Chapter 1258: The Gates Open
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people that Saint Edmund brought this time were all elites of the Chaos Sanctuary who used an extremely special battle formation. Although they seemed to be fighting individually in a chaotic manner, it contained various arcane laws. Although it was inferior to the Magic Net Array of the Tower of Dusk’s team, it allowed the team’s power and strength to be greatly enhanced. Under the impact of the tide-like wave of humanoid worms, the team managed to stay strong like a reef that did not falter regardless of how violently the wind and waves were crashing against it.
At this point, Connoris had already rushed in front of the massive humanoid worm that was as large as a hill. Connoris seemed as small as a bug, while the humanoid worm was like a hill. However, as he struck with a deafening roar, the massive humanoid worm howled, and his massive body slid backwards by a great distance.
Connoris refused to concede, and immediately brandished the Eternal Frost Blade in his hand, after which several silver rays of Space Slash appeared and struck the giant humanoid worm before it could regain its balance.
The humanoid worm lacked agility because of its massive body, so it was dodging very clumsily. The punch that Connoris swung at it threw it off balance; next, it was struck by numerous Space Slashes. It had no choice but to protect itself with its large scythe-like arms. However, the portion of its body that was exposed didn’t seem to have a high level of defense, as it was instantly smashed into bits by the Space Slashes.
However, the juices of its flesh didn’t seep into the desert, and instead started wriggling on the ground, turning into a bunch of smaller humanoid worms. They looked similar to the humanoid worms that were now attacking the two teams. At the same time that the juice turned into humanoid worms, the wounds on the massive body began healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Seeing this, Connoris knew that the hill-like humanoid worm had to be the mother of those humanoid worms.
The mother humanoid worm could give birth to generations of evolved humanoid worms, but it didn’t have the ability to evolve. Otherwise, if it was really the same as the larvae, Connoris probably wouldn’t be able to defeat it easily.
At this moment, the mother of the humanoid worms let out an ear-piercing howl while opening its arms, after which the two rows of large eyes suddenly opened, glaring at Connoris. Afterwards, numerous barrel-thick pillars of light darted out at Connoris and the temple in the distance,
As the giant eyes opened, Connoris immediately sensed a dangerous aura. By the time the light pillars shot over, Connoris immediately got a great fright, and frantically dodged. Connoris’ perfect body was comparable to the ancient wyrms’ physique, and yet he was afraid of touching the giant light pillars. Clearly, the power of the pillars was terrifying.
After Connoris dodged, he immediately began to regret it. The temple was right behind him, and if the light pillars struck the crumbling temple, it would probably turn into ashes immediately. Although the level of Lin Li’s strength was now significant enough to prevent him from getting hurt, his efforts in drawing the mageweath would probably go down the drain.
Fortunately, although Saint Edmund and Elder Zumar hadn’t joined the battle, they had been watching the changes in the situation. When they saw the attack launched by the mother humanoid worm, Elder Zumar didn’t dare to hesitate any longer as he immediately opened his Domain World to shield the crumbling temple.
As soon as Elder Zumar’s Domain World was opened, the pillars of light fell in bombardment, only to hit the barrier of the Domain World. Initially, Elder Zumar thought that the power of the light pillars would probably be the same as that of the Magical Crystal Cannons at best, but he got a great shock when he came into contact with it.
The pillars of light unleashed by the mother humanoid worm might seem similar to the Magical Crystal Cannons, but the Magical Crystal Cannons couldn’t emit power that contained Sanctuary-level power. Each of the pillars of light was as powerful as the full strength of a Sanctuary powerhouse, and they started bombarding Elder Zumar’s Domain World, causing a drastic change in the latter like it was an apocalypse.
Sensing the power of the light pillars, Elder Zumar couldn’t help but be thankful that he had spent all his savings on the Divine Sea Pillar to strengthen his Domain World. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be certain if he could hold up this time. Even so, the barrier of his Domain World was now covered with cracks under the bombardment of several pillars of light. It seemed to be on the verge of falling apart.
