Compared to the Golden Wyrm, the Silver Wyrm was more like an assassin among the ancient wyrms. Although its body was much larger than that of the wyrms of today, it was as fast as lightning, and could travel 5,000 kilometers in an instant. The fine silver dragon scales on its body were almost immune to magical attacks. Although its physical defense was slightly worse than that of ordinary ancient wyrms, few could attack it with its speed. Its sharp claws could tear space apart, and its silver dragon breath could make everything wither.
Almost all ancient wyrms would have terrifying Sanctuary-level power when they reached adulthood, and the Golden Wyrm and Silver Wyrm could be said to be almost invincible among those of the same level. It could be said that the Golden Wyrm and Silver Wyrm were the top existences of the ancient wyrms that were similar to royalty.
In fact, in the current situation, even a random Sanctuary-level ancient wyrm would probably be enough to wipe out the Death Knights that controlled Divine Power, let alone the Golden Wyrm and Silver Wyrm. The Golden Wyrm spat out its dragon breath, and the four Death Knights that were engulfed by the dragon breath turned into ashes in an instant before they could do anything. The Silver Wyrm suddenly descended, and its figure appeared in the sky again in the blink of an eye. The two Death Knights on the ground had already been crushed into powder.
The silver-armored knights that were still menacing just now were like pieces of paper under the attack of the two wyrms. They were so fragile that they could not withstand a single blow. The silver armor and golden skeletons turned into powder in an instant and scattered everywhere. Even the pure Divine Power could not provide the slightest protection for the two wyrms. As they collapsed, the Divine Power dissipated into the surroundings as if it had lost its restraints.
Looking at everything that was discovered in front of them, the violent and domineering power of the two Sanctuary-level ancient wyrms made everyone feel extremely shocked. Even Lin Li was a little absent-minded. Although he had seen the battle between the ancient wyrms and the Titans, the battle between the two sides was still a better reflection of the power of the wyrms compared to the one-sided massacre.
However, at this moment, Lin Li suddenly raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and the Light and Darkness Domain was instantly opened, shrouding the only remaining Death Knight. Next, the figure of the silver wyrm appeared outside Lin Li's Light and Darkness Domain. It seemed to be stunned for a moment, and did not rush into the Light and Darkness Domain. Instead, it turned around and flew into the sky to join the golden wyrm.
"Felic, what are you doing!?" Seeing that Lin Li had actually snatched a Death Knight from the silver wyrm, Rosen immediately hollered in exasperation.
Seeing Rosen's sudden change of expression, Aldwin, Macklin, and the others frowned slightly. Although those silver-armored knights were powerful, there was only one left, and they couldn't do much. Who would take care of them? Was there a need to be so angry? In fact, everyone could tell that Rosen had been targeting Lin Li verbally ever since he arrived at the Alanna Guild of Magic. Clearly, he was going to make use of this opportunity to make a fuss.
"Nothing much, just collecting my spoils of war." Next, countless black and white threads appeared in the Light and Darkness Domain. If one were to look closely, they would realize that the threads were made up of countless magic symbols. Then, countless black and white threads formed a huge net that enveloped the Death Knight.
"Your spoils of war? Are you kidding me? Don't forget your identity. This operation is directly led by the Supreme Council. You have no right to talk about the spoils of war! " As one of the authoritative figures of the Supreme Council, Rosen was respected everywhere in terms of his identity, strength, and age. However, after entering this place, he was repeatedly contradicted by a young man, which was simply intolerable.
Hearing Rosen's words, Lin Li did not react much, but Aldwin and Macklin's expressions changed several times. Lin Li was the President of the Breezy Plains Guild of Magic. If he was not qualified to talk about the spoils of war, what about the Alanna Guild of Magic? Although the Guild of Magic was established under the auspices of the Supreme Council in the beginning, things were no longer the same now, and the Guild of Magic was only subordinate to the Supreme Council in name. Aldwin had put in so much effort to obtain the key to the mausoleum not just to show off to the Supreme Council, but also to fight for real benefits for his Guild of Magic.
