Chapter 1300: Moonlight Magic Staff
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
More importantly, everyone here had long gotten the news that the two Legendary-level archbishops of the Brilliance Shrine, and High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, who was already a Sanctuary powerhouse, were already in this fortress.
For ordinary people, a Legendary powerhouse was already an admirable existence, while Sanctuary powerhouses were mythical figures. Hence, when they heard that there were Legendary powerhouses and Sanctuary powerhouses in the fortress, the warriors in the fortress were much less fearful when facing the raging Black Current, as if they had found a new faith.
However, in Anril, the Black Current of the Sunset Mountains was indeed not the most dangerous thing. At the same time that the Black Current erupted in the Sunset Mountains, there was an invasion of prehistoric magical beasts in several other places in Anril.
In the sky above the Emerald Forest where the elves lived, a dark rift slowly opened like an eye. The Evil Eye that was waving its countless tentacles, a Chimaera that had fleshy wings on its back, and all sorts of other prehistoric magical beasts landed on the forest like raindrops.
Some of the land were settlements of small clans where the elves resided, and suffered a destructive catastrophe almost in an instant. The elegant and beautiful elves no longer cared about mannerism as they all began to launch counterattacks against the prehistoric magical beasts.
The beautiful sacred lake, the Heart of Emerald, where the royal elves resided was dyed red with the blood of the elves and the prehistoric magical beasts.. The elven queen and the elders of the elven clans were fighting ferociously against an Evil Eye Tyrant as well as a four-headed Chimaera in the sky and on the ground.
The death mist in the Shadowglen in Alanna, the capital of the Felan Kingdom, where countless Undead creatures had gathered, had become much thinner. A bunch of Earth Fire Dragon Rhinoceros rushed out from the cracks in the ground as One-Eyed Giants chased them out, trampling all the existences in their path.
At this moment, the three great Undead Lords of the Shadowglen seemed to be extremely disheveled. Even the magic tides couldn’t allow them to reach the Sanctuary-realm. In this apocalyptic disaster, they still seemed too weak.
Just as the three Undead Lords were almost feeling hopeless, a figure suddenly emerged in midair, while a large fireball that resembled the sun charged towards the prehistoric magical beasts. In an instant, a hole was blasted in the originally somewhat densely packed bunch of prehistoric magical beasts.
At this moment, the three Undead Lords finally got a clear glimpse of the person who had saved them. It was Megard, the arbitrator of the Supreme Council who had been here before.
Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine and Arbitrator Apophis of the Supreme Council could be considered the top powerhouses of Anril, but at this time, both of them had a grim look on their faces, and their eyes were glued to the enemy opposite them. They didn’t dare to relax at all.
“The air in Anril is really not comparable to that of the rift, especially this overwhelming smell of fear. I really miss the rift,” said a monster with a human head but a snake’s body that was floating in midair. It was hundreds of meters long, and its head was full of densely packed venomous snakes.
This human-headed snake-bodied monster was Queen Medusa that existed in myths and legends. Her strength had reached the level of the demigods, and she was truly an old monster that had survived since the prehistoric times. Even during the prehistoric times, she was one of the very few top powerhouses.
On the ground, countless Medusas were besieging the Holy Mountain of Light and fighting vigorously against the Brilliance Shrine. In fact, even the believers of Light had no choice but to retreat.
In this disaster that swept throughout the world, the Breezy Plains could scarcely remain unaffected. While the cracks spread in all directions and the prehistoric magical beasts descended, a horrifying change that shocked countless people occurred in the sky above Doland where the Tower of Dusk was located.
An eye appeared in the massive spacetime rift, and rolled around, as if it were peeking at the world through the rift. Gradually, the rift got larger and larger, and fingers that were almost as thick as a mountain peak appeared on both sides of the rift, as if they were trying to tear the rift open themselves because it was just opening too slow.
