Chapter 29 The Faithful Betrayer
A roar sounded.
The destructive white light swallowed Li Lin's figure in it, and even the air seemed to have made way for this terrible energy. The wind was howling, and the mages on it even felt a little difficult to breathe. The isolation world covering the sky seemed to be affected, and they shaked a few times in a blur, but in the end they still resisted the invasion of this torrent of energy.
"Hahaha…………"
After casting this powerful spell, the old mage gasped. He had almost exhausted all his strength on his body, and could not even raise his head to confirm his battle results. The white beam left shocking scars on the ground and disappeared, and almost all of them were turned into dust wherever he went - only one thing was exceptional.
“It’s amazing.”
Li Lin stood in it without any damage, the protection of the aura was still beautiful and bright, but his expression was not as calm as before.
"I didn't expect that I would be here..."
As he said that, Li Lin's expression quickly became serious. The time for playing was over, and he had more important things to do.
So, the poor mages did not have time to escape from the shadow of death. Two of them were captured by Li Lin again and turned into soul gems. Only the last man relied on his youth and turned around to try to escape from this terrible demon realm. But a petrified light easily stopped his attempt. After falling to the ground due to losing balance and shattering, even if the petrified is removed, the poor worm cannot be resurrected.
Listening to the screams of his companions, the old mage could not move at all. The secret weapon had exhausted all his strength and made him unable to try to do anything anymore. Although the powerful magic spell was still in the old mage's mind, it only took a word to become a reality. But now he didn't even have the strength to say half a word. Just supporting himself without falling down, the old mage was exhausted.
So, when the power of magic dominated his limbs and made it float into the air, the old mage didn't even struggle for a moment.
Li Lin slowly walked to the old master, lowered his body and picked up the staff that was broken into two pieces.
“It’s so interesting.”
He looked at the section of the broken rod and said involuntarily.
"What do you think? Nia?"
"Any enchantist can easily do this by simply saving and transferring energy, and the Age of Magic Empire."
The sudden appearance of female voice surprised the old mage slightly, especially when he found out that the voice actually came from the magic book, the old mage was obviously even more surprised.
However, Li Lin and Nia have not discussed the old mage's reaction at the moment. This energy is so familiar that they don't even need too much thinking to get the answer directly.
"The Mage Association got 'her'? I have never heard of this before..."
"This shows that these mages are much luckier than me, at least in this regard."
The conversation was soon finished with one book, and then Li Lin raised his head and looked at the old mage who was completely bound in the air, smiling slightly.
"Mr. Master, if you don't mind, can you please answer me a question? Where did you get this staff?"
“……………………”
The old mage did not speak, and he looked at the man in front of him silently. Until now, he could not guess the identity of the person. Who was he? At first, the mage only thought that this man was the victim manipulated by the spell book. But now it seems that this is not the case. Even if he goes to the energy of the spell book, he still has powerful magical manipulation ability. Moreover, he seems to be very familiar with this book. Who is he... Why do he do this?
The old man's thoughts were interrupted by the double invasion of paralysis and great pain. He came to his senses and looked forward with his faint eyes. Li Lin had already withdrawn his right hand, and the remaining lightning bolts on it jumped for a moment, and then disappeared.
"You should learn to respect the elderly, young people..."
"If age is the primary criterion worthy of respect, then she and I hope you can be honest and cautious in front of us."
Li Lin looked at the old man in front of him with a calm expression.
"Believe me, the years we live in are far beyond your imagination. We already exist in this world before you were born. Therefore, I advise you not to make a fuss about age. At least, in front of us, you are still a complete devil, a disobedient child. A disobedient child can only accept punishment."
Speaking of this, Li Lin spread his hands.
"In fact, a young mindset is important, I bet you never thought about this, Mr. 'Old' Mage."
Unbelievable, his words sound incredible, but they reveal a real sense of reality.
