653 Water Puppet Part 2 (1/2)

Saleen hid in the room and patiently observed what was happening outside. He was not worried about the Three Kings, he was only worried that the gold grand swordmaster would suddenly rush up. Now, the gold grand swordmaster was three miles away and the five-thousand strong black-armored army was ready to march off. If the gold grand swordmaster wanted to, he would be able to reach the city wall in half a minute. Nothing would be able to slow him down, not even alchemy arrows.

The gold grand swordmaster was not a magic beast, but even his agility was not something that mages could hope to surpass. He could fly faster than most sorcerers and his burst of speed over short distances was something that even grade-9 sorcerers would not be able to match.

The only thing the gold grand swordmaster feared was a grade-9 sorcerer leaving behind a magic imprint on him then chasing for the kill. If a few grade-9 sorcerers were able to determine the gold grand swordmaster's location, after a long chase, the gold grand swordmaster's flying ability would not last as long as a sorcerer.

Saleen was not looking at the top of the city wall, but Nailisi and Sika were extremely anxious about it. Although Nailisi might be confident in defeating a death king, she could not give it her all and had to keep everything under her control. If the water puppet was not able to kill Banchajanna in one hit, then they were in trouble. The water puppet would not be able to strike first. He was a part of Saleen so if he struck first, it was equivalent to Saleen intentionally destroying the bond.

Even if the bond has weakened, there would still be punishment. No one knew what the consequences were if one struck first.

”Ka… ka…,” Banchajanna strange noises. He was no longer able to control the weapon in his hands and his speed had increased. He was jumping across the top of the city wall and wherever he went, there were no survivors.

The second battalion saw what was happening and an order was given. The low-ranked officers retreated and gave a signal and the soldiers behind them followed to retreat as well. Saleen never understood why Lex always focused on training her soldiers to understand and obey commands instead of training up their combat abilities. In actual fact, these soldiers needed to work well together in order to fully display their fighting abilities.

Individually, the mercenary soldiers' combat skills were not worse off than the soldiers of the second battalion, most of those that were injured or dead were mercenary soldiers. Once Banchajanna started wielding his weapon, no human could stand in his way.

Except for Sika.

”Stop!” Sika shouted from behind the water puppet. Her voice was so loud that even Nailisi felt pain in her ear drums.

Banchajanna turned around violently and looked down at Sika. The white bone giant axe in his left hand struck the ground violently. At the same time, within the soul flame in his eyes, the bond has broken completely.

Judikaka was a spirit of the dead and had long forgotten the feeling of being alive. Now, he felt it. It was as if an invisible heart was pumping violently in his chest and the feeling of fear returned after so many years.

Banchajanna was going to harm himself!

Things had reached a point of no return. Judikaka only shouted out loud once, ”Diyabannersa!”

Although Diyabannersa was a rough character, he was extremely sharp. Judikaka only had to call his name once and he had already taken out his scepter.

When Shanglan gave the three scepters to the Three Kings, it was for their own self-defense so that he would have more coolies following him. These scepters were valuable equipment and Shanglan did not have many others like them.

”Banchajanna!” Diyabannersa shouted at the same time, hoping that Banchajanna would take out his scepter too. Once the three scepters combined together, they would be able to overcome even the effects of going against the bond so that they could at least escape back to the death dimension.

Bang!

Sika's battle soul skeleton twisted its body and vanished. In the next moment, Sika appeared beside Diyabannersa. Banchajanna's giant axe created a crack that was more than a yard long and half a foot deep on the top of the city wall

The cudgel in Sika's hands landed heavily on Diyabannersa's wrist. Diyabannersa and Judikaka did not revert back to their original forms so they were only two yards in height. Sika was standing on the back of her skeleton and was of the same height as them. This hit cracked opened Diyabannersa's wrist.

”In the name of Shanglan!” Judikaka raised his scepter and wanted to activate the power within it. He never realized that Nailisi was not protecting Saleen and was charging towards him instead.

Banchajanna swung his axe at the water puppet.

Saleen was relieved. The Three Kings were so powerful that it made him terrified. In the death dimension they would have been able to cast magic at will, but on Myers Mainland combat abilities were still more important.

The combat abilities of a spirit of the dead could never be compared to a demon. Besides, Banchajanna did not listen to Diyabannersa to take out his scepter and attacked the water puppet head-on instead.

In a battle at this level, one mistake could be fatal.

The water puppet raised a finger. Both of them were less than ten yards apart, which was the range in which crystal finger would be the most effective. Since the water puppet was made up of water elements, his crystal finger was even more powerful than Saleen's. With this finger, a white hexagonal mark was created.

The temperature within the next ten yards dropped instantaneously. The Tanggulasi heavy-armored soldiers that had just climbed onto the top of the city wall immediately froze and fell back down, breaking into pieces.

Banchajanna only saw a beam of white light in front of his eyes and then this water element spell pierced right through his soul flame.
