Lin Li had to admit that it was an extremely dangerous gamble. He was putting himself and Vidas in the same dangerous situation. Although the Summoning Lamp was in his hands, the influence of the Summoning Lamp would be greatly reduced when the power of the Lord of Nightmares reached its peak. However, it was indeed the best way to deal with Vidas at this juncture.
Lin Li had just broken through to level-21, and the difference between him and Vidas, who was level-22, could be considered insurmountable. Even though Lin Li had summoned the Crimson Dragon and had the help of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, the difference of two levels in the Legendary-realm was still an insurmountable gap.
Hence, Lin Li not only released the seal on the Lord of Nightmares, but also controlled the Light and Darkness Domain to allow the Lord of Nightmares to absorb power. From a summoned creature that had fallen from the Legendary-realm, it climbed all the way to the level-22 Legendary-realm. Although the power of the Lord of Nightmares was the same as that of the elven mage Vidas at this juncture, the characteristics of the Lord of Nightmares and the combination of the Light and Darkness Domain made Vidas unable to put up any resistance at all.
Although Lin Li lost control of the Lord of Nightmares after that, he was also attacked by the Lord of Nightmares, and fell into the endless dream. However, after falling into the dream of the Lord of Nightmares, the so-called level-21 or level-22 power became meaningless. It was equivalent to Lin Li and Vidas being on the same level. The factor of power had basically been eliminated, and what Lin Li and Vidas had to face was the endless dream of the Lord of Nightmares' Nightmare Domain.
Lin Li didn't know what Vidas would encounter, nor did he have the leisure to make any guesses, because he had already begun a nightmare journey that was hard to distinguish between real and fake.
The spectators in the stands stared at the center of the square in a daze, but they couldn't see anything apart from a can of smoke. Besides, after hearing Vidas' words, there was no movement for a long time, and no one knew what was going on inside.
Arathor had no choice but to order his subordinates to continuously add magical crystals to the energy core of the defensive mageweath in order to maintain the existence of the entire defensive force field. Only God knew what kind of gift the two Legendary powerhouses would bring to the city if the defensive force field was removed at this time.
William closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the back of the chair. He seemed to be resting, but he had never been so nervous before. Wilkinson and the rest were also staring at the square nervously. Although Sienna was full of confidence in Lin Li, he was also nervous about the situation that he couldn't understand.
Some of the other people in the stands were nervous because they had placed a large bet, while others were nervous because of more considerations. The power that Lin Li, the young president of the Tower of Dusk, had revealed in the battle was simply too terrifying. If a 20-year-old Legendary-mage were to win this battle, the Tower of Dusk would definitely become one of the strongest forces in the entire Breezy Plains. That would have a huge impact on the situation of the entire Breezy Plains. What if he was defeated? Actually, some people had also thought that it was impossible for such a young Legendary-mage to not have the support of powerful forces. If anything were to happen to the young Legendary-mage here, the forces of the Breezy Plains would definitely not be able to escape a major reshuffle.
Everyone was very nervous, but the center of the square was abnormally calm, and no one could see what was going on. All they could do was wait for the final moment when the answer would be revealed.
Lin Li had long lost the concept of time, and the dreams were like scenes of his life. There were bliss and pain, danger and dullness. From the initial absurdity to the difficulty of distinguishing reality from illusion, the Lord of Nightmares seemed to be constantly adjusting the dream.
When Lin Li decided to release the Lord of Nightmares, he had considered his immunity to dreams, and felt that he was a transmigrator after all. In the world before he transmigrated, the greatest form of entertainment was to experience different lives. For example, novels, movies, television dramas, and online games were all for people to experience different lives.
However, when Lin Li really fell into the dream of the Lord of Nightmares, he realized that even if he knew it was a dream, he would still be unable to extricate himself from it. When he shouted that he was going to wake up, it might be the beginning of another dream, and he would never know where the end of the dream would be.
Lin Li had been a demon in the abyss, and was powerless against Highlord Osric's Magic Legion. He had also been an ugly goblin, and watched as the High Elves' army slaughtered the entire goblin race. He had been a dwarf who had been forging iron his whole life, and had also been a soldier, a bandit, a noble, and even a king. He had even become an elf, and played in the Emerald Forest, learning magic under the strict eyes of the elders, and enjoying the admiring gazes of his companions.
