Chapter 1443: Bad Luck

Now that the Bloody Lich had constructed a skeleton battlefield, he had cornered everybody including himself.

He would be trapped here forever unless he killed everybody else, and they couldn’t leave unless they defeated and tore apart the Bloody Lich.

The Bloody Lich could spend years here until it was inevitable for the Plane of the Undead to swallow the Leviathan Plane. In that case, Lin Yun and the others would still fail…

Lin Yun and his companions couldn’t afford the wait. They had to defeat the Bloody Lich.

Alonzo gradually calmed down from his fury. He floated in the sky, and stared at the Bloody Lich coldly. He and Agalon quietly appeared on the Bloody Lich’s sides.

The three deans of the Starry Sky College solemnly surrounded their target. Lin Yun also joined the battle with his magic tool.

Facing such a situation, the Bloody Lich simply floated with a smile, as if he was not worried that he might be defeated at all.

Even though he wouldn’t die after his body was destroyed, it would be a sign of failure in the skeleton battlefield. He might even lose the skeleton battlefield.

Facing two mages who were on his level, even though one of them had almost ignited the God Fire, the Bloody Lich still seemed confident in his victory.

“Foolish human beings, you have no idea what my long life means to me. It means that everything you do is under my control. I only need to glance at any spell to know all its secrets. The truth of the world has been unveiled to me. I’m only restricted by my level.

“Now, I give you an opportunity to challenge me. If you defeat me, you’ll be free to leave. If you lose, just leave your everything here.”

Alonzo gloomily gazed at the Bloody Lich, and suddenly took action. Agalon attacked at the same time.

The three deans of the Starry Sky College all attacked together. Lin Yun also released an electromagnetic track, and launched a rapid cannonball.

All the six of them attacked the Bloody Lich together, and suppressed him in the center, not giving him any chance to dodge.

But the Bloody Lich only established a simple shield of death, and floated randomly in the sky. When the Ray of Death Star hit him, the simple shield of death was broken, but the Bloody Lich wasn’t hurt at all.

Agalon’s Ray of Death Star, Alonzo’s Touch of Life, and the elemental mincing released by the three deans were all deviated slightly because the Ray of Death Star broke the shield of death.

The Ray of Death Star was deviated in the space that was twisted by elements, and darted towards Gandaph. Alonzo’s Touch of Life, like a whip that was hit by a stone in the rear, slapped in the completely wrong direction.

The elemental mincing charged at Agalon as three blasts. In the chaos, the electromagnetic cannonball that Lin Yun launched was also deviated, and shot at Alonzo…

Instantly, Agalon’s starlight shield showed ripples, and Gandaph’s shield was shot through by the Ray of Death Star. His chest was almost penetrated.

Lin Yun was slapped away along with his shield by the whip that was Touch of Life. His shield instantly cracked.

On Alonzo’s shield, a cannonball spun quickly and transformed. In the end, it melted into liquid and flowed down…

All this was because Agalon’s Ray of Death Star broke one of the Bloody Lich’s normal shields…

The Bloody Lich was not hurt in the barrage of attacks at all; they almost killed each other…

Facing such a situation, even Agalon found it impossible to remain calm.

Alonzo gloomily raised his staff, but didn’t dare to attack anymore.

All the three deans were extremely grave. Meanwhile, Lin Yun’s face was red. Although the previous strike didn’t break his Fusion Shield, he didn’t feel comfortable. Fortunately, the Touch of Life was destructive to undead creatures, but not really so for the living ones.

They all seemed to be manipulated by the Bloody Lich, who didn’t even have to fight to know what was going on in the battlefield. He simply let them kill each other.

“Stupid human beings, are you aware of the gap between you and me? Transform yourselves into liches. I accept your loyalty. Just give me your Book of Death, and I will immortalize you…

“The humble must lower their heads. This is your last opportunity to witness me ascending to the throne of bones.

