"Boom!" A beam of light landed on the High Elven Lich's body.
However, the High Elven Lich's body flashed with black fog, and it instantly devoured the beam of light that had great purification power, leaving nothing behind.
After the High Elven Lich that was at the peak of the Legendary-realm joined the battle, the situation of the expedition became even more difficult. Although he was also at the peak of the Legendary-realm, the High Elven Lich had become an invincible existence. Even the purification power of light magic couldn't hurt him in the slightest. All kinds of magic spells and aura slashes bombarded his body, but even if they caused some damage, they would recover in the blink of an eye as good as new.
The combined power of the three teams and the many Legendary powerhouses actually fell into a stalemate when dealing with the Double-Realm Psychic Tower. That was rather ironic. It was not that these people were not strong enough, but rather that the Double-Realm Psychic Tower was too magical. If they did not have the right way to kill a peak Legendary-realm Lich, it would be useless no matter how many peak Legendary-realm powerhouses there were.
Time passed, and the power of the expedition was weakening. They were getting more and more anxious. They did not know how long Lin Li could resist the Undead Army at the back of the team. Once something happened to Lin Li, they would immediately be doomed, and there would be no chance for them to turn the tables.
However, the High Elven Lich in front of them made them feel so depressed that they were about to vomit blood. The problem was not that they could not defeat him, but that they could not kill him. Anyone who encountered such a shameless opponent would probably go crazy. The purification of the Holy Light did not work, the burning of the flames did not have any effect, and the extreme cold could not freeze him either. The thunder and lightning seemed to only have sound and light effects.
Connoris landed on a Humerus Wyrm's head, and pierced his sword into the Humerus Wyrm's eye socket to pick out a Legendary Dragon Crystal. He then kicked the dead Humerus Wyrm to the ground. In just a short while, he had already killed more than 10 Humerus Wyrms in order to create an undisturbed environment for the people who were besieging the High Elven Lich.
However, Connoris was now extremely displeased. A few powerhouses at the peak of the Legendary-realm were besieging a High Elven Lich, yet there was no progress at all. If this went on, he would have no choice but to flee. Connoris was currently using Highlord Osric's perfect body. Naturally, he did not want Osric to come knocking on his door one day and snatch the body that he had obtained with great difficulty.
"Don't get entangled with those undead creatures. Attack the tower with all your might!" He swung the Eternal Frost Blade hundreds of times at the High Elven Lich in the distance. All of a sudden, the High Elven Lich, who was besieged by several peak Legendary powerhouses, was surrounded by dense sword-light that instantly sliced it into pieces.
After receiving Connoris's reminder, the crowd immediately cast their strongest attack in addition to resisting the attacks of the Undead creatures. They blasted the Double-Realm Psychic Tower that had lost control of the Lich.
The radiance of all kinds of magic and battle energy immediately enveloped the Double-Realm Psychic Tower, and the roar was deafening. However, the Lich that had been sliced into pieces soon came back to life in perfect condition. In fact, it did not even seem to be weak at all. With the Lich's control, the power of the Double-Realm Psychic Tower erupted again, and blocked all the attacks that followed easily.
Upon sight of this scene, everyone felt a sense of despair. In order to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Tower, they had to kill the High Elven Lich. However, in order to kill the High Elven Lich, they had to first destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Tower. That was a damn unsolvable problem!
However, Connoris acutely discovered that although the Double-Realm Psychic Tower quickly blocked the attacks from the back, the attacks from the front had indeed caused a certain amount of damage to the tower. However, with the resurrection of the High Elven Lich, the Double-Realm Psychic Tower was also rapidly recovering from its previous damage.
"Continue, don't stop!" Connoris hollered again, and at the same time, he dashed towards the High Elven Lich. He waved the Eternal Frost Blade in his hand continuously, and rays of sword light pierced through the space and the Lich's defensive magic before slicing it into pieces again.
