Alan's hair stood on end when he saw the scene in the crystal ball. The Crimson Python's body was over ten meters long, and when it spread its wings, it covered the sky and covered the earth. On its sinister head, a pair of blood-red eyes flickered with a cold light, and two sharp fangs were exposed at the corners of its mouth. As they opened and closed, thick smoke and raging flames were spewing out …
How could Alan not have heard of the famous Crimson Python? It was one of the strongest magical beasts in the Blackstone Mountains. It was said that an adult Crimson Python had the power of at least level-18, and some of them could even break through level-20 to become real Legendary magical beasts!
"Oh no, why did President Felic go there alone? What if he meets with danger?" The Crimson Python was at least a level-18 magical beast, and no matter how optimistic Alan was, he would not be so optimistic as to think that President Felic alone could stop the Crimson Python.
Alan hurriedly told Gavin about the news.
"What?" Gavin was shocked too. Although he knew that the young President's abilities were unfathomable, Gavin also knew that no matter how powerful he was, it was nothing in front of the Crimson Python. It was a level-18 magical beast, and when it went berserk, it would be infinitely close to the Legendary-level.
"Alan, go and gather everyone now. Follow me to support President Felic. Be quick, or else it'll be too late!" Gavin was even more anxious than Alan. This young President was the person whom Mr Basel had specifically asked him to follow, and if anything were to happen to him under his watch, he would not be able to stay in Doland any longer.
Moreover, it had been a pleasant month in the Tower of Dusk. The young President trusted Gavin very much, and gave him most of the authority in the Guild of Magic. To a certain extent, Gavin had realized his initial ambition by becoming the second-in-command in the Guild of Magic. Although this second-in-command still looked a little shabby, with only 30 or so mages in charge, Gavin was full of confidence in the young President after the Inauguration Ceremony. A person who was fawned over by so many big shots would not be an ordinary person. In time, he would definitely bring the Guild of Magic to a height that Gavin had never imagined!
However, if anything were to happen to President Felic, everything that he was about to obtain would fly away again. Perhaps the Supreme Council would send a new president, and perhaps this new president could bring the guild to a height that he had never imagined. However, who could guarantee that this new president would still trust him as much as President Felic did? If there was no trust, what did all this have to do with him?
After Gavin finished speaking, he picked up his magic staff from behind him. Just as he was about to recite the Levitation Spell, another person appeared in the Guild Hall.
"I'm going too!"
Even Lin Li would not have expected that the person who said "I'm going too" would be Englos' disciple, the young and beautiful Paladin. At this time, Rina had already put on her heavy armor, and the sharp sword in her hand was emitting a cold gleam. Her fair and pretty face was full of determination.
"Erm …" Gavin hesitated for a moment. He knew about Miss Rina as President Felic had personally told him that she was a distinguished guest from the Brilliance Shrine, and that he should not slight her. However, this distinguished guest did not seem to have a harmonious relationship with President Felic. She had stayed in the Tower of Dusk for more than a month, but she rarely left her room. She would only speak to President Felic when she came out, which made Gavin extremely curious. What had happened between the two of them …
But no matter how curious Gavin was, she was, after all, an important guest from the Brilliance Shrine. If anything went wrong, it would be hard to explain to President Felic.
"Miss Rina, how can we do that? You are an important guest of the Tower of Dusk …"
"Apart from being a guest of the Tower of Dusk, I am also a Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine!" Rina's words were loud and clear. After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Gavin to continue persuading her. She walked out of the Tower of Dusk with her sword in hand. With a crisp whistle, a white unicorn flew down from the sky.
"This …" Gavin was tongue-tied. Although he knew that this Miss Rina was a Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine, it was his first time seeing this unicorn. Wouldn't a Paladin who rode on a unicorn be the only Judge Paladin in the history of the Paladins? The legendary Messenger of the Holy Light who wielded a sharp blade and purified the world with the Holy Fire of Judgment …
Gavin couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his young President. Why were all the youngsters nowadays so fierce?
Just as he was dumbfounded, another person rushed down the stairs. When Gavin saw the plump figure, he felt a headache coming on. Damn it, why did this old man come down too?
"Damn it, this little brat, how dare he hide such an important matter from me!"
"…" There were only two people in the entire Tower of Dusk who dared to scold President Felic with vulgarities. One was Arbitrator Apophis, and the other was Gerian. At the thought of Gerian's relationship with President Felic, Gavin could not help but have a headache.
Just as he was about to persuade Lin Li, Gerian had already recited a Levitation Spell. Then, the plump figure flew towards Black Clouds Town like a cannonball, leaving a dumbfounded Gavin behind.