Below the spacetime rift, many powerhouses of the Breezy Plains had already gathered there, along with Norfeller and Ujfalusi, who had been sent over by the Tower of Dusk. The Lord Devourer Garl, whose body was like a giant worm, as well as the Elemental Dragon, Xiao Hua, whose body shone with a brilliant light of mana, appeared at the same time.
All of them looked nervously at the changes in the sky. Although the other party had yet to fully descend, they had all felt a terrifyingly powerful aura from the rift.
The aura was vast and full of violence, so much so that everyone below couldn’t help but be frightened by it. In particular, the Legendary powerhouses felt extremely small, and they even began to experience breathing difficulties.
As that rift gradually opened, the terrifying existence inside finally squeezed out of it. Its massive head and half of its strong body had appeared, making the people below think of the legendary and famous existence.
“Titan, it’s actually a Titan!” the two pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses of the Mithril Alliance, Elvis and Rojet, exclaimed in unison.
The other pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses and Legendary powerhouses seemed to have suddenly been jolted awake as they stared at the giant that was struggling to get out of the rift with shock, fear, and horror written all over their faces.
Titans were one of the protagonists of the prehistoric times who had once fought the ancient wyrms for the rulership of Anril. It could be said that during the prehistoric times, the Titans and the ancient wyrms were the most powerful races. Although there were many top powerhouses among the other prehistoric magical beasts, their overall strength was still no match for these two top races.
However, after the end of the prehistoric times, the ancient wyrms still had some descendants, but the Titans had almost completely disappeared from Anril. No one expected that the Titans would reappear in Anril tens of thousands of years after the end of the prehistoric times.
“It’s a Titan,” Lin Li said as he stood on the terrace of the Omniscient Tower while looking at the giant that was breaking free from the rift in the distance. He thought about what the Flame Dragon Lothar had once said.
When stopping the Flame Dragon Lothar from entering Anril, that old dragon, which had been sleeping for countless years, had once roared and tried to compete with the Titans again. However, at that time, Lin Li and others thought that the old dragon Lothar was either dazed from sleeping for too long or had become senile. They didn’t believe that there was a single surviving Titan at all.
However, now it seemed that the Flame Dragon Lothar had indeed not spouted nonsense, because the Titans had never really left Anril. Instead, they had still been paying close attention, and had been awaiting the opportunity to regain dominance in Anril.
However, even so, Lin Li did not think of letting the ancient wyrm, Flame Dragon Lothar, in. The laws of Anril were out of balance, and the spatial barriers were already covered in holes. Thus, if he really allowed the ancient wyrms and Titans to use this place as a battlefield again, this world probably wouldn’t be far from destruction.
There was a sudden sound of a horn that penetrated straight through the clouds, as if it could travel tens of thousands of kilometers.
In accordance with Lin Li’s instructions, Norfeller blew the ice horn, which was a token left to Lin Li by the Iceblast Wyrm, Sindera, who claimed that it could help Lin Li in a battle.
All along, Lin Li had never used this horn to summon the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, be it when he was facing Osric or High Priest Poer who was below the Cursed Island.
Now that Lin Li had become stronger than the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera, there was no longer a need for him to retain this horn as a trump card. Not wanting to let it go to waste, he handed it to Norfeller, and asked him to use the power of the Iceblast Wyrm accordingly in correspondence to the situation.
As the horn sounded, the surrounding temperature suddenly plunged significantly, and a silvery white dragon then emerged from the void, and appeared in the sky.
Before Sindera could ask about the reason that he had been summoned, his attention was immediately attracted by the Titan in the rift as soon as he appeared.
“It’s the Titan! Arisandes!” Sindra called out the name of that Titan immediately. Clearly, he had already known the Titan since the prehistoric times. At this moment, the Titan also stopped moving, and looked down at the Iceblast Wyrm Sindera. He said in a thunderous voice, “Sindera, I didn’t expect you to have become like this after such a long time!”
