Besides, Aldwin and Macklin did not want the last seeds of the mages to really die in this place. The crystal coffin and the treasures were all reserved by the Supreme Council. Why should I lose the last bit of capital of the Guild for the sake of the Supreme Council!?
Upon hearing Lin Li's words and seeing that Andoine and the others had actually agreed, Rosen immediately panicked. He rushed towards Lin Li in two steps, and hollered agitatedly, "Leave! We've already come this far, and we're going to leave just because of your words? Don't forget your identities. This operation is led by the Supreme Council, and I'm the leader who represents the Supreme Council. No matter what happens, you have to stay and contribute all your strength in order to achieve the goals of the Supreme Council! "
Rosen's words made Andoine, Aldwin, and the others look sullen, but Lin Li did not want to waste time arguing with Rosen. He waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and unceremoniously said, "Don't use the Supreme Council to pressure me. You only have two choices. You can either leave or die!"
Damn it, that's a perfect body that's close to a divine body. Besides, Osric's original strength was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. He might even become a god after his resurrection. It would be great if he could become a god. Perhaps he could just leave this world. If Osric was resurrected and still had his original strength, who in the whole of Anril would be able to stop this lunatic with his strength and intelligence!?
If it weren't for the fact that he was worried that Rosen might wake up Osric in the crystal coffin, Lin Li wouldn't have bothered to care about him. However, if Rosen refused to be tactful now, Lin Li wouldn't mind being accused of killing the leader of the Supreme Council in order to ensure the safety of himself and everyone else.
Lin Li's blatant threat immediately made Rosen's face turn sullen. Although he was furious, he had to admit that Lin Li did have the ability to do so. He had already used up the opportunity to summon the wyrm, but Lin Li did not lose much power because of the battle. Not to mention the Goblin who was controlling the Alchemy Colossus that was obviously biased towards Lin Li, the subordinates that were made up of Undead creatures and demons were not something that he could deal with. Moreover, what made him especially fearful was the petite unknown creature lying on the other party's head. Although it looked like a pet that women loved, its small body contained a powerful strength that even he was afraid of.
Seeing that Rosen did not answer, Lin Li's patience finally ran out. The gem at the top of the Helios' Scepter lit up with a dazzling light, and his subordinates surrounded Rosen.
However, just as Lin Li was about to attack, a powerful magical wave suddenly erupted in the sky, and the crystal coffin that was floating quietly suddenly landed on the ground with a destructive force. The space around the giant crystal coffin seemed to distort and collapse, like a giant whirlpool caused by a sinking ship. A strong traction force pulled everyone towards the center of the whirlpool. That distorted space was enough to tear anyone into pieces, even a Legendary powerhouse.
At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind, and that was to run. Lin Li, Andoine and the rest, the mages commanded by Macklin, and Lin Li's subordinates were like a flock of birds that had been startled by a stone thrown into the air. Among the group of mages, a few of the weaker mages were fiercely pulled in by the spatial vortex and disappeared without a trace in an instant. Not even a scream could be heard. Not even their remains were left behind, which made everyone's hearts palpitate.
Only when they felt that the pulling force on their bodies had lessened did Lin Li and the others finally dare to stop, and turn around to look at the falling crystal coffin in shock. If an ordinary stone fell from the sky, it would have great power. Imagine if it was a small mountain!
BOOM! With a loud sound, the crystal coffin finally landed on the ground, and the entire abyss shook violently, making it impossible for anyone to stand firmly. The powerful shock wave also spread towards the surroundings at this moment. On the ground that was burning with the inextinguishable azure flames, a rapidly expanding vacuum zone could be seen, revealing the ground that had been hidden under the azure flames for an unknown number of years. With the crystal coffin as the center, a large crack spread rapidly in all directions like a spider web. Lin Li and the others, who had just landed, were pushed further away by the powerful force of the shock wave.
"Damn it, if that crystal coffin was erected, I'm afraid it would have smashed directly into the 73rd level of the abyss!" Lin Li finally managed to stabilize his body, and turned around to look at the crystal coffin.
The abyss in front of him had already become a scene of devastation, and the inextinguishable flames on the ground had already disappeared, replaced by a large crack. The largest crack was so large that even a Mammoth Behemoth would not be able to see its shadow if it fell into it. The ground around the crystal coffin had completely collapsed, forming an incomparably huge depression. It had smashed out a basin on the Abyss Plain.
Beside the crystal coffin, a figure had appeared out of nowhere, holding a spear that seemed to have no substance. The spear seemed to not exist in this space at all, and the space around the spear seemed to have collapsed, making it seem illusory.
Without a doubt, this was the perfect body that Osric had created, or rather, the resurrected Osric! Lin Li looked at the handsome face that would make even women jealous. He had long blond hair, pointed ears, pale skin, and bloodshot eyes. In particular, the massive mana waves that were constantly emitting from his body were all indicative of his identity.
Sensing the terrifying power of the other party, Lin Li felt a little hopeless. His strength was definitely above the Sanctuary-realm. Perhaps he was level-26 or level-27, but definitely not level-25. Although Lin Li had not stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, he could tell that the other party's strength was already on a completely different level from ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. He could definitely be considered one of the most powerful existences in the world.
"BOOM!" Amidst the silence, there was another loud sound, and it was the Alchemy Colossus that Angelano was controlling. It fell heavily onto the ground. It was once one of the sharpest knives in Osric's hands. Naturally, it would recognize its former owner. Although the body was created by Osric, its appearance did not change.
