After all, the battle between Lin Li and Osric had taken place far away from the sky above Alanna City. Donald couldn't figure out how Lin Li had killed Osric, and he didn't know how many times Lin Li had used Thunderbolt during the battle. In his opinion, if Lin Li could still use that magical weapon, he would have used it without hesitation in the current situation. Otherwise, he might not even have the chance to use it in the future.
At this moment, Lin Li did not take out Thunderbolt. Instead, he took out another piece of the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark. Around Gloomy Dark, there were two small black balls orbiting Gloomy Dark like satellites.
With Lin Li's current realm, the powerhouses at the peak of the Legendary-realm were like ants to him. The so-called trump cards were not reserved for existences like them. He did not use Thunderbolt not because he was worried about the covetous eyes of Donald and the others, but simply because it was inappropriate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Thunderbolt without concealment when he killed the High Elf who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm.
This time, Lin Li took out Gloomy Dark. However, considering the power of Gloomy Dark and its fatal temptation to Undead creatures, he used his mental strength to suppress the mana waves of Gloomy Dark when he took it out. If he didn't do that, all the Undead creatures in this world would probably go crazy because of the power of Gloomy Dark.
The two black spheres floating around Gloomy Dark were left behind after Lin Li killed the Twin Dracoliches in the green dragon graveyard in the Haiga Mountain Range. All along, Lin Li had not been able to figure out the relationship between the two black spheres and Gloomy Dark, nor did he know how to make use of the two black spheres.
However, after stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li could be said to have made a qualitative leap in his mastery of the debris of the stars. Although the leap did not allow Lin Li to fully exert the power of the debris of the stars, he had a considerable understanding of the nature of their power.
Under the stimulation of Lin Li's mental strength, the two black spheres around Gloomy Dark suddenly sped up, and after reaching a certain limit, they flew out one after another. Next, there were two dull explosions, and a large amount of black fog erupted. Two identical Dracoliches appeared in the sky above the team.
Compared to when they were in the green dragon graveyard, these two Dracoliches were much more powerful. They had already reached the peak of level-23, and were only a step away from level-24. However, in reality, Lin Li knew that the two Dracoliches no longer had any power. Their power was given by Gloomy Dark, or rather, they were more like a vessel that contained the power from Gloomy Dark.
Although Lin Li was not sure if existences like the debris of the stars had their own will, the two Dracoliches were undoubtedly controlled by Gloomy Dark. If Gloomy Dark was Lin Li's magical weapon, the two Dracoliches could be said to be Gloomy Dark's tools. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were an incarnation of Gloomy Dark to a certain extent.
Seeing that Lin Li did not take out the mysterious and powerful magical weapon as he had expected, he took out something else and summoned two Dark Mages who were emitting powerful magical waves. Donald felt like he was going crazy, and he roared hysterically in his heart, How many trump cards does this unknown President of a small force have!?
Although Donald could not recognize the mysterious existence of the Dracoliches, he could clearly feel the massive level-23 magical waves from the two Dracoliches. Even in a force like the Rotterdam Kingdom, the peak of level-23 was definitely a powerful combat power that was at the top.
In fact, not to mention level-23 Legendary powerhouses, even ordinary powerhouses who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm would be roped in by the royal family. They would get titles and riches. In fact, it was not just the Rotterdam Kingdom. If it were any other force, it would probably be the same. Besides, even if they tried their best to win over them, they might not be able to move every Legendary powerhouse, let alone a level-23 powerhouse who was about to reach the peak of the Legendary-realm.
As for grooming them themselves, the price they would have to pay would be even greater. Even with massive resources, they might not be able to produce a Legendary powerhouse. That was precisely the reason that the Rotterdam Kingdom spent more energy on the Alchemy Colossuses. At least, it was much better than spending countless resources to groom a person only to find out that he could not step into the Legendary-realm in the end. That was also one of the reasons why the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom believed that alchemy would eventually replace combat professions such as Mages and Warriors.
