End of the Magic Era

Emir patted Lin Yun, and woke him up from contemplation.

Lin Yun hurriedly pulled Emir back. This gnome ghoul was not exactly smart, but he had known the guy for a long time, and didn’t want to see him get killed.

“Emir, listen to me. You’d better not go there. If you must go, just stay in the rear. Leave this place as soon as you can. The war will be very ugly. Never mind. You don’t understand what I mean anyway. Let me put it this way. If you don’t leave right now, you won’t ever be able to release flames or burn those goddamn crows.

“Don’t go to the front line, got it? And don’t meet the Hunger Horseman…”

After saying that, Lin Yun left quickly, not caring if Emir understood. The guy would do anything he asked as soon as he mentioned crows anyway.

Lin Yun left Emir’s territory, and pretended to be one of the most common skeletons, moving towards Dirty Blood.

At this moment, Dirty Blood had almost been entirely occupied by Noscent’s troops. The battlefield was at the edge of Dirty Blood, which was full of undead creatures. Lin Yun was not eye-catching at all when he blended among them.

But after moving for a while, Lin Yun realized something was wrong as the undead creatures that had been charging at Noscent’s troops started to retreat like an ebbing tide.

Lin Yun would be noticed easily if he moved in the opposite direction. He had to retreat with other undead creatures.

But all of a sudden, Lin Yun’s soul shivered. He had a sense of foreboding. The moment he sensed it, he disappeared. The earth below his feet exploded, and all the skeletons within the radius of 100 meters were easily torn apart. Lin Yun’s skeleton, on the other hand, dashed towards Dirty Blood like a vague shadow.

I’ve been spotted…

The idea flashed in Lin Yun’s head. He didn’t have time to consider how he was discovered. He only knew that if he stayed on the undead creatures’ side, and all the four horsemen arrived, nobody could save him…

After Lin Yun dashed forward, he saw that a zombie more than three meters tall landed where he was standing. The zombie was shrouded in a green smoke that looked like grease in the air. He could smell its stench even though he had transformed into an undead creature, as if the stench could directly reach his soul.

After the zombie appeared where Lin Yun had been standing, the earth let out a painful moan, as if it couldn’t endure the weight anymore. A huge pit hundreds of meters in diameter opened as the earth collapsed. The terrifying blast destroyed everything within eight kilometers.

All the undead creatures that were hit by the blast were ripped apart. Skeletons were reduced to bones, and their bones further fell apart in the blast until they completely turned into ashes…

The tall zombie floated above the pit, and watched Lin Yun running away with a hideous smile on his face, as if he had seen an interesting toy.

The Plague Horseman…

He had merely landed from the sky, and didn’t launch any attack. Yet, he had already shown the power of a level-9 individual spell. If Lin Yun had been stepped on, he would’ve been killed!

“Stupid human being, return my scepter and my heart to me, and I will give you a merciful death…”

The Plague Horseman’s low voice echoed in Lin Yun’s soul. Instantly, Lin Yun felt like his soul had been corrupted by a green smoke, and it was turning dizzy.

He could not resist the dizziness even though he was the skeleton king. He summoned the power of the Truth Chapter from the Book of Death, and the crystal phoenix shrieked and flew out of the Book of Death, spraying a stream of colorful light. The light penetrated Lin Yun’s body, and cleansed his soul like a spring. All the green smoke that contaminated his soul was removed by the colorful light.

Dark green smoke erupted from Lin Yun’s mouth, only to be completely swallowed by the crystal phoenix. After swallowing the power of plague, the crystal phoenix was about to fly towards the Plague Horseman…

“Damn it, don’t go there. Just run off…”

Lin Yun was more than infuriated at the crystal phoenix’s stupidity. It had swallowed the Heart of Plague not long ago, and it wanted to swallow the Plague Horseman again. It would be ripped apart by the Plague Horseman in 10 seconds if it approached.

Summoning the crystal phoenix, Lin Yun rode it and flew forward, but then he realized that the Plague Horseman was gone again. The air where he disappeared seemed to be twisted, and the twisted air approached him quickly.

He instantly unfolded the Fusion Shield. A silver space law rune popped up. He also added a shield of light…

The silver space rune was activated the moment it popped up. The Plague Horseman appeared right behind him, and his fist was only five meters away from his head.

As the silver space law rune was broken, the distance between the Plague Horseman and Lin Yun was lengthened. The space was instantly stretched out.

Even so, the Plague Horseman was still approaching. The space here was like compressed folds. The stretched space was being compressed again by the Plague Horseman’s power.

Lin Yun was sweating. This space spell was undoubtedly the best one he was capable of. He had created it with the inspiration he acquired from the infinite space on Agalon’s hill.

