Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

by Zhuang Bifan

  Ever since Lothar chased them to the forest, the battle became extremely thrilling. However, it was only daunting for Lin Li because he was scared for Rogge almost every moment, and he was frightened whenever Rogge has a close shave with death. Lin Li was not only worried because Rogge might not be able to send him away, but also because he respected Rogge greatly, and did not wish to see him falling into the doldrums. However, in the current situation, Lin Li could do nothing but panic. There was no way he could use his abilities and trump cards at this juncture.

  On the battlefield, Rogge's body was shrouded in the Domain created by the Laws of Darkness, but it was different from the so-called Darkness Domain. This one not only exhibited the power of Darkness, it also contained a type of Divine Power. As Rogge said to Lin Li before, the extreme of darkness was light, and Rogge's Darkness Domain had reached the extreme of possessing attributes of light. Lin Li couldn't detect any Evilness or Darkness from Rogge's Darkness Domain, and he simply felt that the entire Darkness Domain was glistening with some divine light.

  Under Rogge's previous guidance, Lin Li had already gained some insights into the relationship between the powers of darkness and light. Now that he was looking at Rogge's Darkness Domain, he suddenly felt that he had gotten a clearer idea of their relationship. Unfortunately, it was not the time for him to calm down and study it carefully at this juncture. Although he was just a bystander, he'd definitely die if he got distracted.

  Although Rogge was already a top powerhouse in Anril, he was still powerless facing the Flame Dragon Lothar, which was close to becoming a god. Rogge could persist for so long because he was ready to go all out, and had put aside the importance of his own life. He was almost maniacal when exerting all his powers, relying on his greatest hope, the dense forest which was a transformation of the branch of the Tree of Eternity.

  In addition to the suppression that the vitality of the greenery, which was shrouding the forest, inflicted on Lothar's powers, Rogge was also continuously manipulating the plants in the forest to attack Lothar while using his own powers. He was still trying hard even though his attacks seemed more like just harassment.

  The grass that was growing wildly turned into a rain of arrows darting towards Lothar, and the python-like vines continued to coil around Lothar continuously. When Lothar passed by the towering trees, they suddenly turned into treemen and leaped towards Lothar who was covered in flames. However, those attacks were worse than tickles to Lothar. In fact, none of the attacks could even land on his body, because they were all instantly incinerated by the golden flames on his body.

  "Disgusting weakling, you can't escape. Anyone who provokes the power of the wyrm must pay the price for doing so!" Lothar yelled, but he wasn't that angry. To him, an insignificant small fry wasn't worthy of his anger at all, though it was indeed a little annoying.

  Lothar smacked away the magic spells that were coming his way with one claw, and at the same time swung his claws to throw out countless golden lines of flames, which seemed to have formed a golden fire net that instantly blocked the duo from hiding. Although the golden lines were extremely fine and slender, each of them contained pure fire nomological power that could burn others. To Sanctuary-realm powerhouses who used nomological power, this was absolutely fatal.

  Sensing the terrifying power contained in the golden lines of flames, Lin Li, who had been feeling scared for Rogge, was even more frightened at this point. At least in his opinion, suffering the attacks of Lothar was absolutely inevitable if he were to put himself in Rogge's position. However, if he wanted to resist, it would be hard for him to make effective defenses because of the characteristics of the flames that could burn everything. If Lin Li had reached the Sanctuary-realm, he might be able to cope with the power of the debris of the stars. Likewise, if the baby Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua reached the Sanctuary-realm, it should be able to cope by relying on its mastery of the elemental Laws. However, those were all just 'if's. Rogge did not have any debris of the stars, nor would he use them. Xiao Hua had yet to reach the Sanctuary-realm too. Hence, its mastery of the Elemental Laws could not suppress the Flame Dragon Lothar.

  Even Lin Li could see the threat of the golden lines made of flames, so Rogge was naturally clear about it too. At the same time that he was retreating, a wall of light that was filled with Holy aura instantly appeared in front of him. However, it was clear that even the Laws of Holy Light which were said to be able to purify everything were as fragile as a piece of paper under the destructive Laws contained in the golden lines of flames.

