As a Higher Undead lifeform, the Lich innately had the ability to use Undead Barriers. The Undead Barrier could be said to be the Lich's strongest defensive method. It was composed of countless amounts of death power, and even if an opponent of the same rank burst out with their full power, it would still be difficult to break through the Undead Barrier.
At this time, the Lich finally felt some pressure as the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's spellwave rushed over. Even though it had been besieged and had suffered many injuries, it hadn't used the Undead Barrier to defend itself. But now, it had no other choice. That young mage was a huge threat to it.
This was the first time in several millennia that the Lich had panicked.
Lin Yun used a Flame Flash and relied on Levitation to float in the air. He raised the Doom Staff and hot Fire Elemental fluctuations rapidly spread as Flame Bursts flew out of his hand and bombarded the Undead Barrier. Every Flame Burst would dissipate a part of the Undead Barrier's death power. With the continuous bombardment of a hundred Flame Bursts, the death power forming the Undead Barrier was already somewhat thin.
If it had been some time ago, he might have been powerless against that Undead Barrier, but he had inadvertently discovered the existence of the Element Chapter in the study on the 9th floor of the Magic Tower. After merging that chapter with the Book of Death, the spells of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire received a terrifying amplification.
Thus, his hundred Flame Bursts could erase more than half of the death power forming the Undead Barrier. Suddenly, the flames covering his body dimmed before thoroughly disappearing, replaced by a bone-chilling aura. Layers of Ice Armor covered his body as he instantly completed Ice Elemental Incarnation and stood upright on the ground like an Ancient God. Under the buff of the Element Chapter, the Ice Elemental Incarnation he was using was a lot more tyrannical than when he had dealt with the Lesser Flame Overlord a few months ago. Firstly, his strength had increased, and secondly, it was the effect of the Element Chapter.
An Ice Spear appeared in Lin Yun's hand. He fiercely gripped it, and all the power in his body burst out as he heavily threw the Ice Spear. The sound of the spear tearing through the air could be heard, and the Ice Spear arrived next to the Undead Boundary without any obstruction. The huge impact instantly shook the Undead Boundary …
At this time, Weiss and the other Archmages seemed to have seen through Lin Yun's intentions and started bursting with High Tier Spells to bombard the Undead Barrier.
"Boom!"
With an earth-shattering sound, the Undead Barrier that had withstood countless attacks finally shattered. Without the protection of the Undead Barrier, the Lich was exposed to everyone's attacks.
A white figure surrounded by a bone-chilling aura arrived in front of the Corpse Necromancer. He raised his massive fist and smashed it down heavily.
But …
The Lich was a Lich after all. It had the memories of a Peak Archmage, and its own strength was around level 37. It didn't panic in the slightest when facing everyone's attacks. Moreover, the Undead Barrier had bought it a lot of time. This deadlock made it realize that if it didn't kill the young mage, it would be very difficult to win.
A sinister laugh echoed, followed by a hoarse chant. The two phosphorus fires in the Lich's eye sockets were crazily throbbing, and the bone staff in its hand emitted a cold aura as it softly streaked through the air in a strange arc. In an instant, the black mist gathered at the tip of the bone staff.
The Lich had already raised the bone staff high in the air, and boundless death energy condensed at the tip of the bone staff. In a short few seconds, a black sphere of light appeared, emitting a terrifying aura.
"Not good …"
Even the experienced and knowledgeable Weiss couldn't help opening his mouth wide. He looked at the Lich in the distance, and even his voice became very weak.
He had already guessed the Lich's intentions. That black sphere of light contained extremely pure death energy. But that wasn't the Lich's power, it was the remnant death energy of this battlefield.
Thinking about it, the ten thousand Undeads had died here, so how much death energy would be left behind?
Now, the Lich was using the Bone Staff as a medium to gather the remaining Death Energy on the battlefield and condense it into a light ball made of boundless Death Energy.
Although this wasn't a spell, it was a lot more frightening than a spell.
If it exploded …
Weiss couldn't help shivering as he thought of this, cold sweat dripping down his back. The Lich actually wanted to use such an extreme method to kill the young mage.
The worst part was that the young mage was still in the Ice Elemental Incarnation state. Weiss clearly knew that although the Ice Elemental Incarnation had shocking defensive power, it also had a fatal flaw. His movement speed was too slow.
To be honest, slow movement speed was very bad under such circumstances. The explosion of the black sphere of light couldn't be dodged even if he wanted to!
