Chapter 1400
Just now, Prometheus seemed to have no intention of unlocking the Holy Light Cage during the battle. He seemed to hesitate for a few seconds. Others might not be able to sense this hesitation, but Lin Yun knew very well that this Holy Light Cage was a continuous spell that must be maintained by the Holy Light Mage. As long as there was a break, the mage would dissipate.
Shaking his head, Lin Yun shook off the thought that flashed through his mind and didn't think about it any more. The fact that he could summon four Holy Light Heroic Spirits to help him when constructing the Holy Light Cage was enough to show that he was a person whose character was completely in line with the most sacred and glorious virtues. He could get the recognition of the four Holy Light Heroic Spirits, which in itself explained the problem.
It is impossible for a person who is not the purest soul and the most perfect character to get the recognition and help of the four Holy Light Heroic Spirits when constructing this Holy Light Cage.
The one holding the sword has no heroism, the one holding the magic book has wisdom, the one holding the staff has holy light, and the one with both hands folded on his chest has piety at the end. If he can summon any holy light without heroes, it means that the holy light mage himself has the same virtue.
"Sir Prometheus, let's leave here quickly. The previous battle here must have attracted the attention of many undead. The death of the Skeleton King may take this opportunity to launch a crazy counterattack..."
Prometheus's face was a little unhealthy and pale, and he seemed a little weak to speak. He just nodded and said nothing.
Lin Yun looked towards the side where the undead plane was. In the distance, a dense sea of undead was surging, but it seemed that no undead were attacking this side. Instead, they were fighting each other...
Soon, Lin Yun discovered a sea of countless ghouls. These crazy ghouls were madly attacking the undead around their territory. Undead were constantly being torn apart. Now it was beginning to become chaotic. It can be expected that the undead on the side of the undead army would definitely not have time to counterattack in a short period of time. They were busy fighting among themselves...
Lin Yun's expression was a little strange, especially when he saw those ghouls, he couldn't help but think of Yimir. He didn't need to think about it to know that he must have been a little too brainwashed at the beginning.
The situation in front of him must be that when the Skeleton King was still alive, Yimir had already started an internal conflict. This guy must be completely convinced that only after killing all competitors can he get what he wants...
Lin Yun opened the space door and returned to the fortress with Prome. On the other side of the battlefield, Yimir held a leg bone taller than him and shouted to command his undead army to charge.
"Kill these idiots, kill these skeletons who are protecting our enemies, damn idiots, damn skeletons, kill them..."
Yimi raised his head and looked at the large flock of birds circling in the sky in the distance. Seeing these black birds, it was like meeting the biggest enemy, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"These damn skeletons didn't even let us go over to kill those dead birds that should be burned to ashes, so kill them all, kill them..."
Countless ghouls and zombies roared and charged, without any formation or strategy, without a huge number, just like a tide.
Speaking of the undead plane, the ones who are least sensitive to the herald birds are the skeletons. These guys are all bones and don't care about the herald birds at all, and the herald birds never attack the skeletons.
But all the low-level undead with flesh, such as ghouls and zombies, have a natural hatred for the herald birds.
Who made these undead basically low-level undead at the beginning, basically the food hunted by the herald birds, or directly put in the pot and wait to be eaten at any time...
Because there are many herald birds in the opposite skeleton territory, Yimir wants to kill those herald birds, but the skeletons don't let him pass, thinking that this is an invasion of the territory, so just fight, and take over the territory.
Now they were not going to fight for territory, but to kill those mourning birds in the opposite territory. These hateful skeletons were all obstacles to their revenge, so they had to kill them all...
Inexplicably, the lords leading the skeletons found that the ghouls and zombies they encountered this time were all crazy, and even the cannon fodders were charging like crazy.
After the waves of undead met, they did not stop to fight each other, tearing off each other's bones and heads, but charged forward without hesitation. When they met skeletons, they just waved their claws casually. It didn't matter if they didn't kill them. There were other undead following behind, and they could kill them with another wave of their claws...
The skeleton lords were all confused. With their wisdom, they couldn't understand what was going on. Why didn't the damn ghouls and zombies follow the rules of the undead plane?
Although no one has set this rule, all the undead lords have been doing this for countless years. If one suddenly appears and does not do this, they will be stunned...
The Skeleton Gate will never understand the hatred of the undead with flesh for the harbinger of death. It is really an instinct engraved in the fire of the soul, especially the ghouls, who hate the harbinger of death simply...
Damn, we all eat meat, and now there is something that comes to snatch meat from us, and eats me as meat...
This is simply unbearable. If you can't bear it, just kill it...
Yimir's ideas have been recognized by almost all ghouls, and by the way, enough zombies that have been harmed by the harbinger of death also inexplicably agree, and then they have become the most crazy army of the undead.
