  However, the space that they were in had become a projection of the world of the Undead. Apart from the intense death aura, there were no other elements at all. Under such circ.u.mstances, even if one possessed excellent magical equipment, they would not be able to exert one percent of their usual power.

  The mages of the Tower of Dusk soon discovered that issue, and changed their tactics. They stopped attacking the army of Undead creatures with their magic storm, and instead placed the army of Undead creatures in front of them before using precision strikes to improve the utilization of mana. However, that method actually did not solve the root cause of the problem. Although the usage of mana had become much more reasonable, there would still be a time when the mana ran out since they were facing an infinite amount of Undead creatures.

  Actually, the situation on the Tower of Dusk's side was not too bad. The people of the Rotterdam had already replaced the magical crystals of the Alchemy Colossuses several times before, and were running out of magical crystals. The priests and knights of the Brilliance Shrine had begun using potions to replenish their own power. However, to put it bluntly, no amount of potions would be enough, as they would just allow them to barely survive.

  Compared to the previous battle with the Elemental Dragon, the current battle with the Undead creatures wasn't really considered thrilling. The Undead creatures were continuously surging towards them. The three teams seemed to be effortlessly destroying the Undead creatures and repeating the process continuously. However, that was what made them feel even more hopeless, and they were on the verge of losing their minds—no matter how many Undead creatures they destroyed, it would not be of any help.

  That was the battle tactic of the Necromancer. It was simple yet extremely shameless. It was just like using water to grind away the edges of a stone. He used the Undead creatures with infinite combat power to suffocate his opponents to the point of death by exhaustion.

  "President Felic, Master Donald, we must hurry and think of a solution. If this goes on, sooner or later we'll be worn to death by this group of Undead creatures." Considering that the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Rotterdam Kingdom was strained, Archbishop Martin, the middleman who facilitated the cooperation, decided to step in and say something.

  Soon, Lin Li and Donald each left their own teams and arrived at the spot where the team from the Brilliance Shrine was. Even though the situation had reached this point, Lin Li still had a calm expression. He could just use the control crystal and leave with his underlings. There was nothing too hopeless about it. However, Donald's face was extremely sullen. The situation of their team was much tougher than the Brilliance Shrine's. Besides, unlike Lin Li, they did not have a backup solution.

  "These Undead creatures can never be destroyed completely. The root cause of the problem is still those 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers. We have to think of a way to destroy those towers, otherwise it'd be useless no matter how many Undead creatures we destroy." Actually, everyone was well aware of the problem that Donald mentioned. However, it was one thing to know the issue, and another to solve it.

  "Indeed, the only way to break through this space is by destroying those Double-Realm Psychic Towers. However, with our current strength, we probably won't be able to afford to shelve out sufficient numbers to do it. If the amount of powerhouses we send out is too small, we won't be able to complete the task. If the force we dispatch is too strong, the ones remaining here probably won't be able to resist these Undead creatures…" Archbishop Martin said helplessly with a frown. Now that they were faced with a dilemma, he could not think of a solution.

  Although he knew that the fundamental problem was those Double-Realm Psychic Towers, they were not meant to be destroyed. Every tower had to be supported by a powerful Necromancer.

  If they were in any other environment, Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the rest would not feel conflicted as long as there were no Necromancers in the Sanctuary-realm. However, with the help of the Double-Realm Psychic Towers, even level-20 Necromancers would have their combat power increased to the peak of the Legendary-level. Their vitality would be extremely strong, and they would become nearly immortal, making them become difficult opponents.

  Now that they were facing the oppression of the army of Undead creatures, the teams of the three forces were already doing their best to resist. How could they have the spare energy to destroy the towers? Just like what Archbishop Martin had said, dispatching an insufficiently strong force would make it impossible for them to achieve the goal at all, but if they were to send out more powerhouses, the remaining forces wouldn't be enough to slow down the infinite army of Undead creatures.

  "How about this? I'll deal with the Undead creatures while you destroy those towers." Lin Li suddenly made an unexpected suggestion that made others feel like he was somewhat arrogant.

  He was offering to deal with the entire army of Undead creatures alone. Didn't that mean that he was trying to say that he was stronger than the three teams combined!? Upon hearing that suggestion, the first thing that Archbishop Martin and Donald thought was that Lin Li was out of his mind. However, thinking about how Lin Li had easily killed the Elemental Dragon and the numerous Ghost Mages previously, they felt that that did not seem to be something that someone at the peak of the Legendary-realm could do. Perhaps he could really resist the Undead creatures and help them buy some time to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Towers.

  "President Felic, will that not be… too difficult? Why don't you let our teams do that while your team stays and helps you resist those Undead creatures together?" Archbishop Martin suggested, feeling a little worried. After all, Lin Li was the person Pope Rosario claimed was the Son of The Holy Light. If anything really went wrong with the Son of The Holy Light, no amount of treasures he obtained from the Sky Castle would be able to make up for the loss.

  "No need, the key now is to concentrate the elite forces and break through this space. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us."

