In the entire history of Anril, apart from the Dragon of Dream, there had never been an Elemental Wyrm in myths and legends. It was obvious how rare the Elemental Wyrm was. Lin Li had to rely on his memories from the Endless World to know that the little thing in front of him was a terrifying Elemental Wyrm. The people of Anril had never even heard of an Elemental Wyrm, let alone this one.
However, the problem was that Anril was not the Endless World, and it was not a game where one could farm monsters regularly. Was Lin Li considered lucky or unlucky to have encountered two Elemental Wyrms in such a place? The Elemental Wyrm was not just difficult to deal with. It had mastered the Laws of the four elements, and its mana was almost endless. It could instantly cast all kinds of spells of the four elements. Not to mention Lin Li, who had just entered the Legendary-realm, even Cheyenne and Borg might not be able to gain the upper hand.
However, it was impossible for him to retreat now, as that would only make him die faster.
Fight! Lin Li pulled himself together, and quickly adjusted his breathing to suppress the shock in his heart. He also sped up his casting speed. Yes, the only thing he could do now was to fight the Elemental Wyrm to the death. There was no other way.
The overwhelming magic storm did not weaken at all. Although it was less violent than before due to the appearance of the Elemental Wyrm, it was not a good thing for Lin Li. Although the Elemental Wyrm did not move, the magic storm suddenly changed, and became much more orderly than before. It made each magic attack more efficient and more powerful than before.
Although the previous magic storm had the power to destroy the world, it was like a group of soldiers in a mess. Although they had the same target, they only knew how to attack blindly, and sometimes even obstructed each other. Now, with the control of the Elemental Wyrm, they became a well-disciplined army that knew when to advance and retreat. There was no gap between the various magic spells, and the attack power and efficiency were naturally greatly increased.
The Elemental Wyrm was born with the Laws of the four elements, and the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind were as instinctive to it as breathing. It only needed to think about it, and the powerful elemental magic would naturally take shape. It did not need to deliberately care about the arrangement of the magical elements at all.
For human Mages, it would be a great achievement even if they could only cast a small fireball instantaneously. However, to the Elemental Wyrm, instant fireballs were nothing. Even a high-level spell like Thousand Miles of Ice could be cast with just a thought.
Besides, when Elemental Wyrms used magic, all their mana came from the four elements that were everywhere in the world. Their mana would never run out, and they wouldn't have to worry about mana consumption at all. Therefore, low-level spells were not seen at all here. All the spells that were released were of the highest level and most powerful.
However, while trying his best to resist the magic storm, Lin Li gradually felt that something was amiss. Although the Elemental Wyrm was extremely powerful, it seemed to be restricted by something, and seemed to be a little different from the king of the ancient wyrms that he had imagined.
Lin Li recalled the memories related to the Elemental Wyrm. Apart from the introduction of the Elemental Wyrm in the Endless World, the one that left the deepest impression was naturally the battle in the Well of the Sun. In that battle, his max-level Hunter account was also forced into a very difficult situation, and he was beaten to the brink of death many times. He only managed to kill the Elemental Wyrm by relying on the various high-level potions that he had spent a lot of money to prepare, and successfully obtained the Stars of Fury.
The scene in his mind suddenly froze when he killed the Elemental Wyrm, and Lin Li finally realized what was wrong. With the abilities of Lin Li's Hunter account, he would definitely fail the mission if he had encountered a real Elemental Wyrm in the Well of the Sun, even if he was equipped with all sorts of high-level potions and magic scrolls. There was no need to even think about obtaining the Stars of Fury. The mission was completed because the Elemental Wyrm that he had encountered was actually just a projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm in the Well of the Sun.
Even as the king of the ancient wyrms, the Elemental Wyrm that had the most powerful power in the world couldn't create a projected avatar that had all of its power. Besides, in order to ensure the safety of its main body, it couldn't even use half of its power to create a projected avatar.
