Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

by Zhuang Bifan

  It could be said that together, the two lists already contained almost all the valuable items in the Sky Castle. However, now that they had an additional partner, the Tower of Dusk, they decided to take out their lists so that they could find out what Lin Li wanted, and perhaps spare some for the Tower of Dusk after some discussion.

  To their surprise, Lin Li did not ask for anything after seeing the lists, and simply returned them while saying that he would take the items not included on the lists. In Archbishop Martin's and Donald's opinion, there was nothing else that would be valuable left. Of course, they wouldn't have thought that the purpose of Lin Li's visit was actually the entire Sky Castle. That was obviously not on the list.

  The last time Lin Li had explored the Sky Castle, he did not have a clear goal. Hence, as soon as he exited the Teleportation Portal, he headed straight to the Central Tower because everyone knew that the treasures there were the most valuable.

  However, it was different this time. The people of the Rotterdam Kingdom wanted to go to the control center to find that so-called lost treasure, while the Brilliance Shrine was going to another place to get that crown. Besides, the items stated on their lists were not placed in the same location, or rather, no one knew exactly where they were all kept. Hence, they would definitely have to conduct a large-scale search.

  Hence, it was inevitable for them to have different opinions again. After all, the area of the Sky Castle was too large, and they had to take into consideration a Ghost that might be in the Sanctuary-realm. Everyone wanted to reach their goal first so that they would have no regrets in escaping even if they failed to defeat the enemy.

  However, regarding that issue, Lin Li was not going to compromise easily. He could forgo the items on the lists, but his goal, which was the Central Tower of the Sky Castle, could not be delayed in any way. Lin Li wanted to enter the Central Tower again. The other two teams could pick up the things along the way, but they couldn't go on a detour.

  Lin Li did not want the two teams to pull out and run away after getting what they wanted, thus leaving him alone to deal with the Ghost. If that happened, what would be the point of a cooperation? Hence, Lin Li thought that if the Ghost came out earlier, the three forces could cooperate and fight with it. If the Ghost refused to come out, they would have to at least obtain the controlling rights to the Sky Castle, so that even if the other two forces ended up running away, he could still suppress the Ghost with the power of the Sky Castle.

  This time, they finally saw the benefits of Lin Li's generosity. Since he said that he did not want any of the treasures on the list, would the other two forces still have the nerve to say anything more about that?

  Of course, it wasn't that those two forces had given up all their rights. They could still find themselves as many advantages as possible in terms of choosing the route for getting to the Central Tower. Apart from not being able to go around to the opposite side of the Sky Castle, they could still choose a good entry route within a certain range left and right of where they were now.

  The discussion mainly took place between Archbishop Martin and Donald. They all hoped to get as many benefits as possible before they ran into the Ghost. Hence, the discussion got rather heated as well. Lin Li did not care how agitated they were while arguing. He would only interject and bring them back to reality when they got too much into detouring.

  After a heated argument, the two parties finally agreed on an entry route. They decided to enter through a spot that was not too far from them. Actually, the most important point was that the streets there appeared wider than in the other places, thus making it more suitable for the teams of the three forces, especially since they had the Alchemy Colossuses from the Rotterdam Kingdom.

  Regardless, the cooperation's layout was considered to be all settled, and everyone was relieved. Not wanting to waste any more time, Archbishop Martin and Donald stood up to bid farewell to Lin Li. After settling on a time, they eagerly returned to make preparations for exploring the Sky Castle.

  Lin Li sent the three of them out of the camp, and when he returned, he gathered the team together with Master Basel to prepare for entering the Sky Castle. Angelano, who was dressed in a fancy and colorful outfit, went to him proudly to inform him that he had taught the mages about the weaknesses of the Rotterdam Kingdom's Alchemy Colossus.

  Chapter 934 - Thorough

  The preparations of the teams from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom were made rather quickly. Soon, the three forces met each other, and arrived at the place in the Sky Castle that they had agreed upon previously.

  In order to set up the Central Tower, the layout of the Sky Castle's buildings was rather strange. If one were to look into the Sky Castle, they would be able to see the Central Tower, but they would have to take a long detour.

  When Lin Li first explored the Sky Castle, he only brought two Undead servants with him. Hence, he did not even have to consider whether the streets were wide enough or not. He simply chose the best route, and thus managed to reach the Central Tower in the shortest time possible. Now, the members of the teams of the three forces amounted to 1,000 people. The Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom would take up even more space, so it would be impossible to take a shortcut. Hence, when discussing the route earlier, Lin Li allowed Archbishop Martin and Donald to continue arguing.

  When they arrived at the entrance to the street, the teams of the three forces followed the plan that they had discussed and settled on previously. The Rotterdam Kingdom's team would be responsible for pushing with the Alchemy Colossuses in front, while the knights of the Brilliance Shrine would be responsible for guarding the flanks of the team, and the priests would be protected in the middle, ready to enchant the people around them with Holy Light Magic at any time. As for the Tower of Dusk's team, they stayed at the back. To put it nicely, they were defending the back, and to put it bluntly, they were just sitting back and watching the ones in front fight to death.

