The light emitted by the Winter Staff tore apart the night sky in an instant. Boundless magical elements surged, stirring up a terrifying Elemental Storm in the Shadowglen in an instant. Snowflakes covered the sky, and pieces of icicles made sharp whistling sounds in the air. At this moment, it was as if heaven and earth had melted into a snowy white. Amidst the deafening roars, the icicles and snowflakes surged crazily like a tornado, and fiercely collided with the blood-colored bat in the sky …
"Ah —" A scream came from the sky, followed by a huge block of ice falling from the sky and smashing heavily on the ground …
Even a Vampire could not resist the power of a level-12 spell. Although it could not completely destroy this level-18 Undead creature, the strong chill contained in the Iceblast still froze it into an ice cube in an instant.
This was the first time Lin Li used a spell that was above level-12. Even with his strength, he could not help but feel a little tired. The mana of the Iceblast was too difficult to control, and one mistake would result in the bite of mana. At this time, after the Iceblast, Lin Li felt as if all the energy in his body had been sucked out. The Winter Staff was planted on the ground, and the weight of his whole body was on it …
Lin Li knew that the Vampire was a level-18 Undead creature, after all. Even if it was the Iceblast, it would not be able to freeze it for too long. Maybe two seconds, maybe three seconds, of course … it could also be one second …
But it was enough …
Almost at the moment when the ice cube fell, a red shadow had already torn the Dark Sky Curtain.
At this moment, even time seemed to have stopped. The sound of the horse's hooves was like raindrops, hitting hard on everyone's heart. The lingering flames burned brighter, and the indestructible horn emitted a dense chill under the moonlight. The dark red shadow in the night sky was full of an illusory feeling …
The distance was getting closer and closer. From 100 meters to 50 meters, from 50 meters to 5 meters …
Then there was a crisp sound. The sound was like glass shattering, and there was a hint of breaking in the crisp sound.
In the beginning, the sound was very soft, but as the cracks on the ice grew larger, the sound seemed to be ringing in everyone's ears. Finally, with a "boom", the ice completely exploded. Among the ice fragments that flew all over the sky, traces of solidified blood appeared abnormally bright. Countless ice fragments danced in the air, sparkling and translucent under the moonlight.
The surroundings suddenly quietened down. Other than the whistling of the cold wind, there was no other sound.
Everyone stared blankly at this scene. It was like a dream. A Level-18 Vampire, a Level-18 Shapeshifter, a battle between two Level-18 creatures, and that Level-12 Iceblast …
After some time, Mason asked with uncertainty, "It's dead?"
"That's right …" Orrin's voice trembled.
Lin Li did not speak, and merely bent down slowly to pick up the crystal on the ground.
"Eh?" As soon as Lin Li picked up the crystal, he realized that something was amiss. The crystal was still densely covered with strange runes, but the deep red color seemed to have been suddenly sucked away. At this moment, the crystal in his hand was exactly the same as when he had just dug it out. There was not a single trace of impurities on it, and it was clear and transparent like a clear lake.
Just as Lin Li was puzzled, Mason's face suddenly turned pale. His eyes stared straight behind Lin Li, and his expression was as if he had seen a ghost. "Felic, Felic … look!"
"What's wrong …?"
Lin Li looked back in confusion, and saw the Shapeshifter walking towards him. When he turned back, the Shapeshifter also stopped at the same time, and then … it lowered its head slightly!
"F * ck!"
Even as a transmigrator, Lin Li knew what it meant when a magical beast lowered its head to you …
It meant complete submission!
Lin Li rubbed his eyes. He felt that he must have seen wrongly. That was a level-18 Shapeshifter. How could it be tamed by a level-13 Magic Shooter?
Magical beasts could indeed be tamed, but the conditions for taming could be said to be extremely harsh. To tame a magical beast at the level of a Shapeshifter, even Andoine might not be able to do it. It required an absolute advantage in strength, absolute suppression in level, and even something more subtle.
