287 Banchajanna Part 2 (2/2)

The blue electric current on the surface of the dragon's body shot outwards before converging into a thick electric dragon and then striking Banchajanna. Banchajanna began trembling furiously, and his soul flames flickered very violently. The temperature of the surrounding waters suddenly decreased by a huge magnitude, almost freezing into ice.

Following that, Banchajanna's attack also accurately struck the lightning dragon.

Fear, pain, suffering, despair, loneliness, nothingness! These six powers from the death dimension were released in the form of ripples, and the lightning dragon had no way of avoiding those attacks.

The electric current on the surface of the lightning dragon's body moved about randomly, giving out loud crackling sounds. The dragon had not come across a situation like this yet. Its own electric current had hit the enemy, while the enemy's attack had also hit it at the same time.

As the lightning dragon stared at the egg which was in Banchajanna's mouth, an irrepressible feeling of pain and despair overwhelmed it. Its fury caused its body to be contorted like a hemp rope as an even stronger electric current began to be produced.

After being hit by the lightning dragon's attack, Banchajanna's soul flames were weakened and wavering. He could barely move his arm. That feeling of oppression by Shanglan seemed to have returned. That man who controlled the power of lightning was going to enslave them eternally.

Om!

Banchajanna mustered all his strength and raised his six arms, and then knocked his weapons together once more. As the ripples carried the six powers through the water, the lightning dragon's blue electric current hit Banchajanna again.

The speed of lightning was far faster than soundwaves, so Banchajanna was on the losing end. However, he did not want to give up. Since his arms could still move, Banchajanna repeatedly knocked his weapons together wildly, sending wave after wave of soundwaves outwards. In reality, the power hidden within the ripples was not soundwaves.

The silver skin on the lightning dragon's body seemed like it was decaying, as its skin became increasingly grey over a short period of time. Those golden magic patterns also fell into a state of disorder.

In truth, Saleen had only wanted Banchajanna to act as bait, but Banchajanna had provoked the dragon and did not escape back to the river. If it was in the river, the dragon's route of retreat simply needed to be cut off. By then, it would be useless no matter how strong the lightning dragon's electric current was. Saleen would just have to be patient and use his puppets to drain the river, and the lightning dragon would be doomed.

However, at this moment, something had come over Banchajanna, and he was in a head-on conflict with the lightning dragon. At the end of the day, Banchajanna was on the human plane. He was restricted by the rules and also had an inborn weakness towards the power of lightning. He was in no way in an advantageous position in this battle. His six arms could no longer move and the six weapons had disappeared. There was only one arm now, and that arm was wielding onto the scepter.

Saleen's mental power was only slightly damaged before he escaped into the Myers Goddess' necklace. But this time around, the remaining impact from Banchajanna's attack had caused Saleen to be rendered useless. Saleen suddenly felt that the things he were doing at the moment were meaningless.

So what if the lightning dragon is killed and the power of lightning can be obtained?

In order to become a mage and sorcerer, Saleen had endured so much hardship. He had to use the badge to train his mental power, and in return, his soul was tortured. What was the point of this even if he could live to one thousand years old? Ever since Saleen's parents had passed on, when was the last time he had experienced a happy day?

How about just dying and giving up the power of a sorcerer and the one thousand years of longevity?

Saleen retracted his mental power out of the goddess' necklace, and an empty gaze filled his eyes. Saleen tapped on the gourd at his waist, causing a six-meter long green water flow to fly out. The water flow revolved around his body, and this time around, the water flow took on the shape of a noose. This noose went around Saleen's neck several times.

The violent trembles formed by the elemental granules in the water flow only needed to give a gentle twist and Saleen's neck would be broken. After being affected by Banchajanna's attack, Saleen had lost all his morale, and he now had the notion of ending his own life. This still happened despite the preparation and reminder from the winged skeleton.

”Master.”

”Master!”

The winged skeleton and Nailisi exclaimed at the same time, causing Saleen's eyelids to jump. He took a glance at the winged skeleton and Nailisi, then said decadently, ”Soldier, once I die, you will be free. You possess intelligence, and you can stay here. The boat will be yours, so you don't have to return to the death dimension. Nailisi, come. Let's leave together. You don't have to endure punishment from the contract anymore.”

As Saleen spoke, a second water flow diverged from the green water flow and made its way towards Nailisi. Aboard this ship, the winged skeleton was sealed within the crystal, so it would not be affected by Banchajanna's attack because the crystal had been made by Judikaka. As for Nailisi, her blood made her immune to the effects of Banchajanna's attack.

The reason why demons struck fear into many living things was because of their strong vitality. Many powerful skills were ineffective against them. Many scholars had also said that demons had no souls. More accurately, demons did not have the negative emotions which humans had. Even if demons had possessed negative emotions, it was also very difficult for them to be influenced by their external surroundings.

Nailisi's blood was pure demon's blood, so she did not care about Banchajanna's attack at all. However, Saleen could not disregard it. He was merely a grade-4 mage. In order to defend against such an attack, one would need to be familiar with the method of defense in advance, and Saleen was clueless in this aspect. Otherwise, Saleen would have only needed to analyze the principles of this attack in order to render the attack ineffective.

”Master…” A green water flow wound around Nailisi's neck. This water flow was as flexible as Saleen's arm, and was also like the long tongue of a magic beast. The water flow went around the crystal before trapping Nailisi. No matter how strong Nailisi's body was, it would not be able to withstand the twisting from Saleen's water flow.

The winged skeleton was helpless while Nailisi was beyond petrified. No matter what she did, she would not be faster than this water flow. The magic patterns on the water flow were unusually beautiful as they swirled about, but beneath this beauty was imminent death. Nailisi's face seemed strange and flirtatious under the illumination from the magic lamp inside the alchemical boat.

”Nailisi, haven't you always wished for freedom? I will give this freedom to you now.” As Saleen smiled, the water flow gently pulled Nailisi towards Saleen. Saleen raised his hand and caressed Nailisi's hair, then said, ”Don't be afraid. It will only hurt for a moment, then we will die together.”

”Banchajanna!” The winged skeleton bellowed. Banchajanna had known that the alchemical boat was behind him, yet he had not controlled the direction of his attacks. He had allowed his attacks to spread in all directions. Now, the winged skeleton was not afraid of any superior being. He was solely fixated on killing Banchajanna.
