"I have a mission for you. Later on, you …" Lin Li told Angelano about his plan while continuing to cooperate with Andoine and the rest to attack Osric.
"If, if your plan goes wrong, I will definitely die. Osric will not let me off! Why don't we leave now? "Angelano manipulated the Alchemy Colossus to take two steps back. His fear of Osric was completely revealed.
"Leave? You can escape for now, but where can you escape to when Osric is completely resurrected? Don't tell me you don't know how Osric deals with traitors? When that time comes, you won't be able to die even if you want to, "Lin Li scolded without holding back.
Lin Li's threat was rather effective on the Goblins. Although the era of Osric had passed a long time ago, Angelano still remembered how Lin Li dealt with the Fire Demon King. The pain of being unable to live or die made Angelano break out in cold sweat. If he were to really end up like that, he might as well just die.
Finally, the Alchemy Colossus rejoined the battlefield. However, it did not attack Osric as crazily as before. Instead, it moved around the battlefield like a huge assassin.
Seeing that the Alchemy Colossus was getting closer and closer to the planned location, Lin Li once again began to attract Osric's attention. Just like how he had confirmed Osric's range of activity previously, he slowly led Osric to the edge of that range. A level-23 Legendary-mage had to lure a level-26 or level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse. Not only could he not escape too quickly, but he also had to be careful not to be killed. This task sounded simple, but it was not easy at all.
There were many more wounds on Lin Li's body. Although he avoided fatal wounds, the continuous loss of blood also took away a lot of his strength. His movements became slower and stiffer. Lin Li gritted his teeth and persevered. Although he did not know what the outcome of his plan would be, the importance of the four pieces of the debris of the stars forced him to gamble with his life.
Finally, Osric was led to the location of the plan. Just as he was about to turn around and give up on Lin Li, Lin Li quickly recited the incantation formed by the ancient demonic runes. The massive abyssal power immediately landed on Osric's body, and the powerful suppression only slowed him down for less than a second. At this moment, Angelano, who had been wandering in the battlefield, had also activated the full power of the Alchemy Colossus.
However, Angelano did not use all of his power to attack Osric. Instead, he rushed to the front of the crystal coffin and converted all of his power into a driving force. Under the powerful force that could topple a mountain, the crystal coffin was pushed in the opposite direction of Osric. In the blink of an eye, it had moved more than 10 meters away.
The suppression of the abyss had disappeared, but Osric was still standing in front of Lin Li. He pointed the Void Spear at Lin Li, but did not do anything else.
Lin Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the plan had finally succeeded. The Soul Imprint that controlled the perfect body might have been awakened too hastily, and thus did not completely integrate with the body. Hence, it could only control the movements of the body in the Eternal Furnace. Now that the perfect body had left the control of the Soul Imprint, it immediately became an object without an owner.
Of course, the crisis had not really passed yet. With Osric's intelligence, he might soon be able to think of a way to regain control of the body. Lin Li did not dare to delay at all. He seized the opportunity, and yelled at Connoris, "Didn't you want me to help you create a body? When are you going to occupy this body if not now?"
At this moment, the hammer that Lin Li had been carrying on his back suddenly let out a crisp sound of something breaking. Next, a soul that was emitting a faint glow flew out of the hammer. After transmitting an incantation to Lin Li's mind with mental strength, it pounced on the perfect body that Osric had created without hesitation.
Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and slowly chanted the incantation that was made up of hundreds of demonic runes. The obscure and long incantation was particularly jarring in the silence. As the spell was recited, the massive force of the abyss appeared again, and continuously infused into Osric's body. It helped Connoris to get rid of Osric's will and seize control of the body.
Time passed by. The perfect body that Osric had created was constantly glowing with all sorts of lights. It was as if the skin and muscles had become transparent. Sometimes, it would reflect the organs, and sometimes, it would reflect the bones. The expression of the body was also constantly changing. One moment, it was frowning as if it was in extreme pain, and the next moment, it was smiling proudly …
After Lin Li gulped down a potion, he bent over and held his knees with both hands. He was already a little weak from the blood loss, and the spell that was formed by hundreds of demonic runes increased the burden on his body. He did not care about Connoris' current situation at all. He had already done what he could, and the rest was up to Connoris.
However, looking at the strange state of Osric's body, the surrounding people's hearts were in their throats. They had all seen a soul rushing into Osric's body just now, so they could guess what was happening in that body. If that soul failed, then Osric would very likely appear again. By then, everything would be the same as before, and everyone would still not be able to avoid the fate of being slaughtered by Osric.
However, if that soul succeeded and really occupied the body that Osric had created, would everyone really be safe? When that soul rushed out, everyone had already felt the power of that soul, and they had a deeper understanding of the power of Osric's body. Even if the fusion between a powerful soul and a powerful body was not complete, and could not reach the Sanctuary-realm, it would at least be able to reach the peak of the Legendary-realm. As the degree of fusion continued to deepen, it was certain that it would not be difficult to step into the Sanctuary-realm. No one knew what would happen to them when such a powerhouse who they did not know was a friend or foe had appeared.
Andoine, Aldwin, and Macklin, the three people who were close to Lin Li, had all heard from Lin Li that he had a very ancient soul. Previously, the soul of the Fire Demon King had already been integrated into Balak's magical crystal. Hence, the one that had taken over Osric's body now should be that ancient soul. However, they all knew that the old ghosts that had been sealed for countless years were generally extremely twisted in temperament, and could not be reasoned with at all. When they were sealed, they could still listen to Lin Li, but once they were out of the seal, they might not be so easy to control.
