Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

by Zhuang Bifan

  The loud Battle Song resounded and echoed through the space, and the Holy Light caused all of the golden light in the palace to dart away, forming a dense white band of light around the expedition. The Skinning Walkers that charged towards them like lightning immediately slowed down greatly after they reached the white light, as if they were stuck in a swamp. They couldn't help but reveal their ugly appearances1.

  Immediately afterwards, the Holy Light Knights waved their Cross Spears, and began killing the Skinning Walkers mercilessly. The Skinning Walkers who had lost their speed almost had their power reduced by half. The addition of the strong purification of Holy Light caused their physique to weaken drastically. The Skinning Walkers that fell into the range of the Holy Light Battle Song could barely make an effective counter against the attacks of the Holy Light Knights. All that was left was their miserable shrieks of indignation and fury.

  The appearance of the Skinning Walkers did not stop the expedition, and at the same time that the Holy Light Knights were killing them, they still maintained the same advancing speed. Seeing this, the members of the expedition felt a sense of relief as it seemed that the world was not as difficult to deal with as the previous two worlds.

  However, at this time, Lin Li did not seem too relaxed. Instead, he even frowned slightly. The appearance of the Skinning Walkers made him even more certain that this place was related to the Well of the Sun in the Endless World. With the knowledge of the Endless World that he had in his memories, Lin Li knew that the Skinning Walkers were actually just the beginning, and if the Well of the Sun had been that simple, he probably would not have been able to get the Stars of Fury back then in the Endless World.

  Seeing that the Skinning Walkers could not pose a threat to the expedition at all, Donald was inevitably a little tempted by the treasures that might exist in this palace. Hence, he walked towards Lin Li, and softly asked, "Master Felic, should we search this entire palace?"

  In the past, Donald used to only address Lin Li as President Felic. Although it was not considered impolite, he was somewhat disdainful of Lin Li's position. After all, he was the Chief Imperial Mage of the Rotterdam Kingdom, while Lin Li was just the President of a nameless, minor force. Anyone would be able to see the massive difference in status.

  However, Donald no longer dared to think that way now. Lin Li was a Sanctuary powerhouse who was both above all worldly power and close to the Brilliance Shrine. He would be able to get rid of Donald and his team easily. If he were to get up to some scheming tricks again, it would be no different from seeking death.

  While Donald was talking to Lin Li about that matter, Archbishop Martin walked towards them with the same thoughts in mind. After all, their purpose of going to that place was to search for the Immortal King's treasure. Now that they were facing such a resplendent and beautiful palace, they would naturally think that there had to be a precious collection of treasures inside to match it.

  However, Lin Li did not explain anything. He simply calmly said, "Continue advancing."

  Hearing such a reply from Lin Li, Donald couldn't help but sulk, but after thinking about his qualms, he had no choice but to hang his head low. To him, whether or not he could gain something was no longer the most important thing. The most important thing was whether he could leave this place safely with his team.

  Given the relationship between the Brilliance Shrine and the Tower of Dusk, Archbishop Martin of course did not have as many worries as Donald, but he understood that Lin Li definitely had his reasons to say that. Hence, he did not ask any questions.

  Lin Li definitely had his reasons to stop them from exploring the palace. However, it was not because he did not want to share the treasures with them, but because he knew that there was actually nothing valuable here anymore.

  In the beginning, when Lin Li had explored the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, he had actually had the same thoughts as Donald and the others, thinking that there would definitely be a massive amount of wealth in such a magnificent and majestic palace. However, after spending a long period of time searching, Lin Li had no choice but to conclude that it was only gilded on the outside and empty on the inside.

  Although there were all sorts of dangerous magic traps and mechanisms in the Well of the Sun, many of which were at the Master-level, logically speaking, ordinary Abyssal Demons would have no means to break them. However, after exploring, Lin Li discovered that the magic traps and magic gears there had long become ineffective—not because someone had cracked them, but because they had lost their mana source, and could no longer be activated.