"What right? Yes, the Supreme Council has found the location of the mausoleum and opened the Immortal Door, but you have to know that without Master Aldwin's half of the key and the seal in my hand, no one can enter this mausoleum. So, it belongs to whoever gets it. Don't use your qualifications to oppress others. " Lin Li put the captured Death Knight into the Ring of Endless Storm, and removed the Light and Darkness Domain. He did not even look at the two wyrms hovering above his head.
In fact, after Rosen said those words, he already regretted it. He did not regret targeting Lin Li, but rather, he regretted including Aldwin and the others in his anger. However, after hearing Lin Li's words, given Rosen's character, he couldn't bring himself to explain anything to Aldwin even if he wanted to.
"Is that so? It belongs to whoever gets it? Felic, don't think that everything is under your control just because you have some strength. It's just the beginning, and there's still a long way to go! " Rosen said with a sullen face. Unknowingly, he no longer had the mentality of an elder reprimanding a junior. Instead, he treated Lin Li as an equal, and treated him like a real opponent.
"You don't have to remind me about that. You'd better focus on your disciple," Lin Li said sarcastically. It wasn't that he didn't know how to respect his elders, but rather that he was really annoyed with Rosen who took advantage of his seniority. Besides, none of Rosen's words were really out of the public interest.
Damn it, this is the kid who scolded Sendros like a grandson when we were discussing pharmaceutics! Although Andoine didn't say anything, he was obviously gloating over Rosen's predicament with a smirk on his face. He didn't think that he had also been scolded like a grandson when he asked questions about pharmaceutics.
On the other hand, although Aldwin and Macklin were extremely displeased with Rosen's words, the two wyrms hovering in the sky made them dare not show the slightest bit of displeasure. They were two Sanctuary-level wyrms, and any one of them would probably be able to wipe out all the mages.
Seeing that Lin Li had put away the silver-armored knight, Macklin walked over worriedly, pointed at the sky above his head, and advised softly, "Felic, I know you've suffered a lot from him, but don't make things too tense."
"Don't worry, those two wyrms are not dogs. Rosen doesn't have the right to command them at will," Lin Li said with a smile, not bothered at all.
Indeed, the two wyrms were very powerful, so powerful that no one present could contend with them. Even if Lin Li took out all his trump cards, he wouldn't have a chance of winning against the two Sanctuary-level wyrms. However, Lin Li dared to fall out with Rosen at this moment, not because he was blinded by anger, but because he had seen everything clearly.
As soon as Rosen took out the strange staff, Lin Li had already begun to pay attention to his every move. The magic incantation that sounded very long seemed more like a prayer than an incantation. Lin Li's mental strength had already reached the Sanctuary-realm long ago, and he had also been tempered by the control crystal of the Sky Castle. Hence, he was far more sensitive to mana fluctuations than anyone else present.
When Rosen chanted the spell, Lin Li could clearly feel that Rosen did not emit any mana fluctuations that were consistent with the long incantation. Almost all of the massive mana fluctuations came from the staff. Hence, it was clear that the two wyrms were not summoned by Rosen, but came from the strange staff. Ordinary prayers were simply prayers that mortals used to pray to the gods. Since the two wyrms appeared because of Rosen's prayers, it was clear whether he could command them or not.
Previously, be it when facing the countless Magical Crystal Cannons or the Alchemical Undead, the danger that the team encountered was actually no less than now. However, why did Rosen only use the staff now? If he could be sure that he could get through the difficulties with his own power when facing the Magical Crystal Cannons, he couldn't have known that Lin Li would have a way to deal with the Alchemical Undead army.
