Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master - Chapter 688

Chapter 688: Undead Heaven

For Lin Li, Elder Randy, and Cheyenne, 10 seconds was like a countdown to the end of their lives. Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest could no longer be bothered to think about what they could do; all they knew was that they were desperately resisting the attacks from the Undead creatures. Judging from the situation in front of them, they could tell that they would probably get killed by the overwhelming Undead creatures before the Ghost in the sky even awakened.

The Undead creatures were continuously coming forth in a bid to stop Lin Li. However, Lin Li’s flying skills were already at the maximum. It was almost reaching the point of teleporting, and even Norfeller could not catch up with Lin Li. Since the Undead creatures had yet to fill up the Sky Castle, they could not do anything to Lin Li.

Lin Li frowned and pursed his lips while continuously urging himself to hurry up. He had never found time to be so precious before, and finally understood why others considered time to be life. If he couldn’t finish the mageweaths within 10 seconds even once, he would lose everything even if he only had one tower left.

Lin Li was channeling his maximum mental strength, while mana rolled continuously within him, almost emerging from his body. He could no longer see anything apart from the towers, not even the Ghost in the sky nor Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest.

Even Lin Li himself had no idea if he could complete all of the mageweaths within such a short period of time. All he could do was think of every possible means to speed up using his mental strength and mana. It seemed that Lin Li’s shadow would only show when he was drawing a mageweath. He waved the Inscription crystal pen in his hand and drew a mageweath while mana continuously poured out. Before the glow disappeared, he had already arrived in front of another tower and was repeating his actions.

The Undead creatures which received instructions and were preparing to stop Lin Li had no choice but to change their direction and move away after receiving another order. The Undead creatures actually turned around helplessly while receiving continuous orders because they had no idea where to go to catch Lin Li.

Within just 10 seconds, 144 Guru-level mageweaths were drawn on 36 towers. It was an impressive feat that probably no one would believe. 10 seconds was not enough for one to even walk through the 36 towers, let alone draw Guru-level mageweaths. The requirements for the mana and mental strength of the 144 Guru-level mageweaths were absolutely terrifying.

If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Li’s power had already reached the peak of level-22 and he had gotten a breakthrough in his understanding of nomological power, he probably wouldn’t be able to achieve such great speed even if he could also draw several mageweaths. He wouldn’t be able to draw so many, either.

Fortunately, Lin Li’s mental strength was continuously growing at a high speed under the stimulation of the Evil Eye Tyrant’s magical crystal ring. Also fortunately, Lin Li’s mental strength was purified again by the massive controlling magical crystal. That was the very reason Lin Li chose to take this dangerous path. It was not because he was underestimating his own strength, but because he knew where his abilities were.

If Lin Li’s current strength was the same as when he’d first arrived in the Sky Castle, the first thing he would do would be to return to the sixth floor of the Central Tower to seek refuge from the space traps created by the Immortal King. He didn’t care if he would be trapped in there or not, because survival was the most important thing at the moment.

However, Lin Li was very clear about his strength, and knew what he could and could not do. Going around 36 towers and drawing 144 mageweaths within 10 seconds did seem absolutely impossible for others, but Lin Li was confident about giving it a try.

“Howl!”

An angry roar sounded in the sky, and thick black mist burst out from the Ghost. It seemed to be able to kill all of insignificant people below it. The Undead Army broke into an uproar, and the devouring speed of the Door of Darkness was significantly faster, while a large number of Undead creatures swarmed out.

Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the others had already retreated as far as they could, and they were already leaning against the base of the Central Tower behind them, looking desperately at the Undead creatures that were swarming around. Cheyenne was as pale as a sheet, and his weak hands trembled while he held onto his Dark Moon Staff. Everyone else around him was extremely disheveled, and even the sacred unicorn was covered in wounds.

The last tower! Lin Li suddenly appeared, but there were countless Undead creatures around the tower. Lin Li didn’t even bother to cast a defensive spell. As soon as he appeared, he quickly raised his hand and drew a mageweath on tower using the crystal pen before the Undead creatures even responded.

The gilded Skeletal Warriors raised their sharp blades in the air and shot them at Lin Li who was standing in the middle from all directions. However, when the swords almost touched Lin Li, he finally finished the last mageweath, and his surroundings seemed to have frozen.

Within 10 seconds, he completed 144 Guru-level mageweaths on the 36 towers. Lin Li was almost exhausted and out of breath. His mental strength was giving him a splitting headache that made him feel weak and feeble. After completing all the mageweaths, Lin Li finally realized that he could not tolerate it any longer. Facing the Undead creatures and the Necromagic that was looming over him, he could not even withdraw some mana to release a low-level defensive spell.

Everything depended on whether his plan would succeed or not. Otherwise, he would face a horrible death. Lin Li did not immediately take out the huge magical crystal to help himself recover, and instead used the recovery power of the Star-scarred Robe to support himself.

The Ghost in the sky that had been sleeping for over a millennium suddenly roared and released thick fumes of black smoke. Almost all of his figure was exposed, and the massive death aura was shrouding the entire Sky Castle.

It finally awakened, didn’t it!? Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest were overwhelmed with disappointment, which was written all over their faces. The Undead creature in the sky was invincible, and its awakening meant that everyone wouldn’t have a chance of surviving!

However, at this moment, the 36 towers suddenly released plenty of dazzling light again at a rapid speed. When the 36 towers were lit up, the entire Sky Castle was shrouded by the blazing light that was like the scorching sun. It then engulfed everything, while the thick death aura immediately vanished.

