Chapter 642 - : Orderly Maze
However, Cheyenne did not come here aiming for the control center. He simply felt that there could be the Immortal King’s treasure or the relics of the High Elves in the tower that was in the middle of the city. Although the tower was not the only one in the Sky Castle, anyone with brains would think that being the one in the middle often meant that it was the most important.
After hearing Cheyenne’s encounter, Lin Li began to keep his guard up against the Sky Castle. Hence, he did not hide anything regarding the tower being the control center of the Sky Castle.
Although Lin Li now had by his side the Vampire Norfeller, who had just reached Level-21, Lich Ujfalusi who was at the peak of level-22, and two Legendary Humerus Wyrms, Lin Li still had no confidence in his power, and was not certain that he could cope with what he might encounter next.
Especially after meeting Cheyenne again and realizing that it was likely that the psychotic High Elves had all studied Necromagic and even applied it on the Sky Castle, Lin Li felt the need to have more competent assistants. Although Cheyenne got harmed by the Legendary Vengeful Spirits, that did not mean that he was particularly weak. If Lin Li had been in his place instead, he would probably have been unable to withstand the attacks of the Vengeful Spirits more easily than Cheyenne.
However, Lin Li merely talked about the central tower, but did not give any explanation about the labyrinth-like streets Cheyenne had mentioned subtly. The Conquering Mageweath was considered one of the top-level mageweaths even amongst Guru-level mageweaths. Perhaps only a few High Elves knew about it. Although Cheyenne was the closest to Lin Li in this cooperation, their bond wasn’t strong enough for him to really come clean about everything.
Although Cheyenne found the maze to be very strange, he did not continue probing when he noticed that Lin Li didn’t seem too keen about talking about it. In his opinion, it was probably just some magic gears or booby traps. Since he had already barged in, there was no need to look further into it.
In fact, Cheyenne was now the weakest amongst the several forces, and the only trusted ally of his was Lin Li and the Tower of Dusk. On the surface, he seemed to have accepted Lin Li’s invitation calmly, but he was in fact more than happy. Hence, despite knowing that Lin Li was hiding something, he decided not to probe any further for fear that he would lose his ally.
The group arrived in front of the central tower, and Lin Li stopped in his tracks all of a sudden. Staring at the seemingly ordinary door, his forehead gradually creased into a frown.
Compared to Anril, the Endless Abyss was a place of survival of the fittest. The Demon Lord who could rule a layer of the Abyss was definitely the strongest demon in that layer because he had to challenge the previous lord and brave various battles to take the throne.
