End of the Magic Era Chapter 1082 - Scoundrel

Chapter 1082 Scoundrel

In addition to the Burning Tower and the Shadow Tower’s disastrous losses, the Odin Royal Family also suffered as the prince’s two guards turned into mummies.
The mages of the Quicksand Tower were the quickest to react, the earth under their feet turned into sand and engulfed their bodies just as the disaster occured, allowing them to avoid that crazy monster’s attacks.
The only ones completely unaffected were the four forces of the Andlusa Kingdom.
Lin Yun already knew that something would go wrong so he stood far from the alchemical device, with Jouyi and Harren next to him. The Azurewave Sword Saint naturally followed the forces of his Kingdom.
A large fire broke out in the Burning Tower’s temporary camp a few seconds later, the chaotic elements transformed into a devastating storm while the blood-colored monster chased after the fleeing spectators, killing or injuring someone every second.
Thirteen mages died in less than ten second, six of which belonged to the Burning Tower, and three to Shadow Tower.
Dedale originally thought that that transformation was already complete, but looking at this scene, his red eyes were dripping blood.
“Damn b*stards, don’t run! Return fire! Return fire!”
Dedale flew up as he shouted, his Burning Soul robe blossoming with orange flames as the Fire Dragon rushed out of it and fused with Dedale.
Dedale’s aura instantly rose up and exceeded the limits of the Archmage realm. Three flaming fireballs were floating besides his body.
Golden flames, black flames, and green flames were spurting out together, the Hellfire, Poisonfire, and Destruction Fire merged together and transformed into a tri-colored firewave that flew towards the monster’s head.
At that instant, the blood-colored light covering the monster’s body sharply rose and transformed into runes. Those runes formed a ten-meter-big arm shield on the monster’s left arm.
The three kinds of flames released by Dedale were all resisted by that blood-colored arm shield…
But it also stopped the monster’s slaughter and gave a moment of respite to those mages. Since the greatest danger was held in check, they only needed to figure out how to deal with that monster.
In the distance, Lin Yun was calmly looking at this monster, some surprise visible in his eyes.
‘I knew there would be an issue, but I never expected them to engineer a mage beast transformation and turn that guy into a half-man half-beast monster.
‘Isn’t that kind of situation something that only appears when Beast God’s Blood is directly fused?
‘It looks like I overestimated the abilities of the Burning Tower’s alchemists. They didn’t even add other materials to purify the Beast God’s Blood, they just split it into pieces to make it fuse with a mage.
‘They are really bold. The effects of that kind of fusion are even more thorough than directly fusing with the Beast God’s Blood. That monster completed its transformation almost instantly before going berserk.
‘But I hadn’t expected it to be able to use a Blood Armshield after going berserk. It looks like that drop of Beast God’s Blood contained information about the Berserk Transformation and the Blood Arm Shield. Their luck is quite good…’
Lin Yun’s eyes carried a wisp of sympathy as he looked at that berserk monster.
Directly fusing with the Beast God’s Blood wouldn’t cause such a great destruction in the future, there were many powerhouses during that era, and even the first mage researching the direct fusion with the Beast God’s Blood was a 5th Rank Heaven Mage.
The mage that directly fused with the Beast God’s Blood also left his name in history and his achievements were recorded.
The ability he obtained at the time was Bloodthirst, and he only inherited that ability through blood.
These abilities were brought up by the fragments of will and soul imprinted within the Beast God’s Blood. This was definitely a poisonous substance to human mages. It was a toxin that would simultaneously target their soul and bodies.
Even a small fragment of willpower and a small fragment of bloodline ability would form a power that couldn’t be resisted by 9th Rank Archmage when merging with them.
That kind of huge bloodline power could forcibly transform the shape of a human mage’s bloodline and thoroughly invade a mage’s own bloodline.
Even the Beastmen, known to have the Beast God’s bloodline, could only use those bloodline fragments or willpower fragments as a catalyst to rouse their own bloodline. They couldn’t let the other things within the blood take the upper hand.
The only outcome awaiting them if the bloodline fragments or willpower fragments gained the upper hand was having their soul shattered.
Was God Blood that easy to fuse with?
However, not every drop of Beast God’s Blood contained willpower fragments or bloodline fragments.
The main reason why the mages fusing with the Beast God’s Blood lost their will and soul wasn’t because the fragments of willpower shattered their soul, but because they couldn’t bear that huge power. Their bloodline would corrode and their shape would change within an extremely short time. The souls of mages that didn’t complete the Extraordinary transformation absolutely couldn’t bear with that power.
