This little fluctuation might not have been much in normal times, but at this moment, even though it was only a slight fluctuation, it was like a stone thrown into the water. The ripples immediately destroyed the reflection in the water. The scenery around Lin Li changed drastically in the blink of an eye, and the tranquil and elegant scenery that was intoxicating just a moment ago burst and disappeared like a bubble. The fragrant wildflowers, the vibrant green grass, and the tall trees all turned into various magic spells that bombarded Lin Li mercilessly.
At the moment when the fluctuation of mental strength appeared, Lin Li had a bad feeling. He had been very careful, but he didn't expect to make such a mistake in the end. However, it was too late for regrets now, and he couldn't be bothered about his mental strength anymore. Instead, he immediately placed the Helios' Scepter in front of his chest, and quickly chanted a magic spell.
Lin Li had never slacked off in his practice and research of rapid casting. Even though he had become a Legendary-mage, he had never neglected the importance of rapid casting. Compressing the casting time by one-tenth or one-hundredth of a second meant that he had to put in 10 times or even 100 times more effort than the other mages.
All of his previous efforts finally paid off at this moment. Faced with such a sudden change, Lin Li still cast a magical defense immediately. Although the layer of magical defense did not last for even a second in the overwhelming magic storm, it at least gave Lin Li time to cast another spell.
Lin Li did not stop chanting the spell for a moment, and the gemstone at the top of the Helios' Scepter emitted a dazzling light. Layers of colorful shields were cast one after another to resist the magic storm that was unknown when it would end.
The beautiful scenery in the valley was long gone, and it seemed that everything had been restored to the most basic elements. In an instant, they were recombined into sharp magic spells that exerted a powerful and destructive power. Perhaps the ice spear at this moment was just a few insignificant blades of grass, while the lightning that fell from the sky might have been a colorful wildflower.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, and the moon and stars had long since disappeared. Countless lightning snakes were jumping and rolling in the dark clouds, constantly colliding and merging. Then, they turned into a lightning pillar that connected the sky and the earth, and fiercely smashed towards the ground. All the lightning pillars landed on that tiny human. From afar, it looked like a huge funnel made of lightning that connected heaven and earth.
Huge vortexes slowly formed in the dark clouds, and in the center of the vortexes was an even deeper darkness, as if it led to another world. Dull thumping sounds came from the vortex, like the beating of a heart. The sound became more and more rapid, and the vortex also expanded and contracted. Finally, the darkness in the center of the whirlpool was illuminated. Raging flames wrapped around the boulder and shot out from the center of the whirlpool. With a mournful whistling sound, the boulder fell to the ground with a long trail of flames.
The ground shook violently, and with a dull rumble, streams of bright yellow magma burst out of the ground like a fountain. The tornado dragged along the magma, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a flaming tornado. Its huge body swayed and spun, and it repeatedly hit the light shield that was struggling to hold up on the ground.
Cold wind and flames, ice spears and fire snakes, and burning boulders fell from the sky. Lightning was mixed in with the meteor shower. All of this had only one target — Lin Li, who was struggling to hold up the magical defense on the ground. Lin Li complained in his heart, but he did not dare to slack off. It was a matter of life and death, and he might lose his life if he stuttered. His recitation was still fast and accurate, and there was no hesitation at all. A layer of magical defense had just been torn apart, and a new one had already been supported from the inside.
Lin Li seemed to be in a very difficult situation. Every minute and second was so thrilling and dangerous. It was as if he would be drowned in the magic storm at any time if he was not careful. If there were bystanders, they would definitely think that Lin Li was too lucky. There were many times when he was just a little bit away from death, but he managed to pull through. However, who would know how much effort Lin Li had put in for such a small chance?
It might not be difficult for a mage to quickly cast a spell, but it was not easy to continuously cast a spell at a rapid pace for a short period of time. It was impossible for a mage who had not really put in the hard work of self-abuse to achieve this. However, Lin Li did it. He quickly recited magic spells and quickly arranged the magical elements. He was almost close to the realm of casting magic instantaneously.
There was no room for luck in a battle of life and death. Those who expected their opponents to make mistakes would often end up in a miserable state. Lin Li knew this very well. Hence, even though Lin Li was extremely talented in magic, his daily efforts were no less than those of others. In fact, he was more than 10 times or 100 times more than others.