  If one looked in from the entrance of the street, the scene would look bright and clear. The Central Tower in the distance was surrounded by all sorts of buildings with irregular height. However, when the expedition entered the street, thick fog suddenly surged in the surroundings. In the fog, one's vision was compressed to a limit of about 100 meters. All the objects beyond that distance would be completely blocked by the fog.

  However, the people in the team were in the end elites of the various forces. They did not panic or become fl.u.s.tered because of the changes. The entire team was still orderly.

  Still, at this moment, Lin Li was secretly shocked. He did not sense the activation of the magic gears at all. Hence, the release of the fog was clearly due to someone's secret manipulation. The most likely culprit was the Ghost that was still nowhere to be found.

  The team slowly moved forward in the fog, and had only covered a distance of several hundred meters when the sounds of heavy footsteps suddenly came out of the fog in front, followed by a few massive figures that gradually became visible. It turned out to be a few Alchemy Colossuses.

  Those several Alchemy Colossuses were not any larger than the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Instead, they were much smaller and shorter. However, every part of their bodies was even, and they had a streamlined silhouette. Unfortunately, the bodies of those Alchemy Colossuses were devoid of any metallic l.u.s.ter, and instead had a dull gray color which made them look like they had decayed.

  When Lin Li first explored the Sky Castle, he encountered very few obstacles, but he heard from the elves that they had encountered the attacks of some Alchemy Colossuses. Those Alchemy Colossuses were not controlled by humans, but were a type of magical weapon that fused the High Elv
es with Undead creatures.

  Compared to Alchemy Colossuses controlled by humans, those magical weapons were much more agile and flexible in their movements. Each could be considered a human with a metal body. Actually, they were somewhat similar to the alchemy puppets that Lin Li had obtained from the Immortal King's laboratory, but were larger and more powerful.

  Upon sight of the Alchemy Colossuses, numerous metallurgists from the Rotterdam Kingdom's team couldn't help but shriek in shock. With excitement written all over his face, Donald said, "Catch them, but don't destroy them."

  To the people of the Rotterdam, those gray Alchemy Colossuses were a massive amount of wealth just because of the technology they were created with. Hence, Donald's first thought was not to destroy the enemy and advance forward, but to capture the Alchemy Colossuses and study them.

  However, each of the gray Alchemy Colossuses possessed Legendary-level strength, and the technology used within them were superior-grade, while the flexibility of the manipulation of Undead creatures allowed them to have combat power that greatly surpassed that of the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom. It would not be an easy task to defeat the gray Alchemy Colossuses, let alone capture them.

  They covered 100 meters in the blink of an eye. The Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom and the several gray Alchemy Colossuses collided forcefully. It was an extremely violent and direct fighting style which was similar to a low-level street fight between gangsters. However, it seemed shocking when it came to Alchemy Colossuses. The ground beneath their feet trembled during the fierce battle, and the sound of a violent collision was deafening.

  However, the people of the Rotterdam soon discovered that if their Alchemy Colossuses were like low-level gangsters from the streets, the other party would undoubtedly be considered warriors with good martial art skills. One reason was that human manipulation wasn't as flexible as the manipulation done by Undead creatures. Another reason was the fact that Donald had ordered them to capture the Alchemy Colossuses, thus somewhat restraining the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam.

  If it was in an open area, they might really be able to capture those several gray Alchemy Colossuses with the number of Alchemy Colossuses they had. However, even though they were already on the widest street, they still could not let the Rotterdam Kingdom's Alchemy Colossuses encircle the enemies.

  "Destroy them, don't waste any time." Seeing this situation, Donald had no choice but to bear with his reluctance, give up on the idea of capturing the Alchemy Colossuses, and order them to end it quickly.

  As soon as they heard Donald's order for them to end the battle quickly, the Alchemy Colossuses immediately broke free, and their attacks suddenly became much more vicious and unrestrained. After all, the Rotterdam Kingdom had been studying Alchemy Colossuses for thousands of years, and their combat power was actually still incredible. In particular, the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom also had a set of coordinated battle techniques that were similar to human battle formations. They could exert great combat power too.

  Although those gray Alchemy Colossuses were powerful, and had reached the Legendary-level, Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom outnumbered them, and they had specialized battle techniques as well, thus causing the gray Alchemy Colossuses to each face the ferocious attacks of three Alchemy Colossuses at the same time.

  The Rotterdam Kingdom had been researching Alchemy Colossuses for thousands of years, and although they might not be able to compare to the gray Alchemy Colossuses in terms of technology, in the end, they actually had a lot of weaknesses in common. For example, the joints of the Alchemy Colossus were weaknesses that all metallurgists knew about. However, due to the high demand for flexibility in the joints, no one had really overcome that problem even until now.

