After being saved by Lin Yun, Zeuss felt very complicated and didn't know what to say.
Lin Yun shook his head. He didn't need to think to know that Zeuss must have met that monster and had his mana sucked dry.
He softly sighed, "Tell me what happened."
Zeuss explained what had happened with regret and bitterness.
"We were separated as soon as we landed on the Intrepid. I only found Rhett and Arthus, and soon after, I saw Falton. Falton provoked me with a few words and I lost my reason due to anger. I recklessly chased after Falton … "
Lin Yun more or less understood what had happened. When they met the Orachiss, Falton had caused Zeuss to suffer miserably. This time, they had been separated and no one mediated, yet Falton still dared to provoke him. It would be strange if Zeuss didn't explode in anger on the spot. The impact of his anger made Zeuss lose his reason and chase after Falton.
And just as Lin Yun expected, that Falton was a fake. He lured Zeuss and the others into a trap. Arthus' Aura was sucked dry by the monster and he died a miserable death. Zeuss' mana was also sucked dry and he almost died. As for Rhett, he was controlled by the monster.
Zeuss was in a semi-conscious state after being brought over by that fake Rhett, so he knew that Rhett was a fake.
"I harmed Rhett and the others …" Zeuss' face was filled with bitterness and regret.
Zeuss' face was filled with bitterness and regret. After losing his mana, he was now an old man with one foot in the grave. His arrogance as an Archmage had long since been routed.
Lin Yun sighed. He wasn't in the mood to settle old scores with Zeuss. That guy had a bad temper, and Lin Yun didn't find him pleasing to the eye. But now that he was on his last breath, it was even more miserable than killing him.
"Xiuban, take Sir Zeuss."
Lin Yun told Xiuban. Xiuban had an unwilling expression. The Draconic Beastman didn't care whether Zeuss had lost all his power or not, killing him with his hammer was the best choice.
But facing Lin Yun's order, Xiuban could only pinch his nose and endure as he roughly put Zeuss on his shoulder.
When Zeuss saw that Lin Yun still wanted to enter the passage, his face filled with fear and he hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Merlin, don't go in! Quickly escape! That monster is too frightening. Before I came out, I heard from that monster that it had already infiltrated more than half of the Intrepid and was very confident in controlling it. You'll just be throwing your life away if you continue!"
Lin Yun glanced at the frightened Zeuss and shook his head without saying anything. He absolutely couldn't give up on the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.
Lin Yun walked at the forefront and raised his Runic Shield while casting a Light spell on the tip of his Draconic Staff.
The tunnel was four to five meters high, but after walking for more than ten minutes, the environment was still the same. There was only darkness in front and behind, and from time to time, a cold wind would blow, making whimpering sounds.
The walls on both sides seemed to be absorbing all light, and the Light spell could only illuminate a range of less than ten meters. There was always darkness ahead.
The oppressive footsteps made everyone panic, and the deeper they went, the thicker the evil, resentment, and death aura became.
The mournful wails and roars that sounded like murmurs became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, a bloody silhouette appeared in front of them. It had lost its skin and was covered in dark red flesh. Its empty eyes were looking over and it even extended its hand to grab them.
Xiuban was so scared that he swung Carnage and that silhouette dissipated.
Lin Yun frowned and buffed everyone with Spirit Defense. This place was too strange.
After buffing them with Spirit Defense, those whimpering sounds became a bit quieter, but after a while, ghostly illusions started appearing once again.
At this time, Spirit Defense wasn't very effective as a large number of terrifying illusions appeared in everyone's surroundings.
There were even many already dead people appearing.
Warriors missing half of their heads, mages with distorted faces, female corpses crawling on the ground while dragging their intestines …
More and more illusions appeared, and everyone felt as if they were walking through a terrifying corridor. This path seemed to have become a passage to Hell.
Xiuban was pale and his teeth were chattering. He clearly knew that this was fake, but when he saw a terrifying female corpse with a bloody face in front of him, he couldn't help swinging Carnage.
All kinds of terrifying things were crammed into the passage. They clearly knew that it was fake, but they still had to rush through it, which made them tremble.
It didn't take long before those mournful wails kept attacking everyone's minds like Mind Magic.
Zeuss, who had lost all his power, had already fallen into an illusion. Even Spirit Defense couldn't work, and he could only be knocked unconscious by Xiuban to calm him down.
