Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

by Zhuang Bifan

The situation was no longer optimistic, and his Humerus Wyrms had already been scarred and wounded. Ujfalusi's Tide of Death had also reached its last moments. Although the Skeletal Warriors were still emerging continuously, the powerful Vampires and Liches were appearing less often. Norfeller looked just as disheveled. Vampires were not good at direct confrontations, but he did not have a choice at all. He could only rely on his level-21 power to go toe to toe against the dragon skeletons.

  Lin Li reintroduced Gloomy Dark into his Magical Domain, and increased the control over the Dark Force. Although he could not cut off the Devouring Force completely, it was still Lin Li's Magical Domain, after all. He wouldn't let the Double Death Dragons get their way.

  Next, Lin Li once again f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y extracted the life force of the debris of the stars and introduced it into the Magical Domain. With the injection of this life force, the bodies of Lin Li's Undead servants and the two Humerus Wyrms immediately recovered by half, regaining their battle power as well.

  Even the Undead creatures that Ujfalusi had summoned together with the Tide of Death had been revived. The crushed Skeletal Warriors rose from the ground and slashed the legs and feet of the dragon skeletons with rusty swords. The Skeleton Staff glowed again and Deathfire Bombs were launched. The Vampires moved along the wyrm skeletons at their own speed while making sounds of friction.

  Had there been any onlookers just now, they would have definitely been surprised by the tenacity of the people from the Tower of Dusk, thinking that they would pull through the ordeal. However, only Lin Li knew that Rebirth wouldn't integrate into the Magical Domain, and not only would the forced injection affect the stability of the Magical Domain, it might even lead to the collapse of the Magical Domain.

  While supporting the Magical Domain, it was necessary to control the Devouring Force in this battle, but that had exceeded the ability of a level-21 mage. Although it seemed that the situation had improved for now, the Double Death Dragons had yet to join in, and Lin Li had merely managed to buy some time. The price of doing so was the severe overuse of Lin Li's mental strength.

  "Howl!"

  The Double Death Dragons roared in unison, and one of them burst into a black cloud of fog instantly before turning into a green dragon, while the other leaped onto that dragon's back, and they fluttered towards Lin Li.

  Obviously, the Double Death Dragons were angered by Lin Li's behavior. No one would be able to keep calm after their benefits got stolen. Although the Double Death Dragons could turn into human form and cast magic, their animalistic nature would never change. For some reason, the Double Death Dragons could not endure after seeing the invaders.

  Although Lin Li was rather far from the Double Death Dragons when he took out Gloomy Dark from his Magical Domain, they could clearly tell that the aura they liked came from the unknown object. Since they were displeased, they might as well get rid of the invaders and snatch the item. By then, they would get to enjoy it without hindrances.

  Despite being in a desperate situation, Lin Li still got a shock when he saw the fiery Double Death Dragons. It could be said that the manipulated dragon skeletons were nothing compared to the Double Death Dragons.

  Chapter 637 - Purification

  Lin Li waved the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and rays of Light of Purification fell from the sky and projected themselves at the Double Death Dragons. Although Holy Light, a piece of the debris of the stars had the ability to exude the Light of Purification, which could destroy all evil, it had no effect on the poison of the Double Death Dragons.

  The Angels of Light and Dark condensed again, and flew silently towards the Double Death Dragons as their large spears radiated eye-catching bright rays of light. However, the 30-odd Angels of Light and Dark could not even make the Double Death Dragons stop for a second, and all they did was make the Double Death Dragons roar.

  The difference in power was too huge, and Lin Li could not even struggle much. Lin Li's retaliation seemed useless, and the scheming tricks that he used to use were weak and ridiculously useless against the Double Death Dragons.

  However, he was not going to give up just like that. Lin Li made up his mind, and the Angels of Light and Dark continuously condensed like moths fighting on fire as they continuously dashed towards the Double Death Dragons. They were hell-bent on inflicting some harm on the Double Death Dragons even if they died.