At the same time that the Alchemy Colossus sat on the ground, Lin Li could clearly feel the Fire Demon King's terrifying mental waves coming from Balak's magical crystal. Even the hammer on Lin Li's back was trembling continuously, revealing the fear in Connoris' heart.
Osric glanced at Lin Li and the rest from afar. Apart from the eye-catching Alchemy Colossus, he seemed to have already known about the existence of the Fire Demon King and Connoris. He calmly said, "Since you have chosen to betray me, you have to bear the consequences of your betrayal."
"You, you are not the real Osric. You are just a body. Osric is dead! Dead! " Under extreme fear, the most timid goblin, Angelano, finally couldn't help but jump up and scream hysterically.
Angelano's scream that was filled with terror seemed to have caused the surrounding temperature to plummet. Everyone present could not help but feel a deep chill, as if their souls were about to be frozen in an instant. At this time, be it the Legendary-mages like Andoine and Rosen, or the Archmages in the team of mages, everyone's body was trembling uncontrollably. All of this was because of the name that Angelano mentioned — Osric!
Although none of the human mages present, including Andoine and the rest, had lived through the era that Osric was in, they had never experienced Osric's terror firsthand. However, a mythical figure had suddenly appeared in front of them. To the crowd, it was the same as witnessing a deity descending to the world with their own eyes.
Although everyone felt that it was a little illusory when it came to myths, don't forget where they were. Everyone had personally experienced the terror of the Zago Demons. Not to mention how powerful Osric was in the myths, just the fact that he could place the coffin on the 72nd floor of the abyss was enough to make everyone feel hopeless. In the eyes of everyone, Osric's tall and straight figure seemed to be a real god, and they could not even think of fighting against him.
"Death is nothing more than what you ignorant mortals see. I will achieve true immortality through this!" Osric propped the spear in his hand on the ground, and looked at the crowd emotionlessly as if he was looking at ants.
Indeed, with Osric's strength, Legendary-mages like Lin Li, Andoine, and Rosen, as well as those Archmages who had yet to step into the Legendary-realm, were no different from ants. Before this Highlord died, he had even killed the ancient deity Balak, and even obtained the magical crystal to occupy the 72nd floor of the abyss.
"Felic … Felic, did you notice? He said that he will achieve immortality, which means that he has not achieved true immortality yet. It must be the Ghost in the Sky Castle. I was wondering why he would create such a monster. His soul must have already merged with the Ghost, and this body still needs to merge with that Ghost in order to be truly resurrected. That's right, it must be so. A perfect body and a strong soul are all the conditions for him to achieve true immortality! " Although Connoris was also full of fear for Osric, this fear did not affect his thinking.
"Damn it, what a lunatic. He used his own soul to do that kind of thing!" Lin Li originally thought that the Ghost in the Sky Castle was left behind by Osric to deal with the person who had obtained the magical crystal of the Sky Castle. However, it seemed that Osric was not that bored. The real purpose of leaving the Ghost behind was probably to make use of the Psychic Array to allow the Ghost to continuously absorb the power of the Sky Castle to strengthen itself, and prepare for the final step of achieving true immortality.
Of course, this information did not seem to be of much use in the current situation. After all, even if it was just a perfect body, it was already a powerful existence of level-26 or level-27. Compared to the strength of Lin Li and the others, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Osric's cold gaze swept across the crowd, and he coldly said, "Now, offer your lives to beg for my forgiveness, mortals!" The spear in his hand paused slightly on the ground, and a huge burst of power erupted. It was as if the entire space was frozen, and everyone's soul trembled.
"Wait! Since … since you are already going to achieve true immortality, why bother with mortals like us? Go and complete your own important things. Isn't it not worth it to waste time on mortals like us? " The situation was pressing, and Lin Li had no choice but to speak softly. If he still wanted to be a hero at this time, he would really be an idiot.
Lin Li's idea was not bad. According to Connoris' conjecture, if Osric really wanted to be resurrected and achieve so-called immortality, he would most likely need to fuse with the Ghost in the Sky Castle. One was a perfect body, and the other was a Ghost that was fused with 100,000 souls. If the two were to fuse together, it would be possible for him to become a god, let alone a resurrection. As for what Osric was going to do after his resurrection, it was not something that Lin Li had to worry about. Anyway, there were many Sanctuary powerhouses in Anril now, and he had to deal with the problem in front of him first.
However, it was obvious that even if it was just a body controlled by the Soul Imprint, it was not something that Lin Li could easily fool. After hearing Lin Li's words, Osric shifted his gaze to him. His gaze was like a sharp arrow that pierced through the soul. Perhaps he had recalled something, there was finally a trace of emotion in his tone. He said, "You have been to his Sky Castle. The facts have proven that I am the right one. I will become the true immortal! "
Although Osric's perfect body was only controlled by a little Soul Imprint now, it did not mean that he was a walking corpse without the ability to think. From Lin Li's simple and seemingly insignificant words, he could already tell that Lin Li had very likely been to the Sky Castle, and should have seen the Ghost or soul that he had left there.
"His" Sky Castle? Lin Li knew that the "him" that Osric was referring to was obviously his teacher, the Immortal King. However, when Osric mentioned the Immortal King, his tone obviously lacked the respect that a student should have for his teacher. Lin Li could even sense a trace of resentment and disdain in Osric's tone.
