When the Dragon of Dream was at its peak, it controlled the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. Even a true deity would not dare to fight it head-on. Even if the Dragon of Dream had fallen into a deep slumber due to some reason, it was still not something that a mere Legendary-mage like Lin Li could deal with. Even if Lin Li had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he probably wouldn't be able to contend with the real Dragon of Dream, let alone a Legendary-mage who had just entered the Legendary-realm.
Even if the legends were true, and the main body of the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar was not the Dragon of Dream that Lin Li had guessed, it definitely had strength close to that of the Dragon of Dream. That was something that Lin Li was absolutely certain of. If he really provoked such a terrifying old fellow, Lin Li would definitely end up in a miserable state. There would be no chance of him getting out of this alive.
Lin Li frowned with a grim expression. While dealing with the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar with all his might, he racked his brains to think of a solution. Faced with this dilemma, he had to make a choice as soon as possible. If he continued to delay, the situation would only become more disadvantageous to him.
Although the Elemental Wyrm was only a projection of a powerful existence, it was the most powerful opponent that Lin Li had encountered since he came to Anril. Putting aside how powerful the Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar was, its infinite mana alone was enough to make it invincible.
Although Lin Li's mental strength was strong, and he also had the Evil Eye Tyrant Ring that constantly strengthened his mental strength, that was only when compared to ordinary human mages. Putting the Elemental Wyrm aside, his opponent, the elven Legendary-mage Vidas, was enough to surpass Lin Li in terms of mental strength during the Legendary-realm battle in the Harvest Square of Roland City.
The reason that Lin Li could defeat Vidas was that the elves were naturally weak against mental strength attacks, and Lin Li happened to have the Demon Lord of the Endless Abyss, the Lord of Nightmares. Otherwise, it would be extremely unlikely for Lin Li to defeat Vidas with his own strength.
However, now that he was facing the powerful Elemental Wyrm's projected avatar, he would be courting death if he tried the same trick again. The Elemental Wyrm's mana was infinite, not because of its strong mental strength, but because it had mastered the Laws of the four elements. The source of all mana was the four elements of the entire Anril. Although this was only a projection and the level of instantaneous magic was limited, the magic power was not limited.
After coming to Anril, Lin Li had encountered powerful projected avatars. The Lord of Darkness in the Abyss of Tharlen was just a projection of the Dragon of Destruction. However, compared to the Lord of Darkness, the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm in front of them was obviously stronger and more powerless.
Although the fall of the Dragon of Destruction was only a legend, there was no doubt about its authenticity. The Immortal King had killed the Dragon of Destruction, and used its skeleton to build the Sky Castle. This was recorded in the history of the High Elves.
As one of the five Dragon Aspects, the Dragon of Destruction naturally had the power to destroy the world since it was named after the word "destruction". In fact, it was even more outstanding than the other four Dragon Aspects. As the projected avatar of the Dragon of Destruction, the power of the Lord of Darkness should not be inferior to the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm. Furthermore, the Lord of Darkness had the Throne of Darkness that the Dragon of Destruction had created using the Darkness Domain.
However, compared to the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm, the Lord of Darkness lacked the most important point, and that was the intelligence to control power. It only knew how to exert power mechanically, and turned a blind eye to Lin Li's series of not-so-brilliant designs. After experiencing the suppression of the power of the Abyss, it still changed its target to Mephistos, the Lord of Souls, who had barged in later. It was because its brain, which did not have the ability to think at all, only thought that whoever had a stronger energy wave would be the first enemy to be killed.
Although Lin Li had defeated the Lord of Darkness mainly because of the ancient demonic runes provided by Connoris, he used the powerful power of the entire Abyss to suppress the Lord of Darkness, and then kept it in the Dragon Crystal of the Dragon of Destruction. However, if the Lord of Darkness had a little bit of intelligence, Lin Li's design would not have succeeded.
The projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm that Lin Li was facing at this time was obviously much smarter. The various elemental magic spells were not blindly bombarded, but clearly had a very clear strategy. The various elemental magic spells cooperated with each other, and through the grasp of timing, the attack efficiency of each magic spell was maximized. To a mage, this was simply a performance of magic art. If Lin Li was not in the middle of it, he would probably be cheering for it.
