Chapter 405: Frost Dragon Gun
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Almost at the sa ti the icy blue flas fell on him, Adelo felt his body beco light as though he was ramd by a running horse, and his body felt like it was shattering into pieces. Adelo saw black before his eyes, and a gush of blood rushed out from his throat...
Before he could even throw up the blood from the impact, Adelo felt himself flying far away like a kite with broken strings.
It was quite a fall indeed, having been from a height of at least 17 ters. Even if it were a hardy high-ranking Warrior in his place, he would not have fared much better, much less a physically weak mage like Adelo. Adelo felt his head spin from the fall, and saw lights dance before his eyes as though the world was spinning around him.
When Adelo ca back to his senses, the huge shadow in the sky was long gone. There were only ice shards lying on the ground as well as a crater of at least 10 ters it left behind...
“...” Adelo’s mouth was wide open, but he could not make a sound. All of this was too overwhelming. If the ice fla had fallen on him instead, he would have been dead by now even if he was 10 tis stronger than he was...
Standing not far away from the crater was the young mage holding a magic staff. There was a light magical wave circling around him, and the crystal embedded on the top of his magic staff was glowing brightly.
Adelo was an experienced Archmage, after all, so even though he had just suffered a huge fall, he was still able to guess what had happened after seeing all of this. There was no doubt that he had the young mage to thank for the fall, but Lin Li’s intention was not to hurt him—rather, it was to save him from the ice fla...
Adelo was well aware that that was the best thod to use in the situation earlier.
The ice fla ca at them too quickly for anybody to react to it, and even an Archmage like him would not have been able to conjure up a shield when the ice fla fell upon them. The only thing he could do was hope that soone from the advance party would save him. Thankfully, the young mage had done just that—he had used Power of Repulse to save him from the ice fla.
When Adelo thought about what circumstances the Power of Repulse had been conjured up in, he could not help breaking into cold sweat. This was all too strange...
How was Lin Li able to hit him with the Power of Repulse in such circumstances? Was this Felic still human? Adelo did not dare imagine what kind of ntality and reflex was needed to achieve such a feat, much less casting magic at such a speed!
How was Lin Li able to think of hitting him with the Power of Repulse in the face of this Hurus Wyrm? How did he finish the elental sequencing as well as mana release all in a fraction of a second? That was far beyond what a human should be capable of! If Adelo really had to describe this feat, he could think of no better word than “miraculous”...
Adelo had lost track of the number of tis the word “miraculous” had co to mind after eting Lin Li.
And yet, Adelo would have never thought that this young mage who seed to keep creating miracles in his eyes was now complaining as he stared at the disappearing figure of the Hurus Wyrm.
Damn it, why am I so unlucky...? Lin Li held the Aether Staff as he stared at the figure in the sky as he cursed at it in his mind.
This was all because the Warlock’s Eyes had captured a tiny detail when the Hurus Wyrm swooped down from the sky...
There was a slender figure on the back of the Hurus Wyrm!
Even an idiot would know that it ant they were in huge trouble...
How diocre could this person be if they rode a Hurus Wyrm? Ujfalusi had looked so powerful back in Syer Town, but that was all because he managed to combine a sliver of soul fire many years ago, allowing him to sohow summon a Hurus Wyrm...
While a Hurus Wyrm was not a true Wyrm, it was given life by a true Wyrm magical crystal. The ways of a Wyrm were infused into its soul fire. How could a Dragon which had fought the Titans and ruled the sky at one point, being the most powerful creature in Anril, allow just anyone to ride on its back?
All of the ones in the history of Anril who were able to ride a Wyrm were great n of their era, and many of them were still praised in folk songs today. The most well known of them was the Night Dragon Knight, who had fought alongside Geresco during the Dark Ages.
Lin Li finally understood why Cheyenne lost so badly in the Scar of Death even though he was very powerful.
This was incredibly normal—who else could say they would be able to go against a Hurus Wyrm and its rider unless they were as insanely powerful as Apophis?
That was akin to going against two Legendary beings alone! Cheyenne was lucky enough to rely be severely injured. If he was slightly unlucky, he would have lost his life instead.
Unfortunately, it was now too late for regrets. Lin Li could clearly see that when he had frozen in his spot, the Hurus Wyrm had made a turn in the air, and the bone-chilling cold as well as the stench of decay was now approaching them. The slender guy on the back of the Hurus Wyrm had also stood up. Lin Li saw that he was wearing a black cloak, and was holding a long and thin magic staff. When he stood up on the back of the Hurus Wyrm, a strong magical wave suffused with death aura filled their surrounding...
“Another Lich...” Lin Li felt his heart clench as he could feel that this Lich was way more powerful than Ujfalusi.
Besides Lin Li, Ujfalusi and Norfeller had also felt the strong magical wave. Ujfalusi was especially sensitive to this magical wave filled with death aura as he had once been a Lich. Just as the Hurus Wyrm let out a long growl, Ujfalusi’s face beca pale with fear.
“Master—” Ujfalusi opened his mouth, wanting to tell this the owner of their Soul Contract.
“Yeah, Ujfalusi...” Without waiting for the ex-Lich to speak, Lin Li cut him off as he knew what he was about to say. “You don’t have to tell , I know that he’s a Lich. Damn it, we’re really in trouble, these bloody High Elven nobles really had nothing better to do, coming up with this damned place and these two freaks...”
