Chapter 1098: Spirit Separation
Chapter 1098: Separation of Spirits
Even Lin Li still had a faint feeling that there seemed to be an invisible force influencing him and others along the way. ("》7* Although they have experienced many obstacles along the way, except for the shadow of the Well of the Sun, it seems that every enemy they encounter has not exceeded the limit of the exploration team, or the ability of Lin Li. As a result, every battle, although it seems extremely difficult, will always turn the danger into a disaster in the end.
Lin Li didn't think that the Immortal King's Sky City was really something that a person like himself who had just entered the realm of the Holy Realm could easily invade. If that's really the case, the Immortal King's Sky City seems to be too unworthy of the name, and the Immortal King can't be called the first person in mythology.
So along the way, although Lin Li didn't mention it to anyone, the feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer. Someone who hopes that he will finally reach his destination, and at the same time does not want to attract the attention and suspicion of himself and others, then this person may have to be Osric.
It was precisely because of this discovery that Lin Li's heart became more and more certain that what Osric really valued most was not the strongest magic weapon in the Sky City, but the special control magic crystal. So, don't look at Lin Li's previous time, it seems that he is about to put the control magic crystal on the console, but in fact, it is just a decoy. It wasn't really Sky City controlling the magic crystals, but one of the weird magic crystals that Lin Li had obtained from the Marfa family that could devour magic power when he was in the Death Scars.
As for whether this bait can be swallowed by Osric, Lin Li can't say that he is 100% sure, but at least he has seventy or eighty percent confidence. Because according to his previous speculation, Lin Li could fully believe that what Osric had been waiting for was the moment when he would take the control crystal out of the Ring of Immersturm.
After all, with Osric's strength, it wasn't really difficult to clean up Lin Li's people, but he was able to kill Lin Li, but he couldn't take the control crystal out of the Layers of Immersturm. If Osric wants to gain control of the magic crystal, he can only wait for Lin Li to take it out by himself, and then snatch it.
The only thing that worries Lin Li is whether Osric is familiar with controlling magic crystals, and whether he will recognize the difference between controlling magic crystals and decoys.
After all, Lin Li still hasn't figured out the true origin of controlling the magic crystal, and he only knows that the role of controlling the magic crystal is not just to control the sky city. 《》. When he first explored Sky City, he had been tempered by the control of the magic crystal, and at the same time, he had obtained a lot of information left by the Immortal King.
Therefore, although Lin Li had already used alchemy to transform the strange magic crystal used as bait into the shape of the control magic crystal before he came to Sky City, he had achieved the effect of being fake and real, and even the magic power fluctuations were very similar. However, the kind of power that controls the magic crystal cannot be created by Lin Li.
Lin Li's worries did not diminish in the slightest until the moment Osric snatched the bait from him. It wasn't until he and Osric started a battle for the spiritual level in the magic crystal that his worries finally subsided. Even the spiritual power infiltrated into it, but he didn't find the problem of the magic crystal, which shows that Osric is really not very familiar with the real control of the magic crystal.
However, in order not to make Osric suspicious, Lin Li still did not relax at all, and made a desperate posture of grabbing, even at the cost of paying a huge price. Even in the final moments, when Osric was about to put the bait on the console, Lin Li still vividly expressed his despair, powerlessness and unwillingness.
It wasn't until the weird magic crystal was activated, and Osric's magic power became violent, that Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Despite Osric's unattainable strength, Lin Li was not too worried that Osric would be free from the influence of the strange crystal in a short period of time.
Although, this kind of magic crystal that can devour magic power, Lin Li doesn't know their origin very well, and the Marfa family only discovered this strange magic crystal by chance. However, after such a long period of research, Lin Li already had a very clear understanding of the nature of this strange magic crystal. Even, Lin Li often used this characteristic of this magic crystal to exercise his control of magic power.
Lin Li was able to do this, one reason was that his spiritual power had been tempered by the control magic crystal, and the other reason was the research of the past few years. And Osric, although in the realm, is much stronger than Lin Li, but it is almost impossible to understand and master this characteristic of the magic crystal in a short period of time.
Of course, this is not to say that the plan is really foolproof, in fact, there is also the biggest problem here, which is that Osric has not been exposed to this kind of magic crystal before. In this regard, although Lin Li was already aware of this strange magic crystal from the Ash Warlock, it did not seem to have appeared in the Dark Ages, but for the sake of safety, another trap was designed inside. The latest chapter of the Templar.
In that magic crystal, Lin Li has already hidden a wisp of spiritual power, containing the power of Mephisto, the lord of the soul, which can isolate people's souls from **. In the previous battle between Lin Li and Osric in the magic crystal, it was actually more important to use it to cover for this hidden spiritual power, so as to prevent Osric from using his spiritual power to deeply probe the magic crystal.
After getting the Immortal King's notes from the Ash Warlock, Lin Li knew that the perfect body created by Osric actually had some flaws. It was precisely because of these imperceptible defects that Conneris could not perfectly integrate with his new body in the first place, and Osric also encountered such problems.
It is precisely because of this judgment that when Lin Li designed the bait, he designed such a trap in the bait just in case.
And when he first saw Osric just now, Lin Li had already seen that the fusion of Osric's soul and new body was indeed not very perfect, and there were still certain problems. Although the new body was tailor-made for himself by Osric, it was clear that the flaws in it had not been fully compensated. So much so that even a strong person like Osric needs a considerable amount of time to get his soul to fully adapt to his new body.
