The scene in the square had turned black and white. The Crimson Dragon had turned into a black dragon, and the flames that it was spewing out had turned into white flames. The treants that were still leaping into the air were already charred black before they were even burned by the flames. Although the battle in the black and white world seemed rather monotonous compared to the colorful and gorgeous scenes from before, it was an indescribable novelty to the spectators who had never seen a black and white world before.
Before Lin Li released the Light and Darkness Domain, the treants that had been destroyed by the Crimson Dragon and the grass that had been plowed by the dragon flames had all recovered in the blink of an eye. However, in this black and white world, it was obvious that the recovery ability of the Nature Domain had been greatly reduced. That made William gradually relax his frown. With William's eyesight, he could naturally tell that Lin Li's life was at least not in danger.
"How about it? Continue to bet. Is there no more bets? Hey, old gambler, you'd better keep a close eye on the bets. If anything goes wrong, I'll bring my men to your casinos every day, "Sienna yelled excitedly. He couldn't help but be excited, because the bets of those who had bet with him had already reached more than 7,000,000 gold coins. In his opinion, although the 7,000,000 gold coins hadn't been paid to him yet, they were just temporarily placed in the hands of others.
Hearing Sienna's yelling, the others no longer mocked him like before. Instead, they looked at the center of the square nervously, praying that the elf named Vidas wouldn't let them down. Initially, they had thought that there was no suspense in the outcome, and thus had the intention of teasing Sienna. Hence, all of them had placed their bets rather fiercely, thinking that the money would still be theirs in the end. However, looking at the current situation, all of them were filled with regret. They had really outsmarted themselves.
Wilkinson and the rest looked at the figure standing on the back of the black dragon in the middle of the square with admiration in their eyes. Who could believe that he was only 20 years old? Who could imagine that he had already reached the Master-level in pharmaceutics? There was no conflict between a pharmaceutics Master and a Legendary-mage, and it could even be said to be a very normal phenomenon. However, everything became so unbelievable when it happened to a young man who had just turned 20.
Wilkinson was increasingly grateful to his teacher for sending him to the Tower of Dusk back then. This training was simply an opportunity for him to rise to the top in a single step. If not for that, he might still be praised by many people in the Pharmacist Guild, but he would still be an intermediate pharmacist.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but their eyes were fixed on the sky above the square. They were paying attention to the monotonous but intense battle, as if they didn't want to miss a single moment. Suddenly, everyone felt like they were seeing things. The black and white scene flashed a few times, as if people were naturally blinking. Many rubbed their eyes forcefully at the same time, only to find that the flickering eyes getting faster.
Vidas finally launched a counterattack. No matter how peculiar Lin Li's Magical Domain was, the difference in levels was not that easy to overcome. The Nature Magical Domain flashed in the eyes of the onlookers, and the time that the green color stayed between black and white was gradually increasing. Even those who weren't clear about the situation could tell that Vidas was gradually regaining the upper hand.
However, when Vidas devoted all his energy to fighting against the Light and Darkness Domain, he was actually only fighting against the two pieces of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. The real enemy, Lin Li, was like a bystander who didn't suffer much pressure from Vidas at all. That was the opportunity that Lin Li had been waiting for. Since Holy Light and Gloomy Dark had restrained all of Vidas' energy, it wouldn't be easy for him to withdraw from the battle.
The Summoning Lamp in Lin Li's hand glowed, and the Lord of Nightmares that had been sealed in the Summoning Lamp was summoned. The Lord of Nightmares had only been used by Lin Li to deal with a few mercenaries sent by Harvey in the Blackstone Mountains. However, it was, after all, a real Demon Lord. Hence, the Lord of Nightmares shouldn't be underestimated.
However, after the Lord of Nightmares appeared, it didn't pounce on Vidas directly. Instead, its entire body seemed to have been blown away like smoke, and it became larger and larger before spreading out into the surrounding space. Lin Li, who had put away the Summoning Lamp, took over the control of the Light and Darkness Domain again, and exerted greater pressure on Vidas, forcing him to be unable to split his energy to deal with other changes.
The Lord of Nightmares had completely lost its original form, and its body had integrated into the Light and Darkness Domain. It turned into a faint hazy fog that slowly expanded in the Light and Darkness Domain. No one noticed that the hazy fog that the Lord of Nightmares had transformed into had expanded and was gradually approaching Vidas, who was standing on the tree crown, with the first flicker between the colorful world and the black-and-white world.