"Uh … Let's go too …" Seeing the fatty and the unicorn flying further and further away, Gavin did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately gathered all the Magic Shooters in the guild, and more than 20 of them rushed towards Black Clouds Town.
…
At this time, the battle in Black Clouds Town was unusually intense.
The Crimson Python had fallen from the sky under the restraint of the Gravity Spell, but this did not mean that this terrifying magical beast had lost its ability to fight. On the contrary, the Crimson Python was the scariest when it landed on the ground. Its wings were only used for flight, and had no power in a real battle. The reason why the Crimson Python could become one of the most powerful magical beasts in the Blackstone Mountains was because of its unparalleled physical strength, poisonous fangs, and fire element magic that was passed down through its bloodline.
Norfeller's body was covered with wounds of various sizes. Some were abrasions, while others were burns. Blood flowed continuously from these wounds, and his already pale face was now as white as a sheet of paper. Ujfalusi's situation was not looking good either. The intense battle had depleted too much of his mana, and he was trying his best to recover his mana with Norfeller and Lin Li's cover.
The only thing to be thankful for was that they had indeed completed the task that Lin Li had given them. Before Lin Li arrived, they had fulfilled their responsibility to protect Black Clouds Town. Otherwise, given the power of the Crimson Python, Black Clouds Town would have long been burnt to ashes.
However, Norfeller was only a level-17 Vampire after all, and Ujfalusi was greatly injured due to the destruction of the Humerus Domain. Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to deal with the Crimson Python. Furthermore, this was a freakish Crimson Python. It was the legendary variant of the Crimson Python, a terrifying existence that had reached the Legendary-realm …
At the thought of this, Lin Li could not help but curse.
Which bastard had provoked this variant of the Crimson Python from the Blackstone Mountains, and driven it to such a state of madness …
Just the thought of how terrifying a Legendary-realm Crimson Python could be when it went crazy made Lin Li's scalp go numb …
However, it was meaningless to talk about this now. The only thing Lin Li could do now was to stall the Crimson Python to buy time for Ujfalusi to recover his mana. As long as the former Lich could recover half of his mana, he would be able to cast the level-18 Necromagic, Soul's Cage. As long as the Soul's Cage could trap the Crimson Python for a while, Lin Li would have enough time to prepare. If everything went well, he might really have a chance to kill this Legendary-realm Crimson Python …
As the Crimson Python's tail swept across the area, it brought along a gust of strong wind with a fishy stench. Every time the Crimson Python attacked, the surrounding houses would collapse. Fortunately, the residents nearby had already evacuated, and there were only two Undead creatures, a human, and a crazy Crimson Python on the empty street.
Even so, the pressure from the Crimson Python still made Lin Li breathless. This terrifying magical beast had completely given up on flying, and did not even bother to break free from the Gravity Spell that bound its wings. In fact, with its strength, breaking free from the Gravity Spell was a piece of cake.
All it cared about now was swinging its long tail, smashing houses into smithereens and spewing out flames with a strong smell of sulfur. In an instant, the ruins in front of it had turned into a sea of fire.
At this time, Lin Li was like a lone boat struggling in the raging waves. He controlled the Power of Flight while continuously using instantaneous spells to attract the Crimson Python's attention.
However, most of these instantaneous spells were only level-5 or level-6, and the highest was not more than level-8. They were not much of a threat to the Crimson Python that had probably broken through level-20. Most of the time, they could not even penetrate its thick scales. The only purpose was to make the Crimson Python even angrier and crazier so that it would focus all its attention on Lin Li.
That was indeed Lin Li's goal. He wanted to try his best to delay the Crimson Python and buy more time for Ujfalusi. However, once he achieved his goal, he was faced with even more pressure. The Crimson Python's crazy attacks made Lin Li feel like he was suffocating.
The worst thing was that Lin Li's method of controlling the Power of Flight had reached an extremely abnormal level. If other Archmages were to see him now, they would probably think that they were looking at a Legendary-mage. While being chased by the Crimson Python, Lin Li controlled the Levitation Spell to constantly change his direction and speed. He was as agile as a butterfly that flew through flowers. This had far exceeded the scope of the Levitation Spell, and even the Legendary-level Power of Flight was probably inferior to this.
One was a level-15 spell, while the other was a level-20 spell. How could the difference between them be calculated? Lin Li was simply relying on his insane mental strength to forcefully push the effect of a level-15 spell to the level of a level-20 spell. Even if he had infinite mana and insane mental strength, he would not be able to maintain this state for a long time.
Lin Li could even faintly feel that his mental strength was in a severely distorted state. If he did not stop to rest, he might suddenly fall from the sky at any moment …
