The real reason he forgot himself wasn't because the Sand Beast itself was terrifying.
Rather, it was because the Sand Beast didn't belong to this era.
A chill spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body. Cold sweat drenched his magic robe, and his forehead was also covered in cold sweat.
'How, how … How could this be? Sand Beasts can't appear in this era!'
After all, Sand Beasts appeared in Noscent at the end of the peak of the Magic Era. Up until the mana was exhausted, Noscent gradually came to an end. Countless God-like mages fell one after the other, and countless magic beasts went extinct. Most of Noscent turned into a desert, and at that time, Sand Beasts were one of the few magic beasts. They existed in the desert and specialized in killing humans.
At that time, Lin Yun had experienced the power of Sand Beasts. Sometimes, in order to extract a wisp of mana from the void, he would lie in the scalding desert for a few days, meditating without rest. In order to dismantle some parts of puppets, he would search the desert for ten days to half a month. Sand Beasts were undoubtedly the greatest danger in the desert.
He had even almost been swallowed by Sand Beasts several times. Now that he saw the Sand Beast again, those memories resurfaced in his mind and couldn't be erased. This kind of fierce magic beast had reaped the lives of countless mages at the end of the magic era. To the people of that era, Sand Beasts represented death.
Gales whistled as the Sand Beast suddenly charged at Lin Yun.
The reason why Sand Beasts could survive in Noscent, where mana was exhausted, was because they relied on their powerful bodies. They didn't know magic, and they didn't need to absorb mana. As long as they had a supply of flesh and blood, they could keep living. When encountering a Netherstorm, they would hide deep in the desert.
Lin Yun now knew why he had been detected before the Sand Beast appeared. It was because the Sand Beasts hid in the desert all day, and their aura was the same as the desert. Moreover, the Sand Beasts relied on their powerful bodies to fight and didn't have a wisp of mana. It would be strange if the Magic Array could detect them.
The Sand Beast pounced towards Lin Yun like a gust of wind.
At this moment, Lin Yun didn't panic at all. He raised his hand and a Mana Shield appeared in front of him. At the same time, three Frost Spikes shot towards the Sand Beast. Clang, clang, clang … The three Frost Spikes didn't injure the Sand Beast in the slightest.
In fact, Lin Yun, who came from the end of the world 30,000 years in the future, rarely fought against Sand Beasts. It was because Noscent's mana was exhausted in that era, and the little mana within a mage's body was used to save their lives. Unless it was a critical moment, who would be willing to waste the mana they had accumulated with great difficulty?
But he understood all of the Sand Beast's characteristics very well. It had a powerful physique and didn't understand magic. It was that simple …
These three Frost Spikes were only Lin Yun's probing attacks. This Sand Beast's strength was around level 35, but in the desert, the Sand Beast was like a fish in water. Its strength should be close to level 36, comparable to the Lesser Flame Overlord he met in the Magic Forest.
If it had been him in the past, he might have had a hard time dealing with a magic beast of this level.
"Rumble!"
One Flame Burst after another left a long trail of flames behind. Lin Yun's strength could only be described as frightening. With just a few Flame Bursts, he submerged the menacing Sand Beast in a sea of flames and forced it to retreat.
The power of Flame Bursts had never disappointed Lin Yun.
Even the Sand Beast, with its powerful physique, let out two roars on the spot under the bombardment of several Flame Bursts. Drops of fresh blood flowed down its sinister wounds and dripped onto the scalding sand, instantly evaporating.
Relying on Levitation, Lin Yun floated in the air and recklessly used his mana, casting Flame Bursts one after another. In a short twenty seconds, close to a hundred Flame Bursts fell on the Sand Beast's body like a dense rain.
This was the first time he had tried casting to the limit since his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. This kind of casting speed was unimaginable in the past. Close to a hundred Flame Bursts in twenty seconds could really scare people silly.
Each Flame Burst would cause a fierce explosion. The Sand Beast's flesh was lacerated by the explosions, and it kept roaring, but it couldn't do anything about it. It couldn't bear such a heavy injury in such a short time, to the point that it even lost the ability to escape underground.
The Sand Beast's vitality was extremely strong, it was one of the best among all magic beasts. Even if it suffered an extremely serious injury, it wouldn't immediately die, and it would recover after resting for a while. Naturally, at the end of the Magic Era, only a few Sand Beasts had been killed by humans.
As the last Flame Burst left his hand, the tenacious Sand Beast let out an unwilling roar. Its two dark red eyes also completely dimmed. With a "rumble", the Sand Beast heavily fell to the ground, stirring up a large amount of yellow sand.
After the Sand Beast died, Lin Yun didn't even glance at it. He just stood there and pondered, 'What kind of place is this?' The Sand Beast in the desert, the dusky sky, the blood-red sun, and the faintly discernible aura of the Void Storm.