Hence, it was obvious that the staff that could summon the Sanctuary-level wyrms could not be used so easily. There had to be some unknown restrictions. Everyone knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and even summoning demons would have to pay a soul sacrifice, let alone two Sanctuary-level wyrms. The cost of summoning them would probably be huge.
At the same time, it also meant that the staff did not belong to Rosen, and was likely to be one of the assets of the Supreme Council. They had only lent it to him for this operation. No one had ever heard of a master praying for a long time for his subordinates to work for him. Besides, with Rosen's strength, he would not be able to maintain the confinement of the two wyrms at all. If he were to really be the owner of the staff, he would probably be devoured by the two wyrms.
Apart from those speculations, Lin Li could allow the two wyrms to hover in the sky. More importantly, he was well aware that the two golden dragons and silver dragons were not real wyrms even though they seemed to be in the Sanctuary-realm.
In this era, the ancient wyrms that had once dominated the prehistoric times had long been lost in the long river of history, regardless of how terrifying their strength was. However, Lin Li had witnessed the evolution of Anril for tens of millions of years when he was in the Sky Castle, and he had a far more detailed understanding of the ancient wyrms than others. Although everything came from an illusion, it was precisely because it was an illusion that Lin Li's feelings were not discounted at all. It could be said that it was no different from witnessing it with his own eyes.
When Rosen had just summoned the two wyrms, Lin Li was indeed shocked. However, after carefully watching the battle between the two wyrms and the silver-armored knights, he managed to see some problems despite the short period of time. Although the two wyrms were indeed powerful and surpassed ordinary wyrms, they still did not show the strength that they should have. That was not because their opponents were weak, but rather because their overall aura was far inferior to that of the real golden dragons and silver dragons. If the real golden dragons and silver dragons had appeared, they probably would not have had to attack at all. They would have been able to crush the silver-armored knights with their unparalleled power. Even if they did not target the human team, none of the mages would be able to continue standing except for Lin Li and a few other Legendary powerhouses.
Besides, with his powerful and pure mental strength, Lin Li could clearly feel that the Menace of the two wyrms was lacking in vitality even though it did not have the death aura of the Undead creatures. Not all creatures could become Undead creatures after death. For example, the pure-blooded ancient wyrms were said to condense all the power in their bodies into dragon souls after death, and then return to the dragon graveyard in the chaos of time and space. Lin Li did not know what state the dragon souls were in, nor did he know what the current state of the two wyrms was related to the dragon souls. However, he was certain that the two wyrms were not truly alive ancient wyrms.
Perhaps it was Geresco or the three arbitrators who had sealed the two ancient wyrms of unknown origin in the strange double-headed staff with a special method, hoping to help the Supreme Council tide over some crisis. After all, it was also considered an extremely powerful weapon, and the two Sanctuary-level wyrms were not something that ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses could contend with. Be it the dragon souls or the puppets, the sealers would definitely have to put some restrictions on them lest they go on a killing spree after being released. Or else, they would be taken away by people with ulterior motives who would use the two wyrms to kill.
Indeed, shortly after Lin Li put the last Death Knight into the Ring of Endless Storm, the two wyrms that were hovering in the sky gradually became thinner, and eventually disappeared like smoke. However, Lin Li noticed a detail. As the two wyrms disappeared, or rather returned, Rosen, who was holding the double-headed staff, suddenly turned pale, as if he had suffered some pain.
There was indeed a price to pay for summoning two Sanctuary-level ancient wyrms! The corners of Lin Li's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled faintly. Summoning demons required the sacrifice of souls, and although summoning two Sanctuary-level wyrms was not that evil, there was still a corresponding price to pay. Why was Rosen so nervous about a Death Knight? Apart from targeting Lin Li, the power of these enemies was probably part of the price he had to pay for summoning the two wyrms. Lin Li had taken away a Death Knight, and according to the summoning contract, the two wyrms naturally had to be compensated by the summoner. Although the power of a level-22 Death Knight would not affect Rosen too much, it definitely would not feel good.
