While Megard was speaking, the Sky Tower had already arrived above the Immortal Gate, and the mageweaths and Alchemy Arrays engraved under the base of the tower gradually glowed brightly, forming a faint beam of light that shrouded the space below. As the beam of light fell, the already boiling nomological power gradually calmed down, but it did not recover. Instead, it seemed to have solidified. The massive black vortex in the crack on the ground had also become much slower at this moment, unlike when it had just opened.
"You guys can set off now," Megard said.
Everyone agreed in unison, and without saying anything else, they turned around and walked out of the Sky Tower. Although they were all old men apart from Lin Li, there was a hint of excitement on their faces. After all, in the history of Anril, Osric was an existence that was second only to the Immortal King and Geresco. Hence, being able to participate in the exploration of his mausoleum was of extraordinary significance to anyone.
"Felic."
Just as Lin Li was walking out with the crowd, he suddenly heard Megard's voice coming from behind him.
Regardless of what had happened in the past, Lin Li still respected this mythical figure who had survived the Dark Age. He stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Megard who was in front of the crystal ball, and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"
Megard did not turn around, and instead continued to stare at the crystal ball. He calmly said, "After you go in, be careful of the ghosts inside."
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and after waiting for a while, he realized that Megard did not say anything else. Hence, he had no choice but to thank him and walk out in confusion. Lin Li was a little confused as to whether Megard was reminding him out of kindness or hinting at him with ulterior motives.
After interacting with Megard for the past two days, Lin Li could clearly feel that the arbitrator of the Supreme Council was obviously biased towards Rosen on many matters. Actually, there was nothing much to say about that. After all, Rosen was Megard's student, and even an arbitrator could not be absolutely impartial. That made Lin Li puzzled. Why did Megard deliberately stop him at this juncture instead of reminding his student Rosen?
If it was a kind reminder, why didn't he make it a little clearer? He only said, "Be careful of the spirit inside." What did the spirit refer to? It couldn't be a vengeful spirit, right? Lin Li walked outside, caught up with the people in front of him, and left the Sky Tower together. Even when he arrived in front of the Immortal Door, he still couldn't figure out what Megard meant.
From the Immortal King to Geresco, then to Highlord Osric, and now to Megard, it was indeed difficult to guess the thoughts of these mythical existences. Lin Li could be considered experienced in dealing with such problems. Since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well not make guesses.
Standing in front of the huge crack in the ground, Lin Li looked at the black vortex that was constantly rotating in the crack, and felt the power emitted by the black vortex. Lin Li was secretly shocked.
The power emitted by that huge black vortex seemed to have exceeded the scope of magic. It was a massive nomological storm, and all sorts of nomological powers were forcibly pieced together by an even more powerful and irresistible force, regardless of the characteristics of the nomological laws. There were all sorts of conflicts and contradictions between the nomological powers. Once the power generated was released, its power would be enough to destroy heaven and earth. Yet, they were now forced to stay there. Clearly, the power was extremely powerful.
Lin Li raised his head and looked at the Sky Tower in the sky. It was no wonder that the Supreme Council had even mobilized their own headquarters, which was also controlled by the arbitrator. If it weren't for the suppression of the Sky Tower, none of them would have been able to pass through the black vortex alive.
Around the crack in the ground, the three Undead Lords had already collapsed to the ground after opening the Immortal Door. Even the soul fire in their eye sockets seemed much dimmer. They couldn't even take out a trace of extra power to repair the wounds on their bodies that had been smashed by the fallen stars.
However, when Lin Li followed the crowd to the Immortal Door, the three Undead Lords glanced at everyone, and their eyes suddenly stopped on Lin Li. They then struggled to get up from the ground, ignoring the weakening soul fire and the wounds on their bodies. One of the Humerus Wyrms' wings had already been broken, and they could only use the other to support their heavy body. They swayed and straightened their bodies, leaving messy deep marks on the ground. The Lich King held onto the staff that was full of cracks, and his body was trembling like an old man. He raised his head and revealed his face under the hood. After several failed attempts to stand up, the Skeletal Lord had no choice but to kneel on the ground on one knee and try to straighten his back. However, the weakened soul fire in his eye sockets was still flickering wildly.
However, after a while, the three Undead Lords returned to their half-dead state, as if all the power in their bodies had been drained by the struggle just now. Their soul fire was also dim like candlelight in the wind. That moment of abnormality did not attract anyone's attention. The arbitrator Megard and the Sky Tower were right above their heads, and no one would think that they could bring about any changes in such a situation.
Although the black vortex was emitting a powerful aura that could destroy everything, everyone still stepped into it without hesitation, and their figures disappeared in the vortex in an instant. Lin Li did not hesitate at all, either, and strode into the vortex with the Helios' Scepter in one hand.
As soon as his body sank into the black vortex, Lin Li immediately felt a huge pressure and tearing force coming from the surroundings, which was the power produced by the constant conflict and explosion of various nomological powers. If it weren't for the suppression of the Sky Tower, Lin Li was certain that he wouldn't be able to escape from the nomological storm no matter how many trump cards he had.
However, even though the suppression of the Sky Tower had eased the nomological storm a little, Lin Li did not feel good at this moment. In particular, the nomological power was constantly stirring up the mana in Lin Li's body, causing the originally docile mana in his body to go on a rampage as if it wanted to rush out of his body and regain freedom. At this juncture, Lin Li finally experienced the distress of having infinite mana, and he had no choice but to mobilize all his mental strength to suppress the rampage.
