Chapter 149: Make Love

Mason’s words got stuck at his throat, and his smile became very awkward due to the suppression from the death aura. After scratching his head, he whispered to Lin Li, “Damn, why is it so capricious?! Was it a woman in its previous life? Fine, when I go back, I’m going to tell everyone that Bhaskar was actually a woman…”

“…”

“Fool,” Orrin said behind him, “do you think you are a bard?”

“No matter what, thank you for telling me all these.” There was a sinister quality to Bhaskar’s voice. Underlying it was cruelty. “As a reward, you are going to be the last to be killed by me. You can witness how your companions die one by one, and rejoice in their helpless cries… And after you die, I’m going to preserve your soul in the Shadowglen. Then, you will accompany me here, and tell me stories of the outside world for a few hundred years…”

“You’re welcome…” replied Mason. The smile on his face was uglier than a crying face.

“Who asked you to suck up to it?” Orrin chided Mason and glared at him angrily.

“Bhaskar, don’t think that you have won!” Sarsen exclaimed as he walked out of the cave with strong magical waves from his body.

“I’d never expect that human beings could still be so arrogant even after 1200 years—” Before Bhaskar could finish his words, a huge mental strength surged towards it.

Concurrently, Sarsen established a Mental Protection Field too. As his abilities were far better than Kayla’s, he managed to hold off Bhaskar’s mental attack.

“BAM!”

What followed was an instantaneous Fireball.

“WHAT A JOKE!” The Lich laughed in amusement. Although the Fireball was one that had a shocking impact, the Lich was not moved by it at all. It raised up a colorful Elemental Shield, and at the same time, it used its staff to create a wall of white bones over the shield.

That was the Skeletal Shield that was specific to undead creatures. It was a formidable fortress against all magical and physical attacks.

“You are the joke, Bhaskar!” Sarsen declared determinedly despite being faced with two layers of defensive shield. After a rapid recitation, another gust of sparks flew up into the air. This time, it was the Flaming Spear… and Sarsen was resolved to bomb Bhaskar.

Lin Li stood at the entrance of the cave and observed quietly. He had to admit that Sarsen really had the means to be arrogant. He was outstanding in both his tactics and control of mana. Since he could reach a draw with the Lich of at least level-15, the skills of this level-13 Magic Shooter had to be exceptional.

In terms of strength, Bhaskar definitely had the advantage. Its double protection—Skeletal Shield and Elemental Shield—was so impressive that it was hard for Sarsen to threaten it with his magical spells. The mental impact the Lich created never weakened, and was always disrupting Sarsen from casting his spells.

To ensure he could complete his recitation, Sarsen had no choice but to continue to hold up his Mental Protection Field there.

Multitasking was a deadly thing to mages.

Even if it was a battle between two parties on the same level, if one were to direct some focus to support the Mental Protection Field, he would fall to the losing end. What was more for this unfair battle?

Frankly speaking, Sarsen did not look promising to Lin Li at the beginning. That was because they were so different in their levels. Furthermore, there was still the life-threatening mental attack. Even if he were to calculate it optimistically, Sarsen would crash within 30 seconds. Yet, what happened afterwards was an eye-opener for Lin Li.

With his adept skill set and accuracy in mana control, Sarsen pushed the battle into a deadlock.

“This fella is not bad…” commented Lin Li as he nodded, not rushing to launch his attack. He only opened the Ring of Endless Storm and transferred some mana into the torrent of elements.

“Mage Felic…” Kayla called out to him after downing a bottle of Recovery Potion. Although his face was still pale, his injuries were better, and he did not have any difficulties walking already. Seeing how Sarsen and the Lich was in a deadlock, Kayla could not sit still any longer. He went over to Lin Li with a concerned expression, and whispered to him, “Now is a good opportunity…”

“Oh,” Lin Li responded without any concern, but his gaze was fixed at the battle not far away.

After waiting for Lin Li’s speech to continue for quite a while to no avail, Kayla could not help but feel anxious. “Mage Felic, you have the greatest abilities among all of us. If you don’t do anything now, I’m scared Sarsen would be…”

This time, Lin Li did not even care to turn his head to look at Kayla. He just replied, “Let’s wait and see.”

“…”

Kayla really felt like crashing himself against the crag. He could not understand why this seemingly great and powerful mage was so foolish… Sarsen had already fought to a deadlock, so even a moron would understand that it would only take one more straw to defeat “the camel” Bhaskar!

This is such a rare opportunity…

The deadlock is so fragile. Who knows if Sarsen won’t be defeated in the next second? What is that damn Jarrosus mage thinking about? Is he waiting for Sarsen’s defeat so that he can play hero?

“What a freakish fighting spirit…” Kayla berated Lin Li quietly. He would definitely not dare to provoke such a man. What if he triggered Lin Li, and he lit him up with a Flaming Hand?

Lin Li shot a glance at him, and explained nothing.

He knew what Kayla was thinking about, but he did not plan to explain himself.

For him, what would be more important compared to his own life? How would he care about honor or heroism? If he could, he would be more than willing to bring a bunch of followers and fight.

The thing was that it was not the time.

There were some things that he understood better compared to Kayla.

Sarsen was definitely not weak. To come into a deadlock with a level-15 Lich with his level-13 Magic Shooter abilities definitely made this battle a superficial one. Looking at how the magical waves were, Lin Li could be sure that Bhaskar was not exerting his entire strength.

From the start till now, Lin Li clearly realized that the Lich did not use any spell that was beyond level-10!

And that was impossible in a normal battle…

It was a creature of at least level-15 and 1200-years-old, much older than Old Andoine. Throughout those years, the number of times it used its spells could only be counted with astronomical figures. For such a monster, there would not be any difficulty in summoning spells.

For a creature like the Lich that had lived for a long time, it had an edge in casting a spell of its own level without worrying about the bite of mana.

There could only be one reason for it to only use spells lower than the 10th level—it was messing with Sarsen!

Undoubtedly, the act of playing pranks was a very personal matter.

Lin Li knew that he would be very furious if he were the trickster and someone tried to disturb him. Hence, if he were to interfere in their battle, what was important was not whether he could defeat Bhaskar, but rather that he would agitate the old monster to unleash its true powers…

This situation was akin to making love.

It would be incredibly dangerous for one to disturb people who were making love. Lin Li would not want to do such an immoral act…

Furthermore…

There was no need to make this gamble and disrupt his entire plan.

… Unfortunately, Kayla did not know what was on Lin Li’s mind. Seeing how Lin Li dilly-dallied, Kayla lost his patience, and braved forward despite his injuries. After discussing the matter with his two teammates, they began a long recitation.

“Aish…” Lin Li sighed, and shook his head, but did not stop them. Since they were not closely related, Lim Li did not pity them at all. Even if they disturbed Sir Lich’s love-making session, they were purely asking for it. After all, there were consequences to suffer for peeping…

When Sarsen was in a deadlock with the Lich, the recitation of the three peeping Toms also came to an end…

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

“BOOM!”

The three men finished their recitation concurrently, and their three staffs lit up together.
