Sure enough, the one coming out of the Death Gate was a Death Knight covered in black armor. Moreover, its appearance was very strange. It was holding a pitch-black greatsword in its right hand, and black mist was slowly curling around its blade. In its left hand was a rusty iron hook that looked as if it had been submerged in seawater for a few hundred years.
The Death Knight didn't leave after coming out of the Death Gate and attacked Lin Yun.
But just standing there made Lin Yun feel a huge pressure. That was the kind of pressure that could only come from a peak powerhouse. Lin Yun inwardly estimated that this Death Knight was at least level 38.
"Human, you actually disturbed our slumber …" A deafening roar echoed, and the entire hold seemed to shake from the Death Knight's anger.
"In fact, I didn't want to disturb you …"
"You have to pay the price!" After saying that, the Death Knight raised its greatsword.
Lin Yun's reaction wasn't slow. He raised his Draconic Staff and cast a Spirit Defense before chanting a series of incantations. The ground under his feet turned dark red, and the wooden planks of the empty hold started shaking. Then, a dark red swamp spread out under the Death Knight's feet.
That was Scarlet Swamp, one of the spells with the strongest control power among 6th Tier Spells!
But the Death Knight was a lot more powerful than he had imagined. Before Lin Yun's Scarlet Swamp could completely take shape, the greatsword in its hand had already reached Lin Yun. That was a rich aura of death, and the black edge of the sword carried a rich death energy.
In that split second, Lin Yun only had time to cast an Elemental Shield. Then, a loud sound echoed as Lin Yun's shoulder was hit by the greatsword. It felt as if he had been hit by a boulder, and his bones felt like they were going to crack. Lin Yun retreated a few steps, his face deathly pale.
'Sure enough, it is a dual cultivator …' Lin Yun's expression was somewhat unsightly.
An Undead with the power of an 8th Rank Sword Saint and an 8th Rank Archmage wasn't a joke.
The Death Knight swung its greatsword once again, and the raging Death Aura curling around it forced Lin Yun to continuously retreat. His Runic Shield simply couldn't resist such an attack, so all Lin Yun could do was keep retreating until he reached a safe distance.
But while retreating, Lin Yun's hands weren't idle either. He had already prepared an Undead Purification spell …
In a flash, a dazzling light shone. The bright light of Undead Purification illuminated the entire hold. The effect of this 4th Tier Spell was simple and direct, it was to thoroughly purify the death energy of Undeads. It could be said to be the natural enemy of Undeads.
But this time, the natural enemy didn't seem to be useful.
Lin Yun's Undead Purification directly tore open a wound on the Death Knight's chest, but then, a large amount of black mist suddenly rushed out of that wound. Before Lin Yun could understand what was going on, that black mist had already healed the wound at an extremely fast speed. That speed completely surpassed Lin Yun's imagination.
'Fuck, it's the Undead Eye …' Lin Yun immediately cursed. That black mist had clearly come from the power of the Undead Eye.
'It looks like the legends are true …'
Once Undeads were shrouded by the Undead Eye, their fighting strength would increase exponentially. Some powerful Undeads could even use the Undead Eye to obtain the power of an undying body.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun couldn't help frowning.
'This is troublesome. If I don't deal with this Death Knight, I won't be able to deal with the Undead Eye. But if I don't destroy the Undead Eye, it will be very difficult to get rid of the Death Knight.'
A level 38 Death Knight was already troublesome enough, especially since this terrifying Death Knight had yet to use any spells and was only using Death Aura to fight! That power was equivalent to that of an 8th Rank Archmage, and it had yet to be displayed, but it was already giving Lin Yun a huge amount of pressure.
Lin Yun, who was using Fire Elemental Incarnation, kept using Flame Flash to dodge the Death Knight's Aura Slashes while using a large number of Low Tier Fire Spells to suppress it. But these Low Tier Fire Spells' damage to the Death Knight was negligible.
"Damned Human, the price of disturbing our slumber can only be washed away with your blood! Your soul is destined to sink for all eternity! "
"Damned mouse, you'd better pray that you can keep jumping like this forever!"
The Death Knight kept sending wave after wave of attacks, but Lin Yun kept using Flame Flash. His jet-black Death Aura Slashes simply couldn't touch Lin Yun.
And Lin Yun's endless Low Tier Fire Spells fell like a torrential rain. Flame Bursts, Fire Arrows, Fireballs, Fire Rain …
Although these Low Tier Fire Spells were negligible with the support of the Undead Eye, they still made him more and more irritable.
