Moreover, he had seen the battle between the two of them when he was hiding in the forest. Although that Felic was very strong, and was evenly matched with Sendros, his mental strength was severely depleted. If Sendros had not patted him on the shoulder affectionately after landing from the sky, and had released a spell instead, he would have become a corpse long ago.
The difference between level-19 and level-20 was not something that could be made up for with strong mental strength. How could Adelo not know this? Why would he say such childish words? Could it be that he had encountered too many dangers in the Scar of Death, and there were some problems with his mental strength?
"Nothing is impossible …" Adelo knew that Hutton did not believe him, but after thinking about it carefully, everything that he had experienced in the Scar of Death was indeed unbelievable. Hence, he did not force it, and only explained slowly. "At the start, my thoughts were similar to yours. I thought that a young mage in his twenties would not be able to do anything to us. Even if there were any problems, I could easily suppress him with my abilities. However, I soon realized that I was wrong. It was because we met a large group of Vampires …"
"A large group of Vampires? Didn't Teacher Cheyenne say that the Undead creatures in the Scar of Death were almost wiped out? "
"Teacher Cheyenne was wrong." Adelo shook his head. "In these 20 years, not only did the Undead creatures in the Scar of Death not get wiped out, but there were more and more of them. Furthermore, there seemed to be a mysterious force in the Scar of Death that made these Undead creatures stronger without them realizing it. The Skeletal Warriors there had the combat power of around level-8, and the Vampires we met had even reached a terrifying level-13 …"
"This …" Hutton frowned. If someone else had said this, Hutton would most likely have scoffed. He might even have thought that the other party was taking revenge for offending Teacher Cheyenne. However, the person who said this was Adelo, so Hutton had to treat it seriously …
Adelo had started following Teacher Cheyenne when he was only a teenager, and it had been more than 20 years since then. In terms of loyalty, even Lin Li was ashamed of his own inferiority. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Teacher Cheyenne said it, he would not hesitate to die. If he said that Teacher Cheyenne was wrong, then Teacher Cheyenne was most likely really wrong …
However, level-8 Skeletal Warriors and level-13 Vampires were too unbelievable. It was true that Undead creatures could level up. As long as they kept devouring soul fire, they would break through their limits sooner or later. For example, the Skeletal Lord, one of the three powerhouses in the Shadowglen, grew from a Skeletal Warrior. However, how many Skeletal Lords were there in the entire Anril? An ordinary Skeletal Warrior would only become stronger after devouring soul fire. If they really wanted to break through their limits, they would have to devour countless Undead creatures that were of the same level as them. Such a lucky person might only appear in one in 10,000 Skeletal Warriors. How could it be like what Adelo said, that the entire mountain was filled with Undead creatures that had broken through their limits?
"Furthermore, other than the Vampires, there were also many Death Knights. The strongest among them had even broken through level-18. At that time, I really thought that we were done for. With so many Vampires and Death Knights, even if they could not kill us, they would tire us to death. However, at that moment, Mage Felic made his move. He used a level-21 spell to eliminate all the Vampires …"
"Level … Level 21!" Hutton jumped up in shock.
"That's right, level-21 Eternal Light Spell."
"I … I don't believe it!"
Hutton felt that he was going crazy. It was already ridiculous for a 20-year-old mage to reach level-19. How could he even cast a level-21 spell? This could not be true. Adelo must have been agitated by something in the Scar of Death to say something that lacked common sense. That's right, that must be it!
"I didn't believe it then, either, but it was the truth. A level-21 Eternal Light Spell killed hundreds of Vampires in an instant, and made a bunch of Death Knights his subordinates … Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you. When we left the Scar of Death, Mage Felic also brought the Death Knights out. The weakest among them was at least level-15, and the strongest was at level-18 …"
"What the hell …" Hutton sucked in a breath of cold air.
"That's why I said that Vanskore's sneak attack was too stupid. Even if Mage Felic did not attack personally, the Death Knights alone could have killed them all in 10 minutes."
"What happened after that?"
