Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1016 - Return

Chapter 1016: Return

“Shut up, minion, can you still go back!?” the Abyssal Demon Dragon roared, and leaped forward abruptly. It managed to seize the remaining Greater Demons effortlessly, stuffing them into his mouth one by one. He chewed incessantly, and the juice splattered everywhere as if he was eating some delicacy.

After swallowing several Greater Demons in the blink of an eye, the Abyssal Demon Dragon finally began preparing to get down to business. The dark gold patterns on its fleshy wings lit up, and a powerful dark magic storm blasted at the Tower of Dusk’s line of defense. The Abyssal Demon Dragon Kiel was worthy of being at the peak of the Legendary-level. Its frenzied bombardment caused the Tower of Dusk’s line of defense to flicker dimly and end up on the verge of collapsing.

However, the team from the Tower of Dusk had clearly gotten used to the endless attacks and means of the enemies. The appearance of the Abyssal Demon Dragon could not do much to them. Although they could not see the hope of defeating the enemy to resolve the crisis, they did not feel helpless because of their impending death, either. After all, the powerful Eternal Furnace was so strong that it might not be easily destroyed even by Sanctuary powerhouses.

To the people of the Tower of Dusk, the only issue was whether or not their President would return, and whether or not he had really died in the Sky Castle. Although some of them remembered that Lin Li was delayed for six months when he explored the Sky Castle for the first time because of some reasons, could the same thing happen twice!?

The mages who retaliated in the Eternal Furnace were all members of the Tower of Dusk. Although there were not many elites, learning the Magic Net Array was mandatory for all mages. Under the circ.u.mstances where the previous magic storm was unsuccessful, and they were faced with the Abyssal Demon Dragon summoned by the enemies, they immediately changed their strategy, and formed the Magic Net Array to unite everyone.

The mages who were in the Eternal Furnace had already gained Legendary-level power under the effects of the Ice and Fire Natural Domain. Back when he was exploring Prince Brahere’s mausoleum, Lin Li brought with him a team of Archmages who could already have Legendary-level combat power with the help of the Magic Net Array. Now, the Magic Net Array united mages that could be considered Legendary-mages, and the combat power they had was terrifying.

The hundreds of Legendary-mages could not be considered to have just stepped into the Legendary-realm, as the Ice and Fire Natural Domain was equivalent to their Magical Domain. Even if they were not at level-21 yet, they were close. Through the Magic Net Array, the mana and mental strength of numerous Legendary-mages were united. Although they could not contend with the Sanctuary powerhouses, their combat power was definitely top-notch, at least at the peak of the Legendary-realm.

The Abyssal Demon Dragon Kiel was destroying the Tower of Dusk’s line of defense manically, and had even caused numerous defensive Alchemy Arrays to stop operating. An opening was about to be formed from the line of defense. However, at this moment, there was a sudden violent tremor in s.p.a.ce, and a frightening mana wave flew out of the Eternal Furnace towards the Abyssal Demon Dragon.

That was a magic spell that was at the peak of the Legendary-level, which was jointly cast by hundreds of Legendary-mages. It was known as the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory, which was the pinnacle of ice element magic spells. In the blink of an eye, it would be able to make the temperature of the s.p.a.ce it engulfed drop to zero and freeze everything in it.

Legend had it that very few mages could cast that magic spell ever since it was created by the G.o.d of Mages, Geresco, even though it was known by many people. It was extremely difficult to cast, and even the Legendary-mages who could cast it would only do so as a last resort when they were extremely hopeless. The reason was that although the power of the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory was terrifying, it would cause Legendary-mages including those at the peak of the realm to exhaust all their mana. It was far less reliable than other magic spells. At least they would still have the strength to escape even if they could not defeat the enemies when casting other magic spells.

Although the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory did not have any shocking appearance when it was cast, and seemed like an ordinary haze that was condensed from diamond dust, it was still glistening brightly under all sorts of rays of light. It resembled snow particles that were blown up into the air by a gale. In fact, they could even feel the chilliness coming from it. One could only see its terror from the s.p.a.ce in between the cracks of the ice.

The moment the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory was cast, the Abyssal Demon Dragon could also feel the danger within it. It had no choice but to give up the Tower of Dusk’s line of defense, while its ma.s.sive body dodged to the side. The Abyssal Demon Dragon’s body was far stronger than the wyrms. Not to mention, it was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, and was about to enter the Sanctuary-realm. However, even then, it dared not belittle the power of that ball of dust. It subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

The Instantaneous Ice Purgatory landed on the ground and exploded silently. All the s.p.a.ce it enveloped immediately froze. The Abyssal Demon Dragon managed to dodge in time, but it was just a subconscious reaction, after all—the Abyssal Demon Dragon did not estimate the power of the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory correctly, thus causing the extent of evasion to be insufficient. Although its ma.s.sive body successfully evaded it, its tail landed in the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory.

The tip of the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s tail was immediately covered in white frost that quickly crept up the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s body. Even though the Abyssal Demon Dragon was no longer within the area enveloped by the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory, the low temperature of the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory was not restricted to that area. The surrounding environment would also be affected.

Hence, in the process of dodging, the layer of white frost spread rapidly from the tip of the Abyssal Demon Dragon’s tail all the way to its body. The white frost was initially just a faint layer, but in the blink of an eye, the intensity increased, and it even turned the Abyssal Demon Dragon into a snow sculpture.

However, the Abyssal Demon Dragon had dodged even deadlier attacks, after all, and it was not a problem for him to resist the power that overflowed from the Instantaneous Ice Purgatory. Indeed, when the dragon-shaped ice sculpture landed on the ground with a loud boom, the snow on its body was shaken off due to the vibration too.