  After the wall of light appeared, Roger manipulated the vines in the Eternal Forest to weave a green barrier. However, the Eternal Forest was just transformed from a section of the branch of the Tree of Eternity, after all, and Rogge had only activated a small amount of power in the branch of the Tree of Eternity. As soon as the green barrier touched the fire net formed by the golden flames, it was instantly cut to pieces and burned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

  However, this green barrier was not completely useless. The vitality that it contained had some suppressing effect on the destructive nomological power. After the green barrier was burned and destroyed, the fire net woven by the golden lines of flames had become much dimmer. In fact, if they were in the real Eternal Forest, and if Rogge was able to exert just half of the power in the branch of the Tree of Eternity, the golden fire net would have no chance of advancing at all.

  It took less than a second for the green barrier to be burned. Although Rogge retreated very quickly and cast two consecutive barriers to stop the net, it still managed to chase him all the way. At this moment, Rogge really had nowhere to retreat, and could only rely on his own strength to resist.

  At this moment, a patch of red that resembled the tongue of a venomous snake flashed in front of Rogge. Upon sight of this, Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the redness was fleeting, he could still acutely detect the aura of Destruction and Evilness. Clearly, Nefa had taken the initiative to resolve the crisis for Rogge.

  Indeed, after Rogge's crisis was resolved, Nefa, who had turned into a black dragon, continued to harass Lothar while smugly saying, "Old Rogge, you should be more careful. I think you'd better tell me what I want to know. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will save you next time."

  "If you want to know, wait for me to finish this first," Rogge said calmly before going all out to attack Lothar.

  Compared to Rogge who had been having close shaves with death, Nefa's situation was much better. From the beginning of the battle, he had been moving around like a loach. As long as there was the slightest danger, he would immediately flee and avoid fighting Lothar head-on. In strict accordance with the previous agreement, he was only responsible for harassing Lothar. Nefa didn't want to go all out, but he didn't want Rogge to die, either. It was not that he was kindhearted, but rather that Rogge was holding onto an important piece of information.

  However, Nefa was filled with dismay even though he sounded relaxed. Although the Laws of Destruction that he'd mastered had the characteristic of destroying everything in the world, its effects depended on the strength of the person using it. Even his father, Azardas the Dragon of Destruction, dared not say that he could really destroy everything in the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed by the Immortal King. Nefa was still not the Dragon of Destruction yet, and his powers were inferior to Rogge's, what more Lothar's. Even though the vitality of the branch of the Tree of Eternity would weaken the power of the golden fire net, the attack made him suffer.

  Upon sight of the nomological power of Destruction that Nefa was exhibiting, Lin Li's eyes immediately glistened. Although his Magical Domain was created with the nomological power of Light and Darkness, he would be at a greater advantage if he could have more understanding of the Laws of Destruction. That would help him in mastering the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, which contained the Laws of Destruction.

  Nefa had inherited the nomological power of Destructi
on and Evilness from the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction. Although he was the weakest in this battle, he was still a real powerhouse of the Sanctuary-realm, after all. Just like the other two Sanctuary powerhouses, the black dragon that Nefa transformed into was engulfed in a Domain where the rules of Destruction and Evilness overlapped. The evil, cruel, and insidious qualities of the nomological power of Evilness formed a thick dark red mist that continuously exuded a gloomy and bloody aura.

  However, Nefa refused to exert much strength during the battle against Lothar. He would merely harass Lothar a little when he was sure that there was absolutely no danger. He did not show much nomological power of Destruction and Evilness. After observing for a while, Lin Li did not manage to learn much from Nefa, especially in terms of the nomological power of the Laws of Destruction which he was more concerned about. It seemed that he was bad at applying the Laws of Evilness because he had yet to become the real Dragon of Destruction.

  The battle between the parties that had a great disparity in strength continued. Rogge, who was going all out, fighting toe-to-toe against Lothar, was still in a perpetual crisis. Fortunately, he managed to survive by relying on the support of the Eternal Forest and Nefa's help. However, things seemed to be developing according to Rogge's wishes. The vitality of the Eternal Forest was gradually increasing with time, thus giving him more and more aid.

