306 The Long-term Plan Part 1 (1/2)

Capturing the black armor warriors from the inquisition was not a difficult task. In order to save their own lives, the warriors fled in all directions, thus their power was dispersed. As the mages and swordsmen from Sregl Island worked together, they quickly captured more than twenty prisoners. They did not bother pursuing the remaining black armor warriors.

Under the interrogation by Nailisi, the assailant only held out for less than a minute before spilling the beans on the secrets of this operation being conducted by the Holy See. Nailisi then fulfilled her promise by giving the assailant a quick death.

Out of the four blades which the two assailants had wielded, two of them had been ruined, and Saleen put away all of them. The material of these blades was very special. Even though Saleen was well read, he could not identify the material from any of the books which he had read in the past. Since Nailisi's dagger had been destroyed, the material from these four blades could be used to help her produce a new weapon.

Using three times the times the speed which he used to fly to the forest, Banchajanna flew back to the city. He only revealed to Judikaka that he had let a high grade believer escape, but he did not mention the conflict between Saleen and himself. In Banchajanna's eyes, Saleen was insignificant. Saleen should not be unsatisfied with his actions.

In the death dimension, power decided everything. An inferior being should always obey the orders of a superior being without any grudges or complaints. However, Banchajanna had forgotten that most spirits did not possess intelligence. On the other hand, humans were the most complicated creatures out of all the creatures across the different planes. Using the lifestyle in the death dimension to judge a human being would cause Banchajanna to lose out.

Saleen secretly led the prisoners back to the pan's turtle alchemical boat. These prisoners already regarded themselves as dead people, and did not give it much thought. After death, they would be able to enter the heaven belonging to the Lord of Glory, and it would be a form of relief for them.

The winged skeleton was still inside the colossal crystal, and he could now control the entire alchemy ship. The magic array onboard this boat allowed his perception to spread out for thousands of meters. With this distance, he would not need any help from magic to be able to track his targets.

This feeling was immensely pleasing, and it caused the winged skeleton to become a little obsessive. Ever since the winged skeleton had become an intelligent spirit, he had been craving freedom. However, within the death dimension, he had been under the control of high grade spirits. He had then come onto the Myers Mainland under Daniel's summoning. Originally, he had wanted to stay by Daniel all his life, never to return to the death dimension.

Unfortunately, Daniel had abandoned the winged skeleton, causing him to be severely hurt.

Luckily, Saleen treated the winged skeleton well. The new master treats his subordinates well. Even that demon who only creates trouble is living a good life. Now that the winged skeleton enjoyed relative freedom, this powerful alchemy ship would shelter him from the various dangers present on this plane.

The sea magic beasts fought solely for survival. Since this alchemical boat did not have any flesh, it would not provoke any aggression from the sea magic beasts. By controlling this boat, the winged skeleton was considered free. The contract with Saleen was no big deal. The winged skeleton loved following a human, and when Saleen died, the winged skeleton would enjoy even more freedom.

The winged skeleton and Nailisi were different. Indeed, the two of them would have very long lives. However, the winged skeleton had not signed a soul contract, he had signed a summoning contract. If Saleen died, he would not die.

The winged skeleton was extremely confident that it was only a matter of time before Saleen became a sorcerer. Thus, Saleen would also enjoy a fairly long life. Before Saleen died, the winged skeleton would also be able to advance to grade-8. By then, the winged skeleton would no longer need to rely on humans to be able to stay on this plane. This logic was identical to that of the arrival of the three kings on the Myers Mainland.

Even if Daniel died, the three kings would not be banished to the death dimension.

”Master, what are all these slaves doing here?” The winged skeleton curiously sized those black armor warriors up. When the black armor warriors entered water, they had not received any protection, so most of them were coughing their lungs out. Anyway, these people were already dying. Saleen would never waste his magic chords on them.

After noticing the winged skeleton inside the crystal, the black armor warriors began panicking. They could guess what Saleen was going to do next. A few warriors, who had weak willpower, had already begun begging for mercy. They even started berating the Holy See for its ruthlessness and ridiculousness. They had only been trying to make a living by staying in the inquisition.

Saleen could not be bothered with these black armor warriors. The hearts and minds of the people inside the inquisition were crooked, in stark contrast with those of the pivotal council.

From time to time, the red bishops would bring their men to do some good deeds, instead of merely spreading the teachings of the god. But what were the people in the inquisition doing? Exterminating the dissidents and being unscrupulous. Even if Saleen was prone to feeling sympathy for others, he would not feel any for them.

”Stop making a ruckus. This is judgment time.” Saleen converted the restorative water into a mist, before delivering it into the noses of those swordsmen. By suffocating the swordsmen through forcing restorative water into their lungs, their injuries actually became better.

”Winged skeleton, do your thing.”

”Master, doing so will attract trouble.” The winged skeleton hesitated as he looked at those swordsmen. By doing such a thing, Saleen's actions would be equivalent to spitting on the face of god.

”Soldier, gods are not able to directly descend onto the Myers Mainland. The people in the Holy See will not know who it was. At most, they will suspect Banchajanna. Even I am not scared. What are you afraid of?”

”Master, I am not afraid. It's just that these people…”

”They have harmed tens of thousands of barbarians in the north all these years by turning them into blood cavaliers. I have said that this is judgment time.” Saleen's expression remained the same. After detecting Saleen's determination, the winged skeleton was also helpless. Since these people were evil, Saleen's idea could not really be considered overboard either.
