Even though Alonzo was greatly weakened in the illusionary world, he was still strong enough to deal with Agalon. He completely suppressed the past Agalon in terms of combat and alchemy.
However, before he could enjoy himself, the real Agalon appeared and informed him that if he ever wanted to leave this world, he’d better go through exactly what had happened in the past, and find the thing that didn’t belong. If he didn’t do that, the world would fall apart when the time was up, and he would be completely dead…
He hadn’t quite enjoyed himself yet, and he was frustrated again. Furthermore, he could’ve won, but he had to lose. He was so infuriated at his failure, but not so much as with the fact that Agalon came to his rescue.
Agalon came to his rescue, and he had to be crushed by the old Agalon. He was truly of a mind to take it out on Agalon in the illusionary world, even if the cost was death. He could vent his fury anyway.
But Agalon came to his rescue…
The two of them had always been competitive, but he certainly couldn’t let Agalon die while trying to rescue him. In that case, he wouldn’t rest in peace even if he died…
After Alonzo escaped, he was saved by Agalon’s disciple many times in critical moments. He felt greatly ashamed of himself.
Exactly at this moment, Dereksey, the Bloody Lich, appeared as a perfect vessel to vent his fury on. The guy was the mastermind who was behind all the traps…
Alonzo’s long-accumulated fury was finally detonated…
Alonzo was holding a dry branch staff in his right hand and a green staff in his left one. He emitted a strange yet powerful aura.
As Alonzo waved his right staff, a vague strange wave spread out. The bluish light in the Bloody Lich’s dark eye sockets suddenly glittered. He waved his arm, establishing a shield made of gray mist in front of himself. Then, his body slowly vanished.
When the weird and vague wave spread out, Jophany, who was being carried by the Bloody Lich like a kite, accidentally got caught up in it.
Instantly, Jophany put on a twisted expression, as if he were enduring insufferable pain. However, he was unable to scream.
A few seconds later, countless worms seemed to be crawling underneath Jophany’s skin. Gradually, his skin cracked, and black locusts crawled out of his skin, eating away his skin and flesh.
Countless black locusts were nibbling Jophany’s flesh, but he was unable to drive them away. He could only watch himself being eaten alive. There was nothing but boundless fright on his face. He was horrified to be eaten by black locusts even though he was a vampire ancestor.
In particular, as a vampire ancestor, he was extremely vigorous. He wouldn’t die even if he was reduced to a skeleton, so the pain would be even more terrifying…
The greatest horror was to watch oneself approach death without being able to do anything about it. More terribly, such torture couldn’t kill him. Even though he had been disabled, he still had his vitality.
When his body was heavily wounded, his vitality would restore his body even if he didn’t control it.
As time went by, Jophany already detected black locusts nibbling his guts inside his stomach. His vitality had already been activated. His body was recovering while it was being swallowed. There was a subtle balance. However, it also meant that he had to constantly bear the terrible pain…
Jophany had been accidentally involved, but nobody cared about him. They couldn’t care less about the life of a vampire ancestor.
Alonzo wasn’t upset even though his strike didn’t hit the Bloody Lich. He simply waved the green staff in his left hand at the green shield made of mist. No waves could be seen at all. Only some waves were detected.
The shield made of mist that was filled by the aura of death emitted cracking noises upon being hit by the waves, as if countless beans had just exploded.
The power of death inside the shield quickly faded away. A dark green branch, which looked like a normal one, grew out of the shield quickly. Then, at the tip of the branch, a round fruit matured almost in the blink of an eye.
The surface of the fruit cracked, and a dark green skull that emitted the aura of vitality appeared. It opened its mouth at the mist that was filled with the power of death, sucking all of it into the mouth like a torrent.
In only three seconds, the mist gradually faded away, and a strange plant appeared. It had a smooth green trunk and countless roots. On the top of it was the green skull that released a terrifying aura of life.
The strange plant fell on the ground, and quickly took root. The enormous power of vitality that had been gathered into mist on the skull was spouted out.
Instantly, it was as if a whole different world had been established in the world that was filled with the aura of death. The auras of death and desolation were soon pushed away. The air became so fresh that it was like they were in an exuberant meadow.
As a matter of fact, the place had truly turned into a meadow. With the strange plant as the center, a lot of green saplings were growing out of the soil quickly, turning into tall grass.
The power of vitality spread out like round waves. Wherever the waves reached, grass that was half as tall as a human grew out. In only a dozen seconds, the zone within a dozen kilometers had turned into a green meadow. The aura of death here had been swallowed by the strange plant and sprayed out as the power of vitality.
The Bloody Lich, however, was nowhere to be seen. Alonzo floated in the sky, holding the two staves. He scanned every corner with eyes as sharp as those of an eagle, but he couldn’t find the Bloody Lich at all.
Lin Yun looked at Alonzo in shock. He had no idea that Alonzo was so strong. More importantly, the magic tools he was holding were all famous.
They would all be found by the crazy mages who turned Noscent upside down. At that time, they didn’t know who had owned or created those magic tools at all.
Alonzo’s name was actually not forgotten. He was remembered as the leader of the Arcane College. Unfortunately, the college was as mysterious as its name. It was destroyed twice, and completely declined.
It was not until this moment that Lin Yun realized that Alonzo was the one who made the typical magic tools of the Arcane College.
Elemental magic tools were mainstream these days, but in the future, arcane magic tools would rise. Those mysterious and unpredictable magic tools were even more threatening than magic battleships during the conquest of other planes.
Mose’s Staff was an arcane magic tool that boasted ancient power of curse. The cursed creatures would turn into nests where black locusts were born. Such ominous and destructive locusts would eat away their hosts after they were born.
The terrifying force was irresistible even for undead creatures. In Alonzo’s hand, no creatures below level 50 could possibly ignore the power.
As for the other staff, it was made of a branch of the Eternal Tree. Only the branches that were picked while the Eternal Tree was alive could be made into such staves.
The Eternal Tree was the only thing that had the ability of transforming the power of death into the power of life. There couldn’t possibly be an undead creature within 10,000 kilometers of the Eternal Tree. Any power of death in the range would be absorbed by the Eternal Tree’s roots and transformed into power of vitality.
If it came within 100 kilometers of the Eternal Tree, even a level-49 undead creature would be sucked up.
The Vitality Staff in Alonzo’s hand had some of the Eternal Tree’s ability. Although it wasn’t as powerful as a living Eternal Tree, it wasn’t difficult for the staff to create an area of vitality in the Plane of the Undead.
Even though the Eternal Tree was tall, not all of its branches carried its abilities after they were picked.
In the age of the Nesser Dynasty, an elven tribe would only get one of such branches when they were going to leave and claim their own land. It would be the foundation of the new elven tribe, and grow into a life tree.
All the existing elves had life trees in their tribes…
Such branches were never used for other purposes even during the Nesser Dynasty. In the previous illusionary world, Lin Yun saw clearly that the war broke out, and the Eternal Tree was destroyed too suddenly. There couldn’t be another Eternal Tree.
It was impossible to find other branches of the Eternal Tree. Alonzo’s staff had to have been crafted with a branch of the Eternal Tree that had been left from the Nesser Dynasty and never taken away by elves.
The two staves instantly forced the Bloody Lich to retreat. The place was no longer suitable for the Bloody Lich to fight. The aura of death in this place had been emptied. The Bloody Lich would surely be discovered as long as he appeared here.
However well the Bloody Lich hid himself, he couldn’t prevent the natural conflict between vitality and death, unless he didn’t do anything…
However, Lin Yun felt that something was off.. The curse that the Bloody Lich released seemed to have been blocked, but he still felt that something was wrong with it.
