889 Squeezed Dry Part 2 (1/2)

Jason knew his student's weakness very well. If a mage did not have the courage to face obstacles alone, then it would be difficult to become a sorcerer, much less reach grade-9.

Beyond grade-9 was the mage trainer. Jason had never spoken to Saleen about that before, but the number of mage trainers on the Myers Mainland would never be more than 10. Such knowledge regarding grades had never been made known.

Every mage trainer must be strong mentally so that they could face any challenge. They had to have no fear, even if death was imminent.

Joey might have said that he would flee, but that was a decision made out of his own assessment of the situation, and not because he was trying to avoid the same enemy. When Saleen encountered the Angel of Fear, his first thought was to escape as well. The difference in their grades was the main reason.

When Saleen was unable to escape, he did not give up and did not hide in the divine tree magic tower without thinking of solutions. Even when the winged skeleton was in danger, Saleen managed to make his decision instantaneously.

He decided to fight. When faced with a powerful opponent, he would use all ways and means to keep fighting.

Nailisi was in her devil-form and was peeling off the skin of the Angel of Fear. There was only a small cut within the hair on the entire body. The wound was still trying to heal itself, so Saleen decided to throw the Angel of Fear's skin into his water flame and refine it on the spot.

Within the broken jade, the Angel of Fear's soul howled along with her linked soul but did not attack Saleen in any way. Saleen even continued to provoke them verbally.

”What is fear? It is something you feel when you are facing danger, but there is nothing you can do about it, and not when you are about to die. There is nothing scary about death. It will pass very quickly. I will punish the two of you slowly. This is only the first step. By the time your physical body has no more value, that's when I will start to deal with your souls. My advice is that you should slowly get used to it. The day will come very soon.”

Saleen touched the leather bag on his waist, which contained the winged skeleton's golden heart. The winged skeleton's soul flame had not been extinguished yet but Saleen could sense that he was extremely weak. Most of the power of a spirit was gathered in its soul flames, but once the physical body has been destroyed, the spirit would be in a very fragile state as well. Saleen had no idea how to remodel a body.

He was not a death mage, so he had no idea if winged skull's body could heal. If the heart was all that was left, Saleen had no idea how to accept that fact.

Saleen had gotten Soldier from Daniel as an attempt to take advantage of the latter. After getting the winged skeleton, Saleen began to develop feelings for him until he saw the winged skeleton as a friend. Saleen knew that the winged skeleton's loyalty was not because of him as a person, but because of the many days they had spent together.

He had never treated the winged skeleton as cannon fodder, nor ever deserted him. He had always believed in the principle of a mage and treated the winged skeleton as his partner. That time around, the winged skeleton rushed all the way here because he believed Saleen was in danger. Such loyalty could hardly be found between creatures that possessed intelligence.

As a mage, Saleen knew too well what loyalty was about. Loyalty was an exchange of things with equal values. Ultimately, the target of your loyalty could only be rules.

The winged skeleton's feelings towards Saleen had already gone beyond the rule of equivalent exchange.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”The two of you can slowly enjoy it…” With that, Saleen threw the broken jade into another leather bag. His bag, which was made from a purple-gold sea urchin, was meant to be distributed to his subordinates for their own use. Since the broken jade had been put in, the souls would still be able to sense Saleen's actions. That was because the purple-gold sea urchin bag was not an independent space from an interdimensional space and there were no protective features.

After Nailisi has peeled off the Angel of Fear's skin, what was left was a bloody mess on the ground. Nailisi dug out the Angel of Fear's eyes and fed them to her long lance. All six eyes on the lance opened at the same time. Both of the Angel of Fear's eyes instantly melted into fluid and were absorbed directly by the six eyes.

Nailisi sensed an invisible power gathering within her long lance, but something seemed to be lacking. She patted the body of the long lance, which made a whimpering sound.

”Alright, next time when I find something suitable, I will definitely feed it to you,” Nailisi consoled her weapon. The weapon was about to develop a Weapon's Spirit!

It was not surprising for the Twelve Notes of Purgatory to develop a Weapon's Spirit. After all, she had thrown in many high-quality materials and it was a very mature weapon in the first place. Nailisi merely repaired it a little after advancing.

By right, Saleen's divine tree magic tower should have been able to develop a Weapon's Spirit most easily, but its grade was too high, and it had not been completely refined. There were still some ways to go before the spirit could be developed.
