Although Connoris and Lin Li had signed a master-servant contract, the binding force of the contract was not great, and it was somewhat similar to an employer-employee relationship. Connoris was a servant, but he was not a slave who could be killed by his master. He could completely refuse some orders that were against his will.
However, even an ancient demon deity like Connoris could not help but be tempted by the mausoleum of a High Elven nobleman. At that time, who would have thought that they would encounter the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, an ancient wyrm that only existed in myths, in the mausoleum?
"If you have time to complain, why don't you think of a way to get rid of it!?" Lin Li said coldly while waving the Helios' Scepter to deal with the Iceblast Wyrm's attacks.
"Get rid of it? Are you kidding me? Even I back then … If I had known that I would encounter it here, I would have let it perish together with that lunatic Salor! " Even when Connoris was an ancient demon deity, he was not known for his combat power. Even if he encountered ancient wyrms of the same level as Sindera and Salor, he could only hide as far away as he could. As an ancient demon deity who mastered conspiracy and deception, it was not impossible for him to incite an internal strife between the two. However, there was no point in saying that now.
As soon as the two of them spoke, there was a sudden change on the battlefield again. Countless complex and mysterious magical symbols flickered on the fleshy wings of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. They were the most ancient and mysterious magical symbols that came from the bloodline of the ancient wyrms, and represented the purest Origin Laws at the beginning of the world's formation. It was said to be the language used by the gods, and even Sanctuary powerhouses could not read it.
At this moment, even the most ignorant person knew that the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was going to be ruthless.
Indeed, immediately afterwards, a massive mana wave that changed the color of heaven and earth suddenly erupted from the body of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. It was as if the will of heaven and earth had to submit to that power, and the entire space seemed to be unable to withstand it as it trembled as if it was about to collapse.
Next, white ice flames ignited in the sky, and the blazing ice flames seemed to have covered the entire sky. There was also a boundless ocean of ice flames beneath everyone's feet, and it completely blocked everyone's line of sight, making it impossible for them to see the situation of the expedition team below. Balls of ice flames in the sky were like falling meteors, constantly falling towards the crowd. The sea of ice flames below also churned continuously, forming huge waves of ice flames that swept towards the crowd.
The Legendary powerhouses were now facing such a situation. What did it mean to have no way out to heaven and no way out to hell? Everyone seemed to be trapped in a prison, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. They could only constantly squeeze out their strength to resist the attacks from above and below them.
A huge wave of ice flames came crashing down, instantly breaking more than a dozen layers of defense. The sound of the magic defense breaking was like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, one after another. The Legendary powerhouses who were trapped in it kept casting defensive magic spells with pale faces and eyes filled with despair. They only wished that they had more mouths. At this moment, no one dared to hold anything back. Even if they had a paper shield in their hands, they would raise it without hesitation.
"Bang!" A crisp explosion sounded, and the staff in the hands of a Legendary-mage from the Caesar Family exploded because it could not withstand the rapid spellcasting. In fact, he was not the only one. Cracks had already appeared on the staffs of many others during the spellcasting, and it was only a matter of time before they exploded.
In the face of such a terrifying magical attack, even top Legendary powerhouses like Lin Li and Connoris were suppressed to the point that they could no longer fight back. They were unable to turn the situation around. Lin Li increased his spellcasting speed to the extreme, and the gemstone at the top of the Helios' Scepter emitted a dazzling ray of light that did not weaken at all. It continuously filled up the layers of magical shields around him. Connoris did not have the time to curse at all. Even though he had a powerful and perfect body, he dared not let the ice flames get close to him.
However, would the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera allow those insignificant beings to continue struggling like that? If it still had its own consciousness, it might toy with those insignificant beings after thousands of years of boredom. However, it was now a soulless undead creature that had lost its self-awareness. It was its nature to kill all life.
