End of the Magic Era Chapter 1397

Chapter 1397 - Uncanny Disappearance

An unfortunate undead mage happened to be in the range. His body was instantly purged by the power of holy light. The black-and-gray soil was cleansed. The bones of the undead creatures were washed, and turned into the best fertilizer.

Death and darkness were banished. The land within 100 kilometers was restored to its original appearance. Fresh grass was growing out of the soil quickly into the most mature state. Their seeds fell onto the land, and grew into even more grass.

In only a couple of seconds, the land within 100 kilometers of the fortress turned green. Then, the greenness spread out unstoppably, and turned an even larger area into a fertile meadow.

There was no aura of death at all, just the air of vitality. It seemed as if this place was still the fertile Mesomiya Plain of the Leviathan Plane that everybody knew.

The holy light was dispersing. Those who were heavily wounded all recovered. The condition of those who were infected by the plague improved too.

All the mages stared at their hands and everything around them, at a loss. They looked at the broken fortress and the boundless meadow that was full of vitality without any aura of death.

Everybody was dumbfounded. They had no idea what was going on. In the center, Lin Yun stood casually, and Lord Shawn exclaimed on his shoulder.

“What a rare scene. The level-7 Heaven Rank holy light mage has released all his vitality and holy light at the same time. That was definitely as powerful as a level-10 Vitality Recovery…”

Lin Yun was amazed. Of all the branches of the law of light, the holy light carried the purest power. It was all about healing and enhancement at the beginning. An outburst of such power wouldn’t destroy anything.

All the power of death and darkness had been dispersed in the area of 100 kilometers. The soil was reinvigorated, and everybody’s wounds were even healed. The plague was weakened too. Many people’s condition had significantly improved, even though they hadn’t recovered yet.

However, the case would’ve been different if a level-7 Heaven Rank fire mage had exploded and unleashed all his mana and vitality. In that case, few people would’ve survived.

All the experts stood where they were, stunned. They had no idea what happened at all. They simply saw the boundless holy light. Then, Noc died, and his Demiplane was not just broken, but simply destroyed.

Nobody understood what happened or why it happened. They all looked at Lin Yun in shock. Some people even rubbed their eyes, and cast Mental Defense on themselves, just in case that they were seeing illusions.

In the end, they saw Lin Yun, who was still safe and sound. Even Lord Shawn on his shoulder was unscathed…

Why was Noc dead and Mafa Merlin alive?

How did Mafa Merlin do it? Damn it. Didn’t Noc hit Mafa Merlin’s Demiplane with his own?

What happened? Did Noc hit the Leviathan Plane with his Demiplane? No, did he hit the Plane of the Undead?

His Demiplane was simply destroyed. What happened?

Is Mafa Merlin’s Demiplane much more powerful than Noc’s?

They were undoubtedly the most knowledgeable people of Noscent, but they had no idea what happened or why.

The level-7 Heaven Rank expert had tried to kill a mage, who was in level 5 of the Heaven Rank a few months earlier, and must’ve just advanced into level 6, in the safest way. The result should’ve been obvious.

The clash depended on nothing but the level. The result was that the weaker mage would be killed, and that the stronger mage would surely win the battle, even though his Demiplane would be more or less damaged.

It was a truth that the Noscent mages had confirmed for countless years. Nobody had ever proved the truth wrong. It was why every higher-level mage could kill a lower-level mage without any suspense after level 5 of the Heaven Rank.

The levels in the Heaven Rank depended on one’s understanding of laws. One’s level would improve when one’s understanding deepened. A level-7 Heaven Rank mage surely knew more than a level-6 Heaven Rank mage did, so the latter would surely die in the clash.

However, nobody understood anymore…

Lin Yun seemed to have just enjoyed a spectacular fireworks show. His face was healthily red, and he was not even breathing heavily.

Lin Yun examined his Natural Demiplane, and felt quite satisfied. Everything in his Natural Demiplane was stable. The wind and mana turbulences were only faster than usual, but regained peace very soon.

Facing Noc’s attack that he was absolutely confident of, Lin Yun simply waited and summoned the projection of his Natural Demiplane when Noc came.

