Chapter 1404 - Swallowing Soul Fire (1/2)

Even Lin Yun’s voice had manifested as soul waves. There was nothing about him that didn’t look like undead creatures. His aura of death was even purer than that of normal undead creatures. He appeared as the purest undead creature.

Also, after he turned into a skeleton, his bones were unbelievably sturdy, just like a level-46 skeleton’s. A lot of sparks would be raised when he rubbed his hands. The hard alchemical devices in the lab were squeezed into a bizarre shape easily by his narrow and long claws.

He had been transformed into the most perfect skeleton. He even had the feeling that he was what the most perfect skeleton should be like.

Looking at himself in the mirror and the soul fire that was burning inside the skull, Lin Yun extended his finger into his eye socket. When he touched his soul fire, he felt like he had touched his own soul. The soul fire was just soul power in a different form…

Even Lin Yun couldn’t find any sign that suggested that he wasn’t an undead creature. He was absolutely flawless…

He thought of something, and inputted mana into the Book of Death again. The Chapter of the Dead glittered again, and abundant power of death spread out. Very soon, Lin Yun walked out of the mist in his original appearance. He looked the same, but his face was blue, and there was not any sign of a living creature on him. His eyes were covered in white membranes. Even his visuals had changed too.

Everything around him looked black and white. Only the living creatures were bright red. He could detect their auras from right here. Looking out of the lab, he saw living people dozens of kilometers away. Their auras rose to the sky, and were as eye-catching as lighthouses in a dark night.

He found no flaw that betrayed him at all after he turned into a zombie. He was a real zombie in his own eyes or those of anyone else.

With a thought, he turned into a skeleton again, and summoned Lord Shawn and Enderfa. Lord Shawn appeared, half asleep, only to find that a skeleton was staring at him with soul fire in his head.

“Damn it, an undead creature!”

Lord Shawn was so terrified that all his hair was rising. He slapped without thinking, and the third eye between his brows slowly opened.

Lin Yun extended his claws, grabbed Lord Shawn’s neck, and picked him up.

All of Enderfa’s three faces seemed terrified. He silently summoned the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and looked at Lin Yun vigilantly.

The face on the left side grimaced, and seemed quite brutal.

“Idiot, let go of him, or you will die miserably. No, you will wish that you were dead!”

The right face mumbled something in a low voice, and the face in the middle was quite solemn.

“Damn it, what’s Merlin doing? Why is an undead creature here? Did he capture the undead creature instead of killing it?”

Lin Yun’s jaws moved up and down. Before Lord Shawn and Enderfa counterattacked, his soul waves had spread out.

“Shawn, Enderfa, what do you think? Did you recognize me?”

Lin Yun’s words echoed in Lord Shawn’s and Enderfa’s heads. They couldn’t seem more shocked.

Lord Shawn gloomily screamed at the loudest of his voice.

“Oh, poor kid, how did you turn into an undead creature? You’re even a goddamn skeleton. Oh, this is truly bad…”

All of Enderfa’s three faces were sulking too.

“Merlin, how did you turn into an undead creature? There’s no future in being an undead creature. How did you die?”

Even Lord Shawn and Enderfa couldn’t recognize him. Lin Yun was instantly amused. They were very familiar with him, yet they couldn’t identify him as a counterfeit undead creature, so he was reassured.

Exactly at this moment, the lab was quietly opened, and Marianna snuck in like a thief. She then carefully closed the lab. However, the moment she turned around, she saw that a skeleton was standing behind her with Lord Shawn in his hand.

Marianna was so scared that her face became pale. She was about to spout out the power of gods, but Lin Yun’s skeleton picked her up and shook her, making her behave. The power of gods at her mouth dispersed like smoke too.

“Bastard, goddamn undead creature, filthy skeleton, let go of me. Let me tell you, I’m the closest friend to your monarch. Let go of me, or you’ll be dead for sure…

“You’ll be burnt in the well of holy light. Let go of me right now…”

Seeing Marianna, Enderfa hid himself in the shadows on the ceiling. Lord Shawn calmed down and watched the drama too.

Lin Yun held Lord Shawn between his arm and ribs, and spanked Marianna with his free hand. After a few spankings, Marianna became obedient, and stopped saying that the monarch of the undead was her friend.

After she was spanked, Marianna began to grimace at Lord Shawn, and bragged again. “Let go of me. I’m a friend to the master of this place. Let me tell you, Uncle Merlin is very terrifying. Even if you are an undead creature, Uncle Merlin will still eat every last piece of you. If you let go of me, I’ll tell you how to get out of this place so that Uncle Merlin won’t make you into soup…”

After Marianna finished, Lord Shawn covered his eyes with his claws. Lin Yun moved his jaws, and sent out soul waves again.

“Marianna, it seems that you’re as bold as before. Why don’t I remember that I like making skeleton soup?”

Gray mist enshrouded the skeleton that Lin Yun turned into. After the mist was gone, Lin Yun grinned, and looked at Marianna, who was dumbfounded.

“Huh, Marianna didn’t see me through, either, so nobody will possibly recognize me as a human being. Marianna, just behave and stay here.

“If you don’t want to be beaten up, you’d better not enter my alchemy lab without permission next time. Also, don’t climb the pillar, either. It’s dangerous, and may get you killed…”

Marianna knew very well that she would be beaten up if she argued, so she nodded obediently.

Lin Yun threw Lord Shawn aside, and then beat Marianna again.

“Marianna, I won’t tell Xiuban this time. If this happens again, instead of beating you in person, I’ll just tell Xiuban…”

After hearing that, Marianna, who was rubbing her butt and grimacing, clammed up, as if she were not going to complain.

If Xiuban was informed, then another beating would be underway. The only parenting method that the beastmen knew was beating. Their children were too sturdy to be hurt anyway.

Lin Yun left the Demiplane in a good mood. Marianna, who had always been trying to cause trouble, finally became obedient. He was going to the Plane of the Undead anyway. If she popped out of nowhere again, then it would be a problem.

The war came to a hiatus, and wouldn’t resume until the flames died out. When that happened, the channel would be able to endure the power of level-8 and even level-9 Heaven Rank experts.

When the channel could endure the power of level-9 Heaven Rank experts, it would be the best and only opportunity to seal the channel.

Considering the situation, it shouldn’t be a problem. Prome, the purest holy light mage, would supervise the channel, and prevent the army of the undead from marching across. When the channel could bear the level-9 Heaven Rank power, the Lionheart Prince and the forest elves’ king would stay in the rear, and ensure that nobody passed.
