The Humerus Wyrm that Lin Li had sealed in the Summoning Lamp could no longer be called a wyrm. It was just an Undead creature with a wyrm's skeleton and a Dragon Crystal. The so-called Menace of the Dragon was formed with the power of the Dragon Crystal and the remnant aura of the wyrm on the skeleton. This Menace of the Dragon could only intimidate creatures of a much lower level. Those of a similar level would not be affected at all.
Fighting in such an environment made Lin Li feel as if his hands and feet were tied up. While resisting the pressure of the Menace of the Dragon, he had to use a few times more energy than usual to mobilize magical elements other than the fire element. For a pure-blooded Crimson Dragon, fire element magic could not cause any harm to it at all. Hence, the abundant fire element was not only useless to Lin Li, but also a huge obstacle.
This was the so-called home advantage. However, Lin Li also had an advantage — he could fly all over the sky, while the poor Crimson Dragon was like an evil dog chained in the yard. No matter how children threw stones at it, it could not do anything beyond the length of the chain. Of course, the Crimson Dragon still had some tricks up its sleeve. At least it could spit.
However, the Crimson Dragon's spit was not only disgusting, but also deadly. Even with Lin Li's Legendary-level strength, the Elemental Protection that he cast could not withstand the attack of the Blazing Dragon's Breath. He could only fly around the Crimson Dragon like a fly.
Stop! Change of direction!
Lin Li's movements could not be considered elegant. In fact, he looked very flustered as he narrowly dodged the Crimson Dragon's Breath. The magic that he cast while dodging could hit the Crimson Dragon's body without missing. However, with the Crimson Dragon's high magic resistance and the suppression of other elements in the environment, it was impossible to inflict any effective damage.
The explosions of magic and the roar of the wyrm echoed in the empty crypt. The situation seemed to have entered a difficult stalemate. No one knew how long this situation could last. Lin Li, who was flying around in the air, seemed to be in danger of being engulfed by the Dragon's Breath at any time.
However, at this moment, the Crimson Dragon on the black stone platform below seemed to be angered. In fact, no matter who it was, it was easy to get angry when there was a fly flying around.
"Roar!"
Following a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the cave, the lava that was slowly flowing around the black stone platform began to boil, and the temperature in the cave suddenly rose. The originally bright yellow lava turned into a dazzling silver-white at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was a sign that the temperature had reached the extreme.
Flame Domain!
The Crimson Dragon raised its head and roared. Powerful magical fluctuations spread out in all directions. The Flame Domain instantly spread out and enveloped the entire crypt. The mirror-like surface of the cave wall, which was originally covered in spiderweb cracks, was once again melted by the high temperature.
The environment here could already be considered a natural Flame Domain. The range and power of the Crimson Dragon's Flame Domain were greatly enhanced in this environment.
The magma around the black stone platform continued to tumble like waves in the sea. Dragons made of silver-white magma flapped their wings and flew into the sky, chasing after Lin Li. Each of the Magma Wyverns was at least level-15, and their bodies were at least 1,000 degrees Celsius hot. One or two of them was nothing, but tens or hundreds of them were quite impressive.
This scene reminded Lin Li of the time when he used the Angels of Light and Dark to besiege the Lord of Darkness in the Throne of Darkness. However, he was now the one being besieged. The only consolation was that the Magma Wyverns were not as beautiful as the Angels of Light and Dark that he had created.
Lin Li held his magic staff and pointed the magical crystal at the top outwards. He swept it horizontally in a circle in front of him, and more than 10 Magma Wyverns that pounced towards him were immediately frozen and fell into the magma river below. However, before the frozen Magma Wyverns could fall into the river, they were melted by the high temperature, and flew up again.
In fact, there was no absolute restraint among the elements that formed Anril. It was not wrong to say that the water element restrained the fire element. However, when the fire element was strong, it was normal for it to restrain the water element. Since the underground magma river flowed here, the fire element was extremely dense, causing the Flame Domain of the Crimson Dragon to be greatly strengthened.
