In an instant, the expedition's attack was easily disintegrated by Osric. On the other hand, the members of the expedition were flustered by the attack that they had just cast. In particular, the few mobile magical cannons of the Rotterdam Kingdom were directly blown into pieces by the reversed mana cannons. Even some of the people around them were affected.
Clearly, it was impossible to snatch the control crystal back from Osric. No matter how indignant Lin Li was, he had to admit that the difference in strength was too great. At this moment, Osric was probably even stronger than the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council.
"Continue to attack, his reverse attack mageweath array has a time limit!" As a Guru of Inscription, Lin Li recognized the mageweath array on Osric's Divine King's Battle Robe at a glance. At the same time, he also grasped all the information about the mageweath array.
Under Lin Li's orders, the members of the expedition immediately launched an all-out attack on Osric as soon as they dodged the attack that was reversed.
Archbishop Martin chanted a holy prayer, and the Light of Judgment that was burning with silver flames penetrated the void and landed on Osric's head. Donald waved the staff in his hand and chanted a long incantation at the top of his lungs, summoning balls of destructive lightning from the void. The tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua, Ujfalusi, Basel, the mages of the Tower of Dusk, and so on could even destroy a city or flatten a giant mountain instantly.
A large number of magic attacks instantly drowned Osric's figure, and the roar of the magic explosion reverberated in the space continuously. The entire Central Tower seemed to be shaking continuously.
However, just as everyone was attacking Osric with all their might, Lin Li, who had issued the order to attack, did not join in. Instead, he once again activated the power of the seven pieces of the debris of the stars, and the seven rays of light condensed into a dazzling pillar of light that blasted straight at the pyramid-shaped control panel in the center.
Lin Li did not think that there was only one type of defensive mageweath array on Osric's Divine King's Battle Robe. Besides, with Osric's strength at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, he would not be harmed by the attack of the expedition at all even if he did not have the Divine King's Battle Robe. Hence, letting the expedition continue to attack Osric was just to attract his attention. The central control panel where the control crystal was placed was Lin Li's real target.
Since he couldn't obtain it, he could only destroy it! Faced with such a situation, Lin Li had no choice but to be ruthless. If he could not snatch the control crystal back, he would not be able to gain control of the Sky Castle. He did not want to watch the Sky Castle fall into Osric's hands.
Under the full activation of Lin Li, the seven pieces of the debris of the stars erupted with a destructive power that could almost blast a bottomless abyss into the ground.
However, in the face of the crazy attacks of the expedition, Osric held onto the control crystal, and stretched out his hand to prop up a barrier while watching Lin Li's attacks. He did not seem to have any intention of blocking them at all. There was no trace of worry on his face at all. After Lin Li's attack landed on the control panel, he sneered, "This control panel was personally built by Teacher using the core of the stars. Not to mention your insignificant strength, even I can't damage it at all."
Indeed, when the dazzling light dissipated, Lin Li was shocked to discover that there was not a single trace of damage on the surface of the control panel that had withstood his full attack.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li and the members of the expedition could not help but feel a sense of despair. They could not defeat Osric, snatch the control crystal, or destroy the control panel. Were they destined to let Osric gain control of the Sky Castle?
Osric was a notorious butcher in the history of Anril. His hands could no longer be described as stained with blood. It was as if he had been soaked in the blood of countless lives. The High Elves had been exterminated by the rebel forces of the humans and other races. As the Highlord of the High Elves, Osric had deep hatred for the humans and other races.
If Osric, the most brutal butcher in history, really gained control of the Sky Castle, God knew how crazy his revenge would be on Anril. That would definitely be a huge disaster for the various races in Anril.
Of course, those were all things that would happen in the future, and no one could say for sure if it would happen. Not everyone had such great sentiments and was willing to sacrifice their lives for the peace of the world. However, the members of the expedition were very clear about one thing, and that was that if Osric got the Sky Castle, he would definitely not let them off. No one would be able to escape.
In this case, even though they knew that everything was futile, and their hearts were filled with despair, the members of the expedition had no choice but to go all out. Anyway, they only had one life, and they might die if they fought, but they would definitely die if they didn't. Hence, they might as well go all out.
"Since we can't destroy the control panel, let's destroy that magical crystal!"
As a voice sounded, a beam of mana pierced through the void, and accurately shot towards the control crystal in Osric's hand. The one who launched the attack was Angelano, who had already manipulated the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus. The beam of mana came from the Magical Crystal Cannon on the arm of the Alchemy Colossus.
However, in the face of the mana cannon that suddenly shot over, Osric did not dodge at all. He simply grabbed the magical crystal with his hand, and punched the mana cannon. With a loud roar, the mana cannon dissipated, but the magical crystal in Osric's hand was not damaged at all.
"Another rebel who can't wait to be punished," Osric said coldly while waving his hand towards Angelano. He waved his hand in Angelano's direction, and countless thunderbolts blasted towards the massive body of the Alchemy Colossus.
However, Angelano was considered to have taken the lead, and the rest of the expedition who were inspired immediately locked their attacks on the magical crystal in Osric's hand.
Norfeller's figure suddenly appeared beside Osric, and he stabbed one of the Heaven's Wrath daggers towards Osric's heart, while the other one slashed towards the magical crystal in Osric's hand.
Unfortunately, Osric was not a pure mage. The two professions of a mage and a Warrior were only differentiated by humans due to their limited talent. The High Elves had always been dual cultivators of magic and martial arts. Osric moved slightly, and dodged Norfeller's dagger. At the same time, he punched Norfeller's chest with his fist that was holding onto the magical crystal at lightning speed. The clear sound of bones breaking could be heard with just one punch, and Norfeller's body was blasted away.
