"Roar!" All of a sudden, Lothar let out a deafening roar that was filled with anger, and his body began to emit even hotter and more dazzling flames. All sorts of powerful magic spells containing the nomological power of fire continuously bombarded the surrounding forest. The towering trees, thick vines, and dense grass were all destroyed by the bombardment of magic spells.
Although it had not been a long time since he entered the forest, Lothar finally couldn't tolerate wasting so much time on a bug. If it weren't for the forest, he would have long burned that annoying bug to ashes. Hence, Lothar didn't care about Rogge and Nefa now, and instead wanted to destroy the damned forest completely.
After all, the forest was not the real Eternal Forest, and the plants that Lothar had destroyed could still recover quickly with the help of the massive life force. However, when the level-28 ancient Flame Dragon began to destroy the forest with all its might, the recovery speed of the forest was obviously unable to recover.
Seeing such a scene, Rogge immediately panicked. The forest was the most important way to stop Lothar, and if the forest was really destroyed, he would no longer have any hope of stopping Lothar from entering Anril. Although Lothar's attention was all on destroying the forest, Rogge couldn't be bothered to take this opportunity to attack. He had no choice but to stop chanting prayers and fully activate the power of the branch of the Tree of Eternity, even though he knew that doing so would just be akin to quenching thirst with poison.
Even Lin Li dared not watch from the sidelines at this moment. Although his power was limited, he could at least play a little role. Without hesitation, Lin Li raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and bombarded Lothar with the most powerful Legendary-level magic spells that he had.
However, it turned out that Lin Li's Legendary-level power was indeed useless in a battle at the Sanctuary-realm. The Legendary-level magic spells that were already powerful in Lin Li's opinion only caused the Flame Dragon Lothar's golden flames to sway slightly. In this situation, Lin Li could only feel helpless. He reckoned that even if he launched all three pieces of the debris of the stars at the same time, he wouldn't be able to cause much damage to the Flame Dragon Lothar.
However, under Rogge's full support, the recovery speed of the Eternal Forest increased a little, and they stubbornly attacked Lothar to slow down the destruction of the forest. The plants on the periphery of the forest became sparse and even withered, while more and more plants grew where Lothar was, like a huge army of plants that surged towards Lothar.
This time, the Flame Dragon Lothar was even more annoyed. He had initially woken up from his slumber and wanted to find those Titans to exercise his body, but he didn't expect to be provoked by the worm in his eyes. The bug that he thought he could kill with a wave of his hand had actually used this damned forest to tangle with him for such a long time. Now, he wanted to destroy the forest, but the forest actually recovered even faster. How could Noxus tolerate the fact that a mighty wyrm couldn't even deal with a bug and a forest?
However, Lothar was not a fool. After the Eternal Forest's resistance suddenly increased, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. Initially, he thought that the forest had grown naturally in this world. Although the Life Force was ridiculously rich, the forest itself was a place with abundant Life Force. Hence, there was nothing strange about it. After fighting with Rogge, Lothar was constantly attacked by the plants in the forest, but his own power conflicted with the Life Force, after all. It wasn't like he had never seen aggressive plants before. Hence, he at most thought that Rogge had some ability to manipulate plants.
However, after seeing the sudden changes in the forest and connecting it with Rogge's chanting, Lothar immediately understood that the entire forest was controlled by someone, and the person who was controlling it was the bug in his eyes. After figuring that out, Lothar immediately stopped destroying the forest, and turned around to rush towards Rogge who was chanting prayers in the distance. The nomological power of fire that formed the golden flames on his body instantly condensed into countless powerful fire magic spells that swept towards Rogge like a terrifying torrent of flames.
At this moment, Rogge was chanting prayers and trying his best to maintain the Eternal Forest. He couldn't dodge at all, and could only control the plants in the Eternal Forest to form a green barrier in front of the terrifying torrent of flames. However, every spell cast by a level-28 Sanctuary powerhouse, who was half a step away from becoming a god, contained nomological power. The flaming torrent formed by countless such spells was definitely enough to destroy heaven and earth. Wherever the torrent of flames passed, the green barrier made of plants was so fragile that it couldn't even hold on for a second before it was destroyed to the point that not even dregs were left.
