Chapter 546: The Rising Sun of Foreign Lands!

【Winter Dragon】Walrock was consumed by immense rage, his fury nearly materializing as he roared furiously and took flight, exhaling a breath of icy cold!

The scorching flames and the breath of ice quickly collided, dissolving and shattering each other with a loud explosion resounding through the sky, creating a storm that swept around, blowing the nearby Screaming Demons and Wraiths into disarray.

Seeing that the dragon’s breath could block the eternal flame, Lynn was somewhat surprised, but soon sensed that this breath of ice was not as simple as it seemed on the surface—it contained a very special and familiar power—soul force!

Just as Aila transformed her soul into starfire for attacks, this icy breath surged with numerous resentful spirits.

It was this mixture of cold, resentful spirits, and magic in the breath that resisted the erosion of the eternal flame.

This made Lynn take the battle more seriously, realizing that this incarnation’s power was limited, and there indeed might be a possibility of turning the tables.

Lynn increased his speed and dodged the diving skeletal dragon, his right hand slashing horizontally with a laser beam, cutting across the opponent’s back...

However, the 【Winter Dragon】 Walrock, heedless of danger, rapidly closed the distance, his domain of the dead quickly expanding and soon enveloping Lynn within...

This was one of the biggest drawbacks of being an incarnation, having limited spiritual power, making it impossible to wrest control of the domain from the opponent.

【Slow Field】— the Winter Dragon Walrock opened his mouth wide, the obscure dragon language resonating amidst the flames and ice.

Before Lynn could escape the domain, he suddenly felt the air around him thicken like glue, and his body became significantly heavier.

Then, a strong sense of danger manifested in his mind, and Lynn immediately switched from offense to defense, magic surging as countless indiscernible diamond-shaped crystals instantly formed.

【Ice Hell】

Almost instantly, a high-pitched dragon roar resounded again, and a vast amount of soul-powered elements exploded in the void, countless microscopic ice blades along with a bone-chilling minus two hundred degrees Celsius engulfed the entire domain, temporarily suppressing the undying flame.

Dozens of Screaming Demons, unfortunately caught within the domain, were instantly turned into ice sculptures, then their bodies cracked layer by layer, erased from the cellular level, and turned into ash in an instant...

Shielded by a graphene barrier, Lynn, although escaping the fate of being frozen into an ice sculpture, continued to descend.

At first, Lynn thought it was the effect of the domain of the dead, but he soon realized that his descent was unrelated to the skeletal dragon before him.

There was an inexplicable gravitational force pulling him downwards.

Was it some sort of 【Anti-Gravity Barrier】 spell?

Lynn quickly scanned the areas with the strongest magical reactions below, finding that several necromancers mingled with the undead army were jointly casting the barrier.

He was not powerless against this force, but combined with the skeletal dragon’s domain, his flight was greatly restricted, no longer holding the advantage in speed in the air.

As he pondered, the 【Winter Dragon】 Walrock had already dived down, his powerful icy breath emerging again.

This time without the obstruction of flames, Lynn could clearly see, through the icy breath, numerous grotesque resentful spirits struggling in pain, emitting silent wails...

Being hit was no joke; Lynn’s expression turned serious, yet he still had no intention of using a nuclear spell.

Firstly, Raphael and the others had not escaped far enough; secondly, a mere legendary bone dragon was not worth using such a mutually destructive method, at least not until he found the opponent’s commander!

“Rattle... It seems the outcome has been decided.” 【Great Lich】 Cecil watched as a man and a dragon fell from the sky, chuckling weirdly to himself.

It must be said, this opponent was indeed somewhat troublesome; the instant magic that devoured tens of thousands of undead left a deep impression on him, and only Walrock, the fool, would act rashly without understanding the depth of his opponent.

Cecil was naturally pleased with this, as probing the opponent’s upper limit of power would otherwise have required much effort.

Suddenly, the soul fire in Cecil’s eyes intensified, and he turned his head to look toward the distant sky on the right, speaking in a hoarse voice.

“There are living beings that have breached the detection spells I set up; Sado, follow them and find the location of the space-time gate, wait for them to arrive and then kill them, bring back their bodies and souls!”

Sado, a Night Demon beside him, immediately took the order, leading a part of the outer Screaming Demons, Wraiths, and transformed undead flying beasts towards the direction Cecil pointed.

But before they flew far, a strong laser beam swept through, sever

ing the bodies of hundreds of Screaming Demons, and Sado, the Night Demon, was almost cut in half.

“Still have the strength to resist?” The lich Cecil was somewhat surprised; it seems the opponent was more troublesome than he had anticipated.

Cecil could see that it was just a magical incarnation that was entangling with the 【Winter Dragon】 Walrock, yet it was able to spare the energy to attack those pursuing troops while surrounded by several necromancers.

It seemed that the opponent might be a high priest of the Moon Goddess Diana or someone of that stature.

Thinking this, Cecil suddenly became interested; for him, skilled in necromancy, extracting memories from the opponent’s remaining soul was not a difficult task.

“Kohlen, you go help Walrock too, he’s already wasted too much time...” Cecil instructed.

The legendary death knight Kohlen indifferently nodded, then pulled out the rune greatsword strapped on his back, charging towards the location where the man and dragon were fighting.

Kohlen was fast, or rather, it was his steed under him that was fast, grey flames igniting on the skeletal horse’s body, he and his steed like a gust of wind, instantly crossing hundreds of meters to enter the battle.

The timing was very precise, just as Lynn and Walrock were locked in fierce combat.

The sound of horse hooves from behind naturally could not escape Lynn’s ears, but the dragon tail of the 【Winter Dragon】 was already swinging over.

