339 Snowmen Part 1 (1/2)
”Vinz, Singiles, Lola, Gos, these are your weapons.” Saleen summoned the four magic beast swordsmen. In his mind, Saleen felt that in order to help the four men unleash their true offensive power, he needed to search for four magic beasts who were at a higher grade, and the magic beasts needed to at least be as powerful as the kolola beast.
”Sir, should we rest for one more day?” Vinz was the undeclared leader of the magic beast swordsmen. He was worried that Saleen might have expended too much energy during the refinement process.
”No need, we will keep walking forward. There is a narrow crevice up ahead. If the black mages have set a trap there, then we will have no choice but to make a detour of a few hundred miles.”
”But…”
”I am fine. Aini, are you able to get up?”
Aini, who was in the corner, yawned and stretched lazily before crawling out from the sleeping bag and saying, ”I can't sleep with all that noise. You can go ahead first. I'll be fine.”
”In that case, I will let the soldiers familiarize themselves with their weapons first. We will set off two hours after breakfast.” Saleen energetically blessed everyone with a Cleaning spell. Seeing that, the four magic beast swordsmen then had peace of mind. In the imperial palace of Cloudflow, the magic beast swordsmen did not have the right to do battle with a mage, so they had scant knowledge of mages.
In Daniel's death flames, the three kings roughly knew what was going on outside.
”Judikaka, Saleen seems to be in trouble.” Diyabannersa was easily unnerved. For the past tens of thousands of years, that constant influence by the scepter had caused his character to change completely.
Judikaka replied calmly, ”It's fine. Even though I have never heard of the black mages, they seem to be a bunch of people who were abandoned by their god. All those things like the black puppets aren't even strong. One spell from us will already eliminate hundreds or even thousands of them.”
”Why don't I handle those guys? Otherwise, Saleen will want to take a break on the spot. It's so troublesome.” Banchajanna had changed his tone, becoming a little similar to Diyabannersa. Banchajanna's next move was always unpredictable. To his enemies, that was a terrible thing, and to his companions, it was equally as terrible.
”Ignore him. On this trip thus far, have you realized the humans are very much weaker than we expected? Do you all remember when the last time we saw humans was?”
”Was it nine thousand years ago?” Banchajanna was not too sure. To the spirit kings, time was not significant. Even if they could not break free from the scepter's control, they could still live for hundreds of thousands of years.
”In less than ten thousand years, the humans have already fallen to such a state. Even the black mages can wreak havoc. We might not have to rely on Saleen in the future. Let's disregard his enemies for now. If we can look for a better partner, we will abandon him after this task.” Judikaka's soul flames flickered violently.
If all humans are so weak, it will be a good idea to stay on this plane in the long-term. Now, he somewhat understood why the abyssal plane had tried to invade the death dimension. Even though the death dimension was horrible, it was a lot more comfortable than the abyssal plane. To the spirits, the Myers Mainland was like paradise.
If a coordinate was properly constructed, spirits would be able to tap into a limitless supply of power from the death dimension for training purposes. And the power of life on this plane could be converted into strength for the spirits.
If a huge population of spirits were shifted to the mainland, many of them would make a grade advancement, and many more kings would emerge. In less than ten thousand years, the entirety of the mainland would be transformed into a second death dimension.
It was truly a tempting notion. But the condition was that the three kings had to become demigods first, in order to avoid being attacked by the gods on this plane.
By breaking free from the scepter's control, one would be able to become a demigod in the plane. Coupled with another million years of hard work, one would be able to transform into a real god.
Judikaka cracked up in laughter. Shanglan had left behind many riches for them, but the most important fortune of them all was the knowledge on how to become a god.
It might have been slightly more difficult for a spirit to become a god, but they had an advantage which no other creature possessed. A spirit did not need to train its body. As long as the soul flames were fused with divinity, the spirit would turn into a demigod. Human souls were not developed with time, so humans would have to spend some time in this aspect, and they needed to have a person to guide them along too.
Saleen's team spent two hours resting and checking their weapons before embarking on the journey. As they had the skeletal warhorses, they could spend more time on these minute details. Otherwise, given the quality of the pirates, marching them would be a troublesome task.
In the beginning, Saleen had used Lex's technique to command the pirates, but he quickly realized that the pirates were not Lex's swordsmen and could not obey every single command. When Lex commanded her swordsmen's camp, it was as agile as her own limbs. However, for the pirates, Saleen felt that controlling them was even more challenging than using prosthetic limbs.
Currently, Saleen had altered the way he commanded the pirates. Anyway, there was only a small group of pirates, so Saleen decided that he would employ magic to transmit his message directly to their ears. Even though this method was more troublesome, it could at least guarantee that the pirates would not misinterpret the command.
The scouts pioneered the journey, and they had already reached the crevice zone which Saleen had mentioned. This crevice was spacious. At the very least, Saleen's team, which had more than one hundred people, could pass through safely.
The five scouts rode on the skeletal warhorses and traveled through the over two mile long crevice zone. Two of them stopped to stay on alert, while the other three charged back into the crevice. They did not know the meaning of such an action, but Saleen had instructed them to do so.
Woo woo…