"After that, we entered that cave, and met a Lich and the Humerus Wyrm that the Lich had summoned at the place that Teacher Cheyenne mentioned …"
Adelo recounted everything from when they found the altar to when the Lich fell from the sky. That battle was full of ups and downs, and there were all sorts of exciting scenes. Furthermore, he had to answer Hutton's questions from time to time. He talked until the sky turned dark, and only then did he tell Adelo about what the advance party had encountered in the Scar of Death.
"To be honest, I was really shocked this time. Even though we've been in the Scar of Death together for so many days, I still don't know how strong this Mage Felic is. He has too many secrets. Every time I thought I knew him, he would give me an even bigger surprise. Casting a level-21 spell and forcefully grasping Legendary-realm power … I'm even starting to wonder if there's anything in this world that he can't do …"
"That's only because he hasn't met anyone stronger than him …"
"I know what you're trying to say …" Adelo smiled helplessly. The two of them had known each other for more than 10 years, so how could Adelo not know what Hutton was thinking? "Do you think that if Sendros was on your side, Mage Felic would already be dead?"
"Is that not the case?"
"You think that because you only saw Sendros, and not the Humerus Wyrm. I was standing behind Mage Felic at that time, and I saw very clearly that when Sendros fell from the sky, Mage Felic was already holding onto the oil lamp that could summon the Humerus Wyrm. However, the most important thing was Mage Felic's other hand. I don't know where that hand is hidden, but I do know that whenever Mage Felic hides his hand, something unbelievable will happen. For example, a level-21 Eternal Light Spell, or a sudden Legendary power … Anyway, I dare to bet my life that if Sendros dared to make a move, the one who would die would be him and not Mage Felic."
Hutton did not say anything after hearing that. He only stared at Adelo, as if he wanted to see the real background of that Felic from his eyes.
There was silence in the tent for 10 minutes before Hutton said with difficulty, "Senior Brother, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but what you said is really hard to believe. Why don't you return to Aminya first and see what Teacher Cheyenne has to say?"
At this point, Hutton finally revealed a hint of concern on his face. "Oh, yes, Senior Brother. When you were at the Scar of Death, were you attacked by any mental spells …?"
"Forget it, I know you won't believe me …" Adelo shook his head helplessly. How could he not understand what Hutton meant? He wanted him to return to Aminya City now so that he would not interfere with the operation in the Blackstone Mountains.
But forget it. Since he had already obtained the map of the Immortal King's treasure, he could report to Teacher Cheyenne.
"I will return to Aminya tomorrow …" After saying that, Adelo could not help but remind Hutton, "Hutton, don't ever attack Mage Felic again. Vanskore is already dead, and Sendros is just a misunderstanding. Based on my understanding of him, he should not hold it against you. But if you attack him again, he might not even give you a chance to regret it …"
"Yes, I will be careful." Hutton nodded in agreement.
Actually, even if Adelo did not remind him, Hutton did not have the intention to attack Felic for the time being. At least before Sendros left, Hutton did not have the guts to do so. Now, even a fool would know that Sendros had a close relationship with Felic. If he angered this Legendary-realm Necromancer, he would not even have a chance to regret it.
As for that Felic, there would be plenty of opportunities, so there was no need to rush.
…
"That fella wants to kill you …" When he said this, Sendros' tone was rather casual. It was as if he was saying that someone wanted to borrow some money from him.
"I knew it long ago …" Lin Li pursed his lips with a look of indifference.
Based on their tone, no one would have thought that they were talking about murder and arson. Of course, no one would have thought that the "fella" they were talking about was the first heir of the Malfa Family, Hutton, who was known as the most promising mage in the Breezy Plains.
It could not be helped. The way people like Sendros thought was different from ordinary people. To him, there was no need to worry about such things. If Hutton wanted to attack Felic, he could just kill him. If the Malfa Family was unhappy, he could just destroy the Malfa Family as well.
As for the favor that he owed Cheyenne, he could just find an opportunity to return it. How could such a small matter be compared to Felic's safety? After all, Felic was the most outstanding pharmaceutics genius in the history of Anril. It was very likely that he would break through to the Guru-realm within 10 years. He was a person destined to change the history of pharmaceutics. A mere Malfa Family was not even worth mentioning compared to such a person.
