Cheyenne only had to take care of himself, and he was considered one of the three forces, so it should be relatively easy for him to sustain. However, after the appearance of the wind elementals, he became the target of most of the wind elementals because he was alone. This time, the pressure that Cheyenne was under was not just a little bit more, but increased by several times.
Under the immense pressure, Cheyenne struggled to move towards Lin Li and the others. However, just as he was a few steps away from Lin Li and the others' magic shield, there was a loud roar in the sky, and dozens of giant thunderbolts suddenly fell. The magic shield around Cheyenne immediately shattered, and more than half of the dozens of layers of protection were destroyed.
Before Cheyenne could heave a sigh of relief, a purple thunderbolt that was only as thick as a finger suddenly flashed out of the lightning and thunder. The purple thunderbolt seemed to be unobstructed as it instantly penetrated the last few layers of protection, and blasted towards Cheyenne's head.
"It's the Divine Punishment!" Seeing the change in Cheyenne's situation, a few of them couldn't help but exclaim. The Divine Punishment was not a real punishment from the deities, but a level-23 single-target offensive spell of lightning magic. Although the purple thunderbolt was only as thick as a little finger and seemed inconspicuous, the power of the lightning condensed in it was much stronger than the Annihilation Thunderball.
Although it was only an alliance formed because of interests, it would definitely be a great loss to the team if they lost a Legendary-mage before the guardians appeared. However, at this moment, no one could help Cheyenne. It seemed that the pillar of the Malfa Family was really doomed.
However, just when everyone was worried about Cheyenne, Lin Li raised his head to look at the huge vortex in the middle of the sky. At the moment when the level-23 Divine Punishment appeared, Lin Li seemed to have sensed a magical wave from the Thunderbolt Vortex that surprised him greatly.
Be it the aura of the magical wave or the nomological power contained in it, the magical wave could no longer be described as similar. It was exactly the same as the Stars of Fury. Could it be that there was also the Stars of Fury in that vortex apart from the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Li began to doubt his conjecture again when he caught the magical wave just now. Although the magical wave was almost exactly the same as the Stars of Fury, it was a little too weak. Lin Li had owned the Stars of Fury before, and had personally used it countless times. In his memory, the magical waves of the real Stars of Fury were thousands of times stronger than those he had just used.
However, as the former owner of the Stars of Fury, Lin Li was very sure that he would definitely recognize the magical waves of the Stars of Fury. Apart from being too weak, the magical wave just now was no different from the magical wave of the real Stars of Fury.
What on earth was going on? Lin Li was really puzzled. He wanted to use his mental strength to explore the whirlpool again, but he was always blocked at the edge. Moreover, the current situation did not allow for him to be too distracted. He could only turn his gaze towards Cheyenne to see if his ally could escape the divine punishment.
Under everyone's helpless gaze, the purple lightning struck Cheyenne's head as expected. However, at this moment, a layer of yellow light suddenly appeared on Cheyenne's body, blocking the purple lightning that was only a few centimeters away from his body. In the blink of an eye, the purple lightning and the yellow light on Cheyenne's body disappeared at the same time, and Cheyenne seized the opportunity to speed up and rush into the magical defense of Lin Li and the others.
"Pa!" With a crisp sound, a ring on Cheyenne's finger suddenly shattered and fell to the ground before he could stabilize his body. A look of pity flashed in Cheyenne's eyes, but he did not take another look at the ring on the ground. He forced a smile at Lin Li, who was looking at him, and gripped his staff tightly before joining the team.
It could be seen that the ring had probably played a magical role just now, which allowed Cheyenne to escape the calamity. The defensive power of the ring was really shocking to think that it could actually resist the level-23 Divine Punishment of Lightning. Cheyenne was a Legendary-mage who had supported the Malfa Family alone and fought against the Dark Blade which had three Legendary powerhouses for so many years. If he did not have any life-saving items, he would have been destroyed by the Dark Blade long ago. Unfortunately, the level-23 magic was still too powerful, and had exceeded the endurance of the ring.
