After one of the stars was destroyed, the Gates of the Abyss that had gradually solidified immediately became a little illusory, and the Fire Demons behind the Gates of the Abyss roared furiously. The Fire Demon King, who was entangled with Lin Li and the others, immediately pounced towards Macklin and the others when he saw the changes in the Gates of the Abyss. He wanted to stop them from sealing the Gates of the Abyss.
This time, it was Lin Li and the others' turn to stop the Fire Demon King. Although the Fire Demon King had power that was close to the Sanctuary-realm, he had given up the opportunity to end the battle quickly in order to wait for the Gates of the Abyss to open. At this time, his power was already much weaker, and it had become very difficult for him to break through the siege of the four Legendary powerhouses.
Under Angelano's guidance, Macklin desperately dashed towards the second, third, and fourth star points. Finally, the six star points of the Six-pointed Star Array dimmed one after another. The tall Gates of the Abyss also gradually became illusory with the disappearance of the Six-pointed Star Array, and eventually disappeared without a trace. In the entire palace, apart from the Fire Demon King, there were only a few Fire Demons who were fighting with the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon.
Macklin dispelled the effect of the mana infusion, and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. He pointed at the Flame Demons, and said to the mages who came forward to support him, "Don't worry about me first, kill those guys. Damn it, they actually made me suffer so much."
"Haha, didn't you say that it would be worth dying to experience the power of the Legendary-level?" Angelano joked.
Macklin rolled his eyes, and said, "Do you think it feels good to explode? Why don't you try it?"
With the help of the mages, the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon quickly got rid of the remaining Fire Demons, and the entire palace was restored to its original state. The four Legendary powerhouses were fighting the Fire Demon King.
Unfortunately, the Fire Demon King was no longer as imposing as he was at the beginning. After all, he was not a true Sanctuary-realm powerhouse, and he had to activate the Gates of the Abyss and fight with the four Legendary powerhouses. Hence, he had lost most of his power. Under the siege of the four Legendary powerhouses, the Volcano Domain of the Fire Demon King was constantly being compressed, and the flames on its body gradually became weaker.
Andoine's Thorns Domain spawned countless plants that climbed onto the body of the Fire Demon King, and the raging flames could no longer ignite them quickly. Rosen waved his staff, and a magic storm blasted at the Fire Demon King, causing it to roar continuously. On the other hand, Lin Li condensed all the Angels of Light and Dark into a Light and Darkness Sword that was about to pierce through the roof of the palace. While the Fire Demon King was struggling, Lin Li slashed the sword hard at the tall and scarred body.
The raging flames on the Fire Demon King's body were extinguished in an instant, and its huge body fell heavily to the ground, without a trace of life.
At this time, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Li and the rest also struggled to stand there, their bodies trembling slightly.
However, at this moment, Angelano ran towards Lin Li again, and looked at the Fire Demon King who had fallen to the ground not far away. He whispered to Lin Li, "Remember, you owe me a huge favor."
"Tell me first, where did this guy come from? Aren't the three of you the most powerful warriors under Osric? Where did this guy come from!?" Lin Li couldn't be bothered to argue with Angelano about the favor. Anyway, he had already agreed to it. However, he was really curious about the Fire Demon King who had almost killed them all.
"Speaking of which, this Fire Demon and I can be considered to be familiar with each other. Why did he have to come here to die? I really can't understand," Angelano said while shaking his head and sighing. Angelano shook his head and sighed. However, he did not seem to feel sorry for Lin Li at all. Instead, he seemed to be gloating.
"Is he really Osric's subordinate? It seems that the relationship between you guys isn't that good, "Lin Li said.
"This Fire Demon is Osric's servant, and was summoned from the 66th floor of the abyss. He has followed Osric in battles for many years, and has made countless outstanding achievements. He can be considered the only existence that has witnessed Osric's glory, and even knows many secrets that the three of us don't know," Angelano said softly to Lin Li after looking around.