But the Death Knight didn't notice that the originally dense Death Aura was slowly being suppressed. The fire elements were increasing in number and becoming more and more active.
"Almost there!"
Lin Yun sensed the extremely active fire elements in this place and softly muttered, "I'll be fine.
The Death Knight saw Lin Yun's Flame Flash to the other side and, as if he was used to it, swung a Death Aura Slash and waited for Lin Yun to flash to another place.
But Lin Yun didn't keep using Flame Flash as the Death Knight had expected. Instead, he suddenly used a Runic Shield.
The Runic Shield's power displayed terrifying might in Lin Yun's hands. The number of runes that could even make an Archmage despair gave the Runic Shield far more defensive power than it should have.
Even if the Death Knight's Death Aura Slash was equivalent to the all-out attack of an 8th Rank Sword Saint, it was still easily blocked by the Runic Shield.
The Death Knight couldn't react in time. He had only casually swung his Death Aura Slash in hopes of restraining Lin Yun for a split second and preventing Lin Yun from continuing with his Flame Flash.
But he hadn't expected Lin Yun to suddenly stop. But in that pause, Lin Yun had already been chanting for two seconds!
In this kind of battle, two seconds was a fatal amount of time!
The Death Knight was thoroughly enraged. It was clearly because he had been tricked by Lin Yun. He unhesitantly swung his one-handed sword once again, but the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel had already appeared at some point and a large number of Low Tier fire spells transformed into a flood of spells, temporarily suppressing the Death Knight.
Although the power of the Undead Eye increased the Death Knight's resistance to fire spells to an unimaginable degree, it still prevented him from rushing over for the time being.
Countless Low Tier fire spells appeared, making the surrounding fire elements almost as active as the inside of a volcano. At that time, the difficulty of casting fire spells would drop by a level, and the casting time would also be greatly reduced.
After six seconds, Lin Yun finally finished his incantation and finished casting. He pointed his Draconic Staff at the Death Knight, who was temporarily suppressed by the flood of fire spells.
"Hellfire!"
In the blink of an eye, golden-red runes appeared on the ground. Those runes seemed to be alive as they revolved and covered a radius of ten meters in the blink of an eye. The complex runes that were so gorgeous that even the pureblood elves couldn't help but gasp in admiration had become the most terrifying thing at this moment.
Just as the runes appeared, an oppressive and fiery aura filled the air. That aura made the Death Knight endlessly palpitate, and it unhesitantly gave up on charging forward, wanting to retreat instead.
But it was already too late. Just as the Hellfire was released, Lin Yun increased his mana output and used a Flame Flash to appear behind the Death Knight, casting another 6th Tier Spell, Bursting Flames!
Although the Bursting Flames didn't sound too different from the Flame Burst, the difference in power was like heaven and earth. Moreover, the Flame Burst focused on the power of flames and could even be used as a group attack spell, while the Bursting Flames focused on impact and explosion. Its range was small, and its mana consumption was a lot higher, but it was ten times more powerful than the Ultimate Flame Burst.
The Bursting Flames with a trail of blue flames exploded from the Death Knight's back. The Death Knight roared and swung his sword to block the Bursting Flames, but he didn't notice that Lin Yun was only a dozen meters away from him. At that distance, the Bursting Flames would definitely cause a double explosion!
The first explosion was blocked by the Death Knight, but the second explosion exploded on the Death Knight's chest. The destructive power of the Bursting Flames was comparable to that of a 7th Tier Fire Spell! And this terrifying explosion was even more powerful. Although it only slightly damaged the Death Knight's armor, the power was enough to force the Death Knight to retreat.
Even if it was only for a second, it would be enough!
Because when the Death Knight retreated to the ten-meter-big runic circle, boundless golden-red flames spurted out of it. The golden-red flames transformed into a pillar of fire that wrapped around the Death Knight. The pillar of fire reached the roof of the huge ship, and even if this ship was built from the remains of a God, the roof of the ship was burnt red.
A mournful and angry scream echoed from the huge pillar of fire, and Lin Yun sighed in relief.
Hellfire could last for six seconds. During this time, the Death Knight wouldn't be able to pose a threat even if he didn't die.
Hellfire was known as the most powerful and useless fire spell.
Although it was a 7th Tier Spell, it only required enough mana to cast it. Even a 1st Rank High Mage could use this spell as long as they had enough mana.
But the reason Hellfire was considered the most powerful and useless fire spell wasn't because of this. This spell's power was comparable to a peak 7th Tier Spell, but it had some special requirements.
