347 Guise’s Death Part 1 (1/2)

Every story of this magic tower was six meters tall. On the other hand, the skeletons which the three kings had transformed into were only about two meters tall, so they could easily enter the magic tower.

Saleen looked back and said, ”Daniel, get some soldiers to stand guard outside, and clear the remaining puppets.” Then, he took out six grade-5 magic nuclei, handed them to Daniel, and said, ”If anything happens outside and you cannot hold the fort, go inside. There should be a short-distance teleportation portal inside. Use the magic nuclei to stimulate it.”

Daniel nodded in agreement and accepted the six magic nuclei. Usually, Saleen would give him grade-3 magic nuclei, and Saleen rarely gave him grade-4 ones. This time around, the grade-5 magic nuclei were for contingency purposes. Daniel also knew that even though the number of puppets was not small, he would likely remain unharmed because the spirits summoned by the three kings were around. Saleen had given him these magic nuclei only in case of an emergency.

Saleen followed the three kings and entered the magic tower. Beside him were Jola, a few grand swordmasters, and Aini. Saleen did not lead the pirates into the magic tower. He had decided that the pirates could be put to better use.

These ill-disciplined pirates needed to have an authoritative leader. As long as Saleen could change his position to that of the pirate captain, the pirates would easily be controlled. Previously, when he had commanded Gurney to kill dozens of insignificant pirates, the other pirates had not rebelled. Instead, they had become respectful of Saleen.

An approach needed to fit the personalities of the target audience. Even though the pirates had lost a few comrades, they did not hate Saleen. Instead, they hated Gurney. Saleen's dominance had won the respect of the pirates. Following that, the pirates would try their best to accomplish whatever orders Saleen gave. If a task was not completed satisfactorily, then the problem was with the pirates' capabilities, not with their attitudes.

Keeping these pirates by the side would be of great use to Saleen in the future.

Not many people entered the magic tower, but it already felt cramped inside. After the three kings entered the magic tower, they saw a teleportation portal on the first story. Then, they looked up and suddenly froze in their tracks.

The teleportation portal on the first story was the entrance to the relic, and it had just been used not too long ago. To the three kings, it was even possible for them to use their own powers to activate this portal, because such a portal would not consume much power. However, there seemed to be vibrations coming from a source of holy power on the upper stories.

Those vibrations definitely had not come from the gods created by the black mages. They originated from a real god. The three kings were on the verge of leaving already. Although they knew that it was impossible for a god to be here, it was merely a believer who was causing all this.

The three kings only had scant knowledge of the issue between the black mages and the Holy See. Judikaka pondered for a moment, then decided that the person above was a blasphemer who had betrayed his god.

”To the person above, you can come down now.” Judikaka's voice was majestic. Then, he said coldly, ”Let us kill you. Don't bother hiding, there's no point.”

”Filthy spirits, it is an atrocity for you to have come onto the Myers Mainland. In the name of god, be cleansed!” Guise's voice was loud and clear as it emanated from the fifth story.

Suddenly, a gentle white light flooded the first story. This white light could not be deflected, and it landed on everyone's bodies. Saleen raised his water shield in time against the oncoming light. The white light landed on the water shield, creating a ripple on the surface of the shield.

Saleen had already prepared himself psychologically. His water shield was not mixed with any other types of power, being purely elemental power. After the white light and the water shield came into contact, they did not attack each other, they merely separated gently.

However, the three kings were not so lucky. This holy light was directed at spirits. Crackling sounds were given off from the surface of their bodies. The grey radiance intertwined with the holy light, giving off abrupt explosive noises.

Guise had actually harnessed the power of the magic tower to increase the offensive power of his holy light. Furthermore, this divine spell was targeted solely at spirits. The three kings groaned at the same time. Diyabannersa spit out a ball of spirit breath, causing a thick grey radiance to envelope the three kings and Aini.

Jola and the others were not affected by this attack at all. This divine spell was targeted too specifically. Its offensive power against spirits had been increased by dozens of times, but in return, it would not attack any other beings.

Guise had no choice either. The three kings were simply too mighty. If he had not cast this divine spell, he suspected that he would have been killed in an instant by those three fellows.

The three kings were very doubtful. The divine spell cast by that man was of extreme purity, it could not be casted by a blasphemer. This meant that he had not yet been abandoned by the god!

The cleansing light streamed out endlessly from the walls of the magic tower, trapping Aini and the three kings.

Saleen sneered. At this critical point in time, the three kings were still being so overly cautious. It seemed like the trap in the contract would definitely take effect this time around. When Saleen thought of this, he signaled to Jola, then began making his way up the magic tower in a haughty manner.

”Saleen!” Judikaka cried. Saleen did not even turn his head and his shadow disappeared at the bend in the stairway.

”What now?” Banchajanna asked Judikaka hesitantly. They did not wish for Saleen to take the initiative to attack. The outcome was very unpredictable in a conflict against the believer of a god.

”We will go down!” Judikaka clenched his teeth, and was about to make his way to the teleportation portal. At this moment, he had decided to abandon Saleen. This mage made him feel very uncomfortable, and he could hardly be controlled too.
