The tragedy that happened 50 years ago shocked the entire Felan Kingdom. That afternoon, the most elite Sky Knights of the Felan Kingdom set off for the Breezy Plains. The order they received was to kill the Ashen Warlock and the demons he summoned at all costs. Almost at the same time, the Ashen Warlock's name was added to the mission files of dozens of Adventurers Guilds. The highest bounty in history of 5,000,000 gold coins attracted countless adventurers as soon as it was revealed.
However, 50 years had passed …
The Ashen Warlock was still living well, and was still living in the small town north of the Breezy Plains. He was still living a quiet and regular rural life, and nothing had changed. It was as if the wrath of the royal family and the bounty from the Adventurers Guild had never happened.
In the small town where the Ashen Warlock lived, no one knew that their neighbor was actually a butcher who had killed thousands of people with a wave of his hand. They only knew that he was a wealthy and eccentric old man who did not like to interact with or talk to people. He would either hide in his house and do strange experiments every day, or sit in the field in a daze …
Only people like Hoffman knew that the prestige of the Felan Kingdom had suffered a devastating blow after that tragedy. The Sky Knights set off for the Breezy Plains that afternoon, and fled back to Alanna in a panic just five days later. They brought a total of 500 Gryphons with them, but less than 100 of them made it back alive. The Sky Knights, who were once at the peak of their power, suffered a great loss during the siege of the Ashen Warlock. It took them a few decades to recover, and they only gradually regained their former glory when Azalez took charge of the Sky Knights.
As for the mission files of the Adventurers Guild, they were terrifyingly neat. All the adventurers who accepted the mission had their names marked with the words "Death, Mission Failure".
The tragedy 50 years ago was truly an earthquake for the Breezy Plains, and the name of the Ashen Warlock spread throughout the entire Breezy Plains. Almost all the leaders of the forces put the Ashen Warlock on the list of dangerous figures immediately after the tragedy. Even the town he lived in became a forbidden place, because the Ashen Warlock had once said that anyone who stepped into the town without an invitation from the residents would be regarded as a provocation.
The current Breezy Plains could be said to be the most chaotic place in the Felan Kingdom. Countless powerful forces were squeezed together, and there were a few large strategic locations. Coupled with the covetous eyes of the Dwarf Kingdom, it would be a fool's dream to establish a foothold there alone. However, 50 years had passed, and no force dared to provoke the Ashen Warlock, because no one knew how serious the consequences would be if they angered this reclusive old man …
To this day, there was no conclusion to how strong the Ashen Warlock was, but there was one thing that was beyond doubt — the President of the Alanna Guild of Magic, the level-21 Legendary-mage Aldwin, had once said that if he were to fight with the Ashen Warlock, he would not even have a 30% chance of winning …
In fact, even the Felan Royal Family had to admit that besieging the Ashen Warlock back then was a truly wrong decision. This decision caused the Felan Royal Family to lose the Sky Knights, as well as the dignity that the royal family should have. However, Hoffman was very clear that even if the Glittergold Trade Union was 10 times richer, they would definitely not dare to provoke that terrifying demon …
In fact, even the Felan Royal Family had to admit that besieging the Ashen Warlock back then was an extremely wrong decision. This decision caused the Felan Royal Family to lose the Sky Knights, and also the dignity that the royal family should have. Hence, in the next few decades, it gave the Ledin Kingdom a chance to rise.
This time, even Hoffman was a little worried …
The disciple of the Ashen Warlock was not a joke!
Among the powerhouses in the entire Felan Kingdom, the Ashen Warlock was undoubtedly the most terrifying!
He was mysterious and powerful, and his personality was even more unflattering. If Macklin were to describe him, this old man would most likely pout and mutter, "Ashen Warlock? Are you referring to that old Felic in the Breezy Plains …? "
Indeed, the personalities of these two people were too similar. It was as if they were carved from the same mold …
The cause of the tragedy back then was just that a few soldiers stationed at the border of Felan had accidentally trampled the Ashen Warlock's dog to death while marching. This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The Ashen Warlock went straight to Paladin, and found the commander of the border troops stationed there at that time. He wanted to seek justice for his dog no matter what. At that time, the commander of the border troops was the uncle of the current king. Why would the prince, who had always been arrogant and domineering, care about who the Ashen Warlock was? Due to a disagreement, the Ashen Warlock summoned a Hellfire on the spot, and flattened half of the military camp. This time, the matter was blown out of proportion. Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed into the town, and arrested everyone in the town, threatening them to hand over the damned murderer.
