This sudden turn of events scared everyone out of their wits. They stood there dumbfounded as they watched the air explode and the Cloud Storm wreak havoc. This time, Weathor had really kicked an iron plate. Countless golden snakes rolled down, and in just a moment, the unlucky Bandit was half cooked. Fortunately, the female Priestess reacted quickly. Seeing that the situation was not good, she hurriedly cast a Mana Purification Spell to save Weathor's life. However, even so, Weathor, who was seriously injured, was almost half dead. His skin and flesh were torn and charred, and a strong burnt smell was emitted along with his moans. If they did not see it with their own eyes, who would believe that this half-dead guy was actually a level-15 high-level Bandit …
"Mr Felic, what do you mean by this?" Jason's face did not look too good. The three of them had gone through countless battles together, and their relationship had long surpassed that of ordinary companions. Seeing that Weathor was seriously injured now, how could Jason tolerate it? He did not even care about the crossbow on his chest, and quickly activated his Combat Energy. He held the gleaming rune's adamantine sword, and was about to fight Lin Li with all his might.
"What do I mean?" Lin Li only glanced at him, and still said calmly, "It's just a small warning. I hate sneak attacks the most. If anyone dares to do this again, they might not be as lucky as Weathor …"
As soon as the last word "lucky" was said, the Aether Staff in Lin Li's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Before Jason could even speak, he suddenly felt an extremely hot aura coming towards him, and then saw a blazing fire suddenly burst out …
Then …
There was a loud "boom".
A huge fireball whizzed out close to Jason's chest, and left a long trail of flames in the sky. At a glance, it was like a blazing sun in the sky. At this moment, even time seemed to have become abnormally slow. Everyone held their breath, and their eyes fell on that huge fireball. They watched as it left a long trail of flames in the sky, and then watched as it exploded in the midst of the overwhelming crowd of Skeletal Warriors with a "boom" …
In an instant, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky. It was an earth-shattering scene, but it was suffocatingly quiet. Apart from the loud sound of the fireball's explosion, there was not a single sound. All they saw was a dazzling fire spreading and devouring crazily, and the dense crowd of Skeletal Warriors instantly melted like snow under their eyes …
"Oh my God …" Sienna could not believe his eyes. Was this really the power that a human should have? He had brought over 30 Adventurers, Jason, and his two level-15 companions, and fought tirelessly for a long time, but they had only killed a few hundred Skeletal Warriors. But look at this fella, look at what he had done. F * ck, he turned thousands of Skeletal Warriors into ashes with just a wave of his hand. This … Was this really something a human could do?
Looking at the group of Skeletal Warriors that had turned into ashes, Sienna was really scared out of his wits. He had never even dreamed that there would be such a powerful fella among his companions … Oh, no, no, no, not just a freak, this fella could only be described as a freak. This was not something a normal human could do. What scared Sienna the most was that he actually had the thought of dealing with this freak. At the thought of this, Sienna could only feel his limbs turning cold …
Sienna was not the only one who was scared by Lin Li's Pyroblast …
Jason gripped his rune's adamantine sword tightly. The Combat Energy that had yet to dissipate was still radiating a dazzling light, but his gaze towards Lin Li was filled with fear. He could not believe that this young mage who could turn thousands of Skeletal Warriors into ashes with just a wave of his hand was the incompetent employer who always had a friendly smile on his face, and looked like he had neither the ability nor the cunning mind …
The cold crossbow was still pressed against his chest, but Jason, who was holding the rune's adamantine sword, did not dare to move at all. This was because he did not know what kind of disaster his resistance would bring. To Jason, this young mage who was pointing a crossbow at him was even more terrifying than the Undead creatures in the clock tower.
At that moment, the atmosphere around them became extremely strange.