However, those with sharp eyes would definitely be able to see that the scales on the Abyssal Demon Dragon had changed drastically in color. It might not have gotten frostbite, but it was definitely affected.

He was reduced to such a pathetic state by a group of humans! The Abyssal Demon Dragon Kiel was infuriated. Even among the Abyssal Demon Dragons, he was a peak powerhouse. How could he have been provoked by a bunch of humans who were like insignificant minions? He no longer cared about the Tower of Dusk’s line of defense, and simply flapped the fleshy wings on its back. Its large body then sprung up in the air, and flew towards the Eternal Furnace at the top of the Tower of Dusk.

Bang! Bang!

The large body of the Abyssal Demon Dragon immediately became a target for the Magical Crystal Cannons in the air. During his flight towards the Eternal Furnace, the mana cannons blasted at his body continuously, but the Abyssal Demon Dragon was not bothered at all. Although he could not absorb the power of the mana cannons and make it his own like the dwarves could, the power of the mana cannons could not really hurt his body.

Resisting the mana cannons, the Abyssal Demon Dragon finally flew to the height of the Eternal Furnace, but before he could attack it, a large number of powerful magic spells darted out of the Eternal Furnace. The offensive spells immediately bombarded it, and its huge body swayed backward like a boat in a storm amidst the magic spells.

“Atrocious, these d.a.m.ned minions!” The Abyssal Demon Dragon Kiel was a famous figure even in the Endless Abyss. He had always been the one to teach others a lesson, and thus had never felt that helpless.

Canuman and the rest below were watching the situation with sullen expressions. They did not expect that the Eternal Furnace would exert such astonis.h.i.+ng combat power. Unless a Sanctuary powerhouse appeared, it would be a far-fetched idea to break the Eternal Furnace.

“Let Kiel attract the attacks from the Eternal Furnace while the rest of you attack the Tower of Dusk. I refuse to believe that a small force like the Tower of Dusk would be infallible!” Canuman yelled viciously. He was filled with endless fury after his attack failed again.

However, at this moment, Canuman and the others somehow felt their hearts palpitate as the surrounding air seemed to have become much denser. It even seemed a little difficult for them to breathe. Before they could even get a clear idea of where that came from, they could see a ma.s.sive figure flying over towards them.

“What’s that!?” Canuman could certainly see that the huge shadow was definitely not some dark cloud. However, apart from a dark cloud, he could think of nothing else that could fly in the air with such a huge volume.

All of a sudden, a thought popped up in Canuman’s head. As a member of the Supreme Council, he definitely knew that the Sky Garden belonging to the Supreme Council was actually a city in the sky. Although he had never seen the Sky Garden flying low, an insuppressible fear surged from the bottom of his heart when he thought about the ma.s.sive size of the Sky Garden and looked at the large shadow that was flying past.

Canuman didn’t guess wrongly. The ma.s.sive shadow was indeed a Sky Castle. However, he thought that it was the Sky Garden of the Supreme Council, and that the three Arbitrators had found out about his operation this time, and came to provide aid with the Sky Garden. In reality, Canuman would never guess that although it was indeed a Sky Castle, it was one that truly belonged to Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk.

After speaking to Pope Rosario in person, Lin Li moved the Sky Castle back to the Tower of Dusk. Although the two were very far away from each other, it only took the fast-flying Sky Tower a few hours to arrive. Besides, Lin Li and the rest were not flying at full speed, because they wanted to look at the scenery below.

Knowing that he had left Anril for three years, Lin Li could already make a rough guess about the current situation of the Tower of Dusk even if he did not deliberately try to find out. However, he was still rather confident in the power of the Eternal Furnace, and he knew that if the Tower of Dusk were to really encounter any trouble, it could still stay strong with the help of the Eternal Furnace.

Hence, when the Sky Castle flew close to the Tower of Dusk, and he saw the fierce battle below the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li did not seem too surprised. He, the leader of the Tower of Dusk who was in the Sanctuary-realm, left with the elite mages, and they were absent for three years without any news from them. It was only right for there to be some troublemakers.

However, the rest of the Tower of Dusk, especially the leader of the mages, Alan, as well as the other mages, couldn’t tolerate it when they saw the situation. Before they left, they were already the top force of the Breezy Plains, and every force in the Breezy Plains had to show respect to the Tower of Dusk. It had only been a short while, and yet some forces tried to attack them.

“President, let’s go and wipe out those senseless b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” At this moment, Alan, the leader of the mages, naturally stood up in response to the crowd’s clamoring, and requested Lin Li to join the battle.

“Yes, but not by yourselves. Do you remember what you have learned during this time? Have everyone go and prepare immediately, we need to show the power of the Sky Castle to everyone in Anril now.” While giving out the orders, Lin Li fiddled with the control crystal. The scenery around the higher floors was also continuously changing with it.

“Yes, President!” Alan responded without looking at the scenery that was constantly changing. He immediately and eagerly got his subordinates to get ready.

During this period of time, the main task of Alan and the other mages was to familiarize themselves with the operation of the Sky Castle. Although the Sky Castle was not like the Sky Garden that had been modified, the mages could still get familiar with it easily. After all, even Lin Li could not fully exert the power of the Sky Castle now. Hence, it was enough for the mages to master some simple operations for the time being.

While Alan was leading the others to make preparations, the scene of the Tower of Dusk being attacked could be seen on the walls of the control room. The Abyssal Demon Dragon in the sky, the Undead creatures on the ground, and the hundreds of mages could be seen. At last, the image was fixed on Canuman and the others.

Looking at the figures of those people, Lin Li reached out and stroked his chin while smilingly saying to Basel, “Seems like these are the leaders who have been directing the attacks at the Tower of Dusk this time. I have to admit, they’re really lucky. There are not many who can die below a Sky Castle in this era.”
