Chapter 191 - Sky Castle
“Are you kidding me!?” Lin Li broke out in a cold sweat. The Ore Devouring Beast, with the strength of at least level-15, was turned into ashes in an instant. This could almost rival the power of a legendary spell. Lin Li felt his legs turn weak when he recalled passing through the same colorful spectrum earlier on.
Lin Li stood there with cold sweat in his palms, desperately trying to recall what had happened in that moment… The roar of the Ore Devouring Beast, the burning fireball, the colorful spectrum…
Oh, yes, yes—and the Torrent of Elements Ring that was dazzling with red light!
At the thought of this, Lin Li raised his hand in confusion and examined the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand with a strange look. The dark red light still flickered faintly; the scorching heat seemed to have been solidified…
That was right; it was the Torrent of Elements Ring!
Lin Li remembered it distinctly—when he passed through the colorful spectrum, the red light on the Torrent of Elements Ring seemed to gleam all of a sudden. At that moment, the colorful glow was like a shield; it not only firmly protected himself, but also Sean and Argus, who were beside him.
Lin Li scratched his head with a sluggish look on his face. There was probably more to the secrets of the Torrent of Elements Ring than he had imagined.
Of course—this wasn’t a real Sky Castle.
Compared with the real Sky Castle, this edifice was at most the tip of the iceberg. The seven almost invincible fortresses of war were much larger than the edifice before them. In the distant dark ages, the Sky Castle was also known as “the castle that never falls”. With the support of magic civilization at its peak, one Sky Castle could even destroy a country.
1,200 years later, most of the facts had disappeared in the long river of time, but various signs showed that although the coalition forces had won the war back then, they had most likely used some shady means to fight against the seven Sky Castles…
But one thing was certain. The edifice was essentially the same as the Sky Castle. It was also powered by elemental forces and built with magical materials.
The burning fire was the power source of this palace. Judging from the blood-red color, the main material of this edifice was probably the Infernal Magic Iron that Lin Li longed for. If Lin Li’s memory served him well, the glaze on the roof that was similar to a dragon’s scale was likely polished by the Sun’s Crystal of general size…
This luxurious architectural style drove Lin Li insane just thinking about it…
Whether it was the Infernal Magic Iron or the Sun’s Crystal, they were all precious magical materials. But here, they were used as construction materials. Such a huge palace would have consumed enough materials to buy a city if it had been converted into gold coins.
From what Lin Li saw, “luxurious” was no longer adequate to describe it…
“Hell…” Argus lay on Sean’s shoulder; his eyes were glazed and his expression was dull.
Although Argus looked ghastly in his current state, he was once a level-16 Archmage. How could he not even know what Lin Li knew? It was possible that he knew better than Lin Li what a floating palace meant.
Of the three, perhaps only Sean could remain calm—he did not have any idea about magical materials, let alone what the Sky Castle was. In his eyes, it was probably just a weird building, just like the Emerald Tower in Jarrosus City…
When Lin Li stood there, the Torrent of Elements Ring on his hand was searing; Lin Li even felt this strange ring was struggling desperately to be rid of his control and rush up to the blazing fire in the sky. When Lin Li clenched his fist, he could even hear a voice in his heart constantly urging himself, “Go up, go up!”
“Sean, take off your leather armor.” Lin Li gritted his teeth fiercely. He decided to go up and see it anyway. If he did not take a look at a palace like this, he was afraid that he would be tortured by curiosity in time to come.
“Orh!” Sean did not question, and took off his leather armor right away, baring his toned muscles.
Sean tried to take off his gloves as well after handing the leather armor to Lin Li, but was stopped. “No need for the gloves. The leather armor is enough.”
Lin Li took the leather and put it on his back just to hide the spot that was torn by the Ore Devouring Beast.
The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind could provide the power for the Sky Castle to function. The magnificent palace before them was obviously powered by fire, which was the fruit of the High Elves’ civilization. The magic power contained in it was far beyond ordinary people’s ability to endure.
Fortunately, Lin Li was wearing Fire Salamandrid leather armor. As long as it could cover the area torn off by the Ore Devouring Beast, he could even dive in magma.
After putting the leather armor on his body, Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and achingly pulled out half of the incomplete black lotus.
At the sight of the partial black lotus, Lin Li couldn’t help but glare at Argus. His bitter and hateful eyes immediately frightened Argus, but he couldn’t understand why this cruel fellow should look at himself with such freakish eyes…
