Chapter 1280 - Benefits of Natural Demiplanes (1/2)

He consumed over a hundred times more mana than usual in mere seconds. This single exchange consumed 30% of Lin Yun’s mana, and 30% of the law runes on his Fusion Shield were pulsating.

A single move from his opponent consumed 30% of the Fusion Shield’s power. Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield would have been destroyed in one hit, regardless of its vitality, if the puppet had used twice as much power alongside its speed.

The large bat puppet slashed eight times at Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield in an instant, making over 70% of the law runes pulsate.

If this kept going at this rate, his Fusion Shield wouldn’t last more than ten seconds.

This was a critical situation, cold sweat was already trickling down Lin Yun’s forehead. But Lin Yun suddenly calmed down, he recalled Agalon’s teachings and his Demiplane’s shadow appeared above his head.

The shadow spread over ten kilometers, before suddenly condensing to reach three meters in size. This place’s chaotic law power immediately roused the Natural Demiplane’s instinctive reaction, its Laws were projected, shrouding Lin Yun’s within.

The large bat puppet shouldn’t be that fast under normal circumstances, there wasn’t even a single sound. It inevitably drew support from the power of Laws, and this kind of power posed a threat to Lin Yun. The Natural Demiplane’s projection could force all abnormal law powers to regain their original shape based on the laws of the Natural Demiplane.

Just as the laws were projected, Lin Yun sensed some traces he was unable to sense earlier. Those weren’t traces of the bat puppets, but vestiges of the law power used by the bat.

Even if he couldn’t see it with his eyes or magic power, he could now track the bat puppet’s silhouette.

He wouldn’t have to passively take a beating now that he could track his opponent.

Fire Shields, Water Elemental Shields, and Spatial Barriers suddenly appeared around Lin Yun. They were layered in a pattern, one Water Elemental Shield at the forefront, one Fire Shield in the middle, and one Spatial Barrier at the back. The shields formed a total of fifteen layers tightly wrapped around Lin Yun.

The large bat puppet’s claws instantly landed on the first shield. The Water Elemental Shield didn’t have strong defensive power but it was very powerful in terms of weakening ability, the Fire Shield would let out a repulsive power upon breaking, and the Spatial Barrier with the strongest defensive power was used as a hard wall.

These three defensive spells were combined into five groups of three and managed to halve the power of the puppet’s attack. When the puppet’s claw landed on the Fusion Shield, only 20% of the law runes ended up throbbing.

Even after three seconds, the amount of throbbing law runes on the surface of the Fusion Shield remained at 20%. It wasn’t possible for the bat puppet to rely on speed and power to destroy the Fusion Shield.

The bat puppet no longer appeared to be in an irrational rage, it floated away after that ten-second-long stalemate and remained at a few hundred meters. Its crystal eyes emitted ice cold light, apparently still holding some disdain towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun stopped casting and solemnly pondered how to take care of it. His usual fighting style could no longer deal with this kind of circumstances. His current strength had already reached the limit of the regular Heaven Mages’ path. He could still barely deal with 4th Rank Heaven Rank powerhouses, but it was very difficult for him to deal with powerhouses or lifeforms at the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm.

This was a pressure in terms of essence, it wasn’t something mana or magic power could influence. He had to rely on his Natural Demiplane to handle this bat puppet.

Lin Yun’s mind shook as his mind power was rapidly consumed. He was mentally processing all kinds of thoughts, making plans, and giving up on them before making new plans.

While Lin Yun was still thinking, the bat puppet’s talent rune shone once again and it silently shouted at him. Those spatial ripple-like infrasound waves spread over a kilometer in less than a second.

The infrasound waves instantly blew up Lin Yun’s defensive shields, dissipating them all in an instant. They shattered into countless fragments upon impact, crumbling into basic elemental power.

90% of the law runes of the Fusion Shield throbbed when the infrasound attack landed. Lin Yun’s entire mana pool was consumed every second, forcing him to transfer mana from his Demiplane directly into his Fusion Shield.

Cold sweat trickled down Lin Yun’s forehead as he faced the flood of infrasound waves. Countless runes flickered in his eyes, his Magic Array was operating at full power, helping him weave plans to solve the current crisis. But Lin Yun was still too slow, his Fusion Shield would thoroughly crumble within two seconds. This Fusion Shield, which was at least seven to eight times stronger than defenses of mages of the same rank, simply couldn’t resist that frightening attack.

That kind of infrasound wave attack was using law power which already exceeded Lin Yun’s comprehension. Even if the puppet’s usage of law power was very rudimentary, it was enough to get rid of Lin Yun.

Since the Magic Array wasn’t enough, the Spell Wheel joined in the calculations. A second later, Lin Yun let out a relieved sigh. The Book of Death flipped itself to the Origin Chapter and darkness spread out from it, enveloping everything within two kilometers.

The infrasound waves’ power was greatly reduced upon entering the darkness. Half of the darkness immediately started crumbling, but it also dissipated half of the flood of infrasounds.

After witnessing this scene, Lin Yun’s Magic Array and Spell Wheel gathered a large amount of data and continued making calculations as understanding flashed within Lin Yun’s eyes.

Soundwaves needed a medium to spread, and the most basic medium was air. All sound magic used air as the most basic medium to spread, and the law used was based on the wind law.

With that foundation, no matter how much it was developed, it was still developing a branch of the wind law.

The Puppet Plane’s air was sparse, it was so thin that an ordinary person’s body would start swelling due to the low atmospheric pressure. It also made it hard for sound to spread, the dissemination efficiency was very low.

Although the large bat puppet’s infrasound was very powerful, it still needed a medium to spread. There was both magic power and space, but all the magic power released had been crushed, leaving space as the only possibility. These infrasounds used space itself as a medium!

To resist, he needed to grasp the medium used…

Lin Yun deduced the key points in an instant with the help of the Spell Wheel and the Magic Array. The darkness only managed to delay for a couple seconds, but it was more than enough.

The Book of Death flipped itself to the Sage Chapter and Lin Yun spat out a dozen spatial law runes. These runes rapidly combined and formed a seemingly careless spell matrix. The spell formed using spatial law runes was only a 7th Tier Spell.

Lin Yun then slotted that spell into a slot of the Sage Chapter before immediately activating it.

The spatial fluctuations in Lin Yun’s surroundings instantly dissipated and the space looked as if it had been frozen. Everything within had become stiff, even the air was frozen.

Spatial Anchoring was originally an 8th Tier Spell which could stabilize space when it was required. This spell would be used if the conditions weren’t good enough for Teleportation, Spatial Door, or a Planar Path.

But Lin Yun didn’t care about the other properties of Spatial Anchoring, he only needed the space to be stiffened, allowing to form this spell as a 7th Tier Spell. After reinforcing this spell with the Sage Chapter, it allowed the stiffening effect to be displayed to its pinnacle.

Everything within thirty meters appeared frozen. Upon contact with that space, the infrasounds looked like fishes swimming in a dense sticky swamp, their speed greatly reduced. It took less than three seconds for all the infrasounds currently within thirty meters of Lin Yun to thoroughly dissipate. As for the infrasound waves coming in afterwards, they kept weakening until their power was reduced to that of a lower tier spell easily blocked by the Fusion Shield.

Seeing the effect, Lin Yun sighed in relief and felt somewhat enlightened. He somewhat understood why Agalon emphasized the growth of his Natural Demiplane to its utmost limit, why he always looked a bit envious when mentioning Lin Yun’s perfect Demiplane.
