Plate armor, spear …
"A Gaugass Battlemage!" Lin Yun was startled. He subconsciously raised his Spiritual Magic Staff and the flames of a Flame Burst instantly flickered.
But Lin Yun immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because Lin Yun discovered that the figure wearing plate armor and holding the spear was unexpectedly motionless. Indeed, the legendary Gaugass Battlemage didn't even move in front of Lin Yun's Flame Burst. What was going on?
Could it be that it was another skeleton?
Lin Yun was somewhat doubtful and interrupted the Flame Burst, but he didn't dare to be careless. He tightly grasped the Sage Chapter. As long as he made a mistake, the Fire Arrow within the Sage Chapter would be activated. That was a genuine Ultimate Spell, and its power far surpassed that of a Flame Burst.
Lin Yun couldn't be blamed for being too careful.
These Gaugass Battlemages could be said to be different from the rest of the magic civilization. They never learned any magic knowledge, nor did they conduct any magic research. They didn't even have their own written language. They were a group of true barbarians, and even their social system was that of a tribal society.
But it was precisely this group of barbarians that had unique magic talent. Almost every Gaugass Battlemage was born with the mana of a Mage, and after reaching adulthood, they could even reach the Great Mage realm. After all, they didn't need to meditate or cultivate. This was completely innate mana. Just this point alone could make ordinary mages go crazy with jealousy.
The most frightening part was that Gaugass Battlemages had innately tyrannical physical strength. They were good at using all kinds of heavy weapons and heavy armors. When they appeared on the battlefield, they were like armored magic beasts, and that magic beast could also use all kinds of spells!
Facing an abnormal existence like the Gaugass Battlemage, Lin Yun felt that no matter how careful he was, it wouldn't be too excessive.
Lin Yun remained vigilant while casting all kinds of detection spells.
There were no mana fluctuations, no life fluctuations …
"Phew …" Lin Yun sighed in relief. Regardless of whether the one standing in front of him was a Gaugass Battlemage or not, there was no danger.
Only now did Lin Yun let go of the Sage Chapter and moved to the side.
At this time, Bone Devil's footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The low growls sounded as if they were ringing in Lin Yun's ears. What was worse was that Lin Yun only realized that there was no road ahead when he stood in the open space at the fork …
Yes, they had reached the end of the fork.
The only thing Lin Yun could do now was wait.
Either he waited for the Bone Devil to give up on chasing him, or he waited for the Bone Devil to discover him …
Time slowly passed, and the shaking of the cave became more and more intense. Large chunks of earth fell from above, making Lin Yun's entire body covered in dirt. But Lin Yun couldn't care less about that. After confirming that there was no way out, Lin Yun cast a Mage Eye. Without the interference of the Spiritual Magic Staff, the Mage Eye smoothly followed the slope.
Lin Yun saw the Bone Devil just as the Mage Eye reached the middle of the slope. Compared to the hasty glance he had gotten the last time he came to the Bone Plane, Lin Yun could see it a lot more clearly this time.
Its several-meter-tall body was completely made of white bones, and the bone spurs seemed to flicker with a faint radiance in the darkness. Several dozen Phosphorescent Fires were revolving around its body, each emitting a berserk mana fluctuation. The Soul Fire in its skull was the size of a fist, emitting a huge aura of death. Even Lin Yun, who was on the other side of the fork, felt suffocated.
Two Phosphorescent Fires were crazily throbbing in its empty eye sockets, searching the gloomy cave, as if trying to find the source of the aura.
'It's like a ghost that won't go away …' Lin Yun knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this time. The Bone Devil definitely wouldn't give up until it found him.
After giving up on his last sliver of hope, Lin Yun thoroughly calmed down.
His gaze passed through the long fork as he quickly calculated in his mind. If he were to fight the Bone Demon here, how confident would he be?
To be honest, he really didn't have much confidence …
Although the terrain of the fork was advantageous to him, it was only good for a sneak attack.
Two Fire Arrows that had been upgraded to Ultimate Spells, as well as the continuous damage from a Flame Barrier, might be the only opportunity he could seize. After that, he would be completely exposed to the Bone Devil's attacks. The bombardment of several dozen Dark Fire Bullets would make it extremely difficult for him to even chant an incantation. At that time, he might truly have to stay in the Bone Plane forever.
It would be great if the Gaugass Battlemage next to him was still alive. With his tyrannical physical strength, stalling the Bone Devil wouldn't be an issue, and he would be able to keep casting. Maybe if the two of them worked together, they might really have the opportunity to get rid of the Bone Devil.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun suddenly sniffed, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.
'Strange, how come that Gaugass Battlemage doesn't have a rotten smell?
'Could it be that these darlings of the wasteland have a different body structure from ordinary humans? Why haven't they rotted after being dead for so many years? That doesn't make sense … This is the Bone Plane where death energy is everywhere. Anything would rot ten times faster here. Let alone the Gaugass Battlemage, even a Dragon that had been left here for over three hundred years would have already become a second Bone Dragon.
As he thought about it, Lin Yun's eyes suddenly shone.
At this time, Lin Yun finally understood why the Spiritual Magic Staff in his hand was strengthening his mana in such a stubborn way, why this fork didn't look like it had been carved by a human, and why that Gaugass Battlemage hadn't rotted after being dead for so many years.
One question after another was suddenly answered at this moment.
It was all because the Gaugass Battlemage next to him wasn't a living person!
As Lin Yun thought of this, he fiercely lifted the Gaugass Battlemage's plate armor.
'Sure enough …' Lin Yun subconsciously took a step back. What entered his eyes was a skeleton made of Gold Essence. A large number of arrays were carved on the skeleton, and every one of them was at least at the Master Alchemist level. If such a skeleton suddenly appeared in the outside world, it would immediately cause a huge commotion. This was a huge fortune that would make any alchemist go crazy.
But Lin Yun didn't have time to care about this. He only looked at the arrays and quickly found the location of the puppet's mana source.
Just as Lin Yun expected, the mana source was empty.
