The 18 Death Knights that rode on Shapeshifters formed a small formation, and charged around in Lin Li's Light and Darkness Domain. The Death Knights that Lin Li had subdued in the Crack of Death did not seem to be that powerful now. The highest level Death Knight had just reached level-19, and the lowest was only level-18. It could be said that after Lin Li subdued them, there was basically no change in the strength of the Death Knights due to the lack of opportunities to devour soul fire.
Lin Li originally planned to use the skeleton of the Titan obtained in the Haiga Mountain Range to build a legendary Black Front Fortress that could effectively enhance the strength of the Death Knights. Unfortunately, he had been trapped in the chaos of time for half a year, and after returning to the Tower of Dusk, he had been busy with his own matters. Hence, he did not have the time to build the Black Front Fortress. Besides, as he gained more and more power, he also neglected the Death Knights. After all, even if he spent time building the Black Front Fortress, the strength of the Death Knights could not be increased immediately.
In fact, the Death Knights were truly a system of their own among the Undead creatures. They were not bound or influenced by any power, and only the Death Knights could command them. Only those Death Knights that had broken through level-20 could command their own kind. They were called Retribution Knights. When Lin Li subdued the Death Knights, it was actually because he was mistaken for a Retribution Knight by the Death Knights. Otherwise, the Death Knights would not obey him even if they all died in battle.
Generally speaking, there could only be one Retribution Knight among the Death Knights. When a Retribution Knight appeared, all the Death Knights in Anril would give up their own path of evolution, and let their power stay at the original level forever. They would also dedicate all the power that they had obtained by devouring soul fire to the only Retribution Knight. However, the strength of the Death Knights would not stop just because they stopped evolving. As long as the Retribution Knight who led them became stronger, they would be able to exert more power in battle. In fact, they would even be able to exert more power.
Although Lin Li was not a real Retribution Knight, and could not make the Death Knights stronger through the effects of the halo, he could not make them stronger. However, he still had the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, that could strengthen all Undead creatures. For the Death Knights, the Light and Darkness Domain that Lin Li had just launched was equivalent to a halo that strengthened their combat power. Although the Death Knights in the Light and Darkness Domain were not high-level, their combat power was actually not much worse than that of a real Retribution Knight.
However, Lin Li felt that it was a pity that there were too few Death Knights. The formation formed by the 18 Death Knights was like a needle in the boundless Dark Current. Even though it was sharp enough to pierce through all obstacles, its effect on the enemy was almost negligible. Lin Li felt rather regretful as he looked at the cavalry that was charging left and right in the Black Current. If it had been in the Seven-Realm Spiral, the Death Knights led by the Retribution Knight would have been able to hurt the Zago Demons even if they could not destroy them.
The Lord of Nightmares was biased towards mental attacks. In addition to disrupting the attacking rhythm of the Zago Demons, he could also control a few Sickle Black-armored Demons to attack their companions from time to time. Demon Gordon was like a small Alchemy Colossus that was glistening with a metallic luster. While slaughtering the Sickle Black-armored Demons that were constantly surging towards him, he would tear off the thick shells and sickles from the corpses from time to time, and chew on them as if they were delicious.
Ujfalusi rode on the Humerus Wyrm, and hovered above the Death Knights in the Light and Darkness Domain, continuously casting various debuff curses on them. This time, he did not summon the Undead Army. In front of the Zago Demons, the skeletal clubs would not have any effect at all. Hence, his mission was to follow the Death Knights and weaken the enemies that they were facing.
Vampires were natural assassins, and in such a large-scale battle, the role that an assassin could play was actually very limited. However, Norfeller was, after all, one of the rare Legendary powerhouses among the Vampires. With the talent that he comprehended at level-22, he could easily see the enemy's fatal weakness. Hence, even though he could only attack one enemy at a time, the results of the battle were very obvious. Almost every attack could kill a Sickle Black-armored Demon.
While commanding his subordinates to deal with the waves of attacks from the Zago Demons, Lin Li shifted his gaze to the other battle circles from time to time. He naturally did not care about Rosen's life or death. What he really cared about were the three old men, Andoine, Aldwin, and Macklin. Andoine was the teacher who had led him into the palace of magic, and held a very important position in his heart. Aldwin and Macklin had also helped him a lot when he participated in the trial of the Alanna Guild of Magic. Although Lin Li still could not protect himself, he would definitely not sit idly by if the three old men were to really be in danger.
However, based on the current situation, the situation that Lin Li was worried about was unlikely to happen. Although Andoine was also a level-23 Legendary-mage, and the Thorns Domain that he created was not a very powerful Magical Domain, his combat experience was obviously more than a level higher than Lin Li's.
In Andoine's Thorns Domain, the wildly growing plants had completely covered the burning flames on the ground. Thick vines were like green pythons that tightly entangled any enemy that entered the domain. Although the scythes of the Sickle Black-armored Demons with fine serrated teeth were extremely sharp, it would be difficult to cause much damage to the seemingly fragile plants if they lost the space to swing them. After cutting off a vine, two or three more would immediately entangle it. The hard and smooth shell of the Sickle Black-armored Demons could only helplessly make a cracking sound under the tight grip of the green pythons.
The problem with the Thorns Domain was not that Lin Li had misjudged it, but rather that Andoine's rich combat experience allowed him to exert the power of the Thorns Domain perfectly and make up for the weakness of the Thorns Domain. At least for now, the Black Current that was constantly surging did not pose any effective threat to Andoine.
Not far from Andoine was Aldwin, who had forcibly upgraded by one level with the help of the staff left behind by Geresco. However, this kind of increase in strength with the help of external objects was only an increase in strength. The real understanding of the nomological power that a level-23 should have could not be obtained out of thin air. Although Aldwin showed the magical waves of level-23, there was still a big gap between him and a real level-23 mage.