Moreover, Lin Li was now in the Haiga Mountain Range, and not the Endless Abyss. Here, the ancient demonic runes would not have any effect, and the power of the Abyss could not affect this place at all. Without the help of the powerful power of the Abyss, and without a powerhouse like the Lord of Souls to be the scapegoat, it was not an exaggeration to say that this battle was the most difficult one for Lin Li.
To Lin Li, this was definitely an unprecedented battle. No mage could be like the Elemental Wyrm, who could cast magic spells without any pause. It seemed like there were countless magic spells coming at him at every moment. The level of these spells was not too high — maybe level-15, maybe level-18. In short, none of them had reached the Legendary-level, and there were even very few level-19 spells. However, there were simply too many of them …
The Thousand Miles of Ice swept past, but the sky above them was roasted red by the blazing flames. Countless meteorites fell from the sky like meteors, and the most terrible thing was that there were a lot of Pyroblasts mixed in. This was simply shameless. It was as though everyone had agreed to throw snowballs for fun, but some despicable fella had mixed a few bombs into the snowballs.
This strange and despicable battle style really made Lin Li miserable. The battle experience that he had accumulated in the past could not be used here at all. The shadow of the Elemental Wyrm was a completely different existence. It was not limited by mana or spell casting, and could cast magic as it pleased. This feeling was like being hit by a monkey stealing a peach the moment he stepped into the ring in a formal boxing match. It was frustrating and shocking …
Almost in the blink of an eye, the shadow of the Elemental Wyrm had released dozens of magic spells. Even Lin Li, who had always been known for his amazing casting speed, could not help but gasp. After hastily adding an Elemental Shield to himself, he was constantly in a passive situation, and it often took him a few minutes to find time to return a spell …
The Elemental Wyrm was the Dragon Aspect that controlled the four major magical elements, and had an amazing resistance to magic. Even if it was only a shadow, it was far from being hurt by ordinary magic. The two spells that Lin Li found time to return were not even worth an itch to the shadow of the Elemental Wyrm, and were directly ignored.
This was not a battle of the same level at all …
Although Lin Li had once defeated the shadow of the Dragon of Destruction in the Abyss of Tharlen, there was a huge difference between the shadow of the Elemental Wyrm and the Lord of Darkness. Due to the fall of the Dragon of Destruction, the Lord of Darkness had long lost its thoughts and intelligence, and was fighting purely based on its own instincts. The shadow of the Elemental Wyrm was completely different now. Not only did it have terrifying power, it also had battle awareness that was not inferior to Lin Li's. Such battle awareness was even above that of most mages in Anril. With its powerful strength and battle awareness, the real combat power that could be exerted was much stronger than that of the Lord of Darkness.
Lin Li immediately released his own Magical Domain. The sky was filled with snow and ice, and the fusion of Light and Darkness. Countless Angels of Light and Dark with their wings and spears guarded Lin Li impenetrably. The Magical Domain of Light, Darkness, and Snow was already the most powerful weapon in Lin Li's hands. Back in the Harvest Square, even the level-22 Vidas could not do anything about it.
However, under the shadow of the Elemental Wyrm, this Magical Domain was nothing at all. The shadow of the Elemental Wyrm did not even use overly complicated techniques. It just continuously cast magic spells, and Lin Li was forced into a corner. He did not even dare to breathe heavily …
At this time, the only thing that Lin Li could do apart from resisting bitterly was to wait …
He waited for half an hour, during which the shadow of the Dragon of Dream blasted at least 1,000 magic spells, each of which was above level-15. If the power of these magic spells were to converge, the entire Breezy Plains would probably be razed to the ground.
Such a terrifying bombardment of magic spells would probably exhaust any other mage's mana. Fortunately, it was Lin Li. Lin Li's innately strong mana and mental strength were the real reason why he could last until now. A steady stream of mana supported the Elemental Shield, and whenever one was depleted, he would replenish it. If there was a gap in between, he could not be bothered to use any magic spells to fight back against the shadow of the Dragon of Dream. Instead, he simply put up a few ice walls.
Although the ice walls were not much stronger than a few pieces of white paper in the face of the magic storm, the situation was actually similar to rape. Although the victim knew that his clothes would definitely be torn in the end, the victim would definitely want to have as many clothes as possible when it really happened.
Lin Li was now the victim. If possible, Lin Li really wished that he had worn a steel plate today …
