The battle between the two Legendary-mages had reached its climax. Magical runes covered the sky, and lit up the whole cave as if it was daytime. Magical elements filled the air, and even the space seemed to be torn apart.
Countless spells were like a tsunami, crazily destroying the entire world. Frost and raging flames filled everyone's vision, the surrounding stone walls were torn apart piece by piece, the ground under their feet was trembling violently, the broken boulders kept falling from the sky, as far as the eye could see, it was a scene of doomsday.
The intensity of this battle had exceeded everyone's imagination, including Lin Li himself …
Even Lin Li himself did not expect a battle between Legendary-mages to be so terrifying. The entire battle was like a huge whirlpool that was constantly dragging him into the depths of the darkness. In order to resist this terrifying whirlpool, Lin Li had already exerted the power of the Legendary-realm to the limit.
There was no room for mistakes in a battle of this level. Even a mage who had broken through to the Legendary-realm would be killed by a slight mana backlash. The humans and Liches in the battle were powerhouses who stood at the peak of magic. Their battle rhythm was enough to make any mage go crazy. They could release more than 10 spells with just a raise of their hands. There were countless changes in the battle in every instant, be it attack or defense, recitation or instantaneous casting, distribution of mana, arrangement of elements, reaction of the opponent, or how to deal with it. Everything had to be decided in an instant.
However, Lin Li felt that his mind was surprisingly calm in this intense battle that was driving him crazy.
Lin Li felt as if he had entered an extremely mysterious realm. Everything seemed to be slowed down a million times. Every gesture, every incantation, and even the slightest magical wave would appear in his mind in the most intuitive and clear way.
In particular, everything became clearer when Lin Li noticed that trace of abnormality.
That's right, the Lich's mana did come from that altar. It was as if there was an invisible channel that was continuously injecting mana into the Lich's body, giving it a terrifying mana that was comparable to Lin Li's.
And the way to deal with the Lich was naturally to cut off this channel of mana …
"Holy Light?" Lin Li suddenly hesitated. If he wanted to cut off this channel of mana, the best way was to use Holy Light, because Holy Light was the only existence in this world that could suppress the Gloomy Dark Force.
However, if he were to use Holy Light, it would also mean that he would be in danger. Even a Legendary-mage would not be immune to the conflict between the two forces of Light and Darkness. At most, he would only have a 20% chance of surviving that near-destructive explosion. As for the others in the advance party, they would probably all die together with the Lich …
Lin Li quickly rejected that idea. That was a dead end, and Lin Li would never take that path unless he had lost all hope. It didn't matter if Adelo and the rest died, but what about the people from the Tower of Dusk? Norfeller and Ujfalusi were his most capable helpers, and had always been loyal to him. How could he sacrifice them at will? As for Rina, she was the only Judge Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine and the proud disciple of Archbishop Englos. If he were to sacrifice her, Englos and Rosario would definitely come after him …
But if he didn't use the Holy Light, what else could he do?
The flying Bone Spears and the spreading poisonous fog filled the entire cave with a suffocating mana wave. Even though Lin Li still had the strength to fight back, the countless Necromagic spells were like a huge python that coiled around Lin Li tighter and tighter …
"What should I do, what should I do …" Lin Li's forehead was full of sweat. The situation was getting worse for him. With the power provided by the Gloomy Dark, the Lich that never knew fatigue had gradually gained the initiative. If he did not make a decision now, he would be dragged into the abyss of defeat. By then, even if he was willing to use Holy Light, he would not be able to kill the Lich that had completely grasped the rhythm of the battle.
"That's right!" Just as the battle situation was worsening, Lin Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Crystal!"
That's right, it was that crystal …
That dark red crystal that had treated the Shapeshifters and Vampires as food and almost killed him. Even though Lin Li still could not figure out the use of this dark red crystal, he remembered clearly that back in the Shadowglen, this crystal had displayed a very strange characteristic. It would automatically devour all the Death Aura. Even the Death Aura that leaked out when the Undead Lords controlled the Undead creatures could not escape the devouring of this crystal.