Seeing that the Blaze Trap Mageweath was being activated normally, Lin Li closed his eyes to avoid the glaring light. He no longer had to worry about everything else in the surroundings. The countless Necromagic spells that were flying above him vanished instantly before they even landed. The swords that almost touched Lin Li’s body melted instantly like snow in the light. The Undead Army that was surrounding Lin Li was suddenly shrouded in black mist. Even the gilded Skeletal Warriors with Legendary strength turned into ash in the blink of an eye.

The Ghost in the sky seemed to be breaking free from the thick fumes of black mist, but at this moment, it was drawn back by the rolling black mist again, leaving behind only an indignant roar that filled the entire Sky Castle.

In the magic circuit of the Conquering Mageweath, the magnificent mana had been taken over by Fergaro Mageweath and weakened by Max Mageweath, after which it got injected into the Blaze Trap Mageweath by Buwanga Mageweath. Despite the filtering by the three mageweaths, the mana was still extremely powerful, and the power of the Blaze Trap Mageweath was maximized.

The outburst of the 36 mageweaths completely ignited the Sky Castle that was silent for a long time. The entire Sky Castle seemed to be a bright and shining sun that was engulfed by light. The infinite Undead Army melted instantly without resistance like ice in the sun.

When the light was no longer that glaring, Lin Li knew that it was time to leave. The mana source of the Conquering Mageweath was just too domineering and tyrannical. Even if he had arranged the four Guru-level mageweaths, he still could not terminate the massive mana. Once the Blaze Trap Mageweath collapsed under the mana infusion, everything would return to its original state.

“What are you waiting for? Flee!” Lin Li shouted loudly at Cheyenne and the rest while taking his two Undead servants with him as he flew towards the Teleportation Portal. Although the light that erupted from the Blaze Trap Mageweath caused great damage to the Undead creatures, Norfeller and Ujfalusi were rather strong. Hence, they bore the pain and followed their master into the light.

Cheyenne, Elder Randy, and the rest were all stunned by this sudden change. The Undead Army had been almost drowning the entire Sky Castle. They reckoned that there were more than 1,000,000 Undead creatures in the Undead Army. No one knew what the young mage had done to annihilate almost all of the Undead creatures. Even the Legendary Undead creatures turned weak under the light, and it was only a matter of time before they got destroyed by the light.

When they heard Lin Li yell, they recovered from the shock and stared at the street that was almost free of Undead creatures. They quickly got a grip on themselves and scurried towards the Teleportation Portal. Although they did not know what Lin Li had done, the terrifying Undead creature was still present, and if they did not take the chance to escape, they would definitely regret it.

Everyone rushed straight to the Teleportation Portal, and no one bothered to touch the weak Legendary Undead creatures even when they passed by them. Everything that they faced just now was really too terrifying; what they wanted now was to leave quickly.

The Ghost in the sky stopped roaring indignantly, and instead began chanting something that no one could understand. There seemed to be some magic brewing in the sky.

“Hurry, hurry and flee, it’s the Undead Heaven!”

Connoris’ shriek of horror sounded in Lin Li’s mind.

Lin Li’s heart suddenly sank, and he turned around to look at the others. “Hurry up, that is the Undead Heaven!”

After leaving this place, Cheyenne’s Malfa Family, Elder Randy, and the elves would all become the most important partners of the Tower of Dusk. Lin Li didn’t want the deals that he had clinched with them to become void just because they couldn’t escape.

Everyone panicked upon hearing Lin Li’s yelling; they could not hide their horror at all. They tried to bear with the fatigue after the battle and did their best to raise their power to the maximum. Although they could not understand what magic spell the Undead creature chanted in the sky, no one doubted Lin Li.

The Undead Heaven was a Necromagic spell that was said to reach level-27. The ultimate form of Necromagic was even more tyrannical than the Seven-Realm Spiral. In this space, everything would be turned into Death aura, and all living creatures would be turned into Undead creatures. They would also be forever trapped in the soul fire that was released by the caster. Even a Legendary figure would be no exception.

Despite having just experienced a fierce battle, no one dared to let their guard down under the threat of the horrendous magic, Undead Heaven. They continuously squeezed their potential in a bid to rush into the Teleportation Portal before the Undead Heaven was completed. However, due to the oppression by the Undead Army, everyone who’d initially been already near the Teleportation Portal was now rather far away from it.

The constant chants in the sky were like the footsteps of the reaper. When they were outside of this world, they were all prominent figures because of their Legendary power, but they were now no longer bothered about that, because escaping was their top priority. Even Elder Randy who had experienced plenty of ups and downs could not help but panic. When faced with Undead Heaven, a level-23 Legendary powerhouse was insignificant.

Seeing that they were getting nearer and nearer to the Teleportation Portal, the chanting, too, seemed to have quickened as if it was the end of the spell. While running for their lives, they looked up to see that there was a black glow in the sky, and it seemed that the overpowering Undead Heaven would be exploding anytime soon.

Although Lin Li had overdrafted a lot of his mental strength and mana to complete the 144 mageweaths, he had plenty of powerful tools, which was rather fortunate. The ring of the Evil Eye Tyrant magical crystal had excellent healing effects, while the Star-scarred Robe that he got from Elder Randy aided him by continuously replenishing mana. Hence, it did not affect his speed in running away.
