Each of the hundreds of Vengeful Spirits that had condensed into corporeal entities had power that was close to the Legendary-level. Although they had not been dealt with by Osric, they were definitely a powerful force that could not be ignored. In an instant, an intense battle broke out between the two teams. Be it forced or voluntary, the Souls of the Dead who had stayed behind to guard Osric's coffin seemed to have not forgotten their battle instincts when they were members of the Magic Legion. Although they did not have a leader, they were still able to advance and retreat with tacit understanding.
If it had been in the past, Aldwin's team of mages would have encountered the Army of the Dead that had an absolute advantage in terms of both strength and quantity. Even with the cooperation of four Legendary powerhouses, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. However, Aldwin had now put on the Commander's Badge, and the massive Mental Strength Network had almost truly connected more than 150 mages as a whole. Although they had not practiced for a long time, the mages still exerted terrifying combat power that was more than twice as strong as before.
Under the Mental Strength Network of the Commander's Badge, Aldwin was the only one who had to command. Lin Li and the other two Legendary-mages could not even intervene. Besides, there seemed to be no need for them to intervene. The three of them actually had nothing to do for a while, and the only thing they had to do was to advance with the mages. Lin Li only took out two gemstone bombs that were like Heavenly Holy Stones, and threw them at the Army of the Dead opposite him. The burst of Holy Light immediately engulfed more than 10 Souls of the Dead.
Although the corporeal Vengeful Spirits had an extremely high resistance to magical attacks, magic did not only bring about magical damage. For example, the Ice Spears mainly caused piercing damage, while the falling stones could cause a certain amount of blunt damage. Aldwin directed the mages to press forward step by step against the characteristics of the corporeal Vengeful Spirits. Every wave of magical attack could force the other party to retreat, and those who refused to retreat would be engulfed by powerful targeted magical attacks.
With the help of the Commander's Badge, the battle was almost one-sided. The intense battle only lasted for less than 10 minutes, and the Army of the Dead was turned into ashes. The strong death aura dissipated, revealing the steps to the second floor of the minaret. The leaders looked at each other. Although they did not say anything, they could see the doubt in each other's eyes.
Aldwin commanded the mages to carefully step onto the second floor of the minaret. Although the space of the minaret was vast, it could still be seen at a glance. However, the second floor seemed to have become another world, surrounded by endless weeds. The sky was dark. There were no clouds, no sun, moon, or stars. Only when the crazy enemies suddenly rushed over did everyone realize that they were in the seventeenth floor of the abyss. It was an army of Tren Demons that rushed up.
A Tren Demon with a bull's head and a lion's body was a type of demon unique to the 17th level of the Abyss. Its most powerful weapons were the sharp horns on its head and the sharp claws that could break rocks. At the same time, they could also spit out the Petrification Curse. Those who were hit by the curse would have their organs petrified, but their bodies would become their food. Even the Demon Monarch of the 17th Floor of the Abyss did not dare to clash head-on with a group of Tren Demons. However, to the mages, the thousands of Tren Demons could not stop them.
Back then, Osric's Magic Legion had swept through dozens of floors of the abyss to plunder unique resources and capture the Demon Monarch. Now, although the mages of Alanna were still far from being comparable to the High Elves' Magic Legion in terms of strength, they could be considered a quasi-Magic Legion with the Commander's Badge. The impact of the thousands of Tren Demons was instantly disintegrated by the mages, and the scene of the seventeenth floor of the abyss also disappeared, revealing the full view of the second floor.
Although the strength of the enemies on the next few floors was obviously getting stronger, they could not form an effective resistance under the overwhelming attacks of the four Legendary-mages and the quasi-Magic Legion. However, the smooth process made Lin Li and the others more and more puzzled. This was where Osric's coffin was. Even if the mages had the Commander's Badge, and Lin Li had already used up more than 30 gemstone bombs, everything seemed to be going too smoothly.
Now that they thought about it, the battles in the steeple didn't seem to be difficult at all. In fact, it was even worse than the battle with Angelano and the other two gravekeepers, and the battle with the silver-armored Knights. Even the initial battle with the Alchemical Undead army would have been more difficult than the battle in the steeple if Lin Li hadn't found the control center.
With doubts in their hearts, they found the way to the sixth floor of the steeple, which was a door that exuded a heavy and ancient aura. Through the layers of ripples that were constantly flickering on the door, they could only vaguely see that it seemed to be a dark and desolate wasteland.
