Old Merlin's right hand that held the Strong Energy Crystal tightened abruptly, and traces of light seeped through the gaps between his fingers. That pure and clean magical aura was surging into Old Merlin's body at an unimaginable speed. With the surge of that power, his pale and weak face suddenly became much rosier.
Everyone present could clearly feel that Old Merlin's mana was recovering at an extremely fast rate. The depletion from the previous battle would be replenished by the Strong Energy Crystal in an instant. In just a few seconds, this seemingly weak old man would become the most powerful mage in Jarrosus again.
The sky outside the Emerald Tower was covered by thick dark clouds …
A bitter smile appeared on Gerian's face. The outcome of the duel between the strongest mages in Jarrosus was actually decided by a crystal.
Everyone, including Kevin, had lost all hope. In front of an Archmage who had fully recovered his mana, everything was just fleeting clouds. Although there were many people on the Emerald Tower's side, no one could save Gerian …
The smile on Old Merlin's face gradually widened. It looked like everything had reached the point of no return.
Just when everyone thought that the Emerald Tower's defeat was a foregone conclusion, Lin Li shook his head helplessly. "Seems like his brain is really damaged from the beating …"
This sentence was not loud, but it was enough for the people around to hear. In an instant, four to five mages turned their heads and glared at Lin Li with eyes full of anger, including Kevin. He was the most familiar with Lin Li among all of them, and it was precisely because of this that he knew better how much Gerian valued Lin Li, and how much pressure Gerian had endured when he gave those privileges to Lin Li.
He had never thought that Lin Li would say such a sentence at the most dangerous time for Gerian.
For a moment, Kevin's expression became unusually ugly. The gaze he gave Lin Li was a little angry and disdainful. "Mage Felic, you really disappoint me …"
"Why are you all looking at me like that … Also, Kevin, if you want to be disappointed, it should be in that old fellow." Lin Li shook his head helplessly, and slowly took out a sky-blue bottle from his pocket. "If his brain wasn't damaged, he would have looked for help long ago. Did he really think that an Archmage could take over Jarrosus City …"
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the sky-blue glass bottle emitted a halo that was even more dazzling than the strong energy crystal.
They were both gorgeous and blurry, exuding a pure magical aura.
When the halo emerged from Lin Li's hand, the few people who were glaring at Lin Li were stunned almost at the same time.
Kevin blushed at first, then revealed a look of surprise. As for the mages behind him, they suddenly burst into cheers!
The cheers startled everyone, including Old Merlin and Cromwell. They cast all sorts of looks, some puzzled, some surprised, and some doubtful.
Then, they saw Lin Li walking out of the crowd.
"Looks like I'm really getting old, and my brain is starting to fail me …" Lin Li muttered quietly, and stuffed the sky-blue glass bottle into Gerian's hand under his stunned gaze.
"This is …" Gerian was slightly taken aback at first, but he soon felt a wave of mana rolling in the glass bottle. That pure and clean feeling was just like the strong energy crystal in Old Merlin's hand.
"Something like the strong energy crystal. I remember it's called the Awakening Potion." With that, he added in a low voice, "Actually, I prefer to call it Red Bull Drink."
"…"
At this critical moment, who had the time to study the Red Bull Drink with him? Almost as soon as Lin Li's voice fell, Gerian had already pulled out the cork and poured the whole bottle of Awakening Potion into his mouth. While feeling the pure mana contained in it, he smacked his lips to savor the sweet and sour taste.
As soon as the Awakening Potion entered his mouth, Gerian knew that the outcome was set.
The speed of mana recovery brought by the Awakening Potion far exceeded that of the strong energy crystal in Old Merlin's hand. Almost in an instant, the depleted mana returned to its peak.
Feeling the magical wave from Gerian, the crowd outside the Emerald Tower burst into cheers again.
This was a miracle that belonged to pharmacists!
Everyone's heart was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. If it weren't for this bottle of Awakening Potion, there would probably be no Guild of Magic in Jarrosus in the future. The ups and downs of life were indeed too exciting. The mages who had their hearts on tenterhooks previously were now qualified to look forward to victory.
They had even sketched a scene in their minds — a battle between Gerian after recovering his mana and Old Merlin. Both sides would exhaust their mana once again, and then the people of the Emerald Tower would swarm in and completely destroy Old Merlin. Of course, apart from President Gerian and Mage Felic, the most glorious position must be reserved for themselves …
Unfortunately, Lin Li did not give them this chance. The mages who were immersed in their imaginations soon saw Lin Li's hand reach into his pocket again. This time, he took out another sky blue glass bottle, with the same dazzling halo and the same pure magical aura.
"Seeing that you've fought so brilliantly today, I'll give you another bottle …"
"…"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd outside the Emerald Tower collapsed on the spot.
Especially Old Merlin, who was holding the strong energy crystal, felt a throbbing pain in his heart …
The strong energy crystal could only be found by chance. Even with the power and wealth of the Merlin Family, they had only found one after so many years. But when it came to the Guild of Magic, look at what this young mage named Felic had done …
Not only did he shove the Awakening Potion, which was as precious as the strong energy crystal, into Gerian's hand, but Lin Li immediately shoved another bottle into his mouth after Gerian had just finished drinking it, and the reason was "seeing that you've fought so brilliantly" … When the precious Awakening Potion entered his mouth, it was like stuffing a carrot …
Old Merlin suddenly wanted to ask, was there still justice in this world?
Everything was over …
Feeling the strong aura coming from Gerian, Old Merlin sighed slightly and let go of the strong energy crystal in his hand. Everything was meaningless. Even if he could absorb all the mana in the strong energy crystal, he would only be on par with Gerian at his peak.
To Old Merlin, this was tantamount to failure.
