Chapter 1439
These three mirror images were all substitutes Leon had left behind previously, perfectly simulating the unique fluctuations of life. They even retained traces of Leon's extraordinary power. Even the undead couldn’t instantly tell which one was real.
In fact, the Skeleton King didn’t bother to distinguish between real and fake. He swung the Scythe of Death and Pegg’s Plague Scepter, and in just a second, tore all three mirror images to shreds.
Seven or eight kilometers away, Leon’s complexion had turned a bit green. A wound appeared on his right arm, and the greenish mist on his face seemed to be drawn toward the wound, gathering there.
A second later, a jet of blood spurted from the wound on Leon’s right arm. All the blood shattered instantly, except for a single drop of green blood that remained intact.
The Crystal Phoenix hovering above Leon’s head opened its beak and swallowed that single drop of green blood, purging the power of the Plague. After taking a vial of anti-plague potion and a vial of life potion, Leon’s complexion gradually returned to normal.
Only in this kind of instant infection can the Crystal Phoenix purge the Plague so thoroughly. If the infection lingers for too long, and the Plague’s power spreads through the whole body—magic, bloodline, even soul—then only the Heart of the Plague could truly cleanse it.
Just as Leon recovered, the Skeleton King charged at him again, still terrifyingly fast. Leon kept dodging, thinking hard about how to take down this Skeleton King...
Suddenly, Leon’s eyes lit up. Looking at the Skeleton King’s unstoppable charge, he suddenly thought of another way...
Since this guy has such powerful defenses, there’s no way to take him out directly. So, why not weaken his speed first, then his strength, bit by bit, until he’s weak enough to be finished off...
As soon as the thought arose, Leon swiftly began calculating all possibilities using the Arcane Wheel. In the blink of an eye, Leon smirked coldly.
The Book of All Spells floated beside Leon, its pages turning rapidly without wind. Soon, a spell flew out from the book, instantly cast by the Arcane Wheel.
At the moment the spell was released, Leon activated the power of the Genesis Chapter. The surrounding ten kilometers instantly became pure darkness. The power of dark rules forcibly expelled the surrounding holy light, erasing all non-dark forces within ten kilometers.
In an instant, Leon’s mana was rapidly depleted. Using the Genesis Chapter here was truly strenuous, especially after doubling the mana input to enlarge the dark space, making it even more taxing.
Within the dark space, the Arcane Wheel spun madly. Spells flew out from the Book of All Spells and were cast by the Arcane Wheel. Obvious spatial fluctuations flickered in the darkness, and after flashing more than a dozen times, the fluctuations finally dissipated.
The power expelled by the dark space did not include spatial forces. At least with Leon’s current strength, the Genesis Chapter’s power couldn’t expel space itself. Here, besides dark magic, only spatial magic could be cast.
In three seconds, the dark space was shredded like a giant black curtain by a terrifying force. The Skeleton King roared, tearing through the sky and charging in. As he broke through, he saw a spell electromagnetic rail hundreds of meters long before Leon, surrounded by circles of four elemental forces spinning wildly.
The shells inside shone with brilliant rainbow light—the power of the Crystal Phoenix released without restraint.
Tearing through the dark sky, the Skeleton King rushed in and immediately saw the scene. Having learned from previous experience, he didn’t dare to face the spell head-on. The cracked bone joint on his right arm still hadn’t healed, and although the rainbow light within the crack was fading, it stubbornly lingered, preventing his arm from turning into a zombie limb.
The Skeleton King moved swiftly, dodging to the side, but after dozens of meters, it was as if he’d fallen into a swamp. The space there was twisted, forcibly transformed into a collapsing space trap. The spinning space increased the trap’s pull.
