Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Damn, this human being is terrible, he is even more demonic than demons! Angelano manipulated the alchemy machine; he had already left Lin Li’s side. He stared at Lin Li, the young mage who he’d initially thought was easy to deal with, keeping his guard up. At this moment, after watching Lin Li torture the Fire Demon King, he began to recall the conditions that he had discussed with Lin Li previously. If it were not for the alchemy machine, Angelano would have long been scared soulless.

Angelano was known as one of the three most powerful warriors of Osric, but after leaving the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus, he was just a Goblin that even ordinary people could beat. He had profound knowledge in Alchemy and superb alchemical skills, but he would only feel safe when he was hiding in the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus. Hence, Osric was the only one who knew that the mighty Angelano was actually only a timid Goblin.

Lin Li’s actions were way more brutal than the demons’, and Angelano was obviously terrified. Even though he had already run far, far away, he was still trembling, and the sounds of his alchemy machine clinking could still be heard.

However, no one was paying attention to Angelano now, because the scream that suddenly sounded on a spiritual level was particularly shrill and miserable. The fear that it caused in the humans was no less than the horror it brought to Angelano. The shrieks of pain made everyone empathize with the demon, and everyone’s soul was secretly trembling.

Rosen, who had always regarded Lin Li as an eyesore, had a somber and sullen expression at this moment. He stood still and remained silent while feeling fearful towards Lin Li because of the latter’s brutal means and nature. Although he didn’t know what Lin Li asked the Fire Demon King about, he felt that any piece of information, be it significant or not, would probably result in an unpredictable change.

Moreover, Rosen was also a master of mageweaths, and when he saw Lin Li drawing the mageweath of the Celestial Purification Fire, he felt an inexplicable horror in his heart. It was no wonder that Master Moke continuously sang praises about Lin Li after returning from the Tower of Dusk which he had drawn a mageweath for. Despite being a true Master of Inscription, he still found it difficult to draw the Celestial Purification Fire with ease within a short period of time. Besides, Felic, who was only in his early twenties, had only achieved great progress and attainments in magic, yet he also had great achievements in drawing mageweaths, pharmaceutics, and inscription. He found a enemy like him to be terrible.

Aldwin and Macklin glanced at each other, but they both saw a trace of shock and fear in each other’s eyes. Using a Master-level Godly Soul Potion as the cost, and activating the Celestial Purification Fire potion to torment the soul of the Fire Demon King was probably something that only the lunatic Lin Li could think of.

Although Andoine was Lin Li’s teacher, he had not been teaching Lin Li magic for that long; hence, he did not know much about Lin Li, either. After witnessing Lin Li’s behavior, he could not help but secretly think to himself, Damn it, this kid is more ruthless than I am. That Fire Demon King is already dead, yet he’s still torturing his soul. 

Of course, although Andoine was also taken aback with Lin Li’s behavior, he did not think that Lin Li went overboard. After all, his opponent was an Abyssal Demon—their enemy. The only thing that he felt sorry about was the loss of the Godly Soul Potion. After all, even if the Fire Demon King knew some information about the mausoleum, it probably wouldn’t be significant. Otherwise, the Fire Demon would have long plundered it.

Lin Li also ended the cordial conversation with the Fire Demon King, and stood up to turn around, only to see that the mages had all taken a step back in shock. Of course, everyone was just behaving subconsciously. After all, the miserable cry of the demon’s spirit had given them too much of an impact.

Lin Li smiled indifferently, and pointed to the depths of the palace before saying, “After we pass through this, we’ll reach the real burial place of Osric. He’s said that it’s on the top floor of the central tower. I believe he wouldn’t dare to lie to me. If everyone has already rested enough, let’s continue and set off.”

Lin Li had tortured the Fire Demon King for a long time, but no one asked much about what information he got. Rosen knew that even if he asked, he would be unlikely to obtain the real answer. Hence, he decided not to ask about it at all. Meanwhile, Andoine and Aldwin seemed to have also known that no matter what information Lin Li had gotten, the latter would definitely speak up if it were related to the safety of everyone. Since he refused to speak, he definitely had his reasons for keeping mum.

Although they were put in dangerous predicaments while fighting in the previous battles, they did not use up too much power or energy. Hence, after a little discussion, the leaders agreed to go with Lin Li’s proposal, and proceeded to continue exploring the depths of the palace.

All of the mageweaths in the tall and spacious palace had become dimmer, and the original silence was restored. The battle marks on the ground were soon cleaned up as if nothing had happened.

However, there was a new screaming resident sealed in the Summoning Lamp in Lin Li’s Ring of Endless Storm.

“Despicable human being, shameless liar, I have told you everything I know and you won’t be able to get anything out from me anymore. Let me out!” the Fire Demon King roared in exasperation, and his massive Spiritual Force continuously impacted the seal on the Summoning Lamp, causing large rays of radiant light to emanate from it.

In fact, when Lin Li took out the Summoning Lamp to seal the Fire Demon King, the latter was more worried than excited. With his level-24 abilities that were close to the Sanctuary-realm, he felt that there was no way the insignificant human mage Lin Li would be able to seal him, even with the magic lamp created by Osric. He felt that he could use the power of the seal to leave his body and teach the despicable Lin Li a hard lesson.

