At this time, the bandits were on the verge of breaking down. The most despairing thing in this world was not a demon who killed without batting an eye, but a cockroach that could not be killed no matter what. Just like Lin Li, who had killed more than a hundred people at the start. Although he had frightened the entire Syer Bandits, it was not enough to make them break down completely. This was because they knew that Lin Li was terrifyingly powerful, and there was no chance for them to escape. Their only option was to fight him to the death.
However, when the bandits realized that they could not hurt Lin Li no matter how hard they tried, their determination began to waver …
The feeling of futility was like a terrible contagious disease that quickly infected almost everyone. The bandits began to panic and despair, and began to think of ways to escape. If not for Vanskore's influence, the remaining two hundred or so bandits would have turned into a bunch of headless flies.
However, even Vanskore could not stop the bandits from breaking down.
Finally, a cloud of black smoke became the straw that broke the camel's back.
As Lin Li channeled his mental strength into the oil lamp, a cloud of black smoke filled the air. Then, the space at the foot of the hill started to distort strangely. Before anyone could understand what magic it was, an earth-shattering dragon roar shook the whole world …
"Oh my God!"
"Monster, the monster is here …"
"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this!"
"Run, brothers …"
The Humerus Wyrm that was tens of meters long took up half the hill when it appeared. Then, it spread its bony wings and took up the other half of the hill. Apart from Vanskore, the stronger bandits were only level-15, and the weaker ones were only level-10. None of them had seen something as terrifying as the Humerus Wyrm before.
The bandits who initially wanted to hold on for a while broke down completely after the appearance of the Humerus Wyrm. All of a sudden, cries for help filled the air, and the 200-odd bandits were completely scared out of their wits. They dropped their weapons and turned to run, afraid that the terrifying monster would catch up to them if they were too slow.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they ran, how could they outrun the ice flames of the Humerus Wyrm?
After that earth-shattering roar, the Humerus Wyrm opened its mouth, and in an instant, ice flames swept across the hillside …
The ice flames of the Humerus Wyrm were so powerful that even a level-17 Archmage like Adelo almost died from it, what more these level-10 bandits? A faint blue light swept across the hillside, and then, dozens of ice sculptures appeared on the hillside.
This was a pure massacre. The level-20 Humerus Wyrm was truly invincible here, and even the level-18 Vanskore would not be able to withstand a sneeze from the Humerus Wyrm, much less a normal bandit. Furthermore, Vanskore could not do anything at this point, as he was already restrained by Lin Li's Gravity Spell.
Although Vanskore was also a level-18 powerhouse, he did not even have a chance to retaliate against Lin Li before he was restrained by the Gravity Spell. This was not surprising, as Lin Li had indeed become terrifyingly powerful. The battle at the Scar of Death had given him a lot of benefits. Although his strength was only that of a level-19 Archmage, he was already comparable to a Legendary-mage in many aspects. Coupled with his terrifying mana and mental strength, Lin Li was only one step away from the Legendary-realm.
In terms of combat power, Lin Li was definitely the strongest person below the Legendary-realm in the whole of Anril. Furthermore, this was only in terms of his own combat power. If he used the powers of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, he might even be able to put up a fight against a Legendary-realm powerhouse …
Such power was no longer something that Vanskore could contend with. A level-18 Warrior would only have to expend a little more effort in front of Lin Li.
"Good evening, Mr Vanskore. I did not expect that we would meet under such circumstances …" After restraining Vanskore with the Gravity Spell, Lin Li was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he started chatting with the bandit leader with great interest.
"What … What do you want?" Vanskore had completely lost his composure now that more than half of his subordinates had died, and he was restrained by a damned spell.
After personally witnessing the terrifying power of this young mage, Vanskore was filled with regret.
If he had known that this would be the outcome, he would not have sent people to harass Black Clouds Town even if he had to die of poverty. It was laughable that after hearing the report from his subordinates, he had only treated Lin Li as a promising young mage, and even wanted to rope him into the Syer Bandits.
