Chapter 1286: From The Endless World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Li did not approach the altar recklessly, and instead began observing from afar, only to discover that the altar was surrounded by a complicated Divine-Smith-level mageweath which had two cores, one of which was an altar, and the other was an empty space. Hence, the power of the mageweath was waning.

Seeing this, Lin Li thought of the great demon deity Mosari again. Clearly, Mosari had been sealed here all along, and it seemed to have been in the other core of the mageweath. That made him think of another question, and that was why the Immortal King sealed Mosari on Four Seasons Island instead of the Cursed Island.

Could it be that the main figure that the Immortal King wanted to seal was not Mosari, but the figure on this altar that keeps cursing? Was Mosari sealed here for the purpose of providing power for the mageweath used to seal and suppress that existence on the altar?

Hence, regardless of what was on the altar, the first thing Lin Li did was not to go up there and figure out what it was, but rather he thought of a way to master the mageweath on it. As long as he could master the mageweath, he would be able to be in control of the situation when facing the thing on the altar.

Although Lin Li had yet to become a true Divine Smith of Inscription, he had the support of the foundation of the previous research that he had done on a Divine-Smith-level mageweath. Hence, it wasn’t too big of a problem. It was just like how a person who did not know how to build a car was not necessarily unable to drive a car. Mastering the Divine-Smith-level mageweath was far simpler than learning how to draw it..

It took only less than an hour for Lin Li to fully understand the operation of this Divine-Smith-level mageweath.

While Lin Li was studying the Divine-Smith-level mageweath, the shadow on the altar was constantly shouting at him. In short, it kept promising him plenty of tempting conditions, but after seeing that he still couldn’t make Lin Li waver despite the temptation, the shadow started threatening him menacingly.

“Damned ant, didn’t you hear what I said!?! If you help me get out of here now, I’ll still thank you for it, but if you continue ignoring my presence again, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson when I get out!” Although the shadow that was shrouded in light had a blurry appearance, the tone of its voice was clearly full of anger.

Finally, Lin Li stopped studying the mageweaths around him, and shifted his attention onto the altar that was enveloped in light instead. He quickly made some gestures with his hands, and some of the mageweaths around the altar, which had been somewhat stagnant, immediately began to operate again. As the mageweaths began running, the light on the altar also became thinner and eventually dissipated, revealing the figure that was wailing incessantly on the altar.

When the altar was completely clear, Lin Li realized that the shadow who kept cursing incessantly was actually a dragon-like creature that was about the size of a dog.

Based on its appearance, it seemed to be a wyrm, but its size was obviously countless times smaller than the average wyrm’s. Among the various species of wyrms, perhaps only Elemental Dragons would produce such a pocket-sized descendant. However, Elemental Dragons were much smaller than this creature, and even an adult Elemental Dragon was no larger than a dog.

Moreover, Lin Li had the Elemental Dragon, Xiao Hua, as his subordinate, so he was very clear about the appearance of Elemental Dragons. Thus, he was certain that this black creature in front of him definitely had nothing to do with Elemental Dragons.

In Lin Li’s eyes, this thing on the altar was actually more like a scaled-down version of a black dragon as its body was covered in obsidian-like scales, and it had a pair of bloodshot eyes, two horns on top of its head, and a pair of fleshy wings on its back. Lin Li was reminded of the Dragon of Destruction, Azardas, that he had killed using his Hunter avatar in the Endless World game, but of course it only resembled Azardas if size wasn’t an issue.

Is this a descendant of the Dragon of Destruction?

If it’s a young dragon, it would seem plausible for it to be of this size. Could this be a young black dragon? Lin Li made a wild guess, but as soon as that conjecture surfaced in his mind, he vetoed it immediately.

Lin Li had seen young dragons before. Although wyrms were powerful creatures, their young also shared similar characteristics with the young of other animals, with the most obvious being a large head, small body, and short limbs. It was a type of law of evolution for species which applied even to dragons and wyrms.

