Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 824

Lin Li smiled bitterly while thinking to himself, Hurry up and do what? Stop him? Our opponent is a Sanctuary powerhouse. What can I do to stop him? Besides, his summoning speed is obviously much faster than ours when we use Summoning Spells. For him, it's so effortless and as easy as opening an ordinary door. I've just retracted the debris of the stars Thunderbolt, and yet his terrifying black door has already taken shape.

Lin Li and the others didn't have time to react at all, and the next thing they knew, they saw a peak-Legendary-level Nightmare Beast appearing in the black gate formed by the black flames. The Nightmare Beast was already charging out while leading Death Knights who were neatly lined up. The Nightmare Beast, which was at the peak of the Legendary-level, was undoubtedly Rodhart's former mount. Rodhart, the Retribution Knight, was probably the only one who was powerful enough to ride and control it.

Although the Death Knights under the Retribution Knight could never reach the Legendary-realm, they could definitely exert combat power that was above the Legendary-level under the help of various magic supplemented by the Retribution Knight. Back then, the group of Death Knights almost destroyed the entire Breezy Plains under the command of Rodhart. Plenty of Legendary powerhouses were defeated by the Death Knights.

“Felic, don't tell me this is all you can come up with. What other tricks do you have? Display them now, hurry up. Otherwise, it will be too late.” Seeing that Rodhart had summoned the daunting Death Knights, Connoris couldn't help but panic and secretly regret his decision to join in. He was asking for it!

Rodhart managed to make things extremely difficult for everyone, even though he was severely injured by the Prophet Willen. He was undoubtedly a Sanctuary powerhouse, after all. As long as he was still in the Sanctuary-realm, he would always be unrivaled and his power would not be easily challenged by mortals. Since the Death Knights already appeared, could there be anything more devastating for them?

“You're an ancient deity who once mastered the art of conspiracy and deception. Don't you have any solutions for such situations?” retorted Lin Li who was getting a little flustered too. He'd initially thought that he would just be dealing with Rodhart alone. Who would have thought that Rodhart would summon the Death Knights too? Under the command of Rodhart, the Death Knights were exuding combat power that was probably not inferior to a Sanctuary powerhouse.

“I'm definitely the unluckiest person in Anril. What else can I do! How did that bastard Willen even handle things? Not only did he not purify Rodhart, he even allowed the Death Knights to stay. I really wonder if there is a hidden relationship between them,” Connoris yelled in exasperation.

Upon hearing Connoris's complaint, Lin Li could only smile wryly to himself. Perhaps no one would believe that the prophet Willen and the so-called Son of The Holy Light of the Brilliance Shrine was really the twin brother of the fallen Rodhart who had brought great shame to the Brilliance Shrine.

In the end, the Brilliance Shrine was just a religion, and not a spokesperson for justice. The Prophet Willen was also a human with feelings. How could he really kill his relative for some unrelated people?

However, Lin Li couldn't tell Connoris about that matter. After all, it was something that the Brilliance Shrine had been trying to cover up. There was no need for him to spread it around. Besides, so what if he were to spread it? It wouldn't be of any help to the situation at this juncture at all. It wouldn't make Rodhart commit suicide out of shame anyway.

Looking at the Death Knights swarming out of the black gate, Lin Li knew that the battle would definitely require him to go all out. Taking advantage of the time that Rodhart spent summoning the Death Knights, Lin Li took out the Summoning Lamp and released the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon. At the same time, he got the Holy Death Knights who had stopped Rodhart in the palace to rush over through the connection of the Soul Brand.

Lin Li then raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and instantly condensed a Light and Darkness Sword. However, he did not attack Rodhart, and instead swung it at the exquisitely carved giant pillars in the palace. Although Osric had put up defensive mageweaths in the palace, Lin Li had already reached the peak of the Legendary level at this time, and he had even gotten some enlightenment about the mysteries of the power of the Sanctuary-realm. The power of the Light and Darkness Sword could no longer be stopped by just a simple defensive mageweath. With a loud noise, a huge pillar broke and the roof of the palace fell in large pieces.

“What are you doing?!” Connoris questioned, feeling a little confused by Lin Li's approach.

“I'm demolishing the house. Otherwise, how can we deal with the Death Knights?” Lin Li answered, but he didn't stop at all. Instead, he slashed another giant pillar with his Light and Darkness Sword.

Although narrow space would often be more advantageous to the disadvantaged party in some cases, Lin Li was now facing not just a group of Death Knights, but also a Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight. Fighting against such an enemy would obviously be unrealistic. Without enough room for maneuvering, it would definitely be a dead end for him if he were to get besieged.

Although increased room would be more conducive for the Death Knights to move away from each other, Lin Li mainly wanted them to disperse. Otherwise, they would have to face the impact of the concentrated power. After hearing Lin Li's explanation, Connoris also figured it out, and so punched a pillar next to him.

As the pillars collapsed, the entire underground palace began to sway continuously. Large cobweb-like cracks formed on the huge pillars that were covered in exquisite carvings, and the pillars then collapsed. The magnificent and luxurious palace that had its pillars collapsed amidst the tremors was ruined in the blink of an eye. Everyone who was initially in the palace was directly exposed in a more spacious underground cave.

At this moment, the black gate behind Rodhart had already closed and disappeared in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, there were hundreds of Death Knights in the palace, each holding a lance and wearing a black full-body armor. They were riding the hideous Nightmare Beasts that were shrouded in death aura that seemed like black flames. The Death Knights had all taken more than just thousands of souls during the massacre in the Breezy Plains in the past. The black flames were full of twisted faces that were wailing with agony.