"You guys have been here for so many years, yet you don't know that he's here too?" Lin Li asked sarcastically. Angelano and the other two who had died were known as Osric's most loyal warriors, and had been guarding Osric's mausoleum for so many years. Yet, they didn't even know about the existence of the Fire Demon. That was a great irony.
Hearing Lin Li's sarcasm, Angelano's face turned sullen, and he angrily said, "We heard that Osric had already terminated the contract with it before he died, and let it go back to its own world. I didn't expect it to be fake. Osric is really treacherous. He actually let it stay in this world even after his death. Damn it, fortunately, I didn't come in myself back then. "
"Hehe, I'm afraid they are guarding against you." However, he still had some doubts in his heart, because judging from the Fire Demon's behavior just now, there seemed to be no sign of the existence of a contract with it.
Previously, everyone was fighting in the Magical Domain, and Lin Li did not feel any restraint in the Magical Domain of the Fire Demon King. The Fire Demon King should be completely free. Besides, Osric had been dead for so many years. Even if he hadn't terminated the contract previously, it should have long dissipated by now.
If that was the case, the Fire Demon should not have been imprisoned here. However, why did it still stay here? It couldn't be as simple as simply wanting to use the Gates of the Abyss to release its own kind, right? Could it be related to the Eternal Furnace? More and more questions appeared in Lin Li's mind, and he was afraid that even Angelano could not give him the answers to those questions.
"You guys should feel lucky too. When this Fire Demon followed Osric back then, he was in charge of one of Osric's most powerful weapons. If that weapon had appeared just now, no one would have been able to survive," said Lin Li. At this point, there was a trace of fear on Angelano's face. It seemed that the terrifying memory that the weapon brought to him was still indelible even after thousands of years.
"The most powerful weapon?" Lin Li was shocked. The most powerful weapon that Angelano mentioned immediately made him think of the last of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, which was also the most important purpose of his trip here — the debris of the stars, Nothingness. In that case, the Fire Demon King might really have something to do with Nothingness.
While Lin Li and Angelano were talking, everyone had recovered a little. Andoine called Lin Li over to discuss the distribution of the spoils of war. The one lying on the ground was the Fire Demon King whose power was close to the Sanctuary-realm, and the Fire Demons that rushed out of the Gates of the Abyss were all in the Legendary-realm. That was a considerable amount of wealth.
Seeing that Lin Li was called over by Andoine, Rosen's face immediately turned sullen, and he even began to think about how he would deal with Lin Li if he were to fight for the level-24 magical crystal.
Throughout the entire battle, the Fire Demon King was killed by Lin Li's last blow, and the Gates of the Abyss were also sealed under his instructions. Further ahead, the fact that they were able to make it this far and safely pass through the traps had something to do with Lin Li. Even the goblin Angelano was captured and persuaded by him. In terms of contribution, if Lin Li was not qualified to obtain the level-24 magical crystal of the Fire Demon King, no one present would be qualified to do so.
However, it was a magical crystal that was close to the Sanctuary-realm, and contained almost infinite mana. No one would be able to resist the temptation of such a priceless treasure. Rosen did not want such a treasure to slip away from his eyes, especially when it fell into the hands of his competitor's student.
"If it weren't for Mage Macklin who destroyed the Six-pointed Star Array, I'm afraid none of us would have survived, and even the entire Anril would have been destroyed. I think it's better for the Alanna Guild of Magic to have this magical crystal." Lin Li glanced at Macklin who was still a little dispirited, and made such a suggestion unexpectedly.
"No, no, I know very well how capable I am. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known about the Six-pointed Star Array. We can't have this thing, right, Mr. President?" Macklin waved his hands in refusal while asking Aldwin for his opinion. However, he obviously did not give Aldwin a chance to refuse.
Lin Li smiled, and said, "Master Macklin, you risked your life just now, and the mages have also suffered great losses along the way. If I don't give this magical crystal to you, am I supposed to give it to the Supreme Council?"