The old mage felt that he had come to an end, and the magic power that bound him was as hard and heavy as a rock. Even in his heyday, he probably could not resist such power. Of course, for a mage who has been through many battles, he naturally stored a lot of spells that could be used when accidents occur to avoid any kind of damage. These are exquisite tricks, but in the face of absolute power, no matter how exquisite the skills are, they lose their place to use. In particular, Li Lin used the isolation realm to completely block the space in the surrounding area, and the teleportation and transmission were completely closed. This also made the old mage's proud skills completely useless, and the subsequent attack was completely cracked, causing all the magic traps lurking on him to dissipate. At present, he was just a dead old man.
"Kill me."
Finally, the old mage spoke.
"I won't tell you anything, this is the secret of our mage association, and we won't tell anyone."
"So, as you wish."
Li Lin looked at the old mage and sighed lightly. Then he stretched out his right hand and a strong black aura wrapped around his five fingers.
"However, I don't think you have any other choice but to cooperate."
As he said that, Li Lin reached forward. When his fingers touched the old man's chest, the old mage closed his eyes. However, when Li Lin's fingers easily tore the flesh, broke the bones, and penetrated into the old man's body, the severe pain still made him wail. His thin body was trembling like a boat in the waves because of the unbearable huge pain. Li Lin's slender fingers penetrated his chest and tightly grasped the violently beating heart. Blood flowed out of the old mage's wound, and his breathing began to become rapid and short, but Li Lin obviously did not just take his life.
He let go of the "Happy Book Library" and accompanied by golden light, Nia's figure appeared beside Li Lin. From Li Lin's actions, she already understood what her master wanted to do, so the girl held up the staff and began to cooperate with Li Lin's singing.
"You, what do you want to do..."
He realized that life was far away from him, but his consciousness still existed. The old mage couldn't help but tremble. He had no idea what the two people in front of him were planning to do to him. However, Li Lin was obviously very busy and had no time to answer the old mage's questions.
"Nia, start building temporary structured magic array assistance."
"Yes, Li Lin."
Hearing Li Lin's order, the girl smiled slightly, and then the staff in her hand slid down, drawing a prosperous and complex magic spell. Soon, a magic circle temporarily used to assist in the interpretation of the magic quickly appeared, and the power of magic began to rotate with Li Lin as the center. Listening to Li Lin's evil and blasphemy spell, the old mage finally understood what kind of ending he was about to face.
"No, you can't do this, no...!!!"
Darkness, absolute darkness rose up flat on the ground, wrapping the old mage's body. Li Lin's spell became faster and faster, and Nia also held a staff in her hand, focusing on guiding the changes of energy. Then, the indifferent aura of the dead and evil merged into one, gradually revealing a new form. Li Lin took back his hand, and at this moment, a bright red ring had already appeared on his fingers. The extreme darkness condensed, turning into mist and drifted away. Li Lin looked at his work in front of him with satisfaction - the old mage was still standing in place, his body was still thin, and his fingers were still skinny. The difference was that his eyes had lost their luster, and only a little faint residual light remained.
Evil bright red.
At this moment, the old mage has become a lich.
"I will take your life box for custody."
Li Lin stretched out his finger and shook it in front of him.
"In exchange, I have given you the right to immortality... so I hope you can satisfy me, the 'old' wizard."
Needless to say, the mage who had been completely soaked in the darkness in the ritual was trembling. Even ordinary lichs would appear extremely respectful when facing people who hold their life boxes, not to mention that the lich in front of him was created by Li Lin and could not violate his orders at all. Although Li Lin himself did not need to be transformed into a lich, this does not mean that he would not learn relevant knowledge. What's more, the "Haoyu Library" has records of various forms of spells from all eras. It is also very easy to find a spell that can quickly turn humans into loyal slaves.
"Now, tell me, everything you know."
Listening to Li Lin's inquiry respectfully, the lich slowly knelt in front of Li Lin. His voice was still as old as when he was alive, but it was mixed with undetectable evil and faint trembling and fear.
Chapter completed!
