897 Midnight Fang Part 2 (1/2)

”I got this weapon from a Duke's castle. I only found it after wandering for 150,000 years. It was because of this weapon that I managed to become the leader of the Midnight Fangs and possess my own soul. Saleen, my attacks will not be subjected to any limitations of energy and even if we are not in the Imperial City of Abyss, I will still be able to unleash power like this. Please…”

With that, Jinn's body turned into black smoke and he floated in the waters, slowly spreading out into a mass of black fog. The half-sword he wielded had also vanished.

Saleen's elemental eyes lost sight of the half-sword as well but they were still locked on the leader of the Midnight Fangs. By right, they were two grades apart, so Saleen should not have been able to see through Jinn's ability to conceal. It was due to Saleen's grade-9 elemental eyes that he could just barely see amidst the black fog that Jinn had not disintegrated. Instead, Jinn had come to the 17th level of the divine tree magic tower, with the half-sword in his hands. He was constantly adjusting the angle of the half-sword.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Saleen could see that each time Jinn adjusted the half-sword's angle, he pointed at the points of weakness of the magic tower. Nevertheless, Jinn did not launch any attacks. It was as if he knew that even if he found the weaknesses, there was nothing much he could do about it.

Compared to the Angel of Fear, the speed at which Jinn was able to discover the magic tower's weaknesses was frighteningly fast. At that rate, Jinn would be able to find the biggest weakness of the magic tower in less than a day. Such a level of intelligence was definitely much higher than the Angel of Fear's.

Saleen was not going to allow Jinn to carry on what he was doing. He unleashed the grade-9 Icy Light Spear spell.

Saleen cast the spell using a magic staff. When the Icy Light Spear was cast from the magic tower, it also pierced directly into Jinn because of how close the he was.

Jinn was scared out of his wits. He twisted his body and barely managed to dodge the ice spear. The spear stopped in mid-air and exploded into a bright light instantaneously. It was a spell that was a combination of water and light elements, which was very effective against dark-element creatures.

If this ice spear had induced a light-element attack in Jinn's body, he would be badly injured, even if he was one grade higher than the grade of the attack. Nevertheless, Jinn's combat abilities had been honed from many fights and battles against other high-level elemental creatures in the past, hence he was able to react quickly and dodge the attack. As his body was made up of elements, he was able to twist his body at an impossible angle in order to dodge the ice spear.

The ice spear disintegrated and exploded in a powerful light-element attack. A layer of the armor that Jinn was wearing immediately melted way. The rest of the Midnight Fangs that were standing far away quickly raised their half-swords and blocked the front. The Icy Light Spear was boosted by the divine tree magic tower and its second wave of attack turned into a group attack. As the light elements shot down, the half-swords wielded by the 144 Midnight Fangs disintegrated cleanly.

More than 100 grade-9 creatures lost their weapons and armors from the grade-9 magic attack. All the Midnight Fangs hurriedly retreated back into the black crystal tower.

In order to create a dramatic effect, Jinn had made all his subordinates waste 90 percent of their powers in order to kill 144 of Saleen's elemental creatures. Even his own defense was decreased to the lowest point. It was precisely because of all those factors that Saleen decided to attack the Midnight Fangs with Icy Light Spear so that he could teach them a lesson.

There was a warm glow of light in Flare's purple eyes. He began to develop admiration after seeing how Saleen counter-attacked. A single grade-9 spell was able to leave a grade-10 elemental creature hapless and injure more than 100 powerful subordinates. The Midnight Fangs were so badly injured that they had to retreat back into the black crystal tower.

Jinn was in combat mode, so he was not going to be distracted by healing his subordinates. The Midnight Fangs had no choice but to self-heal. The speed at which they could self-heal was the same as ordinary grade-9 elemental creatures so they would not be able to return to the battlefield anytime soon.

Clear judgement, accurate use of techniques, and strong grasp of opportunities had all allowed a grade-8 mage to make full use of the magic tower's power to defeat a grade-10 elemental creature leader. Flare was very satisfied. If Saleen advanced again, he would become a legitimate Master and would be qualified to lead the elemental creatures into battle.

As a fire-element creature, Flare loved combat, but as his powers were suppressed in the Imperial City of Abyss, he had no chance of winning against dark-element creatures. That was why he immediately led his subordinates to investigate the moment he discovered the presence of a human. Then, he chose to submit to Saleen once he realized that the latter was powerful enough to kill the former. This was his plan all along. He did not care what kind of person Saleen was as long as Flare was able to leave that damned and quiet city to see the light again and feel the power of fire elements everywhere.

In order to help Saleen become more powerful and not die so easily, Flare even took the initiative to help Saleen look for the other elemental badges. The number of elemental creatures that had developed souls in such an environment was few and far between, especially creatures of light and wind elements. The leaders of the elemental creatures of those two elements might be in deep sleep, but once they found a suitable environment, they would be able to restore very quickly.

The leader of the Midnight Fans was the only troublesome one. Flare knew that that leader was more powerful than all the other leaders combined. Not only did Jinn possess intelligence, he also possessed a powerful weapon. His attacks were so powerful that some of the elemental creatures that had possessed souls were also killed by him. Flare did not think that Saleen would win, but neither did he think he would lose, since the latter possessed the divine tree magic tower.

Instead, it turned out that Saleen only needed to use a grade nine spell to put Jinn in such a hapless state.

Jinn waved his half-sword and all the darkness elements gathered to repair his armor. The black fog that surrounded him ballooned into such a huge mass that it was able to cover the entire divine tree magic tower.

The dark elements began to attack every level of the magic tower. By doing so, Jinn had sped up the rate at which he could determine the magic tower's weaknesses by 100 times.
