Chapter 1285: Let Me Leave

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the Heart of Demon flew closer, Connoris began to chant a long and obscure incantation in the language of the ancient demon deities. Each rune that he chanted would instantly condense into solid characters and symbols that glistened with golden light. The appearance of each character would also cause a tremor in space.

The words that Connoris chanted were aligned neatly in midair, forming an ancient scroll that contained ancient meanings dating back to a long time ago. They also emanated a daunting aura that would shake the people’s hearts. Under Connoris’ manipulation, the ancient scroll moved towards the Heart of Demon.

As each character in the scroll was imprinted on the large Heart of Demon, the Heart of Demon seemed to have begun shrinking in size. The magic flames that were initially wrapped around the Heart of Demon seemed to have solidified too. It could be seen with the naked eye that countless cracks were continuously appearing in space baked by the magic flames.

Immediately afterwards, a vast and majestic mana wave emerged from Connoris’ body. His body was engulfed in light, resembling a god that had descended from heaven, and was repeatedly enlarging. In the blink of an eye, Connoris’ body was already more than 10 meters tall; from the looks of his form, he seemed to have become a half-ethereal existence..

However, at this moment, Lin Li received another message from Connoris, who was asking for help. After all, Connoris’ control of this perfect body had yet to reach the level of flawlessness. Hence, problems surfaced when he was fusing the Heart of Demon with his body.

Lin Li immediately waved his hand, and an arcane mageweath instantly emerged from the void. It then seemed to form a bridge between Connoris and the Heart of Demon.

With the activation of the mageweath, Connoris’s body began to grow again. In no time, he reached a height of over 100 meters, and was almost as large as the body of the great demon deity, Mosari. At the same time, the Heart of Demon, which was at the other end of the mageweath, was also pulled downwards by a certain force. It was then attached to Connoris’ chest, and it began squeezing its way into it.

When the Heart of Demon sank completely into Connoris’ chest, he suddenly raised his head and roared into the sky. His roar seemed to be tangible as it instantly pierced through countless layers of the void before forming a black hole that was more than 10,000 meters in diameter in the sky. In fact, it was as if there was a turbulence that flashed past in front of the black hole.

The crowd in the square was stunned by the roar that Connoris had let out. Those who were weaker were even shaken to the point that blood seeped out of their ears. Even the Sanctuary powerhouses had a clear feeling that their souls would be torn apart. One by one, they couldn’t help but release their Domain Worlds.

However, after Connoris roared, there were no longer any movements, because the Heart of Demon had already fused completely into his chest. Immediately afterwards, numerous cracks began to appear on his skin like in a dried up riverbed. Black magic flames even began to spread from his skin.

The black magic flames had initially started licking the skin in the surroundings like tongues when it first appeared from the rift. However, the flames soon became even more ferocious, and they eventually merged to form a single flame, shrouding Connoris’ entire body in fire as if he was a human torch.

The rolling magic flames began to spread out in all directions from Connoris’ body. Even though the people around him were far away from it, they could still feel a piercing pain surge within their bodies. However, their souls felt like they were getting baked under the hot sun. That made them feel immensely miserable and agonized under the alternating extreme temperatures. Only after they had retreated to the outermost part of the square did they feel much better.

The solid and sturdy lazurite beneath Connoris’ feet began to emit cracking sounds continuously before crumbling into pieces, and then further into ashes. In the blink of an eye, most of the square seemed to have turned into a desert, with Connoris in the middle. Each and every particle was wrapped in magic flames, making it seem like a sea of black magic flames.

At this moment, Lin Li was continuously communicating with Connoris through soul contact. Connoris would inform Lin Li about his difficulties, while Lin Li waved his hand and drew a mageweath to help Connoris overcome one difficulty after another. Thanks to the help of Lin Li’s mageweaths, Connoris managed to fuse the Heart of Demon with his body confidently and bravely. Otherwise, he would have probably been burned to ashes long ago.

