Osric was so extravagant that he used the Resting Crystal to make such a huge crystal coffin. Ordinary people would never be able to imagine it, let alone see it. The entire 20th floor of the abyss had probably been plundered clean by him.
The words of the Fire Demon King, the aura of the debris of the stars, Nothingness, and the precious Resting Crystal Coffin were enough to convince Lin Li that Osric and Nothingness were most likely in the coffin.
However, at this moment, Rosen, who had been silent all this while, took two steps out of the team, and then turned around to face Andoine and the others. With a solemn expression, he said, "Now that we've come this far, I need to announce to you the goal of the Supreme Council's exploration this time."
When he was in the Alanna Guild of Magic, Lin Li had once asked Andoine what exactly the Supreme Council wanted to gain by interfering in the exploration of Osric's mausoleum. However, for some reason, Andoine and Rosen were both leaders of the Supreme Council, and had participated in this operation together, but they were not very clear about the goal of the operation. Hence, they could only make some speculations based on the information they knew.
Hence, when Rosen said that he was going to announce the Supreme Council's decision, Lin Li, Andoine, and Aldwin couldn't help but look at Rosen. Andoine looked a little helpless, while Aldwin was concerned about what his guild could get. Lin Li, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
"The task given to me by Lord Arbitrator is to bring this crystal coffin back to the Supreme Council!" Rosen glanced at Andoine and Lin Li, and then said with some smugness, "This is the decision of the Supreme Council. I hope that you will cooperate fully, or you will be treated as an enemy of the Supreme Council!"
"Damn it, is this idiot joking?" Angelano, who was controlling the Alchemy Colossus, said to Lin Li through mental strength, "Lord Felic, I believe you won't take that idiot's words seriously. Look, if I help you get that crystal coffin, can you give me the magical crystal under the crystal coffin? "
Angelano had long seen through the relationship between Lin Li and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated Andoine and Aldwin with respect, and even Macklin who had yet to step into the Legendary-realm. Although Angelano was a Goblin who did not have much power, he had lived for tens of millions of years, after all. Hence, he might not take ordinary Legendary powerhouses seriously.
Although Angelano did not hear the conversation between the two of them, he could tell that Lin Li had to be looking for something important through the torture of the soul of the Fire Demon King, and it was very likely to be the weapon that Osric had in the crystal coffin. Since Rosen wanted to bring the crystal coffin back to the Supreme Council, there would probably be some conflict between them.
Although Angelano had been staying in the mausoleum ever since Osric's death, he had no idea about the changes in the outside world over the past 1000 years. However, through the conversation along the way, he also learned about the status of the Supreme Council in the outside world. He also knew that Andoine belonged to the Supreme Council, and Aldwin's Guild of Magic was also affiliated with the Supreme Council.
In Angelano's opinion, under the suppression of the Supreme Council, Andoine and Aldwin would at most remain neutral if there was a conflict between Lin Li and Rosen. Since Lin Li and Rosen were both level-23 Legendary-mages, Lin Li's role would be very important.
Hence, Angelano mustered up the courage to make a request to Lin Li, who was scarier than a demon to him, in hopes of obtaining the magical crystal on the crystal coffin. Of course, in reality, he was also very envious of Osric's weapon, but he did not have the courage to fight with Lin Li for it.
"What magical crystals?" Lin Li had long noticed that the crystal coffin floating in midair was emitting a massive and terrifying mana wave in addition to the special waves of the Crystal of Rest and the aura of the debris of the stars, Nothingness.
At first, Lin Li thought that it was Osric's power, but the giant coffin made of the Resting Crystal was like another space where time had stopped. If Nothingness did not have the power to break through time and space, it would be impossible for any aura to leak out. Hence, the mana fluctuation that he sensed should have come from outside the crystal coffin. Perhaps it was the mana source that was supporting the crystal coffin to float in the air.
However, in terms of the source of mana, the mana fluctuations seemed a little too exaggerated. Lin Li really couldn't imagine how powerful the magical beast must be to have such a terrifying amount of mana. Prehistoric magical beast? Or ancient wyrms? However, it didn't matter if he didn't know, because he had two people who were close to Osric back then. If not, he also had the most loyal servant, the Fire Demon King.
At the thought of this, Lin Li curiously asked Angelano through his mental strength, "Does the magical crystal you mentioned have any special origin?"
