<h4>Chapter 753: Both Sides Suffer</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>Shiraishi <strong>Editor: </strong>TheAlliance


    Terrifying ck lightning appeared at the point of impact between the two ck spheres. One after another, snake-like bolts of lightning kept revolving around the two ck spheres.


    A ck bolt of lightning rushed towards the ground and sted a hole that was over ten meters wide. It should be known that the ground there was sturdier than Iron Essence!


    Then, countless ring ck lightning bolts shot in all directions, and the sounds of explosions never stopped.


    The ground within a kilometer had originally been ttened by the earlier shockwave before being turned into a honeb by the fragments of the collision, but it was now filled with huge holes. Dust andrge fragments were sent flying up before being pressured back down by the power permeating the air.


    The terrifying fluctuations spread between the tworge spheres and the air became heavier as one ripple after another could be seen slowly spreading out.


    In just three to four seconds, the horrible pressure prevented any more fragments from leaving the ground.


    After another three to four seconds, cracks began to appear on the ground as if it couldn’t handle the heavy burden. Cracks even started appearing on the hillsides.


    It was worse on the domed sky. A crack that was over a kilometer long could be seen spreading. Arge number of fragments fell down from it, but after falling down a dozen meters, they were repelled back up.


    The ck Dragon Warlord ground his teeth and his face distorted as he pushed the ck sphere in front of him. As for Duncan, the ck mes within his eye sockets fiercely flickered as he also used his hands to push the ck sphere.


    The ck smoke around them had already converged into the ck spheres, and even more terrible fluctuations were emerging as a violent and oppressive power rapidly aggregated.


    Lin Yun became deathly pale. This was no longer a matter of attracting attention. ‘Damn, these two lunatics... Don’t drag me down with you if you want to die! They arepeting in terms of mana, they havepletely lost their minds!’


    Indeed, the ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan hadn’t been able to overwhelm each other with their spells, so they began the most dangerous and terrifying battle of mana.


    As long as one wasn’tpletely unhinged, no mage would do this kind of thing!


    Competing over mana meant giving up on all spells, all mysteries, just to focus on winning with pure mana. This wasparable to warriors abandoning all technique and just fist-fighting.


    One of the bloodiest and most dangerous duels among warriors was called the three steps flesh beating. The size of the battlefield was only three steps, and the two opponents would have no ce to dodge as deadly traps would be installed behind them. The one who was forced to take a step back would die.


    But whenpared to mages staking everything on a direct confrontation of mana, even the most arrogant warrior would sweat when hearing about it and would definitely say that this was more dangerous than the three steps flesh beating.


    Because it didn’t matter who won in a fierce contest of mana... Unless the gap was huge and it was done just to pressure an opponent, the best oue would be suffering 80% of the damage the enemy suffered. The loser would suffer bacsh and his mana would instantly ignite. At that time, let alone his body, his soul would also burn.


    The best oue for the winner would be losing the majority of his mana and losing a rank. If it went a bit poorly for them, they could get a terrifying mana bacsh and be crippled.


    If the two were evenly matched, then both of them would surely die...


    Now... Thepetition between the ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan hadsted for no less than ten seconds. Lin Yun could already foresee the final oue, especially since the reaction of the two ck spheres converging was bing more and more chaotic. He immediately cast Haste and turned around to flee.


    Lin Yun had flown for over a kilometer when something happened behind him.


    A small ck dot that didn’t emit a single bit of mana fluctuation appeared between the two spheres. As the ck dot appeared, the two ck spheres started distorting.


    It looked as if a hole had been pierced into the two ck spheres and the insides of the spheres were spilling towards the small ck dot in the center.


    In an instant, that ck spot casually grew to be a ck sphere of its own that was half a meter in size.


    That small sphere devoured the two ck spheres containing the mana of the ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan before suddenly letting out a terrifying fluctuation.


    The ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan simply couldn’t do anything when that small ck sphere exploded.


    It felt as if darkness kept silently expanding and continuously devoured everything in its surroundings, but it only looked like an ordinary shadow.


