287 Banchajanna Part 2 (1/2)

A piece of tourmaline rock was in Banchajanna's mouth, and on that piece of rock was the lightning dragon's egg. His gigantic body was swimming in the water, loitering in front the lightning dragon's nest.

In the face of such a massive spirit, Saleen could not help but feel a sense of beauty from the proportionality of Banchajanna's body. The six bone arms which extended from Banchajanna's back were about four meters in length, and each arm wielded a unique weapon. That ten-meter-long tail resembled a three-edged bone saw, with each segment of the tail having a three-sided razor sharp bone blade.

On Banchajanna's head were a pair of sharp, upright bone horns. In addition, blue magic patterns were spread across his body.

Saleen recalled that the three kings had held onto objects which resembled scepters, but now, the scepter was not on any of the six arms at all.

”Master, the six weapons wielded by Banchajanna represent the six types of power from the death dimension.”

The winged skeleton knew what was going through Saleen's mind, so he took the initiative and began explaining. Nailisi was upset. With the winged skeleton around, it seemed like she was of no use. As Nailisi stood behind the gigantic crystal and stared daggers at the winged skeleton, the thought of killing him surfaced in her mind once again.

Even so, it was very difficult to kill a spirit. At best, Nailisi would only banish the winged skeleton back to the death dimension. However, if Saleen managed to bring him back onto the human plane, then Nailisi's doings would be exposed. Hence, Nailisi decided to put the idea of killing the winged skeleton on hold for the time being.

”The six powers of the death dimension?”

”Elemental magic is present in the death dimension too. However, the real powers controlling the death dimension are fear, pain, suffering, despair, loneliness, and nothingness. Banchajanna's weapons reflect these powers. If a normal human being sees Banchajanna's weapons, it is highly likely that they will lose their combat ability, and they might even die.”

”So scary?” Originally, Saleen had regarded the spirit kings as being similar to sorcerers. However, he now understood that the power of spirits and elemental magic were two different things.

”Master, if you ever engage in battle with Banchajanna in the future, don't ever open your eyes during the fight.”

”Why?”

”Banchajanna is in control of these six powers. If you happen to look when his soul flames flicker, your emotions will be adversely affected, and you will have to battle those six powers every second henceforth.”

How would Saleen fight if he closed his eyes? Saleen thought of dozens of ideas, but none of them could be used to defeat Banchajanna.

”Why am I not affected now?”

”You are not Banchajanna's target at the moment. He is a spirit king, so his control over his powers is identical to that of a grade-9 sorcerer.”

Saleen remained silent for a moment, before asking, ”Spirits are restricted by the rules on this plane, but to what extent are the rules effective?”

”Master, Banchajanna and his companions used the summoning portal to access the Myers Mainland, so I am not too sure of the extent of the restrictions.”

Saleen pondered. He was not sure whether it was a boon or a bane keeping the three spirit kings by his side.

”Master…”

”Yes?”

”The lightning dragon has appeared!”

In that moment, Saleen snapped out of his thoughts. Looking into the distance, the lightning dragon could be seen swimming towards Banchajanna at lightning speed. Like the previous time, the lightning dragon still had silver skin that was filled with golden magic patterns. It opened its mouth and spit out a razor sharp ice arrow.

This ice arrow had a length of over two meters. This spell was obviously evolved, as it was not the usual level-2 magic.

With a sweep of the arm, the bone tomahawk in Banchajanna's hand accurately struck the ice arrow, smashing the massive ice arrow into smithereens and sending white debris flying in all directions.

After realizing there was danger, the lightning dragon suddenly arched its body and swam in a circle, not continuing to lunge at Banchajanna. The blue electric current in between those golden magic patterns converged together.

The soul flames within Banchajanna's eyes began flickering violently, as lightning could do substantial damage to spirits. Furthermore, lightning attacks could not be dodged. The six weapons in Banchajanna's arms knocked against one another, and the impact from this action caused radiating ripples in the water.

Saleen's alchemical boat was not spared either. This attack had no specific target, so the ripples with Banchajanna's power fanned out in all directions. Saleen reacted very swiftly. He only received part of the impact before channeling his mental power into the Myers Goddess' necklace.
