Chapter 144: Tamed

The brilliant light the Winter Staff emitted tore through the darkness in an instant; countless magical elements stirred, creating a terrifying vortex of elements in the Shadowglen. The sky was filled with snowflakes and screeching ice shards. It was as if heaven and earth had turned white at this moment. Amidst the waves of deafening blasts, the ice particles violently stirred like a tornado, and mercilessly struck the blood-red bat that was in the air…

“Argh…” There was only an awful scream before they saw a large piece of ice plummeting down from the sky and crashing into the ground…

Not even a Vampire could defend against the might of a level-12 spell. Even though they could not completely annihilate this level-18 undead creature, but the Iceblast contained a powerful frost, causing it to be frozen instantly.

This was not the first time Lin Li had used a spell that was level-12 and above. Even though it was within his capabilities, he still felt somewhat exhausted. It was hard to control the mana of Iceblast, and he would suffer from the bite of mana if he were to be careless. After casting Iceblast, Lin Li felt like he was completely drained of energy. The Winter Staff fell on the ground, and he collapsed on top of it.

Lin Li knew that the Vampire was a level-18 Undead Creature, so even Iceblast would not be able to keep it frozen for too long. It could be two or three seconds. Of course… it could even be but one second.

But this was sufficient.

Just when the lump of ice had fallen, a red shadow had already torn through the Obscurus Spell.

At this moment, time seemed to have stood still. The clopping hooves were like droplets of rain, echoing in the hearts of everyone. The searing flames were blazing, and the unbreakable horn started to emit frost under the moonlight. The crimson shade in the night sky gave off a sense of emptiness….

It was coming closer. From a hundred metres to fifty metres, and then from fifty metres to five metres…

And then, there was a rattle that was like glass shattering with a touch of hoarseness.

Initially, the voice was soft, but as the cracks on the ice started to grow, the sound was ringing in everybody’s ears. At the end there was a “boom”, and the ice totally shattered. Within the scattering ice, the drops of solidified blood were unusually vibrant. The moonlight radiated the countless pieces of fine ice bits that had been scattered.

All of sudden, everything became quiet. Other than the blowing of cold wind, nothing else could be heard.

Everyone just stared blankly at this sight. It felt as if it was just a dream. A battle between a level-18 Vampire and Level-18 Shapeshifter, including that level-12 Iceblast…

After a period of time, Mason asked in an uncertain voice, “It’s dead?”

“That’s right…” Orrin’s voice was slightly shaky.

Lin Li kept quiet. He only bent down, and picked up the crystal on the floor.

“Eh?” Lin Li had only just picked up the crystal, and he realized something was wrong. The crystal was still covered in strange inscriptions, but that crimson color had suddenly disappeared. The crystal that was in his hands was just like how it was when he first dug it out. There were no colors on it. It was just clear and transparent, just like the clear water of a lake.

Just as Lin Li was feeling confused, Mason’s face had suddenly turned white. Both his eyes stared straight behind Lin Li, and he looked like he had just seen a ghost. “Felic, Felic… Quickly look!”

“What’s up…”

Lin Li turned his head to look while still being confused, and saw the Shapeshifter walking towards him. Just when he turned his head, the Shapeshifter had also stopped moving, and then… it slightly lowered its head!

“Damn!”

Even a transmigrator like Lin Li knew what it meant when a magical beast lowered its head at you…

It was total submission!

Lin Li rubbed his eyes; he thought he was hallucinating. It was a level-18 beast. How could it be tamed by a level-13 magic shooter?

Magical beasts could indeed be tamed, but the requirements for taming were extremely demanding. To tame a magical beast like a Shapeshifter, it might not even be possible for Andoine. It required total superiority in strength, absolute suppression with levels, and even other tricky requirements.

As for himself…

Both sides had a difference of five levels, so how could he have made a level-18 Shapeshifter submit to him?

And yet, everything in front of him was real. No matter how Lin Li rubbed his eyes, that level-18 shapeshifter was still lowering its head about ten metres away, neighing from time to time. It was still showing signs of being tamed and friendly. It did not look like a level-17 magical beast, but like a stallion in reins.

“This can’t be real…” Mason’s eyes were as big as a cow’s, and he stared at the Shapeshifter in bewilderment. “Felic, did you raise this Shapeshifter?”

“How could I afford to raise it…”

“Too wicked…” Mason’s mind had always been different from the others, and he gasped in admiration a few times before suddenly asking, “How about lending me to ride it for a few days? Hahaha. If I could ride that Shapeshifter around Alanna, that would really be… Wahahaha!”

“Idiot.”

“F*ck, Orrin! I haven’t settled the score with you yet, and you provoke me again!”

“Not happy?”

While the two of them were arguing, Lin Li realized that the ethereal body of the Shapeshifter started to become transparent. The changes were not obvious, but it was still vivid. After each passing second, the crimson body of the Shapeshifter slowly became dull until it became totally transparent just like the crystal in Lin Li’s hand.

And then Lin Li saw that the Shapeshifter that was lowering its head suddenly became glitters of light. At the same time of releasing that brilliant light, the glitters were absorbed by a type of energy, forming a stream of light in the night sky. It seeped into the crystal just like the black fog during the day…

Lin Li could clearly see the crystal starting becoming more crimson in color as the glitters started to seep in. When the last bit of light had disappeared, the crystal in his hand returned to the state it was in when he’d just entered the Shadowglen.

With this sequence of events, Lin Li started to figure things out…

The crystal in his hand was not an ordinary crystal.

Lin Li could almost confirm that this crystal that was full of inscriptions harnessed a potent power. This power was strong enough to seal or trap a Shapeshifter. That night in the Nightmare Mountains, when the Shapeshifter bumped into him, it had to have triggered this power and got sealed inside the crystal instantly.

In fact, Lin Li had always guessed that it was this what had happened. Hence, he used the word “eaten” to describe the situation back then.

The battle from before had further confirmed Lin Li’s conjecture. The appearance and disappearance of the Shapeshifter from the crystal had proven everything.

And yet, this conjecture raised more questions…

Lin Li could not understand why the fallen undead creatures turned into a thick black fog and seeped into the crystal. What was even more confusing was: why did the Shapeshifter coincidentally appear just now? Lin Li could only instinctively guess that these were all related.

As for what was the relation, Lin Li was clueless. He could only faintly guess that the black fog was the essence of the undead creatures…

“I will figure you out!” Lin Li held the crystal firmly and scolded it fiercely.

The powerful crystal made Lin Li really excited.

Instantly sealing a level-18 beast and being able to summon it when needed for battle. Such power could drive a person mad just from thinking about it.

Furthermore, the power it had just displayed was merely the tip of the iceberg. Nobody knew what was the limit of this crystal. If it could seal a level-18 magical beast, what about level-19, 20, or even more?

All these guesses started to permeate Lin Li mind all the time. No matter how much he researched, he could not understand how to utilize this power. As a person that liked to split hairs, it was an unbearable torture for Lin Li.

Lin Li gripped the crystal, and pondered for about half an hour…

Ever since the Shapeshifter appeared, the searing temperature on the crystal had seemingly disappeared. It was cool when he held it now. It was unlike the previous time when he held it, when there was a burning sensation. No matter how hard he pondered, he still came to a dead end. He put the crystal pack into his pocket in frustration, hoping that he would discover something new during the upcoming missions…
