As the headquarters of all Guilds of Magic, the Alanna Guild of Magic was able to provide such a batch of resources, but they would definitely be reluctant to give it away, not to mention the Tower of Dusk that had just been established a few years ago.
However, Lin Li brought up this matter with Mason's teacher, President Joey, at this moment. The Alanna Guild of Magic was just outside, and Lin Li had stored enough Magical Crystal Cannons and magical crystals in his Ring of Endless Storm. Hence, Lin Li didn't need to mobilize the resources from the Breezy Plains at all. He could just ask President Joey to transport the resources back this time. That was also the reason why he left with President Joey and the others.
Initially, Mason was still worried about how he should tell his teacher about this matter. After all, because of him, the New Crescent City Guild of Magic might not send any more assistance. However, when Lin Li mentioned this matter again, Mason and Orrin finally understood that he wasn't joking previously.
President Joey and the others knew that the Tower of Dusk had a Tera Mine, which meant that they had almost infinite wealth. However, Lin Li suddenly took out such a batch of resources to help the Chevan City Guild of Magic for free, which shocked them greatly, and the reason was just because he used to be Mason's roommate!
Although President Joey didn't know much about Lin Li, he knew that Lin Li was someone valued by the arbitrator, and definitely wouldn't joke about this matter. Besides, he knew his family's situation, so he didn't decline hypocritically. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and thanked Lin Li profusely.
However, just as Lin Li and the others were talking about this matter and slowly walking towards the Teleportation Portal … All of a sudden, hundreds of translucent objects flew in from the sky at the edge of the Sky Garden like meteors.
Those objects seemed to be balls of pure water. They were transparent, but seemed a little distorted in the refraction of light. Some of them landed on the Teleportation Portal, and the Teleportation Portal flickered with light. Then, there was a loud explosion, and it was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
More transparent objects changed direction before they landed on the ground, and pounced towards the mages who were close to the Teleportation Portal. These transparent objects twisted and changed in the process of flying, and by the time they pounced towards the mages, they had already turned into human-like figures.
"It's a Natural Disaster! Why is it happening now?! "Joey and Hahnar exclaimed in shock as soon as they saw this scene.
After staying in the Sky Garden for a few days, Lin Li had gained a certain understanding of the Supreme Council. The natural disaster that Macklin mentioned was not a natural disaster. The things that suddenly invaded the Sky Garden were actually the souls left behind by the High Elves.
The Sky Garden originally belonged to the High Elves. Although Geresco had led his men to seize the Sky Castle and annihilated the High Elves in the city, they had also left behind many High Elves' souls. The souls of the High Elves had already lost their sense of self, and had forgotten the pride and glory of the High Elves. They were only instinctively hiding in the space around the Sky Garden.
These Souls of the Dead were very different from the Vengeful Spirits. They did not have a strong death aura, and were essentially the product of the combination of the High Elves' unyielding will and bloodline power. The way they accumulated their power was not by devouring soul fire like the Undead creatures. Instead, they were similar to mages, converting the omnipresent magical elements into their own mana.
Every time the Souls of the Dead of the High Elves accumulated a certain amount of power, they would instinctively attack the Sky Garden. For more than 1,300 years, their attacks had never stopped. In the beginning, they had also caused considerable losses to the Supreme Council. Hence, it was called a natural disaster by the mages.
Later on, the Supreme Council gradually figured out the rules, and made sufficient preparations before each attack by the Souls of the Dead. That was how they managed to minimize the losses. They even used the natural disaster as a form of training for the mages of the Supreme Council. That was also the reason why the three arbitrators did not directly attack and completely destroy the Souls of the Dead.
However, the timing of the natural disaster this time was clearly somewhat against the rules that the Supreme Council had grasped. Besides, the scale of the natural disaster was also beyond what was recorded in history. It was almost comparable to the first few natural disasters. Among the Souls of the Dead, there were dozens of Legendary-level Souls, and the other hundreds of Souls of the Dead were also close to the Legendary-level.
The Souls of the Dead below the Legendary-level were actually not that impressive. The reason they were called natural disasters was because of the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead. Due to the fact that the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead had inherited some of the advantages of the High Elves, they were able to use nomological power more freely than when they were alive even though they had lost their bodies.
Although the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead were similar to mages of the same level in terms of power, they could integrate themselves into the World Laws. That was already the ability of the Sanctuary-realm, and the only difference was the strength of their power. Their combat power was not something that mages of the same level could compare to.
If the councilors of the Supreme Council hadn't left and gathered together, they would still have enough ability to deal with the natural disaster of such a scale. However, many councilors had already left one after another, and the remaining councilors had also chosen different Teleportation Portals according to their own needs. Hence, their power seemed to be extremely scattered.
As soon as the Souls of the Dead invaded the Sky Garden, they pounced towards the mages who were closest to the Teleportation Portals like a pack of wolves that had seen their prey. Even the Archmages who were relatively weaker would be swarmed by the Souls of the Dead, not giving their prey any chance to struggle at all.
Walking in front of Lin Li and the others were the councilors from Rosen's faction and their respective students. Although they didn't express their stance directly like Leddings, Canuman, and the others during the meeting, they shouldn't have to worry about Lin Li's revenge. However, Lin Li and the others were not far behind them, which made them feel a little nervous, and they couldn't wait to leave immediately.
However, the councilors did not expect the terrifying natural disaster to descend so suddenly just as they were about to step into the Teleportation Portal. The councilors were all Legendary-mages, and they reacted in time, and immediately used defensive magic to protect themselves. However, their disciples did not react as quickly.
