Chapter 430 - Confession
Actually, Lin Li had been somewhat worried at the start—worried that he would need to expend a lot of effort before he could find out the truth from this warrior leader—but he had not expected that Sendros would give him a surprise. He immediately used the cruelest and bloodiest Thousand Soul Spell and scared that poor Warrior until he went mad.
The Warrior’s psychological defenses were totally crushed, and interrogation became much easier. Lin Li did not even use much effort, and already managed to get the information he wanted.
The Warrior answered while trembling with fear, yet Lin Li whispered a “thank you” to Sendros.
It was because Lin Li knew that Sendros’ Thousand Soul Spell was used to help him. Although the old man was one of the most vicious Necromancers, he was not some merciless demon king. In fact, when one had reached the level of those like Lin Li and Sendros, killing was not so simple. They no longer willfully slaughtered just to satisfy their thirst for blood, but they would not be irresolute and hesitant because of their virtue and morals, either. To them, killing was just a method to strike fear into their enemies.
Just like Lin Li had done in the Demon Fall Valley and Scar of Death—a single spell caused hundreds to lose their lives. If it was an average person, they would feel that their body and hands were filled with sin. However, in Lin Li’s mind, this was merely a method to continue surviving.
If he had not used Thousand Miles of Ice on hundreds of bandits in the Demon Fall Valley, the second Shadow’s Nest would’ve definitely emerged from one of those ambitious forces in Jarrosus, causing the Emerald Tower to be in danger at any given time or place. It was the same at the border of the Scar of Death. Although Lin Li had looked composed, he was afraid on the inside. Who would not be afraid after being watched by a gigantic entity such as the Malfa Family? Hence, Lin Li had to use Vanskore’s death to warn Hutton that if it were to happen again, the next person to die could be Hutton himself…
Facts also proved that Lin Li was right. The destruction of the Shadow’s Nest caused all of the forces of Jarrosus to submit. So far, there was not a single force that dared to disrespect the Emerald Tower. Vanskore’s death had also similarly allowed Hutton to feel Lin Li’s ruthlessness. Otherwise, he would not have stood up Lin Li and Sendros on the next day…
The Malfa Family had at least 400 men on their side. Most of them were Adventurers recruited from different places. As for the side of the Dark Blade, it would be much fewer. All in all, there were only 100 or so men. It was just that they were really powerful.
Lin Li hastily took a look, and could see that there were at least tens of powerhouses level-15 and above. Among them, the 10 level-18 Archmages that the Warrior leader had mentioned were currently using Levitation Spell to fly in the sky, constantly bombarding the ground with spells…
Although the Adventurers that the Malfa Family had recruited were many, only 10 or so were truly level-15 and above. Once they met a true powerhouse, their inferior strength was immediately exposed. There were hundreds of Adventurers that were pressured by the 10 Archmages till they could no longer lift their heads. They were completely suppressed, passively taking a beating. If it were not because they relied on the terrain advantage, they would have been completely overrun by the Dark Blade by this point.
“Weird, where is Hutton…?” The Warlock’s Eyes searched around the battlefield, but could not locate Hutton.
Furthermore, it was not just Hutton. That young level-17 Archmage from the Dark Blade had apparently never participated in the battle. Lin Li looked on and started to feel curious. Anyone would know that the Malfa Family and Dark Blade were two big forces that could not coexist. Why was it that their subordinates were fighting for their lives, yet these two were hiding somewhere…?
Unless…
Just when Lin Li’s mind was full of questions, the Warlock’s Eyes drifted past the Crimson Python’s nest. In an instant, a thought flashed past Lin Li’s mind.