The result was indeed obvious. The Natural Demiplane was first enhanced by infinite Eternal Dark Gold that was transformed into the pillar. Then, 108,000 truth runes were engraved on the pillar.

There were also the 72 King’s Pillars…

His Natural Demiplane had all sorts of elements, blue sky, white clouds, and everything else expected of a real world.

It was like Noc’s Demiplane crashed into a real world, which had been purposefully strengthened by Lin Yun quite a few times, as a floating island.

The result was like an egg brutally hitting a steel mountain. It couldn’t even shake the mountain, and it was destroyed first.

Looking at the view around him, Lin Yun had mixed feelings too. The holy light mages were truly worthy of admiration, but not those from the Holy Light Alliance. Only they could benefit everything around them even when they died.

He looked around, and saw that everyone was gazing at him. He shrugged.

“Why are you looking at me? Sir Noc finally understood the truth of holy light, and repented for everything he did. He believed that he should express his understanding by his life. I couldn’t talk him out of it—”

Before Lin Yun finished it, all the other mages cackled and rolled their eyes. Whoever believed that would be even more stupid than a mole.

Many people looked at Lin Yun cautiously with respect.

The level-5 Heaven Rank mage a few days earlier had reached level 6. Facing a level-7 Heaven Rank mage’s pressure, he was absolutely fine, and even his robe was fine, but his enemy died.

More importantly, there were more than 20 level-5 Heaven Rank mages, a couple of level-6 ones, and two level-7 ones, within a radius of a kilometer, but none knew what happened.

That was the most horrifying part…

It happened right in front of their eyes, but they didn’t know what happened. The unknown meant fear.

Many mages felt cold sweat on their backs. They had thought that Lin Yun was dead for sure, and considered how to minimize the consequences of the incident. Even their robes were sweaty.

The member of the Odin royal family felt that his hands and feet were cold, with cold sweat dripping from his cheeks. He was a level higher than Lin Yun, but he looked at Lin Yun with uncontrollable fear.

I think I heard Noc’s last words…

He said he hit a real world…

My ears must’ve deceived me. They must have…

Only gods have kingdoms that resemble real worlds. A mage’s Demiplane is never going to be like a real world…

But if what he said was true, and Mafa Merlin’s Demiplane is like a real world, then it’s unbelievable.

Yes. That’s the only explanation why Noc died so brutally and Mafa Merlin is absolutely fine. Mafa Merlin is a reborn god. He must be.

Yes. Only a reborn god can be as talented as him and advance as fast as him. Also, he owns a kingdom of gods. He still has the kingdom of gods that he had.

I must’ve heard it wrong. Yes, I must’ve heard it wrong…

Levis, who was standing in the rear, glanced at the member of the Odin royal family weirdly. The guy’s wet back was easy to notice.

What did Duke Redbud see that terrified him?

Damn it, it must be something horrible that I didn’t see. Sir Merlin is getting even more terrifying than I imagined. It is wrong of me to think of him based on my outdated conclusion.

That reborn god returned with Sir Merlin, and hasn’t caused any trouble so far. Sir Merlin is probably even more terrifying than a reborn god.

How long has it been since his last level-up? He’s really advancing too fast. Are laws just apples on the table that he can easily fetch?

Damn it, Duke Redbud must’ve seen something. He must’ve seen how Sir Merlin shattered Noc’s Demiplane, and then was horrified.

I thought Sir Merlin was dead too. It seems that my eyes aren’t as keen as I expected.

I think Sir Merlin will probably become the last Great Astrologian, and he will become one faster than I think.

Noc died. The level-7 Heaven Rank expert died in human beings’ biggest fortress, which was nearly destroyed. But nobody discussed the matter anymore, or cared how Noc died.

The rumor was that Noc’s infection was so serious that he was unable to control himself, so he blew himself up, and made the last contribution as a holy light mage to help the other infected experts.

As for why the fortress was turned into ruins, why everybody in the fortress was almost killed, and how the poor undead mages were purged into ashes, nobody cared about those incidents anymore.

At least, the experts didn’t talk about it. They pretended as if nothing had happened. Nobody cared why.

However, the situation of the Holy Light Alliance didn’t look good. At least, the Bloody Prayers became a secret that everybody knew, a scheme that was unveiled.