Sindera had already lost his body. Although he had somehow condensed a body with the power of the Sanctuary-realm, there were still obvious differences. After discovering the change, the Titan spoke in a contemptuous tone, clearly gloating over Sindera’s unfortunate plight.
The ancient wyrms and the Titans could be said to be at odds against each other. Countless wars had broken out between them in the prehistoric times, and countless members of their races had also died, making it impossible to bury the hatchet. The loss of his body had already made Sindera rather depressed in the first place, and now he was actually ridiculed by his enemy. Anger surged within him uncontrollably.
“I might have lost my body, but it’s still a piece of cake for me to kill you!” Sindera raised the wings on his back, and flew towards the Titan in the rift while spewing a mass of ice flames from his mouth.
The Titan similarly reached out and summoned a Titan Dragon Spear to draw a thunderbolt, which surged towards the ice flame dragon’s breath. While blasting away the ice flame, the Titan suddenly applied strength, and finally emerged from the spatial rift.
The first Titan was like a plunger that stopped water from flowing out of a pool. As he finally jumped out of the spatial rift, numerous other Titans immediately emerged one after another.
Titans did not have the ability to fly. After coming out of the spatial rift, they smashed into the ground with a violent whistling, just like meteors. In the blink of an eye, everything on the ground was destroyed by the Titans, and more than 20 Titans stood on the ground like mountains.
“Fight, if you want to survive, you have to fight!” Looking at Norfeller and Ujfalusi who had already moved towards the Titans, the pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses of the various forces of the Breezy Plains also raised their weapons.
Just as the Titans descended, Lin Li, who had been standing as quietly as a statue on the terrace at the top of the City of Destruction, finally moved too.
However, Lin Li didn’t go over to provide support for the people of the Breezy Plains, nor did he go to any of the battlefields that the people of the Felan Kingdom and Ledin Kingdom were fighting in. Instead, he maneuvered the Sky Castle, and moved it to the Great Whirlpool where the Tree of Eternity was said to have collapsed.
Legend had it that the Great Whirlpool appeared on the ground because Geresco destroyed the High Elves’ Tree of Eternity. No one knew exactly where the Great Whirlpool led to, and no one had ever gotten out alive after entering it. Thus, the Great Whirlpool was definitely one of the most dangerous places in Anril. However, due to the fact that no terrifying life forms had emerged, no one really paid attention to it.
Lin Li remembered getting a message from Brahere’s soul when he was in Prince Brahere’s mausoleum. It stated that he could find the weapon he had used in the Great Whirlpool. Although Brahere’s soul had treated Lin Li as the Immortal King, Lin Li was certain that the weapon should be the Stars of Fury that he was looking for.
Besides, Lin Li had clearly sensed that a great rift in which an absolutely terrifying existence was hidden was right above the Great Whirlpool.
The dragon wings on both sides of the City of Destruction flapped slightly twice, and the huge Sky Castle immediately vanished without a trace. Almost at the same time, the massive City of Destruction was gradually revealed 5,000 kilometers away in the sky above the Great Whirlpool. It then gradually solidified.
“Moonlight Staff!” Lin Li took out the Moonlight Staff that he had obtained from Prince Brahere’s mausoleum, which was the very same one that the Immortal King had given to the High Elven queen. According to Prince Brahere’s message, he would be able to retrieve the Stars of Fury by bringing the Moonlight Staff to the Great Whirlpool where the Tree of Eternity had fallen.
In fact, the Moonlight Staff was a weapon that Lin Li had obtained in the Endless World. However, Lin Li had long gotten used to that, and couldn’t be bothered to study it anymore. Anyway, so many things from the Endless World had already appeared in this world, and one more wouldn’t make a difference.
Lin Li didn’t chant any incantations or inject his mental strength into it. Instead, he took out the Moonlight Staff, which could only be used by the High Elves’ descendants. As soon as he did, it began emitting brilliant rays of light. The light on the staff became more and more dazzling as it began to spread everywhere, shrouding the massive Great Whirlpool.
