Back in the big crack of the Eternal Darkness Altar, Nefa, who was a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, had inherited the Laws of Destruction and Evilness from Azardas. The High Priest of the Darkness Rogge, who had once fought alongside Geresco, was probably stronger than the three Sanctuary arbitrators of the Supreme Council after his physical form had changed. However, the two powerful Sanctuary powerhouses were beaten by the Flame Dragon Lothar to the point that they could not retaliate. If it weren't for the two holy artifacts, the branch of the Tree of Eternity and the Seed of Eternity, the two Sanctuary powerhouses would probably be in trouble, let alone make the Flame Dragon Lothar fall into a deep slumber.
Lin Li simply could not imagine how Brahere managed to capture the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. The Immortal King had killed the Dragon of Destruction Azardas with the help of the Stars of Fury and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, but he still ended up severely injured. Although the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera might not be as powerful as the Dragon of Destruction Azardas, the difficulty of capturing and killing it was very different. Besides, Brahere did not have the Stars of Fury and the debris of the stars.
Of course, Lin Li did not tell them about that, because that would only make them feel more desperate. They might not even have the courage to fight to the death.
At this moment, the Humerus Wyrm Legion was getting closer and closer, and the faces of the expedition became increasingly sullen. The Legendary powerhouses of the expedition could completely feel the god-like power of the Humerus Wyrm that was surrounded by the Humerus Wyrm Legion. It was definitely not as simple as an ordinary Sanctuary-level powerhouse. What made them even more shocked was that apart from its massive body, the wyrm leader did not seem to have been transformed into a Humerus Wyrm. Its body was not just a skeleton like the other Humerus Wyrms, but one that was complete and flawless.
Seeing the appearance of the Iceblast Wyrm, the last trace of hope in everyone's hearts instantly vanished. No matter how powerful the Humerus Wyrm was, there would always be some obvious weaknesses. For example, the bones that were not covered by scales and flesh would not have the defensive power of a real wyrm. At the same time, it would not have the bloodline of a real wyrm. In fact, the bones of the Humerus Wyrms that people usually talked about might not even be the skeletons of wyrms. Most of them were likely to be the skeletons of other magical beasts or even humans that had been absorbed by the Dragon Crystal to form the shape of a dragon.
Hence, a Humerus Wyrm of the same level could never be compared to a real wyrm. That was also the reason why the expedition did not immediately think of retreating when they learned from Caleras' diary that there was a Humerus Wyrm Legion in the mausoleum.
However, although they could now see the other Humerus Wyrms through the dense fog of death created by the Humerus Wyrms, they were all just huge white skeletons. However, the most terrifying thing was that the leader of the Humerus Wyrms in the middle of the Humerus Wyrm Legion did not look like a Humerus Wyrm at all, and instead looked like an ancient Iceblast Wyrm.
"It's... It's really an Ancient Colossal Dragon!" Looking at the massive body that was gradually becoming clearer in the thick Death Fog, everyone in the expedition was horrified. How proud were ancient wyrms? How could they really stay in this mausoleum to guard Prince Brahere's mausoleum?
The Iceblast Wyrm that was revealed in the thick Death Fog was about the size of a dozen Humerus Wyrms around it. Its entire body was covered in white scales, each of which was as big as the tower shields used by the Giant Shield Warriors. At a glance, one could tell that the defensive power of those scales was definitely many times stronger than those meticulously built shields.
On the back of the Iceblast Wyrm, unlike the Humerus Wyrm, which only had wing bones, there was a pair of huge grayish-white wings. There were also faint dark-silver patterns flashing on the membrane of the wings that emitted a piercing chill. That was the Bloodline Mageweath that only pure-blooded ancient wyrms could possess. Even a Guru of Inscription could not understand the mystery of it. It was the origin mageweath that represented the origin of the world.
The massive head of the Iceblast Wyrm was also covered in fine scales, and the six sharp horns on its head were divided into two rows. Each horn was like a giant sword that could break the sky, and the two thickest ones at the front were like two mountains. Its crimson eyes were like the blood moons that used to hang in the night sky of Anril, emitting a cold and brutal light. Its huge mouth seemed to be able to swallow the surrounding Humerus Wyrms in one bite.
That was a real ancient wyrm that possessed power that was not inferior to that of the gods. It was a tyrannical creature that once dominated Anril together with the Titans! At the sight of the Frost Wyrm's astounding figure, everyone present couldn't help but feel insignificant. Even though most of them had never seen a real ancient wyrm with their own eyes, based on the legends that had been passed down, there was no doubt about it.
