Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 1094 - The Star



Chapter 1094: The Star

“Is this the passage that leads to the next floor?” Connoris asked as he walked towards the stone door, and reached out to touch the light curtain. However, the gentle touch made him flinch and jump away immediately like he had been struck by lightning.

However, Connoris’ performance gave Lin Li a great shock. Connoris’ body was the perfect body that was known to be stronger than the ancient wyrms. How did he have such an intense reaction right after touching the light curtain slightly? Is this not the door to the next level?

At the thought of this, Lin Li walked over and stretched a finger out before tapping the light curtain slowly. He couldn’t be blamed for being so careful and cautious, because he had been scared by Geresco. God knew what there might be behind the light curtain.

“What is Geresco getting up to!? This damned light curtain almost made my body fall apart.” As Connoris spoke, he took a few steps back, clearly afraid after what happened just now.

However, as soon as Lin Li’s finger came into contact with the curtain of light in the middle of the stone door, an irresistible force surged over and yanked his entire body into the stone door.

Upon sight of this scene, Connoris and the two Undead servants were rather dumbfounded. Lin Li was a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse, so what kind of power could drag him into the stone door without any means of resisting? After some hesitation, Connoris walked over again and reached out like Lin Li did, tapping the light curtain in the middle of the stone door.

However, Connoris still felt a massive pain when waiting. Besides, the light curtain shrunk and flickered again, as if it hadn’t taught Connoris enough of a lesson. Connoris was propelled away and his body slammed hard against the rock wall, forming a human-shaped hole in the wall.

However, although the situation was bizarre, Ujfalusi and Norfeller were not very worried, because they were both bound by Soul Contract with Lin Li. If anything happened to the latter, the two of them would perish with him. Although they had lost soul contact with Lin Li, they could still feel that Lin Li was no longer in any danger. Besides, after seeing the tragic state that Connoris was in, they stopped trying to enter that light curtain.

After Lin Li was pulled in by the unparalleled force, Lin Li discovered that the scene before him on the other side of the door was completely beyond his expectations. Initially, he’d thought that the inverted tower should probably be the same as the first floor, which was a learning space that could give him guidance for breaking through. However, he was now greeted with a room that seemed spacious but didn’t occupy too large an area. Besides, he could feel some slight undulation under his feet, as if he was in the sea.

After walking out of the room and going outside, Lin Li finally verified his conjecture. At this moment, he was in a large ship that was surrounded by a boundless sea. There were birds chirping and hovering around the ship with waves rolling all around.

Why am I on a ship? Why did Geresco bring me here? A large number of questions popped up in Lin Li’s mind immediately. Based on the information that he had obtained previously, it seemed that Geresco had left the inverted tower in order to let the person who obtained everything to get to a greater height. However, he could not figure out how the surrounding scenery had anything to do with improving his strength at this point.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, he could tell that the large ship was obviously sailing in a certain direction, so there should be someone or something operating the ship, right? With that in mind, Lin Li turned around and headed towards the cabin of the ship. With his understanding of the structure of the ship, he soon found the pilothouse of the ship.

However, something even more surprising happened. The ship was indeed not sailing on its own, but the one steering the ship was not human, either. Instead, it was a short skeleton with a small body. Besides, after hearing that Lin Li had entered, the small skeleton turned around without any hesitation, and said, “Welcome to The Star, my noble master.”

“Wait, who are you? Why are you calling me master? Where are we flying towards?” The tiny skeleton’s words made Lin Li more and more puzzled. Why did I become the skeleton’s owner for no reason? Did Geresco leave this skeleton behind for me too?

“According to the former master’s instructions, the first person to step on The Star after him will become my new master. So, you’re my master and the owner of this ship, The Star.” The skeleton put its chicken-claw-like hand on its chest and bowed to Lin Li respectfully, its bones cracking loudly at the same time.

“Former master? Was Geresco the master of this ship?” Lin Li asked again. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still found it incredible, and truly could not figure out what Geresco was getting up to.

