Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

by Zhuang Bifan

  That scene had undoubtedly brought an even greater shock to everyone, and they could feel the amazing power contained in the Light and Darkness Sword. Even Joseph, who detested Lin Li, dared not go toe-to-toe against the sword. However, the sword did not even manage to touch the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. Was that the difference between the Sanctuary-realm and the Legendary-realm!?! The pinnacle of the Legendary-realm was claimed to be infinitely close to the Sanctuary-realm, but as long as one did not cross the threshold, the distance would be infinitely huge!

  However, no one dared to slack off at all at this juncture, regardless of whether they were frightened or feeling cowardly. While putting up the crumbling defensive magic spells, the Legendary-mages raised their staffs and cast the most powerful magic spells that they could with all their might.

  All of a sudden, the sky became incredibly vibrant, and amidst the flying snowflakes, lightning, fire snakes, and wind dragons swarmed towards the Iceblast Wyrm as if they were going to drown it. The condensed swords1 did not fall behind, either. They passed through the crowd and stabbed at the Iceblast Wyrm's body with immense power that could tear the sky…

  "Howl!"

  The sound of a dragon roaring emotionlessly filled the sky.

  With the roar of the dragon, all of the attacks disintegrated in an instant, be it offensive spells or swords. They disappeared immediately and went up in smoke like torches that fell into a pool of water. However, shortly after, the snowflakes in the sky began surging, and then charged at everyone with intense killing intent…

  The Legendary powerhouses who had always been high and mighty finally experienced what it was like to be insignificant in front of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. Even though they were already regarded as god-like existences by ordinary people, and seemed to possess the power to destroy the heavens and earth, they were actually no different from those ordinary humans now. They were just insignificant small fries that were at most a little stronger than the others.

  Facing the attack from the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera which seemed to be rather casual, they did not have time to catch their breath at all. The sounds of their magical shields shattering were incessant, and everyone was trying their best to release their defensive magic spells. If they weren't careful, they might die with their corpses torn into pieces.

  Lin Li was not having it any better as well. Those attacks were simply unavoidable, and there was no other way but to defend against them with all his might. Although he was still wearing his Space-related Magical Robe, the entire battlefield was filled with deadly snowflakes, and there was nowhere he could go even if he used space-related magic spells. In his hands, the glow of the Helios' Scepter was constantly flickering, and all he could do was desperately put up layers of magical shields. If 10 weren't enough, he would add 10 more. However, that wasn't enough, so Lin Li continuously released defensive magic spells, yet he still felt the snowflakes getting closer and closer to him.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%E2%80%99s-versatile-crafting-master_11275087605321405/judgment-of-light_48698989834464432 for visiting.

  Not far from Lin Li was Connoris, who was also in a state of exasperation at this juncture. The Eternal Frost Blade in his hand was constantly cracking in the space around him. Every crack that appeared was like a long whale drawing water, s.u.c.k.i.n.g the surrounding snowflakes into the cracks. He seemed to be having an easier time dealing with it than Lin Li.

  However, only Connoris himself knew that it wouldn't be easy to cut through and create some spatial rifts even with the power of the Eternal Frost Blade. If another Sword Sage who did not have the perfect body created by Osric had been in his place, he would probably have exhausted his power in a few shots. However, even with the perfect body, Connoris knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. After all, he still wasn't a Sanctuary powerhouse like Rodhart.

  Hence, after desperately trying to create a temporary safe space for himself, Connoris induced his power into the Eternal Frost Blade vigorously, and slashed towards the Iceblast Wyrm that was far away. Following the trajectory of the Eternal Frost Blade, a beam of light spanning across tens of meters flashed before disappearing without a trace.

  "BOOM!"

  The disappearing sword light directly traversed thousands of meters before appearing in front of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera again. It then slashed at Sindera's throat. After a loud bang, the snowfall stopped, and the snowflakes that contained massive power instantly disappeared without a trace.

