"I might be in the mood to listen to you, but that Greater Demon might not be in the mood …"
"Greater … Greater Demon?" Stephen's heart tightened. After looking around for a long time, he muttered guiltily, "What Greater Demon? Don't think that I'll be afraid of you just because you made up some Greater Demon. I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Save your grudges for when you visit the grave …" Lin Li did not even look at Stephen. He immediately cast a Levitation Spell, and flew towards the sky above the forest at an alarming speed!
"Let's get out of here first." Hutton raised his head to look at Lin Li as he recited the Levitation Spell.
"Do you really believe that there is a Greater Demon in this place?" Stephen stared at Hutton, dumbfounded. At that moment, he felt that this genius mage who was on par with him was a stranger. Hutton had never behaved like this in the past. He was always calm and collected. Even Stephen's father had told him that Hutton would be his greatest opponent in the Breezy Plains in the future.
However, the current Hutton was no longer the same as before. He believed everything that Felic said without a doubt. Even in the situation just now, when Felic wanted to use the Azteks to get rid of Stephen and Hutton, Hutton still stood by that fella's side.
"Actually, Stephen …" After hearing Stephen's words, Hutton, who was about to soar into the sky, suddenly stopped. He stared at Stephen for a minute. "I think you'd better believe what Mage Felic said. At least before we find the palace, there is no need for Mage Felic to deal with us. But then again, if Mage Felic really wants to deal with us, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to find the palace. There are always some people in this world that you will never understand …"
After saying that, Hutton also flew into the sky …
In fact, Hutton's words were not meant for Stephen to hear, but rather, it was meant for himself.
The shock that the battle had given Hutton was indescribable. It was the first time Hutton had seen Lin Li in action, and it was also the first time that Hutton felt that there were monsters in this world that he could not understand. Before this, no matter how much Adelo talked about it, no matter how pitiful the fate of the Syer Bandits was, Hutton had always felt that if he worked harder and worked harder, he might be able to have such abilities.
This time, however, Hutton saw with his own eyes that a dozen Azteks above level-18 were like puppets in the hands of the young President of the Guild of Magic. They were all killed within a few minutes. Hutton suddenly understood that no matter how hard he worked or how hard he worked, he would never be able to make up for the huge gap between him and Lin Li, even if he were to exhaust his entire life.
This difference was not only reflected in magical power, but also in the feeling that he could not win. That was how Hutton felt about the young President of the Guild of Magic. From the start to the end of the battle, all the key factors seemed to have been taken into consideration by Lin Li, and he made use of them almost perfectly. The more than 10 level-18 Azteks were like puppets in the hands of Lin Li. They would do whatever he wanted them to do.
Hutton remembered that on the day he broke through to the Archmage realm, Teacher Cheyenne had told him that the strongest thing about a mage was not magical power, but the brain.
At that time, Hutton did not understand what that meant. But now, Hutton understood that a mage who could control everything perfectly was almost invincible.
Even if this young President had not reached the realm that Teacher Cheyenne had mentioned, he was not far from it …
Magical power could be increased, and magical realm could be broken through. However, there was no way to imitate this innate talent. Thinking back to the battle just now, Hutton asked himself if he could master the technique to make the Azteks kill each other, and if he had the powerful magical power of President Felic, he would not be able to achieve such a perfect result.
"I hope Stephen can be smarter …" Hutton could not help but laugh after saying that …
Hutton knew very well that Stephen would never understand how terrifying President Felic was. This was the difference between the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade. The Malfa Family knew better than the Dark Blade when it came to trade-offs. If they could not defeat their enemy, they would think of ways to become his friend. On the other hand, if they could not defeat their enemy head-on, they might as well use other means …
Of course, Hutton did not expect Stephen to really understand. The reason why he reminded him was that he did not want to be implicated by Stephen's foolish behavior. As for whether Stephen was really that foolish, Hutton did not have much interest in it.
