"Willen, you're right, but I'm not you. How can I resist the temptation of that power? Immortal King, since you're known as the Immortal King, why did you leave behind an arm to harm others … "Rodhart muttered to himself, seemingly remorseful.
Lin Li initially didn't want to care about what Rodhart said at all. He just wanted to see Rodhart get purified. However, after hearing Rodhart's words, Lin Li's heart skipped a beat. Did Rodhart really choose to become a Retribution Knight because of the Immortal King's arm?
Legend had it that the Immortal King fought with the Dragon of Destruction. Although he eventually killed the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas, he was injured by the Dragon of Destruction's dying counterattack, and one of his arms fell into the Breezy Plains. Lin Li had actually confirmed this piece of news from Nefa and Rogge when he was in the big rift. Rodhart was said to have obtained the Immortal King's severed arm, and thus chose to walk the opposite path of Willen, and degenerate into a Retribution Knight.
Back then, Rogge watched the intense battle between the Immortal King and the Dragon of Destruction, and was eroded by the death aura emitted by the Immortal King. That was why he became a Retribution Knight. Rodhart had obtained the Immortal King's arm, and it was indeed not difficult for him to become a Retribution Knight with the infinite death aura in it.
Regarding the Immortal King's arm, Lin Li thought of something that happened a long time ago. Didn't the Syer Bandits attack Black Clouds Town for the Immortal King's arm that Willen had sealed in the chapel? However, after he led his men to annihilate the Syer Bandits, he did not find the Immortal King's arm in their lair. It seemed to have been taken away by another force.
Lin Li did not care much about the Immortal King's arm. The key was that he had heard from Nefa and Rogge that the Immortal King's arm seemed to be holding onto a weapon when it was smashed by the Dragon of Destruction's dying counterattack. The weapon that the Immortal King used was naturally the Stars of Fury that Lin Li had painstakingly found.
Since Rodhart had obtained the Immortal King's arm, where was the weapon in the severed arm's hand? Looking at the dying Retribution Knight, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the other weapon that was with the Immortal King's arm now?"
Even without the debris of the stars, the Stars of Fury was still a very powerful weapon. According to the standards of Anril, it was probably not an exaggeration to call it a divine artifact. Lin Li didn't think that Rodhart would neglect such a powerful weapon when he obtained the arm of the Immortal King.
"Heh …" Rodhart chuckled with some difficulty. The soul fire in his eyes was like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time. There was no longer a trace of death aura on his body.
"That weapon, you must have seen it before, right? Where is it now?" Seeing Rodhart's condition, Lin Li couldn't help but get a little anxious. Clearly, the Retribution Knight had reached the point of exhaustion, and it would be too late if he didn't ask any questions now.
However, the corners of Rodhart's mouth curled up slightly, and he revealed an inexplicable smile as he said with difficulty, "It … It left behind ice and fire, and then left …"
"What do you mean left? Where did it go!?" Lin Li dashed forward and reached out to grab Rodhart's shoulder. However, as soon as his hand touched Rodhart's armor, his tall body collapsed like a sand sculpture.
Damn it! Make yourself clear before you die, bastard! Looking at the ashes on the ground and the Eternal Frost Blade that was stuck in it, Lin Li didn't seem to feel any joy of victory at all. Instead, he was filled with grief and indignation. He had finally found a clue about the Stars of Fury, but he could only watch helplessly as it slipped away in front of him. Wasn't this f * cking messing with him?
Lin Li reached out to pull the Eternal Frost Blade out of the ground, and threw it into the Ring of Endless Storm without even taking a look at it. Although the Eternal Frost Blade was also a rare Legendary magical weapon, it was far inferior to the Stars of Fury. Lin Li wasn't in the mood to admire it at all.
Lin Li put away the debris of the stars, Holy Light, and the Holy Ring, and the incomparably majestic Divine Power in the palace immediately converged. The power that could purify even the Sanctuary powerhouse disappeared without a trace. Lin Li stood on the spot and looked at the original position of the skeletal throne in the palace, and then at the pile of ashes on the ground. He was rather emotional.
"Chirp!" A shriek filled with joy sounded in the palace, and immediately afterwards, a petite figure pounced on Lin Li's face like a bolt of lightning. It stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Li mindlessly.
After being disturbed by Xiao Hua, Lin Li was in a much better mood. He used a magical crystal to entice Xiao Hua to come down, and turned around to look in the direction that Xiao Hua had come from. Connoris, Norfeller, and Ujfalusi were all walking in from the outside, followed by the Holy Death Knights.