Legend had it that when Rodhart was conducting the massacre in the Breezy Plains back then, there were nearly 1,000 Death Knights under him, but it was unknown if Rodhart kept all of them or most of them were purified by Willen. Of course, even though there were only hundreds of Death Knights, they were still hard for Lin Li to deal with. Even though Lin Li also had an army of Death Knights whom he had transformed into Death Knights that could manipulate Divine Power, the old saying applied: a lousy teammate would drag the whole team down.

Rodhart was a Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight, while Lin Li was only at the peak of the Legendary-level, and only had a slight understanding of the power of the Sanctuary-realm. He had yet to even reach the borderline. Besides, Lin Li was not a real Retribution Knight. Even though he had subdued a group of Death Knights, he didn't know the type of magic the Retribution Knights were born with that would allow them to control their subordinate Death Knights. A comparison between them would show how obvious the gap in combat power was.

Rodhart, who had summoned the Death Knights, did not stop to wait for the Death Knights to surround and besiege his enemies. Instead, he waited for the Summoning Gate to close and vanish, after which he continuously waved the Eternal Frost Blade in his hand to launch fierce attacks against Lin Li. At the same time, the Death Knights had also split up into several teams and besieged Lin Li and the rest.

Although Lin Li's teammates were all powerhouses at the Legendary-level, they could barely endure the siege of the Death Knights. Be it in terms of attack or defense, the Death Knights were perfectly in sync, and could cooperate better than any well-trained team that Lin Li had seen. Perhaps it was not just a tacit understanding that they shared, but a body. They seemed to be a complete whole that did not have a single flaw that others could exploit.

At this moment, the team that had initially blocked Rodhart had also arrived at the ruined palace under the lead of the baby Elemental Wyrm, Xiao Hua.

Although Xiao Hua was usually a little bit mischievous, there was a trace of anxiety in its eyes when it saw Lin Li being in a dangerous situation under Rodhart's attack. It ignored the team and simply flapped its cicadlike wings, screaming and flying towards Lin Li. At the same time, countless powerful magic spells were instantly emitted, forming a huge magic storm that seemed to be able to destroy the world. It launched the magic storm at the target in front in a bid to clear all obstacles ahead.

However, the magic storm that seemed enough to destroy everything encountered an insurmountable barrier. After a violent explosion and loud roars, a Nightmare Beast that had a menacing face and was covered in black flames suddenly emerged from a pile of magic dust. The Nightmare Beast was Rodhart's mount. Back then, it tagged along when Rodhart fought with plenty of powerhouses; hence, the Nightmare Beast's powers were incredible. Perhaps it could be considered a Nightmare Beast King.

Seeing that it had been blocked, the young Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua clenched its tiny fists and roared, allowing its pure Menace of the Dragon to surge out like an invisible wave.

If it were an ordinary Nightmare Beast of peak-Legendary power, it would probably have to run far, far away in the face of the Menace of the Dragon of an Elemental Wyrm, which was much more powerful than other creatures. However, the owner of the Nightmare Beast was the Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight, Rodhart.

The Retribution Knight was given that name precisely because his existence was a challenge to the World Laws, thus allowing him to be prideful and arrogant enough to despise all authorities. Although the Menace of the Dragon of the young Elemental Wyrm was close to the level of the Dragon Aspect, it only managed to anger the King of Nightmare Beasts.

With an angry roar, the aura of the Nightmare Beast plummeted as if it was about to break through to the Sanctuary-realm at this moment. The rolling black flames were giving off a terrifying death aura which instantly condensed countless Dark Magic spells that swept towards the petite young Elemental Wyrm.

One of them was the descendant of the Dragon of Dream, which was a Dragon Aspect, while the other was the King of Nightmare Beasts, and was only one step away from the Sanctuary-realm. The two powerful beings of Anril engaged in a terrifying battle on the ruined battlefield.

On the ground, the team that arrived together with the young Elemental Wyrm Xiao Hua had also stopped in front of that insurmountable barrier. The team composed of 40 Holy Death Knights and 40 Archmages was a power that absolutely no one in the Breezy Plains would dare to despise. However, they were stopped in their tracks by 50-odd Death Knights.

Be it in terms of cooperation or individual strength, the Holy Death Knights were completely incomparable to Rodhart's Death Knights. If it hadn't been possible for them to manipulate Divine Power, more than half of them would have probably been killed during the first confrontation. As for the mages of the Tower of Dusk, the tacit understanding they shared, which they had always been proud of, was simply incomparable to that of the Death Knights. Fortunately, there were Holy Death Knights that were defending them. Otherwise, they would have been slaughtered.

No one knew how terrifying the Death Knights that had once bulldozed through and carried out a massacre in the Breezy Plains were. However, the hundreds of Death Knights who had fallen asleep for hundreds of years actually brought about a huge crisis to everyone on Lin Li's side.

The Vampire Norfeller was Lin Li's first servant, and back in the green dragon lair in the Haiga Mountain Range, he managed to enter the Legendary-realm through consuming the blood of a green dragon. Although green dragons were relatively low-level amongst wyrms, their blood still contained extraordinary power which allowed Norfeller to have a huge advantage than other Vampires of the same level after stepping into the Legendary-realm.

Vampires had always been known for their speed, and were known as natural assassins. Other Vampires of the same level could not compare to Norfeller in speed at all. When he maximized his speed, he would be like a pulsating ray of black lightning which was difficult to catch.

However, assassins would usually try to move in stealth mode and stay as hidden as possible while waiting for an opportunity to escape immediately after an attack. Being as fast as lightning was definitely important for assassins, but the selected combat method was what would affect their strength the most. Allowing an assassin to go toe-to-toe against the enemy was clearly not a method that would suit them.