In the end …
The Ashen Warlock opened the Gates of the Abyss, and summoned a high-level demon. In just one night, he had reaped the lives of thousands of people.
In Hoffman's opinion, it was better not to provoke such a psychopathic guy …
Just as Hoffman's face turned pale, the situation in the Aurora Square changed again.
Although Lin Li's Pyroblast was swallowed out of thin air, his rhythm of casting spells was not messed up at all. The moment Matthias walked out of the flames, Lin Li had already propped up an Elemental Shield, followed by a Mental Protection Field. Without hesitation, he switched from offense to defense. His decisiveness left everyone dumbfounded …
It was easy to switch from offense to defense, but it definitely required courage to switch from offense to defense when one had the upper hand. Everyone knew that Matthias was strange, but who would be willing to give up the advantage that was already in their hands?
However, Lin Li had a different thought …
A direct hit from a Pyroblast, yet Matthias was unscathed. At this moment, Lin Li had already realized that he did not have any advantage at all. Even if he could take advantage of Matthias' unprepared moment to blast out another Pyroblast, so what? It would still not be able to cause any damage to him. Before he found the crux of the problem, it would be meaningless no matter how many Pyroblasts were blasted out. This seemed like a big advantage, but it was actually nothing at all …
Moreover, Lin Li had always felt that Matthias was not too normal. His smile was too strange, and he was too confident. Now that he was unscathed from a Pyroblast, he might come up with some powerful means to deal with Lin Li. It was better to be more careful in the last battle …
"Boom …" As expected, just as Lin Li had set up the Mental Protection Field, a loud sound came from beside him.
A huge fireball descended from the sky. It looked like a huge meteorite. In an instant, everyone could only feel the earth shaking. The rumbling sound was like thunder. Countless sparks flew, and instantly engulfed Lin Li's figure completely. If it wasn't for the layer of Elemental Shield that he had just put up, Lin Li would have already been burnt into a pile of ashes.
"F * ck, Hellfire!" In an instant, exclamations could be heard from the spectator seats.
That's right, this was the Flame Giant from the Abyss — Hellfire!
After the meteorite crashed into the Aurora Square and created a dazzling spark, the magical elements did not disperse. Instead, they became even more violent. At the same time when the exclamations came from the spectator seats, that huge fireball had already shown a strange distortion. Following that, there was a violent tremor, and the fireball instantly turned into a Flame Giant that was close to 10 meters tall.
"What the hell …" Even with Lin Li's abilities, he could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he suddenly saw this Flame Giant that came from the Abyss. This was a monster that had at least level-15 strength. Its body was between an elemental and a demon. It did not feel pain and did not have any consciousness. It only had the most primitive desire to kill and the instinct to obey the summoner's orders.
The instant the meteorite turned into the Flame Giant, Lin Li did not even think about breaking into a run. What kind of joke was this? To use the body of a mage to fight against this monster that was 10 meters tall and had boundless strength was simply asking for death …
"Boom!" Following that, there was another loud sound. The Flame Giant's fist heavily smashed onto the Aurora Square. In an instant, countless gravel and sparks could be seen flying. This heavy punch instantly smashed a huge pit in the Aurora Square …
"So powerful …" Fortunately, Lin Li reacted in time. He had just run a few steps when the Hellfire's fist landed. The place where the huge pit was smashed was the place where he had been standing. If he was late by one or two seconds, it would not only be the stone slabs that were laid on the Aurora Square that would be smashed.
"Count yourself lucky …" Matthias gritted his teeth. At this time, even he had to admit that this mage from Jarrosus was indeed cunning.
However, how could the attack of the Hellfire be something that could be escaped just because he wanted to?
Previously, he had used a large amount of mana to forcefully devour a Pyroblast in order to increase the power of the Hellfire. Don't look at the fact that the Hellfire that he had released was not even 10 meters away. In terms of power, it was definitely the strongest Hellfire that he had summoned!
The Hellfire that the meteorite had turned into stood there like a burning mountain. The incomparably hot flames rushed towards Lin Li's face, causing him to feel dizzy. The Hellfire's movements did not seem to be very coordinated, but every step it took covered a distance of a few meters. Even if Lin Li had the Hastening Spell, he could not withstand such torment. In the blink of an eye, he was forced to the back by the Hellfire …
