534 The Unyielding Soul Part 1 (2/2)

Ismail quietened down. He looked around the barrack and realized that everyone was looking at him without any fear. He felt incredulous. If they were counting on him being restrained by the contract, no one in this room was his match. As long as he could stop Saleen from using the badge, everyone was as good as dead.

Why were they not afraid? Although Saleen's badge attack was indeed scary, it would be difficult for him to aim accurately, unless Eleanor used her special skill to stun Ismail momentarily. Now that he was prepared for such an attack, there was no way Eleanor would have a chance.

Ismail was originally looking for loopholes to exploit, but right now, he dared not be hasty.

Saleen looked down at him and said, ”You can either sign a master-slave contract with me, or you can scram. This is the choice I am giving you.”

Saleen did not want things between Ismail and him to turn ugly, but the trouble that he had created was simply too big. Although Delase's soul did not manage to escape, the news of what happened and how the two adjudicators died could not possibly be hidden from the Supreme Court for long.

His God's Strength was too strong. Even Saleen who only possessed two and a half Divine spells could clearly sense it, what more the Glorious City. They must be going crazy over it.

Chasing Ismail away was perhaps a wise choice. The people from the Holy See would never consider capturing him alive and would kill him immediately. Lex and he needed to leave the Purgatory Desert before the Holy See found Ismail. If not, the people from the Holy See would swarm all over them like flies. If the Holy See activated their strongest forces all at once, even if Lex and he had godly items, it would still be difficult to escape death.

If Ismail refused to leave, Saleen did not mind using all his powers to kill him.

Although Ismail was strong and powerful the trap in the contract had already been set. Once he initiated an attack, his powers would be stripped away immediately.

As expected, Ismail fell for the taunts and began to laugh maniacally. Behind him, the Eye of Hades suddenly appeared. This time, the eye did not open slowly, but pierced through the entire room. With a loud explosion, Ismail was in the air. His hand went through the Eye of Hades, trying to retrieve the Element Gun.

Clank! An invisible lock kept Ismail's hand firmly stuck in the Eye of Hades. Jola and Su leapt up together, each holding a javelin, and rushed towards Ismail.

In the Purgatory dimension, Ismail's speed was exceptional. On the Myers Mainland, his agility was greatly reduced. Ever since he converted his faith to follow the Goddess of Myers, the powers gifted to him by the King of Hades became minimal. The tip of the javelins carried by the two Silver Grand swordmasters bore silver-colored sword aura and had also crystallized. Even if his body was made of metal, the javelins could still pierce through the two cavities.

Eleanor drew out her Elf Bow and notched an arrow, but could not shoot it. Ismail only had one hand trapped in the Eye of Hades. His other hand was lightning quick and managed to snatch the two javelins. This left hand immediately started bleeding.

”Ow!” Ismail roared in anger. The two javelins actually managed to hurt him. The fresh blood that was flowing out now had taken him thousands of years to accumulate. His physical body had decayed long ago. Only through Godly Power did he manage to try and form a new body bit by bit so that there was a possibility of recovering his abilities. The sword aura on the javelins pierced through his body and absorbed large amounts of his essence. This made him mad.

What was making him afraid was that the Eye of Hades seemed to be fading away along with the shrinking of the invisible lock. If it completely faded away, then his right hand which was stuck in it would also be taken away.

Ismail's strongest power had been restrained. He clenched his bloody hand and turned the two javelins into a twisted shape. His palm seemed to contain an enormous suction force. With one hand, he manipulated the two javelins into a metal ball and threw it at Saleen. There were purple flames burning noisily on the surface of the ball. The ball shrank very quickly and its surface became liquid.

Ismail was much tougher than the Three Kings. Although they were creatures of the same grade, Ismail received blessings from two Gods. The trap set by Saleen in the contract could only restrict the powers of his Eye of Hades, but not immobilize him completely.

Aiwa held his big shield and stepped in front of Saleen. Cuisi used a whip to pull Aiwa away. At this moment, Saleen released his Water Shield. The burning metal ball instantly bored through Aiwa's magic shield. If Aiwa was still standing there, the metal ball would surely have penetrated his body and left it with a huge hole.

Ismail had lost tens of Abominations and hundreds of Knights of Fear to Delase's calculated strategy. Now he had lost his most powerful ability for no reason and one of his hands was trapped in the Eye of Hades. Even so, one simple throw from him could still almost kill a demon.

When the metal ball made contact with Saleen's Water Shield, it did not burst the gigantic bubble. Instead, it sank into the bubble for almost a full second before piercing through it. By now, Saleen was also in the air, so the metal ball smashed into the ground and left a crater that was one-and-a-half yards wide in the black desert.

Ismail flew up and joined Saleen in the air. Although Jola and Su could also fly, they chose not to. The amount of time that Silver Grand swordmasters could stay in the air was too short. If they could not kill the enemy instantly, they themselves would also be put in a dangerous situation.

The loud commotion of the fight had alarmed Lex long ago. She walked out of her barrack to see Saleen surrounded by fog and in the midst of battle with his follower.

”Do you need help?” Lex shouted.

”No need.” Saleen stared straight at Ismail and said, ”Now, will you surrender?” After witnessing Ismail using the Eye of Hades, Saleen decided that convincing him to surrender might be a good choice. This power that was currently restricted by the contract was frightening. If Ismail was able to release it, perhaps only Lex and her God's Ring would have a chance against it.