The Iceblast Wyrm Sindera flapped its wings on the spot, and the endless ice flames that filled the entire space immediately surged several times again. The attacks became more concentrated, and the power became even more terrifying. Balls of icy flame meteors and waves of icy flame drowned everyone in an instant. Everyone did not hesitate to overdraft their mana and mental strength to cast the layers of magical shields, but they were as fragile as glass in the face of the endless attacks.
The continuous spellcasting and the massive overdraft of mana and mental strength made Hoffman's face turn pale. Faced with the desperate situation at this moment, he was already filled with regret. If he had known that there was such a terrifying existence in the mausoleum, he would not have thought of attacking the mausoleum no matter what. Even if there was wealth that could buy the entire continent buried in the mausoleum, he would have to be alive to get it. After the battle with the monster known as the Whispering God, he should have realized that the mausoleum was far more powerful than he had imagined. Why did he choose to continue!?
At this moment, Hoffman was definitely not the only one who regretted his decision. However, it was too late for regrets now. The ancient Iceblast Wyrm of the Sanctuary-realm was no longer something that mortals could contend with. It was impossible to escape from its hands.
Joseph originally wanted to use the wealth in the mausoleum to turn the tables on the Tower of Dusk and completely suppress them. After learning that the Tower of Dusk had also come to explore the mausoleum, he did not give up on how to make the people of the Tower of Dusk stay here forever. Had his wish been fulfilled now? However, he and the team of the Mithril Alliance would have to die with them.
Now that Joseph thought about it, he realized that he had actually been given the option to retreat during the exploration more than once. The existence of the Whispering God was already an indication of how powerful the mausoleum was. Later on, he discovered Caleras's diary, which clearly mentioned the existence of the Humerus Wyrm Legion. When he entered this level and faced the canyon full of Behemoth Beasts' skeletons, the thought of retreating had gained the upper hand. However, he still chose to continue every time. Even when the team's strength was greatly reduced, he did not make up his mind to retreat.
If he had chosen to retreat at that time, the other three forces would be the only ones facing the Iceblast Wyrm now. If the elites of the three forces were killed, the Breezy Plains would enter an era where the Mithril Alliance dominated. What a great opportunity it was! At the thought of that, Joseph could not help but feel like committing suicide.
"Connoris, have you realized that something is wrong with the situation!?"
Unlike those people, Lin Li did not have the time to waste on meaningless regrets. Although Lin Li was having a hard time under the strong suppression of the Iceblast Wyrm, he did not stop thinking about how to turn the tables.
"Wrong? What's wrong? I can't hold on anymore! " Connoris' tone was filled with infinite resentment towards the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, and of course, towards Lin Li and himself.
However, Lin Li did not care about Connoris' tone, nor did he have the time to do so. Instead, while supporting the magic shield, he said, "If the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera is really an existence of the same level as the Flame Dragon Lothar, don't you think that its performance now seems a little unworthy?"
Lin Li had seen how ferocious the Flame Dragon Lothar was. At that time, the two Sanctuary powerhouses, Nefa and Rogge, were not inferior to the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council. However, they were suppressed by the Flame Dragon Lothar to the point that they could not retaliate. In fact, they almost died in that battle. That was the true strength that a demigod should have. However, the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera actually managed to hold on for such a long time just by dealing with some Legendary powerhouses. If it had been the Flame Dragon Lothar, it would have burned them to ashes instantly.
Actually, that feeling was not new. In the previous battle, Lin Li had vaguely felt that there seemed to be some difference in strength between the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera and the Flame Dragon Lothar. Now, the Flame Dragon Lothar had even exerted its strongest origin power, but it did not destroy everyone instantly. That would definitely be impossible if it had been the Flame Dragon Lothar.
"What? Do you think that's not enough!? Wait … I almost forgot, you've seen the Flame Dragon Lothar before. However, what do you mean by saying this now? Even if Sindera's strength is inferior to that of Lothar, and even if that Iceblast Wyrm is not Sindera, do you have a way to get rid of it? " Connoris could not understand what Lin Li meant all of a sudden. They were the ones who were in a desperate situation now, not the Iceblast Wyrm. Even if its strength was inferior to the Flame Dragon Lothar, wouldn't it be the same if it could get rid of them?
