183 The Undead Spirits Part 2 (1/2)

Saleen carefully studied the more than three hundred symbols. He had never seen them before, but he could understand all of them objectively. This was an advantage of having studied the Figaro formula. So long as they were words with order, Saleen could vaguely understand the meaning they held.

This was enough. Saleen was not looking to create a piece of holy equipment like the Book of the Fallen. He only wanted to understand where these evil spirits came from and how to destroy them.

Mages thought that the world was composed of the six types of elements, and from the very beginning, each and every dimension had started at a point where there were only the six elements. These six elements had combined to slowly form a dimension. The process was long, and the longer the evolution took, the longer the lifespan of the dimension was as well.

These six elements were based upon ground, water, wind, and fire, and had twenty-four simple transformations.

Hence, no matter how complicated this world was, each detail could be calculated in reverse to deduce its original appearance.

In reality, there were twenty-four spaces in the Goddess Necklace and they each represented one of the twenty-four beginnings of the Myers Mainland. Once a person grasped these beginnings, in theory, a mage would be able to create a world of their own.

Inside of Raphael’s magic tower, in the cheese-like metal pillar, one such world had been created.

Saleen, of course, did not want to copy Raphael. He only wanted to understand some of the changes that had taken place in order to completely wipe out those evil spirits.

Saleen had not planned on learning these beginnings at this time, but now that he was stuck within the cage of the black deacon, he had no other choice.

The bodies of the evil spirits had still been created from the six primary elements. Hence, magic was able to hurt them. This was in line with the first law of the Myers Mainland. Saleen thought quietly as he investigated other possibilities.

Within the Goddess Necklace, his speed of calculation was much faster than it was when he was outside. He was not anxious.

As Sika waved her cudgel, the evil spirits were attacked from all directions. The ice plate armor on her body had already disappeared and since Saleen had entered into his meditative state, four hours had passed.

The evil spirits began attacking more frequently and the three of them started taking turns to rest. If the two constructed puppets had not been blocking the attack from one side, the situation would have been even worse.

”Nailisi, I need to rest another ten minutes,” Sika said as she put away her weapon and came before Saleen. Closing her eyes, she fell asleep almost immediately.

”Okay.” Nailisi nodded and took out a large number of level-1 scrolls from her bracelet. These scrolls were from Dragon’s Tooth Town and Saleen and Nailisi had not taken much notice of them. Levl-1 scrolls were created by grade-2 mages in order to familiarize themselves with level-1 spells and did not have much value to them.

Hence, the materials used for level-1 scrolls were very common and the spells inside of them could not last for more than three months. Once three months had passed, these scrolls would become useless.

If Saleen and the others had not come, these level-1 scrolls would have been sent away from Dragon’s Tooth Town and would have been quickly sold in the towns nearby.

Level-1 scrolls could be released by magic disciples and their low prices were their advantage. Most mercenaries could not afford to hire mages, and sometimes, even the wealthy were not able to. An inferior level-1 scroll had a price similar to that of a grade-1 magic nucleus, and was worth less than five gold coins.

Five gold coins was certainly not a hefty price, but it allowed a magic disciple to release a level-1 spell like the frost array.

If it surrounded a grade-3 or below magic beast, the frost array could cause any target’s speed to be irreversibly slowed and could create suitable conditions for a swordsman to deal a fatal blow.

Nailisi was making good use of these low-grade items. She did not need to use much energy and only needed to open the scrolls one by one to defend against the attacks. She had only become able to release scrolls after maturing, and her focus was as ample as Saleen’s. So long as there were enough scrolls, Nailisi could serve as a mage with incredible close combat skills.

Daniel did not waste any time in restoring his death flames and he was no longer interested in finding out more about Nailisi, who was both able to release scrolls and was good at close combat. After over four hours of battle, his death flames had dimmed considerably and he was in dire need of replenishment from a magic nucleus.

Nailisi’s face looked incredibly devilish under the eerie glow of the purple flames, and as she opened a scroll, her sapphire eyes shot out a shimmering gold light which shined onto the scrolls and activated the magic. There was a pile of over a hundred magic scrolls by her feet, and the value of these magic scrolls was probably less than an effective level-3 scroll. Right now, the level of the abilities used was not important. The number of scrolls was more important.

Nailisi reckoned that if she continued to battle and rest like this, she could hold out for three to five more days without much trouble. The evil spirits were too weak and were not even comparable to magic insects.

Suddenly, Saleen opened his eyes just as Nailisi was about to open a fireball scroll. The giant fireball was shot out without any aim and it seemed that the mage who had created this scroll had not grasped the true meaning of the Fireball spell.

The Fireball spell was essentially a level-2 spell and there was a simplified level-1 version of it. A level-1 fireball could not lock onto any targets, but it also did not fly away unsteadily like what it was doing now.
