Chapter 405: Frost Dragon Gun

Almost at the same time the icy blue flames fell on him, Adelo felt his body become light as though he was rammed by a running horse, and his body felt like it was shattering into pieces. Adelo saw black before his eyes, and a gush of blood rushed out from his throat…

Before he could even throw up the blood from the impact, Adelo felt himself flying far away like a kite with broken strings.

It was quite a fall indeed, having been from a height of at least 17 meters. Even if it were a hardy high-ranking Warrior in his place, he would not have fared much better, much less a physically weak mage like Adelo. Adelo felt his head spin from the fall, and saw lights dance before his eyes as though the world was spinning around him.

When Adelo came back to his senses, the huge shadow in the sky was long gone. There were only ice shards lying on the ground as well as a crater of at least 10 meters it left behind…

“…” Adelo’s mouth was wide open, but he could not make a sound. All of this was too overwhelming. If the ice flame had fallen on him instead, he would have been dead by now even if he was 10 times stronger than he was…

Standing not far away from the crater was the young mage holding a magic staff. There was a light magical wave circling around him, and the crystal embedded on the top of his magic staff was glowing brightly.

Adelo was an experienced Archmage, after all, so even though he had just suffered a huge fall, he was still able to guess what had happened after seeing all of this. There was no doubt that he had the young mage to thank for the fall, but Lin Li’s intention was not to hurt him—rather, it was to save him from the ice flame…

Adelo was well aware that that was the best method to use in the situation earlier.

The ice flame came at them too quickly for anybody to react to it, and even an Archmage like him would not have been able to conjure up a shield when the ice flame fell upon them. The only thing he could do was hope that someone from the advance party would save him. Thankfully, the young mage had done just that—he had used Power of Repulse to save him from the ice flame.

When Adelo thought about what circumstances the Power of Repulse had been conjured up in, he could not help breaking into cold sweat. This was all too strange…

How was Lin Li able to hit him with the Power of Repulse in such circumstances? Was this Felic still human? Adelo did not dare imagine what kind of mentality and reflex was needed to achieve such a feat, much less casting magic at such a speed!

How was Lin Li able to think of hitting him with the Power of Repulse in the face of this Humerus Wyrm? How did he finish the elemental sequencing as well as mana release all in a fraction of a second? That was far beyond what a human should be capable of! If Adelo really had to describe this feat, he could think of no better word than “miraculous”…

Adelo had lost track of the number of times the word “miraculous” had come to mind after meeting Lin Li.

And yet, Adelo would have never thought that this young mage who seemed to keep creating miracles in his eyes was now complaining as he stared at the disappearing figure of the Humerus Wyrm.

Damn it, why am I so unlucky…? Lin Li held the Aether Staff as he stared at the figure in the sky as he cursed at it in his mind.

This was all because the Warlock’s Eyes had captured a tiny detail when the Humerus Wyrm swooped down from the sky…

There was a slender figure on the back of the Humerus Wyrm!

Even an idiot would know that it meant they were in huge trouble…

How mediocre could this person be if they rode a Humerus Wyrm? Ujfalusi had looked so powerful back in Syer Town, but that was all because he managed to combine a sliver of soul fire many years ago, allowing him to somehow summon a Humerus Wyrm…

While a Humerus Wyrm was not a true Wyrm, it was given life by a true Wyrm magical crystal. The ways of a Wyrm were infused into its soul fire. How could a Dragon which had fought the Titans and ruled the sky at one point, being the most powerful creature in Anril, allow just anyone to ride on its back?

All of the ones in the history of Anril who were able to ride a Wyrm were great men of their era, and many of them were still praised in folk songs today. The most well known of them was the Night Dragon Knight, who had fought alongside Geresco during the Dark Ages.

Lin Li finally understood why Cheyenne lost so badly in the Scar of Death even though he was very powerful.

This was incredibly normal—who else could say they would be able to go against a Humerus Wyrm and its rider unless they were as insanely powerful as Apophis?

That was akin to going against two Legendary beings alone! Cheyenne was lucky enough to merely be severely injured. If he was slightly unlucky, he would have lost his life instead.

Unfortunately, it was now too late for regrets. Lin Li could clearly see that when he had frozen in his spot, the Humerus Wyrm had made a turn in the air, and the bone-chilling cold as well as the stench of decay was now approaching them. The slender guy on the back of the Humerus Wyrm had also stood up. Lin Li saw that he was wearing a black cloak, and was holding a long and thin magic staff. When he stood up on the back of the Humerus Wyrm, a strong magical wave suffused with death aura filled their surrounding…

“Another Lich…” Lin Li felt his heart clench as he could feel that this Lich was way more powerful than Ujfalusi.

Besides Lin Li, Ujfalusi and Norfeller had also felt the strong magical wave. Ujfalusi was especially sensitive to this magical wave filled with death aura as he had once been a Lich. Just as the Humerus Wyrm let out a long growl, Ujfalusi’s face became pale with fear.

“Master—” Ujfalusi opened his mouth, wanting to tell this the owner of their Soul Contract.