  Chapter 809 - Seed

  Lothar let out a deafening roar all of a sudden, and his voice was full of anger. He then emitted an even more menacing and eye-catching flame while releasing numerous powerful magic spells that contained the nomological power of fire at the forest. The tall trees, sturdy vines, and dense grass were all destroyed in large amounts by the bombardment of magic.

  Although it hadn't been long since they entered the forest, Lothar still couldn't tolerate the fact that he had wasted so much time on a small fry. If it weren't for that forest, he would have long burned him to ashes. Hence, Lothar could no longer be bothered about Rogge and Nefa, and instead decided to completely destroy that damned forest.

  After all, the forest was not the actual Eternal Forest. The greenery initially destroyed by Lothar could still quickly recover with its immense vitality. However, when the level-28 Flame Dragon Lothar began to destroy the forest with all his strength, the forest definitely couldn't recover quickly enough.

  Rogge suddenly became anxious after seeing such a scene. The forest was the most important factor in stopping Lothar from entering Anril. Although all of Lothar's attention was on destroying the forest, Rogge didn't take this opportunity to attack. He had no choice but to stop and chant his prayers while channeling the power of the branch of the Tree of Eternity with all his might, even though he knew that doing so would only result in minimal effects.

  Even Lin Li didn't dare to sit back and do nothing at this moment. Although his power was limited, he would definitely be able to do something. Lin Li raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand without hesitation, and bombarded Lothar who was destroying the forest with the most powerful Legendary magic that he had.

  However, the facts proved that Lin Li's Legendary power really didn't have any effect in a Sanctuary-level battle. In Lin Li's opinion, his Legendary magic spells were already rather powerful. However, they only caused the golden flame on the Flame Dragon Lothar's body to sway slightly. Under such circ.u.mstances, Lin Li could only feel helpless. He reckoned that even if he were to unleash all three of his pieces of the debris of the stars, he would not be able to cause much damage to the Flame Dragon Lothar.

  However, under Rogge's full support, the recovery speed of the Eternal Forest was improved again, and he had also managed to stop Lothar and slow down the damage that he was doing to the forest. The plants outside the forest had become sparse, and some had even withered. Plants were continuously growing out of the spot where Lothar was, and they began to flock towards Lothar like a huge army of plants.

  This time, the Flame Dragon Lothar became even more annoyed and infuriated. He had woken up from a deep sleep, and wanted to fight the Titans to get some exercise. However, he ended up getting provoked by some small fry whom he thought he could kill easily. However, he ended up getting stuck in a scuffle with him for such a long time because of the damned forest. He wanted to destroy the forest, but the forest was recovering faster than before. Lothar obviously couldn't tolerate the fact that he couldn't destroy a small fry and an entire forest despite being a wyrm.

  However, Lothar was not a fool. After the resistance of the Eternal Forest suddenly strengthened, he immediately noticed what was going wrong. He'd initially thought that the forest was a natural phenomenon of this world, and that there was nothing strange about the immense vitality, because forests were supposed to be full of life anyway. Later on, he got into a fight with Rogge. Although Lothar was constantly attacked by the trees in the forest, his power and the vitality of the forest were conflicting in the first place. He had seen aggressive plants before, and he simply thought that Rogge was manipulating the vitality of the plants.

  However, after seeing the sudden change in the forest and linking it to Rogge's prayers, Lothar immediately understood that the entire forest was controlled by the insignificant figure in his eyes. Having figured that out, Lothar immediately stopped destroying the forest, and instead turned around to dash towards Rogge who was still chanting the prayers loudly. The nomological power of fire that formed the golden flames on his body instantly condensed into countless powerful fire spells and a Flaming Torrent that surged towards Rogge.

  At this moment, Rogge was still chanting prayers, and trying his best to sustain the Eternal Forest. He couldn't dodge at all, and the only thing he could do was to control the plants in the Eternal Forest and manipulate them into forming a green barrier in front of the terrifying Flaming Torrent. However, every magic spell launched by a level-28 Sanctuary powerhouse would contain nomological power, and the Flaming Torrent formed by those spells would definitely be able to destroy the world. The green barriers that were made up of plants were so weak that they were instantly destroyed whenever the Flaming Torrent passed by.