Be it Jason or his companions, or Sienna or his subordinates, no one dared to move or speak. More than 20 people just stood there in a daze, looking at the young mage with fear in their eyes. At this moment, Weathor became the most normal person. Because he had already fainted from his injuries, he did not know what was happening around him at all. At this moment, he was lying limply on the ground, moaning intermittently …
"Hehehe, this is really interesting. What's the matter, my guests? You seem to have a little disagreement?" The weird laughter from the clock tower broke the strange atmosphere. The mysterious Undead creature's laughter was still hoarse and unpleasant, but it sounded like it was gloating now.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Lin Li scolded without turning his head. His eyes swept across the 20 Adventurers. "Now, I'll give you two options. One is to listen to me obediently and not play any tricks. Although there is a small risk, I think everyone here should be able to return alive if there are no accidents. The second option is to rely on yourselves. If you are confident in your abilities, you can try to kill your way out of these Undead creatures …"
At this point, Lin Li paused for a moment before turning back to look at the castellan's daughter. "As for this little girl, I'd advise you not to do anything, because she is under the protection of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. Any action against her will be seen as a provocation to the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic and myself."
"…" Sienna swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his expression became even uglier. He was not afraid of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic since he had never heard of it before. Provoking it was fine. However, this perverted mage was no joke. Just based on his ability to turn thousands of Skeletal Warriors into ashes with a fireball, he was not someone a small Adventurer like him could afford to offend. Not to mention himself, so what if he was a top Adventurer like Jason? He would still be held in his chest with a crossbow, and not even dare to breathe too loudly …
But, if he did not hand over the castellan's daughter, would he and his 20 men really be able to escape from the ruins of Syer Town?
In his hesitation, Sienna looked at Jason for help again.
"I'll follow your orders, Mage Felic." Even Lin Li did not expect Jason to make up his mind so quickly. This top Adventurer did not hesitate at all. The moment Lin Li finished speaking, Jason had already dispersed the Combat Energy on the rune's adamantine sword, and knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Li to announce his stance in an almost humble manner.
"We … We're willing to follow your orders too, Mage Felic." Since Jason had already expressed his stance, Sienna naturally had no more hesitation.
"Very good …" Lin Li smiled in satisfaction. He reached out to help Jason, who was kneeling on one knee, and retracted the crossbow that was pressed against Jason's chest without anyone noticing.
This was the result that Lin Li really wanted. Although killing the chicken to warn the monkey was a little old, it was indeed useful in many situations. For example, a Cloud Storm that severely injured Weathor, and a Pyroblast that killed a large group of Skeletal Warriors, immediately made these two fellows who had ulterior motives obedient.
Lin Li had no choice but to do this, because he had already vaguely guessed it when he first came into contact with the Skeletal Warriors with his mental strength. It was only until the Tide of Death that Lin Li confirmed his guess. Lin Li knew that if he did not guess wrongly, the one hiding in the clock tower was most likely a real Lich — a legendary powerful Undead creature that had broken through level-20. To a certain extent, it could even be stronger than Sendros, because Sendros was a human after all, while the Lich was a real Undead creature!
Even to the current Lin Li, level-20 was an unattainable existence. Before entering the Legendary-realm, one would never know what the Legendary-realm meant. Fortunately, this was a level-20 Undead creature, and Lin Li happened to have an item that could restrain Undead creatures. In another world that Lin Li had fought before, this item was known as the natural enemy of Undead creatures. Even a Lich that had broken through level-20 would definitely not be able to withstand a light blow from it …
However, to the current Lin Li, this item had a very fatal flaw — it contained too much power, and with Lin Li's current strength, it was impossible for him to really control it. Even if he could only use a very, very small amount of power, it would still require a lot of time …
In a battle that was changing rapidly, where would there be a lot of time for preparation?
Hence, Lin Li had no choice but to find a few helpers …
Although these helpers were not very obedient, it did not matter. Lin Li believed that be it Sienna or Jason, they were both rare smart people. A little trick would be able to make them harmonious — yes, just like now …
"Now, let us see if the legendary Tide of Death really will never dry up like in the legends …" Lin Li raised the Aether Staff in his hand high up, and a complicated incantation flowed out of his mouth like flowing water. Along with the cryptic chanting, a cold aura gradually spread out …
