At the same time, a majestic and solemn bell chime could be heard coming from somewhere in the space. Each chime would cause a ripple in the space.
Upon sight of such a scene, Osric finally retracted his playful expression, and his expression became much more solemn. With his mastery of this world, Osric could feel the immense power contained in that magic even more clearly than others.
When the bell rang, Archbishop Martin, who was fighting a High Elf commander on the ground, could not help but look up at the sky. However, that glance made Archbishop Martin look shocked, and he almost forgot that he was still facing an opponent who was not inferior to him in strength.
If not for the timely rescue of the people around him, Archbishop Martin would probably have really fallen. Even so, Archbishop Martin, who had snapped back to his senses, still seemed to be in a trance when fighting the High Elf commander. For a moment, he was completely in a passive position.
Everyone was baffled by Archbishop Martin's change, and even his opponent, the High Elf commander, could not help but think that he was up to some tricks. No one knew that Archbishop Martin's heart was already in turmoil for a long time just because he had taken a glance at the sky.
"Endless darkness shrouds the sky, and the solemn bell tolls the end of all evil. The entire world will finally welcome the final judgment!" In Archbishop Martin's memory, he could not help but recall a passage from an ancient book, which described the scene of the legendary gods passing judgment on the world.
To others, it might just be a legend, but as one of the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine, and one of the four archbishops whose status was second only to the Pope of the Brilliance Shrine, Archbishop Martin knew that the meaning of that passage was not just a legend. It also meant that one could only cast the Sanctuary-level magic, Judgment Day, when they had mastered both the Power of Light and Darkness to the extreme.
Archbishop Martin was not too surprised that Lin Li could master the Power of Light to the extreme, because he had already determined that Lin Li was the Son of The Holy Light. However, Lin Li's mastery of the Power of Darkness actually reached such a level too, which made Archbishop Martin feel extremely shocked.
Could it be that Lin Li was not only the Son of The Holy Light that the Brilliance Shrine recognized, but also the legendary Darkness Incarnation of the Darkness Shrine? Even though Archbishop Martin knew about the relationship between light and darkness, he still couldn't accept such a conjecture.
In fact, Archbishop Martin also knew some Dark Magic, and as a Sanctuary powerhouse, Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine was rather proficient in Dark Magic. That was not a big taboo for the higher-ups of the Brilliance Shrine. However, the so-called Son of Light was essentially a person who possessed a pure Light Physique. Such people were born with extremely strong control over the Power of Light, while the Darkness Incarnation was the exact opposite.
The power of light and darkness existed in a symbiotic relationship. However, if the power of light and darkness were put together, it would actually refer to ordinary people. Therefore, ordinary people could learn Light Magic or switch to Dark Magic, but no matter what, it was difficult to reach the level of the Son of Light and Darkness Incarnate.
However, judging from the fact that Lin Li could cast the legendary Judgment Day, it was obvious that he had reached an extreme level of mastery of the Power of Light and Darkness. If Lin Li was an ordinary person, Archbishop Martin would not believe it at all. It was simply like a combination of the Son of Light and the Darkness Incarnation. However, the combination of the two was the most ordinary physique.
Of course, Archbishop Martin didn't know that Lin Li could cast Judgment Day because he relied on the power of the debris of the stars, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. It had nothing to do with his physique at all. That was precisely the reason that Archbishop Martin seemed to have fallen into a strange circle that he couldn't get out of.
Apart from Archbishop Martin, the others naturally did not have much of a reaction to Lin Li's Judgment Day because they did not know the secrets of the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine. Even though they knew that the might of this magic spell was extremely terrifying from the oppressive feeling it gave them, everyone was still most concerned about their opponents. After all, it was related to their lives, and they couldn't afford to be distracted by other things.
In the area shrouded by Judgment Day, it was different from the gloomy clouds and the natural night. It was as if nothing existed in the space, and the sky had completely turned into a kind of empty darkness. The solemn sound of the bell still echoed in the space, and it was as if the entire world was trembling along with the sound of the bell, waiting for the supreme god to give the final judgment to the world.
All of a sudden, a hole appeared in the dark sky, and an incomparably pure and dazzling pillar of light shot down from the hole in the sky. It was surrounded by countless Angels of Light that were full of holy aura, and blasted towards Osric who was in the sky amidst the pious prayers that filled the entire world.
Even the real Osric probably wouldn't dare to resist the Light of Judgment that could make the world sink into oblivion. The fake Osric had no choice but to take Lin Li's power seriously now. Facing the Light of Judgment Day that was crashing down, Osric quickly recited an incantation, and the magic staff in his hand flickered continuously.
As Osric recited the incantation, a large amount of magical elements emerged out of thin air around him, and the power of the four elements condensed together to form a massive four-colored storm. The storm was surrounded by fire snakes, and thunder and lightning flashed. As it rotated continuously, the powerful traction seemed to tear the space apart. Even the Light of Judgment Day that was crashing down began to tremble slightly, as if the entire world was about to be drawn into it.
"BOOM!"
With a loud sound that resounded in the sky, the Light of Judgment Day finally bombarded the four-elemental storm. In an instant, the countless Angels of Light that were surrounding the Light of Judgment Day were torn apart by the four-elemental storm. However, at the same time, the rotation of the four-elemental storm was gradually weakening under the power of the Light of Judgment Day.
Osric, who was in the center of the four-elemental storm, continuously recited incantations and gathered a large amount of elemental power. On the other hand, Lin Li was also trying his best to stimulate the power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, and inject them into the Light of Judgment Day. As a result, the Light of Judgement seemed to be endless as it descended from the black sky.