  The jewels on the top of the Helios' Scepter continuously flashed, and every glisten signified a strong and powerful magic. With every flash, the light would become dimmer. Although Lin Li felt distressed, what else could he do? As long as he could escape today, it would be worthwhile, even if it meant that the Helios' Scepter had to break.

  All of a sudden, the entire graveyard was filled with Death aura, and a huge vortex opened in front of the Double Death Dragons. Countless skeletons of humans and magical beasts surged out of the middle of the vortex, and the deafening and shrilling howls filled the entire graveyard. They then swarmed towards Lin Li.

  "The Rune Of Death!"

  Looking at the oncoming legendary Necromagic, Lin Li waved his staff, and an ice wall fused with the Holy Light was instantly erected.

  The ice wall shattered with a loud explosive sound that filled the air. However, the countless skeletons seemed to break through the ice walls.

  Lin Li again whipped out the new piece of the debris of the stars, Rebirth, and put up a defensive layer in front of himself.

  As the roars continuously sounded, Lin Li slowly retreated backwards. The Death Energy contained Life Laws, and the power of the Laws of the earth system was known for its powerful defense against the elements fire, water, and wind. Therefore, under the powerful attack of the legendary Necromagic spell Death Rune, Lin Li continuously retreated, but he still managed to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y support himself.

  Lin Li was shot far, far away, and the Double Death Dragons flew over the heads of Ujfalusi and Norfeller in their pursuit for Lin Li. However, they did not pay attention to what was going on below. In the eyes of the Double Death Dragons, only the powerful object was worth paying attention to, and what they wanted to do was to kill the intruder and snatch the object.

  Ujfalusi, Norfeller, and the two Humerus Wyrms had already been surrounded by the animated dragon skeletons. Hence, they could only watch the Double Death Dragons fly over their heads without being able to stop them. Of course, with their current power, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything even if they were to rush forth.

  Lin Li finally stopped retreating, not because of the explosion of power, but because he had already reached the wall of the cavern, and even made a huge indent in it. He was almost buried.

  Staring at the Double Death Dragons that were approaching him, Lin Li broke apart the rubble around his body and stood up. The dimmed gemstone on the top of the Helios' Scepter once again radiated a dazzling ray of light that caused the magic in the entire Magical Domain to surge. Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, the two pieces of the debris of the stars, appeared beside Lin Li, giving off a destructive aura with Lin Li's activation.

  The Double Death Dragons stopped and turned into humans again, seemingly having sensed the energy and power coming from Lin Li's side. The two identical Dracoliches also appeared solemn.

  The two Dracoliches raised their arms at the same time and moved in unison. As they moved, the strong energy slowly rose too.

  It was because he survived the rune's attack that he managed to gain the respect of the two of them. In fact, they did not wish to wait any longer. Lin Li smiled wryly, and thought to himself, Seems like the Double Death Dragons are ready to kill me now.

  Despite seeing that the Double Death Dragons were going to launch a quick and powerful attack against him, Lin Li did not take the lead to interrupt them, and instead continued to use his mental strength to activate the power of the debris of the stars. He then instilled all of his mana into the Helios' Scepter with no regards for his own life or safety.

  Battling the Double Death Dra
gons with magic? Lin Li was deep in despair, but his brains were not fried, so he knew better than that.

  In fact, it took only two or three seconds for the Double Death Dragons to cast spells. A strong, destructive mana suddenly emerged from the two Dracoliches.

  Lin Li couldn't name the magic used by the Double Death Dragons, but it seemed to be a mixture of Necromagic and dragon language magic. The magical wave had also exceeded level-22, and seemed powerful enough to destroy the sky. In fact, it was truly lethal, and a crack formed in front of the Double Death Dragons before darting towards Lin Li.

  Many powerhouses had the ability to break through space. Even those of the Sanctuary-realm could do so and enter the chaos of time and space. However, Lin Li had never heard of anyone using the cracks between time and space to deal with one's enemies. Although he had never heard of it, he could tell that even if the new force erupted again, it couldn't escape the fate of being torn in two by the crack.

