The King of the Wolves had gone completely insane under the influence of the Frenzy.
He was like a bolt of pale lightning as he leaped into the midst of the pack of wolves. One by one, the Three-eyed Blood Wolves were torn into pieces. Amidst the flowing blood, there were mangled limbs and squirming organs. The frenzied massacre had turned the tranquil clearing into a horrifying Shura slaughterhouse.
It was a complete massacre. None of the Three-eyed Blood Wolves dared to resist the enraged Wolf King. The pale lightning flashed through the pack of wolves, leaving only fresh blood on the ground. The Wolf King's grayish-white fur was stained with fresh blood, and its single eye was filled with madness and bloodlust.
Lin Li finally heaved a sigh of relief after he was done. The success of the three spells had almost sentenced the Alpha Wolf to death. The duration of the Insanity spell was at least 15 seconds. With these 15 seconds, Orrin and Mason would have enough time to recite level-10 spells.
But when he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked back, he realized that the two fellas were staring at him in a daze. They had even forgotten to recite their spells.
"F * ck, what are you two doing?"
"Oh, oh …" Lin Li's roar jolted the two out of their daze. They quickly grabbed their magic staffs, and began another long recitation.
Lin Li calculated the duration of the Frenzy, and heaved a sigh of relief. There were about 10 seconds left, which should be enough for them to complete the spell. "Aren't you afraid that the bite of mana will kill you if you're spacing out now …?"
Just as Lin Li finished his complaint, the two finished their recitation almost at the same time.
One was Flaming Storm, and the other was Frost Spear.
The two level-eight spells, one ice and one fire, stirred up violent elemental waves in the forest. Dazzling flames and bone-chilling air filled the air in an instant. Countless fire dragons roared, and a cold blue light tore through the air like lightning …
"Kaboom!" A loud sound reverberated in the forest for a long time. Even the earth seemed to be trembling under the violent surge of magical elements. Countless sparks splashed out like gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. Almost at the same time, a faint blue light pierced the body of the King of Wolves like a bolt of lightning.
"Argh!" The howl of the King of the Wolves was filled with endless despair.
But the moment the howl was heard, the Wolf King was strangled by the two level-eight spells. What followed was a loud bang, and everything returned to normal.
The destructive power of the two most powerful spells below level-10 could only be described as terrifying. Not to mention the King of the Wolves was only level-12, even if it was level-13 or level-14, as long as it had not reached level-15, it would not be able to escape the fate of being killed by the two spells.
In the remaining light, Lin Li could clearly see that the place where the Alpha Wolf used to be was left with a piece of black charcoal, and in the middle of the charcoal, there was still a slightly swaying Frost Spear stuck in it …
All the Three-eyed Blood Wolves were stunned. The death of the King of the Wolves had caused them to sink into complete fear. This was their innate nature. A pack of wolves that had lost their Wolf King would never be able to challenge anyone else. Moreover, these three humans were monsters that had killed the Wolf King in an instant. Facing them, almost all the Three-eyed Blood Wolves chose to retreat.
The pack of wolves that had surged out like a tidal wave retreated like the tide.
"Phew …" When the last Three-eyed Blood Wolf retreated from the forest, Lin Li finally heaved a long sigh of relief. He took a few steps forward, but suddenly felt a wave of weakness in his legs. Then, he fell to the ground weakly.
The crazy consumption earlier was too torturous. Even with Lin Li's strong mental strength, he felt like he had exceeded his limits. First, he had reduced the recitation time of a level-four spell by almost half. Then, he had instantly released two level-two spells and a level-three spell. This almost suicidal spellcasting left him on the brink of being devoured by mana …
Lin Li felt like he was a bowstring that had been pulled back, and his nerves were constantly stretched taut. When the dust settled, the bowstring was suddenly released. Then, his whole body was like a deflated balloon, and he fell to the ground weakly …
"Felic, how are you?" Mason ran over with a concerned look on his face as soon as he saw that something was wrong with him.
