546 The Mountain Without End Part 1 (1/2)

Saleen silently wished that Sika would act out in front of everyone. Assuming the strengths of both his and Lex's teams were the same when they finally discovered the seeds of the divine tree, in order to justifiably split it equally, Sika's acting out would have helped. If it was just based on the relationship between Lex and him, even if he only got half of the seeds, Lex's subordinates would still feel that the arrangement was unjustified.

In this world, there would be no status without power. Regarding the interdimensional space, Lex did not clarify with her subordinates. It was inevitable that some of them would be unhappy that they were collaborating with Saleen.

Right now, Lex's subordinates were still trusting and were easy to handle. In future, if Lex were to expand territories and recruit new manpower, things might not be the same.

Sika said to Saleen smugly, ”Look, now I don't have to climb the mountain like the rest of them.”

”Yes, but your… why did it become so small?” Saleen pointed at the monster bones and asked. The bones originally would be able to carry around four people, but now it could only carry Sika.

Sika knew what Saleen was asking and said, ”This thing can only be used by me. If the others wish to come up, they will first have to be able to handle Mental Storm.”

Saleen had nothing to say to that. Aside from mages, normal warriors basically had no resistance against Mental Storm. Only black metal grand swordmasters and above could one maintain fighting abilities while under the effects of Mental Storm. Those were only applicable if Mental Storm was an area attack though. It could also become a single point of attack, like what Sika used to attack Ismail.

In comparison, a single point of attack was also its weakness and could enhance one's survivability against Sika's Mental Storm. Mental Storm was not real magic, it did not have the ability to lock on and chase its target. Ismail was unlucky and was moving too slowly to be hit by Sika's attack, allowing Saleen the chance to capture him.

Lex met with Saleen at an area and she felt envious as well when she saw Sika's transport. Sika was the priestess of the Caucasus people and had secret lineages, so her abilities could not be learned. There was no point envying. After the monster bones had been completely refined, Sika would have the ability to fly and would no longer be just a normal warrior that could only depend on strength when fighting on land.

Saleen was pleased. Sika's breakthrough was the biggest help to him. He had also helped to refine Sika's boomerang again and it was now considered to be another magic equipment. Although the boomerang only had one mode of attack, its sharpness could not be compared to middle-grade magic.

Nailisi felt angsty. If she swallowed Ismail, she would also obtain a flying ability. Unfortunately, she did not have the time to digest now, she had to wait until they were back in Metatrin City. She would obtain the powers of Ismail and the supreme demon, no matter what.

The great power of the golden grand swordmaster lay in his ability to fly and his powerful attacks, as compared to mages.

Cuisi noticed the ugly look on Nailisi's face and was considerate enough not to use his flying ability. He was instead climbing the mountain with his own feet like everyone else. If he flew towards the mountain, without question, he would have been badly beaten up by Nailisi after that. Although he was more powerful than Nailisi, he had signed a contract and he could not go against it. Besides, he saw the possibility of advancement from Nailisi.

Cuisi was of a different breed amongst demons, and it was unfortunate that he did not have Nailisi's bloodline. Although his abilities were comparable to some supreme demons, he would never have the chance to improve in his lifetime. The ability of Luoluokaluo gave him a glimpse to the possibility of advancement. By that time, he might even have a chance to advance into a devil, which was even better than a supreme demon.

The other three demons were probably so compromising because they realized this as well. In the demon dimension, there was no room for Luoluokaluo to grow, and it was rare to find a mature body in ten-thousand years. Nailisi's appearance was an incredible coincidence for the four of them.

There were no paths leading up the mountain. The swordmasters were wearing Spirit Snake armor so they were able to use their limbs to climb up the mountain effortlessly. Unlike the desert, this environment was much more suitable for the swordmasters to show their true strengths. The two teams worked together and were able to climb up the mountain twice as fast as when they traveled in the desert.

After climbing for eight hours with maximum effort, the temple on the mountain still looked far away. Within the Goddess' dimension were systems made from stars that were filled with thick element, rendering the magic compass useless. Without the compass, Saleen was unable to calculate the real distance to the temple.

Saleen had seen the Goddess' necklace before and was already impressed with the Goddess' ability to manipulate the dimension. This mountain that seemed unreachable made him fully realize the difference in abilities between him and the Goddess of Myers. At his best, Saleen was only able to help Eleanor refine her arrow case. A normal dimension equipment was already beyond him. The arrow case was still a type of Elvish magic and was not something within Saleen's knowledge.

Raphael, who had similarly created a dimension, did not have the ability to create his own rules. Within the dimension of the metallic column, the rules were no different from that of the outside world. The six elements' space was not created by Raphael either. Some special materials were used and the rules were excited out of these materials and into existence.

In the Goddess' dimension, everything was created by her.

Everyone found a suitable spot to rest and stopped. Lex and Saleen discussed, ”If we keep moving upwards, I think it will take at least half a month to reach the top. What if…”

Saleen laughed bitterly and said, ”I think we will not be able to reach it even within a month. If you plan to go ahead first, then only the both of us can go together. Why don't we each bring along a person with flying abilities and go ahead first? There are no dangers here anyway.”
