Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While Yang Ling was setting up the restrictions, the battle in the divine temple was getting more and more intense!

“Blade Storm!”

The warrior in the gold cloak shouted as he released a rain of sharp blades straight toward the Corpse Wizard King not far away. At the same time, he teleported outward with his Wind Step, tilting his body to avoid the other party's Poison Explosion spell.

Even though it had not fully recovered its abilities, the attacks of the Corpse Wizard King was still extremely terrifying. It was very eerie, and completely indefensible. It would sometimes use the Corpse Explosion spell to explode the corpses beside the group, and at others directly explode the zombies charging toward the group; At other times, it would directly use the so-called Poison Explosion Spell, turning the corpses around the group into a ball of green poison gas.

Anyone who's careless enough to touch the gas would immediately feel giddy, their reactions slowed. Some would even die on the spot!

For safety's sake, the Bellimore family only left behind the warrior in the gold cloak Casia and two warriors in red cloaks. The rest of their members quickly retreated out of the underground city and exited the Valenia Volcano Valley.

Casia had long entered sage level, while the two warriors in red cloaks were just one step away from sage level, their abilities considered exceptional within the territory. However, in just an hour, one of the warriors in a red cloak had died, the other severely injured. The soul of the warrior in the gold cloak Casia also suffered substantial damage.

Looking at the corpses of his clansmen, recalling their voices ad smiles, Casia felt as though his heart was bleeding. He launched a strong offensive on the Corpse Wizard King in his fury, his torrential attacks neverending, displaying the Galaxy Sword Technique of the Bellimore family to its extreme.

He had broken through to the level of Sword Saint when he was sixteen, and was hailed as a genius Galaxy Sword Saint. At thirty, he had broken through the hurdles to reach sage level, becoming the youngest sage level warrior in the Bellimore family, as well as the Tailun Continent.

When he was thirty-five, he received the unanimous acceptance of the various elders in the Council of Elders held once every decade, and was a strong candidate for the role of the next leader of the clan. Bringing a team here to scout the relic of the giant dragon was his last test.

He did not expect to not only not be able to obtain the Divine Weapons after having paid a heavy price, instead, they encountered the fabled Corpse Wizard King, the red cloaked warriors he brought with him nearly exterminated. Even though his family had ma.s.sive abilities, every red cloaked warrior that were about the reach sage level were elites that were hard to come by. The family had invested a great deal of effort on every one of them.

In order to successfully complete the mission, Casia had brought with him several red cloaked warriors on this journey. Unfortunately, they had nearly been exterminated! If there were no special reasons, his candidacy for the role of leader of the clan would not only be revoked after he returned to the family, it was highly possible that he would suffer stern punishment from the family.

This way, be it for his future or the glory of the Bellimore family, Casia knew that he had to kill the Corpse Wizard King whose abilities had not recovered yet!

The Bellimore family had suffered heavy casualties, but the other factions were no exception.

The Beastmen had left behind fifteen frenzied Minotaurs to protect the Beastmen priests. An hour later, the Beastmen priests that had hid far away had not suffered from any attacks, but only one of the fifteen three-meter-tall high-level Beastman warriors were left. The rest of them had become the zombie guards of the Corpse Wizard King.

As for the Dark a.s.sociation, other than the four elders that had come on this journey, they had also left behind ten Dark Knights and two Spellcasters left. They had suffered heavy casualties just like the Beastmen. Other than the four elders, none of the other people they left behind survived.

After the ten Great Swordsmen and earth element Magical Tutor they invited met with misfortune, the leader of the Wolf Troop Team Kerband decisively chose to retreat, quickly leaving with the elder of the Troop a.s.sociation under the name of going to ask for reinforcements.

The Church had great offensive capabilities, but relatively speaking, their defensive abilities were much more powerful. Other than losing a dozen Knights of the Divine Palace, the rest of the people they left behind were undamaged under the protection of the Holy Barrier. However, with the repeated attacks of the Corpse Wizard King, with the depletion of the s.h.i.+eld's energy, their situation was getting increasingly worse.

“Hmph, look at my Dark Demon Guards!”

The Corpse Wizard King let out a cold grunt after avoiding Casia's attack, summoning five eight-meter-tall earth element giants wielding giant wooden clubs at one go, commanding them to attack the Holy Barrier of the Church.

Thump, thump, thump…

With every crash from the earth element giants, the hearts of the Church's knights and Spellcasters under the s.h.i.+eld shook. Their hearts almost leapt out in their worry. Everyone understood that without the protection of the Holy Barrier, it was highly possible that they would be turned into a disgusting zombie by the terrifying Corpse Wizard King.

The various major factions had suffered heavy casualties, but the Corpse Wizard King was not doing too well either.

Elder Klive and the rest of the Dark a.s.sociation concentrated their attacks on its soul, and it would suffer injuries if it was not careful, causing its head to be in intense pain; The gold cloaked warrior Casia aimed all of his attacks toward its heart and head. It might lose a piece of flesh or even have its bone cleaved into two if it was not careful; The White-robed Cardinal Bishop's Break Through s.p.a.ce and Time was even more terrifying, able to split open even s.p.a.ce and time!

Even though it was able to inflict severe damage to the major factions in the short span of an hour, it also had several new injuries on its body. It did not expect to run into the fierce offensive of the group after having just charged out of the Holy Dragon's seal, making it extremely depressed.

