Advent of the Archmage Chapter 673

Buzz! With a soft sound, Link, Eliard, and Dylosen appeared miles away .

The southern forest surrounded them . It was extremely dense and covered almost all the space . There was swampy patch below with grass growing on it .

The three appeared a few feet above the ground . When they appeared, Link and Eliard adjusted how they stood and landed steadily . Dylosen had more trouble . His body was black and smoking . When he appeared, he dropped down like dead weight .

Link's heart jumped . He knew that the situation was bad and Dylosen would most likely die this time . Using his mind, he cast a low-level force field and caught the falling man .

He and Eliard quickly steadied themselves . Eliard went up to check Dylosen's state . "It's bad," he muttered . "He's practically baked!"

Link had stopped the sneak attack midway, but Dylosen still couldn't dodge it . He was hit so badly that he was awaiting death . The Level-15 Lava Knight was clearly powerful .

Link also went up to check Dylosen .

From three feet away, he could smell the pungent fragrance of baked meat… His injuries seemed grave . Getting closer, Link saw that Dylosen's robe was practically all gone . Only a shred still stuck to his flesh . His body was charred, and almost all his skin was gone .

He put his hand to Dylosen's nose but could barely feel any breathing . His pulse was just as weak . Everything showed that Dylosen was at the brink of death and could die at any time .

Link immediately cast the Dragon Essence Vitality at Dylosen . A few seconds after the Mana surged into Dylosen, he suddenly opened his mouth and let out a gust of scalding air . Then his breathing strengthened .

A while later, he opened his eyes . His first sentence was, "They took the Divine Fragment!"

Link had noticed, but they'd been in a hurry, and the transmission didn't work on the Divine Fragment . He had to give it up to save Dylosen . They could worry about it later .

"You almost died, and you still worry about that?" Eliard said .

"No, no, it's okay if I die . The Divine Fragment has to get to the Snow Mountain Archmage or else everything will be over . Hurry, Ferde Lord, you must get it back!"

Dylosen's burnt face cracked open, making him look horrifying . He was panicking and his features twisted . He looked like a demon . Regular people would probably get scared to death, but Link and Eliard weren't regular men . Their hearts were heavy . To Dylosen, the fragment was more important than they'd imagined . Without it, everything would be over .

However, the Lava Knight's power was also unimaginable . Judging by the sneak attack, that guy wasn't stupid either . Now that Dylosen was hurt like this, Link and Eliard weren't his match alone . It would be suicide if they went to steal the fragment .

Dylosen realized this too, of course . He breathed and said with difficulty, "I know that Lava Knight . His name is Mozur . He's known as the Explosive Duke . His fire power is really domineering and has explosive strength . Less than ten people in all of Aragu can block his sudden attacks . He has weaknesses too though .

"The first is that his explosive power is hard to maintain . He needs at least two seconds to re-accumulate power . Second, he loves the Fire Sect Holy Maiden and doesn't let anyone insult her . You can use it to easily anger him . "

Knowing that his explosive strength couldn't last was important . Link could create a tactic to escape from a full-on hit . As for the second point, this was an even more fatal flaw to an advanced Warrior . This meant his emotions could be swayed and utilized by the outside world . Emotions were representations of the ripples of one's soul . Mozur's weakness was basically a flaw in his soul .

A Soul Magician could easily influence his soul after knowing this weakness . Even if he wouldn't die, his combat ability would be greatly reduced .

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 . Lavlike 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!"
