Chapter 597: Magic-forbidding Domain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Back at Roland City, Lin Li was lucky to win that battle in the Harvest Square. If not for the inborn weakness of the elves, the final winner would have been the elven Mage Vidas. However, not all Legendary-mages had an obvious flaw like the elves. Hence, Lin Li had prepared this Heart-piercing Potion to plot against Legendary-mages whom he couldn’t defeat. He hadn’t expected that he would drink this potion himself.

The Heart-piercing Potion was one of the items that Lin Li could rely on when he agreed to collaborate with the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade. Who would know that the collaboration would be so fragile in front of self interests? It wasn’t uncommon for collaborators to turn against one another after finding the treasure. If Lin Li didn’t have weapons like this potion, he could have quit the collaboration long ago.

However, Lin Li was forced by the powerful attack from the Elemental Wyrm to take a dangerous risk and drink this Heart-piercing Potion which was fatal to mages. Thinking of the pain that he had to endure, he wasn’t surprised that the Frost Domain would collapse. However, he didn’t expect the Light and Darkness Domain to change.

In the battle with the elven mage Vidas in the Harvest Square, Lin Li had a breakthrough in the Light and Darkness Domain under great pressure, and was better at utilizing Holy Light and Gloomy Dark. Although he had created the Frost Domain by his own understanding of Rules, the Light and Darkness Domain supported by Holy Light and Gloomy Dark was much more stable.

Lin Li dared to drink this Heart-piercing Potion because he knew that Holy Light and Gloomy Dark would sustain the Light and Darkness Domain even when he couldn’t use any mana. After all, while the Heart-piercing Potion was very powerful, Holy Light and Gloomy Dark were true miracles. However, the Light and Darkness Domain had changed now. He was very worried as he didn’t know if this change was good or bad.

Even Lin Li couldn’t make out the changes happening to him, let alone the projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm. To the Wyrm, its opponent was just a mere human mage. It felt humiliated that it didn’t manage to kill this mage even after such a long time.

Now, the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar was even more furious. At first, its magic attack could still shatter its opponent’s magic defense. However, its magic disappeared in the air before it could even get near to its opponent now. The Elemental Wyrm’s shadow roared, and the magical elements all around became more intense. Countless powerful spells gushed towards Lin Li.

However, the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar felt power merging from Lin Li’s body immediately after that. Under the influence of this power, the magical elements all around didn’t seem to be under the Wyrm’s control anymore. The elements seemed to be frightened and gushed out.

As the magical elements started to escape, the power of the magic that the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar released decreased exponentially. In the blink of an eye, it realized that the magical elements had been depleted.

The Elemental Wyrm’s mana was limitless because it possessed the Rules of the four elements. Thus, its source of power was the four magical elements in the world. However, it now couldn’t absorb the slightest bit of magical elements no matter how hard it tried. Not to mention releasing magic, it was feeling a little tired just by flying.

Facing this kind of situation, the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar was no longer furious. It looked terrified and kept flapping its colorful wings, flying in circles as if trying to find its lost power. Unlike other Wyrms which had powerful bodies even if they couldn’t use magical power anymore, the Elemental Wyrm didn’t have much physical strength.

Lin Li’s back which was arched due to the excruciating pain was slowly growing straight. He had finally endured the pain brought by the Heart-piercing Potion. He had an answer to the change in his Light and Darkness Domain now. Under the effect of the Heart-piercing Potion, the Light and Darkness Domain became a Magic-forbidding Domain.

A Magic-forbidding Domain would forbid all forms of magical elements. Thus, all kinds of magic would lose its effect inside this domain. This was a Warrior’s heaven and a Mage’s hell. However, Lin Li knew that this Magic-forbidding Domain was built upon the Heart-piercing Potion, and there was a time limit to this potion’s effect. If he couldn’t defeat the Elemental Wyrm’s shadow before the Heart-piercing Potion lost its effect, his life would be in real danger.

However, it wasn’t hard to deal with an Elemental Wyrm without mana. Lin Li curved his lips and smiled.