Connoris was displeased to see that situation. The enemy that he was initially supposed to deal with ended up bringing such great danger to the team, which made him look rather bad.
“Damned worms!” Connoris cursed furiously. Immediately afterwards, his body began expanding rapidly like it was being inflated with air. In the blink of an eye, his stature, which was originally like that of an average human, expanded to the size of Angelano’s Alchemy Colossus.
Immediately afterwards, Connoris began swinging his large fists at the mother humanoid worm. It wasn’t an illusion nor an expansion spell, but a type of affinity spell of the ancient demon deity, the Body of the Demon Deity. His punch immediately caused the mother humanoid worm to overturn and collapse on the ground. Immediately afterwards, Connoris leaped over and pinned the mother humanoid worm to the ground before punching it to the point it started howling incessantly.
Seeing that Connoris had finally pinned down the mother humanoid worm, Edmund and Zumar were secretly relieved. At the same time, the strength that Connoris showed also made them feel a little surprised. After all, Connoris had yet to even reach the Sanctuary-realm, but he actually managed to suppress the Sanctuary-level mother humanoid worm, which was simply unbelievable.
Of course, Connoris had yet to reach the Sanctuary-level, after all, so although he had gained an upper hand, the two teams soon reached a stalemate. However, even then, the mother humanoid worm didn’t have the energy to do anything else, and merely went toe-to-toe against Connoris.
In the blink of an eye, the Tower of Dusk’s and the Illuminati’s team had already fought the humanoid worms for a few days, in which time the surrounding space had also gradually changed. Apart from the temple where the Ancient God of Light was suppressed, it seemed to be nighttime in the other places as the elements of light that had originally filled the space now gathered in this side of the temple. The only source of Power of Light for the temple was the Ancient God of Light.
That made Edmund and Zumar feel somewhat excited. Clearly, Lin Li had already reached the final moment of the mageweath-drawing process, and might just complete it successfully soon.
At some point, there was a sudden tremor that emitted from the space, and the light that enveloped the entire space suddenly converged, as if it had been sucked by something inside. The light soon reappeared; this time, it was even more dazzling than before. In fact, it even formed a solid barrier of light outside the temple.
Edmund and Zumar had yet to react, but they suddenly felt their vision blurring as a figure appeared in front of them in a flash. It was Lin Li, who had been drawing mageweaths in the temple.
Although he already had an answer in his heart, Edmund nevertheless somewhat apprehensively asked, “President Felic, how is the situation? Has the mageweath been completed successfully?”
Although Lin Li seemed a little fatigued, he was also completely relaxed. He nodded, and said, “Fortunately, the mageweath was completed successfully.” To him, drawing the mageweath this time was not just meant for fulfilling the wishes of the Illuminati, because it had also given him plenty of inspiration that allowed him to make another considerable breakthrough in his attainments in the field of inscription.
On the other hand, both Edmund and Zumar couldn’t contain their joy after hearing Lin Li’s affirmative reply. Edmund suppressed his excitement, and then asked Lin Li, “President Felic, when will Lord Aquilo be resurrected now with the help of the mageweath you have drawn?”
Edmund and the others only knew that with the help of the mageweath that Lin Li had drawn, the resurrection of Lord Aquilo would be completed ahead of schedule, though the duration by which it was shortened was uncertain; it could be a year or perhaps decades. Although they didn’t specify the number of years by which they wanted Lord Aquilo to be resurrected sooner when asking Lin Li for help, they inevitably had some expectations which would usually seem unrealistic.
Lin Li did not keep them in suspense. After making some calculations in his head, he said, “My current attainments in inscription are still far from the true Divine-Smith-level. Although I have succeeded in drawing the mageweath successfully, this mageweath is not at the Divine-Smith-level, after all. Hence, it won’t be able to make this resurrection speed increase by much.”
The hearts of Edmund and Zumar sank when they heard Lin Li’s answer. Can it really be brought forward by only a few years? If that’s the case, it won’t make much of a difference.
