Almost at the same time, the surrounding Nether Storm also surged over, and silently collided with each other, forming an even larger Nether Storm that engulfed Lin Li and the others, as well as the entire tower. When the massive Nether Storm left the inverted tower, Lin Li and the others were no longer in front of the tightly shut door of the tower.
"That was … That was close!" Archbishop Martin exclaimed while wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. There was still some lingering fear on his face. He was almost doomed just now, but he didn't expect the surrounding scenery to suddenly change at the last moment. When his vision became clear again, he realized that he was already in another place.
"Where is this place? Is this the inside of that tower?" Donald couldn't help but blush at the thought of how he had lost his composure just now. After confirming the surrounding situation, he hurriedly tried to change the topic. Of course, he was actually thinking too much. At this moment, everyone, including Lin Li, had already focused their attention on the surrounding scenery.
The space was very spacious, but it did not seem empty, because the entire hall was filled with rows of bookshelves that were neatly filled with various magic books. Yes, it was just like a huge library that was spacious and bright at the same time extremely quiet. It was so quiet that they even subconsciously slowed down their breathing.
"Oh my God, could this be the royal library of the High Elves!?"
After seeing the surrounding scenery clearly, everyone couldn't help but exclaim softly. Although the era when the High Elves ruled Anril was known as the Dark Age, it was also the most brilliant era of the development of magic civilization in Anril. This was the Sky Castle of the Immortal King, and the Immortal King was the driving force behind the development of the High Elves. Hence, no one would believe that the magic books here had nothing to do with the High Elves.
"No, the magic books here don't belong to the High Elves, but to humans!" Lin Li said as he took a few steps towards the nearest bookshelf. Although he didn't rashly touch the magic books on the bookshelf, he could see human words written on the covers of the books.
"What? Belong to humans? How is that possible!? "As soon as they heard Lin Li's words, the others immediately followed.
During the Dark Age, although the High Elves did not explicitly prohibit humans from learning magic, they definitely wouldn't write any magic books for humans. In the Dark Age, if humans wanted to learn magic, they could only learn it through word of mouth and develop magic that belonged to humans on a small scale. Therefore, in that era, almost every human Mage had a magic notebook that belonged only to them, and they treated the notebook as if it was their life.
Lin Li was surprised at first, but when he remembered that the key belonged to Geresco, he found it easier to accept the large number of magic books in front of him. Geresco was known as the God of Mages by humans, and he had always been committed to the development of human magic civilization. Therefore, it was not impossible to say that the magic books here belonged to him.
However, Lin Li could not guess why these magic books were not taken out, and were instead left here. It had been more than 1300 years since the end of the Dark Age. If humans had gotten their hands on these magic books earlier, how far would their magic civilization have progressed?
However, no matter what, since Geresco had left the magic books here, and he had the key left behind by Geresco, Lin Li didn't have to stand on ceremony now.
However, just as Lin Li was about to put away the magic books in the hall, all of them suddenly flew down from the bookshelves. All of the books projected a ray of light, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the hall.
It was the figure of a mage dressed in a black robe. When Lin Li saw the figure clearly, he was so shocked that his brain went blank, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "G- Geresco!"
Indeed, the figure of the mage in the black robe that appeared in the air was the God of Mages Geresco that Lin Li had seen through the Spacetime Beacon Spell in Tutankhamun. The Spacetime Beacon Spell was a type of time reversal, and Lin Li was almost as if he had seen Geresco with his own eyes.
Of course, Lin Li quickly realized that the person in front of him was not the real Geresco, but a shadow that Geresco had left behind.
However, even if it was just a shadow of Geresco, it was definitely scary enough. Geresco was a powerful existence in the history of Anril that was not inferior to the Immortal King. Lin Li had already experienced how powerful the Immortal King's shadow was. How could Geresco's shadow be any weaker?
The people behind Lin Li had also guessed the identity of the figure standing opposite Lin Li based on the information in their memories. Immediately, their expressions became extremely interesting. They had seen Highlord Osric and the Immortal King's shadow previously, but they didn't expect to see Geresco's shadow here. These three famous figures in the history of Anril were not people that ordinary people could meet. They really didn't know if they were lucky or not to be able to see all three of them at once.
At this moment, Geresco's shadow suddenly moved. With just a wave of his hand, everyone's vision became blurry. When everyone's vision was restored, Geresco's shadow and Lin Li's shadow had already disappeared from the hall. The countless magic books had also disappeared, leaving only the spacious hall and rows of empty bookshelves.
At this moment, Lin Li saw another scene. The hall was still the same hall, and Geresco's shadow was still standing opposite him silently. However, the people behind him had already disappeared. In fact, Lin Li couldn't even sense the existence of Connoris and the two Undead servants even with his mental strength.
In the eyes of Archbishop Martin and the others, Geresco's shadow had taken Lin Li away. In the eyes of Lin Li, Geresco's shadow had moved Archbishop Martin and the others away, leaving him alone. The only thing that was similar was the environment around them. It was still the same hall that looked like a library, but in fact, it was as if they existed in different spaces.
"Geresco?" Although Lin Li had already recognized him, he still tried to sound him out.
Geresco's shadow hadn't said a word since he appeared, and he looked very serious too. That made Lin Li's heart pound. Although Lin Li had guessed that Geresco would not do anything disadvantageous to him since he had left him an important mission, nothing was absolute. How could the thoughts of such a mythical figure be so easily guessed?
