Chapter 1283: Seize The Time
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Li had done quite a fair amount of research on Divine-Smith-level magic. Although he hadn’t really reached the realm of the Divine Smith yet, it was actually still within his reach. Hence, Lin Li didn’t have a hard time trying to read the Immortal King’s notes. Besides, he also got the answers to many of the questions that he came up with in the past.
While Lin Li was carefully reading the notes, Bradlor paced back and forth anxiously at the side. From time to time, he would turn his head to look at Lin Li, hesitant to speak. He didn’t know to what extent things had developed outside, but Lin Li didn’t seem to have made much progress, either. It was an arduous and torturous night for Bradlor.
Some time later, Bradlor had already lost count of how many rounds he had walked. When he turned around this time, he finally saw Lin Li looking away from a thin book with notes. Taking this opportunity, he hurriedly walked up, and anxiously asked, “President Felic, how is it? Are there any clues!?”
Lin Li took a deep breath and exhaled as he closed the notebook in his hand before saying to Bradlor, “Alright, Your Majesty, I’ve already thought of a way to deal with that demon, but my strength and efforts alone are far from sufficient. When we go there later, everyone has to abide by my arrangements and buy enough time for me.. Otherwise, you may find someone else to help you.”
“No problem, President Felic, please rest a.s.sured that I’ll do my best to convince the Illuminati and the other forces to obey your instructions. I believe that they won’t refuse. After all, once this demon breaks free from the seal, it will not be beneficial to any of them,” Bradlor said, nodding profusely as he quickly agreed to Lin Li’s request.
“Alright, let’s head there now then.” After saying that, Lin Li put away the Immortal King’s notes, and brought Bradlor outside, where others waited. At the same time, he once again reached his hand out to open a spatial rift in the air.
Through Lin Li’s spatial rift, the group returned to the observatory deck in the Hopra Square. At this moment, the battle in the square had also reached an intense climax where two of the Gilded Kingdom’s Giant Divine Soldiers had already fallen on the ground, while the Sanctuary powerhouses who were surrounding the great demon deity, Mosari, all seemed extremely disheveled and wretched.
Although Lin Li and the others had only been away for a short while, Mosari’s strength and dominance had already risen again by a significant margin. When Lin Li left, he temporarily suppressed Mosari’s power using a mageweath, but now the mageweath had clearly lost its effect.
At this moment, Mosari’s feet were already on top of the crater, and there were only some vague and faint mana chains coiled around his thick and strong legs. However, in almost every blink of an eye, a few of the mana chains would break, and it was basically impossible to drag Mosari back again.
Seeing the situation in the square, Bradlor did not dare to delay for a single moment as he hurriedly yelled at the crowd, “President Felic has found a solution to deal with this. Everyone, please listen to President Felic’s arrangements from now onwards. Only then can we seal this demon again!”
If it had been in the past, everyone would have definitely thought that Bradlor was insane for saying those words. However, prior to this, the Octopus Clan had managed to easily suppress Wild Whale Rabu using the Mount Tai mageweath. Since then, Lin Li the Guru of Inscription, became a household name in the Endless Ocean.
Before Bradlor even said anything, everyone had already seen Lin Li as the key to making it through this crisis.
Besides, the people from the Gilded Kingdom would naturally adhere to Bradlor’s orders, and follow Lin Li’s arrangements. Not to mention the Illuminati, even the two overlord clans, the Siren Clan and the Octopus Clan, had absolute trust in Lin Li, which seemed unfathomable to the others. The four major forces were all willing to follow Lin Li’s arrangements, so the other forces naturally didn’t have anything else to say.
Lin Li didn’t stand on ceremony, either, as he immediately took charge, and gave everyone instructions loudly. The remaining Giant Divine Soldiers of the Gilded Kingdom were still the main force that was besieging Mosari, but under Lin Li’s arrangement, a few Sanctuary powerhouses switched roles and started providing support to aid the Giant Divine Soldiers in resisting Mosari’s counterattacks.
Although the Giant Divine Soldiers’ attacks were extremely powerful, their defensive abilities were clearly too weak compared to Sanctuary Masters. That was also the reason that two of the Giant Divine Soldiers had been destroyed by Mosari within such a short period of time. If they continued going toe-to-toe against Mosari mindlessly, the Giant Divine Soldiers would probably all be wiped out in the next moment.
Hegel, the Great Monarch of the Octopus Clan, began focusing on using an auxiliary mageweath under Lin Li’s instructions. His eight magic arms swayed and swung in the void to create a complicated mageweath out of thin air. At the same time, each and every person began to be shrouded in light.