Under normal circumstances, there would at most one kind of bloodline fragment. In other words, a mage transforming into a monster would only have one kind of ability, and it wouldn’t necessarily be very strong.
The one before his eyes was a product of extreme luck.
Not only did it inherit the Berserk Transformation bloodline fragment, it also inherited the Blood Arm Shield bloodline fragment.
Lin Yun gently shook his head and looked to his sides.
Apart from Lin Yun, the mages of the other forces were also standing far back to watch the fight. They were only invited spectators after all.
The Burning Tower and the Shadow Tower did this, so it was their responsibility. Moreover, the losses of the other forces had to be compensated by these two forces. Especially the deaths of powerful mages, those were disastrous losses.
Because no one knew if those mages would have been lucky one day and suddenly comprehended a Law before completing their Extraordinary transformation.
Soon, only the mages of the Burning Tower and the Shadow Tower remained on the battlefield.
Dedale was displaying his full power, not holding anything back. He was rousing his Burning Soul and his three spheres of flames to their pinnacle.
His metallic staff skillfully moved and twelve fire vortexes appeared in the sky, spurting out high grade elemental flames like a flood. Half of the flames turned into a sea of flames surrounding the monster, while the greater half of the flames were devoured by the three colored spheres of flames and transformed into even more powerful flames spurting out.
The chaotic flames burnt everything within several hundred meters. Dedale was hovering above the flames with an angry expression. He had three ten-meter-big fire vortexes spurting out an infinite number of fire spells pressuring that monster.
Its left arm raised, the monster slowly walked towards Dedale with an expression full of madness. The surrounding sea of flames couldn’t leave a single burn on its body, they didn’t even wear down the layer of bloody light covering its body.
Fireballs kept exploding on the Blood Arm Shield, but they could barely slow down the monster’s approach and didn’t cause any damage. That Blood Arm Shield was linked to the bloody light covering the monster’s body and wasn’t weakened no matter how many spells it blocked.
“Fools, what the hell are you doing being distracted? Hurry up and make a move! Dylas! You scoundrel, don’t tell me you want to flee?! Sh*t, hurry up and restrain that monster!”
Dedale’s expression became unsightly as he looked at the approaching monster, His spells were completely blocked by that Blood Arm Shield, but he couldn’t stop casting. If he stopped, everyone would die.
Needless to say, that monster was powerful, especially its layer of bloody light. It tore through mages’ shields as if they were sheets of paper, and anyone infected by that light would turn into a mummy. Who would dare to get close to it?
Dedale angrily shouted, apparently wanting to rouse those frightened subordinates. The Burning Tower’s mages started surrounding the monster and casting fire spells.
With the sea of flames Dedale had set up, the power of their fire spells increased by half a Tier.
Huge fireballs kept falling onto that monster’s body. The impacts of the flames hit the monster’s body from all directions while some liquid sticky flames stuck to the monster’s body and kept burning.
On the other side, Dylas was pale and in disbelief. He had barely managed to escape the monster’s attack, but he couldn’t believe what he was seeing after turning around.
‘Sh*t, what’s going on? Didn’t Bloss already complete the Extraordinary transformation? How could he suddenly transform into a monster?
‘Didn’t those idiot alchemists swear on their mothers that there would be no problem with that alchemical device? Didn’t they check everything a dozen times?
‘What the hell happened? Damnit, how could the monster Bloss turned into be so powerful…
‘Scoundrel, a bunch of scoundrels, my drop of Beast God’s Blood has been wasted like that… That monster simply can’t listen to my words, he can’t listen to my orders. Bloss already died…
‘Sh*t, this isn’t just the loss of a drop of Beast God’s Blood, I also lost Bloss, and everyone saw this failure. Damn, that monster also killed members of the royal family, this is very bad…’
Dylas was pale and stunned when Dedale’s roar echoed once again.
“Dylas! You moron! What are you doing? Are you planning on waiting until that monster kills us all? F*ck, that monster is too powerful…”
Dedale and the group of mages from the Burning Tower were working together, but they could barely manage to block that monster. Killing it was definitely impossible.
It was because that monster’s body was covered in a thick layer of Extraordinary Power. Apart from Extraordinary Power, no other power could tear through that layer of defense.
“Sir Dylas, what should we do now? That monster possesses Extraordinary Power, it’s not something we can defend against… Should we flee?”