However, Lin Li did not bother looking at their expressions. Instead, he turned to look at the ongoing battle in the distance while nonchalantly saying, “It will be sped up by about two times, but apart from the role of mageweaths, it also depends on Saint Aquilo himself. If he can work well with the mageweath, he might be able to be resurrected even earlier than that.”
So it’s going to take half the time it would originally have taken! Edmund and Zumar were both so agitated that they were on the verge of tears. The result had far exceeded their expectations. After waiting for thousands of years, it was finally time for them to see some results. Even a peak Sanctuary-level powerhouse like Edmund could barely control his emotions at this point.
However, Lin Li completely ignored Edmund’s and Zumar’s reaction. Instead, he seemed to be more interested in those humanoid worms. In fact, after seeing those humanoid worms, he could already sense an aura that was rather similar to that of the Light-Winged Angels they had encountered previously.
Lin Li was certain that the humanoid worms were definitely creatures that did not belong to this world, and had probably been created by some fallen deities in their own Divine Kingdom. With Lin Li’s strength, it would be a piece of cake to destroy the humanoid worms. Even the mother humanoid worm that was fighting with Connoris could not stop him in the slightest. However, he did not strike immediately, because he already felt that Connoris’ strength seemed to have increased greatly during the battle with the mother humanoid worm. Hence, he thought that the ordinary humanoid worms could be used to hone the mages of the Mage Legion.
Since Lin Li had finished drawing the mageweaths, the two teams naturally stopped focusing entirely on shielding the temple, because there was no longer a need to. Instead, they launched a counterattack against the humanoid worms. The mages of the Tower of Dusk and the members of the Illuminati’s team were all elites among their peers to begin with. Once they stopped having any scruples, there was a huge change in the battle situation.
Even though the humanoid worms had gained a variety of abilities through evolution, they still couldn’t stop the elites of both teams from slaughtering them. The mages of the Tower of Dusk were constantly casting all kinds of magic spells which then continuously blasted at the humanoid worms, and turned them into bits like a thunderstorm. The Illuminati’s team didn’t fall far behind, either. The Sword Sages waved their sharp swords, and began casting Chaos magic spells that killed the humanoid worms.
In particular, Angelano’s Alchemy Colossus was fighting mightily like Optimus Prime as it smashed the spear hard against the ground, smashing dozens of humanoid worms into bits. With a casual stomp of its foot, the Alchemy Colossus crushed the humanoid worms into badly mangled corpses. During the battle over the past few days, the number of humanoid worms that had been killed had probably reached hundreds of millions.
Of course, the real deciding factor for victory was still the battle between Connoris and the mother humanoid worm. Even Connoris didn’t expect to have fused even further with the perfect body after the past few days of fighting. Perhaps it might sound insignificant, but it had resulted in a world of a difference in Connoris’ strength. It was as if he had become another person.
Connoris could even feel that the door to the Sanctuary-realm had opened to him, and he could step into it as soon as he put his foot forward. That feeling made him feel extremely excited, but it was unfortunate for his opponent, the mother of the humanoid worms. If it couldn’t defeat Connoris then and now, it didn’t stand a chance at all.
Connoris flipped the mother humanoid worm onto the ground again. Immediately afterwards, he strode over to sit on it with one hand pressed against its body. He then grabbed the humanoid worm’s scythe-like forearm with his other hand. As Connoris’ muscles bulged, a hissing sound could be heard as he ripped the mother humanoid worm’s forearm off resolutely.
In the face of the humanoid worm’s wailing, Connoris did not hesitate to strike at all. Instead, he cupped the humanoid worm’s skull with both hands, and then headbutted it with all his might. When the head of the mother humanoid worm was sent flying from its massive body, it actually disintegrated with a loud bang, and turned into countless light orbs that flew towards the temple before fusing with the light barrier. There was now only a 2..3 meter tall monument at the place where the mother humanoid worm was originally at.
