End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1447: Concession

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

This rarely happened to magic tools that were still being used. The only possible explanation was bad luck.

The crack meant that the Voodoo Doll’s ability was greatly weakened. In such a moment, it might not be effective at all.

The Voodoo Doll was a dark, hideous doll that had big creepy eyes and a bloodcurdling smile. The crack was right on her face.

The crack would’ve been insignificant damage on other occasions, but at this moment, it became a lethal weakness, and quickly expanded.

Alonzo, who had been prepared for an accident, determinedly squished the Voodoo Doll while chanting a spell the moment the crack appeared.

He used a completely different curse than he normally did. He had performed the ability by destroying the Voodoo Doll. It was also the way to maximize its power.

Alonzo had never planned to keep the Voodoo Doll, even though it was very difficult to make, and he had never made a similar doll over the years.

The Voodoo Doll was shattered, and the spell was cast successfully.

Instantly, Lin Yun had a special feeling, as if the strange power that enshrouded his soul partly disappeared.

At the same time, the Bloody Lich had also escaped from Enderfa and Syudos. His terrifying aura of death broke apart Enderfa’s torrent of spells and Syudos’ storm of chaos.

When the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras were used together, they would be more powerful than any independent magic tool. They were like a mage who was as strong as Lin Yun and who could cast any spell, even including the level-9 ones, instantly without worrying about the cost of mana.

When their power hit the Bloody Lich, it was like a river that had crashed into a rock which had stood tens of thousands of years on the ground. They couldn’t shake the Bloody Lich at all.

It was good enough that they delayed the Bloody Lich for a couple of seconds. Neither Enderfa nor Syudos suffered from the Curse of Misfortune. If Lin Yun had controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras in person, the result might have been different…

Alonzo suffered a little bit from recoil when he destroyed the Voodoo Doll to cast the spell. His protection was weakened to the minimum.

Lin Yun had been knocked away. The three deans were no match for the Bloody Lich at all. After the Bloody Lich went crazy, they were all flung aside.

Agalon’s protection was torn apart only after a moment of resistance. When the Bloody Lich was about to tear Agalon apart, something unexpected happened…

On the chaotic battlefield, mana and extraordinary power were moving randomly like a balloon that had just popped because Agalon’s protection had been torn apart.

When the Bloody Lich was only 100 meters away from Alonzo, the chaotic energy somehow clashed. It wasn’t very powerful when it was moving randomly like waves.

However, just like two waves would be twice as powerful when they collided, a few powerful tides of energy happened to collide exactly at this moment.

It was like a level-9 spell had just exploded. The Bloody Lich was hit right in the face while he was still chanting…

When a person was moving at a high speed, he would swallow a huge mouthful of wind if he opened his mouth. That was exactly what happened to the Bloody Lich. His curse was disrupted, and he was slapped in the face so hard that his neck was twisted.

Even more unfortunately, the curse he cast was one which would have dire consequences if it was disrupted. He didn’t expect that he would be disrupted in such a way. Instantly, the Bloody Lich’s mana was in disarray, and his aura of death became chaotic. His dry face exploded. A huge piece of his flesh and half of his chin blew up. That was because the uncontrollable power of death collided again inside his body.

The Bloody Lich was flung back, and dutifully floated in midair. In his dark eye sockets, two spots of light that were the size of needle tips glittered. Violent power of death gathered in front of him like countless whips.

The scene somehow got weird…

Lin Yun stood on the ground palely, and poured Health Potions into his mouth constantly. He almost choked twice when he was swallowing. The Book of Death had closed.

Agalon’s robe was ragged. His beard and hair were such a mess as if some dog had gnawed them. Alonzo looked even more hideous, and his mana waves were quite chaotic.

The three deans weren’t any better. They had been heavily wounded…

As for the Bloody Lich, one of his legs was missing. His head was tilted, and part of his cheek and half of his chin were gone. He looked quite ghastly. He seemed unable to control his power of death perfectly.

Nobody dared to move easily anymore…

At the cost of the Voodoo Doll, a top True Spirit Magic Tool that Alonzo had created with a lot of time and effort, everybody’s luck had been averaged to the same level.

