But this time, Prome was rescued and regained control of the Holy Light Alliance. Every day, he would lead the Holy Light Alliance's self-proclaimed Priests in the rear. For the sake of their faith, for the sake of pursuing their own ideals.
These days, all the Priests displayed the greatest advantage of being Ascetics, tenacity and tenacity. They worked tirelessly to heal the injured and alleviate the pain of the infected mages.
And in the records of the future, this kind of thing had never happened. Nock shouldn't have been killed. The Holy Light Alliance's people were only mad dogs, but they weren't that stupid. Prome stayed in the deepest prison of the Holy Light Alliance.
After over eight thousand years, that prison was once again opened, and only a skeleton resembling a sun crystal was left inside. Prome's life had already reached its end, he had died inside. He could resist the corrosion of darkness, but he couldn't resist the corrosion of time. His life had thoroughly passed away.
And at that time, with the crazy development of Noscent's Planar Colonization Era, the Priests had already risen to prominence. They were no longer the Ascetics who were oppressed within the Holy Light Alliance.
And by the time these Priests had enough power to rescue Prome, all they saw was a skeleton, a holy object later known as the Holy Light Skeleton. It was the greatest symbol that countless Priests worshiped in the main city.
Now that he saw this legendary Priest who had cried out miserably but persevered, the number one Priest on the path, Lin Yun couldn't help feeling deep veneration for him. This had nothing to do with strength, it was purely out of respect for Prome's moral character.
Lin Yun didn't think that he would be able to do what Prome did. This kind of person was like a saint.
"Sir Prome, thank you for your selflessness, but this space might not be able to withstand the Extraordinary Power of an 8th Rank Heaven powerhouse. We should think of another way."
Prome's expression was firm and gentle.
"Sir Merlin, I know that you are a great Saint Alchemist and could be said to be the youngest Saint Alchemist in Noscent. Moreover, your understanding of alchemy far surpasses everyone.
"I'm sure you have a way to suppress my Extraordinary Power. As long as you can suppress it by one rank, I will be able to help you.
"I believe you also know that a Holy Light Mage will definitely play the biggest supporting role in the war against the Undead. Please don't refuse.
I know you definitely know of such a method! "
Lin Yun didn't say anything, but the surrounding people were already sighing. The Redbud Duke took the lead to persuade.
"Sir Prome, this isn't a joke. That terrifying Skeleton King's plague power can make 7th Rank Heaven Mages fall. Moreover, this space can't bear your power. We all understand your intentions. Compared to killing that hateful Skeleton King, controlling the current plague development is more important …"
The Grand Duke tried to persuade him, but he found out that Prome still didn't respond. He didn't want to give up and insisted on joining the battle.
Sigh, he's such a good person. There aren't any mages who are as kind and persistent as him anymore. No, I should say that those who have Sir Prome's character have all died a long time ago. It's been so many years, and Sir Prome is the only person I know …
'But that Skeleton King has the terrifying plague power. Apart from the Saint Alchemist Lord Merlin, no one would be able to resist that plague power. With Sir Prome's strength, he would definitely be able to resist it. But an 8th Rank Heaven powerhouse wouldn't be able to fight here …'
The group tried to persuade Prome, but Prome's expression was exceptionally firm. No one could stop him. After a few minutes of persuasion, everyone gave up.
Prome was famous for his firm willpower. He stayed in the dark prison of the Holy Light Alliance for over a millennium, but he still didn't compromise. Once he set his mind on something, no matter what happened, he wouldn't compromise. This was something everyone understood.
But everyone sighed in admiration, because they knew that there was nothing they could do about it.
This space passage could only bear at most the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm. The most important thing was Extraordinary Power, and Extraordinary Power came from a mage's comprehension of Laws.
There might be a difference in strength between every 7th Rank Heaven powerhouse, but at the same rank, their comprehension of Laws was basically the same. There wouldn't be any difference in their comprehension of a complete Law.
This was the foundation. What the passage couldn't bear was the essence, not the quantity.
Every Heaven Rank powerhouse could control the quantity, but they couldn't control the essence. For example, Lin Yun could release a 10th Tier Spell here without causing any damage to the passage's space. But if an 8th Rank Heaven Mage released a 9th Tier Spell, the space wouldn't be able to bear it and would collapse.
It was due to the difference in the essence of their Extraordinary powers that this space was like a wall made of magical bricks. Ordinary flames that engulfed the entire wall wouldn't burn it, but if it exceeded the limit, it would become a Sacred Swordsman's weapon that could pierce through the wall with a casual stab.
This was the essence of the boundary. As long as it didn't exceed this boundary, it wouldn't be a problem. But if it exceeded this boundary, a bit of power might cause huge destruction.