Countless bizarre dreams had appeared, and each one was more dangerous than the one before. If he was not careful, he would lose himself in the dream and become a slave of the Lord of Nightmares. If that were the case, Lin Li would probably be the first unlucky person to be enslaved by his own summoned creature.
However, perhaps Lin Li's experience of transmigration had indeed made him immune to all kinds of dreams, and the belief that he had been guarding in his heart finally allowed him to wake up from the dream. Besides, because of the training in the dream, Lin Li's willpower became stronger, and his mental strength became stronger. He also learned many unknown secrets from the dream.
"Hey, look, the fog is getting thinner. It's coming out!" someone suddenly shouted from the spectator stands.
Actually, there was no need for that person's reminder. Although it was boring to stare at a cigarette can, the people in the spectator stands did not move their eyes away for a moment. The ink-like fog in the defensive power gradually became lighter, from black to dark gray, and then to gray again until it completely dissipated, revealing the scene that had been hidden a lot.
The lush Nature Domain had long disappeared, and the square had been restored to its original state. Even the stone slabs on the ground did not have any traces of the trees that had been planted there. There were only two figures standing on the flat and vast square without any cover. Although neither of them had fallen, it was obvious who had won and who had lost.
Everyone could only see that Vidas' face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. He was like a bird that had been startled by the mere twang of a bow, and had completely lost the demeanor that a level-22 peerless powerhouse should have. Mage Felic, who was opposite Vidas, strode towards Vidas with a smile on his face, and slowly extended his hand.
"Mage Felic, have mercy, have mercy!" Arathor exclaimed in shock as he leaped down from the spectator stands and dashed towards the center of the square. However, he had forgotten that there was a defensive force field around the square that even a Legendary powerhouse could not break.
"Boom!"
Arathor's body slammed against the wall of the force field, and he slid down slowly, leaving a clear trail of blood behind.
Lin Li turned his head and smiled, but he did not stop. He reached out to grab the Helios' Scepter in Vidas' hand, and gently pulled it out.
The defensive force field was deactivated, and Arathor wiped the blood off his nose before running in ungracefully.
"Castellan Arathor, according to the bet, this thing belongs to me now. You won't object, right?" Lin Li said while fiddling with the Helios' Scepter.
"Go ahead, go ahead …" What else could he object to? Lin Li had even defeated a level-22 Legendary-mage. Arathor did not dare to object at all, and was only concerned about Vidas' condition.
However, when he walked towards Vidas, he realized that the elven Legendary-mage had completely lost his usual composure. His eyes were glazed, and he had a look of horror on his face as if he had suffered a great shock.
William, Wilkinson, and the others followed closely behind Arathor, and hurried to the center of the square from the spectator stands. At this moment, they were naturally most concerned about Lin Li's safety. After all, the magic battle just now was too terrifying, and everyone thought that the young genius Lin Li would definitely die there.
William carefully scanned Lin Li from head to toe. Seeing that he didn't seem to be injured, he asked worriedly, "Master Felic, are you … alright?" His attitude was extremely respectful, and he sounded like he was trying to curry favor with Lin Li. However, before Lin Li could reply, he was pushed aside by Wilkinson and the rest rudely.
Wilkinson and the others had long regarded Lin Li as their teacher. Although the battle was caused by the elven mage Vidas, they definitely did not have a good impression of William. Without William's invitation, would Master Felic be able to bring us here? If it wasn't for you, William, who organized this auction, would there have been such a battle? Would Master Felic mistreat you if you didn't send the good stuff to the Tower of Dusk first? Who else would be able to afford 15,000,000 gold coins?
Of course, although Wilkinson was dissatisfied with William, his main concern now was Lin Li's condition. A group of high-level pharmacists surrounded Lin Li, asking him all sorts of questions about whether he was feeling unwell, and whether he needed to take some potions. They even took out some potions that they had concocted themselves, and asked him what they were for and what their effects were. They were all afraid that Lin Li would suffer from any internal injuries because of the battle.
Lin Li did not have much of a reaction, but the people who had followed behind were drooling and staring at him with glistening eyes. Unfortunately, they knew that they were not qualified to go forward to talk to him, and thus had no choice but to watch from afar.
