364 Long Voyage Part 2 (2/2)
Even though demons had a memory lineage, most of the time they fought based on instincts. A dagger was most suitable for Nailisi, but this long whip would allow Nailisi's combat patterns to be more varied. This was because she had a tail similar to it.
”Our future enemies will mostly come from the Sacred Holy See. Nailisi, try your best not to reveal your original form in the future.” Saleen reminded her patiently. Once Nailisi met with danger, she would return to her original demon form. Even though after evolving she looked incredibly human-like, anyone could tell that her tail belonged to the demon tribe.
Nailisi flicked back the long whip and the four meter long whip retracted, it became the snow-white dagger again in her hands.
The most intricate part about this weapon was that because the dimension stone was within it, when it was a dagger, an enemy would not be able to tell that the dagger could have other transformations. A dagger was the shortest weapon and if it suddenly became a long weapon during combat, it would have unexpected outcomes.
The dragon's backbone withstood all the energy of it and was a hundred times tougher than a dragon tooth. Saleen had processed it to its maximum. Even though a dragon bone was not as sharp as a dragon tooth, its toughness was something that a dragon tooth could not be compared with.
A dragon tooth could regrow if it had broken, it was brittle. The backbone of the dragon on the other hand had grown out in the entire lifetime of the dragon, until it became an adult dragon.
Nailisi was overjoyed, she only had two of the eight powers she could possess. The powers of the giant dragon and the lightning protection from the lightning dragon. This weapon came at the perfect time. If she had this earlier, she would not have had such a hard time when fighting with the black bishop.
”Master, I will protect you well.” Nailisi licked the sharp blade of the dagger, feeling the taste of the giant dragon on it.
”I am giving you this weapon in hopes that you do not die. Nailisi, you are a demon, you will live hundreds of times longer than me. If one day I were to die, you have a chance to return to the demon dimension. I have heard that it is very dangerous and you are only an imp. I have to leave you with something to keep you safe. This dagger has the dimension stone in it, you need to feed it with your blood. It will have unimaginable powers in time to come.”
”Master, why would you die? You will live for hundreds of thousands of years.” Nailisi giggled, but a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. ”Saleen that bastard, he made it sound so sad. He must be lying to me, right?”
”Nailisi, I am really not confident. Sregl Island is strong enough and I have a secret interdimensional space too. The Holy See… even Emperor Chanake was killed though. Do you know how strong he was? Until now, we haven't come across any elite yet that can be compared to Emperor Chanake. Compared to him, it is like the Gods descending.”
”What's the use of saying all this? We are bound by a contract.” Nailisi suddenly sat up, she realized she was very afraid of Saleen dying. Right now, this terror was not because the death of Saleen would hurt her soul.
”There are loopholes in a soul contract, I am researching it. When I am done researching, I will return your freedom to you.” Saleen smiled, lying on the bed. His words hung in the air like a stone.
”Damned freedom!” Nailisi shouted in her heart, yet she could only hug Saleen from behind. Extending her long tongue, she swooped it in front of Saleen and licked his nose.
”I have lived for eighteen years, I am satisfied. Who else can be like me, becoming a grade-5 mage from nothing in such a short time? I have killed a bishop from the Holy See, cheated a demon, become good friends with a viscountess, control a death mage, and a grand swordmaster. Heh, Nailisi, don't you think I'm a genius?”
”Master, you are the greatest genius on Myers Mainland. You even managed to trick the three kings. Those three fools, no doubt they are spirits. They do not have any hearts or brains.”
”Haha, I'm starting to believe the words of a demon.” Saleen stood up and grabbed Nailisi and said, ”Let's go and eat, they must be running out of patience.”
On the first floor of the cabin, Aini and the rest were waiting by the table. The winged skeleton called upon two more blood winged skeleton to bring serve them food. Irene had no appetite. The food was delicious, but the blood winged skeletons were too disgusting. Even Aini had lost his appetite.
Only Sika had not. She placed her cudgel on the table, taking up one side of the table. One of her legs stepped on the chair, she was using her boomerang to slice up the smoked meat.
Jola looked on, he had not expected such a pretty lady to have such an open side to her.
”Soldier, bring these two away!” Saleen was not disgusted by them but he could understand how Aini and the rest felt.
”Master, it is just a small joke.” The winged skeleton's voice sounded within Saleen's heart, Saleen was stunned as he looked on with a smile. The winged skeleton had finally gotten out from Daniel's shadow and was no longer cold and unfeeling.