  That was also something that confused Lin Li at that time. The Well of the Sun was originally the palace of the High Elves, and the mana sources for the magic gears and magic traps were at least Legendary magical crystals, whose greatest feature was that they could constantly and automatically replenish their own mana. The effects were similar to the mediation of mages. Although they were not really inexhaustible, they were more than enough to last thousands of years.

  Lin Li had only found out the real reason for the breakdown of the mana sources later when he had broken into the depths of the Well of the Sun. Now that Lin Li had seen the Skinning Walkers, he knew that it was extremely similar to the Endless World's Well of the Sun. Hence, there was no need to waste precious time once again.

  The Abyssal Demons were intelligent as well, and they were not at all inferior to humans, as they knew to collect good items. Without the protection of magic gears and magic traps, how could the Abyssal Demons be deterred? After numerous years, the Abyssal Demons had already scavenged the Well of the Sun, and all of the magical gemstones that were embedded in the murals had been dug up.

  However, that was too complicated to explain, and Lin Li couldn't say that he had explored the Well of the Sun once in another world which allowed him to know that there were no longer any treasures there. Fortunately, both Archbishop Martin and Donald did not dare to raise any objections to his proposal. Hence, he did not have to waste his breath on it.

  The expedition continued to delve deeper into the Well of the Sun while resisting the attacks of the Skinning Walkers. However, a new Abyssal Demon soon joined the battle.

  It was a type of Charming Demon that did not look like what they were called. In fact, they were hideous, with swollen bodies and countless tentacles that only looked disgusting. The reason they were called Charming Demons was because their bodies were emitting a psychedelic vibe at every moment. At the same time they also secreted sticky substances that had strong aphrodisiac effects.

  In the beginning, there were people who collected the mucus from these demons, and used it to prepare a strong aphrodisiac in the Endless World. Of course, the aphrodisiac was not meant for malicious actions. In the world of the game, o.b.s.c.e.n.e things were prohibited. Instead, it was meant for cultivating precious magical beasts as pets.

  However, Anril was not the world in the game. There would at most be some abnormal states, but in this world, the aphrodisiac of the Charming Demons was highly potent. Hence, Lin Li did not take the appearance of those Charming Demons lightly. He immediately commanded the Mages to attack the disgusting Charming Demons while also taking out his debris of the stars, Holy Light, that was far purer than the Divine Power of the Brilliance Shrine's team. It immediately shrouded the entire team.

  When Lin Li had explored the Well of the Sun back then, he simply relied on his own strength, and his profession was Hunter. Although his attacking power had not been weak, he still had had a hard time dealing with the Charming Demons.

  However, things were different now. The pathetic defense of the Charming Demons was as good as useless under the bombardment of offensive spells launched by the mages of the Tower of Dusk's team. It probably means they'd been so fast they'd become blurred either.

  However, under the bombardment of offensive spells, the Charming Demons would explode with a huge amount of aphrodisiac that wo
uld be almost as thick as mist. Even the golden rays of light ubiquitous in the palace would be obscured. Fortunately, Lin Li had used the power of Holy Light and made it engulf the entire expedition. Otherwise, even if the Charming Demons were all annihilated, the people of the expedition would immediately become beasts in heat.

  If all the members of the expedition team were in heat, it would definitely be an absolute disaster. However, for the Abyssal Demons, the influence of the aphrodisiac made them experience a surge in strength, which was similar to when orcs used Berserking Skills. All of a sudden, the attacks launched by the Abyssal Demons became even more ferocious and menacing, as if they had become Undead creatures. They did not care about their injuries at all.

  However, in the face of this, the mages of the Tower of Dusk also immediately changed their tactics by beginning to use offensive Ice spells to deal with the Charming Demons. As the offensive Ice spells landed, the plump Charming Demons immediately became ice sculptures before getting crushed by the Abyssal Demons rushing up from behind. That left the aphrodisiac of the Charming Demons with no chance to explode and spread in a large area.

