In Osric's mausoleum, only a trace of Osric's Soul Imprint was controlling his body. As for the world created by the Immortal King, the Alanna from 1,000 years ago was just a counterfeit.
However, there was already an indelible entanglement between Lin Li and Osric due to various reasons. Perhaps the relationship between the two of them could also be considered arch-enemies. Even though they were from different eras, the Sky Castle had become the meeting point between the two of them.
The Osric in front of him was not in the form of a Ghost that Lin Li had always thought. Instead, he had a real body and an aura of life. He was just like a living High Elf. His blood-red eyes, pale face, and tall body were exactly the same as the descriptions in the myths and legends. He was wearing the legendary Divine King Battle Robe that he had created for himself. The black battle robe was as dark as the night sky, and there were beautiful patterns on the high collar. The silver shoulder armor was covered with dark gold mageweaths, and there were thin silver lines on the battle robe that formed a Mageweath Array that contained terrifying power.
At this moment, Archbishop Martin and the others finally recognized Osric's identity, and they were filled with shock and horror. After going through all the obstacles along the way, they thought that they had seen everything, but they still couldn't help but shiver in fear when faced with the terrifying pressure that Osric emitted.
In fact, not to mention Archbishop Martin and the others, even Lin Li, who had long been prepared, still felt a deep sense of helplessness when facing Osric. The fear that came from the bottom of his heart was something that Lin Li had never felt before, even when he was facing the incarnation of the Immortal King.
"Oh … Osric, you've been waiting here!" Lin Li's throat was a little dry, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars had long been revolving around his body. However, the fear in his heart still emerged uncontrollably.
Osric's expression was a little stiff. He looked at the control crystal in his hand, and then turned to look at Lin Li. He coldly said, "I knew you would come back. I have to say that it was indeed a mistake of mine not to keep you here the last time. However, there won't be a second time. "
"Is that so? I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Even if you have a new body, you'll have to pay the corresponding price if you want to keep me here." After speaking for once, the fear in Lin Li's heart finally faded, and he quickly calmed down. However, Lin Li, who appeared calm on the surface, was, in fact, constantly cheering himself on. He was a Sanctuary powerhouse who was at the peak of level-26, and had the help of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. He might be able to fight Osric!
Might be able to fight? Under Osric's pressure, Lin Li did not seem to have much confidence even though he was cheering himself on.
Osric, on the other hand, was not angry at Lin Li's words. Instead, he calmly said, "I have to admit that humans do have an advantage when it comes to learning. I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you've already grown to the point where you're qualified to stand before me. Unfortunately … "
It was indeed a pity. If Lin Li was, he would be would be, and would of Of Lin. If Lin had, Lin, he would be. Archbishop Martin and the others had already struggled to stand up, and when they saw the conversation between Osric and Lin Li, they suddenly felt that they were so insignificant.
"The High Elves have already disappeared from Anril. Even if you obtain this Sky Castle, what's the point?" Of course, Lin Li knew that he would not be able to affect Osric with just a few words. God knew what Osric was up to. However, Lin Li also knew that he was indeed not strong enough to fight Osric. Hence, he wanted to stall for time so that the people behind him could gradually adapt to Osric's pressure.
However, Osric clearly did not take Lin Li and the members of the expedition seriously. He did not care if Lin Li was stalling for time at all. He did not look at the expedition at all, and instead looked at the control crystal in his hand again. With some resentment in his voice, he said, "Back then, Teacher left the Sky Castle here. I always thought that it was for me, but I didn't expect it to be for himself. For the sake of his so-called immortality, he can watch his own race perish. In the eyes of people like him, the survival of his race is probably not as important as one of his fingers. "
Upon hearing Osric's words, Lin Li recalled the note that he had found in the Immortal King's alchemy laboratory, which was full of doubts and resentment. At this moment, he finally understood that what Osric had been looking for was the control crystal that controlled the Sky Castle.
Indeed, at the end of the Dark Age, the rule of the High Elves was overthrown. Although there were various reasons, the biggest reason for the High Elves' defeat was the lack of a Sky Castle. Although each of the seven Sky Castles possessed great power, the most powerful state was when the seven Sky Castles were combined into one to form a Magic Array that could suppress the world.
If the seven Sky Castles were all under the control of the High Elves and formed a Magic Array, both sides would probably suffer great losses even if the human and other races had Geresco's leadership. In fact, if the High Elves were hateful enough, they would be able to destroy the entire Anril with the Magic Array of the seven Sky Castles.
However, what really caught Lin Li's attention was the fact that the Immortal King had left the Sky Castle to himself. Those words made Lin Li feel a little puzzled. Since the Immortal King originally owned the Sky Castle, why did he leave it to himself?
Although the Immortal King seemed to have disappeared before the war broke out at the end of the Dark Age, and no one knew where he had gone. However, through various signs, Lin Li vaguely felt that the Immortal King had been watching the entire war of the Dark Age from the sidelines, and had never really left Anril. The Well of the Sun was proof.
Geresco pushed down the Tree of Eternity, causing the High Elves' Sun Shrine to sink into the vortex. The Immortal King put the Well of the Sun into his own world, which was obviously something that happened after that. Since the Immortal King had never left Anril, the Sky Castle had always been his. Why would he leave it to himself?
"Yes, my race has already perished, but your race still exists. I believe you will soon be able to see the significance of me obtaining the Sky Castle." Osric's eyes flashed with bloodlust, and he put away the trace of resentment in his emotions. He opened his palm abruptly in Lin Li's direction. All of a sudden, countless terrifying magic spells gathered in the void around him, and surged towards Lin Li like a roaring flood.