However, no one knew that Lin Li was thousands of times more astonished than the rest. When the Humerus Wyrm Legion appeared, he had already taken out the debris of the stars Holy Light again, but he secretly suppressed the power of Holy Light lest there were any unnecessary changes.
In fact, after Connoris called out Sindera's name, Lin Li still had a trace of fantasy in his heart. He couldn't say that he had much hope, but he more or less had some hope. After all, the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was a powerful existence that was on the same level as the Flame Dragon Lothar. Given the pride of the ancient wyrms, how could they obediently guard Brahere's mausoleum? There might be something to be said.
However, as the Humerus Wyrm Legion and the Iceblast Wyrm approached, Lin Li's heart sank when he sensed the changes in the power of Holy Light. Through the changes in Holy Light, he was horrified to discover that there was an extremely strong death aura on the Iceblast Wyrm that was far stronger than any Undead creature he had ever seen. In fact, even the Ghost that Osric had left in the Sky Castle seemed inferior to it.
What did that mean? Although Lin Li dared not believe it, he had no choice but to believe that the Iceblast Wyrm had probably really become an Undead creature. Apart from being an Undead creature, Lin Li could not think of any other reason to explain the strong death aura on the Iceblast Wyrm.
At this moment, Lin Li could finally see the appearance of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera through the thick fog of death, and the scene that he saw further confirmed the terrifying truth in his heart. On the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body, the scales that all wyrms were proud of had lost their original luster, and were replaced by a lifeless gray color. At the same time, the magical aura that flowed all over its body was no longer pure ice and frost. Instead, it was mixed with a deathly black aura.
Afterwards, Lin Li's gaze shifted to the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's eyes that were like blood moons, and he could clearly see that the gaze in those eyes was extremely different from what he had seen from the Flame Dragon Lothar. As the king of the Flame Dragons, the Flame Dragon Lothar's eyes were filled with arrogance and contempt, as if all life in front of it was insignificant and insignificant. However, there was not a single trace of emotion in the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's eyes at this moment. They were cold and indifferent, and could even be said to be dull and lifeless. It was just like a mindless zombie.
Brahere had not only captured the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, but also used some means to completely transform it into an Undead creature! At the thought of this, Lin Li couldn't help but be shocked by his own conjecture. He had not transformed a Skeletal Warrior, but a real ancient wyrm that was not only second to the powerful Dragon Aspect!
Although Lin Li had been learning and using elemental magic, and could be considered an orthodox mage, he was not completely clueless about Necromagic. Firstly, he had Ujfalusi, a Lich who was good at Necromagic, and secondly, he had a good relationship with the famous Necromancer Senrodes. Hence, he had a deep understanding of Necromagic.
Lin Li was very clear that in theory, Necromagic could indeed transform all life into Undead creatures. However, there was a very important condition, and that was that the Necromancer had to have power that was far beyond that of the creature being transformed. Take Sendros, the most famous Necromancer in Anril, for example. He could easily transform a dead soldier into a Skeletal Warrior. In fact, it would not be a problem for him to do so. However, it would not be easy for him to transform a wyrm into a Humerus Wyrm even though he was at the peak of the Legendary-realm.
Of course, that did not mean that Sendros could not do it. It was just that the transformation of a Humerus Wyrm could not be done by chanting an incantation or waving a magic staff. Special Necromagic rituals were also required. However, even with Sendros's strength, the success rate of the transformation was not 100%, and there was a great possibility of failure. Hence, the amount of time and energy needed to be invested in the process of transformation was absolutely shocking.
And this referred to the so-called wyrms. In fact, the power of their bloodline was much weaker than that of their ancestors. Adult wyrms only had the strength of Legendary-level. In the green dragon cave in the Haiga Mountain Range, the Green Dragon King was already the king of a race when it was only level-24. It was obvious how weak their bloodline had become.
As for the real ancient wyrm, that joke was not funny at all! Lin Li could not imagine what kind of existence in Anril could transform an ancient wyrm into an Undead creature. Besides, it was not an ordinary ancient wyrm, but the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, which was a powerhouse that was at the peak of the ancient wyrms, just like the Flame Dragon Lothar.
At least to Lin Li's knowledge, only mythical figures like the Immortal King or the God of Mages, Geresco, would be able to do it.
However, at the thought of these two mythical figures, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Li's mind. Or … what about the queen who also existed in the myths?
However, the current situation did not allow Lin Li to make further conjectures. The Iceblast Wyrm Sindera that was surrounded by hundreds of Humerus Wyrms was getting closer and closer. At this moment, what he really needed to consider was how to find a chance of survival from such a powerful enemy.
