Chapter 419: Death Crisis, Dizziness Potion
Jiang Li raised the Ancient Leaf of Life high above his head, pouring all his power into it.
The entire six-story Bone Castle was shrouded in holy light.
Those skeletons were not idle either; they did their best to reduce all the Norlanders' health to critical levels, making the conversion process easier.
Yet even so, Jiang Li kept consuming potions.
Spiritual potions were consumed as if they cost nothing, with him swallowing over a dozen bottles at once.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
With his current abilities, converting so many Norlanders at once was a difficulty level that could only be described as hellish.
If he failed, he would have no choice but to kill them all.
Obviously, the latter was far easier than the former, but he did not want to do that.
That would not benefit his future plans; in fact, if his abilities were up to the task, Jiang Li would have even wanted to spare Arondas's life.
But Arondas was simply too strong to be converted, which was why he had to be killed.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still holding out for? I am Norland the Third, the true direct descendant of the Second Norland King, the Prince of Norland!"
"I have come to save you. I have already passed the ultimate trial of the Trial Valley!"
One sentence shook the hearts of all the corrupted Norlanders.
Norland represented hope, along with fanaticism; these people's true hearts and their loyalty to Norland were beyond doubt.
Seeing it was effective, Jiang Li conveyed his intent to the many skeleton soldiers.
These skeleton soldiers then began to use their eloquence to persuade them.
Gradually, a large number of Norlanders began to feel resistance toward the darkness in their hearts.
Even quite a few Norlanders found excuses for their own corruption.
"Why did I become corrupted?"
"Because I could not find hope in Norland; the true Norland was in darkness. But now it is different. Now the true Prince of Norland has returned, the King has returned, and he has passed the ultimate trial of the Flame Valley, gaining the recognition of the Second Norland King—so why should I be corrupted?"
"Why did I become corrupted? I merely heard that in the Dark Abyss Kingdom, men are ugly, but women are exceptionally beautiful, so I was attracted by those women. How shameless! I am a Norlander; I should dedicate everything to Norland!"
With their will wavering, the cleansing by holy light became somewhat easier.
In the blink of an eye as these thoughts shifted, two-thirds of the Norlanders had their darkness purified and returned to the light.
With some Norlanders purified, a domino effect took hold, and Jiang Li felt much more at ease.
Holy light shone everywhere.
Finally, the last Norlander was purified.
All the Norlanders knelt before Jiang Li.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, put away the Ancient Leaf of Life, and said, "Return to Norland in your original, unpurified forms!"
"You should know what to do, right?"
"To serve the Crown Prince, to serve Norland, we are willing to die!"
Jiang Li nodded and looked at these people again, realizing that since there was light in their hearts, it would not be so easy for the darkness to take advantage of them again.
Just then.
The entire Bone Castle began to tremble.
Jiang Li frowned and said, "You all return to Norland; I will see what is happening here!"
No one dared to disobey the order.
One by one, the Norlanders vanished as their bodies turned translucent.
Jiang Li then swiftly opened the Bone Castle's public channel.
【Notice: The final BOSS of the Bone Castle has been killed by an unknown expert. The Bone Castle is now upgrading. During the upgrade, a massive amount of dark power will surge in. All class-advanced players must evacuate within half an hour.】
Seeing this message, Jiang Li sucked in a breath of cold air.
He never expected the Bone Castle to upgrade again.
If it upgrades again, won't it mean that only third-class-advanced players can come to the Bone Castle?
Third class?
Reaching third class requires reaching level sixty.
"No, I must find Transcendent Xiao Li and take her out of here!"
Just now, while observing secretly, he saw that Luo Bosi had evil intentions toward Transcendent Xiao Li.
Now that the Bone Castle is upgrading, that Luo Bosi might develop some evil thoughts.
Although it felt incredibly troublesome.
Jiang Li would absolutely not let Transcendent Xiao Li die in the dungeon; otherwise, he would feel ashamed and could never face Xiao Ning'er again.
"Go find her! Transcendent Xiao Li!"
Jiang Li issued orders to all his skeleton minions.
Over a thousand skeletons suddenly scattered into every space on the six floors.
Jiang Li did not spare a single inch of space either.
Yet the more he searched, the darker his expression became.
Whether it was Transcendent Xiao Li or that Luo Bosi, their Body Escape Technique was so skilled that if they wanted to hide, Jiang Li's current methods were completely unable to find them.
"All of you, come back! I will search myself!"
Jiang Li shouted loudly.
All the skeletons returned to their own worlds.
Jiang Li hesitated for a mere instant, then directly used Shadow Escape to dive into the darkness.
That Luo Bosi might have been terrified out of his wits by the Ice Diamond Skeletons; seeing Ice Skeletons everywhere, how would he dare to come out?
Even Transcendent Xiao Li dared not appear rashly when unable to distinguish friend from foe.
Facts proved Li's thoughts were correct.
For just as Dangjiang Li was about to give up, upon reaching the Fourth Layer, he saw two figures dart out from a dark corner: Luo Bosi and Transcendent Xiao Li.
Transcendent Xiao Li stepped backward, looking at Luo Bosi and asking, "Luo Bosi, what are you doing?"
And Luo Bosi tore off the hypocritical mask he had worn moments before.
"What am I doing? Lady Xiao Li, with a lone man and a lone woman here, what do you think I'm going to do?"
"Besides, the chaos that just occurred in the Bone Castle was so great that even if you died, who would know the problem lay with me?"
"I know you are the eldest daughter of the Blue Sea Base City Lord. Either I, my identity, the identity of the Blue Lake City Young Master, would not disgrace you!"
"Or— even if you die, I will still make you laugh!"
"You shameless!"
Transcendent Xiao Li stepped backward; the two's combat power differed greatly.
Moreover, the most critical point was that the Ice effect afflicting Transcendent Xiao Li had not yet faded; normally, consuming Blood Pills or Magic Pills would result in a relatively slow recovery speed.
If they fought, she would be utterly no match.
"Stalling for time?"
Luo Bosi said, "Little girl, having just escaped that Undead Magic user, I am full of rage; today I will let you vent my anger for me! Hahaha!"