Or rather, the Bloody Lich’s luck had been pulled down to an unbelievable level. The Curse of Misfortune was so powerful that even if everybody was sharing the bad luck, they didn’t get any luckier.

Then, the whole thing got weird. Nobody could leave, not even the Bloody Lich. They didn’t dare to do anything, either, because they didn’t know if something unlucky would happen.

Lin Yun and the others didn’t move, and the Bloody Lich certainly didn’t dare to, either. Just now, his complete real name had been recited, which meant that Lin Yun had his soul. Thanks to the god’s soul, Lin Yun couldn’t destroy his soul easily, but if the soul was released, the lich would surely die…

Now that he was suffering from the Curse of Misfortune, if he faced the King of Nightmares’ soul, he would certainly be completely swallowed, so he didn’t dare to move, either…

Nobody dared to do anything, and nobody could leave, either, which made the situation awkward.

The skeleton battlefield followed the laws of the Plane of the Undead. It was impossible for Lin Yun’s group or the Bloody Lich to escape until they killed the other party.

Earlier, the more time wasted, the more advantageous the situation would be for the Bloody Lich, but the tables had turned.

The Curse of Misfortune wouldn’t just expire; only death could lift it.

The Bloody Lich had set up a few serial traps, and caught all the prey, only to discover that Lin Yun had dragged him into the trap too at the critical moment…

The sad thing was that he had done everything to ensure that his trap was perfect and immaculate. It was impossible even for himself to break free.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, the Bloody Lich suddenly said, “Human beings, you’ve won. Let’s make a deal.”

Lin Yun grinned and looked at the Bloody Lich with mockery. He didn’t say anything. Alonzo snorted, and was busy dealing with the recoil. Agalon was busy settling down the mana too.

After a moment of silence, the Bloody Lich continued making his offer.

“I can open this place, and even abandon this body to remove the Curse of Misfortune, as long as you give my soul to me…

“I have an infinitely long time to waste, but you’re different. The Curse of Misfortune will haunt all of you. You’ll surely die here sooner or later.

“I know you’re trying to construct a Hexagonal Array to block the channel between the Leviathan Plane and the Plane of the Undead so that the Leviathan Plane wouldn’t be swallowed by the Plane of the Undead.

“You don’t have a lot of time. We’re all suffering from the Curse of Misfortune. I can wait, but you can’t.

“Even if I lose this body, it won’t be an unacceptable loss. Lucky human being who owns the Book of Death, you cannot destroy my soul. You should know that my soul is not normal.

“If we continue wasting our time, all of you will die, and the Leviathan Plane will be swallowed. Then, Fogus will definitely be ambitious enough to conquer the main plane.

“I don’t want your Book of Death; I simply want my soul back. Then you can destroy my body. We can sign a contract and complete the deal. It will benefit both of us, and it’s more in favor of you than me.”

The Bloody Lich’s proposal made a lot of sense. Alonzo gloomily kept silence, and Agalon was deep in thought. The three deans seemed persuaded too.

Lin Yun was surprised that the Bloody Lich was willing to concede, but come to think of it, it was indeed the best solution. Dying together wasn’t the ideal ending anyway. Everybody’s trouble would be resolved as long as the Bloody Lich’s body was destroyed.

Both Alonzo and Agalon looked at Lin Yun. They also knew that destroying the Bloody Lich’s body wouldn’t mean a huge loss for him. After so many years, the Bloody Lich must’ve prepared more than one body. Even if his backup bodies weren’t in the peak of level 49, they should be at least in the middle of level 49.

The Bloody Lich’s proposal was indeed the best solution to this awkward situation.

Getting to the bottom of it, it was a temporary truce, struck by both parties who knew they couldn’t kill each other, and should wait until next time they met.

Lin Yun grinned.

“You’re right. I’m indeed incapable of completely destroying your soul, and this is indeed an awkward situation. However, we’re in the skeleton battlefield…

“You’re the one who established the skeleton battlefield. It doesn’t matter however many people come here.. It’s possible to come into this place, but it’s impossible to leave. Anyone is free to come here…”
