Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 451: Death Pit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What followed was a shrill cry that pierced through the sky. Before Stephen and Hutton could react, there was a loud “POM!”, and they saw an Aztek that was caught in the Fire Rain. It fell from the sky and created a huge dent in the ground. The men could only see blazing fire and sparkles that filled the air.

Hutton was the first to be shocked. He shot a cautious glance at the gigantic pit, and saw all scales and hideous face. There were also two horns on the head, a pair of wings on the ribs, and a pungent smell of sulfur. What could it be other than an Aztek that was close to level-20?

However, this Aztek was lying there lifelessly. Its chest had been pierced through by a Frost Dragon Gun. Fresh red blood oozed out of its wound profusely...

“Oh God...” Hutton exclaimed; his jaw dropped. ‘Profound’ was the only word he could use to describe the abilities of President Felic. How could he kill a level-18 with just a single strike? It seemed that Senior Adelo was not exaggerating, after all.

“Hutton, how much longer can your magical equipment work?” Lin Li asked without even looking at the Aztek in the pit.

An Aztek that cast the Fire Rain would have three to five seconds of mana depletion. In that three to five seconds, its magic abilities and defense mechanism would be at their weakest. If his Frost Dragon Gun was unable to kill the Aztek with one strike, he should just pack his luggage and return to Jarrosus for retirement immediately.

“Five more minutes.” Hutton’s heart skipped a beat when he heard President Felic’s question. The fact that he was asking about the ‘magical equipment’ and not the ‘spell’ meant that he had seen through him. The blue projection he had used did not require mana. It was magical equipment that had been passed down for generations in the Malfa Family.

What a sharp eye President Felic has...

“Very good.” Lin Li nodded his head, and did not say more. He secretly transmitted a bit of mana into the source of mana of the mageweath array.

The introduction of this wave of mana lit up the level-10 magical crystal. Then, the entire Maze Mageweath Array transformed into a gigantic whirlpool as it tried to absorb the mana within the level-10 magical crystal...

Under normal circumstances, such a Maze Mageweath Array would require an astronomical amount of mana and a magical crystal of at least level-18 to function. The mana within a level-10 magical crystal would be depleted within five minutes.

However, that was sufficient for Lin Li. From the start, he’d never thought of giving the optimal conditions for the mageweath array to function. That was the second pit Lin Li had dug.

The first pit helped to punish Stephen, while the second one would function to kill the group of Azteks. Five minutes should be enough...

After one Aztek was struck by the Frost Dragon Gun, close to 10 Azteks were spreading their red wings and rushing towards the forest.

They found the three humans as soon as they landed. To the evil beings that lived in the Abyss, any living beings that did not belong to the Abyss were considered their enemies. They only knew that killing the intruders of the Abyss would make their powers stronger.

That was a battle between the hunter and prey. However, they would only know who was the hunter and prey after the battle. There was neither verbal communication nor psychological tests needed. It was the most primitive and brutal battle from the beginning. It started off with the growl of the biggest Aztek, which signaled the 10 other Azteks to spread their wings. They swooped towards the three young mages like a boiling wave.

“We only have five minutes,” said Lin Li as he prepared his Frost Dragon Gun. What followed was the fall of one of the Aztek in front.

However, the Frost Dragon Gun did not kill the Aztek in a single blow this time. After all, it was an Aztek above level-18 that was not undergoing the depletion of mana. This allowed it to use its Flame Shield against the Frost Dragon Gun. Although the Frost Dragon Gun was powerful, it would be close to impossible for the Frost Dragon Gun to pierce through the Flame Shield right away.

A thunderous “POM!” erupted as the Frost Dragon Gun collided with the Flame Shield. There was a bunch of dazzling sparks, while the Aztek in the front line had to slow down. Lin Li made use of the opportunity to mutter all his recitations. Immediately, there were three walls of ice standing on the ground that was filled with blazing flames.

These three walls of ice were harder to deal with as compared to the Frost Dragon Gun...

Compared to the Frost Dragon Gun that could be countered by the Flame Shield, these walls of ice obstructed their way. They had to use Pyroblast on the walls before moving forward.

Time was required for them to cast the Pyroblast.

The three young mages would never win against the Azteks with their physical strength. Not to mention Hutton and Stephen, even a Smithing Master like Lin Li, who had the strength close to a level-15 Warrior, would never be able to wrestle with an Aztek. However, it would be another story if he were to use magic...

It was a fact that the three young mages standing here were the top mages in the entire Felan Kingdom. If they had sufficient space and time, the lethality of their spells could definitely be described as ‘shocking’.

Thanks to Lin Li’s three ice walls, Hutton and Stephen won precious time to cast the spells. Immediately, there were sounds of abstruse and mysterious recitation. The raging magical elements were like tidewater that accumulated at their sides.

The Thousand Miles of Ice and Winter Horn were unleashed very quickly. At that instant, the surroundings were like a snowy scene. The ground froze within a diameter of 100 meters. The blazing fires were extinguished immediately, and there were huge snowflakes falling from the sky. While the icy ground was firmed up, it trapped the few Azteks that were closest to the ice walls...

The Thousand Miles of Ice was the most powerful spell among the others below level-20. Its effects were amplified with the support from the Winter Horn. It was beyond imagination. Although the Azteks had Flame Shields on their bodies, they were unable to respond to it quickly.

After the Thousand Miles of Ice succeeded, Hutton and Stephen grew more unreasonable. They continuously cast Frost Spears onto the Azteks that were trapped by the ice.

If it was before, such a level-12 spell would never be able to harm Azteks that were above level-18.To them, the Flame Shield would only turn the Frost Spears into itches on their body. Unfortunately, the goal of these Frost Spears was not to kill these Azteks, but to trap the Azteks in the firm ice...

Although they were only level-12 spells, Hutton and Stephen were casting them instantaneously. They aimed dozens of Frost Spears on the Azteks in every single strike. No matter how firmed up the ice was, there would always be the moment it would crack.

“Crunch...”

That was a gentle sound in that intensive battle. However, what followed was terrifying results. As the first crack appeared in the ice that trapped an Aztek, more appeared. These cracks deepened like drain tunnels...

“POM!”

The moment the firm ice shattered, the frozen Aztek burst into pieces. Red pieces of flesh stuck within the ice looked rather striking in the midst of a snowy area...

However, after one of their kind died, the other Azteks used Pyroblast to shatter the ice walls. Hutton and Stephen had to stop the recitation of the Thousand Miles of Ice and utilize different types of magic spells to control the scene. Among the many spells, there were the Earthbind Spell, Blood-vine Spell, and the Thorny Entanglement...

The battle became fierce and entered a stalemate. There was constant spell casting to control the situation. Hutton and Stephen were so engrossed that they did not realize that the youngest mage had not been doing anything after he established the three ice walls. Instead, he cast the Levitation Spell and hovered 10 meters up the sky. He looked as though he was waiting for something...

Lin Li was indeed waiting.

He was waiting for Hutton and Stephen to provoke these Azteks further so that they would transform into Live Bombs.

The effect of the Maze Mageweath Array would be maximized the moment they turned into Live Bombs. It did not require all of the Azteks to transform, though. As long as one or two did so, it would be sufficient for Lin Li to kill them in the gigantic pit.

In reality, Lin Li did not wait too long. The opportunity came three minutes after the death of the first Aztek.

The inability to break away from the magic control of the humans finally agitated the biggest Aztek. Its loud growl made the other Azteks seem as though they were high on drugs. They started to cast the fire spells that were innate to them.

Flaming Storm, Hell Fire, Fire Rain, Pyroblast... At that instant, the entire forest turned into a flaming world...