    Whening into contact with the ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan, it looked as if their bodies were hit by a Golden Behemoth. They turned into blurs as they were sent flying over a kilometer away and ruthlessly crashed into two hills.


    Two loud bangs echoed as arge cloud of dust rose on both sides, and by the dust settled, Lin Yun could see holes on both sides that were several hundred meters wide. The ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan were both lying down at the bottom of these holes.


    The armor on the ck Dragon Warlord’s body had already disintegrated, everything under his right knee had disappeared, and he was covered with blood as if blood had been poured all over him.


    And Duncan wasn’t any better. The sinister armor he had condensed hadpletely shattered and his ck bones were filled with numerous cracks just like a ss bottle on the verge of breaking.


    In the center of the battlefield, that rising spherical shadow spread and covered everything within two to three kilometers.


    After spreading to that point, the spherical shadow instantly copsed and shrank back to a small dot before dissipating as if it had never been there.


    But it left behind a kilometer-wide hole, and it looked as if everything there had been devoured by a giant mouth.


    Lin Yun was sweating and stopped flying away. He would have lost his life if he kept flying towards the first half of the Night Valley, and moreover, Lin Yun clearly knew that the current situation wasn’t over!


    Lin Yun quicklynded and then waved his Draconic Staff while chanting some sounds. In an instant, Askrim Gates kept appearing in front of Lin Yun.


    Nine of these deep blue ice gates rose up in a sharp line between him and the hole, and after setting them up, Lin Yun additionally protected himself with a Runic Shield.


    After finishing that, a terrifying fluctuation emerged from that hole, and it felt like the real power was bursting out at this time.


    The gravity within several kilometers suddenly disappeared. The fragments within therge hole started floating up andrge pieces of debris slowly drifted into the air.


    Seeing this scene, the two injured Ash Beastmen seemed to havee to their senses after therge consumption of mana. The madness present within the eyes of the ck Dragon Warlord had greatly disappeared, reced by reason.


    The frantic ck mes within Duncan’s eyes also calmed down, and because of the overuse of mana, the mes were now so small that they seemed ready to extinguish anytime.


    The Ash Beastmen didn’t care about their mana consumption or their injuries and unhesitantly used the most powerful defenses they could use at this moment.


    Layers of ck scaly shields appeared in front of the ck Dragon Warlord, whileyers of ck Ice Shields appeared in front of Duncan.


    At this time, all the fragments floating in that area simultaneously turned to ashes, regardless of their size, as a terrifying shockwave burst out from the hole.


    The space violently shook as this shockwave spread in all directions.


    As the shockwave swept over, the nineyers of Askrim Gates that Lin Yun had set up were destroyed oneyer after another. The firstyer turned to ash just as it was touched.


    And the 2nd, and the 3rd...


    The nineyers simply couldn’t resist, they were all instantly shattered. After the shockwave broke the nine Askrim Gates, it directly hit Lin Yun’s Runic Shield.


    “Crack...”


    A sharp sound echoed as the Runic Shield was covered in cracks. The runes surging on the surface of the Runic Shield seemed frozen and the light darkened.


    In an instant, the shockwave passed through, and at that time, Lin Yun’s Runic Shield waspletely shattered and he spat out blood.


    He turned his head to take a look and saw the spatial cracks not far behind him being torn to shreds by this shockwave. And in the front was a several-kilometer-wide, fifty-meter-deep hole, and on the edge of the hole, the ground seemed to have been forcibly stripped away for a dozen meters!


    As for the ck Dragon Warlord and Duncan, their situation had be even worse. The two of them had suffered due to the manapetition, and they only survived because of their unusual constitutions.


    The ck Dragon Warlord was originally an Ash Beastman with a formidable constitution that had been infected with evil power. His recovery ability was terrifying, and even if his bones werepletely shattered, it wouldn’t take too long for him to recover.


    Duncan had spent over a millennium next to that huge heart, and after losing his flesh, his skeleton had be even more powerful. He wasn’t one of the Undead, but his vitality was stronger than that of the Undead.