"Someone has to think about whether there's a way or not. Are you willing to die here!?" Before Connoris could respond, Lin Li suddenly activated the power of the Space Robe, and his body disappeared from the spot. He then appeared on the other side not far away.
"Do you have a death wish!?" Connoris exclaimed in shock when he saw that Lin Li still dared to use the Space Robe's Space Teleportation in such a situation. More importantly, once Lin Li ran away, he would have to rely on himself to defend the place. Without Lin Li's instantaneous casting speed, he did not have the confidence to last long under such attacks.
Fortunately, Lin Li's choice of location and timing was very ingenious, and he managed to avoid the Iceblast Wyrm's attack. He also took advantage of the interval to cover himself with layers of Elemental Shields. However, with Lin Li's casting speed, he only had time to cast five layers of magical defense for himself. The massive wave formed by the ice flames and the ice flame meteors that fell from above had already attacked him together.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Li's figure had been completely engulfed by the ice flames. However, he did not have a single trace of fear on his face. Feeling the layers of Elemental Shields shattering, he gradually relaxed his frown. After comparing the intensity of the attacks that they had endured, Lin Li realized that they were much weaker than before. Hence, he speculated that the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera did not crush them in all directions, and instead concentrated its power on them during the Domain-level magical attack.
If it were the Flame Dragon Lothar, it would not have done so. It would have simply unleashed its power to crush them. Regardless of whether they were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, they would still turn into ashes in an instant. In the first place, it could have trampled a group of ants to death with a single stomp, yet it chose to do so one by one. Even if it had become an Undead creature that had lost its self-awareness, it wouldn't have made things difficult for itself.
After a wave of attacks, another wave of attacks came, and Lin Li could clearly feel that the intensity of the attacks had increased significantly. Clearly, the other party had adjusted its power, which made him even more certain of his conjecture.
After such a small test, Lin Li did not continue to stay in place, and instead activated the Space Robe again. His body flashed, and he returned to Connoris' side.
"What the hell are you doing? Have you really found a way!?" Although Lin Li had only left for a moment, Connoris still felt the difficulty of supporting the defense alone. However, at the same time, he acutely sensed that the intensity of the attacks that he was withstanding was much weaker than when Lin Li was around. That discovery was the very reason that he couldn't help but have some thoughts about what Lin Li had just said.
While quickly setting up layers of magical shields, Lin Li said to Connoris, "You should have felt the change in the intensity of the attacks outside when I left just now. If it really had the same strength as the Flame Dragon Lothar, do you think it would still do such a thing? "
"However, our attacks on it just now had no effect at all. Even if it's not as strong as the Flame Dragon Lothar, it's obviously not something that we can contend with now. What's the point of proving this?" Connoris was a little confused. It wasn't that they hadn't attacked Sindera just now, but the truth was that no matter what kind of attack they launched, they couldn't cause any damage to Sindera at all. What's the point of saying that Sindera was inferior to the Flame Dragon Lothar now? They couldn't possibly ask the Flame Dragon Lothar for help, right?
"The strength of the Flame Dragon Lothar is already at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, which is equivalent to the realm of half-step gods. It can be said that it has already surpassed the Laws of this world to a large extent. Sindera, at least the current Iceblast Wyrm, is still far from that realm. You should know what that means. " Lin Li's tone was getting calmer and calmer, even though the current situation still didn't seem optimistic.
"You mean that its strength hasn't surpassed the Laws of this world, so it's still restricted by the Laws of this world!?" After all, Connoris used to be an ancient deity who mastered conspiracy and deception. He glanced at the Holy Light in Lin Li's hand from the corner of his eye, and suddenly seemed to understand something. However, he then said with some disappointment, "You've already cast the Judgment of Light just now, and it's proven that the other party is not affected by the Divine Power at all. Have you forgotten?"
