Chapter 681: Rights To Control

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Resisting the weakness caused by the depletion of magic, Lin Li interrupted the activation of the Supreme Mageweath. He sighed helplessly in his heart. His strength was still too weak for the mageweath to be activated. A level-22 Legendary-mage was considered an impressive powerhouse in Anril, but he still had a long way to go before he could control the Sky Castle.

The Sky Castle was undoubtedly the most powerful ultimate weapon of the High Elves. It was not controllable by Legendary-mages. In order to truly control the Sky Castle, one would probably have to wait until they entered the Sanctuary-realm, or even reach the peak of the Sanctuary-realm to fuse with the Sky Castle like the Immortal King had.

Although Lin Li felt that it was a pity that he could not control the Sky Castle, he still looked forward to it because he knew that the Sanctuary-realm was not an illusory goal for himself. Besides, it was likely that there was the debris of the stars, Nothingness, for Lin Li to acquire in Osric’s mausoleum. When the seven pieces of the debris of the stars were brought together, Lin Li would have a smoother journey to the Sanctuary-realm.

Although he still couldn’t control the Sky Castle, Lin Li decided to take the magical crystal away because apart from being able to control the Sky Castle, it had other important uses for Lin Li.

First of all, the ma.s.sive mana contained in the magical crystal definitely had a huge effect on the improvement of Lin Li’s strength. It allowed him to obtain the amount of mana that would require a week of meditation in just a moment, which was more effective than any other Meditation Potion and had no side effects. Although he had reached level-22, Lin Li was still not satisfied with his own strength after seeing the power of the Immortal King.

There was also the Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua, which snacked on magical crystals. It was just like a bottomless pit that required plenty of magical crystals to grow. However, with this powerful magical crystal, it would still continue growing and mature quickly even if Lin Li did not waste any more magical crystals on feeding it.

Although the mages of the Tower of Dusk were rather talented, none of them had broken through to the Legendary-realm, and for those below it, acc.u.mulating mana through meditation was extremely important. Meditation within the scope of this magical crystal would be the same as receiving the benefits of the Tidal Waves.

It was likely that a large batch of mages of the Tower of Dusk would probably become Archmages at the peak of level-19. That meant that the Tower of Dusk would increase in strength, and there would also be more Legendary powerhouses, who would provide incalculable benefits for the future development of the Tower of Dusk.

Of course, to Lin Li, the most important thing was that he would be able to summon the Sky Castle once he had the magical crystal and sufficient power.

Perhaps the Sanctuary-realm seemed illusory and unreachable to everyone, but for Lin Li, the Sanctuary-realm was a clear goal that he could see right in front of him. While others were searching for the direction to the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li had to stay determined and move forward.

Although he still couldn’t control the Sky Castle, Lin Li did not quite feel depressed, because he knew clearly that he was very close to it. Lin Li put away the magical crystal ball and realized that there were no more valuable items in the hall, which also meant that the exploration of the Immortal King’s treasure vault had come to an end.

Lin Li walked out of the hall and walked towards the deadly corridor to see that Cheyenne and Elder Randy were looking in and trying to take a peek. After mastering the magical crystal, Lin Li got a clear understanding of the Sky Castle. He then walked towards an oil lamp and infused it with some of his mental strength, after which a Teleportation Portal appeared beneath his feet.

Looking at the young mage who suddenly appeared beside them, Cheyenne and Elder Randy’s expressions turned complicated. It was no doubt that the lucky Lin Li must have gotten some gains that probably exceeded the value of all of their gains combined. However, no one dared to take the initiative to speak, since there was no reason for them to question Lin Li. Hence, they had no choice but to be disappointed and continue guessing jealously.

However, Lin Li had no time to bother about their mood, because he was eager to explore Osric’s mausoleum. Hence, he smiled at Elder Randy and Cheyenne before saying, “Masters, I’m sorry to have made you guys wait for a long time, but this is already the last floor of the tower. If there isn’t anything else, is it time to leave?”

In any case, all of them had obtained plenty of loot, be it a crystal ball, magical equipment, the lost spells, or impeccable magical equipment designs. All of the items that they’d gained were enough for their respective forces to expand and become stronger.

As Lin Li clearly did not plan to talk to them about the gains that he had gotten on the sixth floor, Cheyenne and Elder Randy had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Everyone had reached an agreement, and quickly arrived at the hall of the first floor, but they had no choice but to stop when they saw the tightly shut door. When they arrived, everyone had to enter the Seven-Realm Spiral of the Orderly Maze after pa.s.sing through the first trap on the balcony of the second floor. However, when they left, they could not avoid the door that had been locked with the Magical Thousand-contraption Lock.

Are we going to be trapped inside forever? I’d rather try to break through the Seven-Realm Spiral again! Everyone was just thinking about how they should use their treasures after going home, so the tightly shut door was like a wet blanket to them. If they had no solution to leave this place, what was the point of all these great gains!?

However, everyone’s worries did not last long. The two Undead servants behind Lin Li suddenly walked out of the team and stood by the tightly shut door. Their movements could not be seen at all, and they simply extended their arms to pull the doors open.

Although the Magical Thousand-contraption Lock could not be unlocked at all, Lin Li had thought about leaving a long time ago. He was indeed not strong enough to control the Sky Castle, or even activate a mageweath, but he could easily use his power to unlock the door.

