Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 731 - The Fire Demon King

Chapter 731: The Fire Demon King

Lin Li waved the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, and dozens of Angels of Light and Dark immediately condensed into the Light and Darkness Sword. The Light and Darkness Sword leaped over the Fire Demon King’s Fire Demon Domain and darted towards the gate, where it instantly killed the Fire Demon that had just climbed out.
However, the beheaded Fire Demon which had just been slain was devoured by its companions in the blink of an eye, after which more Fire Demons dashed forward and frantically ripped apart the gate while roaring. The crazy and violent atmosphere made the humans certain that the descent of the demons would bring a terrible disaster to the world of Anril.
Staring at the scene revealed by the door, even Lin Li and the other Legendary powerhouses could not help but feel a cold chill down their spines. However, under the obstruction of the Fire Demon, none of the four Legendary powerhouses could do anything to stop the tragedy from happening.
While everyone watched, the door of the abyss gradually formed, and a Fire Demon finally roared and rushed out, followed by the second and third one. More and more Fire Demons broke free from the gate, causing everyone to be terrified. Staring at the Fire Demons that were continuously surging out, even the several Legendary powerhouses could not help but feel flustered.
Macklin waved his staff, directing the mages to attack the Fire Demons, and loudly shouted, “Come on, snap out of it. Do you want to wait here for your death!?”
The mages were elite of the elite in the first place. After going all the way through the obstacles along the way, the remaining mages’ combat qualities improved by 10% compared to when they’d first entered the mausoleum. Under the command of Macklin, the mages immediately entered the battle. They seemed to be like an exquisite machine that was operating effectively at high speed.
Bypassing the battle between the Fire Demon and the four Legendary-mages, the mages faced the Fire Demons rushing out of the Gates of the Abyss. The magical defense shone brilliantly under the impact of hot magma, and the overwhelming storm immediately engulfed the Fire Demons that dashed out immediately.
“That’s it, teach them a lesson. Chase them back to their kennels!” Macklin exclaimed while standing in the middle of the mages, continuously issuing commands to the mages. The magic storm them swallowed the Fire Demons one after another.
However, though he seemed to be yelling in a domineering manner, Macklin already knew that it was impossible for him to chase the Fire Demons back to the Abyss with just his own power. Although there had already been several Fire Demons that got killed by the ravenous attacks of the mages, the number was insignificant compared to the number of Fire Demons behind the Gates of the Abyss. The only thing the mages could do now was to slow down the speed of the Fire Demons surging out of the Gates of the Abyss before it was fully open. There seemed to be no effect on the final outcome.
Lin Li and the rest who were besieging the Fire Demon King were stuck in an entanglement with him, and were unable to pull out to block the Gates of the Abyss. Although there had been direct collisions between the Magical Domains during the previous battles, which had weakened the power of the Fire Demon King, the terrifying battle power that was almost at the peak of level-24 was still not to be trifled with.
At this time, the Fire Demon King no longer remained still like before, and instead launched a frightening attack on everyone. Anyone who wanted to flee would be subjected to his full-force deadly attack. It was an existence that was almost in the Sanctuary-realm, and no one there could survive after his fatal blow.
While coping with the brutal attacks of the Fire Demon King in the Volcano Domain, Lin Li watched the changes in the battlefield anxiously. He could see that Macklin was ordering the mages and destroying the Fire Demons that were rushing out of the Gates of the Abyss.
“Damn it, Master Macklin, just ignore the Fire Demons for now. Hurry and close the Gates of the Abyss lest we get devoured by the hundreds of thousands of Fire Demons,” Lin Li yelled in panic. Since no one could take the time out, Macklin and the mages were the only ones who could seal the Gates of the Abyss.
“I know we need to close that damned gate, but you must tell me how to do it first. Not everyone is as pervertedly smart as you are!” The Fire Demons were continuously dashing out of the Gates of the Abyss, making it hard for Macklin and the mages to deal with the situation. He knew that without closing the Gates of the Abyss, all of their efforts would go in vain no matter how many Fire Demons they killed. Wouldn’t that be helping them open the gate?
“Six-pointed Star Array. Destroy the Six-pointed Star Array, and the Gates of the Abyss will dissipate.” Lin Li knew that it would be hard for Macklin to seal the Gates of the Abyss, but he had no other choice but to rely on him now.