Fortunately, Lin Li's mental strength had far exceeded the standard of his level after the continuous improvement of the Evil Eye Tyrant's magical crystal and the tempering of the magical crystal that controlled the Sky Castle. Although his current strength was only at the peak of level-23, his mental strength was already enough to reach the standard of a Sanctuary powerhouse. Under the suppression of such powerful mental strength, the massive and almost infinite mana was tamed again before it could cause any waves.
After some time, Lin Li suddenly felt a flash of light in front of him, and the speed of his body's descent also increased abruptly. He was so shocked that he hurriedly cast a Power of Flight to stabilize his body, and slowly descended. After doing that, he finally had a chance to see the environment he was in.
I'm actually in the sky? Lin Li looked up, only to see a huge black vortex slowly rotating in the blue sky. He then looked down at his feet, and realized that he seemed to be at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and below him was a green ocean, a huge man-made building, and a few black dots. They should be Andoine and the others who had entered before him.
During the process of falling, Lin Li looked into the distance again, and saw dense forests, winding rivers, and undulating mountains. Everything seemed to be the same as the scene in Anril. If it weren't for the massive palace, Lin Li would have thought that it was a joke that Osric had made to bring people to another corner of Anril with the Immortal Gate.
What is this place? Is it really an underground world? Lin Li landed on the ground and looked at Andoine and the others who were equally shocked. He then stomped on the weeds under his feet. Everything seemed so real, and it didn't seem to be an illusion at all.
"Hah, it's really spectacular!"
After observing the surrounding environment, Lin Li turned to look at the huge black vortex in the sky. The elite mages of the Alanna Guild of Magic were continuously passing through the vortex. There were more than two hundred mages on the ground, but it was quite an interesting sight to see more than two hundred mages descending from the sky. In particular, none of the mages had stepped into the Legendary-realm. All of them could only use the Levitation Spell, and they floated to the ground like leaves blown by the wind.
After a while, all the mages landed safely, and immediately formed a defensive formation as quickly as possible. None of them hesitated because it was Highlord Osric's mausoleum. It was as if the huge underground world could not arouse their curiosity at all. It seemed that in their hearts, their current task was to fight according to orders, and all other external things could be ignored at this moment.
"President, the mages have been assembled, and we're ready to be deployed at any time!" Lampard, the leader of the mages, walked towards Aldwin, and respectfully asked for instructions for the next step.
Aldwin nodded, but did not answer immediately. He first looked at the end of the grassland, where there was a huge blurry building, and then looked at Andoine and Rosen. The arbitrator Megard stayed on top and used the Sky Tower to suppress the Immortal Door. The two leaders of the Supreme Council were naturally in charge of the operation now.
"This is the world created by Osric. No one knows what he has arranged to welcome us. I hope that everyone will be vigilant and set off," Andoine said to Aldwin and the rest with a solemn expression as if he had changed into a different person.
The huge building at the end of the grassland was undoubtedly where Osric's mausoleum was located. However, although the Legendary powerhouses could not wait any longer, they did not immediately use the Power of Flight to fly over. Instead, they followed the mages who had already formed a defensive formation and moved forward at a relatively slow speed.
After all, not every Archmage could use the Levitation Spell as well as the Power of Flight like Lin Li. To them, the Levitation Spell was not a spell that could increase their speed. Besides, everyone knew that Osric was not a kind-hearted person. He was a butcher who had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of living beings with a wave of his hand. Although the surroundings seemed peaceful and quiet, no one dared to be careless. If there were any accidents, the Archmages who used the Levitation Spell to fly in the sky would become the best targets for the enemy.
"What exactly are the origins of those three Undead Lords?" Lin Li asked as he followed the team forward slowly. Seeing that the huge building was still a little far away, he could not help but take the opportunity to ask Andoine.
Although the three Undead Lords in the Shadowglen were stronger, Lin Li felt that they were very similar to the three Undead Lords in the Seven-Realm Spiral. He wondered what kind of relationship the three Undead Lords had with the Immortal King, Osric, and Geresco that allowed them to survive from that era until now.
Putting aside the current attitude of humans towards Undead creatures, the High Elves would definitely not allow the existence of ugly and filthy Undead creatures during the Dark Age. Although the three Undead Lords had Legendary-level strength, they were no different from three stinky bugs in front of the powerful High Elves. However, even though the Dark Age had ended and the High Elves had been exterminated, the three Undead Lords were still living comfortably in the Shadowglen. That was not a matter of luck.
"I'm afraid even the two arbitrators from the Dark Age might not be clear about their origins, but it's said that they had already existed in Anril long before the rise of the High Elves. However, there aren't many records about their existence in the historical records. Perhaps the information left behind is too incomplete, or perhaps that's the reason they've been able to survive until now. " As an authority on the High Elves, Andoine frowned slightly with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Although Andoine was also an old man, his age was far inferior to that of old monsters like Apophis and Megard. Most of the things he knew about the Dark Ages were obtained from studying various documents and materials. However, at the end of the Dark Age, Anril was filled with the flames of war, and even the precious knowledge could not be preserved, let alone some historical records.
"Oh, I see." Lin Li was somewhat disappointed that he did not get the answer he wanted, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he continued to ask, "When we were outside just now, the arbitrator Megard was clearly about to kill them. Why did he stop because of what the Skeleton King said? Could it be that there really was an agreement between them and Geresco?"