However, someone had used an inconspicuous magical tool to summon two of such a powerful force, which was desired by all forces but could not be sought after! Looking at the two level-23 Dark Mages in mid-air who were shrouded in black mist, Donald and the others were so jealous that they almost vomited blood. Damn it, where did this kid come from? Since he's so powerful, why haven't I heard of the Tower of Dusk before!?
Of course, Lin Li did not care about what the others were thinking. After summoning the Twin Dracoliches, he immediately issued orders to them through Gloomy Dark.
Immediately afterwards, the two Dracoliches, who were shrouded in black mist, dashed out of the team without saying a word, and charged towards the Undead Greater Demons that were approaching the expedition. One of the Dracoliches opened his hand, and the Poison Domain was suddenly activated, enveloping a large area of space, including the Undead Greater Demons. All the Undead creatures that were enveloped by the Poison Domain were instantly stained with a layer of green.
Although Undead creatures had an extremely high resistance to poison, the power that the Dracoliches possessed now came from the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark. The poison was no longer a simple poison, but a type of Law. After being shrouded by the Poison Domain of the Dracoliches, the movements of the Undead creatures immediately became much slower and stiffer. Even their soul fire seemed to have been corroded by the poison.
However, the strength of the Undead Greater Demons was, after all, much stronger than that of the Skeletal Warriors. Even though their bodies and soul fire were contaminated by the poison, they did not seem to be greatly affected. They waved their three-pronged steel forks one after another, and still strode towards the expedition, as if they would not stop until they skewered a few people on the steel forks.
However, immediately afterwards, the other Dracoliches also took action, and also activated their own Magical Domain. The Death Domain that was emitting the aura of nirvanic extermination instantly fused with the Poison Domain. That was the characteristic of the Twin Dracoliches. Due to the fact that they were twins, their Magical Domains could be fused together, and the Laws of Death and Poison complemented each other without causing any interference. With that characteristic, the Twin Dracoliches would probably be able to compete with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses if they advanced to the peak of the Legendary-realm.
With the appearance of the Death Domain, the soul fire in the eye sockets of the Undead Greater Demons immediately trembled violently, and the weaker ones actually flew out directly and integrated into the Magical Domain of the Dracoliches. All of a sudden, everyone could clearly see that a large number of light green sparks flew out of the bodies of the Undead creatures that were shrouded in the Magical Domain, and then gradually disappeared while floating. With the disappearance of each spark, an Undead creature would collapse on the ground, and its skeleton seemed to have suddenly lost its restraints.
Looking at the spectacular scene, be it the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom or the Brilliance Shrine, they were all dumbfounded. Actually, they could not be blamed for having such a reaction. They did not know that the power used by the two Dracoliches came from the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark, which contained pure Laws of Darkness.
In less than a moment, hundreds of Undead Greater Demons, as well as a large number of Skeletal Warriors that were blocking in front of the expedition, were silently wiped out by the two Dracoliches. Under Lin Li's reminder, the members of the expedition finally snapped back to their senses, and immediately sped up to continue moving in the direction of their target.
However, the two Dracoliches did not keep clearing the path in front of the expedition. Instead, after destroying the batch of Undead Greater Demons, they immediately faced the team of Undead Greater Demons that were pouncing over from other directions. Under the full attack of the two Dracoliches, none of the Undead Greater Demons could successfully approach the expedition.
With the guards of Ujfalusi and Norfeller above their heads, and the two Dracoliches around them continuously blocking the Undead Greater Demons, the expedition would not fall into a predicament for a while. However, after being surprised, the members of the expedition did not feel relieved because of that, because they knew that the truly powerful Undead creatures had yet to appear!
Although no one knew what kind of strange Undead creatures the Immortal King had researched and created in this world, they knew that the most powerful ones were the Humerus Wyrms. Humerus Wyrms were not necessarily the skeletons of wyrms, but as long as they were Humerus Wyrms, even the weakest would be at the Legendary-level.
