"This …" Gavin's jaw dropped, and his face was filled with disbelief. This was too ridiculous. How could a Crimson Python entangle itself? If word of this got out, people would probably die of laughter on the spot.
Gavin was not the only one who was in disbelief. The people who had rushed to the Tower of Dusk were not rookies. The weakest among them was at least a Magic Shooter, and there were two Archmages, Gavin and Gerian, as well as Rina, a Judge Paladin whom even Lin Li could not fathom. How could they not know what kind of power the Crimson Pythons in the Blackstone Mountains had? Especially the one in front of them, which looked even more ferocious than the average Crimson Python. Once it went berserk, even a Legendary powerhouse would have to retreat …
They could not imagine how such a terrifying existence could be tied into a dead knot by that young mage. This had already surpassed the boundaries of magic, and was not a power that belonged to mortals. This Crimson Python was obviously close to the Legendary-realm, and when it went berserk, even a Legendary powerhouse could only kill it, and not tie it into a dead knot.
This was a real miracle. In the whole of Anril, only those few Sanctuary powerhouses could barely do it …
Yet, everything in front of them was so real. The Crimson Python was tightly entangled, and no matter how it struggled and howled, the dead knot that was tied into its body showed no signs of loosening.
"Damn it, how many more things is this little bastard hiding from me …" Gerian cursed.
"Let's kill it first!" Rina was probably the calmest out of all the people present. Although everything in front of her was extremely ridiculous, she did not stay stunned for too long. While everyone was still in a daze, Rina had already raised the sharp sword in her hand, and the unicorn beneath her let out a long neigh before spreading its wings. Her long golden hair and shiny silver armor shone brightly in the firelight …
However …
Even Rina would not have thought that there would be someone faster than her in Black Clouds Town.
Just as the unicorn spread its wings, a magical wave filled with the aura of death suddenly spread out. As the only Judge Paladin in the Holy Knights Division, Rina was naturally very familiar with this kind of evil aura of death. Rina frowned as soon as the magical wave spread out, and the unicorn that was about to soar into the sky also paused for a moment …
This was an almost impossible action. A Paladin who had been baptized by the Fire of Judgment was originally the most devout believer of the Holy Light, and was the natural enemy of Undead creatures. Ever since Rina was very young, this hostility towards Undead creatures had been deeply rooted in her heart. It was an innate instinct, and also a belief that she had cultivated for more than 10 years!
However, Rina was not a bad person. She only hesitated for a while before realizing that it was not the right time to be calculative with an Undead creature. After all, the thing that was wreaking havoc in Black Clouds Town was not the Undead creature that she hated, but the crazy Crimson Python. Protecting the innocent was the first creed of a Holy Paladin. In front of it, even the battle between light and darkness had to take a back seat. This was what her teacher, Englos, had told her.
However, in that moment of hesitation, the magical wave that was filled with the aura of death suddenly surged over like a tidal wave. The aura of death was powerful and evil, and even Rina could not help but feel fearful. Just as Rina was feeling a little shocked, another shocking change happened in the ruins of the clock tower. Cracks suddenly appeared on the messy ground, and white bony arms extended from the cracks. At first, there were only tens of arms, but in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of arms, and then thousands, tens of thousands, and even countless arms. At first, there were only a few dozen arms, but in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of arms, and then thousands, tens of thousands, and even countless arms. At a glance, one could only see a dense forest of bones that trapped the Crimson Python, as though it was a prison made of bones!
"Soul Cage!" Rina's expression changed instantly. The legendary level-18 Necromagic required a huge amount of mana, a long recitation time, and a power that was comparable to a Legendary spell!
"There's actually such a powerful Necromancer in Black Clouds Town?"
This was something that Rina had not expected. A Necromancer who could cast the Soul Cage had to be at least level-18, or even level-19. Black Clouds Town was just a remote town in Doland, and if not for the Tower of Dusk, she would not have heard of it in her entire life. Why would a level-18 or even level-19 Necromancer come here?
Could it be that these damned Undead creatures were up to some evil scheme again?