Therefore, at the same time that Osric put the magic crystal on the console, triggering the strange power of the magic crystal, Lin Li also immediately launched the trap he left behind. Although this small trap could only have a momentary effect on Osric, this moment of soul isolation made Osric lose the best time to get rid of the magic crystal.
Magic is like water, the magic of rushing is a river, the magic of calm is a lake, once the balance is broken, it is as difficult to stand still as a dam. Because of this, no matter how powerful a mage is, he will not dare to use his magic power wantonly, because once the process of magic collapse begins, it can no longer be reversed. The same is true of the current Great Lord, whose magic power was devoured by madness, which soon led to the collapse of his magic power.
The surging magic poured out of Osric's body, like a flash flood. Faced with such a situation, even if Osric was already standing at the peak of the Holy Domain, he was powerless to suppress it at all, and he couldn't even let out a roar, so he could only look at Lin Li with infinite hatred in his eyes.
The collapse of the magic made it impossible for the perfect body to sustain it, and in the eyes of people, Osric's appearance became old and decayed at an extremely fast rate. Soon, Osric, who had just been full of vigor and domineering, turned into a shriveled and old man, with his body slumped, and the skin on his body had lost its luster, full of wrinkles and blue-black scars.
Osric's appearance reminded Lin Li of the appearance of the Ash Warlock he had seen for the first time. It's just that the Ash Warlock has been around for too long, and his body naturally ages and decays, while Osric has a lot of life lost due to the collapse of his magic.
Seeing this change in Osric, Archbishop Martin and the others finally understood why Lin Li stopped himself and the others from attacking. But at the same time, they also felt an incomparably shocked in their hearts, that was a powerhouse at the peak of the Holy Domain, how could it be made like this!
The obstruction gave Archbishop Martin and the others reason to believe that the reason why Osric fell into such a situation was due to this young Sanctuary powerhouse. And as soon as this thought came out, a chill uncontrollably rose from the depths of their hearts, instantly replacing the joy of the rest of their lives.
This kind of calculation is really terrifying, it is even more terrifying than the powerful strength of the Sacred Realm realm. Osric, one of the most famous geniuses of the Dark Ages, was not only in strength and talent, but also possessed unparalleled intelligence. But such a stunning character, a seemingly invincible peak powerhouse of the Holy Domain, actually ended up in such a miserable situation under calculation!
Archbishop Martin and the others had to feel fortunate that in this exploration of Sky City, they and the others did not stand on the opposite side of the Tower of Dusk, otherwise they would have been calculated to the point that there would be no scum left.
Of course, they wouldn't know that from the very beginning of their meeting with Lin Li, they had already been labeled as cannon fodder in Lin Li's calculations.
Looking at Osric's appearance, his rapid aging and decay, almost everyone thought that the big picture was decided. However, at this moment, an illusory shadow suddenly rushed out of Osric's body, and then infinite magic covered the exploration team.
This sudden change suddenly startled Archbishop Martin and others, and it was too late to deal with it. Fortunately, Lin Li seemed to have been prepared, and the seven star fragments submerged into the void, and the domain world immediately enveloped the exploration team's side, and the layers of defense met the overwhelming magic attack.
"That's it, Osric's soul!" In the violent collision between magic and the realm world, Archbishop Martin and the others finally reacted, and were shocked to find that the phantom that flew out of Osric's body was actually Osric's soul.
This frightened Archbishop Martin and the others a lot, and they only then realized that Osric was a powerhouse at the peak of the Sanctuary, even if it was just a soul, it was not something that ordinary people could contend with. The powerhouse at the peak of the Holy Domain is already close to the existence of the gods, even if the body is old and decayed, but the soul is almost indestructible, and the strength he has will not be much weaker because of the loss of his body.
The battle just now had already proved the horror of the peak powerhouses of the Sacred Domain, and these people in the exploration team were simply a bunch of scum in front of Osric, and together with Lin Li in the Sacred Realm realm, they were almost unable to fight back. Now, Osric's soul has come out, and his strength is not much weaker than the original, so what happens to these people in the exploration team still needs to be said!
However, Lin Li did not feel the slightest surprise at the release of Osric's soul, which could be said to be expected. The reason is simple, it is because Osric's soul has not achieved perfect integration with the new perfect body. When Osric's soul and perfect body are not perfectly fused, it is like an alchemy colossus manipulated by an alchemist, and if there is a problem with the alchemy colossus, the alchemist can escape in time. And if the two have been perfectly combined, then it will definitely be quite difficult to separate.
Of course, Osric's failure to achieve perfect fusion is also a big reason why the traps of Lin Li can work. If Osric achieves perfect fusion, I'm afraid Lin Li won't be able to use that magic crystal to calculate him, with Osric's realm and strength, I'm afraid he will really get rid of the influence of that weird magic crystal in an instant.
Therefore, nothing in the world is perfect, and if you gain something on one side, you will inevitably lose something on the other. Therefore, for the current situation, Lin Li should say that he has already prepared to face it, at least Osric, who has lost his body, will definitely be affected a lot in terms of strength.
"Damn, you all deserve to die!" Osric had never been so angry, not even when he parted ways with the Immortal King, not even when he knew that the High Elves were gone.
It is a great shame that the dignified lord Osric, a mythical figure like the Immortal King, was calculated by a junior to lose his new body. Especially as it turns out, all his previous calculations have been seen through by the other party, and the other party has calculated himself in turn, which is even more unacceptable to him no matter what.
