Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 734

Chapter 734 - Thing Of The Past

However, he had clearly already missed the best time to break free. The force that made him feel uncomfortable had already seeped into his soul, and made it impossible for him to emanate his Spiritual Force.

“It seems that you still don’t know the situation that you are in. Well, I shall let you get a taste of that thrill,” Lin Li sneered, and put the magical crystal into the mageweath which was exuding a faint glow. It immediately burst into a dazzling light that shrouded the Fire Demon King’s body.

“Ah, what is this!?” With the activation of the mageweath, the Fire Demon King persisted for a moment before finally screaming and shrieking. As a Fire Demon, fire was his forte, and he would never taste the pain of being burnt by flames in his life. However, he was now experiencing a burning pain.

After all, the Fire Demon King had been working for Osric for countless years. Although he had yet to become as capable as Osric, he had definitely seen plenty of things. The intense burning pain of his soul and the way that Lin Li was drawing the mageweath immediately reminded him of the mageweath that Osric had once used, the Celestial Purification Fire Mageweath.

However, recognizing the Celestial Purification Fire did not make the Fire Demon King feel comfortable. Instead, it made it even more difficult for him to suppress the fear in his heart. It was because when he had followed Osric, he witnessed Osric tormenting his enemies with the Celestial Purification Fire more than just once. The burning soul that was full of Divine Power was definitely more painful than any other form of torture.

What made him feel even more desperate and hopeless was the fact that the fire created by the Celestial Purification Fire was different from Holy Light’s powerful purification power even though it was full of Sanctuary power. If it were Holy Light, the soul would be purified with just a short period and amount of pain. However, the Holy Fire would not hurt the soul quickly—that was to say, it’d bring endless pain to the soul for a long time, and not allow it to dissipate prematurely. Under the burning of the Holy Fire, all resistance would be in vain, and even self-explosion would become a luxury.

“Stop, stop, what do you want to ask!?” the Fire Demon King roared at Lin Li while trying his best to bear the pain of his soul being burned.

Upon hearing that the Fire Demon King seemed to have admitted defeated, Lin Li did not stop immediately, and instead let the Celestial Purification Fire to go on for a while before the dazzling light gradually became mellower. Lin Li did not show any sympathy to his enemies at all, especially the Abyssal Demons. The Abyssal Demons were the type to bully others, and Lin Li felt that he had to teach them a hard lesson. Without giving them enough suffering, it would be impossible to hear the truth from them.

“Tell me why you’re here,” Lin Li said calmly.

“Didn’t that damned Goblin tell you that I’m Osric’s slave and this is Osric’s mausoleum? What’s so strange about me appearing here? Isn’t that Goblin here too?” the Fire Demon King said in a slightly shaky voice. It was unknown if it was because of his anger or fear.

“It seems that you haven’t gotten enough of this thrill. In that case, as you wish, I’ll let you experience the wonderful feeling again. Just think about how to answer my questions to satisfy me.” After saying those words coldly, Lin Li pretended to begin activating the Celestial Purification Fire again.

“Wait, wait a minute, I’ll tell you what you want to hear.” Seeing that Lin Li was about to start the terrifying mageweath again, the Fire Demon King immediately tried to stop Lin Li.

However, Lin Li did not stop, as if he did not hear what the Fire Demon King said at all. He again activated the Celestial Purification Fire. All of a sudden, the mageweath began to glow once again and the roar of infinite pain sounded in the air once more, making everyone’s face grow sullen.

A mere few seconds was extremely long for the Fire Demon King, and under the burning of the Holy Fire, he even wished his soul would dissipate immediately. However, as the Holy Fire eroded his soul, he could not channel his Spiritual Force at all, and blowing up his own soul seemed like a tall order too.

“Actually, I always wanted to study the burning process of souls being incinerated in the Holy Fire. So, you have to think carefully about how to answer my questions in a satisfactory manner,” Lin Li said coldly to the Fire Demon King while stopping the mageweath.

“When Osric signed the contract with me, he promised me that one day, he would help me release all the Fire Demons on the 66th floor of the abyss. Hence, after the Eternal Furnace was built, he helped me build the Gates of the Abyss, but he never opened it for me…” the Fire Demon King explained frantically for fear that he would trigger the terrifying Holy Fire if he were to hesitate.