"Damn it, this is its home ground, and yet I can't lure it away!" Lin Li grumbled as he dodged the Magma Wyverns that were chasing after him. Fire magic was useless against the Crimson Dragon, and ice magic was greatly suppressed, making it difficult for him to even cast the Frost Domain. He wanted to lure it somewhere else, but it was chained up. If it could leave, it would have done so long ago. Only a fool would be willing to do hard labor here.
As the direct descendant of the four Dragon Aspects, the Crimson Dragon was born with the Flame Domain. Compared to Lin Li's Frost Domain, the Flame Domain used the basic rules that formed the world. The fire element was the most violent and aggressive element among the few major elements. With such a comparison, the strength of the two domains was obvious. Moreover, the environment here could almost be called a natural Flame Domain. With these conditions added together, the Crimson Dragon that had been chained up for 1,000 years was probably no weaker than a level-24 powerhouse.
"I told you not to provoke it. Anyway, it can't catch up to you. Let's go back and think of another way," Connoris was extremely nervous. Even though he knew that Lin Li wouldn't be killed that easily, he was facing an adult Crimson Dragon after all. In addition to the environment here, the situation was probably even more dangerous than in the Throne of Darkness.
"You also know that it can't catch up to me. I'm going to fight it out with it today. You're chained up, yet you're still so naughty!" Lin Li released a Thousand Miles of Ice, causing the dozens of Magma Wyverns that were chasing after him to fall.
If it were any other Legendary-mage, even if they were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, they wouldn't dare to continue fighting a battle of attrition with a Crimson Dragon in a place with dense fire elements. Only Lin Li could do such a thing. With his insane mental strength, he didn't have to worry about mana exhaustion at all.
Of course, Lin Li didn't really want to fight this Crimson Dragon. Although his mental strength was insane, and he didn't have to worry about mana exhaustion, the Crimson Dragon had the home ground advantage, and wouldn't die so easily. If he really wanted to fight it out, it might take 10 days or half a month. Who knew when it would end?
If he wanted to deal with this Crimson Dragon, he wouldn't be able to rely on brute force. Lin Li's figure shuttled through the air like a bolt of lightning. He was also calculating rapidly in his mind, trying to find a way to get rid of this Crimson Dragon. If others knew what Lin Li was thinking at this moment, they would probably laugh so hard that their jaws would drop. That was simply a fool's dream. Even Connoris, who had witnessed Lin Li's incredible feats so many times, didn't believe that Lin Li could think of a way to get rid of an adult Crimson Dragon. That was a powerful existence that was close to the Sanctuary-realm.
However, people had to come up with ideas. The knowledge in Lin Li's head came into play at this moment. A vague idea emerged in his mind, and after a lot of calculations, it gradually became clear.
However, the Crimson Dragon obviously didn't stop there. Apart from the Magma Wyverns continuously rising into the sky, the lava river below became increasingly golden, just like a river of gold. A huge whirlpool gradually appeared on the surface of the river. The golden whirlpool looked like a marvelous sight. However, as beautiful as it was, there was a great power brewing within it. The fire element in the entire space became increasingly violent in an instant, and everything was twisting.
"Sigh, be careful, it's Dragon Language Magic." Connoris stopped trying to persuade Lin Li, and only reminded him weakly.
Dragon Language Magic was the innate magic of the Wyrms. At the same time, it was also one of the oldest magic in the world. It was almost the same as the ancient demonic runes that Connoris mentioned. However, ancient did not mean primitive. Instead, it was more concise than the spells of the High Elves and human languages. It was a more direct understanding and application of the elemental rules.
As a direct descendant of the Dragon Aspect, the Dragon Language Magic used by this Crimson Dragon was purer, and closer to the essence of magic and the origin of elemental power.
The huge whirlpools on the lava river seemed to have a life of their own. They first caved in, and then suddenly swelled up. From the center of the whirlpool, dazzling silver balls were spat out. The speed was far faster than the Magma Wyverns, and they were simply like cannonballs. While dodging, Lin Li glanced at the top of the cave, and suddenly remembered a game that he played before he transmigrated — paintball shooting. The balls of fire elemental cannonballs hit the top of the cave, and immediately splattered in all directions, turning into a rain of fire that fell down.