When the spell was cast, it would stretch the distance to the maximum. The distance of five meters might actually be dozens of kilometers…

Even if the Plague Horseman was powerful enough to twist the space, there were at least a dozen kilometers between them. However, he was still approaching at an astonishing speed. The stretched space only blocked the Plague Horseman for one moment and bought some time.

In only one second, the Plague Horseman’s fist had smashed the light shield’s surface, causing sizzling noises that came to an abrupt end. The shield that was filled with the power of light dimmed quickly. The entire shield had been corrupted…

The shield that was made of highly compressed power of light broke easily like a poked bubble.

After breaking the shield of light, the power on the Plague Horseman’s fist burst out again, and smashed Lin Yun’s Fusion Shield brutally.

Instantly, the power of all the laws that Lin Yun had grasped surfaced on the Fusion Shield. His mana spread out like a broken dam.

The spherical Fusion Shield was deformed by the Plague Horseman’s punch. Countless law runes were flashing, and a terrifying power burst out.

All of Lin Yun’s mana was gone…

But his Fusion Shield was not shattered. It was knocked away along with Lin Yun, who was inside the Fusion Shield. He left a trail of white air waves more than 30 kilometers long behind him. There were lightning bolts flashing in the air waves.

He had been instantly knocked more than 30 kilometers away, and he didn’t stop even though he had flown over such a long distance. The remaining force was still pushing him onward.

Lin Yun wasn’t able to regain balance until he flew more than 50 kilometers.

Hardly had he regained balance when he vomited blood. His bones that had been shattered by the terrifying force were gradually restored by mana…

In the sky, Lin Yun was pale and shocked. If anyone had told him that he could be killed by one punch with his Fusion Shield activated, he would never have believed…

But that was exactly what almost happened. The Plague Horseman’s punch didn’t break his Fusion Shield, but its power caused a tearing force which almost ripped him apart. Eight of his bones were broken in the outburst. Even his spine was almost broken…

What shocked Lin Yun the most was not the damage, but the fact that the Plague Horseman didn’t just use his physical strength. Unlike Xiuban, who purely counted on his physical force, he used a combat technique that was similar to a swordsman’s. His one punch contained three outbursts.

The first outburst was neutralized by the protection of the space spell, and the second was neutralized by the shield of light. Only the last outburst hit his Fusion Shield, and it almost exploded.

Lin Yun believed that if the three outbursts had been combined, he would’ve been killed. The Plague Horseman’s punch would’ve surely blown up both his Fusion Shield and himself.

That was just one punch!

Was he really the weakest of the four horsemen?

Lin Yun vomited blood again. His eyes glittered. He truly thought that the world was different from what he knew…

The Plague Horseman, who was capable of using combat techniques, ranked last among the four horsemen.

That was truly unbelievable…

After regaining balance, Lin Yun saw that the Plague Horseman was continuing to march towards him at a high speed, but Lin Yun was no longer worried.

Holy light covering a radius of dozens of kilometers drizzled from the sky and enveloped Lin Yun, who felt that his wounds were healing quickly. As for the Plague Horseman, he seemed to have been caught in a swamp, and was tied up by the gentle holy light.

“May the holy light be with you.”

A solemn chanting echoed across the sky. Then, the gentle light covering a radius of dozens of kilometers was tied up as a dazzling pillar of light that hit the Plague Horseman.

The Plague Horseman was knocked away. When he reappeared in midair, white smoke was popping up from his entire body as if he had been set ablaze. A few seconds later, the smoke was gone, and the Plague Horseman seemed to have been skinned, with his bloody flesh exposed to the air. However, the wounds completely recovered in only a few seconds. The holy light had been corrupted and expelled.

Prome solemnly descended from the sky, with gentle holy light emitting from his body. The scepter in his hand emanated the power of holy light like the sun. Lin Yun’s wounds were healing quickly under the illumination.

The Plague Horseman gazed at Prome with a hideous smile.

“Disgusting flying monkey, your opponent isn’t me…”

The Plague Horseman sneered, and the sky was suddenly filled with stars whose light gathered into an enormous hand. On the undead creatures’ side, a skull that was a kilometer tall roared, and charged at the starlight hand.

The starlight hand slapped the gargantuan and hideous skull away, and then it was gone too.

In the sky, Agalon, Alonzo, the Lionheart Prince, and the forest elves’ king appeared at the same time.

On the undead creatures’ side, a ghoul with a hideous huge head, a human-shaped creature that was covered in smoking black armor, and a rider who was riding a warhorse showed up in the sky at the same time.