  Everyone found it a little hard to accept the unexpected change, and there was even a Legendary-mage who continued to cast defensive magic spells. Was that a surprise? When they shifted their gazes to the Iceblast Wyrm's body, they felt a chill in their hearts. The light of the sword did hit the Iceblast Wyrm's throat, but it didn't even break the ice armor on it, even though the sword was powerful enough to cut a wyrm into two.

  "Damn it, I couldn't even hurt it!" Connoris cursed after failing to injure the Iceblast Wyrm. Although he never thought that he would be able to severely injure the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera with his sword, he found the fact that he had failed to penetrate its defense incredibly absurd.

  Could Connoris even break the magic spells of the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera? It was a Sanctuary powerhouse that mastered the lethal power of elemental laws of water. It did not have to rely on chanting spells to cast magic like ordinary mages. Perhaps it merely wanted to change its approach.

  However, the pause could be considered breathing time for the crowd. However, they did not use it to attack the Iceblast Wyrm. Instead, they used all sorts of methods to strengthen their defense. The situation just now made their hearts ricochet, and no one knew what powerful magic spell the Iceblast Wyrm was going to cast next. Since their attacks had no effect on the Iceblast Wyrm, they would try to save their own lives for the time being, regardless of the outcome.

  However, Lin Li had no intention of giving up the opportunity. In fact, he had already raised Holy Light in his other hand when he sensed the change in the magical waves around him. "Since the Light and Darkness Sword doesn't work, I will try this!"

  At that moment, a Magic Array that was as tall as a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of Lin Li. The entire Magic Array was filled with milky white light, and the center of the Magic Array was the debris of the stars, Holy Light. As the Magic Array rotated, a blinding ray of light darted out of one of the origin points on the Magic Array. When the light reached its peak, it converged in a central point that was one meter in front of the Magic Array.

  "Boom!" A ray of white light that was as wide as a bucket darted out from that point immediately, causing ripples to form in the space, emitting the purest holy aura of the world before quickly shooting at the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera.

  "Judgment of Light!" Upon seeing the white light and feeling the pure holy aura, everyone couldn't help but gasp. They even forgot what they were doing.

  The Judgment of Light was one of the most powerful theurgies of the Brilliance Shrine, and less than five members of the Brilliance Shrine could perform it! It was said that only the most devout believers of Holy Light who had been personally taught by Pope Rosario could perform it.

  However, the other party was one of the mages the Brilliance Shrine detested! Even though the Brilliance Shrine had become less harsh to mages in the recent years, they couldn't have possibly imparted the most powerful theurgy to them, could they? Besides, even if a mage learned it, he wouldn't be able to cast it. Would he really believe in that ethereal God of Light!?

  There had been many rumors about the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Brilliance Shrine in the Breezy Plains. However, to most people, it seemed to be only a cooperative relationship. Even if the rumors said that there were Holy Paladins in the Tower of Dusk, no one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes. The Holy Paladins were the bodyguards
of Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine. They usually wouldn't leave the Holy Mountain.

  However, even if they couldn't believe it, the incomparably pure holy aura could not be faked. They couldn't help recalling the rumors that were spreading across the Breezy Plains. They wondered if they might be real.

  However, no matter what thoughts they all had in their minds, they saw a glimmer of hope when they saw Lin Li suddenly display such a powerful Judgment of Light. Regardless of how strong the Iceblast Wyrm was, it was still an Undead creature, after all, and the purifying effect of the Holy Light on Undead creatures was well known throughout Anril. Although a single strike could not purify the Iceblast Wyrm, they reckoned that it should be able to give it a huge blow.

  Everyone watched expectantly as the light pillar filled with pure holy aura blasted a large hole in the death fog that surrounded the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, striking it hard on its c.h.e.s.t. The ice armor that blocked Connoris' astonishing sword attack seemed to lose its effect under the Judgment of Light as the light pillar blasted into the Iceblast Wyrm's body with little hindrance.