  Lin Li was not a selfless person. However, if possible, he would not want to flee the Sky Castle just like that. After all, he and Highlord Osric had already formed a huge feud with each other. He did not want Osric to take control of the Sky Castle and look for him one day.

  Archbishop Martin and Donald originally still had some doubts about Lin Li's strength. However, at this moment, Lin Li pointed the Helios' Scepter at the army of Undead creatures, after which countless burning meteors and huge chunks of ice whistled in the sky and fell on them. In an instant, the army of Undead creatures was split in two, and apart from the Undead creatures that had rushed closer to fight the three teams, a large empty spot appeared at the back. They could only see the army of Undead creatures pouring in from a spot that was further away.

  "Hurry up," Lin Li said to the two of them sternly without further explanations as he turned around.

  Seeing that, Archbishop Martin and Donald were shocked, but they also finally gained some confidence in Lin Li's strength. They both knew in their hearts that this might be their last chance, so neither of them paid any attention to Lin Li's tone. Instead, they instantly ordered their teams to regroup and withdraw from the battle in front.

  Likewise, the team from the Tower of Dusk had also received Lin Li's orders and left Lin Li to fight at the frontline. After meeting up with the teams from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom, they began retreating again. The Double-Realm Psychic Tower that was the closest to them was naturally the one they passed on their way here in the avenue square where they fought the Elemental Dragon.

  However, their current path was not unobstructed, as it was already crowded with the Undead creatures that were pouring in. The three teams gathered all of their
power, while the several Legendary powerhouses charged towards the Double-Realm Psychic Towers quickly without restraint.

  After the three teams left, Lin Li was the only one left to face the Undead creatures. Although his strength had changed drastically after stepping into the Sanctuary-realm, it was still not an easy task to deal with such an endless army of Undead at this time.

  Although Lin Li had wielded his Helios' Scepter and destroyed countless Undead creatures, they were, in fact, just the cannon fodder of the army of Undead creatures. Perhaps it was because they had sensed the intentions of the expedition, but the Undead creatures that were surging in were no longer just the Skeletal Warriors that were used as cannon fodder. There were also many other high-level Undead creatures like the Skeletal Mages, the Vampires, Skeletal Beasts, and many others. The Legendary-level Undead creatures made up the majority. In fact, there were hundreds of Humerus Wyrms that tried to fly above Lin Li's head in a bid to destroy the team aiming for the Double-Realm Psychic Towers.

  However, even if those Humerus Wyrms did not attack him, Lin Li would not let them off. His current mission was not to destroy numerous Undead creatures, but to block them there so as to leave the expedition with no worries. Regardless of whether they were running on land or flying in the sky, he could not miss a single one.

  That would be difficult. It was no longer a matter of strength. Even if he was a Sanctuary powerhouse, he was, after all, still alone.

  Lin Li flew straight up into the air, and he had already put away the Helios' Scepter, replacing it with Holy Light and Gloomy Dark, the two pieces of the debris of the stars. Facing the Humerus Wyrms that were trying to pass him, Lin Li activated the power of the debris of the stars, and Angels of Light and Dark immediately condensed in the sky. They were flapping their black and white wings, and holding various weapons such as spears and swords.

  Ever since he had comprehended the killing move of the Light and Darkness Sword a long time ago, Lin Li had not used the Angels of Light and Dark. After all, in many high-level battles, the power of the Angels of Light and Dark was too weak. However, what Lin Li needed the most now was not concentrated power, but dispersed one. Only then could he truly cordon off the sky.

  However, Lin Li had already stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, after all. He had experienced a huge qualitative change in his power. The Angels of Light and Dark that he had condensed were also vastly different in strength as compared to before. Each of them had reached level-20, and they had also become much more agile during battles. They were no longer as stiff as before.

  Chapter 944 - Broken Tower

  Bang! A pillar of light fell on the body of a High Elven Lich.

  However, black fog flashed on the High Elven Lich's body, and it instantly engulfed the pillar of light that possessed great purification power, leaving no trace of it behind.

  After the High Elven Lich that was at the peak of the Legendary-realm joined the battle, the situation of the expedition became even worse. Although the High Elven Lich was also at the peak of the Legendary-level, it had become an invincible existence. Even the purification power of the Holy Light Magic could not hurt him at all. Even if the magic spells and explosions hit him and caused him some damage, his body would recover and become perfect again in the blink of an eye.

  Despite the combined strength of three teams and the numerous Legendary powerhouses that were facing the Double-Realm Psychic Tower, they sunk into a stalemate. It was undoubtedly ironic. However, they were not to be blamed for being incompetent. It was just that the Double-Realm Psychic Tower was too magical, and the Lich that was at the peak of the Legendary-realm did not seem like it could be killed no matter what they tried. Even if there were more Legendary powerhouses, it would not change the situation.

  As time passed, the strength of the expedition weakened, and they began to panic too. They did not know how long Lin Li was able to resist the Undead creatures while standing behind the team. Once Lin Li encountered issues, the catastrophe would strike, and there would be no more chance of them turning the situation around.