Lin Yun's expression was very unsightly. Ten Spirit Defenses couldn't resist the illusions attacking his mind. He clearly knew that the things in front of him were fake, but because of the impact of those sounds, his body thought that these illusions were real.
After over an hour, they finally saw something different in front of them.
It was a monotonous passage with nothing distinguishable, making them feel as if they had fallen into a never-ending maze. And with those illusions surging over like a tide, those with weaker minds would be tortured to the point of collapse.
After walking out of the passage, they saw a huge hall. The surrounding walls were all black, and there was only a black vortex covering the entire hall.
Wisps of spatial fluctuations that resembled a gentle breeze slowly flowed in this place, causing a large number of things that resembled spatial fragments to revolve together.
Lin Yun stood at the entrance of the passage and could occasionally see his own silhouette through those spatial distortions. This was the manifestation of space being distorted to the extreme.
The chaotic spatial structure was like a complicated maze that couldn't be sorted out. With one glance, Lin Yun felt a headache.
Strands of black smoke revolved within the vortex, and from time to time, those black smoke condensed into sinister skulls that strangely laughed at Lin Yun's group before turning back into black smoke and being drawn into the vortex.
All kinds of terrifying things were condensed and churned within the vortex. Pairs of empty and malevolent eyes looked over, making everyone's hair stand on end.
Standing at the entrance of the passage, they looked at the black vortex that almost filled the entire hall, and then at the entrance on the other side of the vortex. It was clear that they could only go through this black vortex if they wanted to go through it.
Apart from those illusions and malevolence, this black vortex had no other means of attack, but Lin Yun was still very uneasy.
He couldn't help recalling the vortex mentioned in the First Mate's diary, as well as the imprint of certain death on the nautical chart.
"Everyone be careful, firm your wills and keep moving forward. Remember, everything you see is an illusion!"
Lin Yun buffed everyone with a bunch of Spirit Defenses before taking the lead and entering the black vortex. Although this black vortex was strange, Lin Yun only discovered the power of illusions. Even that chaotic space was a constantly changing maze. If they spent some time, they would be able to go through it.
After entering the black vortex, everything in the surroundings seemed to be swallowed by darkness. There was no sound, no light, and no one knew where they went.
Lin Yun blinked, and his consciousness unknowingly became fuzzy. A wave of drowsiness assaulted him, and Lin Yun subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but it was already too late. His power that could resist an Archmage was powerless in front of this drowsiness.
'Law Power …'
This was the last thought that appeared in Lin Yun 'mind before he fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Yun didn't know how long he slept.
Maybe one year, maybe ten years, maybe a hundred years …
In short, when Lin Yun opened his eyes once again, he was greeted by a dusky sky.
The sky was covered in sinister cracks, and there were even Void Storms continuously tearing the sky apart, creating more cracks in the already broken sky.
The blood-red sun released a sinister light, causing the moisture in the air to continuously evaporate. The extremely high temperature caused the air to distort. When looking at the scene in the distance, it felt as if one was looking at it through a flame. Everything was constantly swaying and distorting …
'This is Heiss City?' Lin Yun rubbed his eyes as he looked at this familiar scene. But for some reason, Lin Yun felt that he had forgotten something.
Unfortunately, before Lin Yun could remember what he had forgotten, the dusky sky suddenly ignited. Boundless darkness shrouded everything, and blood and flames sprinkled the earth. The Void Storms crazily tore through the sky, creating long cracks in the sky.
Huge meteors fell from the sky, dragging long flaming tails behind them. In the distance, there was even a meteor with a diameter of over a thousand meters falling. Everywhere it passed, the space was like a fragile mirror, instantly shattered by the impact. The chaotic energy impact seemed to have caused a large area of space to dissipate.
"Boom …"
The earth started shaking, and the yellow sand outside Heiss City flew over a kilometer into the air. Gales whistled, and nothing could be seen outside Heiss City.
Lin Yun raised his head and looked at the meteor falling towards Heiss City.
"It's going to be destroyed again … Hmm? Why did I say 'again'? "
Lin Yun looked at that huge meteor falling down. Unexpectedly, it didn't fall in Heiss City, but rather a few kilometers away from Heiss City. The huge shockwave spread over, and all the cries, screams, and prayers were instantly drowned out.
The earth outside Heiss City thoroughly shattered.
That piece of land flew up, and from Heiss City, Lin Yun could see that the entirety of Noscent looked like a cookie that had been smashed by a naughty child into countless pieces of various sizes.
