491 Hit and run Part 1 (1/2)

There was really nothing interesting in dealing with a Metal Titan. After the first Fossilization spell scroll was released, the Metal Titan was rendered immobile already. Lex went forward, and began casting the contract magic at the fallen Metal Titan.

Whether or not the contract magic would succeed was dependent on two factors. The first was the difference in the grades of both parties, and the second was the gap in their mental strength.

Even though Lex's mental strength was weaker than Saleen's, it was not much weaker than that of a grade-7 sorcerer. Coupled with the special powers in the God's Ring, she would have no problems dealing with the Metal Titan. Both parties had a large gap in their grades, the Metal Titan's vitality was much more powerful than Lex's. Despite releasing dozens of Contract spells, Lex could not even feel the slightest hint of compliance from the Metal Titan.

Out of desperation, she began using the scrolls to cast the Contract spell. Using this method, the probability of success would be further reduced by half.

It was good that Saleen and the rest returned earlier. If they had remained in the temple for one more month, the Metal Titan could have been captured by the Tanggulasi people instead. By returning earlier, the Tanggulasi Empire had not prepared sufficient manpower to come to the Stone Statue Castle. The armies nearby would not even dare get close to this place. A normal soldier was obviously not the Metal Titan's match. A large number of holy masters and grand swordmasters had to be gathered in order to deal with this colossal creature.

In this world, every gain was accompanied with a loss. Similarly, if one had lost an opportunity, another opportunity would quietly surface too. If the timing was not ripe, Lex might have to face a bombardment by Tanggulasi's army when she tried to subdue the Metal Titan.

The Tanggulasi's army was afraid of alarming the Metal Titan, so it only deployed a patrol team in the vicinity. Since the bridge had been destroyed, this location would not be the best place to cross the river, hence the Tanggulasi people did not even construct a temporary fortress there.

In order to fortify a fortress, metallic materials had to be added. With the Metal Titan around, such metallic materials might be dug up even if they were buried underground.

Lex's swordmasters did not bother concealing themselves, they prepared the magic war chariots near the main road, awaiting Lex's return. The two Black Metal Grand Swordmasters took turns scanning the area, they did not dare let their guard down.

Lex kept casting the Contract spell. The black magic runes rained down on the Metal Titan's skin, before disappearing promptly. The Fossilization spell scroll's level was too low, at best, it could only fossilize the Metal Titan for one and a half seconds. For safety, the eight mages would have to release a scroll every second, bombarding the Metal Titan continuously.

The Metal Titan's body was too enormous, it remained still whilst in the magic trap, almost occupying all the space in the trap. Lex could feel the rage in the depths of the Metal Titan's soul, but she was not affected at all. She simply opened the scrolls one by one, casting the Contract spell continuously.

Lex had distributed about three-thousand scrolls, sufficient to last for an hour before the Metal Titan had to be abandoned. It was more important to run for safety if they ran out of scrolls. The Metal Titan could not move its eyeballs, it could only glare at Lex with immense fury.

Time went by slowly, and half an hour had passed. The Metal Titan still showed no signs of yielding.

Saleen was beginning to get anxious already, as all these scrolls cost a fortune. If they were used in vain, it would adversely affect Lex's and his plans. If these scrolls were given to low grade mages, the low grade mages could greatly amplify the offensive power of an army. If these scrolls could not help capture the Metal Titan, then they would go down the drain.

”Nailisi, I have an idea now!” Saleen recalled that the four newly recruited demons might be of some help to Lex.

Nailisi gestured using her finger, and the four demons went to Saleen obediently.

”Help Master capture that monster!” Nailisi said concisely. The four demons simply looked at one another.

Cuisi said, ”My powers are similar to this fellow, but his body is too strong, I cannot defeat him.”

”Master, I can cast the Intimidation spell, I can give it a shot.” The chubby demon Tolesi volunteered. The other two demons were more brawny, they could not render much help either.

Lex overheard the conversation between Saleen and the demons. She understood the Myers language, the demons did not use any general language. If the Intimidation spell succeeded, it could indeed raise the probability of success of the Contract spell by a lot. Lex quietly made a space for Tolesi to stand next to her.

Tolesi did not stand at that position, instead, he climbed atop the Metal Titan's head and stood on its nose, casting the Intimidation spell into its eyes.

This was Tolesi's gifted skill, it did not consume any physical strength when used. Through the eyes of the Metal Titan, Tolesi's appearance kept changing, causing the Metal Titan's eyes to be bewitched.

Finally, in that one instant, fear appeared in the Metal Titan's eyes. Lex cast the Contract spell promptly, but it still failed. Lex was not disappointed though. Since the probability of success was much higher now, she was hopeful of subduing this colossal creature.

Tolesi kept casting his Intimidation spell, and the frequency of the Metal Titan experiencing fear became increasingly higher. Finally, at one moment when it felt fear, the magic runes released by Lex deeply penetrated its fossilized skin.

An unforgettable pain was unleashed in Lex's brain, but the Metal Titan experienced even more pain. As a ferocious creature renowned throughout all dimensions, the Contract spell was forcefully applied on the Metal Titan. It was in essence a kind of damage as well. Be that as it may, its powerful mental strength also reflected off Lex.

At the same time, blood gushed out from Lex's facial orifices. Lex remained composed, she immediately consumed half a bottle of magic liquid, thus recovering from her injuries.

Coincidentally, one hour was up. If there were any more delays, the Fossilization spell scrolls would have been fully depleted. With a tumble, Tolesi fell off the Metal Titan's head. He had passed out due to the consecutive casting of the Intimidation spell, causing his mental strength to be overdrawn.

”Aiwa!” Nailisi gave one order, and Aiwa immediately rushed forward to support Tolesi.