In fact, when he first arrived at this desert, Lin Yun felt that this place was very similar to the Magic Era in his memories, it was almost the same. Before the Sand Beast appeared, he hadn't been able to confirm his conjecture.
But now, it seemed that everything here was an illusion, an illusion simulated according to a person's memories. As someone who came from the Magic Era, he naturally had a deep memory of the Magic Era. The dusky sky, the blood-red sun, the ferocious Sand Beasts, the Void Storm … Everything here couldn't possibly appear in this era.
The only explanation was that this was an illusion, fake, everything was fake.
After confirming this conjecture, Leon Merlin's appearance in the Pale Plane could be explained. It meant that the place with the deepest memory of Leon Merlin was the Pale Plane.
Lin Yun chanted an incantation, using the 3rd Tier Spell, True Sight, which was said to be able to see through all falsehoods and untruths. His eyes suddenly flashed, but the world before his eyes didn't change. The dusky sky, the blood-red sun, the boundless desert, the scalding sand, everything remained the same.
The result of the detection was the complete opposite of what he had guessed.
Lin Yun was clearly stunned, but he suppressed the shock in his heart. This showed that the person who had arranged all of this had extremely brilliant methods. They had arranged this place to be no different from the real world, and even True Sight couldn't see through it.
Heiss City!
Right, there was also Heiss City …
Heiss City had been built after the peak of the Magic Era came to an end. Nordson's mana was gradually drying up, and the mages realized that the situation was far from good, so they built this city.
As long as he found Heiss City, he would be able to confirm that this was only an illusion and not the real world.
According to the route to Heiss City in his memory, Lin Yun released a spell to guide him and walked in a certain direction through the scalding sand.
For an entire ten days, he walked without rest, encountering countless magic beasts. Among them, there was no lack of powerful sand beasts. He barely managed to kill them one by one before finally arriving at Heiss City.
Heiss City was exactly the same as he remembered. From afar, although it looked very majestic and magnificent, the huge Heiss City exuded a sense of desolation. There was not the slightest trace of vitality, just like an old man past his prime. Seeing Heiss City once again evoked countless memories in Lin Yun. After all, he had lived there for twenty years and had seen mages collapse in the dangerous environment at the end of the Magic Era. They had never returned after leaving Heiss City.
For a time, Lin Yun's heart was filled with emotion.
He walked with heavy steps into Heiss City. Everything here was familiar to him, and the buildings were reflected in his eyes.
As he passed through the deathly still streets, he aimlessly walked. As he saw everything in Heiss City, he felt as if he had returned to that dark and gloomy world. The entire world had fiercely shaken, large areas of buildings had collapsed, lives had been lost, and all kinds of sounds were echoing in his ears.
Heiss City was completely empty in the illusion. Only Lin Yun was walking alone in that huge city.
As he walked, Lin Yun suddenly stopped in a corner and raised his head to look at a great building, the crystallization of all of Noscent's magic civilization, the Shelter Tower!
The Shelter Tower had been built at the peak of the Magic Era. At that time, all of Noscent's power had been gathered, and countless alchemists had participated. There were several Saint Alchemists, not to mention Artisans and Master Alchemists. It took several hundred years to build this unprecedented building.
What was most inconceivable was that the technology used in the Shelter Tower's blueprint far surpassed the peak of the Magic Era. Even those Saint Alchemists had no choice but to sigh in admiration at the Shelter Tower's exquisiteness. It could only be described as a marvelous work of art. One of the Saint Alchemists had left a book in the decaying library with his words recorded on it.
Participating in the construction of the Shelter Tower was the proudest thing in my life.
But there was no relevant record of the person in charge of the Shelter Tower's construction. It was as if that person had never appeared in Noscent, and no traces of his existence could be found.
But there was indeed such a person. He took out the blueprint of the Shelter Tower and presided over the entire construction of the Shelter Tower. After that, no one mentioned him again.
Lin Yun attentively looked at the great building in front of him. It had been left behind after the peak of the Magic Era. When Noscent's mana was exhausted and it was slowly heading towards destruction, it sheltered Noscent for a few millennia, delaying Noscent's destruction until the last wisp of mana was exhausted and the entire world sank into darkness.
The entire Shelter Tower looked ordinary, but every part of it was carved with the most profound arrays. Even with Lin Yun's alchemy skills that could easily crack True Spirit Arrays, he couldn't understand them. The magic materials used in the Shelter Tower were the most precious in Noscent's history. Even in the era of countless resources 30,000 years ago, those magic materials were very difficult to find.
The appearance of the Shelter Tower thoroughly exhausted the magic materials of the peak of the Magic Era.
