Everyone stood in the room in a daze, still immersed in the shock that they had just experienced. To them, everything that happened just now was probably the most unbelievable thing they had ever experienced in their lives. Melting a Humerus Wyrm alive? Was that something a human could do? What a joke … Even if they told others about it, they would most likely be laughed at for being childish.
Yet, that was the truth. That young mage Felic had melted a Humerus Wyrm just like that. Everything had happened right before their eyes, and they could still remember every detail clearly. From the moment the first bone spur started to melt to the moment the Humerus Wyrm completely turned into a cloud of green smoke, everything had been so real that they could not even treat it as a dream …
Among the 20-odd people present, Jason was the one who was the most shocked.
As one of the most outstanding Adventurers in Doland, Jason was much more knowledgeable than the rest. Although he did not know what that last bit of light was, he knew how terrifying the power of the Humerus Wyrm was. Oh, yes … Jason was sure that the world that was covered by mountains of corpses and seas of bones was the legendary Magical Domain …
Jason could not help but feel a chill down his spine at the thought of the words "Magical Domain".
Think about it …
That bit of light not only killed the Humerus Wyrm, but also broke the Magical Domain of a Legendary-mage. What kind of power was that? It was not a power that a mortal should have.
Jason could not imagine what kind of monster could possess such terrifying power. It would not be long before this monster shocked the whole of Doland, and even the whole of the Breezy Plains …
It seemed like he had to report this matter to the Adventurers Guild as soon as he got back. This fella was too dangerous. Jason even felt that this fella might be even more dangerous than the nightmare of the Breezy Plains, the legendary Ashen Warlock. Although the Ashen Warlock had the power to make people feel hopeless, he seemed more like a hermit who lived in seclusion and rarely came into contact with others. As long as one was not stupid enough to provoke him, one would not have to worry about the existence of the Ashen Warlock. Yet, no matter how Jason looked at this fella, he could not see any trace of a hermit from him …
Oh, yes, this guy mentioned something about the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic …
In the beginning, Jason did not take it seriously, but after the Humerus Wyrm was melted and the Magical Domain was broken, Jason vaguely felt that something was amiss. After secretly repeating it a few times in his heart, Jason's expression suddenly changed. "Oh my god, could it be that the Supreme Council has finally thought of extending their influence to the Breezy Plains?" he exclaimed.
"No, I have to report this to the Adventurer's Guild as soon as possible …" Jason could no longer maintain his composure as he recalled the terrifying legends that had been passed down from the Dark Age.
At this moment, Sienna was secretly rejoicing.
Sienna could not believe that he had survived until now.
One had to know that his attitude towards this young mage was far from friendly. Even though his expression was respectful at times, his mind was always thinking about something else. With this young mage's shrewdness, there was no way that he could not tell. Otherwise, he would not have fallen out with Jason and Sienna before they entered the clock tower. Sienna could not help but break out in cold sweat at the thought of that scene. He had already unsheathed his machete at that time, and was only waiting for Weathor to hold this fella back before he could slash at him …
Luckily, Weathor was too weak, and did not even have time to unsheathe his dagger before he was hit by a spell. Otherwise, if Sienna had really slashed at him with his machete, his corpse would have been cold by now …
Sienna wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he secretly rejoiced.
The 20-odd Adventurers were still in shock, while Jason and Sienna were preoccupied with their own thoughts. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange. Apart from the trembling skeleton, everything else seemed to have suddenly stopped.
"Oh, yes, where's Mage Felic …?" After some time, the strange silence was broken by Jason. His question suddenly made everyone realize that the young mage who had single-handedly killed the Humerus Wyrm and saved the whole team was now lying on the ground, and Norfeller was guarding him.
"Sh * t …" Jason and Sienna were stunned. They rushed over, and saw that Lin Li's face was pale and his breathing was weak. If not for his heartbeat, they would have thought that he was dead. The scariest thing was that neither Jason nor Sienna could sense any magical wave from him. It was as if the person lying there was not a powerful mage, but an ordinary person who could not even truss a chicken.
"What should we do?" Sienna was panicking. If there was a Humerus Wyrm in the ruins of Syer Town, who knew what other scary things were hiding? It would not be a problem if Mage Felic was here, but if anything happened to him, it would not be easy for him and his 20 Adventurers to return to Roland City alive …
Although Jason did not say much, he was not as relaxed as Sienna. Of course, he was not worried about whether they could return alive, but how the legendary Supreme Council would react if something happened to this young mage …
"It's not a big problem. Mage Felic must have used up too much mana in that spell just now …" Rotiya's voice was weak, but her words made Jason and Sienna heave a sigh of relief at the same time.
"It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine …"
Time passed by, and no one knew how much time had passed. It was not until the sky was slightly bright that everyone suddenly heard an almost inaudible moan.
"Master, you're awake!" Norfeller was the first to realize that Lin Li had woken up. There was a rare look of joy on the pale face of the high-ranking Vampire.
"That's great, Mage Felic, you're finally awake. How do you feel?" Jason and Sienna asked as they surrounded him.
"Erm, I feel terrible …" Lin Li rubbed his temples as he frowned. It was the first time since he came to Anril that he had completely depleted his mana. In the end, he had to use his mental strength to squeeze out the last bit of mana. When the last bit of mana was released, Lin Li felt empty as if he had been sucked by a huge needle …
In the past, Lin Li did not understand why that old fellow Andoine wanted him to treat every bit of mana carefully, nor did he understand why other mages were so passionate about techniques to conserve mana. It was only when Lin Li experienced the feeling of having his mana depleted that he finally understood how pitiful it was for a mage to lose his mana. It was as if he had fallen from heaven to earth, from a god to a mortal — powerless and helpless, as if he had really died once.
However, this should only be temporary.
After all, this was a normal depletion of mana that every mage would encounter. It was only because Lin Li's mana was too abnormal that he had not encountered it before. Now that he had encountered it once, it was difficult for him to get used to it. With his mental strength, it should not take long for him to recover completely.
In fact, after standing up with Norfeller's help, Lin Li could already feel that his mana was gradually recovering.
Moreover … the speed of recovery seemed to be much faster than usual. It felt as if he had opened up another spring, and more spring water was gushing out from it …
At first, Lin Li thought that it was an illusion, but he soon knew that it was not. His mana recovery speed had indeed increased by a lot. Compared to before, it might have increased by more than a third. Lin Li believed that he could not be wrong about such a huge improvement.
"How could this be?" Lin Li's mind was in a daze. He knew his mental strength well, and his mana recovery speed was already shocking enough. He did not expect such a strange thing to happen after exhausting all his mana in the Humerus Domain. It seemed like he had to find time to ask Andoine about it when he got back.
On one hand, his mana was recovering rapidly, but on the other hand, the aftereffects of mana depletion still existed. In fact, Lin Li's head had been hurting ever since he woke up. It was as if someone had hit it with a hammer, and there was a constant buzzing sound in his ears. Even when he was listening to others, he had to tilt his head to listen. When Lin Li looked at Jason and Sienna, he could not help but feel suspicious. "I say, did the two of you beat me up when I was unconscious?"
"No, no …" This joke almost scared the two of them to death. They denied it repeatedly while shaking their heads with pale faces. What a joke. Even if they were given a thousand guts, they would not dare to do such a thing. What difference was there between beating you up and committing suicide?
"It's just a joke, just a joke. Don't be so nervous …" Lin Li did not expect a joke to scare the two of them to this extent. For a moment, he could not help but feel awkward. Fortunately, this fella had always been thick-skinned. After laughing awkwardly, he changed the topic. "Oh, yes, where's Sir Lich?"
