869 Giant City Part 2 (2/2)

Saleen finally saw a huge and tall tower after walking for twenty miles. Half of the tower had already collapsed and the ancient Myers words on the lintel had faded. Saleen observed carefully with his elemental eyes and just about managed to figure out what the Myers words said.

”Military depot…”

There were no other similar towers nearby. Although the tower might be huge, it was hard to estimate how many soldiers it could station, especially those elemental stone statue soldiers near the city wall, which were over one-hundred yards tall.

”Looks like this is the place!” Saleen deduced that the leader of the elemental stone statue soldiers should be in the military depot.

Saleen did not enter the military depot immediately. Instead, he walked one round around it, at a circumference of one-thousand yards. He could not see any labels of defense on the surrounding buildings. The place was twenty miles away from the city wall. If the leader of the stone statue soldiers was able to control them from there, then it must be a grade-10 creature.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Saleen turned around and headed back to the military depot. More than six hours had passed. He could use the spells on this devil armor again. Saleen took out his magic staff and a small magic scroll.

The magic scroll was obtained from the battle at Separation Sea. Back then, the grade-8 mage had wanted to unleash a grade-10 spell but was interrupted halfway. The scroll fell and Saleen managed to pick it up.

For a grade eight mage to be able to cast a grade-10 spell, the scroll had to be more valuable than a gigantic grade-9 magic nucleus. Saleen was willing to use it now because, as long as the leader of the stone statue soldiers was under his control, all the stone statue soldiers near the city wall would become his subordinates.

Saleen did not believe the armies of the Holy See would be able to repel hundreds of grade-9 stone statue soldiers that were one-hundred yards tall each. Using up a grade-10 scroll was nothing. The scroll was a one-off item anyway, but the elemental stone statue soldiers could be used over and over again.

Once he was well-prepared, Saleen returned to the military depot. He activated his water shield and swam to the second level of the military depot with a magic staff in hand. Although the military depot consisted only of two and a half levels, it was still more than two-hundred yards tall. Saleen felt helpless when faced with such gigantic buildings. He entered through a gap in the window and saw that the items on the second level of the tower had already decayed.

Only high-level magic materials would be able to fight against decay after tens of thousands of years under the sea. Saleen did not bother flipping through the items. He went over to the staircase and removed his water shield before activating his ice plate armor.

Grade-10 elemental creatures would be difficult for grade-9 mages to handle. Although human mages were stronger than elemental creatures, the difference in grade was not something to be overlooked.

Beneath the devil mask, Saleen could feel the skin on his face spasming. That was the first time he would be facing such a powerful being on his own. If he lost, then death would await him.

”Teacher, I will not back down!” Saleen thought encouragement to himself and walked down the stairs. Each step on the flight of stairs was more than two yards in height and Saleen almost had to leap over them. When he was halfway down, there was a rumbling sound coming from one of the rooms below. Saleen saw a gigantic weapon crashing towards him and behind the weapon was a pair of eyes that shone red.

A stone statue soldier that was only twenty yards tall was wielding a giant war hammer and pounced at Saleen. Its movements were so fast that it was comparable to a magic attack. If all warriors could move that fast, then mages would no longer hold any advantage over them.

Saleen cast Ice Attack and another grade-9 spell called Dismantle Element was also activated from the magic staff.

It was a very rare spell and ever since the Sregl Island mages had advanced to grade-9, only one of them had been able to cast that spell. The magic staff that the mage had given to Saleen stored four spells of Dismantle Element. Saleen could not bear to use them until that time, which just showed how precious the spells were.

Once a mage used the spell once, they would not be able to use it again for an entire month. The damage that the mage would sustain from the spell was almost as high as that of crystal finger.

Dismantle Element could dismantle an enemy's magic completely. When used against elemental creatures, there was a significant chance that the target would be dismantled or knocked out. If it was dismantled, the elemental creature could never be revived; if it was knocked out, the elemental creature would not be able to restore its combat abilities for a short period of time.

For a stone statue soldier of that grade, the grade-9 Dismantle Element would never be able to dismantle it, so Saleen decided to use it without too many concerns.

Six huge blocks of solid ice froze the stone statue soldier's war hammer. Saleen leapt down from the side of the staircase. The war hammer missed its target and smashed the staircase, which was already in bad shape, into pieces.

When a spell as mysterious as Dismantle Element struck the stone statue soldier, a green light shone on the surface of its body. The stone statue soldier stopped moving. As the light slowly dissipated, that was when the stone statue soldier descended and smashed its hammer at Saleen again.

The grade-9 spell was ineffective. The grade of the stone statue soldier had made it immune to the grade-9 spell.
