Chapter 349: Chapter 127: Horrifyingly Powerful! Lord Lynch

[Short-Range Phase Teleport]!

In the next instant, Lynch’s figure reappeared about fifty meters behind Jack. He even had the leisure to adjust his stance.

By then, he was already holding the [Evil Magic Codex] in his left hand.

Jack’s attack missed, and he was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly tried to slam on the brakes to halt his charge.

However, before he could check his momentum, Lynch’s calm voice suddenly came from behind him.

"The first move."

Jack’s heart skipped a beat.

His extensive combat experience made him instinctively wrench his body around. He then pushed off, wanting to charge again.

However, the moment he turned, the [Evil Magic Codex] in Lynch’s left hand suddenly flipped open a page.

A dark light flashed from the corresponding Magic Book Page.

A ghostly stream of shadow energy shot out in an instant, sinking into Jack’s body at extreme speed.

[True Weakness Curse], instant cast!

"Urghhh~!"

A wave of weakness instantly swept over Jack’s entire body.

This weakness wasn’t just physical; even his soul felt frail and weary.

The combat qi that had been surging relentlessly through his body felt as if fifty to sixty percent of it had been drained in an instant. The flow of qi became sluggish and difficult, his muscles grew slack and weak, and he found them hard to command. A sore, limp feeling spread from his limbs and bones, and even the Longsword in his hand felt heavier.

The feeling was like he’d been drained by ten succubi all night long, leaving his body completely hollowed out.

His second charge, which he had been building up, immediately became limp and powerless. His speed plummeted, his form faltered, and he staggered on his feet.

"The second move." Lynch’s voice was still steady.

He had already raised the [Raven Staff] in his right hand.

As the chanting of a profound and cryptic incantation began, a dark light gathered at the tip of the staff, and a scarlet beam of cursed light shot out at extreme speed.

[True Pain Curse]!

"Hngh~~ ahhh~"

Jack was already being tormented to death’s door by the Weakness Curse, and the Pain Curse that immediately followed made both his body and soul scream in agony.

His skin felt more than ten times as sensitive; even a passing breeze felt like a knife scraping against him.

But even so, he still fought through the pain and charged up to Lynch, raising his sword to strike.

When fighting a Mage, if you can’t get close, you might as well just surrender.

"The third move."

The Evil Magic Codex in Lynch’s hand flipped to the next page on its own, without any wind.

A formless, intangible spell that directly affected the soul activated instantly!

[True Soul Lash]!

CRACK!

It was as if a red-hot iron whip had viciously lashed Jack’s soul. It wasn’t just excruciating pain; there was also a mental shock and a dizzying sensation!

"Ah!"

Jack could finally no longer control himself and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

His entire body trembled violently as if struck by lightning. His vision went black, and he nearly lost consciousness and collapsed on the spot.

The willpower he relied on to stand and hold his sword suffered a heavy blow in that moment.

His knees buckled, and he nearly fell, only managing to steady himself on one knee by using his Longsword for support.

From Jack’s shameless charge, to Lynch’s teleportation escape, to the [Evil Magic Codex]’s instant Weakness Curse, followed by his own chanted Pain Curse, and then the Codex’s instant Soul Lash—the entire process took only a few short seconds.

The sidelines were deathly silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jack, the Tier Three Warrior who had just made his move, was now pale and drenched in sweat. Where was the imposing air of a Tier Three Warrior?

And just six or seven meters away, the young Lord hadn’t even really moved his feet. He had merely waved his Magic Staff and flipped a few pages of his book.

Three moves.

Just three moves.

A "pure Mage" who didn’t use summons had, with such casual ease, reduced a Tier Three melee Warrior giving his all into this sorry state.

"This... is this the Lord’s true strength?" Cam Leisuo swallowed hard.

Unconsciously, the awe in his gaze toward Lynch was now mixed with a hint of terror.

It turned out that, even without his terrifying Undead Army, the Lord himself was such a fearsome Caster!

Whether it was Lord Lynch’s instantaneous teleport to dodge, or that seamlessly linked, terrifyingly powerful curse combo... they were all extremely potent killing moves.

Forget Jack; he wasn’t confident he could counter them either.

On the other side, seeing that Jack had lost the ability to fight, Lynch did not press his attack.

He waved his hand, dispelling the dark light at the tip of his Magic Staff, and nodded in satisfaction.

’It seems my judgment was correct. Using the [Raven Staff]’s displacement skill and the [Evil Magic Codex]’s instant-cast opener can severely limit an opponent’s mobility and burst power.’

’The follow-up curse combo, stacking control and damage, is also remarkably effective.’

Lynch made a mental assessment. ’It seems that with the right tactics and skill combinations, even without relying on summons, I have the ability to quickly control and even defeat a High Tier Warrior in a one-on-one fight. Of course, a real combat situation would be more complex. The enemy might have resistance gear or other ways to counter my abilities. But at least, even without the Undead Army, I’m no longer a squishy target with no way to fight back.’

’And I haven’t even used the rest of the Magic in the [Evil Magic Codex].’

’There was no chance to show off the effects of the Profound Yin Body Refining Spell, either.’

’Looks like my opponent was just too weak.’

Lynch looked at Jack and said flatly, "Can you still move? If you can, go get your ten lashes."

"Th-thank you, my Lord... for showing mercy." Jack’s voice was a bit hoarse from weakness, but he didn’t try to make any excuses for himself. He just struggled to his feet and staggered toward the provost marshal to receive his lashes.

"Anyone else want to try?"

Lynch scanned his surroundings, his gaze landing on Hans and Baal, who had been the most restless earlier, as well as the only Tier Four guard, Cam Leisuo.

However, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads and avoided his gaze, including Cam Leisuo.

Unconsciously, the awe everyone felt for Lynch had completely transformed.
