Chapter 202 - Legendary Magical Crystal (2/2)
Lin Li was rejoicing because he was prepared.
The various herbs within in the Ring of Endless Storm allowed Lin Li to concoct the various potions to deal with the Salamander. This was the most crucial part of this battle.
The ingestion of these ten or more bottles of potions made the Salamander self-destruct.
If this were to be spread, it might make people feel that this skill, the legacy of the High Elves, was too monstrous…
Presumably, only Lin Li knew it. If this matter were to be disclosed, it actually was not worth a single penny.
Even if he did not have a skill that was the legacy of the high elves, he could still achieve his goal. It was just that it would be slightly more complicated compared to using potions.
The unique position of the Salamander’s magical crystal had already determined its miserable fate.
Its immense Power Of Fire came from the magical crystal at the heart. Once it was gravely injured, the Power Of Fire contained within the magical crystal would become unstable. Therefore, it had no choice but to retract its Power Of Fire to prevent itself from inflicting injury upon itself. When the Salamander was in such a condition, it would become very dangerous. If anything that could ignite the Power Of Fire within itself were to happen, it would be burnt alive by itself…
And Lin Li manipulated it using this point.
All of the tens of bottles of high-level potions were meant to buff every single elemental power. One of them was even a master level atomic energy potion. It was used for increasing the explosive power of the elemental power.
The Salamander was already in a dangerous condition. Its Power Of Fire was seriously unstable. It just had to drink tens of bottles of elemental power enhancing potions, so how could it not be unlucky? Furthermore, within those tens of bottles of potions, there was an Atomic Energy potion that was used for raising the explosive power of elemental energy. That was the real killer. For mages, a bottle of Potion of Fury could instantly boost the combat power by a level. It could allow a magic shooter to have the power of an archmage. Even though it lasted only for a short period, the power released during that time could only be described as horrific.
As legendary magical beast, the Power Of Fire that the Salamander had released during that instance should not belong to Anril. It was not a G.o.d. How could it survive under such circ.u.mstances?
One had to admit, Lin Li had picked up a heavenly bargain.
The Sword Sage of the Storm’s fight to the death had brought about a rare chance for Lin Li. With the ingestion of the tens of bottles of high-level potions, it’d immediately sent the Salamander to heaven.
“A thing like luck is really hard to explain…” After placing the Salamander’s magical crystal into the Ring of Endless Storm, satisfied, this fella even shamelessly sighed.
The Sword Sage of the Storm saw him take out the silver knife and watched him cut open the Salamander’s abdomen before finally extracting the crimson red magical crystal. It truly was so heartbreaking that he almost teared up…
Although this was not the true objective behind his attempt to hunt the Salamander, who wouldn’t be interested in a legendary-level magical crystal? It was a priceless treasure. It even had a chance of being traded with Aldwin for the key to Osric’s mausoleum.
Unfortunately…
Unfortunately, this priceless treasure fell into the hands of this young mage in the end.
He could not even breathe a word about it, because it had already been settled previously. The other party wanted to extract something from the Salamander’s carca.s.s, and no matter what it was going to be, he could only watch. With the Sword Sage of the Storm’s current position, he would not do something like going back on his words…
“Let’s go, back to Alanna!” After obtaining a magical crystal for no reason at all, Lin Li’s mood could not be any better. Even the prisoner, Argus, stood to gain something from it. Lin Li affectionately patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Let’s have a good chat while we are on the road. I have a few questions to ask you. If you can answer them properly, I will release you once we reach Alanna.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely answer properly…” Argus was surprised. He had never thought that this guy would actually become so easy to talk to.
To be able to escape after answering a few questions. Where could such good deal be found?
The three of them went past the corpse of the Salamander and walked towards the route for descending the mountain.
“Hold up, kid!” The Sword Sage of the Storm was feeling sorry about the Salamander’s magical crystal, and then he suddenly saw these few fellas trying to leave, so he hurriedly shouted at them.
“Mr Al’Akir, is there something wrong?” Lin Li was smiling, but he reminded himself that this was a legendary powerhouse. Even if he was still poisoned by the Salamander, he was somebody that he, who’d just broken through the Archmage realm, could go up against.
If this old man were to turn against him, it would mean serious trouble. Even though, judging by the Sword Sage of the Storm’s position, he most likely would not do something like that. However, in some situations, it was better to be more careful.
Therefore, when Lin Li stopped, even though his face was filled with smiles, his mana had already been raised to the max…
“Kid, there’s no need to be so nervous.” Lin Li’s body was filled with mana. The intense magical wave could be felt from far away. How could a veteran like the Sword Sage of the Storm not know what he was thinking about? Immediately, he smiled in a very friendly manner to show that he did not have any animosity.
“Guild Master, how can I help you?” Lin Li did not take it lying down. I don’t care if you have any animosity, let’s distance ourselves from this dangerous person first. He smiled while talking, and also moved back at the same time. After finis.h.i.+ng this sentence, he had already s.h.i.+fted back more than ten steps.
“Let me say this, kid, can you not be so nervous…” The Sword Sage of the Storm felt like both crying and laughing. He had lived for almost a hundred years, and had never experienced something like this. He had been seen as a weird old man trying to trick a kid with lollipops! To prove that he did not harbor any ill intentions, the Sword Sage of the Storm took more than ten steps back before the other party did. Only then did he ask Lin Li from afar, “I just wanted to ask if you are from the Pharmacists Guild?”
“No!” Lin Li shook his head straightforwardly. He did not wait for the Sword Sage of the Storm to question him further, and took Sean and Argus with him to the route to descend the mountain.
“…” The Sword Sage of the Storm was dazed for a while, and suddenly touched his face before asking himself in a uncertain manner, “Am i really that scary?”
The members of the six great mercenary corps only returned to their normal state when Lin Li’s party had descended the mountain…
Today had been too stimulating for them. They had seen the legendary Salamander and a person that could kill the legendary magical beast with their own eyes.
Serena commanded her subordinates to clear the battlefield while thinking to herself. She had always felt that the fella together with Lin Li had always been somewhat familiar…
“Oh my G.o.d. That’s Argus!” It was only after a full ten minutes that Serena finally remembered. In an instant, her expression could only be described as unusually brilliant.