Indeed, Geresco's incarnation ignored Lin Li's words, and after glancing at Lin Li coolly, he suddenly waved the staff in his hand and attacked Lin Li without any warning. As the staff was waved, countless bolts of lightning surged out of the space around the shadow, and they were like sharp arrows that were locked onto Lin Li's position.
"Damn! Aren't you even going to greet me!? " Lin Li was immediately shocked. Back then, the Immortal King's incarnation had at least said a few words before starting the fight. Why did Geresco's incarnation attack without saying anything?
However, no matter how much he cursed in his heart, it was useless. Fortunately, Lin Li's reaction was not slow, and he hurriedly opened the Domain World that was formed by the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. In the Domain World, a strong defense continuously condensed in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, there were thousands of defenses.
In fact, Lin Li was somewhat glad that Geresco's incarnation was much weaker than the Immortal King's incarnation in terms of strength. It was probably only level-25. Lin Li was already level-26, and the strength of this incarnation was even inferior to his.
Although level did not mean everything, Lin Li was a person who was good at challenging opponents of a higher level. Ever since he came to Anril, he had always defeated opponents of a higher level in every battle he had experienced. Hence, although Lin Li was a little surprised by the sudden attack of Geresco's incarnation, he wasn't too afraid.
Of course, Lin Li knew that the strength of Geresco's incarnation was not something that ordinary powerhouses of the Sanctuary-realm could contend with. However, he had the seven pieces of the debris of the stars that had become level-26 in his hands. How could an ordinary level-26 Sanctuary powerhouse compare to him?
In particular, Lin Li had just fought with Highlord Osric at the control panel of the Central Tower. Although he was beaten up to the point where he almost couldn't retaliate, he also gained a lot of confidence from it. After all, Osric was a level-27 or level-28 Sanctuary powerhouse.
That was not to say that Lin Li had begun to be arrogant. In fact, he only had the confidence to face Geresco's incarnation. At best, he was not afraid. However, this should not be underestimated. If he could not be timid during a battle, he would be able to exert his strength better. Otherwise, if he were to be timid before the battle, his combat power would definitely be greatly reduced.
Geresco's incarnation launched his strongest attack. Thousands of Thunderbolt Arrows filled the entire space like a torrent of lightning that engulfed everything. They instantly drowned Lin Li and his Domain World. Every Thunderbolt Arrow contained a terrifying aura of destruction that destroyed everything in its way. Even the stars would fall.
In Lin Li's Domain World, it was also a scene that seemed like the end of the world. The sky was torn apart by the Thunderbolt Arrows mercilessly, and the mountains and earth collapsed amidst the roars. The dense cracks in the space made the entire Domain World look like a mirror that had been smashed.
However, in the face of such a situation, Lin Li did not seem to panic at all. His mental strength channeled into the seven pieces of the debris of the stars that were hidden in the space, and the colorful rays of light immediately shone in the Domain World. Under the illumination of the colorful rays of light, the horrifying wounds in the Domain World healed at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Although the endless Thunderbolt Arrows caused waves of turbulence in the colorful rays of light, they were like fish that had fallen into a net, and could not penetrate or explode.
In the previous battles, be it with the Immortal King's incarnation or Highlord Osric, Lin Li's Domain World seemed to be torn apart easily. However, that was not because Lin Li's Domain World was too weak, but because the difference in strength was too great. Strictly speaking, Lin Li was able to defeat the Immortal King's incarnation and the resurrected Osric, but it was not because of his own strength.
If all external factors were disregarded, and Lin Li and the Immortal King's incarnation or the resurrected Osric were placed in the same place for a duel, Lin Li would most likely be the loser. However, Lin Li was facing Geresco's incarnation now, and his strength was only at level-25. Although level did not mean everything, it would still limit the use of power.
No matter how talented a person was at level-25, he would only be able to use the power of level-25. The only difference would be the experience and ingenuity of the use of power. If the power he used exceeded level-25, he would not be at level-25 anymore.
For example, when Lin Li was at level-19, he could already compete with a level-20 Legendary powerhouse. However, he could not really use the nomological power that belonged to a Legendary-mage, and thus could not create a Magical Domain like a Legendary-mage. If he could, he would be a real Legendary-mage, and not a level-19 Archmage.
Geresco's incarnation had already been limited to level-25, so he could not use power above level-25. Hence, he could not be like the Immortal King's incarnation and Osric, who could absolutely suppress and destroy the Domain World of Lin Li, a level-26 Sanctuary Master.
However, just when Lin Li thought that he was temporarily safe after blocking Geresco's attack, he suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation in the space around him. Before Lin Li could react, a giant hand condensed from mana suddenly broke through the space, and grabbed his body tightly in the palm of its hand.
This gave Lin Li a great shock. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse who was close to the gods had a rather fragile body, and would be injured or even killed by a strong attack. Although the soul of a Sanctuary powerhouse was immortal, it would basically be impossible for him to improve his strength if he really lost his original body. Just look at Osric. Even the so-called perfect body could not be compared to his original body.
Lin Li was very satisfied with his current body. It was a body that was full of magical talent, and he would not be willing to exchange it for a perfect body like the Ashen Warlock's.