“Is that so? If Osric could take you out of the 66th floor of the abyss, how could he not have taken them out? Why would he need to build the Gates of the Abyss? Seems like you still think my heart is too soft,” said Lin Li, who seemed to be sighing for the Fire Demon King as he prepared to activate the mageweath again.

“I am telling the truth. It wasn’t Osric who took me out of the abyss, but the Immortal King! It was the Immortal King!” the Fire Demon King yelled in horror.

Hearing the words of the Fire Demon King, Lin Li stopped and did not start the Celestial Purification Fire this time. The 66th floor of the abyss was an area that even the Dragon Aspect could not enter. Although the Fire Demon King was only close to the Sanctuary-realm in terms of strength, in the world of endless magma on the 66th floor of the abyss, his power was absolutely enough to compete with the powerhouses of the Sanctuary-realm. Even the general Legendary-level Fire Demons could definitely exert more than twice their strength there.

Although Osric was a famous powerhouse in the history of Anril, neither his personal strength nor the power he held had reached the peak when he subdued the Fire Demon King and made him his slave. It might not have been possible for Osric to do that with his strength. Hence, the one who’d taken the Fire Demon King out of the abyss was probably the godlike Immortal King.

“Continue,” Lin Li ordered.

“After the Immortal King took me out of the abyss, I was imprisoned in an impenetrable prison where me and other Lords of the Abyss were held captive. Later, Osric came and saw I was the most powerful demon in prison, and released me. At that time, his strength was much worse than that of the Immortal King. If we had still been in the abyss, I definitely would not have lost to him. Later, he asked me to sign the Soul Contract, and I became his servant. He promised to one day release all the Fire Demons on the 66th floor of the abyss.” As the Fire Demon King recalled the past events, there was clearly some resentment in his tone, which was because of Osric’s failure to honor his promise.

After listening to the explanation of the Fire Demon King, Lin Li thought of the Central Tower in the Sky Castle, where there was a prison holding countless demons. As a disciple of the Immortal King, Osric had gone to the Sky Castle more than once; naturally, it would be impossible for him to subdue and acquire such a strong and powerful slave from that prison.

“After Osric died, I stayed here and continued to gradually improve the Gates of the Abyss for the sake of opening it. Although the Gates of the Abyss was successfully completed in the end, this damned Eternal Furnace suppressed the power of the Gates of the Abyss so much that I could never open it. Hence, I could only continue to wait for someone to enter and break the balance of power in here to let the Gates of the Abyss break free from the restraint. Sure enough, your arrival has affected the balance of power inside, and gave me the opportunity to open the Gates of the Abyss. Unfortunately, I still failed in the end. This is all you need to know. Now, the Gates of the Abyss has been destroyed, and it’s impossible to open it again. Can you let me leave now?” the Fire Demon King asked in a dejected tone. Waiting for over a thousand years, only to face failure would undoubtedly be a great blow for anyone.

However, Lin Li shook his head slightly, and said, “You mean, you were staying here only for the sake of opening the Gates of the Abyss?” Before the Fire Demon King even answered, Lin Li immediately activated the Celestial Purification Fire that was full of sacred Holy Fire which he used to burn the Fire Demon King’s soul mercilessly.

“Ah! Horrible. Despicable human, I have answered your question, what exactly do you want!?” the Fire Demon King roared angrily. The fluctuations made everyone present feel the immense pain that the Fire Demon King was going through.

“With the strength of your soul, I believe that it would be no problem for it to continue burning in this Holy Fire for thousands of years. Although I will not wait that long, I can afford waiting half a month. That should be enough time for you to think about what you’ve missed out and did not tell me.” Lin Li stood up and looked quietly at the Fire Demon King’s corpse that was engulfed in flames, seemingly not preparing to stop it.

Lin Li didn’t believe that the Fire Demon King had stayed here for over 1000 years just to open the Gates of the Abyss. Opening the Gates of the Abyss and releasing the Fire Demons in the 66th floor of the abyss isn’t just for destroying Anril, is it? He remembered that Angelano once said that when the Fire Demon King was a slave to Osric, he also possessed an extremely powerful weapon.

Based on his inference, Lin Li felt that the powerful weapon was most likely to be the debris of the stars, Nothingness, which he had been looking for. Given the incredible power of Nothingness, how could the former user, the Fire Demon King, not be tempted?
