Chapter 404 - The Humerus Wyrm in the dark (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The worst thing was that Lin Li realized from Adelo’s words that this was not an unchanging cycle. Rather, it had a s...o...b..lling effect, and the Undead creatures created by this Gloomy Dark would become increasingly powerful, and one day overpower the restraints of the Gloomy Dark. They’d walk out of the Scar of Death and turn the Blackstone Mountains into the land of the Undead. They might even head down the Blackstone Mountains and attack nearby villages and cities…

If things got to that state, then the Malfa Family would be in for a ride. The Blackstone Mountains were only half a day’s journey from Aminya City, and if the Undead creatures left the Blackstone Mountains, their first target would definitely be Aminya City. It’d then be too late, for the Undead creatures were not like the army of the Ledin Kingdom, where negotiation was an option if they could not beat them—once these Undead creatures attacked a city, even the most prosperous one would be turned into ruins overnight.

Aminya City was the root of the Malfa Family’s existence, and if it was destroyed, so was the Malfa Family.

The Malfa Family would never allow such a thing to happen, and even though not many things in the world could attract the Legendary-realm Cheyenne, even he was concerned over this matter, and was trying all sorts of ways to stop this tragedy before it became too late.

“Let me think…” Lin Li’s mind was in a mess now. He had already sorted out his thoughts earlier, but was now confused again by Adelo’s words.

It seemed like this whole thing about the Scar of Death was much more complicated than he had originally thought. Initially, he’d thought that the Gloomy Dark was the ruler of the Scar of Death, and once he had control over the Gloomy Dark, he would be able to control the whole Scar of Death, but that did not seem to be the case anymore.

The altar that Adelo spoke of seemed to be the one that truly controlled the Undead creatures, and it was the true core of the research base. The Gloomy Dark was at most a source of power for the research base, just like Wyrm Magical crystal in the Eternal Furnace.

Lin Li was well aware that the power of the Gloomy Dark was nowhere beneath that of the Wyrm Magical crystal, and that this research base powered by the power of the Gloomy Dark was probably comparable to the Eternal Furnace as well. How could the altar at the center of it be easily destroyed?

And not to forget, there was a powerful being sealed in the research base, one that was able to battle it out with Cheyenne…

“This is so complicated…” Lin Li ma.s.saged the place between his brows in anguish as he could not think of a solution at all. In the end, he gritted his teeth, and took out the Holy Light from the Ring of Endless Storm.

Honestly, Lin Li did not want to use the Holy Light at all. It was too dangerous, for once Light and Darkness came in contact, the explosion it’d cause would be comparable to that of Legendary magic’s power. Back in the Endless World, the explosion caused by the Holy Light and the Gloomy Dark had blown off nearly half of the Sun Palace. If that happened in the cave now, the dozen of people in the advance party would be blown to bits.

But, he had no other choice…

There were too many Undead creatures in the cave, and every step they took was strenuous. It had been an entire afternoon, but they could not even cover 10 percent of their journey. And this was only the start. Who knew what lay ahead of them? Especially after they entered the research base, unimaginable dangers could await them there—everybody knew that the High Elven aristocrats were s.a.d.i.s.ts. The group could only counter whatever they’d left behind with an even more s.a.d.i.s.tic method, the Holy Light.

This was all they could do now—they’d blast their way through these Undead creatures using the powerful Holy Light so that they could enter the research base and destroy the altar before getting their hands on the Gloomy Dark.

Lin Li was h.e.l.l-bent on getting the Gloomy Dark this time!

It was not just because the Gloomy Dark was very powerful…

The Gloomy Dark held something more important to Lin Li.

Coincidence after coincidence from the Daylight Square to the Scar of Death made Lin Li feel something—the seven scattered pieces of the debris of the stars and the Immortal King whose name was the only thing he knew about him were both intricately linked to him. However, he could not say for sure what was the relations.h.i.+p between them. The only thing Lin Li knew was that the only way he could solve this mystery was to find the seven pieces of the debris of the stars as well as the long lost Stars of Fury. The moment this mythical weapon was in his hands once again would probably the moment everything was revealed.

Light filled the cave when the Holy Light was taken out. It was like the sun was rising in the east, finally escaping the restraints of the dark and bringing warmth to the earth. The entire cave lit up suddenly as every corner and crevice of the cave was filled with the Holy aura. All the Undead creatures, be it the br.i.m.m.i.n.g Skeletal Warriors or the cowardly Liches, melted like snow in the sun in front of the Holy Light.

“This… this is?” Adelo was stunned. He’d never thought that this unbelievably difficult fight could have been ended in such a way. After all, every Skeletal Warrior here was close to level-10, and the Liches hiding in the black fog were all at least level-16. Even the 20 Death Knights would have a hard time against them.

But they did not even last a second in the face of the Holy Light…

With a sizzle, the world descended into silence.

It was all like a dream. Perhaps even an Archbishop of the Brilliance Shrine would not be able to create such a miracle in this battle.

Adelo was not the only one baffled. Besides Ujfalusi and Norfeller, who had witnessed the power of the Holy Light themselves, everyone was in a daze. Even the 20 Death Knights he had just conquered revealed looks of fear.

And the one who was most surprised was no doubt Rina…

As a Paladin of the Brilliance Shrine, she knew better than anyone else what the ray of light meant. That was Divine Power even stronger than the Great Prophecy. Perhaps even Rosario would not have been able to cleanse all the Undead creatures so easily like this young mage had done.

Could it be… Rina suddenly thought of that meeting—that time when Rosario had used three Great Prophecy spells.

“Till now, the only thing I know is that he is in the Breezy Plains, and is around 20 years old. He is also a mage…”