Although it was only the simple action of opening a door, the door was locked by the Magical Thousand-contraption Lock. Hence, why could it be easily opened by the young mage Lin Li’s team? Everyone watched in shock as the door moved back and forth a few times with Lin Li’s body, and they began to develop a terrifying conjecture about what Lin Li obtained on the sixth floor.

Lin Li looked at the crowd on his left and right, shrugged his shoulders, and walked out of the door while ignoring the look of surprise on their faces.

Regardless of what everyone was thinking, they immediately stopped mulling over it after walking out of the gate of the central tower. Although they did not see anything unusual, they could vaguely feel something inexplicably bizarre in the surroundings.

At this moment, the Sky Castle had already returned to its usual state of silence after Lin Li took away the magical crystal. Everything was no different from when they’d first arrived. However, it still felt peculiar yet clear. It seemed to be haunting everyone and causing them to tense up.

Lin Li frowned slightly, and looked around to see that there was nothing at all in the s.p.a.cious square. The buildings inside were exactly the same as outside the square. There were identical streets that were indistinguishable between the buildings. He turned back and ordered his subordinates to be careful and stay alert. He could no longer be bothered about shocking everyone else, and instead immediately whipped out his giant magical crystal from the Ring of Endless Storm.

As soon as Lin Li took out his magical crystal, Cheyenne and Elder Randy were all dumbfounded, for all they could see was that ma.s.sive magical crystal, and they were thinking about the surging mana wave. What is it that actually produced such a huge magical crystal? Is this the ultimate treasure hidden behind that deadly corridor? they wondered.

Cheyenne and Elder Randy were overwhelmed with jealousy. A Legendary magical crystal was already considered very remarkable in the world of Anril, and they reckoned that even a magical beast of the Sanctuary-realm might not be able to produce it. Everyone knew that a magical crystal was no longer just a container for mana after its level had been fixed, and instead had its respective uses. Although they did not know what functions Lin Li’s magical crystal had, they could not help but wish that they could exchange everything they had for it just because of that ma.s.sive mana.

Holding the magical crystal in his hand, Lin Li ignored the jealous eyes around him and injected a trace of mental strength into the magical crystal. Although he could not control the Sky Castle, he could clearly observe everything in the surrounding within a certain range, which allowed him to see and feel every change in the streets and buildings nearby.

However, even though he could see everything, Lin Li felt increasingly uneasy because he could not detect any abnormalities at all. Not only were there no attackers hiding in dark corners, there was not a single change in energy at all. He wondered if he was just hallucinating, but he reckoned that it couldn’t be the case after staring at everyone else’s reaction.

While staying alert, they carefully moved in the direction of the Teleportation Portal. At this moment, Ujfalusi, who had been following Lin Li, quickly strode towards Lin Li and uneasily said, “Master, there seems to be a strange tension in the air here.”

Lin Li stopped in his tracks all of a sudden and turned to look at Ujfalusi before turning to look at Norfeller, who also nodded slightly. He suddenly realized something. He reckoned that Ujfalusi could be the reason he and the rest could not pinpoint what was wrong even though they could sense that something was amiss.

However, although Ujfalusi was weaker than Norfeller, he was still a Legendary Lich, after all. Even Holy Light would not make him feel so oppressed. Hence, Lin Li reckoned that his feeling of oppression could have been due to Undead creatures’ natural fear towards their superiors.

Although Lin Li was not a Necromancer, he often had his two Undead servants by his side, and had also had many long talks with Sendros, the most famous Necromancer in Anril. Hence, Lin Li was not entirely clueless about the world of Undead creatures.

The world of Undead creatures indeed had a strict hierarchy that was different from that of humans, and the division was instead determined by power that was similar to rules. The lower-level Undead creatures tended to feel uncontrollably fearful when faced with superior Undead creatures. They would not be able to control their fear unless they transcended the rules and created some.

Back in the Undead world of the Seven-Realm Spiral, Ujfalusi, who had Legendary power, had never felt oppressed even when he was faced with the three powerful Undead Lords, yet he actually mentioned it now. Clearly, he was extremely impacted by that feeling.

An Undead Lord was already at the top of the Undead hierarchy. What else was above them!?

At the thought of this, even Lin Li who had always been calm could not help but feel worried. He stopped in his tracks and injected more of his mental strength into the magical crystal to constantly expand his detection range.

Lin Li’s mental strength was focused on the magical crystal, and it spread to the surroundings like invisible ripples. The rows of buildings, streets, and everything else popped up in his head.

Seeing that Lin Li had suddenly stopped in his tracks and slowly spun the magical crystal in his hand, Elder Randy and Cheyenne could not help but get nervous. Along the way, they had encountered various problems, but they had never shown such nervousness or anxiety before. Although they did not know what happened, they were able to guess from Lin Li’s behavior that something extraordinary was about to happen.

As the magical crystal expanded, the intangible mental strength continuously extended to the surroundings. All of a sudden, Lin Li opened his eyes, while his frown continuously deepened. Shock was written all over his face. The peculiar feeling that they felt turned out to be coming from the 36 towers, and it was clearly not like what he had previously thought.

Seeing a horrified expression on Lin Li’s face, Cheyenne and Elder Randy subconsciously tensed up. Although no one questioned Lin Li, they were all constantly guessing.

Lin Li had already reached the peak of level-22, second only to Elder Randy, who was the only level-23 person amongst all of them. However, simply based on the three arrows that Lin Li had, even Elder Randy had to admit that he could not ignore the level of disparity between him and Lin Li. They could not imagine just what the young mage Lin Li had seen to make him so horrified.