Although the torrent of flames was greatly weakened by the Life Force of the Eternal Forest, it was still terrifying. If it really landed on Rogge, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Not to mention, the menacing Flame Dragon Lothar was following closely behind the torrent of flames. He must be determined to kill Rogge in one fell swoop.
Upon sight of such a situation, Lin Li's heart immediately sank to the bottom. The power was simply not something that a human could contend with. This time, Rogge would probably have to hope for a miracle to happen if he wanted to escape. Lin Li had cooperated with others on many expeditions, and he was regarded as a miracle creator almost every time. However, he couldn't think of any solution when faced with such a situation this time.
Seeing that the torrent of flames was about to engulf Rogge's body, a large black figure appeared in front of Rogge at this moment, like an iron gate that blocked the surging torrent of flames. At this moment, Lin Li simply couldn't believe his eyes, because the one who blocked the attack for Rogge turned out to be Nefa who had been playing tricks during the battle.
At this moment, Nefa did not hesitate to overdraft his mana and mental strength, and used the nomological power of destruction and evilness to the extreme. The crimson mist around his body also seemed to have become much thicker, but his massive body still seemed to be a little smaller in the torrent of flames. In the blink of an eye, Nefa's figure was drowned by the flames, and only a dragon's roar that was filled with grief and indignation could be heard. However, the roar was soon covered by the sound of the magic bombardment.
When the torrent of flames came to an end, Nefa's body finally gradually appeared. The thick crimson mist had become much thinner, and the black scales on his body that were originally smooth and shiny had mostly become dim and tattered. They were covered with burn marks, and he looked extremely disheveled. However, although they had survived the torrent of flames, the crisis that Nefa and Rogge were in had yet to be resolved. The Flame Dragon Lothar that followed the torrent of flames had also approached them at this moment.
"You really are as depraved as your father!" Lothar exclaimed when he saw that his attack had actually been blocked by Nefa, who was also a wyrm, and immediately shifted all his anger to the traitor of the wyrms.
Although Lothar had also been harassed by Nefa from time to time during the previous battle, he felt that Nefa wasn't really helping Rogge, judging from Nefa's indolent attitude. Hence, he didn't take Nefa's harassment to heart. However, Nefa had now actually used his body to block a fatal attack for Rogge, which made Lothar feel like he had been betrayed. The anger that was brought about immediately surpassed everything, and Lothar's heart had already risen to the point of hatred. The forest and the insects were no longer important to him, and his only thought was to kill the traitor of the wyrms in front of him.
Nefa, who was severely injured, didn't even have the time to rejoice that he was still alive when he was glared at by Lothar with hatred in his eyes. He couldn't help but shiver, and he secretly lamented that he had been wronged. Do you think I did it willingly? If it weren't for the information that Rogge had, I wouldn't have had to pretend to be such a hero!
However, the Flame Dragon Lothar didn't care what reason Nefa had, nor did he intend to give Nefa a chance to explain at all. He simply pounced towards Nefa without stopping.
Nefa's strength was incomparable to that of the Flame Dragon Lothar in the first place, and now that he had suffered a severe injury, he definitely wouldn't dare to fight head-on with Lothar. He immediately ignored Rogge who was behind him, and hurriedly dodged to the side. However, to Nefa's dismay, Lothar actually abandoned Rogge, who was right in front of him, and chased after him in another direction. A chase broke out in the Eternal Forest.
Seeing this scene, Rogge simply stopped moving. In fact, he couldn't move at all. If he hadn't helped Nefa just now, how could Nefa have really survived Lothar's attack? Nefa's injuries weren't enough to affect his movements, but Rogge had been seriously injured during the confrontation of nomological power. However, it was not the time to rest and heal his injuries now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rogge stood there and continued to chant prayers to perfect the Eternal Forest, hoping to use the power of the Eternal Forest to make the Flame Dragon fall asleep again.
