Lin Yun didn’t know what the best level-9 spell was to copy, because there were too many level-9 spells that he wanted to choose. No matter which of them was copied to the spot, its ultimate version and its greatest feature would be displayed. It would not be just as powerful as a level-11 spell; it would have the power to change laws.
Lin Yun continued understanding laws and studying truth runes and the Source Chapter. He even planted the branch of the Eternal Tree in the southeastern side of the Natural Demiplane, waiting for it to sprout and grow into a life tree. Then, if he took care of it as planned, he could possibly restore the power of the Eternal Tree in it, which would be of tremendous help to intelligent lives to be born in the Natural Demiplane.
Xiuban, Reina, and the legion mages had always been sent to the battlefield for practice. They were all in the phase of rapid growth, and it was very easy for them to level up in such a war.
Xiuban’s and Reina’s bloodlines were being developed. They didn’t have any level restraint. They only had to develop the power of their bloodlines in order to level up, and so did the legion mages.
The mages in the legion had been advancing to the Heaven Rank one after another ever since Kurumu reached the Heaven Rank. When all the legion mages reached the Heaven Rank, their real power would soar.
When all the 50 legion mages reached the Heaven Rank, they would surely be the strongest below level 5 of the Heaven Rank. In the war against undead creatures, they would be tireless slaughter machines. The efficiency of them eliminating undead creatures would probably be only lower than that of level-5 Heaven Rank holy light mages.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Noscent’s troops had almost expelled undead creatures from Dirty Blood. The space in the channel had almost been completely stabilized too. One month later, it would be the best opportunity to activate the Hexagonal Array.
99% of the channel had been occupied. Iron fortresses had been established in the channel like nails. In the sky, the glow of magic enshrouded the entire channel like an aurora. The space here was already partly separated from the Plane of the Undead. All they needed was the last step.
As the end drew near, everyone became anxious. They had fought fiercely for years before they finally reached this step. If they were to fail, then their years of effort would be for nothing.
More importantly, the channel was already able to endure the power of level-9 Heaven Rank experts. When it completely stabilized, every expert would be able to unleash all their power.
The Lionheart Prince, the forest elves’ king, Agalon, and Alonzo had all appeared on the front line in case of emergencies. Lin Yun had walked out of his Natural Demiplane too, prepared for the final war.
When he came to the undead creatures’ side disguised as one of them, he finally discovered something unusual. The undead creatures had basically stopped fighting among themselves…
In a very short amount of time, the intensity of their conflicts had declined. While Lin Yun was on his way, he even saw two armies that were fighting fiercely retreat to their own respective territory, as if they had received some sort of order.
He arrived in Emir’s territory, and received another huge amount of essence of the undead, which activated the spot for the ultimate level-9 spell on the Sage Chapter, but Lin Yun wasn’t happy at all.
“Buddy, why are you here? Is the Master of Death not here? I’ve received the summoning of the Master of Hunger…”
Lin Yun had every reason to be upset after hearing that. His speculation had finally been confirmed.
Those undead overlords had been fighting for such a long time that they hated each other even if there were no grievances between them in the past. How could they stop fighting so easily?
It could’ve only happened when the real top undead experts arrived. Also, even those who were as strong as the Bloody Lich might not be able to suppress those undead overlords. It was very likely that some of the King of the Undead’s horsemen had come.
Beyond his expectation, he learned from Emir that the Hunger Horseman and the Death Horseman were both here. It shouldn’t be surprising if he saw Page, the Plague Horseman, too.
The Plague Horseman’s scepter and heart had been stolen. He had every reason to come with the other two horsemen.
All three of them had arrived. So, the War Horseman was certainly here too…
The only reason why the four horsemen had all arrived could’ve only been that the King of the Undead had woken up. Without his order, those four guys who had always been busy fighting each other would’ve never gathered as a team…
Thinking about that, Lin Yun put on an awful expression.
The King of the Undead’s four horsemen were much more influential than expected. Their command over undead creatures was surprising too. The last time Lin Yun was here, the undead creatures were busy fighting each other. He even saw a level-47 undead creature killed.