Although Lin Li did not hear a word from the Fire Demon King, Lin Li had told them afterwards that the sixth floor of the steeple was likely to be where Osric's coffin was. Hence, although the first few floors seemed to be too easy, they still decided to take a break there first so that everyone could recover as much as possible to their best state.
"M-Lord Felic, can you …" Angelano said as he controlled the alchemy machine and approached Lin Li. He stammered as if he wanted to say something.
"What?" Lin Li turned his head to look at the cowering Goblin, feeling amused. No one would have imagined that one of the three sharpest butchers under Osric was actually a coward who felt no sense of security after leaving the Alchemy Colossus.
After being glanced at by Lin Li, Angelano couldn't help but shrink his neck. After a while, he mustered his courage again, and said, "We're about to reach the sixth floor. Can you return my Alchemy Colossus to me?"
"Your Alchemy Colossus?" Lin Li asked as he touched the Ring of Endless Storm on his hand and looked at Angelano calmly.
"No, I said it wrong. It's yours, it's yours. Can you lend it to me first?" Although Angelano had green skin, his face turned pale after hearing Lin Li's words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He hurriedly shook his head and corrected himself.
The alchemy machine that Angelano was controlling now was just a simple means of transportation. It did not have much combat power at all, and any Archmage would probably be able to deal with him easily. Without his contribution in breaking the magic traps, Angelano would be no different from a burden in a face-to-face battle without the Alchemy Colossus.
However, what about the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus? Although Angelano had been defeated by Lin Li, the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus had exerted a powerful combat power that was close to the Sanctuary-realm under his control. The reason why Angelano had lost to Lin Li was that the Titan Dragon Spear contained Thunderbolt Power, which made him lose consciousness. Without a controller, the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus was naturally at Lin Li's mercy. However, a trace of the power of lightning from the Titan Dragon Spear had once helped Lin Li kill the powerful Double Death Dragons. The fact that it only made Angelano lose consciousness was enough to prove how powerful the Alchemy Colossus was.
Lin Li glanced at the somewhat illusory door. Although the first few floors seemed to be easy, the sixth floor of the steeple was where Osric's coffin was, after all. No one knew what kind of enemy was waiting inside. However, no matter what, it was always good to have one less burden and more combat power. Hence, Lin Li nodded, and brought Angelano to the empty space next to the team. He raised his hand and released the Alchemy Colossus from the Ring of Endless Storm.
Seeing that the partner that had accompanied him for thousands of years had appeared in front of him, Angelano immediately forgot about the fear in his heart, and controlled the alchemy machine that he was sitting on to pounce towards it. Lin Li had only damaged the joints of the Alchemy Colossus, and those were the parts that were easy to wear and tear in the first place. Hence, there was no lack of replacement parts. Angelano first carefully looked at the damage on the body of the Alchemy Colossus, and then took out the metal parts from the body of the Alchemy Colossus. He then began to jump up and down and get busy.
"Felic, aren't you worried that this Goblin will have other thoughts now that he has the Alchemy Colossus?" Andoine asked with a slight frown as he walked towards Lin Li and looked at the busy Angelano.
Lin Li smiled, and nonchalantly said, "If I can deal with him once, I can deal with him again."
Lin Li was definitely not bragging. Even if Angelano had learned his lesson and stopped touching the Titan Dragon Spear and activating the Thunderbolt Power in the Titan Dragon Spear, he still had the more powerful debris of the stars, Thunderbolt. The power contained in Thunderbolt was not something that the Titan Dragon Spear could compare to. Even without the real Stars of Fury, Lin Li could still use the power of the Crossbow of Reincarnation and his level-23 strength to deal with Angelano.
Not long after, Angelano stopped, jumped off the alchemy machine excitedly, and crawled into the control cabin of the Alchemy Colossus. With a series of clattering sounds, the various Alchemy Arrays on the body of the Alchemy Colossus shone with dreamy light, and its huge body slowly sat up from the ground. The Alchemy Colossus first grabbed the alchemy machine that Angelano had ridden before, and stuffed it into its body. It then used its arms to support itself on the ground, and jumped up from the ground agilely like a warrior.
"Wahahahaha, the great Lord Angelano is back again. Tremble, insignificant mortals!" A dull voice came from the body of the Alchemy Colossus, and it was different from Angelano's original sharp voice. Hence, it must have been produced through some voice-changing device. Next, the Alchemy Colossus moved a few times, and stomped its feet hard, causing the ground to seem as if it was going to be broken. A strong earthquake immediately spread out in all directions.