Lin Li, who had long summoned the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, had been keeping his guard up against Osric's actions. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying magic torrent arrived, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars immediately erupted with great power. An incomparably solid Domain World that was full of vitality immediately emerged from the void.
Almost at the same time that Lin Li's Domain World emerged, Osric's magic spells had already bombarded it endlessly, and the densely packed sounds of explosions filled the space. Lin Li's Domain World also shook violently under the violent bombardment of magic spells, and the earth and mountains in the Domain World seemed to be shaking as if the end of the world had arrived.
Osric said that Lin Li was qualified to stand in front of him, but that was only in the Sanctuary-realm. In terms of real strength, the difference between the two of them was still like heaven and earth.
Lin Li was now a Sanctuary powerhouse at the peak of level-26, and with the help of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, he might not be at a disadvantage even if he were to fight a level-27 Sanctuary powerhouse. However, Osric, the proud disciple of the Immortal King, was already a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm during the Dark Age. Although he had obtained rebirth through some means, his strength did not decrease because of that.
The Domain World that Lin Li had constructed with the debris of the stars was torn apart by Osric's magic torrent in an instant, and the seven pieces of the debris of the stars broke away from the void one after another. That was the difference in strength. Osric did not even use his Magical Domain at all, and merely used ordinary magic spells to shatter Lin Li's powerful Domain World.
At the instant that Lin Li's Domain World shattered, Osric's body flashed, and he suddenly appeared in front of Lin Li. He punched Lin Li's head with a pale and bloodless fist that was filled with immense power.
Seeing that the fist was rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes, Lin Li hurriedly activated the Space Robe on his body, and flashed away from Osric's attack range. Although he had dodged the attack, Lin Li broke out in a cold sweat. He had no doubt that if he had been hit by that punch, his head would definitely have exploded.
Just as Osric was about to continue chasing Lin Li, a huge sword light suddenly broke through the void, and instantly slashed towards Osric's hand that was holding the magical crystal. However, in the face of the sword light, Osric did not care at all, and simply waved his hand gently. The sword light that was strong enough to slash a mountain shattered with a bang, and turned into countless light spots that dissipated in the void.
"Connoris, can't you wait any longer?" Osric sneered and looked into the distance, his voice full of disdain.
That sword light was released by Connoris with the Eternal Frost Blade. Lin Li was Osric's enemy, and he, who had seized Osric's perfect body, could not escape Osric's revenge either. Hence, even though he knew that there was a huge difference in strength, and even though Osric's power still made his soul tremble uncontrollably, he had no choice but to attack.
"Osric, you've sealed me for thousands of years. I can only appease the hatred in my heart by chopping off your head with my own hands!" Connoris had long known that he could not escape, so he simply stood up and pointed the Eternal Frost Blade at Osric.
"Lowly worm, how dare you clamor at me? Seems like you've become much bolder." Osric simply raised his hand and pointed, and a ray of light shot towards Connoris like a ray of light from a Magical Crystal Cannon.
Connoris could not be bothered to dodge at all, and merely had the time to block with the Eternal Frost Blade in front of his chest. Next, he heard a loud bang, and the entire space trembled continuously amidst the roar. Connoris' figure also flew backwards in the explosion, scattering countless stars along the way. The Eternal Frost Blade had been smashed into pieces by a single blow.
Fortunately, Connoris' body was also the strongest perfect body, and had also been strengthened and modified by Lin Li. If it had been anyone else who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm like Kanber and Jeremiah, their bodies would probably have been blasted into ashes by this blow.
At the same time that Connoris was sent flying, Lin Li once again launched an attack on Osric. The power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars was stimulated to the maximum, and the seven forces condensed into a World Sword that slashed at Osric's head at lightning speed.
The World Sword that had condensed seven types of world origin power could be considered the strongest attack that Lin Li could exert with the seven pieces of the debris of the stars. Wherever the World Sword passed, a long crack appeared in the space that could not be healed for a long time. Everything in the world became dim under the sword.
However, in the face of the World Sword, Osric merely raised his hand, and used his body to fix the World Sword in place. Immediately afterwards, Osric exerted force in his hand, and the World Sword that seemed to be able to split heaven and earth instantly collapsed. The collapsed world power immediately formed a massive mana storm, but it could not make Osric's battle robe flutter at all.
However, after such a period of time, the members of the expedition had somewhat adapted to Osric's pressure. At least, they would no longer be paralyzed on the ground and unable to move. Suppressing the fear in their hearts, they began to attack Osric without waiting for Lin Li's instructions.
The members of the expedition were well aware that if Osric really took control of the Sky Castle, none of them would be able to leave alive, including Lin Li. Besides, letting this butcher control the Sky Castle would definitely be a huge disaster for the entire Anril.
All of a sudden, the light of magic and Combat Energy shone continuously, and swept towards Osric like a storm. The few remaining Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom's team also waved the giant steel swords in their hands and charged forward with heavy footsteps. The few mobile Magical Crystal Cannons were also quickly charged, and a few mana cannons that were as thick as buckets immediately shot out.
"You've overestimated yourself!" Osric humphed coldly, and the Divine King Battle Robe on his body immediately shone with the light of the mageweath. The entire space was suddenly reversed. All the attacks from the magic and Combat Energy of the expedition also landed on the heads of the members of the expedition in an instant.