The team gathered together again, and immediately returned to the state they were in when they were dealing with the Wind Elementals. Everyone performed their duties and worked together. However, this time, their main focus was on defense. Faced with the countless powerful magic spells and level-23 Divine Punishment, Cheyenne could not protect so many people by himself. After Cheyenne entered, Lin Li and Elder Randy continued to cast defensive magic spells, leaving the three elves and the two Undead servants to deal with the Wind Elementals.
If there were only a dozen Wind Elementals, it would be difficult for them to pose any threat to the Legendary powerhouses. Although everyone's energy was spent on continuously casting defensive magic spells to resist the powerful lightning magic attacks, the other Legendary powerhouses would not have a problem. Be it the three elves or the two Undead servants, they all had Legendary-level strength, and it would not be a problem for them to destroy the Wind Elementals.
However, what would happen when there were dozens of Wind Elementals? Every Wind Elemental had level-18 power, and they had great immunity to magical and physical attacks. That was not something a level-18 Archmage could compare to. In order to kill a level-18 Archmage, a Legendary powerhouse would be able to do it in an instant. However, it would be very difficult for a Legendary powerhouse to defeat a level-18 Wind Elemental in one blow. Two or three Legendary powerhouses could indeed kill the Wind Elementals very quickly, but that speed was a little …
Actually, it did not matter if they were a little slower. The magical defense that the three Legendary powerhouses, Lin Li, Cheyenne, and Elder Randy had continuously strengthened was not that easy to break, unless all the lightning magic spells were as powerful as the Divine Punishment. However, the most terrible thing was that there were dozens of Wind Elementals now, but they were still being summoned. The speed at which they were killing them could not keep up with the speed of their summoning.
It had only been a few minutes, and the team had killed more than 10 Wind Elementals. However, the number of Wind Elementals around them did not decrease at all. Instead, there were hundreds of them.
How the f * ck are we supposed to fight? Even the Tide of Death of the Necromancers is not that powerful. All the Wind Elementals are level-18, and their powerful wind and lightning magic spells are constantly bombarding everyone's magical defense. In the face of the hundreds of Wind Elementals, even if Lin Li and Elder Randy could free up their hands and join in the attack, they would not be able to turn the situation around.
Lin Li and the others who were in charge of the magical defense still knew to continuously replenish the defensive magic spells that had been destroyed, but the others were at a loss. Should they continue attacking the Wind Elementals? That would be useless. If they killed one, two would appear. When would they be able to kill the hundreds of Wind Elementals around them? However, if they did not attack the Wind Elementals, they would definitely die. No matter how powerful the Legendary powerhouses were, they would not be able to hold on forever. The magical defense would eventually be broken.
In the sky, the giant thunderbolts continued to fall endlessly. The World-Annihilating Thunderballs also fell one after another, and each one that hit the top of everyone's head would be able to destroy several layers of magical defense. As for the level-23 Divine Punishment, it would make everyone shudder in fear every time it appeared.
The outcome of their defeat was already destined, and it was just a matter of time. Facing the endless magic bombardment in the sky and the hundreds of Wind Elementals that were glaring at them covetously, they could not see any hope of escaping. The team could only be described as struggling at death's door now. They were just waiting for Lin Li and the others to run out of mana and be unable to hold on anymore. That would be the moment when everyone in the team would be destroyed.
Culofen had already rejoined the ranks of casting defensive magic spells, and the remaining two elves and two Undead creatures could do nothing to the Wind Elementals. An emerald green arrow was placed on the bowstring, and Princess Elune slowly pulled the string of Song of Happiness, aiming at the World-Annihilating Thunderballs that were falling from the sky. However, she was stopped by Gildor.
It was not that Gildor had any other thoughts, but rather that it would be redundant to do anything at this moment. Since they already knew the outcome, why waste their energy?
Norfeller and Ujfalusi were still continuously attacking the Wind Elementals outside, but it was difficult for them to deal a fatal blow to the Wind Elementals. That was not to say that they were weak. After all, they were a level-21 Vampire and a level-20 Lich. Who could say that they were weak?
