Chapter 1299: Disaster

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

According to what Connoris said, the Immortal King had barged straight into the 99th level of the Endless Abyss, and severely wounded the great demon deity Mosari, forcing the latter to leave the abyss and flee into the Endless Ocean. For Mosari who was born in the chaos and was almost immortal, broken limbs and decapitation were not severe injuries at all. Only the loss of his magic crystal was considered severe.

Perhaps because of the loss of the magical crystal, Mosari and the Gilded Kingdom made a certain demonic trade in the Endless Ocean to restore his strength in a somewhat inferior manner. Otherwise, given his identity as the great demon deity, how could Mosari possibly be willing to make a deal with mortals?

However, the current magical crystal was no longer sealed with any mark of Mosari’s, and was purely just a mana source for the Sky Castle. Lin Li’s main agenda when coming down this time was to transform this mana source, and increase the power limit of the Sky Castle by another notch.

Lin Li took out the Dragon Crystal of the Dragon of Destruction from the Ring of Endless Storm, and a dragon shadow could still be seen tossing around inside.

“Azardas, I found a new body for you, I hope you like it,” Lin Li said to the shadow in the Dragon Crystal.

Boom!

The phantom of a black dragon condensed in the sky above the Dragon Crystal, and as soon as it appeared, it waved its fist at Lin Li, and somewhat indignantly yelled, “Don’t sugarcoat your words and make yourself sound so nice.. I haven’t settled the scores with you for bringing me to this world. You’ve already ruined my body, are you going to insult my soul now?”

Lin Li grinned helplessly, and said, “The one who brought you here is the Immortal King, okay? Also, don’t say that I ruined your body, that’ll cause misunderstandings to arise. I was just putting waste to good use. Now that you’re in this Dragon Crystal, there’s nowhere else you can go at all. Why don’t you just fuse with my Sky Castle then? This body will definitely be stronger than your original body in the future. What else are you dissatisfied with?”

“Damn it, it’s like I owe you a living or something. Do whatever you want, anyway, I have no way to resist.” At this point, Azardas paused for a moment, and seemed to have recalled something as he said, “But, I have a request. You haven’t named the Sky Castle, have you? Why don’t you just call it the City of Destruction?”

“City of Destruction? What are you thinking? I think you are unlucky because of the word ‘destruction’ in your name. Are you thinking of bringing your bad luck to my Sky Castle!?” In fact, Lin Li did not care much about the name of the Sky Castle, but it couldn’t be too absurd. Besides, the City of Destruction seemed to sound unlucky.

However, Azardas seemed to be rather stubborn and adamant about that request. Hearing that Lin Li refused to agree, he immediately threw a tantrum. Being a transmigrator from the Endless World game, he was definitely skilled in all kinds of curses, and had a large repertoire that could allow him to curse for three days and nights without repeating himself.

“In the game, I was killed by you, and here I was tortured by the Immortal King. You even took my body apart to build a house. I’m already unfortunate enough, can’t you just grant me a small wish?!” Azardas did not simply curse, but when he saw that Lin Li wasn’t wavering at all, he immediately pretended to be pitiful again.

Lin Li still needed Azardas’ active cooperation in order to fuse Azardas’ soul with the Sky Castle, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked for the opinion of this unlucky guy at all. Seeing how stubborn Azardas was, Lin Li could only nod and say, “Fine, fine, I’ll call it the City of Destruction then. Quick, get into that magical crystal.”

“Don’t think of fooling me, if I find out you’re not keeping your promise, I’ll mess up and fall asleep during the critical moment,” Azardas threatened as he flew towards the large magical crystal with the Dragon Crystal.

Lin Li chanted an arcane incantation under his breath while drawing rays of mana light in the air with his fingers. On the other hand, Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, who was already close to the power core of the Sky Castle, gradually faded into the huge sun-like magical crystal Solar Sphere.