Hence, Andoine, Aldwin, and the mages led by Macklin could not be bothered to rest at this time, and were all ready to cast spells at this time, hoping that they could save Lin Li in time if there were any abnormalities in that body.
Rosen, who had already treated his wounds, was now leaning on his magic staff and looking at Lin Li from afar with a gloating smile on his lips. Although they had just fought side by side, that did not affect Rosen's hatred for Lin Li at all. At this time, seeing that Lin Li was digging his own grave, he was naturally happy to watch from the side.
"Greed is the greatest sin!" In Rosen's opinion, when Osric's body had problems just now, the best thing to do would have been to destroy this body with a thunderous blow. However, that arrogant young mage actually wanted to take this opportunity to snatch Osric's body with a sealed soul. Clearly, he wanted to use this method to create a powerful subordinate.
However, a powerful subordinate would depend on whether the master had the ability to suppress it. Rosen had no doubt that the combination of the powerful soul and the powerful body would create a powerful freak. However, that was definitely not a good thing for that arrogant young mage. How could a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm be willing to submit to others? Not to mention a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm, even a powerhouse of the same level would not do such a degenerate thing. Felic was only a level-23 Legendary-mage, and if anything were to happen during this period, he would be digging his own grave.
At this moment, the expression on the face of Osric's body finally gradually calmed down, and the magical light that was emitted from his body slowly converged. Osric's body, which could now be called Connoris, opened his tightly shut eyes and glanced at the people around him. Finally, his gaze landed on Lin Li, who was in front of him, and an indecipherable smile appeared on his face.
Seeing Connoris' performance, Andoine and the rest did not relax at all. Instead, they became even more nervous. The magic staffs in their hands were already glowing with a high degree of mana, and they were ready to launch a thunderous blow at Connoris at any time.
However, Lin Li, whose injuries had slightly recovered, stood up and gestured to Andoine and the rest to stop them. He was also smiling as he looked at Connoris, who had obtained a new body.
Connoris took a deep breath, and suddenly began to recite the ancient demonic runes. The incantation that others found difficult to pronounce was unusually smooth and light in his mouth, as if he was humming an ancient song.
Hearing Connoris reciting the incantation, Andoine and the rest became nervous again. However, when they thought of Lin Li's gesture of stopping them, they suppressed the uneasiness in their hearts, but did not let down their guard at all. At this moment, Rosen, who was far away, had a look of joy in his eyes. It was as if the long-awaited show was about to begin.
However, to everyone's surprise, the magic that Connoris completed with the ancient demonic runes had a familiar effect. That magic was actually a servant contract!
The mages present were not unfamiliar with the servant contract. In fact, most of the followers under mages who took the initiative to seek refuge would sign such a servant contract. Unlike the Blood Oath, the Soul Contract, and the Slave Contract, the servant contract would not make the contractor completely lose himself, nor would he give all of his power to the master of the contract without reservation. There was no terrifying effect of the death of the master and the death of the servant. Under the constraints of the servant contract, the relationship between the master and the servant was more like an employment relationship. The master could not endlessly exploit the servant, and could not kill the servant at will. On the other hand, the servant would not do anything that was disadvantageous to the master.
No one would have thought that the soul that had seized Osric's body did not do anything to harm Lin Li after obtaining great power. Instead, he did not split up with Lin Li. Instead, he took the initiative to sign the servant contract. From the effect of the contract, everyone knew that the master of the contract would be Lin Li, and the soul that had seized Osric's body would be the servant. In other words, as long as Lin Li was willing, this powerhouse that was close to the Sanctuary-realm would listen to his orders for a long time.
At this moment, Rosen was about to go crazy. Could it be that the soul had become a fool after being sealed!? He actually gave up such a good opportunity to regain his freedom, and even took the initiative to become the servant of that arrogant Felic.
Andoine and the rest, on the other hand, were greatly relieved, and looked at Lin Li with joy in their eyes. It was not only because the crisis had been resolved, but also because they were gratified to see the growth of their juniors.
After completing the servant contract, Lin Li looked at Connoris' new body from head to toe, and then took out a set of magic robes from his ring and threw it over casually. With a nonchalant expression, he said, "What are you doing? We've known each other for so long, how can I not trust you?"
Connoris took the magic robe, and wrapped his perfect naked body in it. He looked at Lin Li from the corner of his eyes, and said indignantly, "Don't treat the great Soul Trader as an idiot. Do you think I, Connoris, don't know what kind of person you are? If I didn't take the initiative to sign the servant contract with you, would you be able to sleep? Maybe you've already left some traps on this body … "
What a strong body! It was indeed the body that Osric claimed could achieve immortality! Connoris checked the condition of his new body, and although he did not find any abnormalities, it confirmed his conjecture. He had been with Lin Li for so long, and naturally knew that although Lin Li was not very strong now, his tricks were definitely inhuman. In the words of the Fire Demon King, this human was definitely a demon in the eyes of the demons.
After all, Connoris was an ancient deity that was in charge of conspiracies and deception. Although his strength was not as strong as before, he did not rely on his fists to make a living.
