Chapter 1436: Saved

Three days later, a young man who only seemed to be in his twenties came to Lin Yun. Looking at the young man who was only a Great Mage, Lin Yun put on a weird expression.

The young man had Agalon’s face, but his hair was unkempt, and his clothes reeked with an indescribable smell. His hands were also stained because of alchemy experiments. He couldn’t have looked more like a weirdo.

“Merlin, why are you here?”

Agalon seemed rather anxious. Obviously, he hadn’t quite figured out what was going on yet, and he was shocked to see Lin Yun.

“Merlin, this is a goddamn trap. This is the Kingdom of Nightmares. Someone lured me to this place. I’ve even lost in touch with my Natural Demiplane. Why are you here?”

Agalon seemed quite nervous, and he had every reason to be. The war between the Leviathan Plane and the Plane of the Undead was continuing. Also, the channel was getting more and more stable. He didn’t have much time.

Now that he had seen Lin Yun, he knew that Lin Yun had to be here for him. Lin Yun shouldn’t have been born in this age yet, but he had appeared as a level-7 Heaven Rank expert, so he must’ve arrived in person.

Lin Yun grabbed Agalon and waved his hand.

“Sir, no need to feel anxious. I know that someone lured you here, but this is just a projection based on your memories. This is your dream. When you get out of here, no matter how long you’ve stayed here, it’ll be just a dream. When the illusionary world breaks, you’ll wake up.

“Besides you, Alonzo, Gandaph, and the others have been lured here too. I knew that someone was trying to stop us from setting up the Hexagonal Array, but I had to come too.

“This place is extremely dangerous. The illusionary world might collapse. When it does, everything in it will be destroyed. We have to hurry up. The clock has been ticking since I entered this illusionary world, which will collapse in 100 years at most.”

Hearing what Lin Yun said, Agalon calmed down. Even though he was only a Great Mage, he knew that Lin Yun had to know how to escape from this world, and that he might even have already escaped from his own dream.

Agalon calmed down, and waited for Lin Yun to continue.

“Sir, this is the deeper part of the Kingdom of Nightmares. Every person who comes here will be trapped in their own illusionary world. They’ll be destroyed if they cannot escape.

“In every illusionary world, there’s something that doesn’t belong there. That will be the key to our escape. Sir, please find the thing that doesn’t belong in the most important place to you here. We’ll be able to leave as soon as you destroy it.”

Agalon considered for a moment, and led Lin Yun to his alchemy lab, which was full of strange smells and shabby devices. Most of the devices were even handmade, and had absolutely no precision.

Cleaning up the place with a spell, Agalon began to search his alchemy lab bit by bit. However, he didn’t find anything that didn’t belong after three times of searching.

Lin Yun frowned. He didn’t suspect that Agalon was mistaken, as this was the place which had left the deepest impression on him. The man remembered everything here perfectly. He couldn’t be wrong.

Agalon was rather confused too. He couldn’t find anything that didn’t belong to this place. In this era, he spent almost all his time in this shabby lab. He conducted all his experiments here, which was how he killed 100 years of time.

Suddenly, seeing the alchemy devices, Lin Yun had a thought.

“Sir, do you remember what alchemy experiment you were going to conduct? Try to redo the experiment through exactly the same steps as you did…”

Agalon’s eyes glittered. He realized what Lin Yun was getting at.

“Are you suggesting that the thing that doesn’t belong hasn’t shown up yet, or that it has shown up, but it’s incomplete?”

Lin Yun nodded. It wasn’t so easy to escape from the Kingdom of Nightmares. Earlier, he had read all the books in the entire decaying library for 10 years, and didn’t find what didn’t belong until the last book. That was the law.

Even if Lin Yun had known the location of the last book, and opened it in advance, he wouldn’t have found anything that didn’t belong.

There were even more possibilities in this alchemy lab. Who knew how much stuff had been created here?