Lin Li was like a mosquito that shuttled through the magma cannonballs. Although the process was extremely thrilling, with his superb flying skills, not even the corner of his clothes was touched. However, while dodging, he began to do something that seemed a little boring, and that was to continuously use magic to hit the balls of magma that were shot at him. Sometimes, he would attack those that were shot at him, and sometimes, he would attack those that were far away from him. This made Connoris confused.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and leave? If you want to practice magic, you can't do it anywhere," Connoris shouted.
"Shut up, you will find out soon." Lin Li did not explain further, and continued to do what he was doing stubbornly.
Although the Crimson Dragon was chained up, it was the master of this world of fire. Gradually, the entire cave was almost covered with a layer of magma. From the top of the cave to the side of the cave, only magma could be seen flowing down slowly, and it looked as if the cave had been melted.
This was because the Rules of Light and Darkness relied on the Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, and not Lin Li's own understanding and mastery. Hence, only with the Frost Domain as the foundation could the power of Light and Darkness be guided, and create a Magical Domain of Frost, Light, and Darkness. However, in this world of fire, as long as he used his Frost Domain, countless Magma Wyverns and magma cannonballs would swarm over before the ice crystals started to condense, and before the snowflakes could even fall. They would use a large amount of fire element to instantly melt his Frost Domain into nothingness. In that case, even with his huge mental strength, he could not guarantee that he would not be affected by the collapse of the domain.
Hence, Lin Li was not in a hurry to use his Magical Domain, and instead used very ordinary ice element magic to attack the Crimson Dragon that was restricted in movement. Rather than saying that he was attacking, it would be more accurate to say that he was provoking the Crimson Dragon to continuously attack him with fire element magic. It looked like he was a little disheveled as he was being chased around by the Crimson Dragon's fire magic, but everything was under his control.
On the ground, the Crimson Dragon's magic seemed to be endless, and it was chasing after Lin Li's figure in the air. However, when Lin Li was still an Archmage, he had almost mastered the effects of the Power of Flight with only the Levitation Spell. Now that he was a real Legendary-mage, his Power of Flight was many times stronger than other Legendary-mages. His body shuttled back and forth in the air, and he made all kinds of difficult movements, causing the Crimson Dragon's spells to miss. After a long time, not even the edges of his clothes were touched.
Just like that, one flew in the air, and the other shot arrows from the ground. This stalemate lasted for almost two days. Perhaps the Crimson Dragon was finally tired of this boring shooting game, and the frequency of the spells that it shot at Lin Li seemed to have started to decrease.
Lin Li's sharp senses sensed this, and he shouted in his heart, "Here's my chance!" His body suddenly descended, and he closed in on the Crimson Dragon. He held his magic staff tightly with both hands, and the magical crystal at the top emitted a dazzling light. At an extremely fast speed, he chanted an extremely compressed spell in a sharp voice. A Thousand Miles of Ice, A Thousand Miles of Ice …
In the short span of less than a minute, Lin Li used his massive and almost limitless mental strength and insane method of spell compression to continuously cast more than 100 Thousand Miles of Ice. To the Crimson Dragon, a single Thousand Miles of Ice might not be much, but when hundreds of them were stacked together, the sudden drop in temperature caused its Flame Domain to fall apart in an instant.
In that instant, the temperature plummeted, and the golden lava that was flowing slowly stopped flowing, turning into black rocks. Not only did the entire cave lose its temperature, but the solidification of the lava and the extinguishment of the flames also caused the cave to lose its light, turning it pitch-black.
With the strong physique of a wyrm, the backlash of magic would not cause much harm to it, but the backlash of the domain was something even a wyrm could not withstand. As the Flame Domain collapsed, the Crimson Dragon let out a mournful cry, and the chains on its wings rattled.
Lin Li knew that this situation would not last long. Only the surface of the lava was solidified, and the fire element would soon regain its dominant position. By then, with the physique of the Crimson Dragon, it would only take the blink of an eye for it to recover. However, just a moment was enough. The Magical Domain of Ice, Light, and Darkness was instantly opened, and the Crimson Dragon and the black stone platform were enveloped in it.