Although these undead didn't know what ideology was, they only knew that killing the mourning bird was right, and that was enough...
Then, after the Skeleton King was killed, the Blood Territory became completely chaotic. At first, Yimir attacked the Skeleton Territory next door, and then the other undead lords followed the crowd and started the war. No one knew why the war started, but it was fine to start the war anyway.
It just so happened that the Skeleton King was killed, and it was the best opportunity to fight for the territory. What are you waiting for? Let's start the war...
Inexplicably, the Blood Territory was in chaos. Within a few thousand kilometers, there were battlefields of undead everywhere, and wars of undead everywhere. Even outside the Blood Territory, other undead lords joined in. These undead lords who had just joined in were dragged into the quagmire of war before they could react. The scene became more and more chaotic...
On the other side, Lin Yun and Prome also returned to the fortress and removed the seven needles stuck in Prome's body. This time, Lin Yun couldn't help but take the opportunity to sense Prome's soul again.
That kind of soul that is as pure as a newborn baby, pure as a blank sheet of paper...
After removing the seven needle seals and sending Prome away, Lin Yun always felt that something seemed wrong, that was Prome.
Not only was his soul like a blank sheet of paper, but his character was also perfect to an inhuman level, simply the incarnation of a saint.
After observing for a few days in a row, Lin Yun felt that he might have thought too much. He couldn't doubt that others couldn't do it just because he couldn't do it himself...
Then he was busy with treatment. There were many people infected with the plague on the human defense line, almost half of them were infected with the plague, from magicians to the seventh level of the heavenly rank.
Lin Yun held the Book of Death and urged the power of the Chapter of Truth to suck out all the plague power in the bodies of the mages infected with the plague and devour them. The Crystal Phoenix was busy digesting the Plague Heart recently and couldn't summon it, but facing the plague power spreading from the Plague Heart, it was too easy to devour it.
It took a week to eliminate all the plagues of the infected mages, and then they went around in the passage for several days to go around all the areas where the plague spread, and all the remaining plague power was swallowed up by the crystal phoenix.
After eliminating the plague, Lin Yun did not stay in the fortress. The newly built defense fortress was very close to the sea of fire. When the sea of fire dissipated, it was time to fight the undead again.
During this period of time, the strong men on the human defense line recovered. Without the restraint and weakening of the plague power, the next war would at least not be as tragic as before.
Lin Yun left the mage corps on the front line, and he went into the demiplane to study the newly obtained scepter.
The scepter looked like it was made of countless undead skulls piled together. At first glance, it was a pile of tiny skeleton undead skulls, but upon closer inspection, it was found that those skulls could be said to include all types of undead in the undead plane. Even ghost-like undead had distorted marks on them.
The whole scepter is the abbreviation of the undead plane, but the surface of these undead skulls is filled with something like patina, which makes this scepter have no special breath. At most, it is a scepter carved from stone, purely for the purpose of supporting the heart of plague.
It took three days, but still did not find how to crack the seal on the scepter. On the fourth day, Lin Yun tried to drip blood on the scepter. In an instant, a small skull on the scepter seemed to wake up from the sculpture, swallowed a trace of blood, and then where the blood dripped, small skulls woke up one after another.
The patina on the outside of the scepter seemed to be corroded and melted by blood. A trace of pure death breath was released from the inside of the scepter. Lin Yun's right hand, which touched the scepter, quickly turned into pale bones, and this change continued to spread. In just one second, Lin Yun's right hand and the front part of his arm turned into bones.
After releasing the staff, the right hand that had turned into bones quickly returned to its original appearance, but there was no pain in the feeling, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Seeing this scene, a few words suddenly flashed through Lin Yun's mind, and he instantly understood which component of the Book of Death this staff was!
The Chapter of the Dead!
After Bane conquered the Undead Plane, he got this component. In fact, many components of the Book of Death were found in the Undead Plane, but there was no detailed record of where and how these components were found.
Because of this incident, there has always been a legend that the Book of Death was conceived in the Undead Plane, and then something happened. The Book of Death, which had not been conceived yet, was lost somewhere else.
Finally, it was lost in the Bone Plane, so the Book of Death was incomplete, with only the Book of Death itself, without a single component.
Many components were found in the Undead Plane, which seems to verify this view.
The Chapter of the Dead is one of the components found in the undead plane. It is a component exclusively for the dead and possesses the purest power of death. Any living creature that holds the Chapter of the Dead will become an undead creature, and it is a comprehensive transformation in all aspects. The magic power will become the power of death, and any spell cast will also become an undead spell.