Lin Li continued to draw a mageweath that flew into the magic flames that engulfed Connoris, allowing his condition to stabilize soon. At this moment, the magical flames that emerged from Connoris’ body already converged within a certain range, and it looked just like a giant egg on black fire from afar. Apart from the black flames that were continuously licking around, countless dazzling gold magic runes began rotating around.

Just like that, a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the Gilded Kingdom had already begun to deal with the aftermath of the matter. The most important thing to do now was to repair the Giant Divine Soldiers that Mosari had destroyed. Due to Connoris’ presence, no one could walk into the inner area of the square, and thus it couldn’t be cleaned up or repaired.

Lin Li stood at the side, and would draw a mageweath from time to time to help Connoris resolve issues. However, towards the end, Lin Li’s frequency of striking began to reduce incessantly, while the magic flames that Connoris was shrouded in had already become a beating heart as it started pounding forcefully.

The beating sound seemed like a dull roar of thunder that emitted various waves together with the surrounding air. As time passed, the sound of the heartbeat was becoming clearer as well as more and more powerful. However, the power that it emitted was no longer as unsettling as in the beginning.

Finally, the magic flames that were wrapped around Connoris began to fade to transparency, gradually revealing Connoris’ body. It was just a vague and blurry figure in the beginning, but as the magic flames became smaller and smaller, the figure got increasingly clearer too.

However, at this moment, Connoris’ appearance had changed drastically with the fusion of the Heart of Demon. His size was restored to a stature of nearly two meters, but there was a pair of large fleshy wings burning with black flames on his back as well as a pair of scimitar-like demonic horns on the top of his head.

His perfect body had initially been as handsome as the High Elves, but now that he had these demonic features and black demonic runes all over his body, Connoris immediately began to exude a demonic aura.

A moment later, all the magic flames were fused into Connoris’ body, but the demonic wings and horns on his head were still present. The demonic runes on Connoris’ body were also vague and faint, but they didn’t completely vanish.

At the same time, a huge wave of mana emanated from Connoris’ body, and it started surging in all directions like a flood. Bradlor and the others, who were dealing with the aftermath around the square, all had a drastic change in expression after sensing the terrifying mana wave.

If they hadn’t seen Connoris standing in the center of the square, Bradlor and others might have thought that Mosari had risen again. However, after seeing that the one who emitted the terrifying mana waves was Connoris, Lin Li’s subordinate, they felt rather uneasy too.

The Tower of Dusk now had yet another terrifying Sanctuary powerhouse. In addition to the Sanctuary-level Vampire, Norfeller, the small and nameless force, the Tower of Dusk, now had three Sanctuary powerhouses. With such elite manpower, no one would dare to call them a small and insignificant force. In the future, the Tower of Dusk would definitely become a top force that was not to be belittled.

At this moment, the mana waves that were emitted from Connoris’ body had not only broken through the limits of the Legendary-realm, but also reached the peak of level-28. That was because Connoris had yet to fuse with the Heart of Demon completely. Otherwise, the power of the Heart of Demon alone would completely be enough to push his power to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm.

However, such an external force would not be sufficient to push him to the Divine-realm. Only when Connoris lit up the Divine Fire with his own power would he be able to truly become a great demon deity like Mosari. Of course, once he reached the Divine-realm, he could once again get a huge boost from the Heart of Demon.

All the flames had now been contained in his body, and he wasn’t exuding a single wisp of demonic aura, either. Connoris looked at his hands with satisfaction, as if he could see how terrifying the power emitted by his hands could be.

After feeling his power for a few moments, Connoris turned to Lin Li with a smug expression, and said, “Haha, Felic, I’ve known for a long time that I’d definitely gain endless benefits from following you, but getting Mosari’s origin is still beyond my expectations. Mosari no longer belongs to this world now, and not only have I obtained his power, but I will also replace him and become the new master of the Endless Abyss.”