  However, the High Elven Lich in front of them was making them feel incredibly frustrated. The problem wasn't that they couldn't beat him, but that they couldn't kill him. Anyone who met such a shameless opponent would probably go crazy. The purification of the Holy Light was not effective, and neither was the burning of the flames. The extreme cold could not freeze him, and thunder and lightning were merely sound and light effects, respectively.

  Connoris landed on the head of a Humerus Wyrm, and stabbed it in its eye socket before pulling out a Legendary Dragon Crystal. He then kicked the dead Humerus Wyrm to the ground with both feet. In the blink of an eye, he had already killed more than 10 Humerus Wyrms to prevent them from disturbing those who were surrounding the High Elven Lich.

  However, Connoris was extremely displeased now. Several Legendary powerhouses were besieging the High Elven Lich, but there was still no progress after a long time. If that were to go on, they would have to flee. Connoris was now using the perfect body of the Highlord Osric, and he naturally did not want Osric to come knocking on his door one day and snatch the body that he had painstakingly obtained.

  "Don't get embroiled with those Undead creatures. Launch an all-out attack on the tower!" Connoris yelled ruthlessly. He swiftly swung his Eternal Frost Blade at the High Elven Lich, rapidly slashing it up to 100 times. All of a sudden, the High Elven Lich that was being attacked by several peak-Legendary powerhouses was slashed into pieces as numerous cuts covered his body.

  The crowd that had been alerted by Connoris immediately resorted to their strongest attacking methods upon seeing the situation, charging towards the Double-Realm Psychic Tower that had been controlled by the Lich.

  The light of various magic spells immediately shrouded the Double-Realm Psychic Tower with a deafening roar. However, the Lich that had been cut to pieces was soon revived again. In fact, it didn't seem weakened at all. With the support of the Lich, the power of the Double-Realm Psychic Tower also exploded once more, easily blocking all the attacks behind it.

  Seeing this, everyone's heart was in despair. In order to destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Tower, they had to kill the High Elven Lich, but in order to do that, they would have to first destroy the Double-Realm Psychic Tower. That was a problem that could not be solved!

  However, Connoris acutely discovered that although the Double-Realm Psychic Tower quickly blocked the attacks from behind, the attacks from the front had indeed caused some damage to the tower. However, with the revival of the High Elven Lich, the Double-Realm Psychic Tower was also recovering quickly.

  "Continue, don't stop!" Connoris yelled again. At the same time, he dodged and charged towards the High Elven Lich while continuously waving the Eternal Frost Blade in his hand. Rays of light from the blade pierced through the space and the defensive spells of the Lich before slashing it into pieces once more.

  Just like that, the expedition took advantage of the time taken for the Lich to recover, and attacked the Double-Realm Psychic Tower with all their might. After about more than 10 rounds, cobweb-like cracks had gradually appeared on the Double-Realm Psychic Tower. Finally, during another attack, there was a thumping sound, and countless fragments darted everywhere, revealing a different scene.

  As the shell of the Double-Realm Psychic Tower collapsed, the Lich that Connoris continuously slashed into pieces no longer revived. The ray of Holy Light cast by Archbishop Martin had completely purified it into nothingness.

  Upon sight of that scene, the team almost cheered and rejoiced. One of the Double-Realm Psychic Towers had been destroyed, but that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that they knew how to do it now. The Lich was not insusceptible to all attacks after all, but its soul fire would not be extinguished. Hence, no matter how damaged its body was, it would still be able to recover. However, recovery would take time, and even if it was just for a moment, the power gathered by the team woul
d be enough to cause damage to the Double-Realm Psychic Tower.

  After eliminating the remaining nearby Undead creatures, the expedition did not waste any time at all. According to the map of the Sky Castle, they immediately headed towards another Double-Realm Psychic Tower. Archbishop Martin shot a signal into the sky to inform Lin Li, who was far away, of the team's next goal. Otherwise, without Lin Li's protection, the expedition would soon be overwhelmed by the army of Undead creatures.

  The expedition was not weak. There were nearly 10 Legendary powerhouses. After mastering the method of destroying the Double-Realm Psychic Towers, their following actions would be a breeze. Besides, with the destruction of the Double-Realm Psychic Towers, the power of the Undead creatures plunged significantly. They became increasingly incapable of hampering the expedition's actions.

  Finally, after one day, the 36 Double-Realm Psychic Towers were destroyed by the expedition, and the ink-black cloud in the sky gradually became thinner as well. At last, it revealed the defensive light of the Sky Castle. The intense death aura had also vanished without a trace.

  "Felic, it's been hard on you." Seeing Lin Li fly back from afar, Archbishop Martin immediately greeted him. He knew that without Lin Li, who stood behind them to resist the Undead creatures, they would have never overcome the ordeal today.

  At this moment, Lin Li's appearance was no different from before. He did not look like he had gone through a tough battle at all. In comparison, the people of the expedition seemed much more pathetic and disheveled. Besides, the continuous attacks had also caused them to suffer plenty of casualties.

  In response to Archbishop Martin's greeting, Lin Li said a few polite words smilingly before walking to the Tower of Dusk's team. There were some injured in the Tower of Dusk's team, but they were much fewer compared to the other two forces's wounded.