When everything was completed, the Sky Castle suddenly shook vigorously, and the flesh of the Dragon of Destruction wrapped around the surface of the Sky Castle, as if it had come to life in an instant. In the sky above the Sky Castle, a huge dragon-shaped phantom suddenly emerged from the void, and let out an earth-shattering roar while facing the sky.

Several layers of ripple-like waves that were visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions from the Sky Castle. Although its appearance didn’t seem to have changed much, everyone could clearly feel that the Sky Castle was different from before!

The soul of Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, became the controller of the Sky Castle’s power core, as if the Sky Castle was given its own soul. No matter how powerful the Sky Castle was, it was still just a lifeless building previously. However, it now became a powerful life, which was unprecedented.

Of course, Lin Li did not give the Sky Castle to Azardas, and merely let Azardas become something like a smart control system of the Sky Castle. If Azardas really wanted to rebel, Lin Li had plenty of means to chase him out, or even extinguish his soul.

Outside the Sky Castle, the huge phantom of the Dragon of Destruction dissipated like smoke in the blink of an eye after letting out a roar to vent his anger. That made the people in the Sky Castle, who saw that vision just now, think that they had been hallucinating. However, immediately afterwards, they discovered amazing inexplicable changes in the Sky Castle.

While everyone was marveling at the changes in the Sky Castle, Lin Li had already left the core power room, and arrived at the top terrace of the Omniscient Tower. Looking at the boundless sky around him, he fell deep in thought.

No one knew what Lin Li was thinking, but in the next few days, as long as they looked up at the top of the Omniscient Tower, they would be able to see Lin Li’s figure on that terrace all day and night, as if he were a statue.

Gavin and the other senior members of the Tower of Dusk gradually got a little nervous and worried as they wondered just what was going on with their president. Despite being curious, no one could go up to the top of the Omniscient Tower or have the courage to bother their president at this time.

Time passed day by day, and some people gradually found that the sky of Anril was no longer turquoise in color, and it was almost like it was dusk the entire day as the firmament seemed to be shrouded in a reddish hue. With the bizarre change, the magic tides that gave the mages a huge headache so far calmed down completely overnight.

At the same time, the air was also filled with a strange atmosphere, though it was unclear if everyone was depressed because of the changes in the sky, or if there was really a negative impact or influence. In short, in the next few days, it seemed that everyone’s emotions had become somewhat extreme, and there even seemed to be a few conflicts in the Sky Castle. Only when the power of the Twin Trees of Eternity and the cool aura filled the Sky Castle did the people in the Sky Castle quiet down.

However, there weren’t the same conditions on the mainland as on the Sky Castle. In just a few days, the conflicts that broke out because of trivial matters reached an unprecedented high. Besides, the situation was still developing rapidly, and a large-scale conflict had also broken out even in the Ledin Kingdom and Felan Kingdom as it seemed that someone was trying to take the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the royal family.

Next, disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, plagues, and so on broke out one after another in various parts of the mainland. More and more people began to spread the word that i was doomsday.

Finally, news came from the Darkness Shrine that the spacetime rift in the Eternal Darkness Altar had opened, and even the Eternal Darkness Altar, which was previously used to suppress the rift, had been sucked into it. However, fortunately, there were two Sanctuary powerhouses, namely Rogge and Sendros, on the Darkness Shrine’s side. Besides, Nefa had also reached some kind of agreement with the Darkness Shrine, so the Minotaurs and other magical beasts in the rift didn’t give them much trouble.

As for the Flame Dragon Lothar whose strength was at the demigod level, he had fallen into deep slumber again due to the power of the Tree of Eternity. Thus, when the spacetime rift erupted this time, Lothar didn’t wake up to create trouble for the Darkness Shrine. Currently, the Darkness Shrine was considered quite lucky in this disaster.

However, due to the fact that the power of the space rift had yet to be fully released, Lin Li didn’t seal it immediately.

