Another World's Versatile Crafting Master Chapter 1049 - World Sword

Chapter 1049: World Sword

d.a.m.n it! Lin Li cursed, and thrust the Helios’ Scepter into the ground forcefully, after which two sharp stone spikes suddenly emerged from the ground. His goal was the stomachs of two Behemoth Beasts. In Lin Li’s opinion, no matter how coa.r.s.e their skin was, their stomach would definitely be their weakness. The sharp stone spikes could poke holes in steel, let alone bodies made of flesh.

However, the outcome made Lin Li realize that he should never treat the bodies of the Behemoth Beasts as flesh. The two sharp stone spikes merely overturned the two Behemoth Beasts and left a white mark on their abdomens without causing any bleeding at all.

At this moment, the Golden Behemoth had already caught up with Lin Li, thus leaving him with no choice but to temporarily give up attacking the two Behemoth Beasts and launch his s.p.a.ce Robe immediately. He then flashed in another direction. However, this time, Lin Li also knew how tough the skin of the Behemoth Beasts was, and thus did not inspect or test it any further. Instead, he immediately whipped out the Light and Darkness Sword, and slashed the Behemoth Beasts without any mercy.

The defensive power of the Behemoth Beasts was definitely at the top in the entire Anril. Although Lin Li’s Light and Darkness Sword allowed him to easily kill a few Behemoth Beasts in one fell swoop, it was not as easy as slas.h.i.+ng and chopping them up. None of the Behemoth Beasts that died were dismembered. They had all died because their internal organs were destroyed by the Light and Darkness Sword.

Besides, the Light and Darkness Sword was considered one of the most powerful weapons that Lin Li had. Other than its astonis.h.i.+ng power, it also had a high consumption of mana. Usually, Lin Li would use the Light and Darkness Sword only when facing opponents that were in the Sanctuary-realm. However, he had to use it on the Behemoth Beasts that had yet to reach the Sanctuary-realm.

Fortunately, this world was the Meditation Land of Geresco, and the surrounding magical elements were extremely abundant. Casting the Light and Darkness Sword was not too taxing for Lin Li. However, he was particularly displeased because it was a waste of his powerful sword, yet he would not be able to kill the Behemoth Beasts without using it.

Lin Li continuously launched powerful attacks in front, bombarding the Behemoth Beasts surrounding him while the Golden Behemoth roared in anger and chased after him. Unfortunately, the Golden Behemoth was slow even though it was not clumsy. As long as Lin Li put his mind to it and focused on dodging, the Golden Behemoth could only chase after him.

The Golden Behemoth did not bring many Behemoth Beasts with it. Although dozens of Behemoth Beasts was definitely a staggering number in Anril, they only managed to last for a second under Lin Li’s full-swing ma.s.sacre before being slaughtered.

At this moment, Lin Li was finally willing to face the Golden Behemoth, but it had become even more terrifying this time. Seeing its underlings killed one by one in front of it, the Golden Behemoth would have exploded in anger if not for its thick skin[1].

At this moment, the Golden Behemoth’s body was emanating raging flames, and dense dark gold ancient runes began to appear on its skin, causing the surrounding air to be dyed with a golden halo, as if shrouded in a golden mist.

Seeing the changes the Golden Behemoth was undergoing, Lin Li knew that he had gone too far this time as he caused the Golden Behemoth to advance in a state of anger. He wondered if any of the Behemoths he killed were the mates or children of the Golden Behemoth. Of course, even if the Golden Behemoth suddenly advanced, it would not make Lin Li feel terrified. He would at most regard it as his last opponent in the Barbarous Arena.

Before the Golden Behemoth moved, Lin Li swung the Helios’ Scepter, and a Six-pointed Star Array appeared in front of him, followed by a ray of Divine Punishment Thunder, which blasted at the chest of the Golden Behemoth. The power of the Divine Punishment Thunder was enough to destroy a mountain peak, but Lin Li knew that it could not hurt the Golden Behemoth at all. What he needed was to make the Golden Behemoth feel numb because of the lightning.

If other mages found out that Lin Li had cast such a top Legendary-level magic spell for the sake of achieving an anesthetic effect, they would probably fly into a rage and scold him for being a wastrel. However, Lin Li knew that given the high defensive power of the Golden Behemoth, low-level thunder-series magic spells would not bring him the result he wanted at all. Only magic spells like the Divine Punishment Thunder would be likely to affect the enemy.