Although the Ice Elemental Incarnation's defensive power was shocking, it was only shocking. Under that terrifying impact, let alone the Ice Elemental Incarnation, even a 6th Rank Sword Saint wouldn't be able to escape even if they used layers of Aura to protect themselves.
In Weiss' eyes, if the young mage had fought this battle steadily and not been so rash, he would have won sooner or later. After all, eleven people were besieging the Lich.
But that young mage was really too impulsive. After breaking the Lich's Undead Barrier, he impatiently rushed over.
At this time, the death energy contained within the black sphere of light kept increasing, and strange sizzling sounds kept echoing from it. Countless strands of black energy were slowly flowing within the sphere of light, emitting a sinister aura. The Lich raised his head and sneered. Although his face didn't have any flesh, it looked extremely sinister in everyone's eyes.
That sphere of light reached the size of a head in a short few seconds. The Lich gently waved the bone staff and aimed it at Lin Yun, who was in the Ice Elemental Incarnation state, before chanting a strange incantation.
"Roar …"
But at this time, a roar echoed behind the Lich, and an extremely terrifying aura spread to every corner of the battlefield. A wisp of black Sword Aura rose up.
A loud rumble echoed as the Lich's incantation was abruptly cut off. He didn't even have time to react before a huge power sent him flying.
"Rumble!"
At the same time, the light ball that had condensed a large amount of Death Energy seemed to have lost its balance and suddenly exploded. It was not an exaggeration to say that the explosion was earth-shattering. A wave of air lifted up countless white skeletons, and an endless amount of Death Energy crazily surged, instantly drowning the Lich.
Everyone promptly cast defensive spells as the aftermath of the explosion spread. That explosion could only be described as terrifying, it made everyone's scalp feel numb.
The Lich's two arms had been completely severed, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string before heavily smashing into the ground.
A fiery shadow rapidly rushed over, not giving the Lich any time to breathe. The Nightmare's front hoof fell under the Lich's alarmed gaze, and a muffled sound echoed.
"Ah! Damn, Lagulin, you actually betrayed His Highness Baiers, you, you … "The Lich lying on the ground was angrily glaring at the Death Knight.
The Death Knight had suddenly appeared and sent him flying, causing the black sphere of light to lose its balance and explode. Otherwise, the young mage would have already been blown to pieces.
But the Death Knight remained unmoved. He brandished the sword in his hand and fiercely stabbed at the Lich's head, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
"Lagulin, His Highness Baiers won't forgive you! Once His Highness Baiers awakens, you and those humans will forever sink into the boundless Hell … "
The bodies of High Undeads were truly hard, especially the Lich's skull. Even after taking an all-out attack from the Death Knight, only a small crack appeared. But the Death Knight didn't plan on stopping. After the 5th attack, the Lich's skull finally cracked and its Soul Fire extinguished.
Suddenly, a faint light rushed out of the Lich's skull. Lin Yun, who was in his Ice Elemental Incarnation state, didn't hesitate. A large Mana Hand stretched out before the Undead Essence could fly away and grabbed it. He then removed his Ice Elemental Incarnation and took out the Book of Death from his pocket before putting the Undead Essence inside.
A black light flashed and the Undead Essence instantly disappeared. A black pattern appeared on the Book of Death, emitting strange fluctuations.
Seeing the new pattern, Lin Yun almost laughed out loud. This was a Lich comparable to a level 37 Archmage, it was a bit stronger than the Undead Horseman.
What kind of concept was a Rank 37 Archmage?
That was a genuine High Rank Archmage. In the Black Tower, one of the two major mage forces of Okland, he would definitely be a Representative.
But, Lin Yun could casually order such a powerhouse to help him fight.
Take the Death Knight as an example.
At the critical moment, the Death Knight suddenly appeared in the form of a summoned lifeform and helped him greatly. It promptly interrupted the Lich's casting and reversed the situation.
To be honest, the ability of the Book of Death could only be described as heaven-defying.
The only problem was that summoning this kind of High Rank Undead consumed a terrifying amount of death energy.
No one paid attention to Lin Yun at this time. Their eyes were focused on that three-meter-tall silhouette, the tattered armor, the rusted longsword, as well as that two-meter-tall Nightmare emitting red flames.
Everyone was tense, they simply didn't dare to believe their eyes. 'Isn't that the Undead Horseman we met a few hours ago? Wasn't it killed?'
'Moreover, why did it go crazy and recklessly attack the Lich?'
The most inconceivable part was that after killing the Lich, it stood there motionlessly, as if it was waiting for orders.
At this time, countless questions appeared in everyone's minds.
This was like a dream …
