Chapter 616: Chapter 616

A massive fireball plummeted untamed from the heavens, shattering a dark barrier as if it was mere paper. This was the defense magic cast by the spell skeleton.

Next, the fireball struck the icy surface, making layers of ice shatter and break apart. A level 30 explosive destructive spell was not something that the level 20 Dark Ice King, who had been resting on his laurels, could stop.

Layer after layer of barriers, made up of darkness and icy energy, were futilely destroyed until, eventually, the fireball crashed down.

With a "boom", Du You felt deafened, his vision blackened, seeing nothing. But he could feel the brutal force very clearly.

This explosion power, even if it was his own magic, Du You could not be completely immune.

The raging flames started sweeping towards him, instantly shattering the shield spell that Du You had cast. The destruction that exceeded his own power by much, for the first time made Du You realize what a spell backlash felt like. His head ached as if it was pierced by needles.

Next, the dark whirlwind of the whirlwind protection was torn to shreds. The terrifyingly powerful defensive spell and magic resistance of the Death Ape had all its passive damage reduction skills fully activated, but amidst the flames, the flesh on its body was still getting evaporated constantly.

Had this Death Ape still possessed a sense of pain, it probably would have been screaming continuously by now.

After holding up for a while, his strongest tank-type Death Ape was vaporized from nowhere and turned into ashes. The Black Jade Griffin behind the Death Ape didn’t last much longer before it was completely burnt down.

After layers of weakening, the power of the flames had reduced significantly, but it still exceeded Du You’s expectations. Just as the flames arrived, Du You’s Dark Absorption was shattered in an instant.

In that moment, a large chunk of the fire disappeared all of a sudden, but Du You felt sudden weakness throughout his body and intense pain. "I never realized this issue before."

Du You discovered that after using Dark Absorption to absorb his own spell, he could actually recover his magic power to a certain extent.

The overpowering Destruction Flame had nearly drained all of Du You’s magic power earlier. Even with Du You’s current magic power, he could barely hold on. But the moment his Dark Absorption made contact, his magic power almost hit rock bottom, however, at the next moment, it suddenly surged. At this moment, Du You’s magic power had recovered to nearly half. Chapters fırst released on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥

But this isn’t necessarily a good thing, because the absorbed magic power was too raging.

Inside Du You’s Sea of Consciousness, magic power was running wild, intensifying the pain in his head. Meanwhile, this magic power spread to his entire body, making Du You feel as if he was being roasted over a flame.

On the surface of Du You’s body, black flames could be seen burning. If this weren’t his own spell and had been cast by someone else, when Du You dared to directly absorb the magic power into his body without transforming it, he would have been burnt to ashes in an instant.

The greatly weakened flames continued to spread. The Drifting Feathers released by Lin Yushi was evaporated in an instant. What came next was the Demons’ Destruction Wings, which resisted for over a second before being burnt down.

To be able to resist for a second, this indicates that the flames had reached the end of their tether.

The flames that were about to disperse were finally stopped by Lin Yucha. Before her Magic Power Veil was burnt down, she managed to completely block them. However, the massive impact threw Lin Yucha backwards.

Du You and Lin Yushi, who were behind her, also got swept up by the impact and ended up tumbling backward until they were stopped by something.

When Du You lifted his head, he realized what had stopped him was a unicorn.

The unicorn had been standing behind them this entire time, with the majority of the attacks being borne by Du You and the others. The unicorn stood at the rear and only used his only defensive skill on itself. It had a Light Shield in front of it, which remained untouched.

"Comfortable huh." Du You spoke with a hint of resentment.

The unicorn began to kick the ground with dissatisfaction.

"What? This Light Shield could only be used on yourself and not beyond half a meter from yourself? Alright, forget about it, what did you do just now? Wait! What did you say? The magic staff was activated by you?"

Du You suddenly realized that the unicorn’s abilities were more potent than he had imagined. The previous magic staff was left behind by a brave warrior. Even though the brave warrior was dead, the power within the staff remained.

So, the unicorn used its own light power to stimulate the power left in the staff, creating a Holy Light Chain, which was also one of the staff’s abilities. The Holy Light Chain wasn’t very strong, but it was effective against the Dark Ice King.

It managed to delay the Dark Ice King for several seconds, allowing Du You to launch his spell smoothly.

"Alright, alright, you were useful after all. But next time, you better not be so scared of dying," Du You told the unicorn. Du You had himself a unicorn pet for the sake of battle, not to keep it as a showcase.

The unicorn nodded vigorously, suggesting it had indeed been valiant all along.

Du You could feel the weakening pain and numbness on his body as well as the seething magic power. It seemed that he wouldn’t be able to fight for a while. The two sisters had also gotten up by now, with their magic powers nearly exhausted from the full force defense earlier.

Just then, a figure gradually rose from the center of the flames. "This thing isn’t dead yet?" Du You’s eyes widened. The surrounding skeletons had been cleared away, but the Dark Ice King was still alive. Its flesh had been entirely burned, yet the pitch-black bones were still struggling to get up.

These bones were still intact after that horrifying fireball explosion, not a single crack on them. It was quite terrifying indeed.

Du You quickly commanded the surrounding Destruction Evil Dogs to prepare for an attack. However, at that moment, the unicorn suddenly lifted its head, releasing a beam of holy light that landed on the skeleton. A Holy Healing Skill greatly reduced the skeleton’s energy.

The moment the Holy Healing Skill passed, a burst of holy light exploded on the skeleton’s body. The skeleton broke into pieces and turned into fragments of bones on the ground.

"That was a Divine Seal? Since when did you use that?" Du You checked his panel and discovered that the unicorn had placed the Divine Seal on the skeleton’s body at some point.

The timing was just right. The previous Holy Healing Skill and Divine Blessing used by the unicorn, coupled with the damage inflicted by the Holy Light Chain, caused a massive explosion, exhausting the Dark Ice King’s last bit of power.

While the skeleton remained intact, the death power maintaining it had been fully drained. The conversion ritual was thoroughly disrupted and the Dark Ice King had ceased to be a threat to this world any longer.

Only those skeletal remains were left. Du You walked over and picked up a piece of bone to examine. Such a tough object, it might be some valuable material.