Yet, just as Rina was feeling suspicious, a flash of light from a sword flashed in the sky, followed by a soft sound, and a putrid stench of blood splattered …
"Oh my God …" It was only then that Rina saw clearly that the person who had swung the sword was a young man in a black cloak. He was thin and pale, and upon closer inspection, wasn't he the high-ranking Vampire that she had met at the castellan's mansion in Roland City that night?
At this moment, Norfeller leaped down from the sky, and the two Heaven's Wrath daggers in his hands flashed, and instantly pierced the weakest part of the Crimson Python's body. In an instant, an earth-shattering roar was heard!
This was the first time the Crimson Python had suffered a heavy blow in the battle that night. Norfeller's blow was definitely fatal. The Crimson Python's body was covered in hard scales, and even magical weapons worth millions of gold coins might not be able to penetrate its body, let alone ordinary weapons. Its only weakness was its heart. Although it was also protected by scales, it was pitifully weak, and could not withstand the full blow of a high-ranking Vampire.
Moreover, this high-ranking Vampire was using the Heaven's Wrath dagger left behind by a Legendary Assassin. It was a powerful Undead artifact, and although it lacked the Gem of Curse, it was still very powerful. At this moment, Norfeller descended from the sky, and with a flash of his sword, he pierced the Crimson Python's heart with the Heaven's Wrath dagger …
Perhaps feeling the pressure of death, the Crimson Python's resistance after being stabbed made everyone break out in cold sweat for Norfeller. Norfeller held onto the Crimson Python's scales tightly with one hand, and the Heaven's Wrath dagger in the other. He pierced the dagger into the Crimson Python's body again and again, causing the weakest spot on its body to be injured. The Crimson Python's screams were filled with anger and despair, and its hideous head kept struggling, trying to throw Norfeller off its back. Unfortunately, its body was already tightly bound by itself, and its strength was suppressed by the Soul Cage. No matter how hard the Crimson Python struggled, it could only slam its head against the iron base again and again …
After going back and forth a few times, everyone could see that the base made of refined iron had deep marks left behind by the Crimson Python …
"This kind of physical strength is too terrifying …" Almost everyone had the same thought in that instant. This was the base of the clock tower in Black Clouds Town, and it was made of fine iron. It had been placed in the tower for hundreds of years, and there was no sign of it being damaged even after hundreds of years. Who would have thought that it would be dented by a crazed magical beast today …
"Still so energetic?" Lin Li knew that this tough battle was coming to an end when Norfeller pierced the Crimson Python's heart.
Lin Li panted a few times, and stood up with difficulty. His head was still throbbing, but it was not as serious as before. He had regained control of the mana in his body. Lin Li patted the dust off his body, and picked up the Aether Staff that had fallen to the ground.
Then, it was a long recitation of a spell …
It was a long but not complicated incantation, and the language used was the common language. There was not even a single word of High Elves Print in it. Even the weakest of the 20-odd mages present knew what the young mage was chanting. They could understand every single word, and even knew what kind of effect it would have in a spell, and how much mana it would consume.
But …
When all the bytes were added together to form a complete incantation, no one could understand it.
Perhaps only the two Archmages, Gavin and Gerian, knew what it meant …
It meant that this was a brand new spell, one that had never been made public, understood, or used by anyone.
In other words, this was a spell that belonged only to Lin Li!
Gavin and Gerian had guessed correctly. This was indeed a spell that belonged only to Lin Li. To be precise, this was the third spell that Lin Li had created — Frostfire Storm!
The first two spells that Lin Li had created were specifically used to deal with mages. One was Countercurrent Vortex, and the other was Arcane Combustion. Both of them made use of one's strong mental strength to suppress and attack the opponent's mana. In essence, it was a simple and almost violent method. It was purely using strength to suppress one's opponent, and there was no skill or luck involved.
However, compared to this third spell, the first two spells were too mild.
The moment Lin Li shouted the spell, two completely different but equally powerful magical waves suddenly filled the ruins of the clock tower. The two completely different auras, one cold and the other scorching, merged perfectly at this moment. It was as if flames and ice should have appeared together in the first place, and there would be a flaw if one of them was missing.
