Chapter 289: Impure World Reincarnation!

Chapter 289 Impure World Reincarnation!

The mountain beast Morpheus glanced at Levi, then turned its gaze to the tallest Element Tower.

Levi was too insignificant.

Reacting instantly, Levi retreated quickly.

Stepping back a few paces, he realized it seemed futile.

The mountain beast's form was too colossal; wherever he fled, he remained within its strike range.

Unless he left the Floating City.

The instant the mountain beast appeared, all magic cannons and mage towers within the Floating City fell silent.

The central Element Tower ignited with light.

Everyone could sense an overwhelmingly powerful magical fluctuation spreading across the entire Floating City.

Merely sensing this fluctuation caused everyone to tremble involuntarily.

Like facing a raging tsunami, fearing one slip would drown them, tear them apart.

All magical energy concentrated within the Element Tower, activating its ultimate weapon.

Morpheus faced off against the Element Tower for a moment, then turned and withdrew.

Wherever it passed, all undead were drawn into the hollow of its mountain body.

The Floating City is a mobile war fortress.

Then, Morpheus is the aircraft carrier of the Legendary Lich.

Within it lies storage for vast hordes of undead.

Morpheus could also traverse the earth rapidly, carrying countless undead to any battlefield swiftly, dealing fatal blows to foes.

Seeing Morpheus depart, the magical fluctuations within the Element Tower gradually waned.

The defending elder realized the gravity of the situation, rushing back to the Element Tower to seek other elders and high command.

He suspected this undead army pressing the borders was solely to rescue Morpheus and the minotaur Arno.

With Morpheus, the Legendary Lich's threat level multiplied several times over.

He could bring vast numbers of undead silently onto the battlefield.

Launching sudden assaults.

No one could withstand millions of undead without preparation.

Seeing the undead army withdraw voluntarily despite holding the advantage, Levi was filled with doubt.

According to Savinia, the Legendary Lich should have sought revenge against the Element Tower.

The goal hadn't even been reached, why withdraw?

Besides, aren't you seizing the Dragon Heart?

Levi was somewhat stunned.

From start to finish, the Legendary Lich never appeared.

This felt inconceivable to Levi.

If not for the Dragon Heart, why cause such a massive disturbance?

Levi felt puzzled.

Yet the legendary mages within the Element Tower felt regret.

They had hidden inside the Element Tower, relying on it to mask their presence.

Waiting for the Legendary Lich to appear, ready to strike him down in one blow.

But when the battle ended, no trace of the Legendary Lich was seen.

The fight on the other side also concluded after Morpheus left.

Levi stood at the edge of the Floating City, surrounded everywhere by dry bones.

He gazed at the giant figure gradually receding on the horizon.

Looking down, the countless skeleton monsters on the ground vanished.

He suddenly understood.

So that was it.

Their goal wasn't the Dragon Heart, but to rescue the Mountain Beast.

The Legendary Lich had a grander objective, needing the Mountain Beast's aid.

The war was over.

The Floating City lay in ruins.

Citizens went out, hired by the Element Tower, to clear the undead corpses within the city.

Occasionally small skirmishes erupted, finding undead not fully dead harming people.

Levi walked towards the Hall of Truth.

He had blown up the Glory Magic Cannon, so he needed to account for it.

Levi also figured it out.

The undead army choosing to withdraw was also due to all Bone Bridges being destroyed.

Without the Bone Bridges, the undead could not be deployed in mass onto the Floating City.

The numerical advantage of the undead army lost its efficacy.

Morpheus could become a new bridge, but the significance was negligible.

Most importantly, when the last Bone Bridge was destroyed, the power displayed by the Element Tower.

Made Savinia and Arno feel immense threat.

Weighing the pros and cons.

The objective had been achieved, withdrawal was the best choice.

Arriving at the Hall of Truth, Levi met Fionrides, informing him of the damage to the Glory Magic Cannon.

Fionrides nodded, saying: "It's fine, you did well, this isn't your fault.

Thanks to the choices you made, we were able to help the Element Tower achieve final victory.

Your performance in this war will also be counted as merit, securing a chance to visit the Element Plane should be certain."

Levi saw Fionrides not only didn't get angry, but praised him instead.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

"I'm a bit tired, want to go back and rest for a few days," Levi said.

Fionrides nodded, "No problem, the war is over, the Sunflare research project won't be pushed so tightly, you can relax for a few days."

Regarding the reward, it will likely take some time to arrive; I shall do my utmost to secure the highest tier for you."

"Thank you."

He thanked Fanglides once more.

Li Wei took his leave, turned away from the Hall of Truth, and made his way toward the estate.

Returning to the estate, Li Wei’s thoughts drifted to the little bone dragon and the Dragon Blood Tree.

Worrying they might suffer during the war, he hurried to the rear courtyard for a glance.

He found several carcasses of skeleton birds sprawled in the yard, all taken apart by the little bone dragon.

The Dragon Blood Tree remained unharmed, not a single leaf having fallen.

Li Wei breathed a great sigh of relief.

Just as Li Wei prepared to turn and depart, he suddenly halted in his tracks.

He turned his gaze downward toward the earth.

Upon the ground, he discovered a footprint—it was not his own.

Nor was it Valen’s.

Valen had only visited on the first day when the Dragon Blood Tree was planted.

And had not returned since.

Kuro and Diana would certainly not approach the Dragon Blood Tree without Li Wei’s permission.

Then whose footprint was this?

Li Wei stepped closer and crouched to inspect it.

He found the print was still fresh, made but moments ago.

Li Wei looked toward the little bone dragon and asked, "Did anyone come?"

The little bone dragon shook its head, "No one."

Li Wei fixed his gaze upon the creature; he could sense the little bone dragon was lying.

Who exactly was it?

Why would the little bone dragon lie?

Under Li Wei’s scrutiny for a moment, the little bone dragon grew uneasy, turned aside to lie prone, feigning sleep.

The soul flames within its eyes dimmed, severing its connection to the outside world.

Li Wei circled the area, finding only that single footprint before the Dragon Blood Tree; the rest of the ground bore none.

It was as if the intruder had left it intentionally.

"To appear here silently without leaving any trace, yet deliberately leave a footprint for me, and even compel the little bone dragon to lie..."

Li Wei pieced together every clue, realizing perhaps only one individual could accomplish this.

A legendary lich.

He had actually entered the Floating City.

The visitor likely came to the Dragon Blood Tree because they sensed the aura of the Dragon Heart within it.

The Dragon Blood Tree had once absorbed a wisp of essential blood from the Dragon Heart.

Li Wei was puzzled.

If he wished to reclaim the Dragon Heart, why not simply come to find him directly?

Was there any need for such circuitous maneuvering?

After all, against the power of a legendary lich, he had no means to resist.

Li Wei glanced at the little bone dragon and retreated into the room.

He saw a letter resting upon the desk.

His expression shifted slightly as he picked up the letter to examine it.

"The Ritual of Impure Reincarnation..."