“Yeah, Ujfalusi…” Without waiting for the ex-Lich to speak, Lin Li cut him off as he knew what he was about to say. “You don’t have to tell me, I know that he’s a Lich. Damn it, we’re really in trouble, these bloody High Elven nobles really had nothing better to do, coming up with this damned place and these two freaks…”

Lin Li cursed angrily as he took out the Holy Light from the Ring of Endless Storm…

However, once Lin Li did so, he could not make up his mind whether to channel mana into it, as this place was far too near the Gloomy Dark. If he activated the Divine Power in the Holy Light, there was a high chance that he might wake the Gloomy Dark as well. When the two forces of Light and Dark collided, it’d instantly bring disaster. By then, the whole advance party would be buried in the collapsed cave without needing these two freaks to do anything…

But if he didn’t…

Instant death was probably a better idea than having the dozen of people here fight a Humerus Wyrm and a Lich…

It was a dead end both ways. Lin Li felt his head ache at the thought.

The worst thing was that the Humerus Wyrm in the air did not intend to give him any time to ponder any further, as it spat another gust of ice flame at them just as he was speaking to Ujfalusi..

“Damn it, you’ve got guts!” The burst of ice flame came at them too suddenly, and Lin Li did not have time to react. Hence, he could only put up an ice wall hurriedly while he cursed at the Humerus Wyrm in a frenzy.

But it was merely a level-15 Ice Wall Spell, and could not withstand the ice flame of the Humerus Wyrm at all. A second later, they could see the ice blue flame explode, followed by a crunching sound as many cracks appeared in the ice wall. Before anyone could comprehend what was going on, the thick wall of ice fell down with a loud boom…

Thankfully, all of this had been within Lin Li’s expectations. After he’d conjured up the ice wall, he continued to chant, and the Dragon’s Eye atop his magic staff glowed brightly as walls of ice sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

In a short period of time, Lin Li had conjured up seven walls of ice. The Humerus Wyrm’s ice flame destroyed them in an equally short amount of time, and the ground was soon covered in pieces of shattered ice as the whole place became a mess even though it’d been spotless just moments ago.

But, they did block off the ice flames at last…

“Norfeller, Gravity Spell!” After saying that, Lin Li raised his head and chugged a bottle of Multicolored Potion.

“Yes!” Vampires were naturally gifted in Dark Magic, and high-ranking Vampires like Norfeller were especially talented at the Gravity Spell. As Norfeller started chanting in a deep and husky voice, a black light appeared around the Humerus Wyrm, and its flying speed decreased…

How could a Humerus Wyrm with a Wyrm magical crystal be tied down by a Gravity Spell? With a long growl, the large wings spread out in the sky, and a strong wind started blowing. Everyone felt a bone-chilling sensation, and the weaker ones on the team like Johnathan and Reggie immediately felt as though their blood was freezing up. Even the stronger ones like the level-17 Warriors had to channel all their Combat Energy to withstand the sudden surge of cold.

Lin Li was the only one who was not fazed by the cold. He’d already started chanting immediately after Norfeller used the Gravity Spell, and when the Humerus Wyrm spread its wings, Lin Li was finished with the last line of the spell. The Dragon’s Eye glowed brightly, and a huge Frost Gun appeared…

“I’ll teach you to spit at me!”

The Frost Dragon Gun 1 sliced through the air with a deafening noise, the projectile flying towards the Humerus Wyrm in the sky…

The Dragon Gun was called so because it was a gun used to slay dragons. The weapons used by the Titans to fight against the Wyrms were called Dragon Guns; the only difference was that the Dragon Guns used by the Titans were forged from lightning, and even a Wyrm would not be able to escape an attack from the Dragon Gun unscathed.

Meanwhile, the Frost Dragon Gun used by Lin Li was created by generations of mages, who had taken inspiration from the only surviving Dragon Gun of the Titans. While it was far less powerful, it was particularly effective when used against large creatures… like the Humerus Wyrm in the sky now.

Even though the Humerus Wyrm was quick to escape its restraints, it was still not quick enough to escape Lin Li’s Frost Dragon Gun, and just as it had spread its wings, the attack was already right before it eyes. In a split second, all they heard was a deafening noise before the meters long Frost Dragon Gun’s attack exploded violently. The large amount of magical elements it contained was released in the explosion, causing an earthquake to occur in the cave.

Even though the Humerus Wyrm’s body was incredibly tough, it still suffered a big injury after being hit by a level-20 magic out of the blue. Shattered pieces of bones fell down like rain, followed by a long, pathetic whimper issued by the Humerus Wyrm. Norfeller’s Gravity Spell could no longer hold down the enraged creature, and the huge figure swept past above their heads as it disappeared into the endless darkness.

The Frost Dragon Gun conjured with the help of the Multicolored Potion had allowed them to fend off the ferocious Humerus Wyrm for now, and they finally managed to catch their breath after having been suffocated by the cold. By then, even the wary high-ranking Warriors were fully convinced that if they wanted this mission to be a success, they could only rely on this young mage…

He was able to fend off the powerful Humerus Wyrm with just a spell. Surely even a Legendary mage was no better than that?

However, Lin Li had no time to celebrate his victory, as he knew very well that even though the Frost Dragon Gun was powerful, it was still not a true Titan Dragon Gun, after all. While he’d managed to injure the Humerus Wyrm earlier, that injury was far from lethal. Moreover, there was Lich far stronger than Ujfalusi standing on the back of the Humerus Wyrm…

He was a true Master of Necromagic. If he was willing, all he had to do was spend some time to make the Humerus Wyrm as powerful as it was in its prime.

The real fight had only just begun…
