Another World's Versatile Crafting Master

Chapter 412: Wallet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was unbelievable indeed. How could a powerful level-20 Undead creature be forgotten by everyone?

The first impression the Humerus Wyrm gave was one filled with prestige and pride. Not only did it manage to stir up trouble for an Archmage with its Ice Flames, it nearly killed 10 Death Knights in the process as well.

Unfortunately, after Lin Li had downed the All-Knowing Potion that gave him the ability of a Legendary-mage, he’d made the Humerus Wyrm fall from the sky, and it lost its ability to fly for quite a long time.

Then, the battle between Legendary-mages started.

The tempo of the battle was freakish. Even Adelo who was at the peak of level-17 lost count of the number of the spells cast by the two men. No matter how almighty the Lich was, it could not find a chance to summon the Humerus Wyrm to help him.

Being a summoned creature, the Humerus Wyrm could only rely on its instinct when the Lich did not give it any instructions in battle.

Having lost its ability to fly, the Humerus Wyrm could only use its instinct to fight. Like a tiger without its teeth, the level-20 Undead creature was no match for the group of Death Knights.

Hence, things resulted in such an absurdity.

“Ujfalusi, are you interested in this fella?” Lin Li asked the Necromancer as he rubbed his nose. His casual tone made it sound as though that was not a Humerus Wyrm, but some carrots that were left on the road.

Lin Li’s arrogance was not unjustifiable. The Humerus Wyrm now was definitely no different from carrots. Although its powers were formidable, it could only use them when it was summoned by the Lich. It was certainly an invincible level-20 Undead creature when it was alive, but now that the Lich had died, it lost its right to live as well. It was no laughing matter. When the contract lost its functionality, the summoned wyrm would either get lucky and be sent back where it was summoned, or could only wait for its soul fire to go out...

Most importantly, the Humerus Wyrm would lose its support with the death of the Lich. Until it established another pact with a new Necromancer, it would be weaker than the lowest-ranking Skeletal Warrior.

The Humerus Wyrm was like a wallet that somebody dropped. Any Necromancer would be able to pick it up if they wanted to bend their back.

If Ujfalusi had the interest, Lin Li was very willing to let him pick it up.

“Thank you, Master, but... there’s no need to do that...”

“Why?” asked Lin Li. He did not expect that.

“It’s like this, Master. I’m only one step away from level-19, and my ability would be back to normal in a year’s time...” Ujfalusi hesitated, and glanced at Lin Li. “If you allow it, I hope to help Crimson create a new body.”

“Oh...”

Ujfalusi was referring to that Humerus Wyrm which was destroyed by the Holy Light when they were at the ruins of Syer Town. According to Ujfalusi, Crimson had a powerful wyrm crystal that was mightier than Ujfalusi himself.

Since Lin Li had that wyrm crystal with him, it was not difficult for Ujfalusi to create another body for Crimson. As long as Ujfalusi could recover his original ability, he could use that crystal to create a Humerus Wyrm that looked exactly like Crimson.

“No problem with that. I will pass that magical crystal to you when we get back.”

“Thank you, Master.”

“Hehe...” Lin Li smiled. He did not feel that he was at any disadvantage by giving the wyrm crystal to Ujfalusi at all, as it was still a profit to be able to garner the loyalty of a Lich in return. Furthermore, the contract Ujfalusi had signed with him was one that forbade any form of betrayal. The Humerus Wyrm under Ujfalusi’s control would be as good as his.

The only thing that troubled Lin Li was the Humerus Wyrm in front of him. What should he do with it?

Ujfalusi was the only Necromancer there. If he had no intention to bend his back, no one else would have the right to do it.

But, that was a level-20 Undead creature. Any Necromancers who were to sign a summon contract with it would have their combat capability raised to a whole new level. Lin Li could not expect himself to be so vexed over the meat pie that fell from the sky. How could he let this huge wallet vanish just like that?

“Norfeller, you...” Lin Li called out to him, but held himself back quickly. “Forget it.”

The thought of the blood oath he had with Norfeller reminded Lin Li that Norfeller would not be able to sign a similar contract anymore.

As the Lich’s magical wave grew fainter, the remaining force allowing one to summon the Humerus Wyrm became weaker as well. Lin Li could sense that the energy within the wyrm was depleting at rocket-like speed. He knew that it might vanish from the earth any time soon...

Goddammit, it is hard to leave that wallet there just like that...

“Yeah, what a torture...”

That was a voice that rang in Lin Li’s head.

“F*ck you, Connoris! You are such a shameless Peeping Tom! Did I not warn you not to ever peep again? Do you really hope to be thrown into the furnace?” Lin Li cussed angrily.

That bastard is getting more and more perverted these days. In the past, Connoris only attempted to use his mental strength to communicate with Lin Li. Now, did he just use it to peep at Lin Li’s thoughts? Damn this Spiritual Communication! If this continues, Connoris is going to dig all my dark secrets out...

“You’re too rude. Don’t forget that you are speaking to the almighty Soul Trader...” Unlike before, Lin Li’s threats did not terrify Connoris this time. This demonic soul that had been around for God knew how many years did not seem to sense Lin Li’s rage. “Not just that, I have a solution for this difficult situation as well. Can’t you show me some respect?”

“Damn you Soul Tr—” Lin Li wanted to cuss, but he held himself back with an ingratiating smile. “Erm... Almighty Soul Trader, do you really have a way?”

“Of course!” snapped Connoris.

“That’s great! Almighty Soul Trader, your wisdom and intelligence certainly make you the role model of all abyssal demons. I believe no legendary Demon Lords would be comparable to you. Since you are a forgiving man, can you advise me on what to do?”

“Hmm...” Connoris finally replied after all the flattery. “Alright, since you are so sincere, I shall bless you with some advice...”

“Yes, please continue...”

“Since that Necromancer is the only one who has the right to sign a summon contract with the Humerus Wyrm, you can stop thinking about that...” Connoris scoffed. “But, the contract is not the only solution. Did you forget that you still have an oil lamp created personally by Osric in that weird dimension?”

“You are referring to the oil lamp that sealed the Lord of Nightmares?”

“That’s right...”

“But...” Lin Li hesitated. “Wasn’t that oil lamp used to seal the Lord of Nightmares?”

“Who told you that an oil lamp could only seal one thing?”

“...”

“Hehe, I was there with Osric when he created this lamp. He even consulted me about the characteristics of souls...!”

Lin Li nearly burst out laughing. The sales pitch of the trader was so eloquent that he remembered to replace the word “interrogate” with “consult”...

“Almost everybody thought that Osric created the 12 lamps just to seal the 12 Demon Lords. How would they know what that crazy fella had in mind? That lunatic once told me his intention was to put the entire Abyss into these oil lamps!”

“...” Lin Li took a deep breath.

“Osric nearly used up all the things he won from the abyssal battle when he was creating the 12 oil lamps. Each of them could seal unlimited number of demons and Undead creatures.”
