“Troops from Scattered Beans!”
Faced with the retaliation of the Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling did not dare be tardy. He picked up a handful of pebbles and tossed it out with force after infusing them with a substantial amount of Wizard Power and mental energy. In that instant, the pebbles transformed into three-meter-tall earth element giants, pouncing fiercely toward Corpse Wizard King.
He had been exposed to even more ancient Wizard Techniques after having advanced to the level of Divine Wizard. It was hard for him to use them at will from day to day as they expended too much Wizard Power and mental energy; However, under the effects of the restriction, all he had to do was spend a tenth of the power or less to use the techniques.
To the trapped Corpse Wizard King, the Imprisonment Space was basically a jail. It had no sense of direction and could not sense Magical Elements, all he had was a pile of incantations with no way of casting the spells.
However, to Yang Ling, the Imprisonment Space was a place where he could get whatever he wanted. He could easily adjust the spiritual energy in the surroundings. He could easily cast the Wizard Techniques that he could not cast under normal circumstances here!
Earth element and light element Twin-element Domain Expert?
After twisting its body to avoid the impact from an energy ball, looking at the earth element giants swarming toward him, the Corpse Wizard King turned pale in shock. A light element Domain Expert was already troublesome enough for him. How troublesome would it be if there’s earth element added onto it?
There were Spellcasters who specialized in one kind of magic on the Tailun Continent, but there were also Spellcasters who train on two different kinds of magic, albeit rarer. Progress when it came to training two different kinds of magic was difficult, but one would become a Twin-element Domain Expert if both the magic they trained on reached a top-notch level. That was definitely make them an expert even amongst the Domain Experts.
A Twin-element Domain Expert, what kind of concept was that? Perhaps, his abilities would be approaching a divine level expert at the next stage?
Looking at the earth element giants approaching it, then seeing the continuous barrage of energy balls, the Corpse Wizard King turned pale. Even at its peak, it had to be careful when dealing with a Twin-element Domain Expert; Now that it did not even have thirty percent of its abilities, there was no way that it would be a match for him. The longer this drags on, the more unfavorable the situation would be for it.
I can’t take this lying down!
Looking at the eerie, boundless forest, seeing the bloodthirst earth element giants, the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez could not accept the fact that it would die here. After clenching its teeth, it sliced open its wrist with its sharp talons and allowed the blood welling out of the wound to fall on the snake-shaped staff before enunciating an incantation.
Eight thousand years ago, it and ten other Corpse Wizard Kings had led an army through a dimensional gap and only arrived at the Tailun Continent after much effort. In order to reverse the fate of the Dimension of Dead Souls, in order to consume a large amount of blood and souls to break through to divine level, it had gone through a great deal of hardship.
It felt unjust that it would die just like that!
In order to survive, in order to dispel this detestable domain, he would rather present its soul and blood to the god of the netherworld and obtain a shred of the source energy from the Dimension of Dead Souls at the price of half its life.
Hiss...
After absorbing the blood of the Corpse Wizard king, the snake-shaped staff hissed and started to coil around itself, turning to the size of a chopstick. The staff had become a small black snake with two horns on its head.
At the same time, Yang Ling felt the Imprisonment Space shake, as if the underground city had been hit with a sudden earthquake, or the space had been hit with a formless attack. Following that, streaks of black gas descended from the sky, digging into the body of the small snake.
What is that monster?
Yang Ling was alarmed as he looked at the small snake lifting its head and letting out strange howls, then saw the Corpse Wizard King who had turned old and wrinkled, wobbling on its feet. Even though he did not understand what was going on, Yang Ling could instinctively a strong sense of danger. That feeling was even stronger than when he fought the Level Surpassing Magical Beast Dark Dragon King alone!
Unicorn, Flying Dragon King, Thousand-faced Mink, Chimera King...
After touching the scorching pagoda-shaped brand between his brows, Yang Ling did not dare be tardy, quickly summoning the high-level Magical Beasts he had tamed. Against the terrifying little snake and the terrifying Wizard Corpse King, flooding the enemy with low-level Magical Beasts would not help.
“Hehehe, die, die!” After finishing the last of its incantations, the demented Corpse Wizard King let out a manic laugh, then gave the little snake the order to attack.
In that instant, the chopstick-sized snake lifted its head and sniffed the air, then pounced toward the direction where Yang Ling was at. The Illusory Formation and Gravity Restriction didn’t seem to affect it.
“Divine Lightning from the Heavens!”
Looking at the little snake charge toward him, fast as lightning, Yang Ling summoned a string of energy balls and ignited them, one after the other. Unexpectedly, the continuous stream of explosions was completely ineffective against it!
Hmph, I don’t believe that your black scales are harder than my Star Metal!
After letting out a low grunt, Yang Ling instructed the Unicorn, Thousand-faced Mink and Chimera King beside him to attack. Indeed, after taking the purple lightning of the Unicorn head on, the speed of the little snake decreased drastically. However, a startling scene happened after that!
After letting out a hiss, the snake split into two. One of the halves engaged in battle with the many Magical Beasts, while the other half continued speeding toward Yang Ling. Not only did it not slow down, it even increased in speed.