Humerus Wyrms were not necessarily the skeletons of wyrms, but as long as they were Humerus Wyrms, they would at least be at the Legendary-level. Given the scale of the Undead creatures in this world, people could not imagine how many Humerus Wyrms there would be. However, what was certain was that the Immortal King would definitely not be satisfied with only creating some low-level Undead creatures.
However, there was no way out. They could either stop and wait for death, or go all out and fight! Now, everyone in the expedition knew that the deeper they went, the more high-level Undead creatures they would encounter, and the more dangerous the situation would be. However, they also knew that they had no other choice but to move forward. Stopping would only allow them to live a little longer.
If one were to go all out, they would often be able to erupt with greater power. The members of the expedition no longer thought about retreating, and all they had in mind was to move forward in the direction of their goal. Hence, there was a significant increase in the speed of their advancement.
Of course, the increase in speed was only relative to before. In fact, the speed of their advancement was not much different from that of an ordinary person walking. After all, the resistance that the endless Undead creatures brought to the expedition would not change because of their emotions.
It was not that the expedition had not tried to eliminate the Undead creatures in front of them to achieve the goal of increasing the speed of advancement. Even the mages of the Tower of Dusk had once used Legendary-level magic to blast the Undead creatures in front of the team, but the effect was like using a knife to split water. Although they could create an empty area in an instant, it would be filled by Undead creatures again in the next moment before the expedition could take a few steps.
As the sun rose and set in this world, the expedition fought in the tide of Undead creatures for two days and two nights without stopping. Finally, the sky that was shrouded in shadows in the distance seemed to be getting larger and larger in everyone's vision. However, even with their eyesight, they still could not see what exactly the shadow was.
The members of the expedition also thought of using the Warlock's Eyes to take a look at the situation there in advance, but there were too many spellcasters among the Undead creatures, and the Warlock's Eyes would be engulfed by the overwhelming magic spells before it could fly far. However, no matter what, the expedition still kept moving forward. As long as they did not stop, they would eventually reach their destination.
However, the expedition had also paid a considerable price along the way. The four Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom had already been completely abandoned. Although they had enough magical crystals to consume, the Alchemy Colossuses that had been running for such a long time had caused great damage to the various parts of their bodies.
Besides, the Skeletal Warriors were not really a threat to the Alchemy Colossuses at all. Water droplets could drip through the stone slabs, and although the offensive power of the Skeletal Warriors was very low compared to the defense of the Alchemy Colossuses, no matter how sturdy the defense was, it would eventually be broken under the endless and continuous attacks.
On the Brilliance Shrine's side, the Holy Light Knights were in charge of the two wings of the team, but the pressure they were under was actually not any less than that of the front. If they were facing ordinary Undead creatures, the Holy Light Knights might have a much easier time, but the Undead creatures in this world seemed to have no fear of the Power of Light.
Even ants could bite an elephant to death, not to mention that the Undead creatures here were not ants, and the Holy Light Knights were not elephants, either. After two days and two nights of battle, seven members of the Holy Light Knights had already died in battle, and the number of seriously injured had reached double digits. Fortunately, there were priests at the back who were continuously using Holy Light Magic to bless and heal them. Otherwise, the number of casualties would have probably doubled.
On the other hand, the mages of the Tower of Dusk were right in the middle of the team. If the Undead creatures did not break through the outer defense, they would not be able to touch them at all. Hence, there had not been any casualties so far. However, although Donald and Archbishop Martin were jealous, they could not say anything about this situation. They could not let the mages fight with the Undead creatures, after all.
Besides, the mages of the Tower of Dusk had not been idle at all. They were bearing the attacks of the enemies for the expedition, and at the same time, continuously bombarding the surrounding Undead creatures with powerful magic spells. The number of Undead creatures killed by the mages of the Tower of Dusk was probably more than that of the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine combined.