Thinking of the skeleton turning into a zombie, Lin Yun suddenly realized that he had thought it was the power of the Plague Heart. The Skeleton King turned into a zombie to better exert the power of Peg's scepter, but now thinking about it, the Plague Heart did not seem to have this ability at all. It was indeed the power of the scepter at that time, but it was not the Plague Heart, but the scepter itself that exerted its power.
The way to unlock the seal of the Chapter of the Dead is to use vitality to dissolve the power of this exclusive dead creature, and blood is the most vital thing for living life.
Lin Yun took out a bottle of life potion and poured it into the Chapter of the Dead. The rich vitality was like the strongest acid to the seal outside the Chapter of the Dead, rapidly corroding the outer layer of protection. The silent little skeletons on the surface of the scepter also greedily devoured the strong life force of the life potion at this time.
The more life force it devoured, the thicker the pure breath of death emanated from the scepter. It was the purest power of death, like the power from the origin of the undead plane, dark, dead silence...
An hour later, all the little skeletons on the scepter woke up, turning and rotating, slowly forming a skull shape, and the soul fire seemed to be burning inside the skull.
The terrible power of death corroded everything around it. Many tools in the alchemy laboratory seemed to have experienced millions of years of decay in an instant. Everything turned gray, and there was more death power trying to corrode Lin Yun's body.
Lin Yun looked at the skull in front of him that was spreading the power of death wantonly, smiled, and took out the Book of Death. At the moment the Book of Death appeared, sharp soul screams rang out one after another, as if the little skulls that made up the skull in front of him felt a huge threat.
The wanton spreading death power rushed towards Lin Yun frantically, but these death powers were all swallowed up by the Book of Death as the chains on the surface of the Book of Death broke. The swallowing power continued to increase, and soon all the death powers in the alchemy laboratory were swallowed up.
The small skulls that made up the skull could not remain original. The huge skull was torn into pieces and turned into countless small skulls. With the terrifying death power, they were madly poured into a new blank page on the Book of Death.
Densely packed small skulls appeared on the page. These small skulls kept struggling and rolling, screaming and roaring, but they could not make any effective resistance and were easily suppressed.
In less than a minute, the death power on the surface of the page converged rapidly, and finally turned into a skull pattern on the page. It looked fearless, but the most dense and pure breath of death came out through the picture.
And Lin Yun also thoroughly understood the ability of the Chapter of the Dead through the Book of Death.
The greatest ability is to transform oneself into an undead creature. This transformation is not a disguise, but a thorough transformation. When releasing an ice cone spell, it may appear as a bone spur, and all magic power becomes the power of death, and all spells become undead spells. Everything becomes no different from a real undead creature.
But this transformation is reversible. As long as the transformation is removed, it will immediately transform back to its original appearance.
When an undead creature holds the Chapter of the Dead, it can transform into any kind of undead creature. Of course, this requires a lot of power, and the Chapter of the Dead alone cannot do this. It must be coordinated with the Book of Death.
The reason why Peg's scepter is so powerful is that in addition to the Heart of Plague, it must be combined with the power of the Chapter of the Dead. The purest power of death contained in the Chapter of the Dead is simply a panacea for undead creatures.
The Chapter of the Dead was completely merged with the Book of Death. A skull mark also appeared on the back of the Book of Death. The chains on the surface of the Book of Death were twice as many as before. When the Book of Death was not in use, the chains bound the Book of Death tightly. Any component inside that wanted to rebel could not make any waves.
Sensing the power of the Chapter of the Dead, Lin Yun opened the Book of Death and activated the power of the Chapter of the Dead. In an instant, a layer of gray death power flew out of the Book of Death and turned into a rotating smoke that wrapped Lin Yun inside.
There was no feeling of pain, but there was a very strange illusion, as if the vitality had been transformed into another kind of power, and the magic power had all been transformed into the power of death.
When the smoke dissipated, Lin Yun turned into a pale white skeleton, opened his mouth and spit out a frost rune, ready to create an ice mirror, but the original frost rune turned into a death rune full of death power.
The ice mirror also turned into a shield made of bones. It looked like a mirror, but it looked weird. It was a bone shield that looked like a mirror...
Lin Yun stretched out his bone claws and scratched his head. A series of sparks emerged from the joints between the bone claws and the head, as if two pieces of metal were colliding and rubbing against each other, but Lin Yun didn't feel anything special...
He shook his head, turned around and walked to the other side of the alchemy laboratory. In front of an alchemy device that looked like a mirror, he quietly looked at his new body. Lin Yun's skull jaw kept opening and closing.
The laughter turned into soul fluctuations and spread, but there was no sound in the alchemy laboratory...
Lin Yun wanted to grin, but found that the skeleton couldn't grin at all. Only the constant opening and closing of the jaw was considered a smile...
