Chapter 190
Ye Bai, who thought she would be held back by the Lich King, rode on Ottophis and jumped into the broken corridor of history in a way she had never imagined.
After a brief moment of surprise, Ye Bai came to his senses and immediately put the Code of Death back into his backpack.
In this situation, equipping the Codex of Death is not only a precise locator for the Lich King, but there is also the problem that Ye Bai himself will be forcibly transformed into an undead and will be subject to additional environmental damage from the surrounding environment.
"-10, -10..."
Sure enough, after replacing the Code of Death, even though he was already walking in the Law of Light, the damage Ye Bai suffered dropped sharply. He was no longer like before, even if he was just on the edge, he would still be restrained and hurt.
Then Ye Bai's eyes fell on the lines that Orthophis used as stairs: "Wuming, is that you?"
"Yes..." The paper man's voice stopped just as the line disappeared. Then a new line was born, and his voice continued: "Historical Corridor..."
The voice of the paper man became intermittent at the same speed as the overlapping lines below. This was the first time that Ye Bai felt such strong weakness in him as a "two-dimensional being". It was much more serious than the time when he helped Ye Bai change the equipment conditions of the Death Code.
"The essence is to use a huge amount of extraordinary text..."
“…made of recorded history.”
So that's how it is... Ye Bai understood instantly. Even though it looked like he had traveled to the divine realm of the past, in essence the entire world here was history recorded in extraordinary writing. It was because of the nature of writing that the paper man was able to "repair" the cracks in the way he did now.
Essentially, the paper man uses his existence to fill the gap in space.
However, this also consumed the paper man's strength. Not only did the information he conveyed to Ye Bai become intermittent, Ye Bai also saw that the color of each new line that appeared below was getting lighter and lighter, and the supporting force of the line became weaker. Ottophis's jumping figure was shaking up and down.
It seems that the lines will fade to the point of being invisible soon...
But even so, the speed of line overlapping did not slow down at all.
Ye Bai's expression was extremely solemn, his eyes fixed on the space in front of him that was slowly closing in on him. The treasure house was in that space, and the surroundings were broken into pieces, leaving only the portal.
That piece of space was still slowly drifting away, because the power of the law of light was not static. It continued the radioactivity of the light and was constantly expanding and tearing the pale area apart.
Not only that, the road ahead is difficult and there are pursuers chasing us from behind.
The Lich King on the other side saw that Ye Bai riding on Ottophis could actually enter the realm of pure light, and his facial features made of black mist showed obvious shock. It was obvious that he had never thought that he could pass through in this way.
Then, his gaze fixed on Ottophis and the black line that could still exist in the law of light. Before, he had been paying attention to Ye Bai who held the Code of Death, and only then did he notice the two special existences beside her.
The Lich King only stared at Orthophis for a moment, but when his eyes fell on the lines supporting the donkey's hoof.
Rory was stunned for a moment, and then a layer of blazing pale flames suddenly emerged from the black mist on his body. The Lich King's undead body, which could be said to be immortal, began to boil violently at this moment.
At this moment, this ever-decaying undead spirit erupted with such rage that it shook the entire space.
“It’s you—!”
The next moment, the Lich King also rushed into the broken space like a hurricane, following Ye Bai.
"boom……"
Accompanied by a burst of energy collision like dry ice entering water, Ye Bai suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
After chasing each other for so long, she finally saw the extremely long health bar of the divine-level lich in front of her change for the first time - the high-level undead magic released through the Code of Death was immune to the opponent and did not break the opponent's defense at all.
At this time, Rory, who was also an undead creature and turned into the Lich King, was also eroded by the law of light after forcing his way in. Only then did Ye Bai see that the opponent's terrifying blood bar was constantly decreasing due to environmental damage.
The opponent's undead body, as huge as a mountain, was also constantly emitting black smoke, and was being consumed and shrunk by the law of light.
But compared to the terrifying power accumulated by the Lich King, this kind of consumption is completely within the tolerable range.
"...! I've finally waited for this! Do you think you can still be the God King when you return? The only one who will become the God King will be me. The curse you bestowed upon me back then, I will return to you completely!"
The Lich King Rory's eyes, composed of two clusters of soul flames, were fixed like flames on the lines that formed the steps for Ottophis.
With such a fierce performance, did the Lich King recognize the identity of the paper man?
Ye Bai's pupils vibrated, and the other party seemed to have called out a name, but just like the Infernal Devil at that time, the name became blurry when it was uttered, and could not be seen or heard.
"No one can mention the king's true name..."
In an instant, Ye Bai's mind popped up the ballad. The conquest corresponded to the God King forcing all races to seal themselves, the curse corresponded to the chains of the Infernal Demon, the Lich King in front of him, and the 'real name' that the paper man himself didn't know, but could not be known when it appeared in other people's mouths.
Ye Bai instantly recalled the vague figure of the God King he had seen in the Corridor of History...
The next moment, the Lich King flew up regardless of everything. He didn't need any stairs at all. He rushed forward with the damage of the Law of Light. His speed was even faster than that of Ottophis.
Seeing that the distance between them was gradually shortening, Ye Bai used the strong power of the law of light here to continuously throw "Arrows of Light" and "Purification of Light" at the Lich King behind him.
