When the skeleton devoured Solan, the power of the Bloodline Curse contained in Solan's soul had already become impure. And Baiers, who was possessing the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation, used the Bloodline Curse as a medium to transfer his soul into the skeleton's body. Thus, the skeleton's body started regrowing flesh and blood.
And at the crucial moment of the fusion of his soul and body, just as he was about to reach the Heaven Rank, Lin Yun's tricks in Solan's body came in handy and directly caused the fusion to fail. The skeleton suffered a backlash and its strength sharply fell from infinitely close to the Heaven Rank to below level 38.
This was also the true reason why Lin Yun didn't kill Solan! After all, on the 11th floor of the magic tower, Solan used a Dragon Breath to kill him. With his personality, he absolutely wouldn't tolerate such a threat. At that time, he wanted to kill Solan.
But during the fight, he inadvertently discovered Solan's abnormality and felt that Solan's body was hiding a huge secret. Thus, he kept Solan alive until Sir Shawn awakened.
Solan, who had been patiently enduring all this time, probably didn't even realize that he had been living as a sacrifice before his death.
And he didn't disappoint Lin Yun. After the skeleton appeared, he impatiently rushed over.
Dazzling spells flew out of his hands and the flood of spells kept washing over the skeleton. Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. He hadn't expected the skeleton to still be so powerful after suffering a backlash. Moreover, half of its body was trapped underground, yet it was still displaying power far greater than that of the Lich from before.
After all, the eleven of them hadn't expected it to be so strenuous when they besieged the Lich.
Fortunately, the skeleton couldn't move freely. If the other half of its body came out, even if it was only at the peak of level 37, it would be enough to make them suffer.
"Snap …"
The battle quickly went on for more than half an hour. Everyone, including Lin Yun, had consumed a lot of mana. After all, they had been continuously casting and bombarding the skeleton for over half an hour. This wasn't something an ordinary person could persevere for. As the ferocious attacks rained down one after another, a subtle sound finally rang out …
A small crack could be seen on the skeleton's smooth skull. Seeing this scene, everyone was encouraged and put even more effort into casting spells to bombard the skull.
The skeleton with half of its body imprisoned was like an immobile target, enduring all kinds of spell attacks, but the hardness of its bones was simply terrifying. After enduring the attacks for more than half an hour, it finally suffered substantial damage and a small crack appeared on its bones.
"It might not be able to hold on for much longer …" A voice echoed in the air. It came from Weiss' Wind Elemental Incarnation state. His voice was filled with joy, but his hands didn't stop attacking. Wind spells surged out like a tide.
His angle of attack was very crafty. Although his spells weren't high ranked, they were all Wind Blades, Wind Bursts, and so on. But the place he was attacking was the crack on the skull, and every spell that fell on it would send a piece of broken bone flying.
As time passed, the originally small crack had already enlarged countless times, reaching several meters in length. It was a ghastly sight.
At this time, the young mage's silhouette appeared in Weiss' line of sight. He was startled when he saw that the young mage was less than five meters away from the skull, but he quickly calmed down. He had seen the young mage's methods, especially in the previous few battles. He had realized that although the young mage was a bit too young, whether it was in terms of strength or experience, he surpassed him.
Flame Bursts with long trails of flames fell on the skull's crack, causing a loud rumble and sending countless broken bones flying, making the skeleton fiercely roar. Especially those two phosphorescent flames, they were frantically surging. Weiss was somewhat alarmed when he saw this scene.
He clearly knew that this was the sign of the skeleton's white flames. He couldn't help worrying for the young mage. He was less than five meters away from the skeleton. If he was submerged in the flood of white flames, even if he had the power of a 7th Rank Archmage, he wouldn't be able to resist and would instantly turn into an ice sculpture.
He had experienced the power of the white flames, they were frightening existences that could even destroy Elemental Shields.
They clearly had the upper hand, and as long as they had enough time, erasing the skeleton's Soul Fire wouldn't be a big problem. Yet the young mage recklessly rushed forward, he was too eager for quick success.
'No good, I have to warn him!'
After all, the young mage was the core of this team and had played a huge role. If they lost him, it would be hard to say if they could continue suppressing the skeleton.
Just as Whis, who was hiding in the sky, was about to say something, he suddenly saw a book emitting dense death energy in the young mage's hand. It gave him the feeling that it contained boundless death energy. Two clouds of black smoke rushed out of the book, and then Whis sensed two familiar auras.
Then, his eyes widened and he was completely dumbfounded. He even forgot about his warning to Lin Yun.