Near the space gate of Noscent, when the rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance were going to act again, the members of the royal family, who had been waiting, caught them on the spot. The culprits were executed, and someone else in the Holy Light Alliance was killed too.

Apart from the top forces, the other people only felt the undercurrents were surging, but they didn’t know what happened.

The Holy Light Alliance paid a heavy price because the mages who had been exiled couldn’t be tracked down or rescued. Even the Holy Light Alliance didn’t know where they ended up.

The rabid dogs of the Holy Light Alliance, who had dominated the Holy Light Alliance for years, temporarily lost their power because of the members inside the Holy Light Alliance who remembered their motto, and because of the Odin royal family.

All the fanatics who left a deeper impression on others were sent to the frontline for battle. The man inside the Holy Light Alliance who had been determinedly pursuing holy light was rescued from the dungeon, and became its leader.

He was a level-8 Heaven Rank holy light mage and the victim of the rabid dogs’ rebellion. His power was sealed, and he was confined to the deepest dungeon of the Holy Light Alliance. However, he had never abandoned his faith despite 1,000 years of torture.

He was Prome, known as the holy light that walked the earth.

Because of him, the Holy Light Alliance’s scandals were not publicized, and it was not razed to the ground. It wasn’t just because of the founder of the Holy Light Alliance who was said to be eternally training in seclusion.

The Holy Light Alliance’s impression left on everybody changed in only a couple of days. To make up for the Holy Light Alliance’s wrongdoings, Prome even personally came to the Leviathan Plane, and healed the wounded mages outside the channel with other mages of the Holy Light Alliance. He eased the pain of the infected mages with the power of holy light.

However, Lin Yun didn’t pay much attention to any of that. He had too many things on his plate.

The enormous fire wall that Lin Yun had established made human beings press their defense line forward. Then, new fortresses rose quickly, and new defense lines were built. It was the only successful counterattack so far.

All undead mages were investigated. Lord Shawn was sent to find out if any of them was a hidden transformed lich. Those who had offered themselves to the Bloody Lich didn’t look like liches at all, and were just like normal undead mages.

Only when the Bloody Lich accepted their loyalty would they completely die and give away everything. At this moment, they had only just announced their loyalty from the depths of their soul.

The Bloody Lich’s scheme was disrupted. At least, everybody realized that the perfect lich transformation ritual was a trap. Even those who were eager to strengthen themselves didn’t want to lose their souls. They could accept becoming a lich, but not abandoning their consciousness.

In a simple meeting room, Lin Yun, Levis, and Duke Redbud gathered. Levis and Duke Redbud were introducing recent events to Lin Yun.

“Sir Merlin, before you came, Sir Agalon and Sir Alonzo had left for the Plane of the Undead. Then, the three deans of the Starry Sky College left for the Plane of the Undead for various reasons too. Two of them were searching for necessary materials for the Hexagonal Array.

“Sir Gandaph stayed in the Mesomiya Plain for defense. But later, a skeleton king emerged in the army of the undead. He held a special staff as his weapon. The first level-7 Heaven Rank expert on our side was killed by him.

“After that, the plague occurred, and spread faster and faster. Even the light mages here were no match for the skeleton king. So, nobody else could possibly fight him…”

Levis introduced recent events to Lin Yun in great detail. Lin Yun became more and more solemn as he listened.

He felt that something was seriously wrong, and that everyone seemed to be walking into a trap one step after another.

On the surface, the situation didn’t seem so bad just yet.

Agalon left for the Plane of the Undead. It was understandable that Alonzo, being always competitive, followed him.

But why were some of the crucial materials for the Hexagonal Array missing? Why were they only available in the Plane of the Undead?

Four of the six Saint Alchemists to set up the Hexagonal Array were gone. When Lin Yun had been exiled, five of them had been missing. Then, the terrible plague came up, which crippled half of the strongest men on human beings’ side. Gandaph had to leave to search for a solution to the weird and terrifying plague, but he went missing too…

All the six Saint Alchemists to set up the Hexagonal Array were missing in the end. Even if human beings were to counterattack in the end, and drive the undead creatures out of the channel, they wouldn’t be able to establish a Hexagonal Array.
