892 Time Difference in the Abyss Part 1 (2/2)

Two soul towers were floating within the winged skeleton's black and white soul flames. An empty soul tower could contain more than a million souls. The quality of a soul tower like that way surpassed Nicholas' soul beads.

The winged skeleton's soul flames no longer relied on the soul towers, but he had absorbed the essence of the soul towers, so once they were apart from his soul flames, the towers would break apart.

In death magic, there were many ways to deal with souls. Since the winged skeleton had risen to the grade of a Spirit King, he was finally able to make sense of many mysteries. The two soul towers would be imprisoning many souls in the future.

In the death dimension, the strong preyed on the weak. There were no restrictions of all sorts of rules like those found on main dimensions, but this was also the reason why the death dimension was never able to become a powerful dimension. Even when the Myers Mainland weakened, the human death mages were still able to summon spirits of the dead to carry out their bidding.

In that era, mages no longer dared to summon demons anymore. This further proved how seriously weakened the death dimension had become.

The secrets that the winged skeleton was gradually getting in touch with were all ancient lineages passed down from spirits of the dead that were of the level of Spirit Kings. He began to plan carefully for his future.

The Angel of Fear's entire body was full of treasures, but the winged skeleton was only interested in the bone marrow. Other than the things that were rejected by the golden heart, which he would leave behind for Saleen, he used most of the bone marrow to strengthen his soul flames. With the addition of the bone marrow, the winged skeleton's soul flames could exist outside of his body. That meant that his soul flames would be unharmed the next time he decided to self-explode.

That was the advantage that only spirits had. For humans, they must reach at least grade-14 in order for their souls to be unharmed despite their physical bodies being damaged.

Saleen calmly watched the vermillion knight lead his men over from afar. Even the grade-12 Angel of Fear was unable to break through the divine tree magic tower immediately, so the grade-10 vermillion knights should fare even worse. Besides, Saleen still had his blue ice maidens. In that environment, blue ice maidens were definitely more powerful than vermillion knights.

Saleen realized that his close brushes with danger had made him more confident and fearless when facing grade-10 creatures. He was able to make quick judgements that would secure him victory.

The human mind was truly terrifying. Once it became powerful, even Gods had to find ways to suppress them.

As Saleen observed the vermillion knights, he suddenly noticed something amiss. He realized that the vermillion knights were not moving at a constant speed. In battles, powerful warriors tended to change their speeds very often, sometimes even multiple times in one second. The vermillion knights were only heading towards the magic tree divine tower. There was no need to change their speeds in that case.

The vermillion knights were clearly not as fast as blue ice maidens and elemental stone statue soldiers. Saleen had never noticed that issue before. He only noticed it because his attention was focused on the vermillion knights making their way over.

Saleen suddenly realized that he was in the Imperial City of the Abyss, where the gravitational force varied over different places. That was not obvious to him, as he was a mage. The gravitational force there was massive, yet it did not cause any physical damage. Although Saleen was a mage with a water-elemental body, it should still not be so effortless!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

What would be affected by such a powerful gravitational force?

Time! It was time! Time passed at a different rate in the Imperial City of the Abyss compared to the outside world. As long as the gravitational forces were different, time would pass at a different speed between two places, even if they were very close together in terms of distance.

Saleen took out the magic clock and saw the hands of the clock spinning wildly. The magic nucleus had already been used up long ago.

Saleen had no idea if time passed more slowly or quickly compared to the outside world. If it was slower, then by the time he left the place, the Metatrin City might be gone. He might have already lost his kingdom, his wife, and his children…

At that thought, Saleen began to sweat all over.

He could give up anything except for Sika, Lex, and his two children. Besides, he had a thousand-year bond with the Goddess of Myers. If the time there passed so slowly that a thousand years had already passed in the outside world, he would be punished the moment he left.

By then, even if his wife and children were fine, he would still be doomed.

The Imperial City of the Abyss was horrid!

Saleen decided that he would head out to meet the vermillion knights head-on. He would have to postpone his plans for the Imperial City of the Abyss. If the time there passed more quickly relative to the outside world, then he could still afford to stay for a while more. If it was the other way around, then he must return home immediately.