However, their opponent was the Wind Elementals. Although Norfeller was fast, he could not outrun the speed of the thunderbolts. Once they left the range of the magical defense, only death would await them. As a Lich, Ujfalusi's attacks consisted of summoning Undead creatures and various poisonous Necromagic spells. However, would the Wind Elementals be afraid of poison? As soon as the summoned Undead creatures appeared, they would be blasted into pieces by the thunderbolts, and would not be of any help at all.
No one could think of a solution to the current situation. Compared to the time when they faced the Green Dragon King, it was definitely a dead end. One must know that until now, the mysterious guardian had yet to appear. Everyone no longer had any hope of escaping. It was no wonder that the guardian had yet to appear. If they could not even get through this, they would not be qualified to meet the powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm.
There was only despair left in everyone's hearts. The only thing they could do was to wait for death to befall them.
Elder Randy's gaze paused on Lin Li for a moment, but he quickly turned to look at Princess Elune. Miracles were miracles because they rarely happened. After experiencing a miracle once, would there be a second one in such a short period of time? The answer was obvious.
Elder Randy did not regret dying for the sake of the elves' sacred relic. The only thing he regretted was bringing Princess Elune into a desperate situation. When Princess Elune had been poisoned by the Viper's poison, he should have asked her to withdraw from the operation. However, he did not do so. When he encountered the Green Dragon King, he should have thought of asking her to withdraw, but he did not do so. Although he hoped that Princess Elune would gain the glory of finding the sacred relic, he had clearly overestimated his own ability.
In the long lives of the elves, they might not have experienced true despair once. Even when the elves were facing the allied forces of various races, no one had ever felt despair before. However, Elder Randy did not expect that he would experience true despair twice in such a short period of time. The strength that he was proud of was now powerless. He cast defensive spells mechanically, but he did not know what was the point of continuing.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky. Countless Electric Pythons and Thunderbolts fell like torrential rain. Dazzling golden Devastating Thunderballs slowly floated down from the sky. The immense aura of destruction was so oppressive that it made it hard for them to breathe. Hundreds of Wind Elementals surrounded them, and the Wind and Thunder magic spells came one after another like huge waves.
The magical defense that everyone supported was like a withered leaf in a river or a broken boat in the sea. They did not know when they would be swallowed by the undercurrent and smashed into pieces by the huge waves.
Although Lin Li seemed to be calmly maintaining the high-speed casting, he was actually extremely anxious. Under the endless bombardment of magic spells from the outside world, the speed at which the magical defense was collapsing had already exceeded the speed at which everyone could replenish it. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before the defense was breached. By then, no one would be able to escape.
However, in order to find a way out of the predicament, they had to at least know what the enemy was before they could think of a way to deal with the weaker ones. Just like when they faced the Green Dragon King previously, it was also a dead end. However, the appearance of the baby Elemental Wyrm easily resolved the deadlock regardless of the reason. However, Lin Li had guessed that the last guardian of this realm was the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, but he could not guess who was using Thunderbolt.
In particular, the aura of the Stars of Fury that he had sensed previously made Lin Li unable to figure it out. He stared at the huge Thunderbolt Vortex in the middle of the sky, wanting to see what other secrets were hidden in the Thunderbolt Vortex apart from the debris of the stars that he had basically confirmed.
The powerful magic spells that continued to fall from the sky did not weaken in the slightest, and the hundreds of Wind Elementals around them did not know what fatigue was. The pressure that everyone was under was getting greater and greater. Looking at the layers of defense that were collapsing, despair began to spread in everyone's hearts.
However, at this moment, Lin Li's eyes that were staring at the sky suddenly constricted, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. After waiting for so long, the secret hidden in the vortex was finally imprinted in Lin Li's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for him to see it clearly.
Lin Li could not hide the surprise in his heart, because he saw an arrow and a bow in the Thunderbolt Vortex. The arrow was undoubtedly the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, and the bow was actually the Stars of Fury!
