The six major mercenary corps had completely collapsed. They were struggling desperately in the sea of fire that the Saruman Snake had set up. The adventurers who were huddled together earlier were now letting out shrill screams. There were flames all around them, and thick smoke was everywhere. Huge meteorites fell from the sky from time to time, leaving deep scars on the Fire Plume Ridge. The entire battlefield looked like the legendary hell …
The entire ground seemed to have been roasted. It was hot and soft when one stepped on it, and it was even bubbling. Within a radius of a hundred meters from the Saruman Snake, there was not a single adventurer alive. Under the destructive flames, the entire peak of the Fire Plume Ridge looked like it was the end of the world.
The Saruman Snake in the flames was like the Grim Reaper from hell. It was waving its indestructible flaming scythe and harvesting the lives of the adventurers continuously.
Looking at this horrifying scene, Argus was sweating profusely.
Time passed by, and that guy called Felic was still squatting there. He had no idea what he was doing. He had set up a mithril crucible on the ground, and was putting in handfuls of herbs. He was boiling them with a sizzling sound, and smelling the thick smell of herbs, Argus really wanted to die. This guy was still in the mood to have a picnic at a time like this!
"Damn it!"
Argus was muttering to himself when he suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura coming from afar. Then, he saw a silver ray of light shooting up into the sky. It was like a silver meteor, and instantly tore apart the red clouds in the sky. The Sword Sage of the Storm, who looked a little haggard just now, suddenly exploded with terrifying power. The silver flames tore apart the red clouds, and fell like lightning. In an instant, it tore a hole in the sky full of flames.
"Too strong …"
Argus was stunned. The power of the Legendary-realm was far beyond his imagination. It was a realm where power was used to the extreme. Just one slash of the sword had made the whole world seem to have quietened down. The brilliant sword light drew a perfect arc in the sky. Amidst the corpses and blood all over the ground, the sword light looked extraordinarily gorgeous …
"Roar —!"
Immediately after, they heard the roar of the Salamander. It was as if thunder had exploded above their heads. In an instant, they could only feel waves of heat rushing towards them. The battlefield was a scene of sand and stones flying. The long tail of the Salamander swept past, bringing with it waves of flames that could destroy the heavens and the earth. Even the Sword Sage of the Storm had no choice but to avoid the sharp edge of the Salamander.
On one side was a Legendary Sword Saint, and on the other side was a Legendary Magical Beast. The battle between them was like the might of the heavens. For a moment, only raging flames and Sword Qi could be seen crisscrossing. Sand and stones filled the sky, causing people to feel faint pain. Red clouds rolled in the sky, making everyone feel suffocated.
This exciting battle had even attracted the attention of the six mercenary corps. They had forgotten to escape and the danger. It was as if they were possessed. They stared blankly at this exciting battle that was hard to come by in a hundred years, especially Sean, who was standing at a distance. He did not even blink as he stared at the Sword Sage of the Storm's every move. Every attack and every dodge of this legendary powerhouse seemed to be opening up a whole new world for him … Argus, who was at the side, was extremely anxious.
Argus, who was at the side, was extremely anxious. He looked at Lin Li in the distance, and then at Sean beside him. At that moment, he was filled with regret. I shouldn't have come to this damned Fire Plume Ridge. Damn it, I'm neither a human nor a ghost now, and I'm even captured by these two fellows who don't know what's good for them. Look at these two fellows, one is having a picnic, and the other is watching the show. Didn't they think that they would die if they delayed any longer?
Needless to say, this black bear was stupid anyway …
But why did that fellow called Felic suddenly become an idiot? Why did he have to have a picnic? What's the use of cooking such a big pot of herbs? Even if you cooked a big pot of Manticore tail, could it poison the Salamander? That's a legendary magical beast. Even if you concocted a more toxic poison, it would probably evaporate in an instant. You're simply courting death …
"Damn it, this can't go on …" Argus looked left and right, and felt that he could not wait any longer. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he did not get to enjoy the picnic, and instead got to wait for a Meteor Shower.
But after looking for a long time, Argus could not even find a gap for escape. The battle between the two legendary powerhouses was too violent. The incomparably violent power almost covered the entire peak of the Fire Plume Ridge. Apart from the small place where he was now, only the mountain corner where the six mercenary corps were squeezed was considered safe.
But even that safe mountain corner was attacked by the Meteor Shower from time to time. The reason why the six mercenary corps could hold on until now was all because of the Elemental Shields that were held up by nearly a hundred mages at the same time. Under the protection of these Elemental Shields, they barely had a chance to catch their breath …
"It's over, it's over …" Argus only felt a headache. The battle between the Salamander and the Sword Sage of the Storm was reaching its climax. He did not know if it was intentional or not, but the Sword Sage of the Storm was constantly retreating, and the direction of his retreat was the only safe place on the mountain top …
"Damn it, I'm done for!" Seeing that the golden flame was getting closer and closer to him, Argus could not hold it in any longer. He turned his head and roared at Lin Li fiercely, "If you want to wait for death, that's your business. Don't drag me down with you!"