Agalon didn’t waste any of his time. He recalled what he did, and began to redo the experiment.

The experiment was a simple one that was meant to test the Roosevelt Equation. At the end of the experiment, he would receive complex materials.

The experiment was quite simple, yet Agalon made a lot of mistakes repeatedly. He was only replaying what had happened to him during the experiment back then.

Watching Agalon’s operations, Lin Yun couldn’t help but find him admirable, not just because Agalon was still able to redo the experiment, but because he could repeat the same mistakes.

Agalon, as a Great Mage, was able to conduct an alchemy experiment that only the Master Alchemists were able to, with shabby devices that were like garbage.

Not all powerful mages were powerful alchemists, but all powerful alchemists were powerful mages. That was the truth.

Many of an alchemist’s abilities depended on their capabilities as a mage. Without that, it would be impossible for him to improve as an alchemist. There had never been any exception.

A Great Mage couldn’t possibly be a Master Alchemist, because they didn’t have the necessary foundation. Lin Yun, for example, couldn’t be a good alchemist until he became strong enough as a mage, even though he knew a lot.

Agalon fumbled through the experiment to test the Roosevelt Equation. As time went by, his experiment became more and more perfect and smooth.

Three months later, his alchemy experiment succeeded. Inside the final bottle, the scorching lava gradually cooled down, and a piece of rock that was the size of a finger was condensed in the lava.

Seeing the rock, Agalon finally put on a smile.

“That’s it. The Andaman Metal I condensed wasn’t as remarkable as this. I was too weak, and the alchemy devices here were too shabby for me to have created such a piece of great Andaman Metal.”

Picking up the metal that looked like a rock, Lin Yun nodded. The Andaman Metal was undoubtedly created by an Artisan. A Great Mage couldn’t possibly be an Artisan. That was the key.

He gave the metal to Agalon, who chanted a spell and invoked a flame. He threw the Andaman Metal into the fire. Soon, as the fire started burning, the entire world seemed to be set ablaze, and it was about to melt.

Looking out of the window, the world was like a cube of ice that slowly thawed. The sky and the earth were melting and dispersing.

Finally, the alchemy lab became gaseous, and gradually disappeared like smoke. The flames were gone, and so was the world.

Reappearing in the boundless void, Agalon regained his original appearance and his strength.

“The remaining four balls of light probably belong to Sir Alonzo and the three deans. When we come out, time flows at a different speed. They might have been trapped there for hundreds of years. You cannot get out until you know the right way.

“We have to go in and inform them of the method to leave the illusionary world. It shouldn’t be hard for them to leave if they know the way,” Lin Yun explained as they looked at the balls of light.

Agalon nodded, and pointed at one of the illusionary worlds. He flew into it and disappeared.

From this perspective, Lin Yun saw how he entered the illusionary world. Agalon’s body shrank until he was so little that he couldn’t be seen. He vanished into the ball of light.

Lin Yun picked another ball of light, and jumped into it.

Soon, in the dark void, Agalon, Alonzo and the three deans of the Starry Sky College all appeared. The rest of the illusionary worlds belonged to vampire ancestors.

Alonzo looked quite angry. He had been rescued by Agalon. He had every reason to be angry. He probably would rather die than be rescued by Agalon.

After everybody was gathered, Lin Yun was ready to take them away, and let the vampire ancestors rot here.

Alonzo gloomily stared at the vampire ancestors’ illusionary worlds. He took out a snake-headed staff, and waved it angrily. An ominous aura disappeared into the illusionary worlds.

Soon, Lin Yun saw countless dense worms on the surface of the illusionary worlds, which quickly filled them up. The bloody and dark illusionary worlds completely fell dark, and exploded one after another. Everything inside disappeared.

It was not until the illusionary world exploded when Lin Yun realized that they were locusts. All the locusts riddled the worlds with holes, and filled them up…

The worlds were destroyed, and the vampire ancestors in them had surely perished…
