Chapter 1331 - Tables Turned (1/2)

Sheldon extended one of his demonic clawed hands, protecting his head, and smashed his other clawed arm at Xiuban.

Unfortunately, he had no idea how strong Xiuban who had gone berserk again at the cost of all his rationality would be.

There seemed to be an Ancient Poison Dragon that was attached to Carnage. It roared and charged at Sheldon when Carnage collided with Sheldon’s claws. The claws, which were more than one meter long, exploded into pieces like a huge crystal that had been smashed brutally.

At the same time, Sheldon’s other clawed hand hit Xiuban brutally, and smashed him to one side of the pit.

The dust was roiling, and the soil was broken. In only half a second, Xiuban had charged back at Sheldon from the dust, with nothing but a vague red mark on his body that soon disappeared. No wound could be seen at all.

Carnage hit Sheldon’s remaining claws again, making them explode even though they had completely transformed into a demon’s. This time, it could be seen that the power of fire and frost was mixed on the surface of Carnage. When Carnage smashed down, the power of fire and ice would hit Sheldon too. Because it had been compressed hundreds of times, and because Xiuban was wielding Carnage brutally, it would be dozens of times more powerful when it burst out.

After Sheldon’s claws were broken, Xiuban’s eyes remained bloodshot. The second berserk status wouldn’t end until he broke Sheldon into pieces.

Instantly, Xiuban moved so fast that only his shadows could be seen. Explosions burst out on Sheldon’s skin like firecrackers without stop.

A dozen seconds later, the noises of firecrackers came to an abrupt end. After the last explosion, Sheldon’s enormous body fell apart into countless pieces like a glass statue.

Xiuban, however, continued wielding Carnage without stopping. He didn’t stop until he smashed all the crystal pieces again and again, and made them no bigger than a fist. Then, the bloodiness in his eyes gradually disappeared.

After regaining his rationality, Xiuban grinned and rubbed his sore parts. He held Carnage on his shoulder, and stomped on the broken crystal pieces.

“Damn it, idiot. I said that I’d break you into pieces, and I never go back on my word. When you chose to fight against me, you… How did Sir Merlin put it? Oh right, you embarked on a trip to death…”

When he walked out of the pit, the battles in other places were all coming to an end. Everybody of the Thorny Crown had been defeated except Myers. Sheldon was the only one who died, and the others were only suppressed. The most unlucky of them had a dozen broken bones, and was frozen in ice. He was alive, although only barely…

Reina had finished her battle. She didn’t help the army of alchemy puppets—unless she saw level-40 beasts. Then, she would step up and kill them.

The legion mages turned into a fiery cloud that dashed to the beasts, leaving nothing but ashes in their way. Xiuban raised his head, and looked at Lin Yun’s battle. Then, he grinned, and charged at the beasts with Carnage on his shoulder.

In the sky, the battle between Myers and Lin Yun was ongoing. After losing his rationality and being controlled and crystallized, Myers was five times stronger than he usually was because it fitted the bloodline he transplanted.

His crystal spells made him much more powerful than normal level-5 Heaven Rank experts. He was almost as strong as the level-6 Heaven Rank experts.

Lin Yun was holding the Book of Death in one hand and the Draconic Staff in the other. The incarnation of the purple dragon was floating with the illusion of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, which was spinning quickly as Lin Yun calculated and looked for his enemy’s weakness. The Book of Ten Thousand Mantras had been opened and put aside, allowing Lin Yun to cast level-9 spells almost instantly.

Around Lin Yun, mana was surging faster and faster, and the waves of laws were getting more and more powerful too. Even the projection of his Natural Demiplane seemed to be manifesting.

Crystal balls the size of a fist were released by Myers, and surrounded Lin Yun in a semicircle. Instantly, all the crystal balls exploded. Crystal stings that were hundreds of meters long stuck out. All the crystal stings’ paths seemed to have been calculated carefully, and none of them collided.

When all of the crystal stings burst out, they occupied every tiny bit of the space in a radius of a kilometer. The magic resistant crystals made it impossible to use mana in the range. Any power that was based on mana would be torn apart.

Lin Yun remained calm. He had flashed several times when the crystal stings burst out. His Fusion Shield’s protection was barely useful in front of the crystal stings. It could only stop the crystal stings briefly if it was hit.

Lin Yun seemed to be roaming in midair, with the crystal stings sticking out near him all the time. Each of his steps crossed at least dozens of meters. The longest one even covered 200 meters. Every time he took a stride, stings would be sticking out where he used to be.

In less than one second, he had flashed a few times, and emerged outside the sticking crystal stings’ coverage. The last sting brushed past Lin Yun’s hair.

It was like dancing on the tip of a blade. He would’ve been pierced by countless crystal stings if he’d made the tiniest error. However, thanks to the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array, he was able to calculate the vectors, speed, and sequence of the crystal stings, and predict what would happen. He could dodge them easily according to the calculated trajectories.

After dodging the attack, Lin Yun furrowed his brows. The waves of his mana and extraordinary power became more and more powerful. Even the projection of his Natural Demiplane was appearing more frequently.

He had to take everything into account precisely in the fierce battle. If he made any mistake, he would die. Myers’ strength was terrifying. He was almost cheating by summoning the magic-resistant crystals with his spells.

However, Lin Yun didn’t really counterattack. He simply kept dodging, forcing himself to squeeze out his limits. He was also testing an inspiration that occurred to him earlier.

Myers was expressionless. His face was as rigid as that of a dead body. His eyes were hollow without the sign of a soul too. After he missed the first attack, a lot of brilliant crystal balls appeared in the sky again. A terrifying amount of time had been condensed in the small crystal balls, and could unleash dozens of crystal stings.

Another hundreds of crystal balls appeared behind Lin Yun. It seemed that they were going to surround Lin Yun with the crystal barrier that had already covered 1,000 square meters.

All the crystal balls exploded again, and the same stings stuck out. Lin Yun walked in the middle of the dangerous storm of blades at ease while he calculated quickly with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Magic Array.

Right when Lin Yun was about to escape from the forest of crystal stings, the crystal stings ahead of him suddenly fell apart, revealing more crystal balls. Then, those crystal balls exploded, and countless more crystal stings appeared.

They pressed together like two hemispheres 1,000 meters in diameter that were closing. Lin Yun was right in the center of the hemispheres.

When the two hemispheres were closed, it would be impossible to escape. There would be 100 bloody holes left in his body. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was spinning quickly and working at full efficiency, surrounded by a mist of mana. Lin Yun’s face turned red too.

In the moment of life and death, everything in front of his eyes slowed down. The seething magic power inside and outside his body crossed the limits at this moment, and was ignited into fire. Intense extraordinary power burst out too.

His soul opened its eyes in his head. Immediately, a shackle was broken. The world in front of his eyes turned from monochrome to colorful. It looked different from before.

Two illusionary wheels that were spinning slowly appeared in Lin Yun’s eyes. They seemed to be two illusions, but they were the reflection of the same thing.

The vague illusion of his Natural Demiplane behind his back fully appeared. It did not glitter like an illusion any longer.

The power of laws swept out, and the elements of earth, fire, wind, and water blew up like a colorful ball of light.