Upon hearing Lin Li’s words, Macklin immediately commanded the mages to lean towards the apex of the Six-pointed Star Array. He then yelled, “What’s next!?”
Only then did Lin Li remember that Macklin was only a level-19 Archmage who would have a hard time if he wanted to destroy the Gates of the Abyss leading to the 66th floor of the abyss. His strength alone was a major problem, but fortunately there were other mages to help him. At the thought of this, Lin Li immediately shouted, “The Magic Array. Get the mages to form a Magic Array and concentrate all mana on one person. Give him a huge bombing!”
Lin Li waved the Helios’ Scepter in his hand, and instantly condensed a Light and Darkness Sword, which he then slashed fiercely at the Fire Demon King. Despite the great strength of the Fire Demon King, the latter was forced to retreat under the powerful sword that could even rip apart a Magical Domain.
Seeing that Lin Li’s sword had blasted the Fire Demon King backwards, Andoine immediately understood that Lin Li was trying to buy some time. Hence, he waved his staff, and numerous thorny plants blocked the Fire Demon King from rushing towards Lin Li again.
While Andoine was stopping the Fire Demon King, Lin Li took out the Summoning Lamp and summoned the Lord of Nightmares together with the Crimson Dragon, which he ordered to help the mages block the Fire Demons that were swarming out. As soon as the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon left, the Fire Demon King began ripping apart the plants that were in his way. He then leaped towards Lin Li again.
Fortunately, at this moment, there was only a limited number of Abyssal Demon Dragons rushing out of the Gates of the Abyss, and the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon managed to buy some time for the mages to lay the Magic Array.
To the mages, laying the Magic Array was not a tall order, but it wouldn’t be easy for everyone to concentrate all their mana on a single person. The hundred-odd Archmages’ mana would cause the receiver to be under unimaginable pressure, and once the power exceeded the receiver’s tolerance limit, the receiver’s body would be greatly damaged. He would then be unable to progress in magic again for the rest of his life.
However, at this critical moment, they no longer had a choice. Although Macklin could order the other mages to be the receiver of power, he decided to muster up the courage and volunteer himself instead after the Magic Array was laid.
“Damn it, I’m old, so even if I die, I’ll be content to have experienced the power of being in the Legendary-realm.” Macklin stood on the spot for the receiver and raised his staff high in the sky, giving out the orders without hesitation.
Under Macklin’s orders, the Magic Array began to work. Rays of mana were ejected from the mages’ staffs and flew into Macklin’s thin body. With the immense mana, Macklin’s power also increased at a rapid rate. Level-20, level-21, level-22…
With the accumulation of mana of the hundred-odd Archmages, Macklin’s power reached level-23. The veins on his forehead began to bulge as if they were going to burst anytime soon, and his robe began to make loud noises.
Macklin waved his staff, and several powerful magic attacks were launched on the apex of the Six-pointed Star Array in front of him. However, Macklin was a little dumbfounded after the bombardment began to fade. Under the attacks of Legendary magic, there was still no change in the apex of the Six-pointed Star Array. The red rays of light did not seem to weaken, either.
“Damn it, this thing is too strong. Felic, is there any other solution? I can’t deal with it!” Macklin yelled anxiously at Lin Li. Under the infusion of the mana, he could only persist for one minute, yet he could not even deal with a Six-pointed Star Array now, let alone the rest.
“What the heck is that bastard Osric getting up to!?” Lin Li cussed while trying to cope with the attacks of the Fire Demon King. In his head, he yelled, “Connoris, are you asleep? Hurry and get that Goblin to help us, otherwise we’re all going to die!”
“Okay, okay, got it,” Connoris answered.
The Goblin Angelano who’d escaped far, far away maneuvered the alchemy machine to scurry over. He yelled, “Hey, Felic, I can help you, but you’ll owe me a big favor.”
“Damn it, I refuse to believe that you can outrun this group of Fire Demons with that machine of yours,” Lin Li chided. However, he knew that he did not have much time to say anything now. Hence, he nodded, and exclaimed, “I won’t mind even if I owe you 100 favors!”
Upon hearing Lin Li’s answer, Angelano did not say anything anymore, and immediately ran towards Macklin, pointing at one of the points of the Six-pointed Star Array that Macklin had begun destroying. With Angelano’s instructions, Macklin finally knew what he had to do, and the stardust began to dim.
