Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073 - Reason

However, those alchemical battleships did give Lin Li a chance to fight. When he saw a wound in the chest of the dragon corpse, Lin Li pointed his Helios’ Scepter forward, and a huge Light and Darkness Sword broke through the air, stabbing straight into the chest of the dragon corpse.

In Lin Li’s opinion, the body of the dragon corpse might be tough and highly resistant to magic spells, but the huge wound had penetrated deep into its internal organs, so as there were no scales to protect it, he might be able to blast the dragon corpse’s stomach into ashes if he could pierce through this wound, and then trigger an explosion of light and darkness. In that case, its skin would be all that was left, and it probably would not be able to do anything major.

Seeing Lin Li’s approach, Elder Zumar, Elvis, and the others were also inspired to cast their strongest magic spells at the chest of the dragon corpse, which now became their target. In a moment, the sky was filled with all kinds of magic spells, causing it to shine colorfully. The only target of the magic spells was the wound in front of the dragon corpse’s chest.

Boom! Boom! Boom! There were continuous sounds of explosions in the air, and the dragon corpse’s chest glowed incessantly, almost drowning out half of the dragon’s corpse.

The intense magic bombardment that was jointly cast by the Sanctuary powerhouses and peak Legendary powerhouses was so powerful that it could even flatten a mountain range. However, when the magic light dissipated, the crowd found that the dragon corpse actually had a claw blocking its wound on its chest, though the edges were not blocked, and the traces of the bombardment could still be seen.

Damn it, how are we supposed to fight like that!? We can’t make it budge at all. If we hit it once, we might have to die! At this moment, everyone including Lin Li felt powerless as the battle really made them feel helpless.

Among all the people, Lin Li was probably the one with the highest number of trump cards, each of which would probably play a vital role in any other battle. However, while dealing with the dragon corpse’s attack in this battle, Lin Li recalled the trump cards he had, and was helpless when he discovered that none of them could play a significant role.

It was true that Lin Li had the debris of the stars, but in order to fully exert its power, he would still have to combine it with the Stars of Fury. Although Lin Li still had the Crossbow of Reincarnation, which could somewhat replace the Stars of Fury by replicating its effects, that was in the case of facing other enemies. Now that he was facing the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction Azardas, he knew exactly how much the Crossbow of Reincarnation could do.

Back in the Endless World, Lin Li had fought with the debris of the stars, and although he managed to kill it in the end, the process was really like a nightmare. At that time, Lin Li had used the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury, but he still found it difficult to kill the dragon. Hence, it could be said that Lin Li knew the defensive ability of the dragon corpse better than anyone else did. Even though they were just facing a dragon corpse now, the Crossbow of Reincarnation would not play a significant role at all.

Since they could not break the defense of the dragon corpse, they had to think of another solution. The first thing that Lin Li thought of was to use Necromagic, but was the dragon corpse an Undead creature or not? It would be reasonable to say that the corpse was an Undead creature since it had died, and yet could still move around freely like the living. However, Lin Li did not feel a trace of the aura of Undead creatures from the dragon corpse. Besides, the Dragon of Destruction was one of the five Dragon Aspects, and was a powerful existence with a deity’s position. Even after its death, it was impossible for it to turn into an Undead creature.

So, if the dragon corpse wasn’t an Undead creature, what allowed it to move and fight? Lin Li considered for a moment, and decided to give it a try since there wasn’t any other solution now anyway. He decided to regard it as a Hail Mary effort. After all, he had had the Dragon of Destruction’s corpse for several years, but he didn’t really know what that thing was supposed to belong to after it came to life.

“Attract its attention!” Due to the fact that Lin Li had the highest attacking power among the crowd, he had managed to catch the dragon corpse’s attention even though he, too, hadn’t caused much damage to it. Lin Li decided to stop attacking now, and instead continuously activated the power of his Space Robe while his body flashed in space to evade the dragon corpse’s attacks.

No one made any objections after hearing Lin Li’s words, even though the arrangement didn’t seem to be very fair. Even Elder Zumar also began to unconditionally follow Lin Li’s instructions. After all, he did not want to offend such a powerful foreign aid at this time.

As expected, the dragon corpse was distracted by Elder Zumar, whose combat power was second to Lin Li, soon after it started chasing Lin Li. Seeing this scene, Lin Li also immediately stopped flashing around, and flew to a spot that wasn’t too far behind the dragon corpse. He raised the Helios’ Scepter, and pointed it forward to cast a seemingly shapeless magic spell, Soul Ricochet.

In Lin Li’s opinion, even if the dragon corpse was not an Undead creature, it could still move like it was alive. It did not appear rigid and mechanical at all in terms of combat, either. Hence, Lin Li felt that it had to be controlled by something. The dragon corpse displayed Sanctuary-level power, and even parasites like the Lord Devourer that could control their hosts dared not approach the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction. If it went any nearer, it would probably be crushed and mushed up by the supreme dragon’s might.

Hence, Lin Li chose the Soul Ricochet, which was the strongest of all Spiritual Magic spells, and should be considered an enhanced version of soul shocking. Soul shocking would only cause the enemy’s soul to become dizzy, but Soul Ricochet had a possibility of making the enemy’s soul ricochet and fall apart.

In particular, Lin Li now had massive mental strength, and it had become extremely pure after the refinement of the control crystal of the Sky Castle, so the Soul Ricochet that he cast would definitely be several times more powerful. However, Lin Li was unsure if the magic spell would be effective. After all, the soul of the Dragon of Destruction could not be dispersed easily. However, it should at least be able to make the soul of the dragon corpse dizzy for a period of time. Even if it was a short period of time, it would allow Lin Li and the others to take this opportunity to send a large amount of magic spells into the dragon corpse’s stomach through the wound in its chest.

