Chapter 673 - The Aggressive Power of Lava (2/2)
Coincidentally, Link had made great strides in the Soul field after studying the Book of Revelation. He was now a good Soul Magician.
After hearing this, Eliard looked at Link. He thought that they might have a chance to defeat the Lava Knight and get the fragment back. To be honest, this was important to Ferde too.
The realms were fusing, and the Holy Maiden of the Yan Empire was Princess Milda of the High Elves. They would obviously be on the Isle of Dawn’s side. That gave Ferde an unimaginable enemy. If they didn’t have the Snow Mountain Archmage’s help, there was no way for Ferde to face a Level-19 Archmage who was about to become a god!
There was a way to turn the tides now. They could risk their lives.
Link didn’t hurry to decide. He continued asking, “Does Mozur have other famous tricks?”
“Yes, I was about to tell you!” Dylosen took a deep breath. “He already used his scariest one. It’s the sword that cut your spatial barrier, called Lava Fire. It can destroy practically any defense spell under Level-16. If you add his powerful burst, even a Level-16 spell can be destroyed. He also has the Lava Double.”
“Lava Double?” Eliard asked. “To die in his place?”
“Yes…” Dylosen broke off to gasp for breath. His state was really bad now. His exhales were all hot steam. Firelight flickered within his burnt and cracked flesh. He looked scary.
“How are you?” Link cast Essence Vitality for him again.
With the dragon recovery spell, Dylosen recovered a bit and continued, “There’s no time… His sword is called Boiling Lava. The so-called Lava Double is that the sword could die in place of him. So…gasp, you have to kill…gasp, kill him twice!”
The Essence Vitality effect only lasted a few seconds. Dylosen started panting again, breathing out hot steam. A bad feeling rose up inside Link. Lava Knight Mozur’s fire was abnormally powerful. He actually couldn’t repress it. It seemed that Dylosen had to die.
His breaths were now basically fire. It was as if his flesh and internal organs were burning now. He was like an active volcano.
“I… I’m going to die. My things…take them. Wh—when you see the Snow Mountain Archmage, tell him…I tried my best…” Whoosh.
Fire spewed out from Dylosen’s mouth. Lava-like fluid poured out of the cracks all over his body. The fluid bubbled and evaporated. Dylosen’s body burned away in the blink of an eye. All that remained on the ground was a man-shaped scorch mark and a spatial ring. This was Dylosen’s legacy.
“Such powerful fire!” Link sighed. If he’d been hit, he would probably die too. Bending down, he picked up Dylosen’s ring and checked it. It contained some spell-casting material, a magic notebook, and the Chaotic Moon divine gear.
Even though Dylosen gave them three Level-19 divine gear, the other two were only auxiliary items. For example, the Battle Horn could raise soldier morale and even make them go crazy. It could affect up to one million people and was a great weapon in a battle between two armies, but it was useless in an advanced fight.
The Chaotic Moon was nice, but they could only use it one month from now.
In other words, if they wanted to defeat the Lava Knight and get the fragment, Eliard and Link could only depend on themselves.
Eliard chuckled wryly. “It’ll be more dangerous than our fight against Morpheus.”
They could still escape if they couldn’t have defeated Morpheus. But if they couldn’t defeat Mozur, they would end up like Dylosen.
“There’s no other solution. The enemy might have a territory, but he’s only a Warrior. We might not lose!” Link smiled faintly, but his eyes were abnormally cold.
Seeing him like this, Eliard knew that his old friend was ready to risk it all. Composing himself, he murmured, “For Ferde!”