"High Priest, I hope this thing can help you." Seeing that Nefa had lured Lothar away, Lin Li immediately flew towards Rogge, and took out the Seed of Eternity that he had obtained from the Sky Castle.
"The seed of the Tree of Eternity!" Rogge recognized the thing in Lin Li's hand at a glance, and was immediately astonished. The seed of the Tree of Eternity and the branch of the Tree of Eternity were two different concepts. The branch of the Tree of Eternity only contained an extremely small part of the power of the Tree of Eternity, while the seed of Eternity contained the inheritance of all the power of the Tree of Eternity. If the Eternal Forest was produced by the seed of Eternity, it wouldn't be as difficult for them to deal with the Flame Dragon Lothar.
However, sensing Rogge's surprise, Lin Li seemed a little awkward, and he said, "It's indeed the seed of the Tree of Eternity, but it was already dead when I got it. I don't know if the seed of death is still useful here."
The reason why Lin Li didn't give the seed of Eternity to Rogge in the beginning was that he didn't know that the Flame Dragon Lothar was so terrifying, and also because he felt that a dead seed of Eternity might not be of much help to Rogge. After all, the dead Seed of Eternity was just a huge source of mana in Lin Li's opinion. Apart from providing a large amount of mana, it had no other use.
"Is it already dead?" Rogge also felt the abnormality of the seed of Eternity, but he was only stunned for a moment. His tone was still rather agitated, and he said, "But it doesn't matter. I think we can give it a try!"
Rogge was actually not confident, but there was really no other way. With his strength, he could only exert the power of the branch of the Tree of Eternity to this extent. Everyone knew that it was basically impossible to make the Flame Dragon Lothar fall back into a deep slumber with such power.
Since Rogge said that they could give it a try, Lin Li didn't say anything else, and directly handed the Seed of Eternity to Rogge. He couldn't be bothered to think about reviving the Seed of Eternity and planting the Tree of Eternity in the Tower of Dusk in the future. As long as he could get through this crisis, he wouldn't hesitate at all even if he had to destroy the Seed of Eternity completely, because he would only have a chance to think about the future if he could save his life. Otherwise, what was the point of keeping the Seed of Eternity?
Moreover, given the current situation, the only thing that Lin Li could take out was the Seed of Eternity, which he didn't know if it would be useful or not. Although the five pieces of the debris of the stars were powerful, Lin Li was only able to exert their power by relying on his understanding of them before he transmigrated and the constant enlightenment he had gained in Anril. If he were to hand it over to Rogge now, Lin Li wouldn't be afraid that Rogge wouldn't return it after borrowing it, but if he wasn't careful, Rogge might get injured by the debris of the stars, let alone rely on them to defeat the Flame Dragon Lothar.
Rogge didn't waste any more time. After receiving the Seed of Eternity from Lin Li, he used his mental strength to sense it, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. However, Rogge didn't explain to Lin Li, and simply held up the Seed of Eternity that looked like a green ball of light, and began to quickly chant a prayer that was completely different from before. The dead green light that originally enveloped the Seed of Eternity seemed to have become alive at this moment, and continuously devoured the life aura in the Eternal Forest before spitting out a purer and more massive life aura.
Rogge, who was chanting the prayer, looked extremely pious, and his body was emitting an extremely pure Holy Brilliance that made Lin Li feel like he was bathing in Holy Light. However, at this moment, Lin Li wasn't in the mood to enjoy that comfortable feeling. Instead, he looked at the forest not far away. There, Nefa and Lothar were engaged in an intense chase. Nefa's curses and screams, Lothar's furious roars, and the loud roars of various magic spells caused the entire forest to tremble constantly.
Ever since Lin Li found out that he had almost been tricked by Nefa, he had been itching to skin this damned black dragon alive. If he hadn't used Gloomy Dark during the battle with the Fire Phoenix and used its power to wake Rogge up, everything would probably have gone according to Nefa's plan.