"Master Hoffman, get your people to come closer to us. Also, take these," said Lin Li as he wiped his hand on the Ring of Endless Storm. As Lin Li spoke, he wiped his hand on the Ring of Endless Storm, and 10 Six-pointed Star Arrays appeared in the empty space beside him. Then, 10 brand-new Magical Crystal Cannons appeared in the array.
Compared to the War God's Shadow and the Mimicry Hive, the Magical Crystal Cannons did not have exciting stories, nor did they have changing attack methods. However, as long as they were used in the right place, they would play a role that was not inferior to those magical artifacts. Hence, Lin Li had always stored some Magical Crystal Cannons in his Ring of Endless Storm for emergencies. He didn't take them out during the battle with the Whispering God because the Whispering God had the characteristic of devouring all mana. At this moment, the Humerus Wyrms could not devour the light of the Magical Crystal Cannons.
Although the Magical Crystal Cannons only had a single attack method, which was to compress and condense mana before firing, its power was so powerful that even Legendary powerhouses dared not belittle it. Coupled with the attack speed that was hard to dodge, it should be the most suitable to be used against the Humerus Wyrms at this moment.
With the financial resources of the Glittergold Trade Union, it was not difficult to obtain Magical Crystal Cannons. Anyway, they could buy them from the Dwarf Kingdom with money, unlike those powerful magical artifacts that were hard to come by. However, it was not easy to bring the Magical Crystal Cannons there. Spatial magical artifacts were very rare in the first place, and even if Hoffman and the others had one or two, they would at most have a cubic meter of space. They probably could not even store a Magical Crystal Cannon, and had long been used to store potions and other necessities for exploration. Only Lin Li, whose Ring of Endless Storm had almost infinite space, would be extravagant enough to store the Magical Crystal Cannons.
Upon sight of the 10 brand-new Magical Crystal Cannons, Hoffman's eyes immediately lit up. Although they would not play a big role in the current situation, and it was impossible to destroy the Humerus Wyrms with the Magical Crystal Cannons, it was better than nothing. At least with the support of the 10 Magical Crystal Cannons, the team would be able to last a little longer under the attacks of the Humerus Wyrms.
Time was running out, and Hoffman did not say anything polite. He simply waved his hand, and ordered the team of the Glittergold Trade Union to approach the mages of the Tower of Dusk. At the same time, he also dragged the 10 Magical Crystal Cannons into the team.
As soon as the Magical Crystal Cannons were dragged into the team, the people of the Glittergold Trade Union immediately got ready to fill them with magical crystals. Although they could not bring the Magical Crystal Cannons on an expedition like Lin Li, the Glittergold Trade Union could still afford the magical crystals given their financial resources. However, when they opened the mana source of the Magical Crystal Cannons and were about to put the magical crystals in their hands in, they could not help but be dumbfounded, as if they had forgotten the threat posed by the Humerus Wyrms for a moment.
They could not believe their eyes. The mana source of the Magical Crystal Cannons was actually installed with large Legendary magical crystals. Even with the massive financial resources of the Glittergold Trade Union, they would not be extravagant enough to use Legendary magical crystals as a mana source. However, the 10 Magical Crystal Cannons that the Tower of Dusk had given them 10 Legendary magical crystals!
In Anril, even Legendary magical crystals that had just reached level-20 could be considered priceless treasures that were hard to come by. However, the Tower of Dusk had used them as the mana source of the Magical Crystal Cannons. Not to mention the Archmages of the Glittergold Trade Union, even the two Legendary-mages, Elvan and Thomas, couldn't help but be shocked by the generosity of the Tower of Dusk when they saw the Magical Crystal Cannons.
However, what was really shocking was not that, but the fact that a massive Six-pointed Star Array had already appeared on the other side of the Tower of Dusk's team, occupying almost half of the area of the canyon. As the Six-pointed Star Array reached its peak, a large steel giant slowly rose from the Six-pointed Star Array as if it had emerged from the water.
"Alchemy Colossus!" someone who knew it exclaimed involuntarily.
However, everyone soon knew that it was not as simple as an ordinary Alchemy Colossus. The Steel Colossus that rose from the Six-pointed Star Array was many times larger than the Alchemy Colossuses that people knew of. Besides, the complicated Alchemy Arrays and mageweaths on the colossus were dazzling to the eyes.