Under Lin Li’s arrangement, the entire battlefield immediately became much more orderly than before, and unlike previously, they were no longer heavily suppressed by Mosari. In fact, prior to this, they had thought about cooperating with each other, but they were all figures of remarkable ident.i.ties and status. None of them was willing to submit and take orders from anyone, so it wasn’t easy for them to cooperate.
Seeing that the situation had been stabilized for the time being, Lin Li didn’t tarry any longer, and raised the Helios’ Scepter in his hand. Using it as an inscription pen, he began to draw several patterns formed with mana in the air.
The gemstone at the top of the Helios’ Scepter was s.h.i.+ning as brightly as ever, as if it were the tip of a crystal inscription pen. As the gemstone swung through the sky, it left several rays of light in the sky like the latter was paper. The light did not weaken in the slightest, and with the appearance of each ray of light, a tremor would occur in s.p.a.ce, and a powerful mana fluctuation would gradually be emitted by the light.
Seemingly sensing Lin Li’s threat, the great demon deity, Mosari, suddenly roared into the sky, while a sea of magic flames surged beside him. They were magic flames of destruction that would turn everything in the world into ashes. Perhaps even the sun, moon, and stars could never withstand the burning of the magic flames.
One of the Giant Divine Soldiers didn’t retreat in time, and was struck by the magic flames that emerged, after which its rock-like body immediately caught on fire. The black flames quickly spread up and down the Giant Divine Soldier’s body, and in the blink of an eye, they engulfed the Giant Divine Soldier that was more than 100 meters tall. Immediately afterwards, the giant humanoid torch collapsed, turning into black ashes that scattered all over the ground.
Fortunately, the Sanctuary powerhouses in the surroundings reacted much faster than the Giant Divine Soldier, and Mosari had obviously recovered only a portion of his power. Hence, they managed to barely escape death.
Elder Zumar waved his staff, and a huge wave gushed out of the void before surging towards Mosari. However, as soon as the wave touched the sea of magic flames, it was lit like oil. Besides, the magic flames seemed to be urging upwards and towards Elder Zumar.
At this moment, a mageweath emerged from the void in a flash, intercepting the front of the magic flame, and severing the connection between the giant wave and Elder Zumar. Elder Zumar hurriedly took the opportunity to fly backwards. Even though he didn’t divide his attention to take a look, he knew that Hegel’s mageweath had saved his life.
Immediately afterwards, a figure taller than the body of the great demon deity Mosari appeared in the void in an instant. It had four faces and eight arms, and it was the statue of chaos that Saint Edmund had summoned. The eight arms were either casting magic spells or wielding weapons to bombard Mosari in a frenzy.
Prince Cleve of the Siren Clan was standing in the periphery of the battlefield, and slowly drew his longbow, after which he placed seven arrows that were condensed using Combat Energy on the bow. While Saint Edmund’s statue of chaos appeared, Prince Cleve took the opportunity to pull the bowstring, and the seven arrows shot at various fatal spots on the demon’s body.
Although the Sanctuary powerhouses of other forces were forced into retreat by the magic flames, they soon started surrounding Mosari to besiege him again. Fortunately, the sea of magic flames was still bound by the seal. Otherwise, if Mosari were to unfold the boundless magic flames, the Sanctuary powerhouses wouldn’t be able to get close at all, let alone launch any effective attack.
Seeing that the battle in the square was getting more and more dangerous, Bradlor and others were so nervous that their hearts were about to jump out of their chests. However, no matter how anxious they were, none of them dared to ask Lin Li a single question. Even though they didn’t know much about mageweaths, they knew that they couldn’t disturb Lin Li when they saw the large and complicated mageweath hovering in the air in front of Lin Li.
The great demon deity Mosari suddenly let out a groundbreaking roar; at the same time, he stomped on the crater violently, causing many of the magical chains that were originally wrapped around his legs to be broken.
As more than half of the seal was broken, the magic flames on Mosari’s body became even more intense as they started raging, while sanguine thunderbolts continuously descended from the sky. At this moment, be it the Giant Divine Soldiers or the Sanctuary powerhouses of the various forces, they could barely retaliate. All they could do was to fight with all their might to resist the attack of the magic flame and sanguine thunderbolts.
On the other hand, when Bradlor and the others saw the new development, they couldn’t help but feel hopeless. They could completely imagine how effortless it would be for Mosari to destroy the Gilded Kingdom with his terrifying power once he broke free.
At this moment, Lin Li suddenly stopped, while the huge mageweath in front of him began to slowly rotate like a millstone. At the same time, each magic symbol of each mageweath began s.h.i.+ning brightly. The light almost enveloped everything around them, as if a sun was rising right in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Li pointed the Helios’ Scepter that he was holding at the great demon deity Mosari, and the gigantic rotating mageweath immediately charged towards Mosari oppressively.
