And just now, Prome didn't seem to intend to undo the Holy Light Cage. He seemed to hesitate for a few seconds. Others might not be able to sense that hesitation, but Lin Yun clearly understood that this Holy Light Cage was a continuous spell that had to be maintained by a Holy Light Mage. The slightest break would cause the mage to dissipate.
Lin Yun shook his head to get rid of this thought and didn't think too much about it. Being able to summon four Holy Light Spirits to help during the construction of the Holy Light Cage was enough to show that this person's character was in line with the most sacred and radiant virtues. Being able to obtain the approval of those four Holy Light Spirits was enough in itself.
If one didn't have the purest soul and the most perfect character, they wouldn't be able to obtain the approval and help of the four Holy Light Spirits while constructing the Holy Light Cage.
Bravery with a sword, wisdom with a magic book, Holy Light with a magic staff, and devotion with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Being able to summon Holy Light Spirits proved that the Holy Light Mage himself possessed the same virtues.
"Sir Prome, we should quickly leave this place. The previous battle must have attracted the attention of many Undead. With the fall of the Skeleton King, the Undead might take advantage of this opportunity to launch a crazy counterattack …"
Prome's complexion was unhealthily pale, and his words seemed a bit weak. He only nodded without saying anything.
Lin Yun glanced at the other side of the Undead Plane. In the distance, a dense sea of Undead was surging, but the Undead didn't seem to be rushing over. Instead, they were fighting amongst themselves.
Soon, Lin Yun discovered a sea of countless Ghouls. These crazy Ghouls were frantically attacking the Undead in the surroundings of their territory, continuously tearing apart the Undead. It was already starting to become chaotic. It could be expected that the Undead army wouldn't have time to counterattack in a short time, they would be busy fighting amongst themselves.
Lin Yun 'expression was a bit strange, especially when he saw those Ghouls. He couldn't help thinking of Ymir. He didn't need to think to know that he had gone overboard with his brainwashing.
Judging from the current situation, Ymir had already started infighting even before the Skeleton King died. This guy probably believed that he could only get what he wanted after getting rid of all his competitors …
Lin Yun opened a portal and returned to the fortress with Prome. On the other side of the battlefield, Ymir was holding a thigh bone that was even taller than he was. He howled as he commanded his undead army to charge.
"Kill these fools, kill these skeletons that are protecting our enemies. Damn fools, damn skeletons, kill them …"
Ymir raised his head and looked at the large flock of birds circling in the sky. When he saw these black birds, it was as if he had encountered his greatest enemy, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
"These damned skeletons, they actually won't let us kill those dead birds that should have been burned to ashes. Let's kill them all, kill them all …"
Countless Ghouls and Zombies roared as they charged. They didn't have any formation or strategy at all. Their huge numbers were enough to overwhelm them like a tidal wave.
In the Undead Plane, the Undead Skeletons were the most indifferent to the Birds of Death. Their bodies were made of bones, so they didn't care about the Birds of Death at all. The Birds of Death never attacked the Undead Skeletons.
However, all the Ghouls, Zombies, and other low-level Undead with physical bodies had a natural hatred for the Birds of Death. After all, these Undead were all low-level Undead in the beginning. They were basically the food that the Birds of Death hunted, or in other words, food that was directly placed in the pot and waiting to be eaten …
Because there were many Mourning Birds in the Skeleton territory, Ymir wanted to kill them, but the skeletons wouldn't let him. They felt that it was an invasion of their territory, so they could just fight and take over the territory.
Right now, they weren't going to fight for territory, but to kill those Mourning Birds in the opposite territory. These hateful skeletons were all obstacles to their revenge, so they had to get rid of them all …
Inexplicably, the Skeleton Lords found that the Ghouls and Zombies they encountered this time seemed to have gone crazy. Even the cannon fodder were crazily charging.
After the wave of undead met, they didn't stop to fight each other and tear apart each other's bones and heads. Instead, they charged forward courageously. When they encountered a skeleton, they would casually wave their claws. It didn't matter if they didn't kill it, but when there were other undead following behind, they would casually wave their claws and kill them …
The Skeleton Lords were dumbfounded. With their intelligence, they couldn't understand what was going on. Why didn't these damned Ghouls and Zombies follow the rules of the Undead Plane?
Although no one had set up this rule, over the countless years, all the Undead Lords had done so. Suddenly, there was someone who didn't follow the rules, so they were dumbfounded …
The Skeleton Lords could never understand the hatred that the undead had for the Mourning Birds. It was an instinct engraved in their soul fire, especially the Ghouls. Their hatred for the Mourning Birds was simply …
Damn, we all eat meat, but now there's something stealing meat from us, and it's eating us like meat …
This was simply intolerable. If I can't bear it, then I'll just kill it …
Ymir's ideals were recognized by almost all the Ghouls, and the Zombies that had been harmed by the Mourning Birds also inexplicably recognized his ideals. Then, they became the craziest undead army.