"That, that … That's an Undead Horseman, that's a Lich, how could this be!?" Weiss didn't dare to believe his eyes. His gaze was firmly locked onto the two Undeads behind Lin Yun. He could clearly feel that the power of those two High Undeads wasn't inferior to his when he was at his peak. Even at his peak, he would have to flee when facing that Lich.
'Could it be that they are Mafa Merlin's … Summoned Lifeforms?'
Although Weiss didn't dare to believe this, the facts were right in front of him. The young mage had clearly taken out that mysterious book and the two Undeads had appeared. This was too outrageous.
Weiss suddenly felt that the young mage in front of him was a bit unfamiliar.
Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun 'methods were truly frightening. Just by relying on those two Undeads, he would be able to walk through the Andalusia Kingdom.
"Baiers, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to resurrect in this lifetime …"
After summoning the Undead Horseman and the Lich, Lin Yun chanted a profound character and instantly entered an unlimited state. The Doom Staff in his hand burst with a dazzling radiance as a spark rose up and expanded. A blazing aura spread out, followed by a 5th Tier Spell, Fire Dragon. It carried a surging heatwave as it collided with the crack in the skull. A loud rumble echoed as sparks flew everywhere, along with many broken bones.
In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, one fire spell after another fell on the skull.
For a time, intense explosions rang out incessantly.
"Roar …"
The skeleton was thoroughly infuriated and let out a painful roar. It looked at the young mage less than five meters away from it and its huge body suddenly moved. Its skull was already in front of Lin Yun, and one of its flickering Phosphorus Fires was about to touch Lin Yun 'body.
That skeleton's entire body had formidable offensive power, especially those two Phosphorus Fires emitting a cold aura. Even Solan, a 5th Rank Archmage, could be thoroughly devoured!
But …
A long incantation sounded. The Lich, who was wearing a black robe and holding a bone staff in his hand, had already completed the incantation. Dozens of bone spears with black gas condensed on both sides of his body. As the Lich roared, he rushed out. The speed of those bone spears was even faster than lightning.
The Bone Spears' targets were the two Phosphorus Fires in the skeleton's eye sockets.
The skeleton let out a deafening roar of pain almost as soon as the bone spear shot out. It was caught off guard, and the phosphorus flames in its eye sockets were struck by the bone spear. The two phosphorus flames instantly split into pieces, and sparks splashed in all directions. A large part of it even rolled out of its eye sockets, and was completely extinguished, turning into a pitch-black substance like charcoal.
The Undead Knight raised his longsword, and the Shapeshifter spewed out a thick sulfuric aura. It suddenly accelerated, and with a loud 'bang', it firmly collided with the skull of the skeleton. A 'crack' sound was heard, and the originally ghastly cracks rapidly spread under the fierce impact ….
The skeleton's raised arm froze in mid-air. Then, it smashed heavily onto the ground, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust. The two phosphorescent flames also completely dimmed in silence. At the same time, half of the skull cracked, and broken bones fell continuously. In just a few seconds, only half of the skull was left of the skeleton.
'Dead …'
Everyone, including Lin Yun, sighed in relief. This had been a long and fierce battle, and everyone had consumed a large amount of mana.
A soft sound echoed as the golden crown on the skeleton's head fell down and rapidly shrank in midair. By the time it fell to the ground, it had already returned to its normal size.
Lin Yun bent down to pick up the crown and wiped the sweat off his forehead, a smile finally appearing on his face.
"Roar!"
But at this time, a hysterical roar echoed in his ears. He immediately turned pale and frowned. It wasn't just him, everyone was the same.
That roar came from the ground under their feet.
"Desolate Overlord … Oh, no … I should call him Baiers, it's his voice!" Cold sweat trickled down Delson's back, as if he had encountered the most terrifying thing in the world. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, drenching his mage robe and sticking to his back. He was pale as he said in a trembling voice, "H-How … How could he enter the magic tower!"
Everyone could clearly sense that the roar didn't come from the undead space, but rather from the bottom of the magic tower!
"This, this …" Dean was sweating profusely. He was so anxious that he couldn't say anything. He was truly scared. They killed a powerful skeleton and managed to seize the crown with great difficulty to open the passage to the next floor, but Baiers, who possessed the power of the Desolate Overlord's Incarnation, actually appeared on the next floor.
They had personally witnessed the power of that Incarnation. Even a frightening level 38 magic beast could be killed with a wave of his hand, let alone them …