As for himself …
There was a difference of five levels between them. How could he make a level-18 Shapeshifter submit?
But everything in front of him was so real. No matter how Lin Li rubbed his eyes, that level-18 Shapeshifter was still about 10 meters away, with its head slightly lowered. Even the whines that it let out from time to time were filled with taming and flattery. At this moment, it did not look like a level-18 magical beast at all. Instead, it looked like a horse that was put on a leash.
"This is too fake …" Mason's eyes were as big as a cow's eyes as he stared at the Shapeshifter in bewilderment. "Felic, this Shapeshifter is your pet?"
"Can I afford it? I …"
"Too ruthless …" Mason's brain structure had always been different from others. After a few words of praise, he suddenly asked, "How about lending it to me for a few days? Hahaha, if I could ride it around Alanna, that would be really … Wahahahaha! "
"Idiot."
"Damn it, Orrin. I haven't settled the score with you just now, and you're actually provoking me again!"
"Not satisfied?"
As the two of them were arguing, Lin Li suddenly realized that the half-real body of the Shapeshifter seemed to be gradually becoming transparent. This change was not obvious, but it was very clear. As time passed, the dark red color on the Shapeshifter's body also faded bit by bit. In the end, it was completely transparent, just like the crystal in Lin Li's hand.
Then, Lin Li saw that the Shapeshifter, which was slightly lowering its head, turned into countless spots of light in an instant. At the same time, these spots of light seemed to be attracted by some kind of force, and turned into a belt of light in the night sky. Like the black fog in the day, it slowly flowed into the crystal …
Lin Li could clearly see that with every influx of light, the dark red color on the crystal would become a little thicker. When the last bit of light disappeared, the crystal in his hand was no different from when he first entered the Shadowglen.
Putting all these things together, Lin Li gradually guessed something …
The crystal in his hand was definitely not an ordinary crystal.
Lin Li could even be sure that this crystal that was full of strange runes must contain some kind of powerful force. This force was strong enough to seal or imprison the Shapeshifter. That night in the Nightmare Mountains, when the Shapeshifter bumped into him, it must have triggered this force, and was sealed into the crystal in an instant.
In fact, Lin Li had been guessing this all along. Hence, when he described the situation at that time, he always used the word "eat".
And the battle just now had completely confirmed Lin Li's guess. The Shapeshifter appearing and disappearing in the crystal had already proved everything.
But along with this speculation came even more questions …
Lin Li still couldn't understand why there would be a wisp of thick or faint black mist that would surge into the crystal after each Undead creature died. He could not understand why the Shapeshifter would coincidentally appear at that time? Lin Li only subconsciously thought that there must be some connection between the two.
As for what the connection was, Lin Li could not figure it out at all. He could only vaguely guess that the black fog might be the essence of the Undead creature's power …
"I'll figure you out sooner or later!" Lin Li held the crystal tightly, and scolded fiercely.
The strong power of the crystal really made Lin Li's heart itch.
To be able to seal a level-18 magical beast in an instant and summon it to aid in battle when necessary — just the thought of such power was enough to make one go crazy!
Furthermore, the power that it had displayed so far was only the tip of the iceberg. No one knew where the limits of this piece of crystal lay. If it could seal a level-18 magical beast, what about level-19, 20, or even those above level-20?
All kinds of guesses were lingering in Lin Li's mind. Yet, no matter how much he studied it, he could not figure out how to use this power. To Lin Li, who had always liked to be stuck in a dead end, this was an incomparably painful torture.
Lin Li held the crystal tightly, and studied it for more than half an hour …
Since the appearance of the Shapeshifter, the temperature on the crystal that could scald people seemed to have disappeared. At this time, when he held it in his hand, it only felt cold, unlike before when it felt like he was being burned by a soldering iron. But, no matter how much he studied it, he could not figure it out in the end. Depressed, he could only put the crystal back into his pocket, hoping that he could find something new in the upcoming trial mission …
