was put into a dangerous situation by the four melee Heaven Puppets, and as his strength kept declining, he finally failed to block an attack from the Heavy Strike Puppet, that powerful power seeped into Laibo’s body and sent him flying.

He started spurting blood and even fragments of his organs in the air. When he got hit by the Heavy Strike, a part of Laibo’s aura was scattered and it decreased at a hastened speed.

At this time, the Heavy Strike Puppet and a Lightning Speed Puppet changed their target and rushed to the other side to back up the four Heaven Puppets besieging Lin Yun.

On the other side, the four suppressed Heaven Puppets hadn’t emerged from behind the shield. They only broke away from the suppression when the Heavy Strike and the Lightning Speed Puppets appeared.

The Lightning Speed Puppet was the first one to appear behind Lin Yun, its thin swords stabbing towards Lin Yun’s vitals. When they clashed against the Law Runic Shield, they roused seven thousand to eight thousand law runes. Even the strongest piercing attack roused less than ten thousand law runes.

But this broke Lin Yun’s attacking pattern. The Heavy Strike Puppet rushed over, the greatswords in its hands fiercely slamming towards Lin Yun’s Law Runic Shield and its power seeped inside the Law Runic Shield and interrupted Lin Yun’s casting.

With the six Heaven Puppets besieging him, even if Lin Yun burst out with all his power, he could only be suppressed.

The Lightning Speed Puppet was like a phantom that kept harassing him, always rousing eight thousand law runes on the Law Runic Shield, consuming 10% of the Law Runic Shield’s defense at all times.

As for that Frost Weaken casting puppet, it was continuously releasing Frostbolts to weaken Lin Yun’s defenses. This took care of another 20% of the Law Runic Shield’s defense.