  The light that erupted at that instant almost engulfed half of the Iceblast Wyrm's body, dazzling and bright like the sun—so much so that they did not dare to look at it at all.

  Upon sight of that scene, almost everyone's heart was filled with ecstasy and euphoria. Even Joseph, who saw Lin Li as his enemy, was no exception. Of course, they also knew that a single shot of Judgment of Light would not be enough to completely purify the Iceblast Wyrm. However, as long as they could hurt it, it would at least show that fighting was not necessarily futile, and there was a chance of survival in the hopeless situation.

  However, when the light dissipated, the crowd was disappointed to find that although a hole had been born in the ice armor on the Iceblast Wyrm's c.h.e.s.t, its body didn't seem too damaged. No one knew how to use Holy Light Magic, but they knew very well what Undead creatures looked like when they were purified by Holy Light. Besides, they could clearly see the hole in the armor being restored in the blink of an eye.

  Even the Judgment of Light didn't work. Could it be that we really have to… Feeling disappointed, a despair-filled thought rose up in the hearts of almost everyone.

  Even Lin Li himself couldn't help but be horrified when he saw the result. The Judgment of Light was imparted to him by Pope Rosario when he was a guest at the Brilliance Shrine. It was claimed to be the strongest manifestation of the purification by Holy Light Magic. Over the thousand years since the establishment of the Brilliance Shrine, the Undead creatures purified by the Judgment of Light were all fierce and ferocious Undead kings that were turned into dust.

  Naturally, Lin Li knew that compared to Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine, his abilities were far inferior. There was still an incomparably huge gap between the Sanctuary-realm and the Legendary-realm. However, the Judgment of Light that Lin Li exhibited did not require his own power. Instead, it was the debris of the stars, Holy Light, which contained the purest Laws of light. However, even so, the Judgment of Light formed by such a power was probably only slightly inferior to Rosario's in the Brilliance Shrine.

  Yet, the debris of the stars, Holy Light, did not cause any damage to the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. If the Judgment of Light couldn't even break Sindera's defenses, Lin Li would resign to fate since his abilities were inferior. However, the problem was that the Judgment of Light had pierced through Sindera's ice armor. Hence, the purification power should have been directly applied to the other party's body, yet it hadn't even produced the slightest effect. It was an Undead creature!

  Of course, that was just Lin Li letting his imagination run wild while he was feeling bewildered. Lin Li was well aware that the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera's rich death aura was enough to prove its identity as an Undead creature. He reckoned that the Judgment of Light was unable to work because of the maniacal Prince Brahere. God knew what he had done to Sindera's body.

  However, the Iceblast Wyrm clearly wasn't going to give the crowd much time to breathe. As soon as the light dissipated, it suddenly let out a deafening roar, and the entire space trembled forcefully. The people who were floating in midair found it hard to stabilize themselves, and some even almost fell straight down.

  Next, a terrifying magical wave spread out in all directions with the Iceblast Wyrm in the middle. Massive snow tornadoes that were hundreds of meters tall instantly took shape, colliding with the crowd with a destructive force as they spun at high speed. Even the space around the tornadoes seemed to have become distorted. One could feel the great pulling force even from a great distance.

  In the blink of an eye, the Legendary powerhouses in the sky were forced into a desperate situation again. Apart from fleeing, there seemed to be no other solution for them. At the same time, the expedition began fighting the Humerus Wyrms, taking advantage of the terrain. However, they seemed to have entered a brief stalemate.

  The absence of Lin Li and the senior executives of the four forces had a large impact on the expedition, but that did not mean that they had completely lost their ability to resist.

  The Tower of Dusk's team in particular still acted as mainstays of the battle, even though five of their strongest Legendary powerhouses were absent. They managed to sustain the attacks of 20-odd Humerus Wyrms alone, and at least at this moment, none of them lost the upper hand.