However, this black dragon on the altar did not have any childlike features, even though its body was only the size of a dog. Its limbs were very proportional, and it just seemed to be a scaled-down version of an adult wyrm.

Looking at the black dragon who kept roaring and cursing while also issuing threats at the same time, Lin Li, who had already figured out the sealing mageweath on this altar, decisively stepped onto it.

Seeing that Lin Li had barged into the altar, the black dragon immediately pounced on him while seething, showing its fangs and waving its claws. At the same time, it roared, “Damned ant, since you refuse to help me leave this hellhole, you will stay with me here!”

After roaring, the black dragon spewed at Lin Li a mouthful of black dragon breath, which contained an aura that could cause everything to wither. It surged towards Lin Li immediately.

However, a dragon breath as such posed no threat to Lin Li, who had already gained control of the seal. Without even picking up his magic staff, he simply fanned away the smoke in front of him with his hand, pushing it to the side.

Lin Li then moved, and appeared in front of the black dragon almost instantly. He then reached a hand out to pinch the skin on the nape of the black dragon to pick it up like it were a cat.

“Damn it, let go of me. The great Dragon of Destruction Azardas is not your pet. If you don’t let go now, you’re dead meat because you’ll face my boundless wrath!” The black dragon growled and cursed while flailing its limbs about, fluttering its fleshy wings, and whipping its tail in an attempt to struggle and break free.

Lin Li was shocked to hear the black dragon’s roar, and he thought, This guy actually called himself Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction. How is this possible!?

The Dragon of Destruction’s corpse was still lying in Lin Li’s Ring of Endless Storm, and he had brought it over from the Endless World game. Besides, another corpse of the Dragon of Destruction was sealed under Cage Island in the Breezy Plains, having been killed by the Immortal King in this world. In that case, how could this annoying black dragon be the Dragon of Destruction?

At this moment, Lin Li felt his hand turning empty as the black dragon, which he was holding by the nape just a few moments ago, seemed to have turned into air. Immediately afterwards, the black dragon flapped its fleshy wings, and flew towards the other side of the altar.

“How dare a small fry like you disrespect the great Dragon of Destruction Azardas? Well then, prepare to face my boundless wrath!” The black dragon roared menacingly, seemingly ready to fight Lin Li to the death. However, after it got into a fight stance, it surprisingly turned its body violently and leaped out of the altar. It turned out that it had planned to just escape like that.

However, since Lin Li had already mastered the sealing mageweath on the altar, how could the black dragon escape so easily? When the black dragon had already reached the edge of the altar, and was only a mere inch away from escaping, it seemed to hit a layer of glass with a loud thud, and it slowly slid downwards along something, and fell onto the ground.

At this moment, Lin Li did not immediately go over to catch the black dragon, but instead raised his hand to look at his moving fingers. The change just now was somewhat beyond his expectations as he was confident that he was definitely capable of holding something firmly with his hand. Clearly, the problem lay with the black dragon.

With that thought in mind, Lin Li immediately spread his mental strength outwards to the black dragon that had just slipped to the ground. However, the result of his mental strength detection took him aback because the black dragon wasn’t in a tangible form, but rather it was in a soul-like state. However, the soul-like form that the black dragon was in was already solid and sturdy enough to almost seem tangible.

That answered Lin Li’s question as to how the black dragon had miraculously escaped from his hand just now. Clearly, the black dragon had temporarily returned its nape to a state of nothingness when it realized that it couldn’t break free, thus leaving Lin Li with nothing to grasp.

With this discovery, Lin Li also became more and more interested in this peculiar black dragon. He knew that the Immortal King had to have sealed it there for some reason, and he reckoned that the black dragon was probably of an incredible origin. Lin Li was now still a little uncertain if it was Azardas the Dragon of Destruction, as it was possible for him to be a legacy of the Dragon of Destruction, just like Tutankhamun.

At this point, the black dragon had already flown up from the ground, and was obviously aware that it couldn’t break out of the altar. Thus, it turned to face Lin Li again, and bared its teeth in a bid to make itself look ferocious and menacing. It roared, “Human, let me out of here immediately, or else don’t blame me for being unceremonious. Even though you possess the strength of the Sanctuary-realm, you are still a nobody to Azardas the Dragon of Destruction. You can never afford to incur my wrath!”