"If I use it to devour the power of the Gloomy Dark …" This was a whimsical idea, but Lin Li still did not hesitate to put his hand into the Ring of Endless Storm. This was because he had no other choice. Unless he risked his life to use Holy Light, this whimsical idea was the only one he could think of …
Although it had been lying in the Ring of Endless Storm for half a year, the crystal did not change at all. It still gave Lin Li a chilling feeling the moment he held it in his hand. It was as if he was not holding a crystal, but a block of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.
"Indeed!" The moment the crystal was exposed to the air, Lin Li knew that he had done the right thing. This was because he could clearly feel that the magical wave in the surroundings had suddenly shown a strange distortion.
This crystal could indeed devour the power of the Gloomy Dark!
Although this devouring was not enough to cut off the mana channel in an instant, it was enough for Lin Li. Now, all Lin Li needed was a chance — a chance to use the crystal to lay a trap, and then he could lead the Lich into the trap step by step.
Lin Li held the crystal in his hand tightly. He was not affected by the chill at all. Hurried chants came out of his mouth, and formed a powerful high-level magic. Even the level-18 Iceblast was forcefully compressed by Lin Li's recitation time, and was cast almost instantaneously. In an instant, the whole cave was suddenly filled with the two completely different powers of frost and fire. Even the green poisonous fog that covered the sky seemed to be swept away in an instant.
This was an explosive attack, and there were no signs or signs. It was as if he had taken an invisible aphrodisiac, and suddenly had an erection. Even the Lich, who had lived for more than 1,300 years, could not help but be flustered in the face of this explosive erection.
The biting cold wind and shattered ice turned into an Iceblast Dragon in the sky, and with a deafening roar, it pounced on the Lich. Everything happened so suddenly that even the Lich could only put up a Skeletal Cage to protect himself. But how could a Skeletal Cage withstand the power of the Iceblast? With a crisp "kacha" sound, the seemingly indestructible skeleton cage cracked open.
Then, the huge Iceblast Dragon devoured the Lich …
The intense magical wave suddenly subsided, and the whole cave became quiet in an instant. The 11 members of the advance party looked at everything in a daze, and their faces were filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. Pairs of arms were already raised, and they were waiting for the moment when the ice fog dispersed to let out a cheer.
The only one who was not affected was Lin Li. When everyone was ready to cheer, Lin Li had already pushed his mental strength to the limit, and let the mental strength that even Andoine was in awe of wrap around the crystal in his hand tightly, and form a unique mana channel around it.
It was a complicated and dangerous task to completely release all of one's mental strength and use it to form a mana channel. The slightest mistake could result in a mana backlash. Even a Legendary-mage had to be careful to prevent any accidents when carrying out such a task.
But now, Lin Li was unusually anxious. He even risked the risk of mana collapsing to release all of his mental strength in an instant in order to complete this mana channel in the shortest time possible.
Because Lin Li knew that he did not have much time left.
Indeed, Lin Li did not guess wrongly. Almost at the moment when the mana channel was formed, there was a crisp sound coming from the ice fog …
The smiles of the 11 members of the advance party immediately froze on their faces.
Then, they saw that the Lich that had been frozen into an ice sculpture suddenly moved. Although it was just a slight tremble, that crisp sound was like a contagious disease, and it instantly became one after another.
Finally, a loud "boom" put an end to everything.
Countless broken pieces of ice splattered and filled everyone's vision. It also made everyone's mood sink. The Lich that floated in the sky was like a ghost. It was still that long Skeletal Staff, still that old and tattered black robe, and even that pale face did not change at all.
The only difference was that there was an additional layer of black fog on the Lich's body. This layer of black fog was not too thick, and was only slightly darker than the color of the robe. It was as if the black robe suddenly had an additional layer of dirt, and if one did not look closely, they would not be able to tell at all.
But in the eyes of a mage like Adelo, this layer of faint black fog was like some horrifying magical beast. This Archmage at the peak of level-17 let out a cry of surprise. "Magical Domain!"
Once a mage broke through level-20 and entered the Legendary-realm, he would gradually let his own magic system become dark, and finally become a Magical Domain that was unique to him.
This was the strongest power of a Legendary-mage.
