350 Courting Trouble Part 2 (1/2)

”Who cares?” Aini did not care, and replied, ”This contract is of the highest standard on the Myers Mainland. Even if they possess any secrets, they will not render the contract useless.”

Saleen pondered it, then decided to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

On the square outside the magic tower, Daniel reacted swiftly to the situation. Immediately after spotting the Holy See's riders coming out from the teleportation portal, Daniel commanded the pirates to steer clear. Then, by himself, he led the pikoosi to block the entrance to the magic tower.

This broken magic tower only had one door. With a colossal creature like the pikoosi obstructing the path, it would be futile no matter how many more riders emerged. As the riders came out one by one, they could not really hurt the pikoosi. Furthermore, Daniel was experienced. He did not allow the pikoosi to kill the riders, simply commanding it to harass the riders to prevent them from all rushing out at once.

When the three kings descended on the square, only less than ten riders had managed to exit the magic tower.

Judikaka, who was usually calm and collected, also lost his temper at this moment. He had not expected himself to be duped by Saleen and Aini. Ten thousand years ago, the kings had been cheated due to inexperience. But after ten thousand years, they had already become kings, and yet they had still been deceived by human mages. This fact made Judikaka feel extremely humiliated.

However, the kings knew that the contract was vicious, hence they could only vent their anger on the Holy See's riders. The violence from the kings scared the pikoosi away, and the kings began their killing spree inwards into the magic tower. By killing from the outside to the inside, they prevented any enemies from escaping.

The riders from the Holy See were considered elites. According to the secular classification of professions, almost all the riders were at the standard of a high-grade swordsman. Since the riders were proficient in combat coordination, they would be able to kill enemies of a higher grade as long as they got into formation. At the very least, the pirates were no match for them. Only the elite swordsman's camp serving Lex would be able to match up to these riders.

Unfortunately, they had run into three fuming kings. A massive amount of power erupted from these three fellows, destroying the walls of the magic tower. A boom emanated from the base of the magic tower, and then the magic tower collapsed.

There were seven other people in the magic tower, and they managed to escape before the tower collapsed. Saleen and Aini each possessed their own flying abilities, while the faces of the five grand swordmasters turned grey in all that dust.

Saleen and Aini were understanding. They did not punish the three kings. If they had been the ones who were deceived, they would have been experiencing similar emotions as well. Saleen did not plan to use violence frequently to make the three kings to work for him.

After the dust settled, the three kings shoved the remains of the magic tower aside, revealing a magic array in the center of all that debris. This magic array was unusually sturdy, and had already been operating perfectly for tens of thousands of years. Continuous flashes of magic light came from the magic array. This magic array was about dozens of meters wide, and an endless stream of riders and holy masters emerged from it.

The three kings were enjoying the massacre. Since they had reverted to their original forms, they could slaughter most of these people with a single hit. Before becoming kings, they had experienced a protracted war back in the death dimension, so their warring techniques were also far superior to those of those riders.

Woo…

There was a long moan. Among the ruins of the magic tower, an illusory piece of holy text emerged and flew into midair. It was already approaching the boundary of the sky. Saleen and Aini's expressions changed abruptly. That holy master had actually left a message!

”Diyabannersa!” Saleen yelled.

Diyabannersa also spotted that flying piece of holy prose. Even though he was not willing to listen to Saleen's commands, he was afraid of Saleen's punishment, and he was also worried that the holy prose was a marking left behind by the god. If the holy prose was not destroyed, the gods would surely learn of their doings.

Diyabannersa raised his head and spit out a ball of green flames, engulfing that piece of massive holy prose and burning it fiercely.

The piece of holy prose began disappearing at a speed which was visible to the naked eye. Just as everyone began to feel relieved, the holy prose burst out suddenly, and a blurry symbol flew out from the center. This symbol penetrated the clouds and disappeared in a flash. That green flame engulfing the holy prose was broken up, splashing across the ground. A massive cavity in the hard ground, with a diameter of about three meters, was formed by the flames, its depth immeasurable.

As Saleen stared at this huge cavity, and his mouth twitched. Diyabannersa had not been lazy. He had used his strongest attack, but it could not destroy the holy master's skill.

”Aini, it seems like we have gotten into trouble!” After a long while, Saleen only managed to say, ”Are you afraid?”

Aini clenched his teeth, then said, ”It's only a matter of time before this matter is exposed. It cannot be kept under wraps forever. We should go back early, forget about this mineral vein. The Holy See would have dug most of it out anyway.”

Saleen was dying to return to the city base. By the time Saleen returned this time around, he would already be able to officially command the three kings. Additionally, the kings would no longer be able to skive, and the city could continue its expansion. Even in winter, the movements of spirits would not be affected. The city's defenses needed to be constructed as soon as possible. Even if this matter was exposed, the Holy See would have no choice but to wait. Saleen did not believe that the Holy See could deploy its troops and fly all of them to the city base.

If the Holy See's army traveled by sea, they would need to spend two years building the necessary ships. And if the Holy See's army traveled by land, they would first have to destroy two empires and half of the Qin Empire.

”It's good if you don't regret anything. But, we have to clean this place up first. I will not leave anything for the Holy See. As for the black mages…” Saleen pondered for a moment, but he did not continue talking. During the battle, he had not spotted any black mages at all, and there were also less evil dragons than before. Not all of the black mages were hiding here. It seemed like the black mages still had other hiding spots.