Among all the elemental magic spells, thunder-series magic spells had always been known for their sharpness and power. Their attacking speed was similar to that of the Holy Light Magic spells, and it was almost impossible for one to evade it unless they could move in a flash like Lin Li or attach their bodies to the void.

Due to their destructive nature, the power of the thunder-series magic spells surpa.s.sed their counterparts. At the same time, thunder-series magic spells also came with paralyzing effects that would usually decide the outcome during an intense battle.

From that point alone, thunder magic spells seemed to be the best option for mages. However, nothing in this world was perfect. Despite having such an attribute, thunder magic spells had never been the mainstream magic spell for the ages. The greatest reason was the difficulty in casting.

Although it was said that one would never be able to evade once their opponent cast thunder-series magic spells, and would suffer great damage, the casting duration was rather long; hence, the process of spell casting might easily be interrupted by the opponent. If magic could not be cast, what was the point of it being powerful? Thus, ice element magic that was powerful enough and easy to cast was the favorite among the mages.

However, for someone at Lin Li’s level, it was almost no longer a problem. Sanctuary Masters had already reached the stage of being able to cast instantaneous magic spells thanks to their mastery over and familiarity with all sorts of laws. For most Sanctuary-mages, casting spells was as simple as developing a thought, unless they were spells that were near the G.o.d-level like the one Geresco had left behind for sealing the s.p.a.cetime rift. Only those would require incantations or the condensation of mana.

In particular, Lin Li himself developed in the direction of mastering the World Laws, unlike most Sanctuary Masters who chose to focus on a single domain. Now, he could create a World Domain, and had mastered the various World Laws to a significant extent. Magic spells like the Divine Punishment Thunder would not be difficult for him.

The Golden Behemoth did not have any time to react, and a purple-golden thunderbolt that had a holy and menacing aura immediately bombarded its ma.s.sive body. Countless snake-like arcs of lightning immediately darted out of the Golden Behemoth’s body and leaped around with cackling sounds. Its appearance alone was hair-raising.

The Divine Punishment thunder was absolutely powerful, as its name suggested. However, as Lin Li had expected, after the Golden Behemoth was. .h.i.t by the Divine Punishment Thunder, Lin Li realized that it did not actually cause any damage to the Golden Behemoth’s body upon closer inspection.

However, Lin Li did not expect the Divine Punishment Thunder to be able to strike the Golden Behemoth down in one go. Despite the powerful magic defense of the Golden Behemoth, the Divine Punishment Thunder could bring about the numbing effect that he wanted. That fact alone was considered extraordinary. However, Lin Li did not carry high hopes for that small request. After all, luck had never been reliable, and real strength was the deciding factor.

Hence, after casting the Divine Punishment Thunder, Lin Li did not stop to check the situation. Instead, he followed the figure straight up into the sky. At the same time, a large amount of mana in his body surged into the Helios’ Scepter rapidly, causing the gemstone on the tip of the scepter to emit a dazzling light. The light almost shrouded his body as if a small sun had risen in mid-air.

At the same time, Lin Li had acutely sensed that the Golden Behemoth had indeed been very unfortunate to have entered a state of numbing under the blast of the Divine Punishment Thunder. Although the duration only lasted for a pathetic one-tenth of a second in the face of the Golden Behemoth’s resistance, that was already an extremely wonderful opportunity for Lin Li.

Lin Li knew that he had to seize the opportunity. Hence, he immediately pointed the Helios’ Scepter downwards, while the light from the gemstone immediately began condensing, and turning into a giant sword that could split the world open. It then slashed at the Golden Behemoth that was in a state of paralysis.

Although it was also a World Sword, Lin Li had put in more mana into this sword than usually. Even mountains that were made of steel would be slashed and broken by the sword. Even the strongest fortress in Anril would be cut into half by it.

However, when the powerful sword that would amaze and intimidate everyone first appeared in the world, it suffered a huge setback because of the Golden Behemoth’s body.

The blade of the giant sword slashed at the huge head of the Golden Behemoth, making a deafening sound that sounded as if heaven and earth collapsed. However, the Golden Behemoth had merely slipped into the mud, and the shock wave generated by the strong collision caused a large pit that was a few meters deep to form in the ground. The trees in the surroundings quaked and fell in all directions, forming a terrifyingly ma.s.sive blank area.

On the other hand, the World Sword that condensed all the World Laws that Lin Li had mastered appeared to be as fragile as gla.s.s after challenging the Golden Behemoth’s strong defensive power. It was immediately covered in dense cracks, and countless fragments even fell off and flew around.