However, it was confident that it would recover forty percent of its power if it just consumed the blood and soul of a dozen more knights or Spellcasters. Then, his abilities would be more than enough to deal with the embattlement of the group. Otherwise, he might have no choice but to escape the embattlement of the group first and hide somewhere to recover its abilities.

Layering the restrictions required a large amount of Wizard Power and mental energy. This was especially so after he layered a Killing Formation. Yang Ling exhausted nearly half his Wizard Power and mental energy for that. However, in order to kill the terrifying Corpse Wizard King, for the safety of the territory, any price was worth it!

Hmph, all there's left is the last Wizard Mantra!

After giving the Corpse Wizard King within the divine temple a cold glance, Yang Ling grunted and formed the last Wizard mantra, rapidly changing his hand gestures. With the attacks and restraints of the multiple restrictions, Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to tear the other party into pieces with his Magical Beast army.

After successfully setting up the restriction and consuming a large amount of Magical Beast Blood Orbs to replenish the Wizard Power and mental energy he expended, Yang Ling sneakily infiltrated the divine temple using the Earth Evasion technique. He was going to attack personally and lure the Corpse Wizard King over.

Is the vital spot of the Corpse Wizard King its heart or its head?

Yang Ling was a little hesitant as he looked at the speedy Corpse Wizard King. If he was going to attack, he had to attack the vital spot of the other party directly. Even if he was not able to kill in one strike, he had to, at the very least, inflict severe injuries to the other party!

Thump…

With the dull thump, the last of the earth element giant disregarded the attacks of the Church's knights and Spellcasters, forcefully crus.h.i.+ng the Church's Holy Barrier.

“Lord Bishop, save us!”

“Quick, retreat quick!”

Facing the terrifying Corpse Wizard King without the protection of the Holy Barrier, the knights under the level of Sword Saint and the Spellcasters of the Magical Tutor were like lambs awaiting slaughter. They would definitely die and instantly turn into a zombie if they touched the terrifying black gas around the Corpse Wizard King.

“Hehehe, come, offer your delicious blood and soul!”

Seeing the Holy Barrier of the Church's army finally get destroyed, the Corpse Wizard King let out a manic laugh in excitement. The black gas around its body surged as it charged eerily toward the Church's knights and Spellcasters. Even though it was not using a teleportation spell, it was not much slower than the Wind Step of the gold cloaked warrior Casia.

“Soul Explosion!”

“Break Through s.p.a.ce and Time!”

Seeing the Corpse Wizard King charge toward the fearful knights and Spellcasters of the Church, the White-robed Cardinal Bishop, Elder Klive, Casia and the rest used their strongest attacks. If they allowed the Corpse Wizard king to consume the blood and souls of a large number of high-level knights and Spellcasters, its abilities would definitely recover at a rapid rate. When that time comes, no one would be able to escape!

After avoiding Elder Klive's Soul Explosion and the White-robed Cardinal Bishop's Break Through Time and s.p.a.ce, the Corpse Wizard King spread its black gas outward at the price of taking Casia's sword head on, trying its best to absorb the blood and souls of the the many knights and Spellcasters from the Church. Suffering minor injuries was not an issue for it as long as it could recover to forty percent of its power!

“The blood and soul of a Red-robed Cardinal is flavorful indeed, hehehe…”

A severely injured Red-robed Cardinal could not avoid the Corpse Wizard King in time, his blood and soul sucked dry in the blink of an eye. However, just as the Corpse Wizard King was licking its lips in excitement and was about to continue, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air behind him. Following that, a sharp dagger plunged fiercely into its body, maniacally absorbing the blood in its body.

At the critical moment, Yang Ling had finally took action, his sharp Blood Elf Dagger piercing straight into the back of the Corpse Wizard King, accurately puncturing its heart.

“Ah… Blood Elf Dagger!”

Feeling its Blood Essence well out from within its body, the Corpse Wizard King could not help but remember a Divine Weapon from eight thousand years ago. Back then, there were ten Corpse Wizard Kings that had come to the Tailun Continent, amongst them, five of them had died in the hands of the so-called G.o.d of Death, a top-notch a.s.sa.s.sin by the name of Stuart. The G.o.d of Death Stuart's weapon was the infamous Blood Elf Dagger.

Could a top-notch a.s.sa.s.sin have arrived?

In its surprise and fury, the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez did not dare be careless, turning around to attack the a.s.sa.s.sin behind it. Even though the so-called G.o.d of Death Stuart had died due to his severe injuries after suffering from the strong attacks of an undead army eight thousand years ago, being able to approach it and succeed in his surprise attack without it noticing proved that the a.s.sa.s.sin behind it had abilities at the level of sage level.

Compared to a sage level warrior or sage level Spellcaster, a sage level a.s.sa.s.sin hiding in the shadows is much more powerful!

The experienced Corpse Wizard King naturally understood how terrifying a sage level a.s.sa.s.sin was. If it had recovered to how it was at its peak, it would be able to easily deal with a sage level a.s.sa.s.sin. However, it currently did not even have half its abilities. Encountering a sage level a.s.sa.s.sin at this moment was incredibly dangerous for it!

The Corpse Wizard King acted quickly, but Yang Ling's reactions were not slow either.

Yang Ling had retreated the moment the Corpse Wizard King turned around. However, even though he was fast, the green fingernail of the Corpse Wizard King still left a wound on his left shoulder. The area around the wound felt itchy and numb, black blood flowing out of the wound. The wound let out a revolting stench, as if Yang Ling had been inflicted with a potent poison!