"An existence that cannot be understood? I'd like to see if there's really such a powerful person in this world who can't even understand the Dark Holy Spell … "Stephen muttered to himself with a cold expression as he watched Hutton leave. He slowly took out Reid's right hand from his pocket, and cast a Levitation Spell to fly above the forest.
The forest stretched for thousands of miles, and there seemed to be no end to it. Even if Lin Li forcefully distorted his mental strength and increased the speed of the Levitation Spell to the maximum, it still took him more than an hour to fly to the edge of the forest.
After confirming that the terrifying aura had completely disappeared, Lin Li finally slowed down and waited for Hutton to catch up from afar.
What he said just now was really not to scare Stephen …
Lin Li was at least 80% sure that there was a Greater Demon in this forest, and this Greater Demon was at least level-21. Although Lin Li did not go deep into the Abyss of Tharlen when he was in the Endless World, he had collected a lot of information about it. Some of them were about the Soul Walkers. Legend had it that the shape of the Soul Walkers was similar to that of a cloud. Apart from the core of the Abyss where the heart was, the rest of the body was made up of incomparably powerful mental strength. They were born with mental strength that was above the level of a Magic Shooter, and were adept at all kinds of Spiritual Magic. Their control of Spiritual Power was even more terrifying than that of a Priest above level-15.
If the Azteks were said to be the demons at the bottom of the Abyss, then the Soul Walkers were undoubtedly the nobles among the demons. They had the ability of at least level-15 the moment they were born. This was no joke. There were a total of 99 levels in the Endless Abyss, and there were countless types of demons. However, no matter how Lin Li thought about it, he could not think of many demons like the Soul Walkers who were born with such terrifying power. This was comparable to the High Elves in the past.
However …
The Soul Walkers had a fatal weakness, and that was that it was too difficult to break through to level-20. In the entire Endless World, he had never heard of anyone meeting a Soul Walker above level-20.
No, no, no, it seemed to be a …
However, this Legendary Soul Walker only existed in the library of Bright Moon City. Back when Lin Li was collecting information about the Abyss of Tharlen, he had stayed in the library for a few days. There, Lin Li had read an encyclopedia of Abyssal Demons. This encyclopedia recorded the existence of a Legendary Soul Walker. This Legendary Soul Walker was called Mephistos. He was once the lord of the Abyss of Tharlen, and his ability was at least level-21.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, this Legendary Soul Walker suddenly disappeared. It was as if he had suddenly evaporated from the Abyss of Tharlen. The author of the encyclopedia of Abyssal Demons had made some guesses. One of them was related to Azardas. The incarnation of the Dragon of Destruction had descended into the Abyss of Tharlen, and defeated and killed Mephistos, the former lord of the Abyss of Tharlen.
However, it seemed that …
It was possible that he had defeated Mephistos, but it might not be the case that he had killed him.
Lin Li was almost 100% sure that the terrifying Soul Energy just now came from a Soul Walker. In the entire Abyss of Tharlen, only a Legendary-level Soul Walker could emit a power that even Lin Li was afraid of. Perhaps this Legendary-level Soul Walker was actually Mephistos himself …
This was not a joke. Although Lin Li could go against ordinary Legendary-level powerhouses now, he would most likely die if he really met a terrifying existence like Mephistos. After all, it was the former lord of the Abyss of Tharlen. Even if it was not as powerful as the incarnation of the Dragon of Destruction, it was still far from what Lin Li could go against.
"Mage Felic, can I ask you a question …?" Just as Lin Li was secretly thinking, Hutton had already caught up to him from behind.
"What question?" After the battle just now, Lin Li's impression of the heir of the Malfa Family had improved greatly. Although it was not to the extent that he had forgotten the conflict just now, he could at least chat with him for a while. After all, compared to Stephen, Hutton was considered a smart person.
"Was there really a Greater Demon in that forest just now?"
"Yes …" Lin Li stared at Hutton for a long time before nodding his head heavily. "A Greater Demon that is far more powerful than you can imagine …"