However, Lin Li glanced at it nonchalantly with a contemptuous gaze, and said in response, “Azardas the Dragon of Destruction? As far as I know, the Dragon of Destruction was killed by the Immortal King thousands of years ago, and even its corpse has been sealed and suppressed under a deserted island.”

To Lin Li’s surprise, the black dragon flew into a rage at the mention of the Immortal King, and he roared at the top of its lungs, “The Immortal King?! Again, it’s the Immortal King! That damned scoundrel brought me to this world with the sole purpose of satisfying his curiosity. In the end, he sealed me in this place where I can’t see the light of day nor the darkness of night. He even left a stinking, pungent demon here. One day, I will exact my revenge on him! But now, you must set me free immediately!”

“Haha, what a peculiar existence. In this case, I will see what you’re made of.” Lin Li didn’t take his roar seriously at all, and just vanished into thin air abruptly. By the time he reappeared, he had once again picked the black dragon up in his hand. However, he was well-prepared this time, and had utilized his mental strength when catching the black dragon lest it used the same method of turning its body into nothingness in order to escape.

However, after sensing Lin Li’s mental strength, the black dragon suddenly stopped struggling, and began chuckling while saying, “Haha, so it’s you, I didn’t expect you to come here too. So, how is it? Are you enjoying yourself here in this disgusting world? Have you ever tried having someone conduct experiments on you, and then seal you in a hellhole like this for thousands of years?!”

Lin Li was initially still squinting and grinning while waiting for the black dragon to spout some more nonsense, but after hearing the black dragon’s words, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

What does it mean?! Lin Li’s eyes were wide open, and he even almost loosened his grip on the black dragon. He yelled, “What did you say? What do you mean I’m here too? What do you mean how is it going in this world?!”

The black dragon immediately became smug when it saw Lin Li’s reaction, and it gazed at him gloatingly like he was looking at a pitiful person. “Why? Are you frightened just like that? In your slang, we could be considered to be from the same hometown. You should be tearing up when you see me!”

Hearing the black dragon’s words, Lin Li immediately thought about how he had found the black dragon’s curses, promises, and threats to be rather familiar just now—such as cursing him to have a child with birth defects and the granting of three wishes. Lin Li wondered, Could it be that this black dragon is also a transmigrator in Anril, just like me?

Seeing that Lin Li was somewhat stunned, the black dragon sneered, and said with more derision, “Oh right, I’ve been sealed for too long, and I almost forgot that it was you who killed me the first time I died. But you probably didn’t expect someone to hack into your game account and bring you to such a hellish place where there is no return. You humans seem to hold your kin and loved ones close to your heart, but have you ever thought about your parents or your lover? Oh, I forgot, how can someone like you who’s completely addicted to and immersed in the world of the game have a lover? Haha!”

As the black dragon spoke, it burst into laughter, and seemed to be venting its frustration and anger. It even rocked backwards, and was laughing so hard that it could barely catch its breath. However, Lin Li, who was beside him, was stunned by his words. In fact, he even felt an inexplicable pang of panic that arose from the bottom of his heart.

“Who exactly are you? Why do you know about these things?!” Lin Li’s face was a bit pale, and he no longer had the composure of a Sanctuary powerhouse. His transmigration was definitely his biggest secret, and now that the black dragon had revealed it, he was so astounded that he immediately forgot about his identity as a Sanctuary powerhouse.

The black dragon finally stopped guffawing, and raised its head to look at Lin Li before saying, “Why? Haven’t I made myself clear enough? I’m Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction and one of the Dragon Aspects of the Endless World.”

One of the Dragon Aspects of the Endless World!? After linking those words to what the black dragon had said previously, Lin Li seemed to have finally figured it out. The black dragon was indeed Azardas, the Dragon of Destruction, except it wasn’t the Dragon of Destruction from Anril, but from the Endless World game.