Immediately after that, the Black Current of Sunset Mountains appeared the next day, and countless magical beasts gathered from all directions to form a horde of beasts that resembled the Black Current.

An even more terrifying thing was that the effects of the magic tides could affect not only humans. Besides, due to the fact that the bodies of the magical beasts were much stronger than ordinary humans, and they could absorb mana from magical crystals, the benefits that the magical beasts gained from the magic tides were far greater than those the human mages enjoyed.

In the Black Current in the Sunset Mountains, the strength of the weakest magical beasts was at least above level-15, and Legendary-level magical beasts were no longer as rare as they used to be. Although the prehistoric magical beasts had yet to appear, the ones here that formed a Black Current were already difficult for the humans to resist.

Under the orders of the Supreme Council and the Brilliance Shrine, the Ledin Kingdom and Felan Kingdom had already begun to strengthen the defenses in the Sunset Mountains a few months ago. Although the relationship between the two kingdoms wasn’t that close-knit, everyone knew that there would be a massive disaster for both kingdoms if the Black Current were to surge into human territories.

At the same time, the Brilliance Shrine and the Supreme Council both sent their teams of elites to the line of defense at the Sunset Mountains. However, even though they had already treated this disaster as the most severe one ever, they were still frightened to the point of being rendered speechless after finding out the scale of the Black Current in the Sunset Mountains.

“According to the scouting we’ve done the last time, there are nearly 300,000 magical beasts in the Black Current, and the number is still increasing. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get any more information after scouting again a few more times. For that, we’ve already lost hundreds of scouts level-15 and above. However, no one can get near the Black Current anymore.”

One of the generals in charge of commanding the army on the fortified fortress walls came over to report the information that they had collected in the past few days to Englos and the others.

The Sky Castle of the Tower of Dusk had now been renamed as City of Destruction, and Lin Li was still standing on the terrace on the top of the Tower of Dusk. He was staring outside the City of Destruction, and seemed to have already seen the various drastic changes that were going on in Anril.

With his strength that was at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm and his powerful mental strength, Lin Li could acutely sense every single change in the laws of this world. Although he didn’t personally check out the various places where spatial rifts might occur like Englos and the others did, he knew that Geresco’s prophecy was indeed gradually becoming a reality.

Geresco, what exactly do you want!?

That was not the first time Lin Li asked that question in his mind. Waiting for the power of the spacetime rift to be released was indeed a reason he hadn’t struck yet, but a more important reason was that he was still troubled by that matter.

Although he couldn’t guess the answer, Lin Li had a vague feeling that Geresco had arranged all of this for him with the ultimate purpose of fulfilling the mission of saving the world.

While Lin Li was thinking and waiting, the sky finally stopped turning dark as usual, and it was as if dusk was infinitely prolonged. There was no sun nor moon in the sky.

There was a sudden tremor, which wasn’t like that of an earthquake, but it could be felt even in the City of Destruction in the sky. It was as if Anril was shaking in pain. At the same time, that tremor also caused a whistling sound to appear in the air, even though there wasn’t a trace of wind. It was probably the roar of Anril.

After 10 days of congregating, the Black Current of the Sunset Mountains finally surged out of the mountains and towards the human defense line like a flood. However, the strange thing was that all the magical beasts were silent, and they didn’t let out a single roar at all. The only sounds that accompanied them were their thunder-like steps.

The hundreds of thousands of magical beasts had at least level-15 strength, and the sounds of their steps when they were running made the ground shake violently like there was an earthquake.

And the warriors standing on the walls of the line of defense of the Ledin Kingdom and Felan Kingdom seemed to have been affected by the tremor as their legs went limp in the face of the ferocious Black Current. They couldn’t stand still at all, and were swaying unsteadily.

However, immediately afterwards, the generals roared and ordered all of them to get ready for battle. At the same time, priests from the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine, as well as mages from the Guild of Magic, all appeared on the walls, giving the warriors confidence.