That was … the legendary Titan-level Alchemy Colossus! When Joseph saw the full appearance of the Alchemy Colossus, an unbelievable conjecture suddenly flashed through his mind. Now that alchemy had declined, even ordinary Alchemy Colossuses were rather rare. Only the mysterious Kingdom of Alchemy, the Rotterdam, could create them. Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses only existed in myths and legends. It was said that even the Rotterdam did not have the technology to create Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses.
During the battle with the Whispering God in the incubation room, Joseph had once thought that the young President of the Tower of Dusk had used up most of his trump cards. However, it seemed that compared to this Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, the alchemy puppets and Abyssal Demon Gordon were not even considered trump cards. Legend had it that Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses possessed power that was close to the Sanctuary-realm. In fact, ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses might even be at a disadvantage when facing a Titan-level Alchemy Colossus.
Upon seeing the appearance of the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, Joseph did not know how he should feel. On one hand, he naturally hoped that the expedition team would be as strong as possible given the crisis they were facing now. However, on the other hand, he really did not want to see the Tower of Dusk reveal stronger and stronger abilities that even he was a little afraid of.
When the Alchemy Colossus completely emerged from the Six-pointed Star Array, Angelano controlled the alchemy machine that he was sitting on, and dashed to the bottom of the Alchemy Colossus as if he was escaping. In the blink of an eye, he entered the Alchemy Colossus. As the Alchemy Arrays and mageweaths on the Alchemy Colossus' body lit up, Angelano finally found some sense of security with the pillar-like alloy spear in his hand.
Although the appearance of the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus gave them a greater shock, they could no longer be emotional about the situation at this moment. On the Glittergold Trade Union's side, Elvan and Jerany immediately instructed the team to quickly change their formation in order to maximize the effect of the Magical Crystal Cannons. At the same time, Thomas also took out the golden statue of the God of War again, and released the Shadow of the God of War that was more than 10 meters tall.
The teams of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family were also prepared to fight at any time under the command of their respective senior executives. Although they all knew that the enemy was so powerful that they could not contend with it, they also knew that fear and retreat would only push them towards the abyss of death.
All of a sudden, the temperature in the canyon plummeted to the extreme, and a huge ball of white ice flames spurted out from the mouth of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera that was gradually approaching. It smashed towards the expedition team in the canyon like a falling meteor. Wherever the ice flames passed, the space seemed to have been frozen, and the cliffs of the canyon that were swept by the ice flames were instantly plated with a layer of white. Immediately afterwards, they shattered with a bang. Crystalline powder and frozen stones of all sizes fell from the cliffs on both sides of the canyon like an avalanche, causing the entire canyon to seem as if there was a snowstorm in an instant.
The huge ball of white ice flames that caused all of this directly enveloped the entire expedition team. Almost at the same time, the Legendary-mages in the expedition team each raised their staffs high, and cast their strongest defensive magic spells with all their might. Layers of light curtains of different colors stacked on top of each other, shielding their respective teams within the light curtains.
"Boom!"
The layers of light curtains were broken, and the mages whose defenses had been broken did not even dare to wait for the surging mana in their bodies to calm down. They immediately chanted magic spells, and the gemstone at the top of their staffs continuously emitted rays of light, trying their best to make up for the broken defensive light curtains.
It was just a casual dragon breath that the Iceblast Wyrm spat out, but all the Legendary-mages in the expedition team used almost all of their strength to block the deadly ice flames. That situation cast a shadow over everyone's hearts. They couldn't resist it. The ancient wyrm was indeed unbeatable!
However, so what if they couldn't resist it? Were they supposed to give up any resistance and let the other party slaughter them? Facing the powerful Iceblast Wyrm, Lin Li felt a little helpless, but it did not mean that he had lost the courage to fight it. He suddenly raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and yelled at the people around him, "We can't just be passive and get beaten up like this. Those above level-22, follow me to hold back that Iceblast Wyrm. Leave the Humerus Wyrm to the others!" After saying that, he immediately used the Power of Flight to rush towards the Iceblast Wyrm without waiting for their response.
On the Tower of Dusk's side, the Legendary-mage Basel, Connoris, the Lich Ujfalusi, and the Vampire Norfeller all followed Lin Li without hesitation. Seeing this scene, Hoffman, Thomas, and the Sword Sage Jerany did not dare to hesitate at all. They all shot towards the sky like sharp arrows.
Seeing the Legendary powerhouses of the Tower of Dusk and the Glittergold Trade Union charging towards the Iceblast Wyrm, Joseph gripped the King of Flames' Scepter in his hand tightly. After a series of expressions, he finally led Elvis and the patriarchs of the other three families to follow the people of the Tower of Dusk and the Glittergold Trade Union to stop the Iceblast Wyrm.
