Chapter 1407 - Kingdom of Nightmares (1/2)

Everything that Lin Yun had seen in the forest of bloody trees and the dark castle allowed Lin Yun to confirm Lesonbora’s identity. He then disguised himself as an envoy for the King of the Undead.

Lesonbora wasn’t suspicious at all. He was almost scared to death. He had to kneel before Lin Yun, a level-46 skeleton king, even though he was a level-48 vampire ancestor.

Normal undead creatures weren’t as shrewd as Lesonbora. Lin Yun might be only in level 46, but the fact that he knew the King of the Undead’s name suggested that he was very close to the King of the Undead, and might have been personally trained by him.

Lesonbora did not dare to offend such an undead creature. Even if he were the first ancestor of vampires, he wouldn’t dare to defy the King of the Undead.

There was indeed only one king in the Plane of the Undead. All the dark creatures had to acknowledge that. It was because he was a horrifying being beyond the Heaven Rank. He could completely kill all the vampire ancestors with only one hand…

Seeing that Lin Yun remained silent, Lesonbora felt even more terrible.

What a stupid undead creature. Does he not have any empathy at all? He’s truly an idiot…

Lesonbora complained in his heart, but did not dare to show any disrespect. Even though he believed he could tear apart the level-46 skeleton king easily, he did not dare to even hurt his finger bone.

“Esteemed skeleton king, all has been carried out according to the King of the Undead’s instruction. All those stupid human beings fell for the trap.

“They cannot possibly escape from the Kingdom of Nightmares. They’ll be forever trapped there. The King of Nightmares has perished. Nobody can run out of the Kingdom of Nightmares after falling into it.

“They’ll be trapped there for a long time, but they won’t die any time soon. One of them is terribly strong. Four of my brothers are now permanently gone. They were killed by that horrifying expert.

“I was the only one who survived, but I was dying too, and I had to heal myself first. I was unable to report to the King of the Undead in time. You must forgive me…

“As it happens, I have a gift for the skeleton king…”

Lesonbora hesitated for a moment, and regretfully took out a black stone box that had weird bloody patterns on the surface. When Lesonbora opened the box, a soul fire that was emitting terrifying soul waves burnt quietly inside it.

Feeling the soul fire, Lin Yun’s own soul fire was shivering beyond his control. That was his instinctive reaction.

The soul fire of a level-48 undead creature, which was in the perfect condition, contained a dozen times more soul power than Lin Yun did.

The soul fire was so enormous that if Lin Yun swallowed it, he would receive enough death marks for him to improve his understanding of the law of darkness to the highest level.

His mastery of the law of darkness would be even better than that of the laws of earth, fire, water, and wind. All he needed to do was digest the soul fire. That was the talent of undead creatures.

Normally speaking, a level-46 undead creature would surely explode if they swallowed such a massive soul fire, but Lin Yun was different. He could only utilize one-tenth of the soul fire at best. Only the power in that range wouldn’t cause negative influence on him. If he swallowed all of it, there would be negative influence.

Lin Yun stowed away the box, and nodded at Lesonbora.

“The King of the Undead will understand you. You’ve done an excellent job. The King of the Undead said that if those human beings are alive, more strong human beings will come for them.

“We’ll send all of them into the Kingdom of Nightmares. The final victory will be ours. We will be unprecedented victors!”

Lesonbora was finally relieved. Exactly at this moment, Lin Yun suddenly waved the scythe of death, and dismembered him.

Lesonbora, after being dismembered, didn’t die. His head rolled on the ground, and looked at Lin Yun with shock and confusion, having no idea why Lin Yun would suddenly attack him.

The special power of the scythe prevented him from transforming or recovering. He was already heavily wounded in the first place, and he was even more badly injured now. He would’ve been dead if he had had a soul…

“Esteemed skeleton king, why are you doing this? I’ve carried out the King of the Undead’s order…”

Lin Yun dropped the scythe of death, and gray mist arose on his body. After the mist dispersed, Lin Yun regained his original appearance. His vigor made him as dazzling as a sun in Lesonbora’s eyes.

“Human being. You are a human being. Goddamn it. That’s impossible. It’s absolutely impossible…”

Lesonbora was already going crazy. How could a skeleton king turn into a human being?

Lin Yun ignored Lesonbora’s screams, and sprayed some of his blood. He took out the alchemy array he prepared, and threw Lesonbora’s limbs into it. He then activated the alchemy array with his blood.

Very soon, Lesonbora’s devastating screams came from the alchemy array.

“Human being, you won’t end well. The King of the Undead won’t spare you, nor will the vampires. It’s useless even if you kill me. All of those people are now in the King of Nightmares. Nobody can possibly rescue them.

“It’s useless. They’re already trapped there. Even the King of the Undead cannot rescue them. You will die a miserable death. Aaaaaaah…”

While screaming desperately, Lesonbora turned into a pool of blood. Lin Yun thought for a moment, and threw the scythe of death into the alchemy array.

It was very difficult to kill a vampire ancestor. However, he had learned from his experience that it was much easier to treat them as special living materials. Vampire ancestors didn’t have souls anymore. They would be completely dead if they were sacrificed as special materials.

He killed the level-48 vampire ancestor, and used him as a material to upgrade his scythe of death. Very soon, bloody stripes appeared on the surface of the scythe that seemed to be made of pale bones. The entire scythe turned burning red, and looked even more horrifying. It seemed much more intimidating than before.

Originally, the scythe was just a level-47 skeleton king’s weapon that was essentially part of its body, but it could compare to a level-49 skeleton king’s scythe at this moment, and was even more powerful than that in certain aspects.

He picked up the scythe, which was shrieking. One of the new bloody skulls on the scythe glared at Lin Yun maliciously. Even the scythe was shivering, as if it was going to soar and take Lin Yun down.

Lin Yun shook his head, and transformed into a skeleton. He emitted the purest aura of death, and the scythe of death instantly fell quiet. The skull stared at Lin Yun for a few seconds, and finally opened its mouth, swallowing a bit of the aura of death that Lin Yun released. Instantly, the scythe’s aura became the same as Lin Yun’s, and it acknowledged Lin Yun.

Lin Yun scratched his skull with his claws, causing a large number of sparks. He was quite amused.

The birth of every skeleton king was a coincidence. A skeleton king could pick up a scythe of death when it was born. If the scythe acknowledged him, then it would swallow some of the skeleton’s power of death, and turn him into a skeleton king. If it didn’t acknowledge him, it would just kill the skeleton, and swallow his soul fire, continuing to wait.