When the entire scene stopped flashing, and the black and white world froze again, people were shocked to discover that a thick fog had already engulfed the place where Vidas was standing. The fog didn't stop spreading because of that. Instead, after the Light and Darkness Domain stabilized, it spread rapidly throughout the entire domain.
"It's finally not flashing anymore!" Many people in the spectator stands covered their foreheads and groaned. The frequent flashes of color and black and white just now made some of the weaker spectators feel dizzy and nauseous. They even thought that they had been cursed by some magic. Now that the monotonous black and white world froze, they finally felt a little better, and their worries were slightly relieved.
Up until now, these people didn't understand anything at all apart from being dazzled by the flashes. A battle between Legendary powerhouses couldn't be understood just by relying on some rumors or biographies. Those who hadn't reached the Legendary-realm would still be confused by what others said.
Not to mention the ordinary people, even the knowledgeable Appraisal Master William couldn't figure out what was going on. Arathor's lips moved, but he didn't dare to ask William. He could only look at the center of the square with a complicated expression.
Everyone was paying attention to the square, but there was actually nothing in the square. There was no trace of Vidas, nor were there any lush trees in the Nature Domain. There was only thick fog.
"Hmph, what a joke. Do you think you can defeat me just like that?" Vidas sneered in the fog. The sudden change didn't affect his confidence at all. In a disdainful tone, he said, "The difference between level-20 and level-22 can't be bridged. I admit that you're very capable and resourceful. You've already stepped into the Legendary-realm at such a young age. However, don't forget that there are differences in the Legendary-realm too. With your current abilities, you can't control such a complicated domain at all. Give up. If you go on like this, you'll only be hurt by your own domain, and I won't be affected at all. "
Vidas' voice sounded, and the people in the spectator stands almost jumped up and cheered. Although they didn't know much about the Legendary-realm, Master Vidas had made it very clear. Everyone probably knew what the difference in levels meant.
However, Lin Li didn't respond to Vidas, nor did he stop what he was doing. The fog in the Light and Darkness Domain continued to roll, and it didn't become thinner because of the expansion of the scope. Instead, it became thicker and thicker, making it impossible for anyone to see through it. While the onlookers watched in bewilderment, the fog rolled and expanded until Lin Li was completely engulfed in it.
Everyone in the spectator stands continued to stare at the center of the square in a daze, because it was like a crystal jar filled with thick smoke.
The Lord of Nightmares was originally the Demon Lord of the Abyss, but he was defeated by the Magic Legion led by the Highlord Osric of the High Elves, and sealed in the Summoning Lamp. According to Connoris, there were actually 12 Summoning Lamps, which Osric had originally intended to use as weapons for the Eternal Furnace. However, before the Eternal Furnace was completed, the High Elves' rule was completely overthrown, and the 12 Summoning Lamps disappeared.
The one in Lin Li's hand was given to him as a congratulatory gift by Englos of the Brilliance Shrine when he was appointed as the President of the Guild of Magic. However, he didn't take it for nothing. Pope Rosario had been poisoned by the prehistoric viper, and it wasn't easy to formulate an antidote.
Although the Lord of Nightmares was only a Demon Lord of the first few floors of the Abyss, he still had Legendary-level power. However, after being sealed by Osric, his power also fell from the Legendary-realm. Although Lin Li was the owner of the Summoning Lamp, he couldn't completely control the power of the Lord of Nightmares. Every time he summoned it, he would only borrow a part of the power of the Lord of Nightmares.
Lin Li's summoning of the Lord of Nightmares this time was more like releasing the seal on the Lord of Nightmares. After all, Vidas was a level-22 Legendary-mage, and summoning the incarnation of the Lord of Nightmares wouldn't help at all.
After the Lord of Nightmares integrated into the Light and Darkness Domain, the power that it had lost due to being sealed was immediately restored, and its power increased exponentially. In fact, it was even stronger than when it was at its peak. Endless dreams were conjured, and Lin Li and Vidas were instantly immersed in them. The power was not very domineering, but it was pervasive, making them unable to resist it at all.
The onlookers in the spectator stands stared at the center of the square in a daze, but they couldn't see anything except for the jar of smoke. Besides, after hearing Vidas' words, there was no movement for a long time, and no one knew what was happening inside.