However, what the Fire Demon King did not expect was for Lin Li’s power to be on par with a true Sanctuary-realm powerhouse’s with the help of the Evil Eye Tyrant’s magical crystal and the magical crystal that controlled the Sky Castle. The Fire Demon King did not escape immediately after his soul separated from his body. Instead, he tried to rebel against Lin Li, but he ended up bringing more trouble upon himself. By the time he recovered from the shock, he had already lost his ability to resist, and was pulled into the Summoning Lamp.

“Be quiet, don’t forget you are my object now. Answering my questions was just to ensure that you will no longer be burned by the Holy Fire. I didn’t say that I will let you go,” Lin Li retorted indifferently before blocking all of his roars.

“Despicable, shameless, you humans are the most despicable creatures in this world!” the Fire Demon King cursed continuously and cussed his heart out. Clearly, the human mage Lin Li was the real demon here.

The team walked slowly towards the depths of the palace. The extravagant decorations around no longer surprised them, because they had already gotten used to it. Lin Li and Angelano were still in front of everyone else, constantly stopping to crack the lethal traps left behind by Osric. However, Angelano, who lost the Titan-level Alchemy Colossus was clearly still traumatized by what happened just now, and kept a certain distance from Lin Li.

While passing through the long dreamy corridor, the mages cracked several magic traps that were enough to make Legendary powerhouses fall. The team finally arrived at another luxurious palace, which was smaller in size but extremely spacious compared to the previous palace’s corridors.

Standing at the entrance of the palace and looking in, Lin Li realized that there were several smaller doors on both sides of the palace, leading to rooms of unknown purpose. The leaders of the team looked at each other, and seemed to be looking forward to something. They were hoping that they might find something in the rooms. After all, apart from the loot they had obtained from the battle with the Fire Demon, they had not obtained anything.

Ever since they entered the mausoleum, Lin Li was the only one who obtained the control center for controlling the Alchemical Undead. As a result, the Alchemy Undead simply became sacrificial objects. There was also an imprisoned silver-armored knight, which was Lin Li’s material for research. It was needless to say for the others. They’d originally thought that the countless magical Crystal Cannons were huge assets, yet they had to be destroyed one by one. In the exploration afterwards, the team was successively downsized. Although some magical objects were obtained by them from the High Elves’ graveyard, most of them were still lost when they were facing the attack of the Mage Killer.

They only got a few Legendary magical crystals during the battle with the Fire Demons, as well as some Fire Demon corpses. The Alanna Guild of Magic managed to obtain the level-24 magical crystal of the Fire Demon King. However, those gains were not considered benefits compared to the other items that could be hidden in Osric’s mausoleum, which was considered Anril’s greatest treasure vault.

Everyone looked at the rooms around the palace, and although they knew that Osric was unlikely to leave any valuable objects there, they were still indignant and reluctant to leave without checking them. Besides, what might be insignificant to Osric might be of value to them. After all, they were just like beggars compared to Osric.

Although Rosen and Andoine’s mission was to find the important object for the Supreme Council, they had a tough time getting here, and no one was willing to let their efforts go in vain. On another hand, Aldwin and Macklin were originally there to seek some treasures anyway. Since the thing that might exist was reserved by the Supreme Council, they naturally had to get other items to make up for it.

The few of them discussed it. Apart from Rosen, everyone looked at Lin Li because they all knew how terrifying the power of the magic traps in the mausoleum was. Without him, no one would be able to leave with their loot in one piece.

“Okay, I’d like to see what Osric has left behind too.” Although Lin Li was anxious to find the debris of the stars, Nothingness, he wouldn’t mind getting a few more treasures. More importantly, he was still not sure what the Supreme Council was looking for, and he wanted to find out if the so-called powerful weapon that could destroy Felan Kingdom they wanted had anything to do with Nothingness. The Fire Demon King once said that Nothingness had been taken back by Osric, but who knew if Osric would have left it beside him? He might well have left it in some unassuming spot.

Lin Li and Angelano got busy for a long time in front of the door of the first room, and as time passed, everyone began to grow increasingly enthusiastic. Indeed, everyone knew that the harder it was to break in, the greater the value of the things inside would be.

Finally, a flash of light appeared, and a horrifying magical wave erupted from the magic trap in front of the door, but it suddenly died down. Lin Li turned back and smiled at the crowd. He didn’t say anything nor entered the room. Instead, he took two steps back and waited for Andoine and the others to enter. The mages were ordered to wait outside, while the several leaders entered the room, feeling the huge magical waves in the room, and looking forward to seeing the treasures left by Osric.

Compared to the palace outside, the space in the room was naturally much smaller, at only about two or three hundred square meters. However, it seemed empty at first because everything in the room was already visible when they reached the door. In addition to the exquisite murals on the walls and ceilings, as well as some luxurious and elegant tables and chairs that were made in accordance with the High Elven style, the other magic items seemed rather useless and insignificant.

They searched three rooms in a row. Although all of them were full of tempting magical waves, the magical waves would disappear once someone entered. In fact, it was completely empty for everyone; actually, it was probably a kind of spiritual trap. If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Li waited for them to enter after breaking the magic traps, they would have thought that he had pocketed some of the items. If it were a team that comprised of members who did not trust each other or cooperated well, the trap would have definitely caused the team to split or even fight each other.

When they reached the fourth room, everyone no longer had much hope, because the magic trap was broken quickly, and they only decided to take a look because it wouldn’t take up much time. However, this time, Aldwin began to shriek uncontrollably as soon as they entered.

“Commander’s badge, it’s actually the commander’s badge!” If Aldwin hadn’t known where this was, he would have leaped forward uncontrollably.