At the same time, the Corpse Wizard King let out a soft grunt, then opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was as if the one that got hit was not the little snake, but the Corpse Wizard King itself!
The little snake was too fast, charging toward Yang Ling’s chest like a black line, leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the air. It was so fast that Yang Ling could not avoid the attack even if he teleported out using the Earth Evasion Technique. He had just instinctively raised his Blood Elf Dagger when he heard a metallic ding. The little snake had slammed onto the sharp dagger.
No matter how hard the black scales on the little snake were, it was still a lethal weaker than the sharp Blood Elf Dagger. Coupled with the extreme speed, the little snake got sliced into two when it crashed onto the dagger. However, Yang Ling had not had the time to heave a sigh of relief when the faint snake-shaped outline floated out of the little snake’s body, digging into his body, fast as lightning.
Not good, an attack on the soul!
The snake-shaped figure had just dig into his body when Yang Ling trembled, becoming giddy. Following that, the Imprisonment Space that he had spent much effort in setting up creaked, as if it was about to scatter into the wind.
“High-level Soul Tampering Technique, tamper with the soul of any living creature!”
At the critical moment, Yang Ling could not care about the Imprisonment Space any longer. After summoning a large group of Horned Bee Beasts and Twin-legged Flying Dragons to defend his body, he sat motionless on the ground and silently recited a Wizard Mantra, his hand gestures changing rapidly. He tried his best to tamper with the snake-shaped figure in his body, allowing the Imprisonment Space to scatter.
If he was not wrong, the figure that infiltrated his body should be the soul of the little snake!
Hiss...
Under the effects of the Soul Tampering Technique, the snake-shaped figure digging around in Yang Ling’s body let out a howl of pain, its faint black body gradually turning as red as the Wizard Power in his body. At the same time, the Corpse Wizard King not far away started trembling, blood starting to ooze out of its body.
Soul Devour?
Just who is this person, for him to be able to devour even the soul of the Horned Soul Snake infused with the source of power from the Dimension of Dead Souls?
After the restriction vanished, the Corpse Wizard King had been prepared to seize the opportunity and attack Yang Ling before leaving quickly with the Horned Soul Snake. However, seeing the high-level Magical Beasts like the Unicorn and Flying Dragon King guarding Yang Ling’s body, sensing the shouts released by the Horned Soul Snake, the Corpse Wizard King trembled. It no longer dared to act recklessly after glancing at Yang Ling in disbelief.
His Lordship?
Looking at the various Magical Beasts protecting the motionless Yang Ling, then looking at the blood-soaked Corpse Wizard King, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, gold cloaked warrior Casia, Elder Klive and the rest had an epiphany. They heavily surrounded the severely injured Corpse Wizard King after looking at each other, blocking off its path of exit, in case it retreated out of the underground city.
No one noticed the rabbit-like Thousand-faced Mink beside Yang Ling raise its head to sniff the air then charge into the divine temple, fast as lightning.
Originally, seeing the ball of black gas suddenly appear at the entrance of the divine temple, hearing the faint pathetic cries of the Corpse Wizard King within the gas, they had thought that a Domain Expert had came to the scene and trapped the Corpse Wizard king. They did not expect the so-called expert to be Yang Ling who had always observed the action from the sidelines. No one could have expected the leader to have stepped into the ranks of a Domain Expert at such a young age.
“Hehehe, fresh blood and souls!”
Just as the group was dazed, the Corpse Wizard King advanced instead of moving back, retreating into the divine temple in a ghostly fashion, killing the Church’s knights who had been patiently waiting for reinforcements one by one and consuming their blood and souls. It then summoned an earth element giant and punctured a hole in the wall, exiting through that hole straight for the exit of the underground city.
It had exhausted a great deal of blood, soul and life force in order to dispel Yang Ling’s domain. It had about twenty percent of its maximum ability when it had just charged out of the Holy Dragon’s seal. However, it now only had less than ten percent of its abilities after the intense battle with Yang Ling. Faced with Casia, Elder Klive and the rest who had surrounded it, it would definitely die if it did not escape!
Divine Weapon?
Looking at the figure of the Corpse Wizard King, the first thought of the group was not to engage in pursuit, instead, it was the Space Ring on the finger of the thief Karlowitz. They remembered the Divine Weapons in the ring, all of them maniacally charging into the Divine Temple. However, they soon realized that the Space Ring on the thief’s finger had vanished.
“Quick, the Space Ring is on the Corpse Wizard King, quick, quick chase after it!”
Looking at a blood-soaked knight of the Church that had just died beside the thief, thinking about the Corpse Wizard King that had intentionally returned to the divine temple before leaving, the people had a thought as they quickly engaged in hot pursuit.
Before this, in order to deal with the terrifying Corpse Wizard King, none of the people had the time or opportunity to grab the ring off the thief’s finger; After the Corpse Wizard King was lured out of the divine temple by Yang Ling, those who could still move followed them out.
Originally, the group had wanted to negotiate the splitting of the Divine Weapons after dealing with the threat that was the Corpse Wizard King. No one expected the rewards that were just at their fingertips to have been snatched away by the Corpse Wizard King before it escaped.