  As the expedition continued to delve deeper, the Abyssal Demons that surged out from all sides increased in number. Besides, they were not just Skinning Walkers and Charming Demons. There were also more strong and powerful demons. There were Rock Demons that were formed from black rocks, nine-headed demonic snakes, Abyssal Pygmies with short bodies, large-sized Black Iron Demonic Apes, Winged Angels that flew in the sky, Abyssal Assassins whose bodies were like phantoms, and so on.

  Those Abyssal Demons did not belong to the same layer of the abyss in the first place, and some of them were even rivals. Once they met, they would definitely fight to death. However, in here, they seemed to have put all rivalry behind them, and became comrades in war. Obviously, there had to be a powerful existence above them that had absolute dominance over them and which they couldn't resist.

  This time, the team of the Rotterdam Kingdom put in more effort to perform harder for the sake of pleasing Lin Li, the Sanctuary powerhouse. Firstly, the Alchemy Colossuses in front wasted no time in exerting a powerful offensive role to maintain the advancing speed of the expedition.

  The various Alchemy Arrays on the Alchemy Colossuses' bodies flickered continuously as they ferociously attacked the Rock Demons and other Abyssal Demons that were getting in their way with their iron fists. There were sounds of vigorous clashing, with sparks of collision and stone ch.i.p.s flying everywhere. The Alchemy Colossuses seemed to be bent on clearing up a path among the Abyssal Demons even if they had to slam their bodies against them.

  Besides, that was indeed the case. Faced with the Alchemy Colossuses' tyrannical way of opening up a path, there were very few Abyssal Demons that could block the team even for a moment. After all, the Alchemy Colossuses were steel machines, and the Abyssal Demons were not Undead creatures. They would definitely feel it even when the rocks on their bodies were damaged.

  In fact, it was precisely such a battle that gave the Alchemy Colossuses a greater advantage that no creature could ever imitate. The vanguard that the 20 Alchemy Colossuses formed in front of the expedition was like a group of large machines that cleared up the path. Amidst the continuous sound of roaring, they moved forward unstoppably, clearing up a path amidst the demons.

  Seeing such a situation, the members of the team of the Brilliance Shrine couldn't help but be secretly startled. The construction of an Alchemy Colossus was not simple at all. Otherwise, if there was really a large number of such Alchemy Colossuses that formed a steel torrent, it would probably sweep through the entire Anril.

  The 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons behind the Alchemy Colossuses were not put away. Instead, they were also moving and continuously emitting rays of mana that were as thick as buckets. The mana cannons were invincible against enemies below the Legendary-level. Even Abyssal Demons like the Black Iron Demonic Apes, which were known for their defensive power, would be pierced by a single cannon shot when facing the light from the mana cannons.

  However, the only thing that was a pity was that although the light from the mana cannons was powerful, they consumed a shocking number of magical crystals as well. Level-10 magical crystals were basically used up in just a single shot. Level-15 magical crystals were only enough to launch a few to a dozen volleys. The magical crystals harvested previously during the exploration were almost depleted, and they probably would have to use the ones from their personal stash in no time. Unless they could reach their original goal, the expedition this time would definitely be a huge loss.

  Actually, that was not Donald's last resort. He just had to prove the value of his team's presence, like what Lin Li had said to him when they were in the Undead World. If they were of no value, they would only end up being abandoned. Through the previous experiences, Donald learned that if his team was left alone, not a single of its members would leave alive, let alone reach their goal.

  In fact, compared to the previous battle, the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom faced tremendous pressure, but the situation looked much better thanks to Donald's desperate attempt to attack at all costs. Donald was anguished when he was commanding. After all, Alchemy Colossuses were very precious even to the Rotterdam Kingdom, and every little bit of damage would cost a great deal of money to repair later on.