Without any annoyance, the skeleton, which had soul fire flickering slightly in its eye sockets, patiently answered, “Yes, my noble master! The master of The Star used to be Geresco, and now it’s you.”

Seeing how solemn the skeleton made it sound, Lin Li stopped hesitating, and continued to ask, “In this case, can you tell me where this ship is sailing to now?”

Hearing Lin Li’s question, the soul fire in the little skeleton’s eye socket flickered twice. Seemingly put on the spot, it answered, “I’m very sorry, my noble master. The Star is traveling along the course set by Lord Geresco. I don’t know where it’s sailing to, either.”

The skeleton’s words made Lin Li feel somewhat speechless. After staying silent for a while, he said, “Have you and this ship been sailing aimlessly on the sea for thousands of years?”

The inverted tower had existed for thousands of years. If the skeleton and The Star had been sailing on the sea aimlessly for thousands of years, they should have already covered the entire Endless Ocean. How could they still be en route to the destination now?

“No, Master, according to Lord Geresco’s arrangements, The Star has only started sailing on the predetermined course when you appeared in the pilothouse,” the skeleton answered straightforwardly.

After asking those questions, Lin Li knew that there was nothing more to ask, so he decided that it would be better to wait and see where The Star was sailing. Of course, while waiting, Lin Li did not slack off or idle about, either. Instead, he carefully studied the situation on The Star. It was not just a large ship. It was simply a battle fortress on the sea.

When it came to battleships, there was probably no nation in Anril that could compare to the Gilded Kingdom. The alchemical ship of the Gilded Kingdom was the most powerful type of battleship in Anril, and that wasn’t an exaggeration at all. Its shocking defensive power and amazing armor were definitely not what the small boats of other nations could compare to.

However, after studying The Star, Lin Li discovered that the alchemical giant ship of the Gilded Kingdom was nothing compared to The Star. First of all, The Star was way larger than the giant alchemical ship of the Gilded Kingdom, which looked like a tiny boat in comparison. Besides, in terms of attack power, the giant alchemical ship of the Gilded Kingdom was simply not on par, as the main cannon of The Star would probably be able to turn the Gilded Kingdom’s giant alchemical ship into ashes in one shot, and the main cannons of the Gilded Kingdom’s ships were merely ordinary cannons on The Star.

While possessing such terrifying offensive power, The Star also had amazing defensive power. The defensive shields that were used on The Star were surprisingly similar to that of the Sky Castle, which was an excellent defensive method that could block even a Nether Storm. Once the defense on The Star was activated, a giant alchemical ship of the Gilded Kingdom would probably be unable to harm its foundation even if they released cannons and attacked nonstop.

While Lin Li was studying The Star, a massive wave rose from the distant sea, after which a massive figure that was just as large as The Star emerged from the huge wave. Lin Li went to the deck and looked at the massive figure in the distance, only to discover that it was actually a nine-headed sea dragon, whose species had already vanished from Anril a long time ago.

The nine-headed sea dragon looked like a long-necked dragon from the dinosaurs’ era, and the way the nine necks moved would give others a giddy spell. Lin Li knew that the nine-headed sea dragons were the dominant force in the Endless Ocean during the prehistoric times, and they were definitely the nightmare of those who sailed on the sea even during the Dark Age.

The nine-headed sea dragon was different from the land-dwelling magical beasts that had multiple heads. Each of its nine heads had the ability to manipulate water magic. Whenever one of them reached the peak of the Legendary-level, a new head would grow, and nine heads meant nine peak Legendary-level powerhouses. Although they couldn’t break through to the Sanctuary-realm, their nine peak Legendary-level heads made ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses run as far away as possible whenever they saw the nine-headed sea dragon.

Perhaps because The Star had entered the territory of the nine-headed sea dragon, the latter charged towards them without fear even though The Star was much larger than it. Of course, there was nothing much in the Endless Ocean that would scare the nine-headed sea dragon, not even the Unicorn Whale that was much larger than it. Usually, Unicorn Whales would become the nine-headed sea dragon’s meal.