The Soul Ricochet roared and surged directly into the dragon corpse’s brain. However, what Lin Li did not expect was that there was no soul inside the dragon corpse, which had an empty brain too. There wasn’t even a trace of the low-level soul fire, which was unique to Undead creatures.

It had no life, no soul, and was purely a dragon corpse, Yet, it had a very high combat awareness, as if it was born to be proficient in combat. It didn’t seem like a corpse at all.

That made Lin Li confused again. Actually, an existence like the Dragon of Destruction should have an immortal soul, but where did its soul go to? Could it be that the thing that Tutankhamun was guarding at the bottom of the Blackstone Mountains was not the Dragon of Destruction’s corpse, but its soul? Or rather, did the Immortal King not only take away the magical crystal of the Dragon of Destruction, but also its soul?

However, no matter what, launching a soul attack would undoubtedly be ineffective, and Lin Li was put in a difficult spot now. The various types of magic spells could not cause any significant damage to the dragon corpse. There was no way to deal with the dragon corpse at all! If he had the Stars of Fury, the dragon corpse would probably be blasted into nothing. It didn’t matter how precious it was, since he already had one in his ring. However, the problem was that he couldn’t find the Stars of Fury.

More importantly, the dragon corpse was soulless, but its combat power was insane. It was no longer an issue of its defense, but rather a crazy offensive ability. Cardson and Gilded Kingdom returned after escorting the people of Gilded Kingdom away, but they soon left again. One was in great pain after being whipped by the dragon corpse’s tail, while the other was disfigured by the dragon breath. If they didn’t dodge fast, they would really die there.

As for the others, the peak Legendary powerhouses basically quit the battlefield as they would end up dying by staying there for any longer, regardless of how many trump cards they had. Elvis and the other four pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses were all wounded, but their condition wasn’t severe to the extent that they would lose their fighting ability. Hence, they were barely hanging on.

Even Lin Li who had received the guidance of Geresco and gained a lot of combat experience in the Barbarous Arena almost suffered a huge loss when facing the Dragon of Destruction’s corpse. If he hadn’t dodged fast enough with the Space Robe, he would probably have died.

Lin Li and the others seemed to be besieging the dragon corpse in this battle, but they knew that they were the ones who had lost the upper hand. No matter how intense their attacks were, they could not hurt the dragon corpse, but once the dragon corpse began to counterattack, they would be in a frenzy and even flee anxiously to avoid being forced into a desperate situation.

However, after facing such a scenario a few times, Lin Li suddenly found a key problem, and that was that the dragon corpse only had battle instincts left, yet it would miss its enemy many times. Just now, he observed that there were several occurrences where the dragon corpse almost had the opportunity to kill Elvis and others, but suddenly retreated back into the sky above Cage Island.

Could it be that this dragon corpse is like a dog on a chain, and can only move within a certain range of activity? Lin Li couldn’t help but come up with such a conjecture. Even though it was just a guess, he could take advantage of it once it was proven to be true.

In order to confirm his guess, Lin Li gave a few more instructions to the others, such as telling them to fly far away from the sea area of Cage Island whenever they encountered danger.

With Lin Li’s instructions, Elvis and others immediately fled even more quickly than before. As long as the situation was amiss, they would immediately fly away from the sea area of Cage Island. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Li observed and discovered that the dragon corpse really seemed to have been chained to Cage Island, and could only move freely in the sea area.

So, what exactly was the reason for the dragon corpse to stay at Cage Island? After all, the Gilded Kingdom failed to reinforce the seal, and since the dragon corpse was able to break through, the seal had probably lost its function. Could it be that there was some other seal to limit its range of activities? Of course, there was another possibility—that the dragon corpse purely wanted to guard something there, or could not bear to leave.

Although those were possible reasons, the difference between the two was very big. If it was a seal that held it down, there might be a way to fix the seal, and make the dragon corpse stay under Cage Island again. However, if it was simply the dragon corpse itself, Lin Li would be ready to flee because that meant that the dragon corpse would dash out of Cage Island without hesitation. If things were to reach that point, Lin Li would probably give up.

In order to verify the suspicions in his heart, Lin Li reduced the frequency of his attacks even though he was still on the battlefield. It was almost like he could gradually fade out of the battle. He was not slacking, but rather trying to preserve energy, and was hoping to find some clues from this space.

Elder Zumar had long begun secretly cursing Lin Li for his behavior. After all, among these people, Lin Li and he were the only ones who were a match for the dragon corpse. Now that Lin Li had faded out, all the pressure was on Elder Zumar, so he was obviously displeased.

As for Elvis and the others, they were still strictly following Lin Li’s instructions, although they couldn’t figure out what Lin Li was going to do. They continued to fight with the dragon corpse, but none of them had any complaints. At this point, they were completely convinced with Lin Li, the young Sanctuary powerhouse, and they were sure that he would have great accomplishments in the future. He might just become a powerful figure like Geresco. If they didn’t take the opportunity to suck up to him now, they might never get the chance to do so again.

Lin Li’s decreased output of attacks caused the battle to develop quickly to a very dangerous point. Elder Zumar, who was a high-ranking Sanctuary powerhouse, was forced into a dangerous situation by the dragon corpse after bearing most of the pressure, while Elvis and the others were extremely disheveled. Although they were not the focus of the dragon corpse, the difference in strength was too large in the end. It was as if they might be annihilated at any time.

After all, it was the corpse of the Dragon of Destruction Azardas. Even without its soul and Dragon Crystal, its strength was still at the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.