Just like that, the members of the expedition attacked the Double-Realm Psychic Tower with all their might while the Lich was resurrected. After about a dozen rounds, the body of the Double-Realm Psychic Tower gradually began to crack like a spider's web. Finally, after another attack, there was a loud bang, and countless fragments shot out in all directions, revealing a different appearance.
As the shell of the Double-Realm Psychic Tower collapsed, the Lich that Connoris had continuously sliced into pieces finally stopped resurrecting, and was completely purified into nothingness by Archbishop Martin's subsequent Holy Light.
Upon sight of this scene, the members of the expedition almost cheered. The destruction of a Double-Realm Psychic Tower was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that they knew what was the right thing to do. After all, the Lich's immortal body was not immune to all attacks. However, its soul fire would not be extinguished, so its body could recover no matter how damaged it was. However, recovery would take time. Even if it was only for a moment, the full power of the expedition would be able to cause damage to the Double-Realm Psychic Tower.
After annihilating the remaining Undead creatures, the expedition did not delay any longer, and immediately rushed towards the nearest Double-Realm Psychic Tower according to the map of the Sky Castle. Of course, Archbishop Martin also sent a signal into the sky to inform Lin Li, who was in the distance, of the team's next target. Otherwise, without Lin Li's protection, the expedition would soon be overwhelmed by the Undead creatures.
The strength of the expedition was not weak, and there were nearly 10 Legendary powerhouses. After mastering the method to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Tower, the following actions could be considered a walk in the park. Besides, as the Double-Realm Psychic Towers were destroyed, the strength of the Undead creatures also decreased significantly, and they were becoming less and less able to obstruct the expedition's actions.
Finally, in a day's time, the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers were destroyed by the expedition one by one. The ink-like black clouds in the sky gradually became thinner, and finally revealed the defensive light curtain of the Sky Castle. The thick death aura also disappeared without a trace.
"Felic, you've worked hard." Seeing Lin Li flying back from afar, Archbishop Martin immediately went forward to greet him. He knew that without Lin Li resisting the Undead creatures at the back, it would have been impossible for them to get through today's ordeal.
At this moment, Lin Li looked no different from before, and he did not seem to have experienced a difficult battle at all. In contrast, the members of the expedition seemed to be in a somewhat pathetic state. Besides, the continuous attacks had also caused many of them to be injured.
Faced with Archbishop Martin's greeting, Lin Li smiled and greeted him politely. He then went to the Tower of Dusk's team. There were also some injured people on the Tower of Dusk's side, but the number was much less than that of the other two forces.
Although the three teams had worked together to destroy the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers, the process was rather difficult and thrilling. After all, in the Double-Realm Psychic Towers, there were also a large number of high-level Undead creatures guarding them. Those high-level Undead creatures were all around level-20, and had the domain of the Double-Realm Psychic Towers. At the same time, they were not afraid of death, and thus caused great trouble for the expedition.
On the side of the Rotterdam Kingdom, apart from the Alchemy Colossuses that had been completely destroyed, almost every remaining Alchemy Colossus had to be repaired. Otherwise, they might be destroyed at any time. Apart from the Alchemy Colossuses, there were also more than 10 mages and knights who had died in battle, and more than half of the team was injured.
The situation of the Brilliance Shrine was slightly better. Although the power of Holy Light was greatly suppressed there, the restraint on the Undead creatures was not completely wiped out. However, due to the fact that they had been in the domain of the projection of the world of Undead, it was extremely difficult for them to obtain the power of Holy Light. Therefore, in the Light Palace's team, there were fewer casualties, but there were more injured.
No matter what, anyone could tell that it would be no different from courting death if they wanted to continue exploring the central area of the Sky Castle immediately. The combat power of the three teams was probably less than half of what it had been at its peak. Hence, they urgently needed to stop and recuperate.
However, after the team began to rest and recuperate, Archbishop Martin of the Brilliance Shrine and Donald of the Rotterdam Kingdom came to the Tower of Dusk's team again to talk to Lin Li about the next step of the expedition.
