347 Guise’s Death Part 1 (2/2)

”Let me go, I want to help Saleen!” Aini hollered, concealing the smugness in his heart.

”Hmph, follow us.” Diyabannersa grabbed Aini's neck and raised him up in the air. Aini's body was much weaker than Saleen's. Even if Aini was stronger than Saleen, he would not have been able to withstand Diyabannersa's grip either way. He was like a small bird, being carried by Diyabannersa towards the teleportation portal.

”Judikaka, we have a contract between us, are you thinking of violating it?” Aini could still talk, and he decided to yell.

”Contract?” Judikaka glanced at Aini, then sneered, ”At most, we will suffer the backlash of the contract. Do you really think that you can manipulate us? Ha…”

By the time Judikaka finished talking, a hint of red magic patterns had already appeared on his forehead. At the same time, the three kings felt that there was a crack in their souls. A mysterious force had imprisoned their souls, and then carved a layer of intricate magic symbols onto them.

”Diyabannersa, you can let me down now.” Aini laughed, ”The power of this contract is immense. As long you are on the Myers Mainland, this contract will definitely be effective. In order to keep the contract dormant, there is only one solution. That is, that you do not violate the terms in the contract.”

”Aini, what have you done?!” Judikaka was terrified. He wanted to grab Aini, but he realized that he could not move his limbs at all.

”Mm, Saleen, you can come down now.” Aini might have been grinning, but his gaze was frigid. Indeed, these three fellows did not harbor good intentions. They had already been thinking of deserting Saleen.

Saleen had been waiting just beyond the bend at the stairway. He was not so dumb as to duel with the holy master. At this moment, the most important task at hand was to subdue the three kings. What Saleen had not expected was that the kings would go back on their word even before reaching the relic. In fact, that was better. Saleen could leave right away. He did not really care about the things in the relic. His only motive being here had been to subdue the three kings.

Saleen had experienced many events in his life, and this, by far, was the smoothest one.

Saleen returned to the first story of the magic tower. He adjusted his magic robe and chuckled as he stared at the three kings, unable to contain his jubilance anymore.

”Aini, which one do you want?”

”Judikaka, I like smart people.”

”Fat hope!” Judikaka mustered all his strength and pointed his scepter at Aini.

”Judikaka, you had all better wise up. Otherwise…” Saleen pointed at Banchajanna. In the past, these two fellows had tried to kill Saleen. Hence, Saleen had decided that he would do a demonstration first.

All of a sudden, Banchajanna collapsed onto the ground, twisting in agony. Vigorous grinding sounds emanated from the joints of the illusory skeleton which had been transformed from Banchajanna, as if a metallic war chariot was running over gravel.

”Just use the power of the soul. It will be more effective against spirits.” While looking at Judikaka, Aini bent his finger. Immediately, Judikaka felt like his senses had been blurred. Judikaka was in disbelief. Even though there was an undeniable difference in their grades, he could not resist Aini's commands.

”Hmph…” Banchajanna sprang up from the ground and lunged at Saleen. He was indignant that he was going to be controlled by a tiny mage. Saleen did not move an inch at all and stood there waiting for Banchajanna's attack. Even before Banchajanna's bone finger touched Saleen, the red magic patterns on his forehead had already burst with a ray of red light, causing him to collapse onto the ground once again.

Jola and the others were aghast. This transformation was too astounding. They already knew that the three kings had not been summoned by Daniel and that the three kings were simply staying by Saleen. Jola had been extremely wary of the three kings. He had been afraid that the three kings might harm Saleen should they become angered. They could never have imagined that in the blink of an eye, Saleen and Aini now controlled the kings' freedom.

”I thought it'd be quite troublesome. Mm, Saleen, we should kill the guy up top first. We can afford to not go into the relic, but that fellow is very dangerous,” Aini said to Saleen as he pointed upwards.

Saleen pondered. The holy master up above might have been extremely powerful. If he were to leave now, the holy master might be able to track him down. By then, Saleen would have no control over the situation anymore.

He could abandon the remaining pirates and instruct the three kings to fly the rest of them back to the city base. Given the kings' flying speed, Saleen believed that the holy master would never be able to catch up.

Outside the magic tower, a continuous stream of different puppets blindly continued the offensive against the spirits. Judikaka had summoned more than four thousand spirits, hence outnumbering the enemies. Also, three evil dragons were slaughtered by Banchajanna. Even though the headless riders had an advantage over the low-grade spirits, there were not even one hundred of them. It was obvious that the situation was irreversible.

Black puppets were being continuously massacred. Bloody flesh was strewn all over the ground before it slowly converged together. On a distant hill, a poly spirit beast stood on the peak of the hill, staring coldly at the ongoing massacre. Following the deaths of the many black puppets, countless soul shards gathered together, forming new poly spirit beasts. The new poly spirit beasts climbed up from the ground, but they did not enter the battle.

There were less than ten poly spirit beasts. They occupied the four corners of the square outside the magic tower, and stealthily began surrounding the pirates.