Of course, regardless of whether an Archmage was prepared or not, the outcome of facing a few Legendary-level Souls of the Dead at the same time, as well as more level-18 and level-19 Souls of the Dead would be obvious. The few Archmages who had come to learn from their teachers did not have the slightest ability to resist. In fact, they didn't even have the time to scream before they were engulfed by the Souls of the Dead in an instant.
The teachers of the Archmages could only watch as their proud disciples were engulfed by the Souls of the Dead. They couldn't save them at all, because they couldn't even protect themselves at this time. In fact, they did not manage to hold on for long. Perhaps in less than a second, the Elemental Shields of the few level-20 and level-21 Legendary-mages were broken by the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead.
In the eyes of Lin Li, Joey, and the others, the High Elves' Souls of the Dead had invaded the Sky Garden and destroyed the Teleportation Portal, engulfed the few Legendary-mages and their students, and then pounced on them without stopping for even a moment.
This time, Joey and the others were terrified, especially when they saw the group of people in front being killed by the Souls of the Dead in an instant. Their faces turned pale with fright.
Joey was only a level-19 Archmage, and Hahnar had just stepped into the Legendary-realm not long ago. As far as they knew, Lin Li had only stepped into the Legendary-realm for two to three years. In the opinion of Joey and the others, they were much weaker than the group of people in front of them. Even if they had a chance to react, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on for even a moment.
At this moment, the alarm in the Sky Garden had already sounded, and the mages in various places had also gathered together and rushed over to provide support. However, the Sky Garden was extremely vast, and it used to be the Sky Castle of the High Elves. It would take the mages at least a few minutes to rush over at their fastest speed.
At the Eternal Tower, Chairman Andoine and Deputy Chairman Rosen also received the news of the arrival of the Natural Disaster. In particular, Andoine did not dare to delay at all, especially when he knew that the place the Souls of the Dead had invaded was the Teleportation Portal that led to the Alanna Guild of Magic.
When Lin Li came to bid farewell just now, Andoine heard Lin Li say that he would go to the Alanna Guild of Magic first. Not much time had passed, and Andoine was almost certain that Lin Li was among those who had encountered the Souls of the Dead.
Rosen had the same guess as Andoine, and he was even secretly delighted. He couldn't wait for Lin Li to be killed by the Souls of the Dead. However, he still had to put on an act. He didn't want the arbitrator to blame Lin Li's death on him for failing to rescue him.
Andoine and Rosen flew out of the Eternal Tower with their staffs in their hands, and rushed towards Lin Li and the others. When they saw the figures of Lin Li and the others, the Souls of the Dead of the High Elves happened to have engulfed the councilors, and were pouncing towards Lin Li and the others.
Seeing the strength of those Souls of the Dead, Andoine became even more anxious. Although he knew that Lin Li was stronger than him, there were dozens of Legendary-level Souls of the Dead in the Army of the Dead. The Souls of the Dead were good at besieging, and under the siege of dozens of Legendary powerhouses, even those who were at the peak of the Legendary-level might not be able to withstand it.
Rosen was more or less disappointed that Lin Li had not been killed yet, but he suppressed his disappointment and pretended to be extremely anxious. However, when he saw the army of Souls of the Dead that was pouncing towards Lin Li and the others, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
In the previous Heavenly Disasters, there would not be more than 10 Legendary-level Souls of the Dead, and there were basically 100 to 200 Souls of the Dead that were close to the Legendary-level. This time, the number of Legendary-level Souls of the Dead actually exceeded several times that of the previous Heavenly Disasters.
Even Rosen was extremely shocked by the scale of the Heavenly Disaster. In his memory, there had never been a disaster that could be compared to this one. In particular, the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead could be said to be the embodiment of the Laws with their high degree of fusion with the nomological power. Their strength was far beyond that of Legendary-mages of the same level.
With the dozens of Legendary-level Souls of the Dead, Rosen estimated that it would be difficult for him and Andoine to deal with them even if they rushed over. At this moment, the Souls of the Dead were pouncing towards Lin Li and the others like a surging tide. They would engulf all of them in an instant. No one could save them, no one!
Although Joey, Hahnar, and the others had already cast their strongest defensive magic spells, everyone could clearly feel how fragile their defense was in front of the Souls of the Dead. It was like a bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.
Joey and Hahnar would not be able to deal with any of the Legendary-level Souls of the Dead, let alone when they swarmed them all at once. Everyone's faces were drained of blood because they knew that this time, it was really impossible for them to escape from this calamity.
However, at this moment, Lin Li did not cast any defensive magic spells. Instead, he raised one of his hands gently and stretched out a finger to point at the void in front of him. All of a sudden, the menacing Souls of the Dead and the magic spells that the mages were casting all came to a standstill. It was as if the entire space had been frozen.
Perhaps it was only a second, or perhaps not even a second, but Joey, Hahnar, and the others felt as if their hearts had stopped beating for a long time. They could clearly see the distorted and hideous faces of the Souls of the Dead outside the magic shield. They could also see the marks left by the claws of the Souls of the Dead when they scratched the magic shield.
Immediately afterwards, the calm and inconspicuous mana wave on Lin Li's body suddenly erupted like a volcano. The massive mana wave rushed out in all directions, and even the space began to distort. No one could describe how massive it was, because it had already exceeded the limits of their imagination. It was like standing at the foot of a mountain and looking up at the peak, only to see the thick clouds that filled the mountainside.
With the massive mana wave, an incomparably glorious and sacred pressure that was like the will of heaven and earth descended on this space. At this moment, Joey and the others, who were almost face to face with the Souls of the Dead, even saw fear in the distorted faces of the Souls of the Dead.
Next, the Souls of the Dead that had just engulfed the few Legendary-mages and Archmages of the Dead suddenly seemed to be torn apart by the massive force that was everywhere around them. They couldn't scream, but every one of them could feel the incomparable pain and anguish in their souls.