"Well, I'm not sure either. I just know that Osric has such a magical crystal with almost infinite mana. If it's used to drive my Alchemy Colossuses, I'll never have to worry about mana consumption, and I can use any powerful weapon at will. Even driving dozens of Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses at the same time would be a piece of cake for that magical crystal, let alone driving my Alchemy Colossuses. " Angelano had obviously fallen into endless fantasies, and his tone was filled with indescribable excitement.
Lin Li was a little disappointed, and then asked Connoris and the Fire Demon King, but the two of them were not much stronger than Angelano. They tried recalling and guessing, but in the end, they still couldn't get a reliable answer. Although he didn't know the origin of the magical crystal, the magical waves emitted by it were definitely the most powerful magical crystal Lin Li had ever seen apart from the magical crystal that controlled the Sky Castle. Its value was probably not much less than that of the crystal coffin.
"Didn't you say you wanted a notebook from Osric? Why? Are you changing your mind?" Lin Li hadn't forgotten that when he captured Angelano back then, the goblin had been persuaded by Connoris to ask for a notebook in Osric's collection, but he didn't say what it was about.
"This, that notebook, isn't it the reward you promised me for bringing you into this place? This magical crystal is the reward for helping you deal with that idiot and snatching what you want. " Perhaps it was because of the Alchemy Colossuses that Angelano's fear of Lin Li was slightly reduced, and he could muster the courage to negotiate.
"It's too early to say that! Connoris, tell him the situation we're going to face. " Lin Li didn't know if Angelano had been to the 72nd floor of the abyss before, but he could tell from the fact that he was still in the mood to negotiate that he clearly didn't know how terrifying the enemy he was going to face was.
"BOOM!" There was a loud sound, and no one knew what Connoris said, but the Alchemy Colossus that Angelano was controlling was so frightened that it fell to the ground. Clearly, even the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus could not give Angelano a sense of security now that he knew how terrifying the enemy he was going to face was.
Angelano's abnormality immediately attracted everyone's attention. However, before the Alchemy Colossus could stand up, everyone felt a sudden tremor coming from the ground under their feet. The flames on the ground that would never be extinguished swayed continuously in the tremor like surging waves. All of a sudden, everyone became nervous, and looked around. Finally, some people who were looking in the direction of the crystal coffin suddenly raised their arms and pointed into the distance. Their mouths were wide open, but they couldn't say anything.
In the direction of the giant crystal coffin, dark clouds had surged out of nowhere and covered the void as they rolled toward the crowd. On the ground, the dark and boundless army of demons also appeared in front of everyone. They were densely packed like a surging black tide, and instantly surged under the crystal coffin towards the exceptionally small team.
"It's the Zago Demons, get ready to fight!" Aldwin yelled anxiously at the mages. The last trace of hope in his heart was instantly shattered by the appearance of the Zago Demons.
Looking at the endless Black Current, everyone including Lin Li couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb. Although the real battle had not begun, there was already an uncontrollable fear in their hearts. Fight? Is there any use!? The Black Current formed by the Zago Demons was getting closer and closer, but there was still no sign of it stopping at the end of their sight. The ground that was burning with inextinguishable flames was covered by the dense Zago Demons. There were more than 10,000 of them, and even a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm would be engulfed by the boundless Black Current.
After all, Aldwin was a level-22 Legendary-mage, and in the current situation, he couldn't waste a single bit of combat power in the face of the endless army of demons. Hence, he handed the Commander's Badge to Macklin, and asked him to be in charge of commanding the mages while he walked out of the team. In his hand, the staff that he had been using along the way had been put away, and was replaced by a quaint staff that could even be said to be somewhat unimpressive. However, holding such a staff, Aldwin's mana rose to the peak of level-23 in the blink of an eye. Only the staff left behind by the God of Mages Geresco in the Alanna Guild of Magic could raise the strength of a Legendary-mage by an entire level out of thin air.
Just like Aldwin, everyone knew in their hearts that they could no longer hold back at this moment. Otherwise, they would have to die with their so-called trump cards. Lin Li first took out the Summoning Lamp, and instantly summoned the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon. If it weren't for the fact that there were burning souls everywhere, he would have even wanted to summon the soul of the Fire Demon King.