Seeing the nine-headed sea dragon charging towards The Star, Lin Li was instantly astonished. Although the skeleton had already said that he was now the owner of The Star, he was clueless as to how to control the ship. Encountering the nine-headed sea dragon, the hegemon of the sea, was clearly not something worth rejoicing about.

Besides, Lin Li was still waiting for The Star to take him to his destination. He didn’t want the nine-headed sea dragon to disrupt his journey. Hence, before the nine-headed sea dragon got near The Star, Lin Li flew over while whipping out the Helios’ Scepter, and attacking the nine-headed sea dragon.

Lin Li was like a mosquito when facing the massive nine-headed sea dragon, but he was emitting the aura of a Sanctuary powerhouse, which made the nine-headed sea dragon somewhat wary. However, it was only slightly cautious. After all, as the hegemon of the sea, it had dealt with Sanctuary-level magical beasts before.

Watching as Lin Li flew over, one of the nine heads of the nine-headed sea dragon roared, and a massive wave rose immediately. It then smacked Lin Li as if a mosquito. However, Lin Li was not a mosquito, and when the massive wave appeared before him, he dodged the massive wave. At the same time, he waved the Helios’ Scepter in his hand.

As Lin Li swung the Helios’ Scepter out, the dark clouds in the sky above the nine-headed sea dragon suddenly began rolling, immediately after which massive ice cubes that were like tiny mountains appeared, whistling and smashing against the large body of the nine-headed sea dragon. If the nine-headed sea dragon had been replaced with a giant alchemical ship of the Gilded Kingdom, it would probably have capsized after being smashed by the giant ice cubes that were falling down like rain.

However, the nine-headed sea dragon was called the hegemon of the sea for a reason. When the giant ice cubes fell, massive waves surged up around the nine-headed sea dragon, and immediately sucked the ice cubes into the sea. At the same time, the nine-headed sea dragon didn’t forget Lin Li, the culprit. Jets of water emerged from the sea ferociously like lava spewing out of a volcano in a bid to knock down Lin Li who was like a mosquito.

Of course, Lin Li knew that the massive ice blocks did not pose much of a threat to the nine-headed sea dragon, and he pulled that move only because he wanted to test the strength of the latter. If Lin Li was only a beginner of the Sanctuary-realm, he might have to face the nine-headed sea dragon’s attack. However, Lin Li was already a high-level Sanctuary powerhouse who was close to the peak of the Sanctuary-realm. Although the nine-headed sea dragon was equivalent to nine peak Legendary powerhouses, its power was still insignificant to high-level Sanctuary powerhouses.

Lin Li waved the Helios’ Scepter in his hand lightly, and his Domain World immediately enveloped the sea, while the jets of water that darted out of the sea were instantly suppressed under the power of the Domain World. Immediately afterwards, Lin Li stopped wasting time with the nine-headed sea dragon as he coalesced the Light and Darkness Sword in the sky, and slashed it at the nine-headed sea dragon immediately.

The nine-headed sea dragon had nine heads but only one body. When the Light and Darkness Sword slashed open the nine-headed sea dragon’s body, it would still suffer considerable damage and die even if it had 900 heads. Since Lin Li had used the Light and Darkness Sword to slice the body of the nine-headed sea dragon, it was time to harvest the magical crystals of the latter.

At this point, Lin Li also suddenly realized something. It was no wonder that the nine-headed sea dragon would vanish from the Endless Ocean. Killing one magical beast to obtain nine peak Legendary magical crystals was definitely the best deal. Of course, that was also a feat that could be achieved only by Lin Li. If it had been an ordinary person, he would probably have been eaten up by the nine-headed sea dragon.

After killing the nine-headed sea dragon, Lin Li returned to The Star, and continued to study the structure of the ship while waiting to reach the destination.
