More than a dozen pearls around Yang Mu's neck shattered one after another, while Allen's strength rapidly soared.

Dueling Shackles only affected the Floating Skull and its target; the other Undead Servants were unaffected. Since the Floating Skull was beside Yang Mu, the only way to kill it and lift the Dueling Shackles was to get past Allen.

The Floating Skull let out a cackling laugh. Black shadows appeared beneath Eudora and Allen's feet, immediately slowing Eudora down. At the same time, countless chains and hands formed from Black Shadows tried to seize her.

Eudora wanted to escape the shadows' range, but the merchant ship was only so large. Even if it was larger than a warship, how much larger could it be? The Floating Skull cast Shadow Binding several times in succession. Unless Eudora jumped overboard, there was no way she could escape its effects.

She had only been evenly matched with Allen after he received all those enhancement spells, and now Yang Mu and the Floating Skull were freely pouring firepower onto her.

She was soon in grave danger. Yang Mu had swept Seaside Cottage clean of extraordinary materials, and he had had two whole months—especially the latter month, when he had practically nothing to do. What else could he do but craft all kinds of magic items?

He now wore a necklace of dozens of Black Pearls around his neck, each containing various enhancement spells. On his left wrist was a bracelet of twenty pearls, all filled with defensive magic.

The pearl bracelet on his right wrist was filled entirely with offensive magic, as were the gems embedded in his staff. Rings covered all ten of his fingers, and each ring contained a powerful composite spell with power comparable to First Order magic.

This was how a rich Mage fought. My whole body is covered in magic items. I don't even need to use my own mental power to beat you. Are you scared yet?

And that was not all. What the Wish Compass had guided him to was precisely what Yang Mu wanted most: materials for a Spellbook, enough for no fewer than ten pages.

A Spellbook was the core magic item of Mages. Like a staff, it could amplify the spells cast through it.

It could also store pre-recorded spells, making it nearly equivalent to magic scrolls. They cost nothing to activate and could instantly cast the recorded spells. Its amplification could even stack with that of a staff.

Spellbook pages would not be consumed when casting recorded spells, making them equivalent to permanent spell scrolls. Since a Spellbook had to be bound to a Mage's soul, it was itself a soul-bound piece of equipment.

In his previous life, Yang Mu's Spellbook had been crafted and strengthened from countless precious materials, including World Tree bark and Void Dragon hide. It had over a thousand pages, each capable of bearing Sixth Level magic, and amplified spells by more than 300%.

With a Spellbook alone, Yang Mu could flatten countless worlds. Why were Mages called Mages? What was a spell artillery platform? That was a true spell artillery platform.

Unfortunately, he could only use magic items with little amplification now. Even so, he still possessed the spell reserves a Mage ought to have. The magic items he carried were enough to blast Eudora to death.

Was challenging above one's level difficult? Any prepared Mage could do it.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.

One magic item after another shattered on Yang Mu's body, while wounds continued to accumulate across Eudora's body.

Then Yang Mu activated his first composite spell: Light Devouring Dark Vortex.

It was a spell created by combining light-element focusing magic with dark-element collapse magic.

It formed a black-and-white energy sphere that instantly absorbed elemental energy within a certain radius before exploding.

Terrifying light and dark energy engulfed the battling Eudora and Allen. When the light faded, Eudora's armor had shattered, vast portions of flesh were missing from her body, and even the intact areas were charred black as though burned by fire.

Even Allen, who had not been the attack's target, was in a miserable state. Eighty percent of his skin and fur had vanished, exposing the mechanical structure beneath.

Yang Mu was not a professional Mechanical Mage, so the structure was extremely crude. The fusion of flesh and machinery was also stiff and rough.

At the beginning of his rise, Yang Mu's own experiments had consumed too much. To ensure his Undead Servants' combat strength, he had no choice but to use relatively cheap steel to strengthen them. Thus, he had studied occult mechanics for a time.

Several thousand years had passed, so it was inevitable that his craftsmanship had grown rusty. As the first specimen, Allen's mechanical structure was naturally crude.

But crude or not, it was still a mechanical structure. So long as its core had not been destroyed, Allen could still rise under the machinery's power, even though the flesh portions had temporarily lost mobility due to the corrosion of Holy Light.

Eudora braced herself on her sword and watched Allen stand up. Despair had already appeared in her eyes. The energy within her body had dispersed, leaving her with no strength to resist.

Allen silently walked to her side, seized her slender neck, and lifted her up.

Eudora exhausted the last of her strength to slash out with her sword, leaving a gash in Allen's chest, but that was all.

Allen's hand tightened, then twisted hard. The princess of the Dutch Royal Family met her end there.

But at the moment of her death, a beam of Holy Light appeared in the sky and shone upon her corpse. A pure soul flew from her body, clearly intending to follow the Holy Light away.

"Hmph!"

Yang Mu watched the scene and snorted heavily. I spent so much effort and used who knows how many magic items to finally kill this woman, and now you come out to snatch my food? Who do you think you are?

With a tap of his staff, Flame of Annihilation shot forth, charging directly into the Holy Light. It wrapped around Eudora's soul and burned it into nothingness before returning to Yang Mu's body.

Yang Mu's actions seemed to draw the attention of some being behind the Holy Light. It glanced at Yang Mu, and Yang Mu merely returned the look coldly.

What are you looking at? If you have the guts, come down here and fight me.

Did a high-energy entity want to descend upon the Material Plane? Hmph. It was not that Yang Mu looked down on it—it truly lacked that ability.

At most, it could send down a projection or some power. Those were merely firewood, and Yang Mu naturally had nothing to fear.

After Eudora's soul was burned away, the Holy Light gradually faded as well. Yang Mu then stored her corpse, and his mental power directly leapt to 8.1. He was no longer far from the 10 points needed to break through to Official Mage.