In the sky, the two Sanctuary powerhouses were engaged in an intense collision, and the vast sound made the world tremble. On the ground, the battle between the expedition and the High Elves' Magic Legion had also reached a climax.
There were more than 300 members of the High Elves' Magic Legion present, and each of them had power above the Legendary-level. In particular, for the High Elves, there was actually no distinction between mages and Warriors. Each of them was equivalent to a combination of a Legendary-mage and a Sword Sage.
Although that did not mean that the strength of a High Elf was really comparable to that of two humans of the same level, it was enough to suppress humans of the same level. If Lin Li hadn't killed a High Elven commander at the beginning, the expedition would probably have been wishful thinking if they wanted to survive.
However, even then, the situation of the expedition was still rather dangerous. After all, not everyone in the expedition had Legendary-level power, and most of them were only level-18 or level-19. Although they said that they were infinitely close to the Legendary-realm and were only a step away from it, in fact, they had not reached it yet. The difference between them was a qualitative one.
The entire Anril knew that the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom had the power to contend with Legendary powerhouses. However, apart from acting as targets for the High Elves and sharing some of the pressure of the attacks for their companions, they did not seem to be able to contend with Legendary powerhouses at all.
One could imagine that even if they could win this battle, the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom would probably have to undergo a thorough overhaul. Most of them might even be destroyed.
The Brilliance Shrine was not too bad. The Holy Light Battle Song was fluttering above their heads, and the Holy Light Knights had an impenetrable defense with the power of the battle formation. The Holy Light Priests also cooperated well. As long as the balance of the entire battle was not broken, they might be able to persist for a few hours.
More importantly, the Brilliance Shrine could more or less obtain some help from the Tower of Dusk. Although Lin Li's intention was to use the people of the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom as cannon fodder, the cannon fodder had to be valuable. If the cannon fodder was easily destroyed by the High Elves, the Tower of Dusk would have to fight against the entire Magic Legion alone.
The advantage of the Tower of Dusk was that they had many high-level powerhouses, such as Connoris, Ujfalusi, and Norfeller, who were all at the peak of level-24. Connoris, in particular, was able to fight against two peak Legendary-level High Elven commanders alone with the power of his perfect body.
Although there were very few Legendary powerhouses among the mages of the Tower of Dusk, the Magic Net Array could unite their power as a whole. Be it in terms of offense or defense, they were not inferior to real Legendary powerhouses at all.
More than half of the Death Knights who controlled Divine Power had successfully stepped into the Legendary-realm during the battle to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Towers, and became Retribution Knights. That made the power of their Infinite Massacre Formation even more astonishing. If they could all become Retribution Knights, they would probably be able to fight against half of the Magic Legion.
Although the battle in the sky was massive, the battle on the ground was even more tragic. Be it for the humans of the expedition or the High Elves, death was inevitable. Almost at every moment, there would be lives completely erased from this world. Broken limbs and blood splattered everywhere. As the scope of the battle continued to expand, the entire Alanna City gradually became a mess.
All of a sudden, the roars in the sky disappeared, and the dark sky disappeared. The bright sunlight shone on Alanna City again.
Although the members of the expedition did not stop because of that, and no one looked up at the sky, almost everyone could not help but feel their hearts sink. Could it be that the young president of the Tower of Dusk did not manage to hold Osric back after all? No one from the Brilliance Shrine or the Rotterdam Kingdom would believe that Lin Li could kill Osric in such a short period of time. Hence, there seemed to be only one possibility left.
At the thought of that other possibility, the people from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. Now, the expedition was already struggling to hold on against the High Elves' Magic Legion. If Osric were to come back and intervene, the expedition would probably not be able to hold on for even a moment.
Only the people from the Tower of Dusk, from the senior management to the ordinary mages, were rather calm. The mages knew that their president was a powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm. Even if he could not kill Osric, he would definitely not be in a terrible situation. It was even simpler for the senior management. Seeing that Ujfalusi and Norfeller were fine, they knew that Lin Li was definitely fine too. After all, they had a Soul Contract with each other.
In the sky, Lin Li held onto Holy Light and Gloomy Dark tightly, panting slightly as he stared at Osric who was not far away from him. At this moment, the Four Elemental Storm around Osric's body had already dissipated, and he looked no different from before. He seemed to be calm and collected.
Lin Li was very clear that Osric was not pretending. Although he had fully activated the power of Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, Osric was relying on the world created by the Immortal King. It could be said that Lin Li was more like fighting against the Immortal King, and Osric was just playing the role of an intermediary. The impact from the collision just now was very small.
However, it was different for Lin Li. Although most of the power of the Doomsday Judgment came from Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, the mental strength that was consumed was his own. Besides, it was precisely because the power did not belong to him that he had to consume more mental strength when he cast the Doomsday Judgment. Even though Lin Li's mental strength was said to be endless, nothing in this world was truly endless. A Doomsday Judgment was enough to consume half of his mental strength.
A magic spell that consumed half of his mental strength did not cause any substantial damage to his opponent. That would be a very depressing thing for anyone. However, there was only a hint of fatigue on Lin Li's face, and he did not seem anxious at all.
"Ever since I entered this world, you are the first human who has piqued my interest. If you are willing to submit to me, I can forgive your previous offense and grant you a vast territory." Osric did not attack immediately. Instead, he unexpectedly wanted to recruit Lin Li.