  During the battle, the one who displayed the most eye-catching performance was not Angelano, who was controlling the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, but the Archmages who had yet to reach the Legendary-realm and were the lower-level members. To anyone else, those Archmages could at most continuously cast defensive magic spells when facing the Legendary-level Humerus Wyrms before collapsing.

  However, to everyone's surprise, the mages of the Tower of Dusk actually still had the spare energy to counterattack against the Humerus Wyrms when they were keeping up with their defenses. Besides, their attacks were full of power, and almost every attack was capable of causing substantial damage to the Humerus Wyrms. Possibly sword energy attacks or something, not weapons per se.

  Chapter 888 - Magic Array

  The Net Array was originally created by Geresco, the God of Mages, according to the characteristics of the human mages, and it had more advantages than disadvantages. At the end of the Dark Age, Geresco's Magic Legion won against the High Elves during the war to overthrow the rule of the High Elves all thanks to the Net Array.

  The High Elves had always claimed to be the best race. In fact, compared to other intelligent races, they did have various unmatched advantages, especially in terms of their comprehension of magic. It would not be difficult for them to enter the Legendary-realm at all. As long as they grew up and became a.d.u.l.ts, they would almost certainly become a true Legendary powerhouse. It seemed that the differences in standards of the High Elves could only be distinguished at the Sanctuary-realm. However, there were still many Sanctuary powerhouses among the High Elves.

  Compared to the High Elves, human beings were indeed rather terrible at magic. For most human mages, the Legendary-realm was far-fetched and an insurmountable moat. The more exaggerated thing was that even below the Legendary-realm, almost every level could be considered a threshold. Some were stuck at level-15, and could not advance to become an Archmage, while some were stuck at level-10 and could not pass the threshold to become a Magic Shooter, and some could not even become a mage apprentice. They could not feel magical elements at all. Hence, they could only resort to selecting simple professions which only required the use of power like Warriors, Assassins, and so on. Every outstanding mage often had extremely high attainments in martial arts.

  However, humans had an advantage that the High Elves could not compare to, and that was the vast population of humans. Although the High Elves had a long lifespan, their reproduction ability was weak. Even in their heyday, there were only a few hundred thousand High Elves. However, it was a different case for humans. Even though the lifespan of humans was only a few dec
ades, their fertility trumped the reproduction rate of the High Elves.

  With a huge population base, they could form a team of mages that would outnumber the High Elves even if only one out of 1,000 people was selected. However, quantity did not equate to quality. Even if the humans had 1,000,000 Archmages, they would seem just like a bunch of ants to a real Sanctuary powerhouse. That was the reason the High Elves did not pay much attention to humans. In the face of a difference in realm, numbers were not significant at all. The advantage that the humans had as a large population was not considered an advantage in the eyes of the High Elves.

  However, Geresco, the God of Mages, managed to see that, and he also created a solution to turn that into a real advantage—the Magic Net Array. Under the connection induced by the Magic Net Array, everyone was a node of the magical network. All of the Archmages were connected, forming a huge network. The concept was akin to hundreds and thousands of weak wooden bars that would form a strong pillar that couldn't be broken when they were bundled together.

  Under the connection of the magic network, they would no longer be separate individuals, but parts of an entity that was the Magic Array. The Magic Array was a whole, and could even be regarded as a "person" who had the power of all the people in the network. Hence, the opponent of the Humerus Wyrm was not a group of 100-odd Archmages, but a "person" who possessed the enormous magical power of more than 100 Archmages.

  Although compared with the true Legendary powerhouses, Archmages still did not have an adequate understanding of the Rules, their specialty was something that even a true Legendary powerhouse could not do. They were flexible with their division and fusion, and could divide themselves according to needs. A true Legendary powerhouse could not split himself in two at once, but the mages that were connected by the magical network could do so. They could not only split into two or three, but they could split into more. That allowed their tactics to be more flexible, and also added variance. That was something that no genuine Legendary powerhouse could do.