Between the huge dragon tail and the rune sword, Lynn decisively chose the latter, avoiding the dragon tail’s sweep but taking a hard hit from the sword.

The steel body transformed from elements, under the slash of the rune sword, was as fragile as tofu, and what was most crucial was that the opened wound showed no signs of healing...

“Don’t spoil my fun, Kohlen...” 【Winter Dragon】 Walrock shouted irritably; it was about to get rid of this annoying bug in front of it, naturally not wanting someone to come over and steal the limelight.

“But you’ve wasted too much time, Walrock, living beings have already broken through the blockade, all because of your incompetence.” Kohlen said coldly, the blade of his sword rising again, slashing towards Lynn.

Kohlen’s words undoubtedly made the 【Winter Dragon】 Walrock incredibly angry, his mouth again exhaling a breath of icy cold, even enveloping Kohlen in it.

Of course, this was not as simple as infighting; neither the plummeting temperature nor the resentful spirits mixed in the icy breath had any effect on the death knight.

The horse, emitting gray flames, raced through the icy tide, the glowing rune greatsword chopping down in a charge, flashing like a streak of light, the frozen Lynn was immediately sliced into several pieces.

However, Kohlen frowned; he didn’t think the opponent was that easy to deal with, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made Walrock so embarrassed.

Sure enough, a second later, the sliced Lynn disappeared like a phantom.

Relying on the curse sensing of the rune sword, Kohlen did not hesitate to spur his horse in the direction he had come from.

At this moment, Lynn was within a magic-isolating domain, in his current state, taking on two opponents had no chance of success, so he separated thirty percent of his magic to create a temporary avatar to take the hit for him.

The death knight surrounding him, although causing him quite a bit of trouble, also made Lynn notice that figure standing in the distance, observing the battle, a tall, distinctive-looking death knight.

Lynn guessed this was likely the opponent’s commander!

“Rattle... Heading towards me, are you?” Great Lich Cecil’s face revealed a playful look, under the psychic vision, Lynn’s concealment was minimally effective.

【Death Thorns】

Cecil stretched out his hand, a series of invisible ripples flowing at his fingertips, the desolate ground quickly cracked open, and thick, ash-colored vines surged out from the ground, curling towards Lynn.

The ground cracked, plants surged, and the surrounding undead were also affected, the ash-colored vines entwining them, erasing flesh, bones, and even souls.

Lynn’s expression remained unchanged, red flames igniting around him, but quickly extinguished as a high-pitched, sharp wail, like that of a wailing spirit, suddenly rang in his ears.

【Language of the Dead—Soul Stripping】

It was a sensation of consciousness being stripped, the brain trembling.

Although this avatar didn’t possess a brain, under the eerie influence of the sonic waves, the magical body felt like it was about to collapse.

The vines took the opportunity to spread further, entwining and wrapping around Lynn.

With very little magic left, Lynn frowned, looking ahead where a dense vine sea suddenly split open a path, Great Lich Cecil walking over with several necromancers.

Death Knight Kohlen also cut through the obstructing vines, appearing in Lynn's view.

Seeing Cecil and others surrounded, Lynn thought to himself, are these few legends all there is?

He then glanced at the skeletal dragon flying towards them, seemingly unable to wait any longer.

In just that moment, his internal magic was nearly exhausted, waiting any longer would leave him completely powerless to resist.

Without hesitation, Lynn channeled the remaining power into the uranium stone stored in his heart.

Great Lich Cecil, who was about to move forward to extract memories, suddenly stopped in his tracks as a profound fear penetrated his soul.

Without any hesitation, Cecil moved even faster, retreating backwards, and the death thorns covering the land surged towards Lynn even faster, intending to completely erase him!

But in the next instant, endless light and heat emerged within the grey vine jungle.

After seventy years, this foreign land once again welcomed the light of the sun!

The dark foreign territory was illuminated!

It was as if a light capable of dissolving everything had appeared, swallowing the entire area in an instant, and Death Knight Kohlen, who was closest and still maintaining a charging posture, crashed into the burst of light.

Within the core of the explosion, under temperatures of tens of millions of degrees and pressures of billions of pascals, whether it was the powerful necromancers or those magic-infused and death-imbued thorns, were instantly turned to ash.

Even the quickest-reacting Great Lich Cecil, who only managed to cast 【Wall of Bones】 as a defense, was soon overwhelmed by the intense light and flames.

Flapping its wings and rushing over, fearing that others would steal its glory, the Winter Dragon Walrock let out a terrified roar, then immediately turned and fled.

Although it had become less intelligent since being transformed into an undead, it didn’t mean it was truly foolish. Facing a light capable of annihilating everything, it dared not stay in place to die.

It immediately ignored the mission and the fate of Great Lich Cecil, flapping its wings so fast they almost blurred.

Like Walrock, all the higher undead who still retained their sanity scrambled in panic.

But it was obviously too late; the shockwave from the nuclear blast traveled at an extremely fast speed, crossing several kilometers in the blink of an eye and continuing to spread.

Under the terrifying heat, hills were flattened, solid rock turned into scorching lava, air twisted and tore, everything tangible and intangible was subjected to catastrophic damage.

When the nuclear blast finally subsided, millions of undead soldiers no longer existed. At the center of the nuclear explosion, only a crater several hundred meters in diameter remained, its interior filled with molten sand and stone...

Only about a kilometer away could one see scorched earth and the few high undead left behind in broken remnants.

A large skeletal dragon lay dying on the molten ground, its wings torn by the shockwave, a huge cavity in the right half of its body, and more than a dozen ribs in its chest broken, much of its chest cavity collapsed in.

If not for the numerous enslaved spirits blocking most of the damage in the first wave of the attack, it would have been buried here...