"Shut up." Sean was attentively observing the Sword Sage of the Storm's battle style, but he suddenly heard that the fella beside him dared to be disrespectful to Mr. Felic. Without saying a word, he turned around and punched him on the head, causing a huge bump on the spot.
"Argh …" Argus hugged his head. He was in so much pain that even tears were flowing down. When this fella's punch landed, it was like being hit by a stone. It was so painful that Argus's entire body was convulsing.
"Argus, I'll say it again. If you want to live, then cut the crap." Lin Li's voice came from afar, sounding a little impatient. He was busy adjusting the proportions of various potions, and did not have the mood to talk nonsense with Argus. After warning him once, he buried his head again, and continued to adjust the proportions of the potions in the dozens of glass bottles.
"Behave, Mr. Felic will think of a way." Sean clenched his fist, and the crisp sound of his knuckles made Argus's scalp go numb …
"…" Under this naked threat of violence, Argus obediently shut his mouth, but he had already cursed countless times in his heart. Damn it, only an idiot like you would believe that fella has a solution. What solution can he have? He has been cooking soup there for almost half an hour. Just wait and wait. In another two minutes, the Saruman Snake will be here. At that time, he can kill both of you idiots with just a breath. Damn it, poor me. Why couldn't I stay in Alanna? Why did I have to come to the Fire Plume Ridge to seek death …
As time passed, the battle between the Sword Sage of the Storm and the Saruman Snake became more and more intense.
Everyone's heart, including Argus, was hanging by a thread …
The Saruman Snake's body was too monstrous. Not only was it strong, it was also abnormally tough. It could be described as having copper skin and iron bones. Even with the strength of the Sword Sage of the Storm, it was difficult to cause any substantial damage when his Combat Energy was not fully activated. However, the Saruman Snake was different. Its powerful tail and sharp claws were its most powerful weapons. It did not even need to use the power of flames. With just a swipe of its claws, the Sword Sage of the Storm would have no choice but to dodge …
No matter how powerful a Legendary powerhouse was, he was still a mortal. He could not fight against a magical beast of the level of the Saruman Snake with his physical strength. Hence, the only thing the Sword Sage of the Storm could do was to retreat. He retreated again and again, and finally retreated to the only safe place on the mountain top …
"It's over …" Argus' heart sank as he stared at the blazing fire …
When Lin Li stood up from the ground, he still had a tired look on his face.
Ever since he came to Anril, he had never been as busy as he was today. Even when he was in the Emerald Tower, preparing all kinds of emergency potions for Gerian in one night, he was not as tired as he was now. After all, those were common potions, and the highest level of the formula was only high-level.
But today, every single one of the dozen bottles was a high-grade formula.
There was even a bottle of Master's formula …
As a result, even a lazy person like Lin Li picked up the Mithril Crucible today. He did not dare to continue using magic skills to slack off.
"I hope this thing works, or else I'll be in big trouble …" Lin Li muttered as he bent down and put the dozen glass bottles into his pocket one by one, causing the Robe of the Void to bulge.
Then, he heard a hurried recitation of a spell, and a Levitation Spell was released.
Argus looked at Lin Li, who was flying higher and higher. He was completely dumbfounded. He could not understand what this fella was trying to do, because he clearly saw that the direction this fella was flying in was actually the center of this Flame Storm!
This, this, this … Could this be the legendary 'courting death'?
Argus stared blankly …
As Lin Li flew higher and higher, a few sharp-eyed adventurers from the six mercenary corps suddenly noticed his figure.
"What the hell …" Serena had lost half of the Silver Storm, and was in a frenzy of heartache when she suddenly saw a familiar figure flying across the sky. For a moment, Serena even forgot about her heartache, and looked at the sky with a blank expression. She was like a wooden puppet, frozen in place.
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me … That … That looks like … Mr Felic?" Aragon's mouth was wide open. He looked at the sky as if he had seen a flying dinosaur.
"Oh my god …" The two archers from the Red Dragon Mercenary Corps also noticed the flying figure in the sky at the same time. The two unlucky fellows who failed to rob the mine looked at each other in disbelief. They could not believe that they had robbed such a person …
Not to mention the two adventurers who were close to level-10, even two children who were not even 10 years old knew what it meant for a mortal to be able to fly in the sky. It meant that he had at least the strength of an Archmage!
"We actually robbed an Archmage …" At the thought of the scene in the forest that day, both of them almost fell to the ground at the same time …
"Illusion! This must be an illusion! " Serena could not believe that this low-level warrior who looked like he did not know what was good for him and ran around with a crossbow on his back all day actually had the strength of an Archmage. "That's right, that's right, this must be an illusion. This fella must have cheated!"
Hank, who was hiding at the side, secretly twitched his mouth. He just did not dare to tell them …
After witnessing the miracles of this young mage time and time again, Hank was already completely numb. Not to mention that he could fly, Hank would not be surprised even if he could spit fire.