Fortunately, Aldwin's Magical Domain was the Skyfire Domain that was purely characterized by its power. Although there was no room for this Magical Domain to evolve, it was still quite advantageous at the Legendary-level. In the sky within the scope of the Magical Domain, the crimson clouds of fire rolled continuously, and fireballs fell to the ground like rain. The flames on the ground seemed to have been engulfed by the flames of the Skyfire Domain, and turned into a burning sea of fire.
The Zago Demons that had just entered the sea of fire seemed to have been doused with oil. They were instantly ignited, and turned into huge torches. Some of the higher-level Zago Demons seemed to have a certain resistance to fire magic. Their carapaces were burned red, and they continued to pounce towards Aldwin. However, the fireballs that fell from the sky crashed down mercilessly, and were swallowed by the flames.
Although it seemed that Andoine and Aldwin were not in a very difficult situation, Lin Li still commanded his subordinates to slowly move towards the two of them. This was because Lin Li knew from Connoris that the Sickle Black-armored Demons were just cannon fodder among the Zago Demons. The real strong enemy had yet to appear.
However, it was not easy to move in this turbulent Black Current. It did not mean that one could just fly over directly, and they had to maintain a tight defense. On Lin Li's side, there were not only Shadow Assassins and Death Knights, but also many Legendary powerhouses. However, they still felt like a small boat in this Black Current. They had to put in a lot of effort for every meter they moved.
At this moment, the Black Current in the direction that Lin Li was facing suddenly split into two sides, and a figure that was nearly 100 meters long rushed into the Light and Darkness Domain. The figure had a black carapace that was shaped like a giant shield on top of its head, and its two forelimbs were giant sickles that were more than 10 meters long. Its entire body was like that of a python that was covered with a thick carapace. There were thick and sharp spikes on its back and sides of its body.
A Shadow Assassin suddenly flashed out of the darkness like a black lightning bolt, and shot towards the head of the giant creature. However, the gigantic python-like Demon's movements were unexpectedly swift. It turned its head slightly and spat out a mouthful of thick liquid at the Shadow Assassin that was shooting over. In an instant, the Shadow Assassin's body that was made of Shadow Iron was corroded by the liquid, and the soul that was sealed in it was instantly turned into ashes in the flames.
"Hell Python!" Lin Li was shocked, and could no longer be bothered to move towards Andoine. He raised the Helios' Scepter high in his hand. Dozens of Angels of Light and Dark suddenly condensed in the void, and continuously flapped their black and white wings. They held spears and giant swords in their hands, and charged towards the Hell Python that rushed into the Light and Darkness Domain.
The Hell Python was one of the main combat forces of the Zago Demons, and was definitely stronger than the Sickle Black-armored Demons that were cannon fodder. In addition to having strong power and extremely high defense, the liquid that it spat out was highly poisonous and corrosive. It was much stronger than the dragon breath of the green dragon. More importantly, although the Hell Python was one of the main combat forces of the Zago Demons, it was definitely not a high-end combat force. Although it was not as numerous as the cannon fodder, there were definitely many of them.
Dozens of Angels of Light and Dark swarmed forward, and the sharp spears and giant swords that were condensed from the Power of Light and Darkness could not do anything to the carapace of the Hell Python. The Hell Python swung its giant scythe forward, and directly split the Angels of Light and Dark in front of it into two. It then spat out a mouthful of venom. Even the bodies of the Angels of Light and Dark that were condensed from the Power of Light and Dark could not resist the corrosion of the venom.
Lin Li's research on the Power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark was much deeper than before. Although the Angels of Light and Dark were condensed in a hurry, each of them had the power of level-18. However, even with such power, the Angels of Light and Dark could not hold on for a moment in front of a Hell Python.
Behind the Hell Python, Lin Li could clearly see that the turbulent Black Current was continuously splitting into many channels, and that the Hell Pythons that were about 100 meters long were rapidly passing through the Black Current towards him and the other battlefields.
Although Lin Li had heard about it from Connoris, he only knew how terrifying the Hell Python was after experiencing it for himself. Lin Li's face became a little gloomy, and he suddenly clenched his left hand tightly. The dozens of Angels of Light and Dark surrounding the Hell Python immediately gave up on attacking, and directly pounced on the huge body of the Hell Python. The conflict between the Power of Light and Dark caused a violent explosion. Although the Hell Python's defense was amazing, it could not withstand the conflict between the two opposing forces of light and darkness.
With the roar of the explosion, the 100-meter-long Hell Python was finally blown into pieces in the flickering light and darkness. However, even though he had destroyed a Hell Python, Lin Li did not feel relaxed at all. Such an attack had consumed a lot of energy. If there were dozens of Hell Pythons, Lin Li could still deal with them. However, looking at the endless Black Current in the distance, he was afraid that there were at least hundreds of Hell Pythons.
Besides, Lin Li still remembered that Connoris said that the Hell Python was not considered a high-end combat power among the Zago Demons, and the real high-end combat power was still at the back. In fact, not to mention the Zago Demons, even if Tyrant Balak came out alone, none of them would be able to escape. After all, Balak was a real ancient deity, and one of the few powerhouses among the ancient deities. Even a Sanctuary powerhouse would probably not be a match for it.
The situation in front of them was simply a dead end. The reason why Lin Li had used all his means was because he was unwilling to give up. Besides, if Lin Li died here, none of his servants who were bound by the Soul Contract would be able to survive even if they did not participate in the battle.
"Go to hell, you disgusting worm!" Angelano's hysterical roar could be heard from the battlefield.
The Sickle Black-armored Demons did not pose much of a threat to the huge Titan-level Alchemy Colossus at all. In fact, it did not even need to use any magical weapons, as it could just stomp on them with its huge feet.