The Law of Light is the most overbearing. In such an environment, the effects of other magic will be greatly reduced. Instead, magic with the same attributes will be enhanced. Even first-level light magic can cause the highest damage to the Lich King at this time.
'-2113'
'-3463'
With Ye Bai's high spell power and the special environment here, the two spells caused considerable damage to the Lich King, but it was still too little for the opponent's health bar.
"roll!"
The Lich King was no different from other bosses and ignored Ye Bai completely. This human archon who had lived with a curse for ten thousand years now had his sights firmly set on the paper man, wanting to stop him from entering the treasure house.
He wants revenge, destroy Ye Bai's main mission, and ascend to the throne of the God King in this era!
Ye Bai could guess the other party's plan without even thinking too much.
Moreover, given the current situation of the various races in the divine world, where the deep-sea purgatory checks and balances each other, the void spirits are cursed and disappear, the dragons fall, and the elves sink into dreams, if the paper man's resurrection plan fails, then the future is very likely to be as the other party wishes.
At this time, the distance to the treasure house was estimated to be close to thirty meters.
The line below was only a faint one, difficult to see without careful observation. Ye Bai took a deep breath and quickly asked, "Wuming, if I look over there like I did before, can you enter the treasure house?"
The Lich King's goal is to prevent the paper man from resurrecting, so the most important thing at the moment is to resurrect the paper man.
Having come this far, Ye Bai's attitude towards the Paper Man mission has long since moved beyond the initial trial and the player's mentality of not giving up until the rabbit is seen. If the key to this step is to let the Paper Man enter the treasure house, regain the power and break the curse, then she doesn't have to go in.
Paper Man and Ottophis are NPCs, and if they die, they are really gone. Ye Bai is a player, and he can be resurrected after death. With his current experience points, if he can complete this task, he can bear to die here.
However, just when Ye Bai was planning to find a way to support the Lich King by himself, the paper man's ethereal voice sounded, and what he said was completely beyond Ye Bai's expectations.
"No... I'm not important..."
"You must go in..."
Why? !
Ye Bai's head was buzzing, and all the tiny voices and thoughts emerged again. The doubts and contradictions she still had about the God King and the Great Annihilation surfaced again, but now was not the time for her to calm down and think.
'-13252'
A string of red crescent-shaped Death Scythes passed by. Even though Ottophis twisted it flexibly, Ye Bai still suffered terrible damage from the god-level Lich King. More importantly, the Death Scythes' main target was the paper man that formed the line below.
The red crescent passed through the line, cutting it in half.
Having lost its support, Ottophis' body tilted uncontrollably and fell directly downwards. Just as it was about to distance itself from the treasure house it was about to reach, its body suddenly stopped and stopped falling.
Ye Bai quickly looked down and saw that it was a line that was obviously shorter that supported Ottophis.
At least the paper man is still alive...
Ye Bai turned his gaze upwards. In the pure white, the black mist body of the Lich King had already spread towards the treasure house. His body and health bar had been consumed by the power of the law of light during this journey and had shrunk a lot. Ye Bai could even see a skinny figure in armor at the core of the black mist.
That is the true face of the Lich King - Rory, the former supreme governor of the Principality of Gaowa.
[Arrow of Light], [Purification of Light]
Ye Bai's skills kept being thrown upwards, but they couldn't stop the Lich King. Ottophis couldn't move anymore because he had no new fulcrum, so he could only stagger in the air, and the paper man at the bottom didn't seem to be able to hold on for much longer.
At this time, Ye Bai almost wished he could grow wings and fly to the treasure house above, but this place was filled with the laws of light, and he could not use non-light magic such as the Light Feather Technique, which was not of high level.
"Ahhh!"
At this critical moment, Ye Bai heard Ottophis's rapid cry, which sounded very agitated, as if he was expressing something important.
The next moment, she heard the paper man's ethereal voice.
"Yes, this is the last chance..."
——One last fight? What does that mean?
As soon as this question came to her mind, Ye Bai saw the straight lines below begin to change, transforming into a type of text that she was familiar with.
It was a piece of dragon language written in a rough style, simple yet mysterious.
"Ottofis Liard Loen..."
Ottophis? Ottophis!
"As for 'Ottophis,' it means swift in Dragon language. I saw you seemed to be struggling with a name, so I took the liberty to offer you a suggestion."
The name that Ye Bai mentioned when he first met the paper man popped up in his mind. The transliteration of this word alone in Dragon Language is indeed fast, but with the addition of "Lilder.Lorn..." at the end, it implies a deeper meaning.
More importantly, the middle name "Lilder" once appeared on the ruins of the Sky City that Ye Bai had seen, which recorded the history of the ancient dragon king.
At this time, Ye Bai, who was already an expert in Dragon Language, automatically obtained a more essential translation of this Dragon Language with the help of the system.
【Space Dragon】
“Ahhh………………Hoo!”
Suddenly, a heart-shaking roar from the top of the world's food chain was heard. Ye Bai felt his feet slip and he fell from riding to sitting on a hard and rugged platform.
The next moment, before Ye Bai could shift her sight, a pair of blue-black dragon wings that seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun had already risen and leaped into her sight.