"Enough, Macklin, stop pretending. If you give this magical crystal away, I think you'll regret it so much that you won't be able to sleep well in the future." Although Andoine could not bear to part with the magical crystal, he also felt that what Lin Li said made sense.
Rosen was initially prepared to fight with Lin Li for the ownership of the magical crystal of the Fire Demon King, but he did not expect Lin Li to push the magical crystal to the Alanna Guild of Magic. Since Lin Li, the most qualified person, had said so, and Andoine, who was also the leader of the Supreme Council, had also said so, Rosen naturally could not say anything else. He had no choice but to nod reluctantly and agree to Lin Li's proposal.
"What about you, Felic?" Seeing that he could not refuse, Macklin decided not to be unreasonable, but he still felt that he owed Lin Li a little.
Lin Li pointed at the corpse of the Fire Demon King, and said, "I want this corpse."
"That won't do!" Aldwin and Andoine exclaimed almost at the same time. Although the corpse of the Fire Demon King was valuable, it was worlds apart from the level-24 magical crystal.
"Don't worry, I have a use for it." As Lin Li spoke, he walked straight towards the corpse of the Fire Demon King, but when he passed by Macklin, he said softly, "Congratulations."
Macklin was stunned for a moment and immediately scolded with a smile, "Damn it, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, kid."
Although using the Magic Array to instill mana was a huge burden on Macklin's body, it also gave him a certain understanding of Legendary-level power. Originally, he was already at the peak of level-19. Now that he had experienced the Legendary power, it could be said that it was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Legendary-realm.
Lin Li walked towards the corpse of the Fire Demon King, took out a bottle of potion from the Ring of Endless Storm, and forced it into the mouth of the Fire Demon King.
Seeing Lin Li's actions, Andoine immediately jumped up and rushed towards Lin Li, but unfortunately, he saw that there was only an empty bottle left in Lin Li's hand. He immediately stomped his feet and cursed, "Damn it, this is a Godly Soul Potion. How could you waste it just like that, you wastrel!? This is a Master-level potion that's priceless outside. How can you give it to the Fire Demon King!? Even if you want to recruit a subordinate, you have to see if the Fire Demon King is dead. Since he's already dead, what's the use of his soul if it doesn't dissipate? Besides, this is a demon that's at the peak of level-24. If you save him, will you be able to recruit him? Once the contract backfires, you won't even know how you died! "
What Lin Li fed the Fire Demon King was indeed a Godly Soul Potion, and it was a Master-level potion that was even more valuable than ordinary Master-level potions, because the greatest function of the Godly Soul Potion was to save lives. If someone were to suffer a huge injury and fall into a dying state, the Godly Soul Potion would have to come into play in order to prevent his soul from dissipating.
Drinking the Godly Soul Potion could seal the soul of the injured person in the body for 72 hours. During these 72 hours, the person could be revived if they found a way to treat him. In particular, in this world of magic, as long as the soul did not dissipate, it was not impossible to save a person even if he was cut in half. If it really didn't work, he could still be converted into an Undead creature. Anyway, he would be able to stay alive.
After listening to Andoine's words, Lin Li looked at the old man with a smile, and said, "I just need his soul. It has nothing to do with me whether I can save him or not. As for the backfire of the contract, there's no chance."
"What, God-Soul Potion!?"
When the others saw Lin Li pouring the potion into the Fire Demon King's mouth, they thought that he was dealing with the corpse of the Fire Demon King. When they heard Andoine mention the Godly Soul Potion, everyone almost went crazy at that moment.
Although they couldn't recognize the Godly Soul Potion at a glance like Andoine, it didn't mean that they didn't know its name. They didn't know how high the level of pharmaceutics and how precious herbs were needed to concoct a Godly Soul Potion, but they knew that even in the Pharmacist Guild with many Master Pharmacists, the Godly Soul Potion wasn't something that could be easily taken out. They also knew that the effect of the Godly Soul Potion was comparable to a miracle. For anyone, having a Godly Soul Potion was equivalent to having an extra life.