His efforts would eventually pay off. Although he seemed to be in a difficult situation at the moment, Lin Li had strong confidence in himself. He cast one magical defense after another, and stubbornly held up a safe space in the overwhelming magic storm. It was like an isolated island in the sea that remained standing despite the attacks of the strong winds and huge waves.
It was not that Lin Li did not have the slightest ability to fight back, but he could only persevere in the current situation because he did not know who his opponent was. There was only the continuous bombardment of magic spells in the sky. All kinds of elemental magic spells tore through the layers of magical defense mercilessly. There were even some that Lin Li, a Legendary-mage, had not mastered, and could not even name.
Perhaps a long time had passed, or perhaps only a moment had passed. Lin Li did not have the extra energy to count how many magic spells he had cast. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to persevere. At such a time, perseverance was the only choice. Retreating would be riskier than persevering. Regardless of whether the magic storm was set up in advance or controlled by another powerful existence behind the scenes, there would definitely be an end to it. If he retreated rashly before he figured out his opponent, it would be equivalent to putting himself in a passive position.
Just when Lin Li acutely sensed that the raging magic storm seemed to be weakening a little, a shadow in the sky fell into the valley. Although it was inconspicuous in the sky full of magic spells, the massive magical aura it carried still caught Lin Li's attention.
The shadow landed in the distance. While Lin Li continued to quickly cast magical defenses, he looked through the dense magic spells at the newcomer who was suspended in midair in the distance. Lin Li was immediately horrified. He had never thought of this opponent before.
The petite and exquisite body seemed so insignificant in the magic storm, as if it could be engulfed by a fireball. Her head wasn't very big, but compared to her petite body, it gave off a feeling of being top-heavy and light-footed. There was a pair of horns on its head that looked like the antennae of a butterfly, which made it seem even more delicate. Its limbs were short and slender, and its strength was probably inferior to a human's finger. Its so-called sharp claws might not even be able to tear a piece of paper. There was a pair of translucent wings on its back. If it were not for the faint colorful patterns, it would really look like the wings of a bat.
If a woman saw such a small creature, she would definitely want to immediately grab it and caress it. However, Lin Li was very clear that if he were to really be captivated by its cuteness, it would mean that he was not far from death. That palm-sized body didn't just look cute. Instead, it was terrifying enough to make people feel despair.
Even though Lin Li was already a Legendary-mage, he could only feel a chill down his spine when facing this adorable little creature. It was not a matter of courage. The brave were not fearless, but they could overcome the fear in their hearts. However, fear still existed, and it could make them more cautious with every step they took.
Even the Legendary powerhouses of the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade would definitely be terrified if they were to face this petite and adorable creature, and might even retreat without a fight, let alone Lin Li who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm. Although they might not know what this little creature was or what kind of terrifying power it possessed, the mighty Menace of the Dragon that came from the bloodline of the ancient wyrms was not fake at all.
Yes, it was an Elemental Wyrm. Perhaps only Lin Li could accurately call out its identity now. Only when he really faced an Elemental Wyrm would he understand that the word "giant" was not a joke when used on this petite creature. The powerful magical power contained in its palm-sized body was simply unimaginable to ordinary people. There was also the mighty Menace of the Dragon that dominated the world. Be it humans or prehistoric magical beasts, they would only feel suffocated when they were in it, and even have the thought of worshipping it. It was enough to make people ignore the petite body of the Elemental Wyrm.
It seemed that the Elemental Wyrm was only the size of a palm, but the aura that its petite body emitted filled the space between heaven and earth, making those who were in it feel small and insignificant. It was also a pocket-sized creature, but this Elemental Wyrm was obviously already an adult. It was worlds apart from the young Wyrm that was absorbing magical elements in the depths of the halo.
Lin Li felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had already expected to encounter a difficult opponent, he did not expect it to be an adult Elemental Wyrm. When he first saw the young Elemental Wyrm, he thought that he had hit the jackpot. However, now that he looked at it again, he realized that he was extremely unlucky. How unlucky must he be to have the honor of facing an Elemental Wyrm?