So, the four horsemen couldn’t have already arrived the last time he was here. It had only been half a month, but the battlefield across thousands of kilometers had calmed down. They stopped fighting each other.
The four horsemen, with their deterrence, could really unite the undead creatures into a thick rope, making their performance 100 times better than it had been in the previous part of the war.
Besides, the four horsemen who were in the peak of level 49 were no weaker than level-9 Heaven Rank mages. They might be even stronger in some aspects.
The Plague Horseman was incapable of releasing an irresistible plague in a large area now that he had lost his scepter and the Heart of Plague, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t release plague anymore. It was just that he couldn’t sweep across all of Noscent’s troops with a plague now.
Good thing that the Plague Horseman’s scepter had been taken away. Otherwise, no battles would’ve been needed. The Plague Horseman could’ve contaminated the entire channel on his own.
Everybody below the Heaven Rank would be killed within a week. A month later, if there was no solution, the experts below level 5 of the Heaven Rank would also die because of the plague.
Thinking about that, Lin Yun felt cold sweat on his back. Luckily, the Plague Horseman had only been slightly interested, and hadn’t really come in person previously. He had merely offered his scepter.
The Plague Horseman had lost his method of area suppression. He had to count on his own strength instead.
But the other three horsemen were much more troublesome. The Plague Horseman was the weakest of the horsemen because the power of plague didn’t work on the other horsemen.
The Hunger Horseman was said to be a pure ghoul that was hideous and scary. His head took up one-third of his entire body, and he had the biggest mouth with three rows of teeth. It was said that even the skeletons on his level couldn’t withstand his bite.
He could swallow and digest anything. Until the King of the Undead subdued him, the Hunger Horseman had been hunting crazily in the Plane of the Undead, and swallowing everything he saw. He was slim, hunched, and never full. Furthermore, he had narrow and long limbs, but he boasted the power to destroy anything. He was a maniac among undead creatures.
When the Hunger Horseman and the Plague Horseman fought, the Hunger Horseman even swallowed the Plague Horseman’s power of plague…
The War Horseman was the King of the Undead’s earliest follower, and had been by the King of the Undead’s side all the time during his conquest of the Plane of the Undead. His arrival meant war. No undead overlords could ever beat him. He had never lost once even in the battles against some undead overlords.
The Death Horseman was the most mysterious one and the only one whose background was unknown. Someone said that he was the first Death Knight in the Plane of the Undead and the only guy who was known as the Death Knight.
But some claimed that he was not the first Death Knight, but he killed all the Death Knights who were born before him. All the new Death Knights were covered in his shadow.
The Death Knight even fought the King of the Undead for the supreme throne, only to fail in the end. The King of the Undead swallowed the Death Knight, and made another step forward, turning into the King of the Undead.
After the King of the Undead ascended to the supreme throne, he resurrected the Death Knight as the Death Horseman. Ever since then, the Death Horseman had been his greatest warrior that represented death…
Thinking about the four horsemen, Lin Yun put on a terrible expression. He had just reached level 8 of the Heaven Rank, which was astonishingly fast for any mage. Also, Lin Yun was much stronger than other mages on his level. Very few level-8 Heaven Rank experts could fight him…
However, thinking about the four horsemen around him, Lin Yun felt that his heart was pounding.
All of them were brutal guys. Any one of them could probably beat him easily, not to mention that all of them had gathered. If he were cornered here, he would surely die quickly.
When the four horsemen gathered, no mages who hadn’t ignited the God Fire could possibly fight them, especially not in the Plane of the Undead. There would be no exceptions.
The four horsemen could only be beaten separately. When they gathered together, only the King of the Undead would be able to suppress them. Also, they wouldn’t lower their proud heads to anyone else except the King of the Undead.
“Buddy, what’s the matter? Have you sensed the summoning? Let’s hurry up. We cannot let the Master of Hunger wait, or we will be swallowed…”