This was why a powerhouse of a higher rank only needed to use a bit of power to display huge destructive power.
Clearly, mages could control their own power, but they couldn't control their essence. If Prome wanted to participate in the battle, he would have to control his Extraordinary Power below the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm. This was something he couldn't control.
The group of people tried to persuade Prome for a long time, but to no avail. Some of them even tried to persuade Lin Yun, hoping that Lin Yun could think of a way to control Prome's power to the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm through alchemy.
Lin Yun didn't care if they tried to persuade him one by one, but Lin Yun had a headache when they tried to persuade him one after the other.
Moreover, it could be seen that some of these people only wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible in order to get rid of the plague, but there were also some who felt that they couldn't persuade Prome and could only come to persuade Lin Yun.
After all, Prome was the current ruler of the Holy Light Alliance, and he was also an 8th Rank Heaven powerhouse. His moral character was even more admirable by the Undead. Under such circumstances, they could only say a few nice words to persuade him, there was nothing else they could do.
Up until a day later, the Lionheart King personally sent a magic letter to Lin Yun, explaining the current situation. He told Lin Yun to think of a way to suppress Prome's rank and take him to the battle.
After all, this matter was very important. If they couldn't get rid of that Skeleton King, they might not have another opportunity. And the current situation had reached a stage where they couldn't keep dragging things out. Who knew what would happen if they kept dragging things out? No one dared to think about this problem.
Lin Yun sighed and looked for Prome. He looked at him from a distance. Prome was releasing holy light spells to alleviate the pain of a mage infected by the plague. He used the power of his spells and Lin Yun's potions to slow down the spread of the plague, but it was to no avail. That method could only stall for a bit more time, but it couldn't thoroughly cure the plague.
Seeing Prome comforting those infected with the plague with a gentle smile, it was as if his smile was very infectious. At the very least, many despairing mages regained some confidence and believed that they would definitely get better.
With a sigh, Lin Yun waved at Prome from afar.
"Sir Prome, I have a way to suppress a Heaven Mage's rank. Moreover, it's suppressing their Law comprehension and Extraordinary Power. But the process is very painful and requires your full cooperation to succeed. After suppressing it, your rank will fall to the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm, but it might cause some troublesome injuries. It might even damage your soul …"
Lin Yun didn't have time to finish his words before Prome nodded with a smile, as if Lin Yun was inviting him to a feast.
"Then I'll trouble Lord Merlin. I knew Lord Merlin would definitely have a way."
In the alchemy laboratory, a set of special alchemy devices was placed in the center. There were alchemy arrays on the ground and overhead, and these alchemy arrays coordinated with the operating table in the center to form a special Heaven Grade Array.
Prome was lying on that alchemy device, his hands, feet, shoulders, and head were all fixed in place. As the alchemy array started operating, Prome's mana was suppressed, and his Extraordinary Power was also somewhat suppressed. Moreover, Prome deliberately didn't resist. Prome was now like an ordinary person with a relatively strong body.
Lin Yun took out seven slender metal spikes. The surface of the spikes was covered in complicated and strange patterns. These were the patterns of the material itself. Only the tail of the spikes was embedded with a special Magic Tool.
Lin Yun pierced the spikes into Prome's limbs one after another. The spikes thoroughly pierced into Prome's body, leaving only the tail of the spikes above the plane. The spikes were stuck to Prome's bones, so they wouldn't affect his movements.
After four spikes, there were three left. One pierced through his chest, one through his back, and the last pierced through the top of his head.
Throughout the process, Prome remained calm. His facial expression did not change, but from his pale face and his twitching muscles, it was clear that he was in so much pain that he could no longer control his body.
Cold sweat slowly trickled down Lin Yun's forehead, especially the last one. He had to be careful, because he could accidentally injure Prometheus' soul. That was a very troublesome matter. There were very few potions and other methods to treat soul injuries in this era, but Lin Yun knew many potions and methods to treat soul injuries.
But many of the materials didn't exist in this era. Ten thousand years later, a kind of potion that could be bought in any alchemy shop to treat soul injuries had yet to be discovered in this era, because it wasn't a material produced in Noscent. It was a specialty of a new plane that would be discovered a few millennia later.
Soul power passed through Lin Yun's hand and slowly poured into the last needle. Through the needle, he sensed Prome's soul. Soon, he sensed a pure soul not far from the needle. This was only a feeling, the soul wasn't actually there. Being able to sense the location of Prome's soul made the rest a lot easier.