"Since it's still under the restrictions of the World Laws, it can only rely on some means to avoid being purified by the Divine Power. I'm going to give it a try. If the first time doesn't work, I'll do it twice. If the second time doesn't work, I'll do it 10 times. However, I still need your cover. " After saying that, Lin Li stopped casting defensive magic spells without waiting for Connoris to agree at all. He put away the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and replaced it with the debris of the stars, Holy Light.
"Hey, I haven't agreed yet! Damn it … "Lin Li suddenly stopped, and the pressure that Connoris was under doubled. The Soul Trader didn't even have the chance to curse.
On Lin Li's side, the Brilliance Array that surrounded Holy Light had already been formed in an instant. As the rays of light converged, a pillar of light that was even more powerful than before suddenly erupted. The pillar of light penetrated the layers of ice flames, and with a series of spatial ripples, it blasted the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body at lightning speed.
After a loud bang, the thick fog of death that surrounded the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was immediately melted by the Divine Power. However, this time, the Judgment of Light still did not cause any substantial damage to Sindera's body. Lin Li was disappointed, but he wasn't surprised. He didn't slack off at all because of this result. He reached out and grabbed Connoris, who was next to him, and immediately activated the power of the Space Robe.
At the instant that the two figures disappeared, the magic shield that Connoris was supporting with all his might but was still getting thinner and thinner was also shattered under the impact of the surging ice flames.
Lin Li flashed to another position with Connoris, and before Connoris could say anything, he said, "Continue!" At the same time, he raised the Holy Light in his hand, and a Brilliance Array that emitted a Divine aura once again condensed quickly around the Holy Light.
After being moved to another position and losing the original magic shield, Connoris almost thought that he was doomed. Based on his previous experience, a layer of magic shield would not be able to stop the Iceblast Wyrm's magic attack at all. However, after he cast the first layer of the magical shield and welcomed the impact of the wave of ice flames, he immediately understood what Lin Li said.
Indeed, an attack of this level would probably be inferior to a level-26 or level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse, let alone the Flame Dragon Lothar. That was the origin power of an ancient wyrm, and it could best reflect the strength of an ancient wyrm. As an ancient demon deity, Connoris had a very clear understanding of the ancient wyrms that had once lived in the same era. He immediately had a general understanding of the strength of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera at this time.
"How is it? What do you think?" After blasting the Judgment of Holy Light at the Iceblast Wyrm again, Lin Li did not immediately teleport with Connoris. Instead, he cast a defensive magic spell while asking Connoris how he felt.
"Level-26, not higher than level-27. That should be a very common level among the ancient Iceblast Wyrms. Sindera, could that guy not be Sindera? Or did its strength decline after becoming an Undead creature? " Connoris even suspected if he had mistaken it. After all, Prince Brahere's diary only mentioned that he had captured an Iceblast Wyrm, and did not say that it was the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.
However, Connoris had come from that era, and had really seen the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera with his own eyes. Even though he had not come into contact with it, he would definitely not mistake the king of the Iceblast Wyrms.
"Level-26 or 27 is much weaker than the Flame Dragon Lothar. It's not like we don't have a chance." Hearing that Connoris' judgment was similar to his, Lin Li felt a little more confident.
The Sanctuary-realm was a process of evolution from a mortal to a god. It seemed to be just a difference of two levels, but it was reflected in the realm and represented a huge gap. Although the powerful strength from level-25 to level-27 was often compared to the gods, it could still be said to belong to the category of mortals. At level-28 or even level-29, one would already have the power to break free from the restraints of the World Laws, and truly begin to step into the realm of the gods. They were only half a step away from becoming a real god.
However, it was definitely not an easy thing to really take that step, because it meant that they would have to contend with the World Laws. The winner would break free and become a real god, while the loser could only be ruthlessly crushed into powder under the nomological power of the entire world.