Just then, the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar’s eyes were filled with terror and confusion. The raging flames on its body disappeared, and it yelped while waving its tiny claws frantically in the air. While a tiger without teeth could still use its claws and tail, an Elemental Wyrm without mana was weaker than a cat.

“After I’ve been beaten by you for so long, now it’s my turn to beat you!” Lin Li took out a huge hammer from his back and tapped on the hammerhead. He said, “Connoris, stop pretending to be dead! Come and hit this Elemental Wyrm too! This is a rare opportunity!”

Connoris’ voice rang in Lin Li’s mind, though he sounded rather scornful. “Hmph, it’s just a projected avatar, and not a real Elemental Wyrm. Back when I was a Soul Trader—”

However, Lin Li was just being courteous, and wasn’t interested to listen to Connoris brag about his past glory at all. Before Connoris could finish his sentence, Lin Li cut him off mercilessly and said, “A real Elemental Wyrm? I don’t want to accompany you if you want to die.”

As a mage, Lin Li faced so many stares because he carried a hummer around. However, judging from the situation now, this hammer was finally useful. Though Lin Li was a mage, he was also a Smithing Guru. While his body strength couldn’t match a Legendary Sword Sage’s, he wouldn’t lose out to a typical Warrior. Even without mana, it wasn’t difficult for him to deal with this Elemental Wyrm using just physical strength.

The petite projected avatar of the Elemental Wyrm appeared to be more anxious, just as if it had felt Lin Li’s killing intent. However, it was hard for it to even fly without mana. The transparent wings behind its back flapped hard, but still couldn’t make it fly faster.

If there was a woman present, she would try her best to stop Lin Li from this violence. This was because the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar looked so pitiful without its raging flames, making any woman want to hug it tight and caress it with love. She wouldn’t let it experience the slightest pain, let alone to hit it with a hammer.

However, Lin Li wasn’t an affectionate and caring person. He was furious because of the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar’s magic attack bombardment just now. He even had to endure the excruciating pain brought by the Heart-piercing Potion because of this little bastard. Lin Li wanted to smash it flat with the hammer.

Lin Li held onto the Helios’ Scepter with his left hand and carried the huge hammer with Connoris’ soul using his right hand. With a step, his body shot out towards the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar like an arrow.

This was a ridiculous battle. A human Legendary-mage and an Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar which possessed the Rules of the four elements were having a physical fight in the valley. Of course, the situation was completely reversed. Lin Li hit the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar mercilessly with his hammer.

The Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar didn’t have any chance to retaliate. It could only flap its wings with all its might, trying to leave this bizarre place as soon as possible. However, its flying speed was even slower than a person’s walking speed. It was like a balloon floating slowing in midair.

“You want to run? No chance!” Lin Li gritted his teeth, and waved his huge hammer quickly.

The Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar yelped in pain. With the heavy hammer and Lin Li’s physical strength as a Smithing Guru, every hit sent the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar into the air.

How could the bat-sized Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar endure such attacks? It was hit so many times it didn’t know where to run. When it had finally come to its senses, Lin Li started his attacks again.

After a few hits, the Elemental Wyrm’s projected avatar already couldn’t fly, and struggled on the ground pitifully. Its beautiful wings were torn and fractured, hanging uselessly on its back. Its adorable appearance now looked tragic. Its whimpers sounded so pitiful.

“Damn it! Stop pretending to be pitiful!” Lin Li wasn’t deceived by this little thing’s pitiful appearance. Once his Magic-forbidding Domain lost its effect, this little Wyrm would be more ferocious than ever. If it was a typical magical beast, letting it go would possibly let him tame it. However, this little bastard was a projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm, so it couldn’t be tamed.

As a projected avatar of an Elemental Wyrm which was likely to be the Dragon of Dream, it was now hit continuously by a mere human mage using a hammer without any means of retaliation. If it hadn’t been a projected avatar but a real Elemental Wyrm or the Dragon of Dream which was one of the five Dragon Aspects, it would have suicided because of humiliation.
