"Sir Barton, I think you misunderstood, you must have misunderstood …" At this time, Weiss walked out of the group. "We didn't deliberately barge in, and we definitely won't disturb His Highness Baiers' eternal rest …"
If possible, Whis would rather face the siege of a huge army of skeletons than a Lich.
No one here knew how frightening a Lich was more than he did.
When he had just advanced to the Archmage realm, he had encountered a Lich on an expedition in the Dark Azure Plane. Normally, it was very difficult for a place like the Dark Azure Plane to produce Undeads, but he had encountered one that time, and it was a powerful Lich.
The Lich's precise casting, control of spells, and calculation of spell cooldowns were still fresh in Whis' mind. Moreover, that had only been a Lich that had lived for a few hundred years, while this Lich called Barton had lived for several millennia.
Even if he was at his peak, he could only run away in the face of this terrifying existence.
Moreover, they didn't plan on provoking Baiers, they only wanted to find the Teleportation Array leading to the next floor as soon as possible. It would be best if they could immediately leave this magic tower.
Thus, he explained and addressed the Lich as "Sir Barton".
"Oh?"
The two phosphorus fires in the Lich's eye sockets flickered as he gloomily looked at Weiss before letting out a sharp sneer. "Humans are truly naive …"
"You … Sir Barton, what do you mean?"
Weiss' expression greatly changed, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He had a bad premonition after hearing the Lich's words. Facing this Lich that was close to level 37, he felt a bit guilty.
"This is His Highness Baiers' country. No humans have set foot here for several millennia. You are the first humans to come here, and you will also be the first humans to accompany His Highness Baiers in death …" The Lich's gloomy voice didn't have a single trace of emotion. The bone staff in his hand suddenly shook and burst with a white light. In a flash, Undead Spells were cast.
At the same time, several ice walls suddenly appeared in front of everyone, emitting a cold aura. Suddenly, there was a "kacha kacha" sound. Lin Yun's face was solemn. He glared at Whis and said, "It's useless to talk nonsense with it. If we want to leave here safely, we have to kill it …"
After saying that, he didn't care about Weiss' reaction and used Fire Elemental Incarnation. His whole body was like a meteor as he quickly rushed over. He softly raised the Doom Staff in his hand and shocking mana fluctuations spread out, bursting with a bright light.
A Starlight Rain of Fire, giving off searing heat, appeared above the Lich's head, and fireballs with long trails of flames descended, instantly inundating the Lich.
This was the highest level of fire magic Lin Yun could use as a 5th Rank High Mage. The Rank 6 Starlight Fire Rain had great destructive power, and it almost covered this small area. The void seemed to gradually distort under the high temperature, and the originally pitch-black soil was burnt to a crisp in just a few seconds, and the black mist flowing in the air was completely evaporated.
Lin Yun clearly understood that Barton, Lagulin, and the others must have been influenced by Baiers and turned into Undeads. This was very similar to Prince Barov's tomb he had gone to.
"Aaah!"
The Lich let out a mournful scream. It was caught off guard and was hit by the countless fireballs, creating dazzling sparks. But these attacks were far from enough to truly injure that Lich. Although it was hit by a High Tier Fire Spell, the Lich's skeleton was only left with some burnt pitch-black marks.
This Lich had existed for several millennia, and its skeleton was extremely tough. Moreover, death energy was twined around it, greatly increasing the Lich's defensive abilities. Even some newly advanced Archmages would find it very difficult to leave a mark on its body.
"Human, you have infuriated me …"
As the two phosphorescent lights fiercely throbbed, the Lich let out a sinister roar and stared at that fiery-red silhouette. Although that person was wrapped in flames, it could still see that this was an unreasonably young mage. Moreover, the young mage's appearance made it tremble with fear. It hadn't felt that kind of feeling for several millennia. It only felt that way when it was in front of Baiers.
Originally, with its casting speed and reaction speed, it could have easily dodged the attack of the Starlight Rain of Fire. But just now, it clearly felt as if it was being suppressed by an indescribable power, to the extent that it could not exert its full strength. That was why it was hit by the Starlight Rain of Fire.
This was the first time it had been injured in thousands of years, so it was easy to imagine how angry it was. It gently waved the white bone staff in its hand, and a wave of death power immediately surged out. After a tumble, it turned into a dozen bone spears. The bone spears had extremely strong penetrative power, and the tip of the bone spears was wrapped in a layer of pitch-black power. That was the purest death power.