Although these undead didn't know what ideals were, they only knew that killing the Mourning Birds was right, and that was enough …
Then, after the Skeleton King was killed, the Tainted Blood Territory became completely chaotic. At first, Ymir went to attack the neighboring Skeleton territory, and then the other Undead Lords followed suit. No one knew why they started fighting, but it was fine as long as they started fighting.
Now that the Skeleton King was killed, it was the best opportunity to fight for the territory. What were they waiting for? Let's fight …
Inexplicably, the Tainted Blood Territory became incomparably chaotic. Within a range of several thousand kilometers, there were Undead battlefields everywhere. Outside of the Tainted Blood Territory, there were also other Undead Overlords joining in. These newly joined Undead Overlords didn't even have time to react before they were dragged into the quagmire of war. The situation became more and more chaotic.
On the other side, Lin Yun and Prome had also returned to the fortress. After removing the seven needles from Prome's body, Lin Yun could not help but take the opportunity to sense Prome's soul again.
His soul was as pure as a newborn baby's, as pure as a piece of white paper …
After removing the seven needles and sending Prome away, Lin Yun felt that something was wrong. It was because of this Prome.
His soul was like a piece of white paper, and his moral character was perfect to the point of being inhuman. He was simply the incarnation of a saint.
After observing him for a few days, Lin Yun felt that he might have been overthinking it. He couldn't suspect that others couldn't do it just because he couldn't.
Next was the busy treatment. Many people were infected on the human defensive line, almost half of them were infected, ranging from High Mages to 7th Rank Heaven powerhouses.
Lin Yun held the Book of Death and roused the power of the Truth Chapter to absorb and devour the plague power of the infected mages. The Crystal Phoenix had been busy digesting the Plague Heart and couldn't summon it, but devouring the plague power spreading from the Plague Heart was very easy.
It took a week for the infected mages to be completely dispelled. Then, he spent a few days in the passage, walking through the area where the plague had spread, and all the remaining plague power was devoured by the Crystal Phoenix.
After dispelling the plague, Lin Yun didn't stay in the fort. The newly constructed fort was already very close to the sea of flames. Once the sea of flames dissipated, they would once again start fighting the Undeads.
And that would be enough time for the powerhouses on the human defensive line to recover. Without the plague power's restriction and weakening, the next battle wouldn't be as miserable as before.
Lin Yun left the mage army on the frontlines while he entered the Demiplane to research the newly obtained scepter.
With a closer look, the scepter looked like it was formed by piling up the skulls of countless Undeads. At first glance, it looked like a pile of tiny Undeads, but after careful observation, one would find out that those skulls contained all kinds of Undeads in the Undead Plane. Even the specter-type Undeads had distorted imprints on them.
The entire scepter was the abbreviation of the Undead Plane, but the surface of these Undeads' skulls was covered in a layer of paste, making the scepter have no special aura. It was at most a scepter carved from stone, purely used to support the Plague Heart.
After spending three days, he still hadn't found a way to break the seal on the scepter. On the fourth day, Lin Yun tried to drip a drop of blood on the scepter. In an instant, a small skull on the scepter seemed to wake up and devour the blood. Then, wherever the blood fell, small skulls would wake up one after another.
The layer of paste on the outside of the scepter looked like it had been corroded by the blood, and a wisp of pure death aura was released from within the scepter. Lin Yun's right hand, which was in contact with the scepter, rapidly turned into white bones. Moreover, this change was still spreading, and in just a second, Lin Yun's right hand and the front part of his arm had turned into white bones.
After letting go of the scepter, his skeletal right hand rapidly recovered, but he didn't feel any pain, as if everything had been an illusion.
Seeing this scene, a few words suddenly flashed in Lin Yun's mind. He instantly understood which Augment of the Book of Death this scepter was!
The Death Chapter!
After Bane conquered the Undead Plane, he obtained this Augment. In fact, quite a few of the Augments of the Book of Death were found in the Undead Plane, but where they were found and how they were found wasn't recorded in detail.
Because of this, there had always been a legend that the Book of Death was nurtured in the Undead Plane. Later, for some unknown reason, the incomplete Book of Death was lost in another place and ended up in the Bone Plane.
It ended up in that Bone Plane, which was why the Book of Death was incomplete. There was only the Book of Death itself, it didn't have a Component.
Many of the Augments found in the Undead Plane seemed to prove this point.
The Chapter of the Dead was one of the Augments found in the Undead Plane. It was a Augment exclusive to the Undead and possessed the purest death energy. Any living creature that held the Chapter of the Dead would become an Undead lifeform. Moreover, it was an all-around transformation. Mana would become death energy, and any spell cast would become Undead Spells.