As Lin Li flew higher and higher in the sky, more and more people noticed him.
At first, it was just a small group of whispers, but as time passed, the entire six mercenary corps and hundreds of adventurers all discovered the flying figure in the sky. All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion. No one knew where this fellow, who was at least at the level of an Archmage, had come from.
Elijah secretly touched his nose, and his expression revealed an unconcealable smugness.
"I'm simply too wise …" Elijah praised himself shamelessly.
Come to think of it, ever since the misunderstanding in the Nightmare Mountains, he had never offended this young mage. Even when he accidentally ran into the Guild of Magic and was caught red-handed by Lin Li, he simply admitted his mistake and apologized. He never had the slightest thought of resisting.
At this moment, Elijah felt extremely lucky.
Lucky that he did not have any thoughts of resisting …
That was an Archmage who was not even 20 years old. Not to mention how strong his own strength was, just looking at his current achievements, one could imagine how terrifying the magic mentor behind him was. Looking at the entire Felan Kingdom, who could teach an Archmage who was not even 20 years old?
No matter how he counted, it could only be those few — Andoine, Aldwin, and perhaps that Grimm Burnside from the Pharmacists Guild …
Which of these old monsters were to be trifled with?
Thinking of the consequences of offending them, Elijah felt a cold sweat dripping down his body …
"Captain Elijah, are we going to attack?" Elijah was secretly pleased with himself when an archer suddenly appeared beside him. He had a murderous look on his face as he nocked an arrow. He even used his finger to point at a certain mage in the sky. It seemed like he wanted to ask if he should shoot that fellow down …
"Attack your mother's big watermelon …" Elijah was instantly infuriated. He kicked the fella to the corner of the mountain. What a pig brain. Attack that fella? Do you think a Salamander is not exciting enough?
With the support of the Levitation Spell, Lin Li slowly flew above the battlefield. Looking down from his current position, he could easily see the battle between the two Legendary powerhouses clearly.
The Sword Sage of the Storm was indeed at a disadvantage …
The Salamander's strong body gave it the upper hand in this battle. Unless the Sword Sage of the Storm's Battle Energy was fully unleashed, it would be difficult to cause any substantial damage to it even if it was struck by a sword. However, its long tail and sharp claws made the Sword Sage of the Storm extremely fearful. Just a slight touch from it would cause serious injuries. Not to mention the powerful fire magical element contained in its tail and claws.
It was not easy for the Sword Sage of the Storm to hold on until now …
But it seemed like he could not hold on for much longer. Lin Li was in the air, and had a much clearer grasp of the battle situation than the people of the six mercenary corps. He could see clearly that the Sword Sage of the Storm's footsteps were already a little unstable. This was a sign of exhaustion. The silver flames surrounding the blade of the sword had also gradually dimmed, and were no longer as dazzling as before.
From the time Lin Li used the Levitation Spell to flying above the battlefield, it had only been less than a minute, and the Sword Sage of the Storm had been forced back by nearly 10 meters. In a battle where both sides were evenly matched, being forced back by the enemy by nearly 10 meters could only mean that the one who was retreating had no strength left to continue.
"I've already concocted the potions. You must not let me down. You must hold on …" Lin Li held a glass bottle in his hand, and his expression was a little nervous. Since these 10 bottles of potions had been concocted, success or failure would depend on whether the Sword Sage of the Storm could fight for this opportunity for him.
"Aragon …" Serena frowned and looked at him for a long time. She could not figure out what that fella was trying to do by flying into the sky. At that moment, she could not help but ask her trusted aide beside her doubtfully, "Say, do you think this fella has taken the wrong medicine?"
"I don't know either …" Aragon shook his head, and his face showed signs of worry. "But, Mr Felic seems to be a little too rash …"
Aragon's words were actually very polite. With Lin Li's current situation, at least nine out of ten people would spit on his face and scold, "Courting death!"
Even if he was an Archmage, there was no need to be so arrogant, right?
One had to know that the two entangled in the sky were a legendary magical beast and a legendary Sword Sage. Even an Archmage would not have it easy if they were to be involved in such a whirlpool. Not to mention the Salamander's destructive fire element magic, even if it was the Sword Qi of the Sword Sage of the Storm, once it was unleashed, would an Archmage be able to guarantee that he would not be accidentally injured?
"Nonsense …" Serena glanced at the figure floating in the sky and cursed bitterly, "There's no need for you to say that. This guy has always been reckless. There's nothing strange about it. What I'm asking is, can you tell what he's trying to do?"
Aragon's face was blank. "I can't tell …"
"I guess …" At this moment, Hank, who had been hiding behind the rock, suddenly said very softly, "I guess … I guess Mr Felic wants to help."
"Help?" Serena snorted. "With just him?"
"This …" Aragon touched his nose, and did not say anything. But from the expression on his face, it was obvious that he did not really believe that this Mr Felic could really be of any help.