To Undead creatures, the Power of Death was undoubtedly the best tonic, but to humans, it was a deadly poison. Even if it was just a slight touch of the Power of Death, it would quickly spread to the whole body, continuously corroding one's life force, and in the end, it would cause one's life force to be lost, and one would rapidly age.
The dozen Bone Spears simultaneously flashed and instantly tore through the air, piercing through the pitch-black mist. And just as the Bone Spears arrived, Lin Yun had already used Flame Flash to reach another location. But just as he landed, a storm of undead spells fell on him.
It turned out that those Bone Spears were only bait to make Lin Yun give up on Flame Flash. Lin Yun already understood at this time and couldn't help coldly glancing at the Lich, frowning. He softly waved the Doom Staff in his hand and a dazzling Runic Shield appeared in front of him a second before those undead spells fell. The Runic Shield became dimmer and dimmer as the undead spells fell on it.
Fortunately, the Runic Shield managed to resist the Lich's attack and he raised his hand to cast five Flame Bursts, dragging long trails of flames as they swept towards the Lich. Then, an Ultimate Spell slot on the Book of Death instantly darkened. At the same time, a huge Fire Arrow appeared out of nowhere, followed by a loud bang. The Lich was pushed back four or five steps by that Fire Arrow, and a piece of bone on its chest had already turned pitch-black and slightly caved in.
This was caused by an Ultimate Fire Arrow.
In a short few seconds, Lin Yun and the Lich were evenly matched. This couldn't help startling Weiss and the others. They had truly underestimated the young mage's strength.
In fact, they didn't know that Lin Yun had Undead Predator and could suppress a part of the Lich's power. If the Lich was at its peak, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long before falling into a disadvantageous position.
After all, this was a Lich close to level 37!
Moreover, it had been a Peak 9th Rank Archmage during its lifetime.
Lin Yun was alone, and even with Undead Predator, it would be impossible to defeat such a frightening existence.
And at this time, when Weiss and the others saw that the Lich was injured, their morale was greatly boosted. They kept chanting incantations and one fire spell after another flew out of their hands. Especially Weiss, after seeing the young mage's methods once again, his previous worries were already thrown out of the window. He used Wind Elemental Incarnation and instantly disappeared, but countless wind spells appeared out of nowhere around the Lich.
"Human, I'll make you pay the price …"
At this time, the Lich kept roaring. It was somewhat strenuous to deal with the attacks of a dozen people. The two throbbing phosphorus fires couldn't help looking at Lin Yun, their gazes filled with resentment. Most of the wounds on its body had been caused by the young mage. Although those were insignificant injuries, it was already thoroughly enraged.
Apart from the young mage, the others were restraining its power, giving the young mage an opportunity to attack.
As time slowly passed, more and more wounds appeared on the Lich's body, and even a small crack appeared on the bone staff in its hand.
But at this time, the Lich, who had fallen into a disadvantageous position, suddenly let out a sinister laugh. A bone-chilling aura emitted from its body as white flames appeared out of nowhere. The Lich's entire body was wrapped in that layer of white flames, and the spells whistling towards it were all submerged in the white flames, unable to injure it in the slightest.
That layer of white flames seemed to have great magic resistance.
The Lich looked very strange at this time.
That layer of white flames didn't emit a high temperature, but rather a bone-chilling chill. Everyone felt their bodies turn cold under that chill. Ross, Merlin, and a few of the weaker youths even had to circulate their mana to expel that chill.
The Lich suddenly disappeared and then strangely appeared behind Lin Yun. Its white hands were tightly grasping the bone staff as it chanted a deep incantation. The Lich summoned a dozen Bone Spears and pierced Lin Yun's body. But then, it was stunned, no blood flowed out of the young mage's body.
"Substitution Puppet … How could this be!" The Lich let out a sharp roar, its tone filled with alarm. Just this mistake would be enough to consign it to eternal damnation.
At this time, a blazing wave of air attacked, and the Lich abruptly turned its head to see endless spells carrying huge momentum sweeping towards it. Every single one of those spells had the power of a 3rd Tier Spell. Eight or ten of them might not be much, but over a hundred spells simultaneously … If the Lich had a scalp, it would definitely feel numb.
A dusky Spirit Formation that contained a dense death energy appeared. The moment this Spirit Formation appeared, it sealed off the black mist in the surroundings. The death energy surged into the Lich's body like a tide. The two phosphorescent flames in his eye sockets burned even more crazily.