Recalling how the Skeleton King had turned into a Zombie, Lin Yun suddenly understood. He had previously thought that it was the Plague Heart's power, and that the Skeleton King had turned into a Zombie to better display the power of Pegg's scepter. But now that he thought about it, the Plague Heart didn't seem to have that kind of ability. It was indeed the scepter's power, but it wasn't the Plague Heart, it was the scepter itself.
And the way to undo the Death Chapter's seal was to use vitality to dissolve this undead lifeform's power, and blood was the thing that contained the most vitality.
Lin Yun took out a bottle of Health Potion and poured it on the Death Chapter. The rich vitality was like the strongest acid to the Death Chapter's seal, rapidly corroding the outer layer of protection. Those silent little skeletons on the surface of the scepter also greedily devoured the rich vitality of the Health Potion.
The more vitality it devoured, the thicker the pure death aura emitted by the scepter. That was the purest death energy, it was like the power of the Undead Plane's source, darkness, deathly stillness …
After an hour, all the little skeletons on the scepter woke up. These little skeletons rotated and slowly assembled into the shape of a skull. There seemed to be Soul Fire burning within the skull.
The terrifying death energy corroded everything in the surroundings. Many of the tools in the laboratory seemed to have experienced countless years of decay in an instant. Everything turned ashen, and even more death energy wanted to corrode Lin Yun's body.
Lin Yun looked at the skull wantonly spreading death energy in front of him and smiled. He took out the Book of Death, and when the Book of Death appeared, sharp soul shrieks kept echoing. It seemed that the little skeletons forming the skull felt a huge threat.
The wantonly spreading death energy frantically rushed towards Lin Yun, but this death energy was completely devoured by the Book of Death as the chains on the surface of the Book of Death collapsed. The devouring power kept increasing, and it soon devoured all the death energy in the laboratory.
The small skulls that made up the skull were also unable to maintain their original shape. The huge skull was torn apart and turned into countless small skulls that carried terrifying death power and frantically poured into a new blank page of the Book of Death.
Numerous small skulls appeared on the pages of the book. These small skulls constantly struggled and rolled, screaming and howling, but they could not put up any effective resistance. They were easily suppressed.
In less than a minute, the Power of Death on the surface of the page rapidly converged, and finally turned into the image of a skull on the page. It did not look scary at all, but it exuded the purest and densest aura of death through the image.
And Lin Yun thoroughly understood the ability of the Death Chapter through the Book of Death.
The greatest ability was to transform oneself into an Undead lifeform. This transformation wasn't a disguise, it was a complete transformation. An Icicle spell might turn into a Bone Spur, mana would turn into death energy, and spells would turn into Undead Spells. Everything would be no different from an Undead lifeform.
But this transformation was reversible. As long as the transformation was removed, the Undead would immediately return to their original appearance.
And when an Undead lifeform held the Death Chapter, they could transform into any kind of Undead lifeform. Naturally, this required a huge amount of power, and the Death Chapter alone couldn't accomplish this. It required the cooperation of the Book of Death.
The reason why Pegg's scepter was so powerful was because of the power of the Death Chapter, apart from the Plague Heart. The Death Chapter contained the purest death energy, and it was simply omnipotent to Undead lifeforms.
The Death Chapter had been thoroughly fused with the Book of Death, and a skull symbol appeared on the back of the Book of Death. The number of chains binding the Book of Death had doubled. Before the Book of Death was used, the chains firmly bound the Book of Death, and any Augment that wanted to rebel couldn't do anything.
After sensing the power of the Death Chapter, Lin Yun opened the Book of Death and roused the power of the Death Chapter. In an instant, a layer of gray death energy flew out of the Book of Death and turned into a revolving mist that wrapped Lin Yun within.
There was no pain, but it was a very strange illusion. It felt as if his vitality had been transformed into another kind of power, and his mana had been completely transformed into death energy.
The mist dissipated, and Lin Yun had turned into a deathly pale skeleton. He opened his mouth and spat out an Ice Rune, preparing to create an Ice Mirror. But the original Ice Rune had turned into a Death Rune filled with death energy.
The ice mirror also turned into a shield made of white bones. It looked like a mirror, but no matter how one looked at it, it was very awkward. It was a white bone shield that looked exactly like a mirror … …
Lin Yun extended his claws and scratched his head. A series of sparks appeared where the claws and his head touched. It was as if two pieces of metal were rubbing against each other, but Lin Yun didn't feel anything special.
After shaking his head, he turned and walked to the other side of the alchemy laboratory. In front of a mirror-like alchemy tool, Lin Yun calmly looked at his new body and his jaw kept opening and closing.
His laughter transformed into soul fluctuations and spread, but not a single sound came from the alchemy laboratory.
Lin Yun wanted to grin, but he discovered that the skeleton simply couldn't grin. It could only keep opening and closing its jaws to form a grin.