Lin Li cursed angrily as he took out the Holy Light from the Ring of Endless Storm...
However, once Lin Li did so, he could not make up his mind whether to channel mana into it, as this place was far too near the Gloomy Dark. If he activated the Divine Power in the Holy Light, there was a high chance that he might wake the Gloomy Dark as well. When the two forces of Light and Dark collided, it’d instantly bring disaster. By then, the whole advance party would be buried in the collapsed cave without needing these two freaks to do anything...
But if he didn’t...
Instant death was probably a better idea than having the dozen of people here fight a Hurus Wyrm and a Lich...
It was a dead end both ways. Lin Li felt his head ache at the thought.
The worst thing was that the Hurus Wyrm in the air did not intend to give him any ti to ponder any further, as it spat another gust of ice fla at them just as he was speaking to Ujfalusi..
“Damn it, you’ve got guts!” The burst of ice fla ca at them too suddenly, and Lin Li did not have ti to react. Hence, he could only put up an ice wall hurriedly while he cursed at the Hurus Wyrm in a frenzy.
But it was rely a level-15 Ice Wall Spell, and could not withstand the ice fla of the Hurus Wyrm at all. A second later, they could see the ice blue fla explode, followed by a crunching sound as many cracks appeared in the ice wall. Before anyone could comprehend what was going on, the thick wall of ice fell down with a loud boom...
Thankfully, all of this had been within Lin Li’s expectations. After he’d conjured up the ice wall, he continued to chant, and the Dragon’s Eye atop his magic staff glowed brightly as walls of ice sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
In a short period of ti, Lin Li had conjured up seven walls of ice. The Hurus Wyrm’s ice fla destroyed them in an equally short amount of ti, and the ground was soon covered in pieces of shattered ice as the whole place beca a ss even though it’d been spotless just monts ago.
But, they did block off the ice flas at last...
“Norfeller, Gravity Spell!” After saying that, Lin Li raised his head and chugged a bottle of Multicolored Potion.
“Yes!” Vampires were naturally gifted in Dark Magic, and high-ranking Vampires like Norfeller were especially talented at the Gravity Spell. As Norfeller started chanting in a deep and husky voice, a black light appeared around the Hurus Wyrm, and its flying speed decreased...
How could a Hurus Wyrm with a Wyrm magical crystal be tied down by a Gravity Spell? With a long growl, the large wings spread out in the sky, and a strong wind started blowing. Everyone felt a bone-chilling sensation, and the weaker ones on the team like Johnathan and Reggie imdiately felt as though their blood was freezing up. Even the stronger ones like the level-17 Warriors had to channel all their Combat Energy to withstand the sudden surge of cold.
Lin Li was the only one who was not fazed by the cold. He’d already started chanting imdiately after Norfeller used the Gravity Spell, and when the Hurus Wyrm spread its wings, Lin Li was finished with the last line of the spell. The Dragon’s Eye glowed brightly, and a huge Frost Gun appeared...
“I’ll teach you to spit at !”
The Frost Dragon Gun 1 sliced through the air with a deafening noise, the projectile flying towards the Hurus Wyrm in the sky...
The Dragon Gun was called so because it was a gun used to slay dragons. The weapons used by the Titans to fight against the Wyrms were called Dragon Guns; the only difference was that the Dragon Guns used by the Titans were forged from lightning, and even a Wyrm would not be able to escape an attack from the Dragon Gun unscathed.
anwhile, the Frost Dragon Gun used by Lin Li was created by generations of mages, who had taken inspiration from the only surviving Dragon Gun of the Titans. While it was far less powerful, it was particularly effective when used against large creatures... like the Hurus Wyrm in the sky now.
Even though the Hurus Wyrm was quick to escape its restraints, it was still not quick enough to escape Lin Li’s Frost Dragon Gun, and just as it had spread its wings, the attack was already right before it eyes. In a split second, all they heard was a deafening noise before the ters long Frost Dragon Gun’s attack exploded violently. The large amount of magical elents it contained was released in the explosion, causing an earthquake to occur in the cave.
Even though the Hurus Wyrm’s body was incredibly tough, it still suffered a big injury after being hit by a level-20 magic out of the blue. Shattered pieces of bones fell down like rain, followed by a long, pathetic whimper issued by the Hurus Wyrm. Norfeller’s Gravity Spell could no longer hold down the enraged creature, and the huge figure swept past above their heads as it disappeared into the endless darkness.
The Frost Dragon Gun conjured with the help of the Multicolored Potion had allowed them to fend off the ferocious Hurus Wyrm for now, and they finally managed to catch their breath after having been suffocated by the cold. By then, even the wary high-ranking Warriors were fully convinced that if they wanted this mission to be a success, they could only rely on this young mage...
He was able to fend off the powerful Hurus Wyrm with just a spell. Surely even a Legendary mage was no better than that?
However, Lin Li had no ti to celebrate his victory, as he knew very well that even though the Frost Dragon Gun was powerful, it was still not a true Titan Dragon Gun, after all. While he’d managed to injure the Hurus Wyrm earlier, that injury was far from lethal. Moreover, there was Lich far stronger than Ujfalusi standing on the back of the Hurus Wyrm...
He was a true Master of Necromagic. If he was willing, all he had to do was spend so ti to make the Hurus Wyrm as powerful as it was in its pri.
The real fight had only just begun...