However, Lin Li was now far less eager to gain a stronger subordinate, especially after having gone through the bottom of the Cursed Island where he experienced the numerous tests that Geresco had left behind. They made him realize that when faced with Divine-level opponents, it would be difficult for peak Sanctuary-realm powerhouses to provide help for him.

What Lin Li was really interested in was the matter of Connoris becoming the master of the Endless Abyss. Although the High Elves had plundered the Endless Abyss, it was still a treasure vault full of infinite resources, especially the last floor of the Abyss that Highlord Osric hadn’t penetrated. God knew how many rare resources had been left behind there.

The current Sky Castle was still going through an orderly transformation according to Lin Li’s design, but the biggest problem at the moment was still the severe shortage of construction resources and materials. Even the treasure vaults of the several kingdoms combined might not be enough to meet the requirements for the overhaul of the Sky Castle.

Hence, compared to Connoris’ strength that had broken through to level-28, which was at the Sanctuary-realm, Lin Li attached greater importance to the fact that Connoris had now become the next master of the Endless Abyss.

However, at this time, Lin Li did not immediately bring up the matter of emptying the Endless Abyss, but instead focused his attention on the abyss that appeared after the volcano vanished.

This abyss was supposed to be the place where the great demon deity Mosari was sealed, and there shouldn’t be anything more after Mosari had been gotten rid of. However, when helping Connoris fuse the Heart of Demon, Lin Li vaguely felt that the sudden wind in the abyss seemed to be carrying a familiar roar.

Although Lin Li wasn’t sure if the roaring he heard was real or not, the curiosity that surged in his heart made him feel a strong urge to enter the deep cavern and find out.

After ending the fusion of the Heart of Demon, Lin Li also made up his mind, and decided to enter the cave to take a look. Even if there wasn’t anything in there, they could at least tell that the sealing mageweath that sealed the great demon deity Mosari should also be of great help to his attainments in inscription.

After making up his mind, Lin Li instructed Connoris to guard outside the bottomless cavern while he leaped into it.

From the moment he leaped into the abyss, Lin Li could already sense that the roaring was getting clearer and clearer in the wind. He also discovered that he could decipher the meaning of the roar as it seemed to be incessant cursing with boundless resentment. The target was none other than the Immortal King.

Lin Li’s curiosity was piqued, and he immediately sped up in his descent while also expanding his Domain World to guard against sudden dangers.

As Lin Li delved deeper, the roaring and hissing coming from the depths of that cave had become clearer and clearer. At the same time, the meaning of the roar had also become clearer to him.

“Damned Immortal King, let me out. I want to leave this world and curse you. I’ll curse you to give birth to a son with no buttocks, sores on his head, and puss-filled boils on his feet! I’ll curse your mom... and your sister...”

After deciphering the meaning of the curse, Lin Li almost lost his balance and fell. Regardless of how he looked at it, the curse didn’t seem to be from Anril. It seemed that only in the world he had come from would there be people cursing others in such a manner. In particular, it was similar to the way the players of the game, Endless World, would curse at others.

That made Lin Li even more curious as he wondered if he wasn’t the only one who had transmigrated to this world.

After falling in the dark cavern for a long time, Lin Li’s feet finally touched the ground. Immediately afterwards, he saw an altar-like structure not far ahead. The altar was shrouded in light, and there was a black shadow in the middle that was hitting the light curtain around him while cursing incessantly.

Perhaps because he had detected Lin Li’s arrival, the figure in the light curtain finally stopped, and roared at Lin Li, “Human, let me leave this place, and I can grant you three wishes. I don’t need incredible strength or power, but I want an infinite amount of wealth!”

Lin Li fell silent again after hearing his words, which reminded him of the fairy tales of the world he transmigrated from, such as releasing a deity from a drifting bottle or gathering seven dragon balls to summon a Divine Dragon.
