Chapter 1396: Clash of Worlds

Nobody would argue with Lin Yun whatever he were to say at this moment. As long as Lin Yun found a solution to the plague and gave them a hand, they wouldn’t say anything back even if Lin Yun pointed at their noses and cursed them.

Lin Yun clapped his hands, and threw out the journal he retrieved earlier.

“I acquired this journal a while ago. The person who obtained the journal considered it a perfect lich transformation ritual that has no weaknesses.

“But in fact, the journal contains a sacrifice ritual that’s from Dereksey, the Bloody Lich. As soon as one conducts the transformation ritual, one will sacrifice one’s everything to the Bloody Lich and become his puppet.

“Also, I know that the journal has been spread out, and mine isn’t the only copy. We must find all undead mages and figure out who has performed the transformation ritual. We must investigate all undead mages, from level-9 Archmages to those in the Heaven Rank. We don’t know whether or not they will directly summon the Bloody Lich someday…”

All the mages looked at each other in bewilderment. They took turns and read what was in the journal. However, none of them saw anything wrong with the transformation ritual. It seemed that one could really turn into an invulnerable and immortal lich.

However, everybody put on an awful expression. People who were as strong as them knew that there weren’t perfect liches. Even the lich kings of the Plane of the Undead were not invulnerable.

Nobody doubted Lin Yun’s accusation, because the mages believed in perfection. The journal seemed to be made of beast hide, and was quite old. However, the language in it was the Common Tongue of Noscent. There were even obsolete grammar rules in the writing that were only used in the early years of Noscent.

It seemed that the journal was left after the fall of the Third Dynasty. Unfortunately, the content of the journal was so detailed that even a level-9 Archmage could understand, as if its writer feared that the readers would have trouble performing the ritual.

All the mages were silent, but they had made up their mind to purge the undead mages. All undead mages would be investigated because anyone who performed the ritual on the journal would surely turn into an undead mage and boast the power of death.

After the successful transformation, it wouldn’t be hard for them to pretend to be an undead mage.

The others were all silent. Noc, however, sneered, and said, “Mafa Merlin, you just offered a random alchemy journal, and demanded that all undead mages be investigated. How do we know what you’re up to? Resisting the ocean of undead creatures with another ocean of undead creatures is the easiest way. The undead mages made a lot of contributions in earlier battles, yet you want to vet our contributors?

“Mafa Merlin, you’ve been gone for such a long time. Who knows whether or not you’re still Mafa Merlin. After you arrive, instead of trying to resolve the plague, you’re eliminating the contributors who helped the resistant. What are you up to? Or rather, who are you exactly?”

Hardly had Noc opened his mouth when everybody put on a weird expression. The people of the Holy Light Alliance would defend undead mages?

With undisguised mockery on Levis’ face, Levis chuckled in disdain.

Noc is truly an idiot. He’s truly trying to get killed. Sir Merlin hasn’t retaliated against him yet, and he’s jumping out again. Does he think that Sir Merlin is meek?

He’s even questioning Sir Merlin’s identity. Does he think that everybody else is an idiot, and it’s easy to pretend to be a Saint Alchemist?

That idiot probably doesn’t even know that the Saint Alchemists carry a unique aura that nobody else has.

What a shameless and pretentious guy. He’s defending undead mages, the heretics that they’ve always been dying to kill…

Noc shamelessly sought trouble, and everybody put on a weird expression. Before they said anything, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Noc. A pure power of darkness exploded behind Noc, and countless dark tentacles tied him up.

A prideful look flashed in Noc’s eyes. His defense of holy light burst out, and hit the black tentacles. The power of holy light formed a brilliant shield on his skin. His extraordinary power gathered into a staff of light.

“Mafa Merlin, you goddamn bastard, I knew you had a scheme. Whatever you actually are and whatever scheme you may have, it’s not going to work. Dumbass in the dark, you’re exposed…”

Enshrouded in the holy light, Noc sacredly chanted a spell. His extraordinary power exploded like a tide, blowing up the meeting room into pieces. All the other mages in the fortress were instantly pressed down to the ground.

Lin Yun and Noc suddenly took action. Nobody in the meeting room expected that to happen. They were completely shocked.

Lin Yun suddenly made use of the power of darkness, and Noc resisted with all his strength, as if he had seen it coming. A crack appeared among the clouds, and a thick pillar of light covered the fortress. Then, a pair of white wings emerged behind Noc’s back. Even the projection of his Demiplane appeared, sending out even greater power of holy light.

Noc floated in the sky, and looked down at Lin Yun with mockery in his eyes.

Mafa Merlin, no matter how you escaped back after you were exiled, you don’t stand a chance anymore. You used the power of darkness against a holy light mage? Idiot. Haven’t you noticed that I’m the only uninfected mage in this place?

Whatever method you adopted, you’re destined to be purged by a real level-7 Heaven Rank mage.

It’s truly shocking that you’ve advanced into level 6 of the Heaven Rank so quickly. The level-10 spell that ignited the ground was quite shocking too. Unfortunately, Mafa Merlin, you’re facing me, not the ocean of undead creatures. I won’t give you a second to chant a spell.

Die, die here. Everybody will know that you are a dark creature that’s disguised as Mafa Merlin…

Nobody expected Noc’s sudden counterattack or Lin Yun’s action.

They were also dumbfounded at the strength that Noc released. They had never known until this moment that Noc was not infected!

Nobody had seen it coming, because it was a holy light mage who died earliest. The plague didn’t spread out until the level-7 holy light mage was infected and killed.

Noc had lied to everybody…

Levis opened his mouth and looked at Noc, who was in prime condition, in shock. He was truly astounded…

Noc has tricked all of us. He never used his extraordinary power, and made us think that he was infected too. It seems that he’s not infected at all.

A level-7 Heaven Rank expert in his prime state…

Screwed. We’re screwed. There’s no stopping him now. Even the strongest of us can only use half of his strength. Nobody is able to stop Noc now.

Sir Merlin was too reckless. He fell for Noc’s trap…

Sky, master of Sky City, frowned and watched the scene gloomily. He looked even more awful when he saw that Noc had retained all his strength.

Noc is not infected at all. He tricked all of us so that he wouldn’t need to join the battle. He tricked Sir Merlin too. We’re in trouble.

Sir Merlin just cast a level-10 spell. That astonishingly powerful level-10 spell must’ve been exhausting. Now that Noc has made up his mind to kill, nobody can stop him. Sir Merlin is too reckless. It’s clearly Noc’s scheme.