  Although the Flaming Torrent was greatly weakened by the layers of obstruction and the vitality of the Eternal Forest, it was still terrifying, and Rogge would definitely have a hard time. Not to mention, the menacing Flame Dragon Lothar was right behind the Flaming Torrent. Lothar must have made up his mind to kill Rogge in one fell swoop.

  Seeing such a situation, Lin Li's heart suddenly sank to rock bottom. That power was simply unparalleled for humans, and Rogge would probably have to wish for a miracle to happen in order for him to escape. Lin Li had cooperated with others on many expeditions, and he was the one to create miracles on most occasions. However, in the face of such a situation, he couldn't come up with a solution at all.

  The Flaming Torrent was about to devour Rogge's body, but at this moment, a huge black figure appeared in front of Rogge like a giant gate that was about to intercept the Flaming Torrent. At this moment, Lin Li dared not believe his eyes at all, because the one who blocked the attack for Rogge turned out to be Nefa, who had been sneaking in.

  At this time, Nefa did not hesitate to overdraft his mana and mental strength in order to maximize the power of his Laws of Destruction and Laws of Evilness. The bloody mist around his body also appeared to be much thicker, but his massive body still seemed rather small compared to the Flaming Torrent. In the blink of an eye, Nefa's figure was submerged in the fiery red flames, and the roar of the dragon that was filled with agony could be heard. However, his roar was soon drowned out by the sounds of the magic attacks.

  When the Flaming Torrent came to an end, Nefa's body finally emerged gradually, and the thick bloody mist had become much thinner. Most of the black scales on his body, which had been originally smooth, became dim and broken. His body was full of burns, and he looked extremely disheveled. However, even though they survived the Flaming Torrent, the crisis that Nefa and Rogge were facing had yet
to really be resolved.

  "Indeed, you are just as depraved as your father!" Lothar exclaimed, shifting all of his attention and anger onto the traitor of the wyrms when he saw that his supposed shot of victory was actually blocked by Nefa.

  Although Lothar was harassed by Nefa from time to time in battle, he felt that Nefa was not really helping Rogge, because Nefa wasn't putting in much effort. Hence, he did not take Nefa's previous harassment to heart. However, now that Nefa had actually used his body to block a fatal attack for Rogge, Lothar felt somewhat betrayed. The anger that this brought suddenly surpassed everything, and Lothar even developed a strong hatred for Nefa. The small fry and the forest no longer mattered to him. The only thing he wanted to do was to kill the traitor of wyrms who was in front of him.

  Before the heavily injured Nefa could rejoice about being alive, he shuddered uncontrollably because Lothar glowered at him with a resentful gaze. Feeling wronged, he thought, Do you think I wanted to do this? If it was not for the sake of getting the information that Rogge has, why would I play hero!?

  However, the Flame Dragon Lothar didn't care about Nefa's reasons, nor intended to give him any chance at all. Instead, he leaped towards Nefa without stopping.

  Nefa was much less powerful than the Flame Dragon Lothar in the first place, and now that he was seriously injured, he definitely dared not go toe-to-toe against Lothar at all. He didn't care about Rogge who was behind him, and frantically fled to the side. However, to Nefa's dismay, Lothar actually ignored Rogge who was close at hand, changed directions, and chased after him immediately. A hot pursuit began in the quasi-Eternal Forest.

  Upon sight of this, Rogge decided to stop moving. In fact, he couldn't move anyway. If it weren't for the last-ditch efforts that Nefa had put forth just now, how could he have survived Lothar's attack? Nefa's injury would not affect his mobility, but Rogge was severely injured by the nomological power during the scuffle. However, it was not the time to rest and heal his wounds now. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rogge stood still and continued to chant prayers to help the forest recover in hopes of using the power of the Eternal Forest to make the Flame Dragon Lothar go to sleep again.