"Nothing … I was too tired just now. I'll be fine after some rest." Lin Li smiled and shook his head, but there was a trace of weakness in his smile.
Mason was still worried, and asked again, "Do you want to go out first and look for the old man to take a look at you?"
"Idiot." Orrin was like a ghost. Every time Mason said something stupid, he would appear behind him without warning.
"Bastard …" Mason was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"Not convinced?"
"I'll beat you up sooner or later!"
"Idiot …" Orrin looked at him, and squatted in front of Lin Li. His usually expressionless face revealed a rare look of concern. "Take a rest first. Leave the search to the two of us."
A level-11 Magic Shooter's judgment was naturally much better than a level-9 mage's. Seeing the cold sweat on his roommate's forehead, Orrin knew that he was tired. The few difficult spellcasting just now had almost exceeded the limits of a Magic Shooter. If he was not tired after that, then Orrin really did not know how to describe his roommate …
Fortunately … this fella still knew how to be tired. This at least showed that he was still a human.
"Hmm." Lin Li nodded, and took out the abstract map from his pocket. After passing it to Orrin, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes tiredly. He was indeed a little tired. No matter how strong his mental strength was, he finally could not support himself anymore after exceeding his limits again and again.
The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away, and the surrounding was frighteningly quiet. Apart from the cold wind blowing, there was only the sound of their own hearts. There were wolf corpses everywhere, and blood was flowing everywhere. The thick smell of blood seemed to solidify in the air, but Lin Li did not seem to notice it at all. He closed his eyes and leaned against the tree softly, looking like he had fallen asleep …
There was not a trace of strength in his body, but his nerves were still in a state of morbid excitement.
At this time, Lin Li was immersed in a wonderful state.
The previous battle was constantly replaying in his mind. The various spell-casting details seemed to be played in slow motion, appearing extremely clearly. Everything was so clear that even the slightest flow of mana was not missed.
Immersed in this wonderful state, Lin Li could even try to simulate all the spell-casting details over and over again, from the Frost Spell at the beginning to the three Mental Spells that followed. At this time, he did not need to worry about the bite of mana at all, nor did he need to worry about the Three-eyed Blood Wolf that could pounce on him at any time. All he had to do was to try again and again, and feel the flow of mana over and over again.
Almost every attempt would deepen his understanding of magic.
It was a very mysterious feeling, and even Lin Li himself could not tell what he had learned from the repeated attempts. However, he knew that he was getting closer and closer to the door that was tightly shut.
At this moment, time seemed to have lost its meaning.
Lin Li just sat there quietly, absorbing the benefits that the battle had brought him at an unparalleled speed. As time passed, Lin Li seemed to feel that the tightly shut door was getting closer and closer to him …
When he finally stood in front of the door, everything became so simple. Lin Li only did one thing, and that was to reach out his hand and give the door a gentle push …
Then, he only felt that everything before him was clear.
"Old Grimm was right …" Lin Li stood up from the ground with a smile on his face. There was no longer a trace of fatigue on his face. The smile brought about by the battle just now seemed to have been replenished in an instant. At this moment, he looked full of energy again.
All this was because he had just completed another breakthrough at that moment.
After staying at the peak of level-12 for a long time, he finally successfully climbed up to level-13 after this battle.
Lin Li clearly remembered that when he was still in Jarrosus, Old Grimm had once told him that the fastest way to increase the level of magic was to fight — non-stop fighting.
In the words of this Legendary-mage, a large amount of research and practice was merely an accumulation. The real breakthrough and epiphany could only be sought in the midst of life and death. Only after experiencing the struggle between life and death would one have the chance to climb to the peak of magic.
Under the pressure of death, the continuous and extreme spell-casting had always kept Lin Li on the edge of life and death. At the same time, it had also led to this epiphany and breakthrough.