  Despite having been startled by the magic of the Double Death Dragons, Lin Li didn't forget to retaliate. He simply chose to retrieve the Titan Dragon Spear from the Ring of Endless Storm first.

  With the death of the Titan, the power in the Titan Dragon Spear had also gone into hibernation. It could also be said to have died because it had already lost its soul, and Lin Li could not awaken it at all with his current power, not even if coupled with Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. Lin Li had thought of using a piece of the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, to awaken the Titan Dragon Spear. However, if he had Thunderbolt, it wouldn't matter even if the Titan Dragon Spear didn't awaken.

  Hence, to Lin Li, the Titan Dragon Spear had already lost its value as a weapon, and all he cared about was the material of the Titan Dragon Spear and the power it contained. However, the Titan Dragon Spear was the only thing that was durable enough to withstand the power of the crack.

  Immediately after the appearance of the majestic Titan Dragon Spear, Lin Li grasped it and threw it at the crack, which was followed by Holy Light, Gloomy Dark, and magic that had been acc.u.mulating in the Helios' Scepter. The target of the three huge forces was not the Double Death Dragons, but the Titan Dragon Spear.

  "BOOM!"

  After the groundbreaking noise filled the air, Lin Li's body slammed into the wall with a lot of force, and the cracks rapidly extended.

  He'd been waiting for this chance! Lin Li had wanted to make the Double Death Dragons join the battle. Otherwise, if the Dracoliches were to rely on the Poison and Death Domains, as well as the 20-odd wyrm skeletons, without entering the battle directly, it would only have been a matter of time before Lin Li's team got destroyed without an opportunity to counterattack, let alone break out of the tricky situation.

  Since his own powers coupled with Holy Light and Gloomy Dark were not enough to launch the Titan Dragon Spear, how would things change if the Double Death Dragons joined in? Lin Li already saw the result. Four powerful forces bombarded the Titan Dragon Spear at the same time, but although the Titan Dragon Spear cracked, it did not immediately become fragmented. However, a thunderbolt darted out of the crack all of a sudden and shot at the Double Death Dragons without hesitation, seemingly having been attracted by the wyrms' aura.

  It was a thunderbolt that had once broken the ground, and had been incorporated into the Titan's consciousness. It had also been stained with the blood of many ancient wyrms that it'd destroyed.

  The Double Death Dragons had no time to respond at all; they seemed to have been shocked by the terrifying aura given off by Thunderbolt. Suddenly, the thunderbolt blasted the indestructible Poison and Death Domains, and ruthlessly invaded the bodies of the Double Death Dragons to destroy them.

  For the first time, the Double Death Dragons wailed in agony, but regardless of how they struggled and shapeshifted, they could not stop the thunderbolt from destroying their bodies.

  Lin Li wiped the blood off of the corners of his lips and flew away from the wall. He then grabbed Holy Light and injected mental strength into it. Holy Light suddenly shone and engulfed Lin Li like a sun that had descended onto the dragon graveyard.

  The power of Holy Light engulfed the Double Death Dragons, and the howling gradually became weaker, until they vanished completely. The skeletons surrounding Ujfalusi also crumbled, and silence was restored.

  The light of Holy Light slowly converged, and Lin Li slowly landed on the ground with no trace of joy on his face. He staggered forwards for a while before regaining his balance. He quickly took out a few healing potions and poured them into his mouth like he was drinking water.

  Lin Li heaved a long sigh after sensing that his wounds were slowly recovering. Staring at his Undead servants, he said, "Take them now!"

  Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Ujfalusi and Norfeller finally heaved sighs of relief too. Recalling the battle just now, they could not help but feel a little bit nervous even though they were Undead creatures.

  Chapter 638 - Imprint

  The two Undead servants and the two Humerus Wyrms searched the green dragon graveyard all over. In fact, there was no need for them to put in too much effort, because the battle had already turned everything in the graveyard inside out, especially the wyrm skeletons that had acc.u.mulated there.

  As a pharmaceutics Guru, Lin Li possessed Master-level Recovery Potions which helped his body recover greatly. He no longer had any worries. He'd initially planned to enter and steal, but it ended up becoming an armed robbery. Since he had already killed all the owners of the graveyard, the remaining items were for him to keep.