  However, Donald gradually had some enlightenment when he watched the Alchemy Colossuses that were fighting in front. Shouldn't the battles of Alchemy Colossuses be like this? The Alchemy Colossuses themselves were offensive weapons, and their battles should be intense and violent. Even if they had to use their own bodies to slam against the enemies, they had to break through the obstacles in front of them.

  The Alchemy Colossus had always been a cutting-edge weapon in the Rotterdam Kingdom, and the materials used in its manufacture had to be rare and excellent. Otherwise, using ordinary materials would be an insult to the Alchemy Colossus. Naturally, every single Alchemy Colossus was high in value, so they were even more careful when using them for fear that the Alchemy Colossuses would be damaged.

  However, doing so would go against the significance of the existence of the Alchemy Colossuses, and cause the Alchemy Colossuses to be unable to play an effective role in battle. If they could not bear to use the Alchemy Colossuses, what was the point of building them? A true Alchemy Colossus should be constructed with the most common materials and crush all enemies in its path with its massive kinetic power and defense during battles.

  Thinking about the current construction cost of each Alchemy Colossus, he realized that if he were to build them using ordinary materials, he would be able to build 10 at the same cost. Besides, even if ordinary materials were used, the role they could play on the battlefield would definitely not be inferior to that of the delicate Alchemy Colossus. However, the combat power displayed by more than 10 Alchemy Colossuses made of ordinary materials would definitely be far greater than that of a single Alchemy Colossus that was built with precious materials.

  Of course, even though he had figured this out, Donald was still feeling the pinch. After all, the Alchemy Colossuses that were being used now were not built with ordinary materials.

  The Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom were fighting hard without hesitation and concern for anything else, causing the expedition's speed to be unaffected by the demons at all. They were pushing through the demons and roaring like steel chariots. On the other hand, the Holy Light Knights of the Brilliance Shrine were teaming up and singing the Holy Light Battle Song on both sides of the expedition. They continuously charged towards the demons that rushed up from the sides like spinning blades that were mounted on wheels of steel chariots.

 
In the middle of the team, the priests of the Brilliance Shrine were continuously enhancing the Holy Light Knights with all sorts of theurgy, while the mages of the Tower of Dusk's team cleared the Abyssal Demons that were surging in with long-range attacks. After the numerous battles previously, the three teams from the three forces of the expedition had made considerable progress in improving their coordination.

  Under Lin Li's command, the expedition continuously adjusted their direction, advancing rapidly towards the deepest part of the palace against the intense attacks of the Abyssal Demons. Fortunately, Lin Li had had some experience in exploring the Well of the Sun previously. Otherwise, finding a proper route in the massive maze-like palace would not be an easy thing.

  However, as the expedition delved deeper, the Abyssal Demons that appeared around them became more and more powerful. Even the powerful Abyssal Demon Dragons had also appeared. The Well of the Sun was just like a small Endless Abyss. Other than the demons that could not leave the Abyss, most of the demons that were commonly seen there were present.

  However, in order to ensure the speed of the expedition's advancement, the Legendary powerhouses of the team gradually joined the battle. No matter how ferocious the Abyssal Demons were, the role that the Legendary powerhouses could play in a battle at this level was massive. Archbishop Martin, Donald, and the Legendary powerhouses of the Tower of Dusk would be able to smoothly disintegrate the Abyssal Demons' attacks with every move they made.

  The Alchemy Colossuses waved their iron fists, and blasted away enemies hampering the expedition's progress amidst the flickering light of the Alchemy Arrays on the Alchemy Colossuses. The loud and clear Battle Song echoed in the air as the Holy Light Knights crossed paths, causing the Abyssal Demons to become Souls of The Dead below the cross.

  The mages of the team were continuously chanting magic incantations, and magic spells blasted down against the expedition like mags. The Abyssal Demons roared and died amidst the magic spells. When faced with a powerful Abyssal Demon, the Legendary powerhouses left their team and joint forces. There were almost no demons that could last for a moment under their attacks.
