Chapter 92

"Wait a moment, this doesn’t seem to make sense..."

It is well known that undead creatures are fearless and tireless. Even if they know there is a bar of soap in front of them, they would bend down to pick it up without hesitation. The only thing that could make an undead creature feel fear would be a more powerful undead creature.

But which part of Lin Yun’s appearance resembles that of an undead creature?

Could it be caused by the Sage’s Chapter again?

No, that’s not right...

He had just put the Sage’s Chapter in his pocket.

This was not an ordinary pocket. His twenty years of living in the apocalypse had made him accustomed to carrying all important items on his person. After coming to this era, the first enchanted item he made was the black robe he was wearing, especially the pocket, which had three alchemical arrays. Besides maintaining a constant temperature for storing alchemical potions, it also had the effect of sealing magical fluctuations.

When the Sage’s Chapter was in his pocket, even the Soulfire couldn’t draw any energy from it. How could it affect the skeleton warrior?

To prove his judgment, Lin Yun conducted a test. He first placed the Sage’s Chapter on the ground, then used a delayed explosion fireball to trigger a skeleton warrior.

The result was that when the skeleton warrior passed by the Sage’s Chapter, it didn’t even glance at it and charged straight ahead...

After resolving the skeleton warrior with a Flame Spear, Lin Yun bent down to pick up the Sage’s Chapter. This test already proved that his previous judgment was correct, and the skeleton warrior’s abnormal behavior had nothing to do with the Sage’s Chapter.

But if it wasn’t the Sage’s Chapter, what could it be?

Lin Yun carefully recalled his recent experiences. The only thing that could be related to undead creatures was the Prince’s Tomb in the Poison Mist Canyon, and the most suspicious place in that tomb was the Garden of Death...

But the only thing he brought out from the Garden of Death was the Sage’s Chapter...

"Wait!" At this thought, Lin Yun was suddenly startled. No, what he brought out from the Garden of Death wasn’t just the Sage’s Chapter...

He himself also came out of the Garden of Death!

This was a power!

This was the power he obtained from the Garden of Death!

The moment this thought surfaced in his mind, Lin Yun recalled a person.

The second super-strong being to conquer the Undead Plane after the Undead Overlord Sandro, the Heaven Mage Conqueror Charles, who almost single-handedly fought against Sandro’s undead army.

When Conqueror Charles was only eight years old, his entire family died under the iron hooves of Sandro’s undead army. Charles, who narrowly escaped, struggled in the lower echelons of society for ten years, relying on his hatred of Sandro to sustain him. At the age of twenty, he became a mage. To be honest, a mage at twenty wasn’t a genius, and at that time, Charles could only join a second-rate mercenary group.

However, it was in this second-rate mercenary group that Charles soared to the sky. He became a High Mage at twenty-one, an Archmage at twenty-five, and by the age of thirty, he had stepped into the ranks of the Archmages.

After that, Charles’ life became a true legend.

Charles led that second-rate mercenary group to conquer dozens of planes over a hundred years, and with his glorious battle record, he earned the title of Conqueror.

In the end, Charles entered the Undead Plane alone and, with his own strength, destroyed Sandro’s remaining undead army, leaving no undead creatures in the entire Undead Plane. That battle shook the entire Noscent world, and Charles was thoroughly placed on a pedestal. However, after conquering the endless planes, Charles did not hesitate to follow in Sandro’s footsteps, and the two entered the endless planes one after the other, drifting in the rifts of time and space, and from then on, no news of them ever returned to Noscent.

These two people were legendary figures during the peak of the magical civilization.

Lin Yun remembered that the Conqueror Charles had also entered the Garden of Death and once publicly admitted that he had obtained a power called the Bane of the Undead in the Garden of Death.

Back then, with the Bane of the Undead, Charles had a natural aura of authority when facing any undead creature. Even legendary undead creatures like Spectral Ancient Dragons and Skeletal Titans would tremble before Charles, because Charles had spent his entire life fighting undead creatures, and the countless slaughters made him the natural enemy of all undead creatures. Any undead creature in front of him would feel fear from the depths of their soul.

At that time, although the Undead Overlord Sandro and the Conqueror Charles both entered the endless planes, the legends they left behind in Noscent did not disappear. Countless powerful mages searched for the Garden of Death, hoping to obtain the Undying Contract and the Bane of the Undead.

Especially the Bane of the Undead...

Because at that time, almost all mages unanimously believed that Charles’ greatest pride was his lifelong battle against undead creatures, but his greatest regret was also his lifelong battle against undead creatures.

If Charles had more enemies that were not undead creatures, perhaps he would have discovered that this power was not just effective against undead creatures...

Unfortunately, with the disappearance of the Conqueror Charles, the Bane of the Undead also disappeared. Until the magic was exhausted and Noscent was destroyed, no one could prove the initial conjecture.

Now, Lin Yun had this opportunity...

Because Lin Yun was already certain that the power he possessed was most likely the Bane of the Undead that the Conqueror Charles once had.

No wonder he didn’t feel anything at the time. This was because the Bane of the Undead and the Undying Contract were different. The Undying Contract was an active ability, while the Bane of the Undead was a passive ability.

In other words, as long as he stood there, the Bane of the Undead would always be present. This power would not bring any changes to his body.

As for why he possessed this power, Lin Yun could now guess a little.

Didn’t that unfortunate Grandmaster say...

"Every choice you make in the illusion may affect your final harvest."

At the time, Lin Yun was worried that since he had been casting spells and fighting from start to finish in the illusion without making any choices, he might end up with nothing in the end.

Now Lin Yun understood...

Continuously casting spells and fighting was also a choice.