  Although there were numerous cracks in the Titan Dragon Spear, Lin Li could sense the massive energy in it, and the thunderbolt that took out the Double Death Dragons was nothing compared to it. Lin Li couldn't help but cluck his tongue. It was no wonder that the Titan Dragon Spear was the weapon of the Titans. It could effortlessly kill the Double Death Dragons in no time.

  After withdrawing the Titan Dragon Spear from the Ring of Endless Storm, Lin Li again summoned Gloomy Dark that had been blasted away just now. However, when Gloomy Dark returned, it gave Lin Li a great shock, not because it was damaged, but because there were actually two more black beads that resembled satellites constantly revolving around it.

  "What is this?" Lin Li grabbed Gloomy Dark. As soon as he did, he could sense the aura of the Double Death Dragons coming from the pearls.

  Could that be the imprint of the Double Death Dragons? Lin Li did know some things about the imprinting of souls. After being transformed into a Lich, human beings would keep their soul imprint in the Life Case so that they could be born again with the soul imprint even if they died. Therefore, most people would not dare to provoke them unless they could find and destroy their Life Case. Otherwise, they would be in deep trouble because they would have to face the revenge of the Lich. However, if one could find the Life Case of a Lich, he would be able to subdue the Lich, regardless of how powerful it might be.

  However, Dracoliches were different from human Liches. Wyrms used dragon crystals as their source of power, and lost the ability to use dragon crystals after transforming into Dracoliches. Their soul imprint then became their source of strength. Therefore, the Dracolich's soul imprint would not be hidden in the Life Case, but would replace the position of dragon crystal in the Dracolich's body.

  In other words, the two satellite-like black beads of light revolving around Gloomy Dark were previously the source of power for the Double Death Dragons. However, under the purification of the Holy Light, the power in these two soul imprints had obviously disappeared. Although there was no more power, they were still revolving around Gloomy Dark, perhaps because they were driven by a trace of instinct left.

  However, for Lin Li, that was not something to be happy about. Although the Double Death Dragons were powerful, the two purified black beads were no longer of any use. Not only was there no trace of power in them, they were continuously leeching off and depleting the energy within Gloomy Dark. The two were basically just parasites, and
Lin Li had never liked incurring a loss.

  After thinking for a moment, Lin Li let out some mana and got ready to completely erase the soul imprints of the Double Death Dragons. However, with the input of that minute amount of mana, Lin Li suddenly found that there was a slight resistance from those two black beads.

  Although the resistance was faint and seemed to be easily erasable, Lin Li was still surprised.

  It was completely different from what he had guessed! Lin Li withdrew his mana and looked at the two black beads with a slight frown. Although the resistance was insignificant, it meant that there was still the consciousness of the Double Death Dragons within the black beads. Could it be that the Double Death Dragons did not completely die after being purified by the Holy Light, and instead continued to live in another form?

  With the experience Lin Li had obtained in the Endless World, he dared say that he was knowledgeable, but the situation was truly beyond fathomable for him now. Even though he did not have a detailed understanding of Undead creatures, he knew that Dracoliches were Undead creatures. Holy Light, one of the pieces of the debris of the stars, no doubt contained the nomological power of Light and the ability to purify all evil beings.

  Although the Holy Light could not exert all its power when Lin Li was controlling it, the Double Death Dragons had also been seriously injured by the thunderbolt in the Titan Dragon Spear. Judging from the results, Lin Li could deduce that they had indeed been purified by the Holy Light. Otherwise, how could they have become two black beads? Lin Li thought about it, but couldn't understand why the two soul imprints left behind by the Double Death Dragons would become such peculiar existences.

  Could it be that the Double Death Dragons were not considered Undead creatures?

  Lin Li suddenly came up with an idea which even he was taken aback by. It was undoubtedly a very ridiculous idea. However, apart from this absurd and ridiculous explanation, Lin Li couldn't think of anything else to accredit the phenomenon to.