Back then, Nefa, the descendant of the Dragon of Destruction, and Rogge, the first high priest of the Darkness High Priest, could both be considered peerless powerhouses. However, they were suppressed by the Flame Dragon Lothar precisely because they had never crossed the chasm. Besides, even if all the Sanctuary powerhouses of Anril gathered together, they would still be crushed by the Flame Dragon Lothar as long as no one crossed the chasm, let alone the two of them.
If the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was really an existence at the level of the Flame Dragon Lothar, there would really be no need for the battle to continue. They could just end it quickly. The realm that was half a step away from becoming a god had almost trampled on the World Laws. How could mortals contend with it?
However, if it wasn't, then be it ancient wyrms or ancient demons, they would definitely be restricted by the World Laws as long as they were in this world. No matter how powerful the other party was, as long as they were still restricted by the World Laws, they would not be completely invincible.
With that understanding, Lin Li was even more certain of his next plan. As long as the other party did not break free from the shackles of the World Laws, the debris of the stars Holy Light that had a great restraining effect on Undead creatures would undoubtedly be his main offensive weapon in the next battle.
At the thought of this, Lin Li suddenly stopped casting the defensive magic, and reached out to grab Connoris' arm before activating the teleportation ability of the Space Robe again.
"Again!?"
When Connoris complained, the two of them had already arrived at a new position again, and the monstrous wave of ice flames was crashing towards them. Under such circumstances, Connoris had no choice but to resign himself to fate. He chanted a string of demonic runes in a fit of pique, and an extremely solid light curtain shrouded the two of them.
"BOOM!" The wave of ice flames smashed hard on the defensive light curtain, and countless ice flame meteors fell from the sky, causing the light curtain to shake continuously. In the blink of an eye, it was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
However, Lin Li turned a blind eye to all of this, and he still resolutely raised the debris of the stars Holy Light in his hand, stimulating the Divine Power contained in it to the maximum.
"Sword of Judgment!"
A Sword of Holy Light that was several times larger than the Light and Darkness Sword instantly condensed in the sky above Lin Li, and even the clouds of ice flames that blocked the sky were forced to disperse to the sides by the light of the Sword of Holy Light. The incomparably majestic Divine Aura that was emitted from the Sword of Holy Light made everyone who sensed it want to worship it in an instant.
At this moment, as Lin Li's arm fell, the Sword of Holy Light also slashed towards the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera at lightning speed.
Before the sword even landed on the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body, the dense fog of death that surrounded Sindera had already melted away like snow under the sun, revealing the full appearance of the ancient Iceblast Wyrm. When the sword landed on Sindera's body, it was accompanied by a loud roar that caused ice shards to splatter in all directions. It was as if the sword had really slashed the Iceblast Wyrm in half.
However, could this sword really succeed? Seeing that the Sword of Holy Light had broken through the layers of obstacles and slashed into the incomparably sturdy ice armor, even Lin Li couldn't help but feel nervous. In the past few times, Lin Li had cast the Judgment of Light, and it had also penetrated the ice armor. However, it would always inexplicably lose its effect at the last moment. This time, the Sword of Holy Light was even more powerful, and he wondered if it would fail again.
At this moment, just as the Sword of Holy Light had already slashed into the ice armor, and was about to hit the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body, a black substance that was unknown whether it was gas or liquid suddenly appeared under the ice armor, immediately sealing the hole in the ice armor.
Due to the fact that the dense fog of death that surrounded the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera had been cleansed by the power emitted by the Sword of Holy Light, Lin Li could see it extremely clearly this time. It was the black substance that looked like smoke and mist, yet also like flowing black water. It actually completely separated the Divine Power of the Sword of Holy Light from the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's body.
Clearly, the Judgment of Light that he had cast several times previously must have been blocked by this black substance! Lin Li had to admit that he was indeed very disappointed at this moment, but his eyes soon lit up again. At the very least, it meant that his and Connoris' guess was right. At this moment, the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera was not immune to Divine Power. It was just that the black mass was blocking it for it.