Seeing that Lin Li was standing in the middle of the palace without seeming to be injured at all, Norfeller and Ujfalusi hurriedly walked a few steps towards Lin Li, and said in unison, "Master, it's great that you're alright!"
Lin Li nodded, and his gaze landed on Norfeller.
In the previous battle, Lin Li had seen the scene of Norfeller unleashing his potential, and he knew that the current condition of the Vampire servant was probably not as good as it seemed on the surface. Hence, he took out a potion that was emitting Dark Force, and handed it to Norfeller. "Drink this."
The potion was a by-product of Lin Li's preparation of the Tribute of Darkness. Although its effect was far inferior to that of the Tribute of Darkness, it was still quite effective for dark creatures. Norfeller didn't ask anything, and simply grabbed the potion with both hands. Without hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and poured the potion into his mouth.
Although the Soul Contract was the same as the blood oath, and both had the condition that the master would die, and there seemed to be no difference between loyalty and disloyalty, Norfeller chose to sacrifice his life in this desperate battle, while Ujfalusi chose to wait passively. That was the difference between loyalty and disloyalty. Although Lin Li did not intend to punish Ujfalusi for this, he felt that it was necessary to reward Norfeller for his loyalty.
Looking at the surging Dark Force that erupted from Norfeller's body after he drank the potion, Ujfalusi immediately became envious, and he regretted not risking his life for it back then.
Although the 40 Archmages were physically and mentally exhausted after the fierce battle, their gazes towards Lin Li were filled with fanatical admiration. The Retribution Knight was a true Sanctuary powerhouse who was almost as powerful as a god. Yet, he was killed by Lin Li just like that. What was the problem that the Tower of Dusk was facing now!?
"Clang!"
Connoris walked towards Lin Li, and threw the remaining half of the Holy Light Cross Spear onto the ground. He grumbled in displeasure, "Look, this is the best product of your workshop. It's even worse than a fire stick. I don't care anymore. Since you're not willing to let me use Osric's weapon, you have to make me a decent weapon after we go back this time. "
The Holy Light Cross Spear was a magical weapon that Lin Li had personally designed. Hence, it naturally wouldn't be as weak as Connoris made it out to be. However, Connoris was facing the siege of 20 Death Knights this time, and it was already not bad that the spear could last until the end.
In fact, Lin Li knew that Connoris was still thinking about the spear that the debris of the stars, Nothingness, had used in the past. However, Connoris was now considered the most important combat power under Lin Li, and he indeed needed a better weapon to maximize the power of the perfect body.
Of course, Lin Li couldn't give Nothingness to Connoris. He happened to remember that Rodhart had left behind the Eternal Frost Blade after he was purified. Hence, he said, "The Eternal Frost Blade is with me. You can use the Eternal Frost Blade after I study it."
Although the Eternal Frost Blade couldn't be compared to the Spear of Nothingness, it was still a rather powerful Legendary weapon. Besides, it was somewhat similar to Nothingness in terms of Space Power. Connoris humphed twice, and didn't say anything else.
After packing everything up, Lin Li brought everyone out of the underground cave. There was nothing else worth wasting time in the underground palace. Archbishop Englos was waiting at the exit of the cave. He knew that there were many Undead creatures under Lin Li, so he didn't bring any believers of Light with him.
"Archbishop Englos, thank you very much for your help this time." Lin Li asked his subordinates to go ahead first, while he approached Englos to express his sincere gratitude.
Englos smiled, and said, "You know what happened to Rodhart, too. We can't say that it has nothing to do with the Brilliance Shrine. Besides, we were just praying outside the battlefield. By the looks of it, has everything been resolved? "
"Yes, although there were some accidents in the plan, it was finally resolved successfully with the help of you and the believers of Light. Let's talk while we walk." Lin Li wasn't being humble at all. If Englos and the believers of Light hadn't set up the Holy Light Mageweath Array outside, the outcome would have been completely different.
The two of them walked out slowly, and Lin Li briefly told Englos about the battle in the underground palace. Although everything had ended, Lin Li still couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he talked about Rodhart's ferocity. Englos also felt a sense of lingering fear after hearing that. At the same time, he also felt a little sad about Rodhart's death. After all, he was once a mythical figure.
When they were about to leave the Dragon Mountains, Lin Li invited Englos to the Tower of Dusk as a guest to express his gratitude. However, as the archbishop of the Brilliance Shrine, Englos had many scruples, especially since he had brought many believers of Light with him this time. In the end, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Lin Li regretfully.
Watching Englos leave, Lin Li reunited with his team, and embarked on the road back to the Tower of Dusk.