Jeremiah and Kanber, the two knights who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm, emitted a rich glow of Combat Energy from their bodies, and the sharp swords in their hands drew rays of light in the air. They each displayed their strongest skills to besiege Osric, but their goal was only to destroy the magical crystal in Osric's hand.
However, if they were to classify professions, Osric was not only a mage who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, but also a Warrior who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. The melee combat that Jeremiah and Kanber were proud of was as childish and ridiculous as a fight between children in front of Osric.
In the blink of an eye, two figures flew away from Osric, splattering large amounts of blood along the way. Jeremiah and Kanber fell to the ground far away, and vomited two mouthfuls of blood, but they no longer had the strength to stand up.
To be honest, with the strength of the expedition, it was impossible for them to even hurt Osric, much less destroy the magical crystal in his hand. To be honest, with the strength of the expedition, it was impossible for them to even hurt Osric, much less destroy the magical crystal in Osric's hand.
They could not snatch it, destroy the control panel, or destroy the magical crystal. All of a sudden, the members of the expedition did not know how to fight even if they wanted to. The only ones who could fight were Archbishop Martin, Donald, Jeremiah, and Kanber, who were at the peak of the Legendary-realm. As for the other Legendary powerhouses, they would not be able to withstand a single blow. The remaining Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom were also easily blasted into pieces by Osric's magic attack. After Jeremiah and Kanber fell to the ground with serious injuries, the remaining people of the two forces could not help but feel timid.
On the Tower of Dusk's side, the tender Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua, Ujfalusi, Basel, and the mages of the Tower of Dusk were still bombarding Osric with magic. Two Humerus Wyrms were hovering above Osric's head, spitting dragon breath from time to time or casting powerful dragon language magic spells.
Connoris, Norfeller, the Demon Gordon, and the Lord of Nightmares were desperately fighting Osric in close combat under the cover of their own magic spells.
There was also the Holy Death Knights, which could now be called the Retribution Knights. They formed an Infinite Massacre Battle Formation, and surrounded Osric in a bid to strangle the Highlord.
However, the difference in strength was too great. Not long after the Retribution Knights came into contact with Osric, a few Retribution Knights were smashed and crippled by Osric. Seeing that the Retribution Knights were simply sending food to the Highlord, Lin Li had no choice but to order the Retribution Knights to retreat temporarily.
Next, Osric's figure flashed into the sky, and he grabbed the horns of the Crimson Wyrm with one hand. He threw the massive dragon body far away like a broken bag, and it smashed into the wall in the distance.
Osric descended from the sky, and stepped on the Demon Gordon's head, turning the demon with a metal body into a metal pancake. He then took the opportunity to punch the Lord of Nightmares, who was charging towards him, until he exploded.
Seeing that the members of the expedition were severely injured one by one, Lin Li's heart grew colder and colder even though he was still attacking continuously. This was Highlord Osric. It was no wonder that he could kill Tyrant Balak of the Endless Abyss with his own strength while being surrounded by countless Zago Demons.
Compared to Tyrant Balak, who was one of the ancient deities, and the endless army of Zago Demons, the power of the expedition was nothing. It was simply impossible for them to subdue Osric who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm with this little bit of power.
However, at this moment, Lin Li suddenly felt something in his heart. It turned out that Osric, who was fighting, had actually begun to expel his Mental Imprint in the control crystal. Once Osric got rid of Lin Li's Mental Imprint, he would be able to enter his own Mental Imprint into the control crystal, and then gain complete control of the Sky Castle through the control center.
However, after sensing this situation, Lin Li was not shocked, but delighted instead. He was still worrying about how to defeat Osric, and didn't expect Osric to give him such an opportunity. Lin Li's mental strength was extraordinary, and there was probably no one else in the entire Anril that could compare to him. Even the three arbitrators were no match for him in terms of mental strength.
Hence, Lin Li was rather confident in his mental strength. Although Osric, who was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm, was difficult to deal with, it was not certain who would emerge victorious in a battle of mental strength.
At the thought of this, Lin Li summoned the Lord Devourer, Garl, from the Summoning Lamp, and asked Garl to use its ability to continue attacking Osric with the others. On the other hand, he began to inject his mental strength continuously through the mental connection left in the control crystal in a bid to have a big battle with Osric on the mental level.
Compared to the battle outside, the battle on the mental level was like a large-scale war. The massive mental strength that Lin Li was controlling was like commanding a large army. After the mental strength entered the control crystal, it immediately integrated with the Mental Imprint that he had left behind, and then set up a formation to face Osric's mental strength that was invading.
At this moment, Osric was dealing with the attacks of the people from the Tower of Dusk while injecting his mental strength into the control crystal to get rid of Lin Li's Mental Imprint. Hence, Osric had long noticed the sudden increase in Lin Li's Mental Imprint, but he was not affected by it at all.
The battle outside seemed to be very intense, but the battle on the mental level was even more thrilling. Lin Li originally thought that with his massive mental strength, he would be able to crush his opponent without any difficulty. However, what he did not expect was that Osric was clearly not a weakling in terms of mental strength.
Moreover, Osric was even better in terms of subtle manipulation of mental strength. Under his control, his mental strength was just like an elite army that continuously surrounded and divided Lin Li's mental strength, constantly nibbling away at the space that Lin Li's mental strength occupied.
After a few rounds of confrontation, Lin Li knew that he had kicked an iron plate. After all, Osric was the Highlord of the High Elves, and yet he was playing strategic tactics in a battle of mental strength.