Of course, the so-called next step of the plan was not about the team entering the central area of the Sky Castle after resting and recuperating. The main intention of Archbishop Martin and Donald was to take the opportunity of the team resting and recuperating to search the other areas of the Sky Castle, especially the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers that had been destroyed.
The initial exploration plan was to enter the central area of the Sky Castle as soon as possible, and first get rid of Osric, who was the most worrying, before exploring the so-called treasures of the Immortal King. Hence, the route that they chose was almost to advance directly towards the central area of the Sky Castle, and temporarily ignore the other areas.
However, during the battle just now, the expedition had almost run through all the areas of the Sky Castle in order to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Towers that were distributed everywhere in the Sky Castle. At that time, time was tight, and they did not have the time to consider other issues. Now that the crisis had been resolved, they might as well take the time to explore the towers instead of doing nothing during the rest period.
However, although the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers had been destroyed, and the enemies in those areas had basically been eliminated, no one could guarantee that there would be no more danger. The teams of the two forces were severely damaged, and basically most of them had to stay behind to rest and recuperate. They also had to leave some people behind to guard the area. Hence, the power that they could bring out was a little insufficient.
Hence, Archbishop Martin and Donald went to look for Lin Li in a bid to get the Tower of Dusk to join in. After all, the three forces were cooperating now.
Although Lin Li's main goal was the Sky Castle, and he did not care much about the other so-called treasures, he did not reject Archbishop Martin and Donald's proposal. However, he did not reject Archbishop Martin's and Donald's suggestion. Since he still needed them to deal with Osric together, it was only right for him to let them reap some benefits in advance.
However, Lin Li did not participate in the exploration himself, and instead let Master Basel and Alan take part in the operation with some mages. As for what they should get, Lin Li did not specifically instruct them, and simply left them to do as they saw fit.
Seeing that Lin Li only sent his subordinates to participate in the exploration, but did not seem to be interested himself, Archbishop Martin and Donald did not say much. In particular, Donald secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether Lin Li was pretending to be generous or not, he could tell from his attitude that he wouldn't be too calculative about the distribution of the loot.
After the series of battles, Donald had already developed considerable fear towards Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li had killed the Elemental Dragon and the Ghost Mage, and blocked the army of Undead creatures all by himself. Regardless of what methods or secret magical equipment he used, no one could deny that it was a manifestation of strength.
With the strength of the Rotterdam Kingdom, they naturally did not need to take the Tower of Dusk seriously. However, the problem now was that they were in the Sky Castle, and no matter how powerful the Rotterdam Kingdom was, it would be impossible for them to provide any help to the expedition at this time. Hence, in terms of the strength of the expedition, Donald had no choice but to be wary of the Tower of Dusk.
Soon, the temporary treasure-hunting team formed by the three forces left the resting place under the lead of Archbishop Martin and the others.
Actually, even if Archbishop Martin and the others took all the treasures in the 36 towers, they might not be able to compare to Lin Li's gains so far. Although Lin Li did not take any treasures, the real purpose of the treasures and precious magical equipment was to increase the strength of his forces.
To others, this battle might be a loss-making business, but it was different for Lin Li.
The mages of the Tower of Dusk got to train, which was considered a rather ethereal thing. There was no need to talk about gains. The ones who really gained the most were Lin Li's Undead servants and the Holy Death Knights.
The Holy Death Knights that Lin Li had brought to explore the Sky Castle this time were basically level-19, and had even reached the critical point of advancing to Retribution Knights. If an ordinary Death Knight were to advance to a Retribution Knight, the level of the other Death Knights would forever remain at the same level. Unless the Retribution Knight died, they would never be able to advance again.
However, it was different for Lin Li's Death Knights. Coincidentally, they mistook Lin Li for a Retribution Knight, but Lin Li could not continuously draw power from the Death Knights like a real Retribution Knight. Even if the Death Knights took the initiative to offer their power out of instinct, Lin Li would not be able to use any of it unless he became a Necromancer.