Now that he thought about it, he had really been blinded by Lin Li. When 30 of his subordinates were killed, he should have known that this young mage was not someone to be trifled with. Why did he not realize this problem then? Now that he had volunteered to help Hutton kill him, he finally witnessed the terrifying power of this young mage. It was a pity that he had to pay a heavy price — more than 300 elites of the Syer Bandits had been wiped out. Even if he could return from the Blackstone Mountains alive, the Syer Bandits would no longer be one of the top 10 bandit groups in the Breezy Plains …
"Don't be so nervous, Mr Vanskore. I just want something from you …"
"What is it?" Vanskore's heart skipped a beat, and his originally dim gaze lit up. Actually, Vanskore knew that he had met a ruthless person from the start of the battle — this mage was definitely the most ruthless he had ever seen. Although he was young, he was merciless when it came to killing people, and was an experienced executioner. Vanskore did not think that he could survive being in the hands of such a person.
But now, from the meaning of his words, it seemed that he wanted to obtain something from him …
This discovery made Vanskore heave a sigh of relief. It would be much easier if he only wanted something. Although he was just a bandit leader, he had accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the years, and could give a satisfactory answer whether it was money or equipment. If the other party was still not satisfied, he could even hand over all his wealth. That was alright, as staying alive was more important than anything else …
As long as he was alive, he would be able to get his wealth back sooner or later.
In fact, he did not even have to wait too long. As long as he could return to the Dragon Mountains alive, he would agree to Master Lucin's conditions. As long as Master Lucin was willing to help, he would be able to get back everything he had lost in the Blackstone Mountains, including the life of this young mage …
"Actually, it's not anything important …" Lin Li had no idea what was on Vanskore's mind. In fact, he was not interested in finding out, either. It was not like he had nothing better to do. Who would want to know what a dead man was thinking?
"Don't worry, as long as I, Vanskore, am able to get it, I will give it to you without hesitation. As long as you let me go, I can even give you the entire Dragon Mountains. There's a treasure vault that I've been managing for more than ten years there, and the wealth in there is enough to buy half of Doland …" Vanskore added urgently, as if afraid that Lin Li would change his mind.
"Alright, since Mr Vanskore is so generous, I will tell you the truth. It's like this: I have my eyes on your bandits, but I have no choice since I have been forced to become the president of some guild. There are many things that I can't do myself, so I need some help. However, there is a problem. As you know, your subordinates are very loyal to you, and might not listen to me, so I would like to discuss with you to see if I can use your death to intimidate them …"
"You …" Vanskore's expression changed, and a powerful burst of Battle Energy was released in an attempt to break free from the Gravity Spell. Unfortunately, Vanskore's struggle came too late, and a blood-red vine had already crept up his neck almost at the same time as he released his Battle Energy …
The powerful Combat Energy of a level-18 Warrior could not defeat a small blood-vine in the end.
The greatest threat to Roland City, the leader of one of the top 10 bandit groups of the Breezy Plains, had fallen to a small blood-vine just like that …
When Vanskore breathed his last, the massacre on the hill came to an end as well. Only 10 of the 300 bandits made it back alive, and even then, they only managed to leave the Blackstone Mountains alive because of Lin Li's orders to the Humerus Wyrm.
This was because Lin Li needed someone to bring this news back to the Dragon Mountains.
As for the uproar it would cause in the Dragon Mountains, that was not Lin Li's concern. He had more important things to do now.
"Hey, it's daybreak, wake up …" After completely defeating the Syer Bandits, Lin Li did not rush back to the Malfa Family's campsite. Instead, he kicked the unlucky bandit who had fallen beside him.
"Ah …" Lin Li kicked him a few times, and the unlucky bandit finally woke up. However, because he had been unconscious for a while, his eyes were still dazed when he woke up.
Of course, this blankness didn't last long, because he quickly realized who had kicked him awake …
The unlucky bandit's face turned pale the moment he saw Lin Li. "It's, it's … it's you!"
"Why, you know me?"
At this moment, the unlucky bandit didn't even dare to look at that terrifying smiling face. He buried his head deeply and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. After a short hesitation, he chose to speak the truth. "Yes … Yes."
"Tell me about it."
"In Black Clouds Town, you took off my pants …"
"…"