  Of course, the weaknesses of the gray Alchemy Colossuses were present in those of the Rotterdam Kingdom as well. However, in the current battle, there were at least more Alchemy Colossuses from the Rotterdam Kingdom with specialized battle tactics where there were ways to assist each other while dealing with the enemies by targeting their weaknesses. That was actually the same as the human battle formations. However, due to the conditions of the Alchemy Colossus, it might not be as complex and flexible as the human battle formations.

  The battle increased in intensity all of a sudden. In fact, one could even see the clashing waves of sound stirring in the fog. However, a moment later, silence was restored. The several gray Alchemy Colossuses had already been paralyzed and deformed as they fell onto the ground. The red eyes in their heads gradually dimmed as well.

  That was the difference between an Alchemy Colossus and humans. Even if the gray Alchemy Colossuses had reached the Legendary-level, while those of the Rotterdam Kingdom were only at level-19, the difference was not massive as people thought.

  Human Legendary powerhouses would never be threatened when facing a few level-19 attackers, be it the mages or Sword Sages. Annihilating them would be easy. However, only the power of the Alchemy Colossus was strong, not its realm. The difference in sheer strength could be made up for through various methods. As long as there were enough of them, even ants would be able to bite an elephant to death. Besides, the difference between an Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam and a gray Alchemy Colossus was not the same as that between an ant and an elephant.

  Looking at the shattered gray Alchemy Colossuses, Donald stopped showing a reluctant gaze. He did not make anyone pack up the mutilated wreckage, either, even though there might still be something worth studying in those remains. Instead, he directly ordered them to move on.

  The combat power displayed by the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam was still rather shocking, especially to the team from the Brilliance Shrine. While they had worked with the people of the Rotterdam way earlier, it was their first time seeing such a battle. Although the people from Brilliance Shrine did not say anything, the expressions on their faces were a little more somber.

  In the eyes of the people of Brilliance Shrine, facing those Alchemy Colossuses would indeed be tricky as they were all like metal fortresses. Be it physical or magical defense, they were already strong enough to reach an intimidating stage. Although the Holy Light Magic of the Brilliance Shrine was not only effective against Undead creatures, its power was definitely reduced when used against the incredible defensive abilities of the Alchemy Colossuses.

  At the back of the team, the people of the Tower of Dusk watched the battle of the Alchemy Colossuses. Although they were shocked as well, they had other thoughts in mind. The mages of the Tower of Dusk's team had long learned about the weaknesses of the Rotterdam's Alchemy Colossus. Hence, at this moment, they mostly thought about putting themselves in opposition against the Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam Kingdom and things they would do to defeat them using the methods taught by Angelano.

  Chapter 935 - Deadly Ambush

  The team started advancing again, but before they could go far, a few gray Alchemy Colossuses emerged from the fog again. This time, there was no need for a special order from Donald, as the Alchemy Colossuses at the front rushed forward and took the initiative to pounce on the enemies without hesitation. They launched a ferocious attack and aimed to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time.

  Of course, the combat style of the Alchemy Colossuses was not just a brutal melee. They would also cast offensive spells using the Alchemy Arrays on their bodies. However, the thick fog around them not only blocked their vision, it also greatly affected their other senses. It was impossible to extend their detection radius with mental strength too.

  The fog had greatly reduced the range of danger detection of the team, and by the time the enemy emerged, the latter would already be only a few hundred meters awa
y. Such a distance was considered very short for ordinary warriors and mages, let alone the massive offensive spells. Usually, the enemies would appear right before them after they cast just one offensive spell.

  The two types of Alchemy Colossuses collided forcefully again with incessant loud sounds. The Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom soon got the upper hand, and suppressed the gray Alchemy Colossuses ferociously. However, at this moment, one of the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom suddenly stopped. Not only did it disturb their own battle tactics, it also turned around to attack its companions.

  "Watch out, it's a mental spell. There are still enemies in the thick fog!" Archbishop Martin cautioned as he raised his staff, after which a pillar of Holy Light descended out of thin air, and landed on the berserk Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam.

  It was a ray of Light of Salvation which could dispel fear, confusion, charm, and other various negative spiritual influences on the target. As the pillar landed, the Alchemy Colossus that was attacking its companions immediately stopped all of its movements.

  Following Archbishop Martin's movements, the Holy Light priests around him raised their staffs together, and chanted a short verse of a prayer, scattering the Light of Salvation onto the other Alchemy Colossuses that were fighting the enemies.

  The Light of Salvation was not only used to dispel negative spiritual influences, but also served to strengthen one's willpower and faith. After the Light of Salvation vanished, a layer of Holy Light halo faintly engulfed the massive bodies of the Alchemy Colossuses. The controllers of the Alchemy Colossus gained a certain immunity to the negative mental spells for a while.

  At the same time, a bunch of corporeal Vengeful Spirits charged out of the thick fog behind the erupting offensive spells while roaring. Although they were Undead creatures of the lowest level inferior to Skeletal Warriors, they would have Legendary-level power once they condensed into physical form. Such entities were extremely immune to both magical and physical attacks. At the same time, they were also stronger in martial arts and Necromagic. The changes in the Alchemy Colossus of the Rotterdam Kingdom just now were undoubtedly caused by them.