“Every mage’s lifelong purpose is to pursue the truth of magic and the world. Death shouldn’t be scary. I’ve found the gate to the truth. If you’re willing to pledge your loyalty to me, I will permit you to follow me, and explore the truth with me.”

The Bloody Lich floated quietly, and didn’t even unfold his shield. Nobody thought that he was weak, even though one of his legs was missing.

It was a great opportunity, but nobody dared to attack recklessly. All of them were extremely solemn, and Lin Yun put on a thoughtful expression.

Suddenly, Lin Yun injected some magic power into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and sent Enderfa, who was busy repairing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, a message.

Instantly, the peace was broken. Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to release a simple ray of light.

It was a simple level-4 spell, and was much less powerful than any other level-4 elemental spells. It was not even as powerful as a simple ray of flames; it couldn’t even break the shield of the lowest level.

The spell was the only offensive spell that holy light mages were capable of using until the Heaven Rank. Yet, it was most useless. It was only effective on undead creatures.

It was extremely fast, and would hit the target the moment it was cast. It was indeed very effective on undead creatures, but it required an extremely high expertise in magic control.

If the light darted into the target’s eyes, it would be possible to kill them directly if they were low-level undead creatures.

Nobody expected Lin Yun to cast such a spell all of a sudden. A white ray of light darted from the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and hit one of the Bloody Lich’s eyes instantly…

The holy light hit the lich, and produced steam, but the steam was gone almost instantly. The Bloody Lich didn’t seem hurt at all. The spell didn’t work on him at all.

However, Lin Yun’s eyes glittered when he saw the simple ray of holy light. Agalon and the others were all surprised. They didn’t expect that it could hit the Bloody Lich at all.

All undead creatures loathed holy light. Even the Bloody Lich, who considered all the other undead creatures inferior, hated holy light too.

If the holy light hit his eyes, it meant that he would’ve been killed if the holy light had been more powerful.

“Enderfa, we’ll all be dead if we don’t kill this old zombie.”

Enderfa left two of his faces fixing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel from inside. Then, his last face drifted out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel, and controlled it to release the spells.

A storm of spells rained upon the Bloody Lich. Those spells were all no more powerful than level 8. It shouldn’t be difficult for the Bloody Lich to resist them at all.

Yet, the Bloody Lich defended himself with a shield that looked like a skeleton’s face, even though he had been standing in front of everybody defenselessly.

The storm of spells hit his shield, and only caused some ripples. They didn’t seem to work at all.

However, the picture informed Agalon and the others of something.

“Merlin, what have you realized?” Agalon flashed to Lin Yun, prepared to deal with the Bloody Lich’s counterattack. He then asked what Lin Yun figured out.

Although Lin Yun had found something, he didn’t seem very happy.

“I’ve realized that even though the guy is very strong, everything that happened to us was only because we were too unlucky…”

He blamed everything on bad luck, but nobody laughed. Even Alonzo put on a grim expression too.

“Was it because of the curse?”

The torrent of spells that Enderfa released with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel didn’t work on the Bloody Lich at all, but it bought them more time. Or rather, the Bloody Lich wanted to see them struggle.

Lin Yun gloomily glanced at Alonzo, the president of the Arcane College and the expert of arcane magic tools.

“It’s probably the Curse of Misfortune. He just sacrificed one of his legs. It couldn’t have been useless after he paid such a heavy price.

“If my guess is correct, his leg came from the Lord of Misfortune, and contained his flesh. He cast the Curse of Misfortune with the Lord of Misfortune’s flesh as the material. We’re all unbelievably unlucky right now.

“We cannot kill him, even if he just stands there and doesn’t do anything. We might even end up killing each other because of bad luck.”

After Lin Yun said that, everybody’s expression changed.

The Curse of Misfortune was the Lord of Misfortune’s ability. The Lord of Misfortune was among the weaker gods because his Curse of Misfortune didn’t work on gods at all.. However, if the targets were not gods, the Curse of Misfortune that was cast with the Lord of Misfortune’s flesh would surely kill them without them realizing it.