Now, Lin Li was able to persist until now in front of the Elemental Wyrm not because he was powerful, but because he was actually facing a projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm, just like the one he had encountered in the Well of the Sun. Lin Li had no doubt that if he had been facing a real Elemental Wyrm at this time, he would have long been turned into ashes in the magic storm, and wouldn't have been able to persist for such a long time.
Although the powerful Elemental Wyrm had been continuously casting high-level magic spells, Lin Li now thought about it carefully, and realized that none of the high-level magic spells were above level-20. That was impossible for a real Elemental Wyrm. Since it had infinite mana, how could it be stingy with mana when casting magic spells?
However, after knowing that he was facing a projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm, Lin Li didn't feel relaxed at all. On the contrary, it made Lin Li feel even more troubled, and he cursed his bad luck again.
No powerful existence could create a projected avatar that was as powerful as itself. Even an Elemental Wyrm couldn't do that. However, the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm that Lin Li was facing now still possessed extremely terrifying power. That could only mean one thing — the power possessed by the projected avatar was definitely unimaginably powerful.
Even though Lin Li was only facing the projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm, and its power was greatly limited compared to its actual body, it could instantly cast spells below level-20 and had infinite mana. It was still far from what an ordinary Legendary-mage could compare to.
In that case, who could create such a powerful projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm in Anril? Thinking about the ancient legends of Anril, Lin Li already had a terrifying guess in his mind. Only the Dragon of Dream, the king of the ancient Wyrms and one of the five Dragon Aspects, could have the ability to create such a powerful projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm.
Of course, that was just an answer that Lin Li speculated based on various information. Although in his opinion, this conjecture was most likely correct, it did not completely answer all the questions in his heart.
Although Lin Li was an outsider to Anril, the past year was enough for him to understand a lot of things. He still clearly remembered that in the legends of Anril, the Dragon of Dream, one of the Dragon Aspects, had fallen a long time ago. Besides, it wasn't just the Dragon of Dream. With the end of the prehistoric times, the five Dragon Aspects had all fallen, and the ancient Wyrms had also withdrawn from the stage of dominating the continent. This period of history had always been passed on in the form of legends in Anril, but Lin Li couldn't verify its authenticity.
From the prehistoric times to the present, tens of thousands of years had passed since the Dark Age was ruled by the High Elves. If the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm was really the Dragon of Dream that had fallen a long time ago, why did it only appear in the Haiga Mountain Range after such a long time?
Lin Li couldn't help but worry if the Dragon of Dream had really fallen, or if it was just hibernating in a corner. If he killed the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm in front of him, what kind of reaction would the main body, which was closely connected to the projected avatar, have?
The Dragon of Dream was not to be trifled with. Legend had it that the ancient Wyrms were born in chaos, just like the Titans. As one of the five Dragon Aspects, the Dragon of Dream was born with the power of the four elements, and mastered all the Laws of the four elements. Mastering the Laws was not like comprehending the Laws like Legendary-mages. Instead, it was complete control. Even the powerful Titans, other Dragon Aspects, and prehistoric magical beasts couldn't use the power of the four elements.
In Anril during that era, elemental magic only belonged to the Dragon of Dream, and no other existences could get involved in it. It wasn't until the fall of the Dragon of Dream that the seeds of elemental magic sprouted in Anril. The High Elves that were born later, as well as the humans that came later, had the opportunity to master elemental magic.
Although according to legend, if the Dragon of Dream hadn't fallen, there wouldn't have been a prosperous era of magic, no one could be certain about legends. The reason why legends were called legends was that no one could prove their authenticity. In the era that the Dragon of Dream lived in, even the High Elves hadn't been born yet. No one dared to say that they knew 100% of what had happened.
The situation that Lin Li was facing now was that it would be terrible if he lost, but it might not be a good thing if he won. The Dragon of Dream was not to be trifled with. The five Dragon Aspects were the leaders of the ancient Wyrms. During the war during the prehistoric times, the five Dragon Aspects even joined forces to tear the earth apart and split the entire Anril apart. The crack that split became the Endless Ocean today. Clearly, the power of the five Dragon Aspects was terrifying.