The needle was slowly inserted, and after a few seconds, all seven needles took effect. A wisp of peculiar power enveloped Prome's body and thoroughly sealed him within. Then, Lin Yun sensed Prome's aura and his rank started slowly dropping, falling to the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm.
Doubt flashed in Lin Yun's eyes. Just now, when he sensed Prome's soul, he discovered that Prome's soul was terrifyingly pure. It was like the soul of a newborn baby, without the slightest impurity or fluctuation.
As he was thinking about this, the scene before his eyes changed. The seal on Prome's body slowly dissipated and his aura stabilized at the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm.
When he reopened his eyes, Prome's complexion was still a bit pale. When he saw Lin Yun, Prome showed a gentle smile.
"Lord Merlin, we can set out."
After hearing Prome's words, Lin Yun threw away the doubts that had flashed in his mind and nodded.
"Sir Prome, don't you need to rest?"
A wisp of holy light appeared on the surface of Prome's body. After a few seconds, Prome's aura stabilized and his deathly pale face returned to normal.
Without alerting anyone, Lin Yun and Prome left the fort. The flaming area in the middle of the passage was no different from nothing to the two of them. The Burning Earth was released by Lin Yun, so it was very easy to control. The two entered the sea of flames and found an area without any flames around them.
The earth had already been burnt into boiling magma and had turned red. Fire crystals could even be seen in many places. This was something that would only appear in places with relatively dense flames.
After passing through the sea of flames, a terrifying undead aura assaulted their faces. Countless Undead were still over a hundred kilometers away, but their aura had already spread to this place. The aura of death and the flames kept colliding. It was like a cold wind was crazily whistling, trying to extinguish the sea of flames. Unfortunately, the range of the flames was too large and the aura of death couldn't extinguish it.
The alternation of hot and cold produced a terrifying storm. Tornadoes wreaked havoc on the ground, sweeping up sand and stones. On the pitch-black ground, it was as if there were dozens of meat grinders rotating one after another. Any living creature that entered this place would be sucked in and torn to pieces.
Standing on the ground and looking at the rotating tornadoes, Lin Yun's gaze became profound.
"Sir Prome, I'll need you to make the first move. Lure the Skeleton King here, and if possible, use Holy Light to seal off this area. At least that will buy me enough time to snatch the Heart of Plague from the Skeleton King."
Prome nodded with a serious expression.
A portal appeared in front of the two of them. The two of them stepped into the portal and disappeared. A few hundred kilometers away, above the sea of undead, a silver portal slowly opened.
Prome walked out of the portal with his Holy Light Staff in hand. The moment he walked out of the portal, it was as if a small sun had appeared in the sky. The power of Holy Light spread rapidly, illuminating an area of a few hundred kilometers.
The sea of Undead on the ground was suddenly illuminated by the radiance of the Holy Light. One by one, they let out painful howls. The Undead below Level 20 couldn't resist the radiance of the Holy Light. Each of their bodies emitted black smoke, as if they were being burned by flames. In a few seconds, the Undead below Level 20 howled and fell to the ground. Their bodies looked like they were being burned by flames.
The Skeletal Undead's bones shattered, turning into a pile of black bone fragments. As for the Undead such as zombies, their flesh and blood were burned to ashes, leaving only black bone fragments. As for the Undead such as ghosts, they were directly purified.
Just the Holy Light alone killed all the Undead creatures below level 20 within a few hundred kilometers. As for the Undead creatures between level 20 and 30, they could last a little longer. However, in less than ten seconds, the Undead creatures had already started dying from the Holy Light's radiance.
Lin Yun walked out of the Spatial Gate and couldn't help sighing as he looked at Prome, who had already turned into a small sun. Holy Light Mages were truly the bane of the undead. Just the radiance of Holy Light could cause terrifying damage to the undead.
He didn't even need to cast spells to clear most of the Undeads. After all, 90% of the Undeads in the sea of Undeads were Level 30 or below, with the majority being Low Level Undeads.
A Fire Mage might only need a Fireball to kill a Level 20 or below Undead, but they would still need to cast a spell. If there were millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Undead, even if they were all Level 20 or below Undead, an Ice Mage wouldn't be able to kill them all without exhausting their mana.
But to a Holy Light Mage, just the radiance of Holy Light was enough. Just the radiance of Holy Light could purify these Low Level Undead, numbers didn't have much of an effect.
Prome floated in the air, his mana transforming into Holy Light that sprinkled down wantonly. The Undead within the range of the Holy Light kept being purified. Outside the range of the Holy Light, a large number of undead creatures were frantically approaching, but they were all purified as soon as they entered the range of the Holy Light. Even the undead creatures above Level 30 couldn't last for more than a few minutes before being thoroughly purified.
