897 Midnight Fang Part 2 (2/2)

Jinn began to spin around the divine tree magic tower. His movements were unpredictable, and his speed was astounding. Saleen had never seen any creature that was able to fly with such incredible agility and speed.

As a grade-8 mage with the help of the magic tower, Saleen had no problem locking on to grade-9 professionals or creatures. Against a grad-10 professional moving with such agility, Saleen was helpless. After all, the divine tree magic tower had to be refined completely. Flare looked at Saleen and wondered how his Master would solve that problem.

Saleen was troubled as well. Although he was unable to lock on to Jinn, he was able to predict his movements so if necessary, he would still be able to shoot down this arrogant fellow with his badge. On the other hand, crystal finger would not suffice because its duration was a frame of time and it would only hit the enemy after locking on to him.

”Master, let me go.” Nailisi twitched the long lance in her hands. She already found Jinn very annoying. If possible, she would eat his soul and Master could find another one. In any case, there were so many dark-element creatures there. It would not be difficult finding a second one that possessed a soul.

The most powerful spell that Saleen could cast was definitely Endless Night, but since it was a dark-element spell, it would help the Midnight Fang instead of trapping him.

Although light-element spells might not cause serious damage to Jinn, Saleen had no choice but to unleash the spell stored in his magic staff in such an environment. Unleashing such a spell would not produce much resonance of elements, so it would be impossible to extract elements from such an environment to boost the power of the spell. A spell like that could only sustain for a short while and the damage it could cause was also the lowest of the grade.

Saleen had less than three of such light-element spells in his magic staff. There was no way he could subdue Jinn with those three spells.

Saleen raised his shriveled left hand and stretched it in front of him. His mind never stopped thinking.

Both inside and outside of the magic tower, mage and elemental creatures were both trying to figure out the weakness of their opponents.

When Nailisi saw no reaction from Saleen, she was furious and leveled her long lance and faked a jab at Jinn. Saleen could not be bothered with her. Flare was taken aback by what he saw. The fake jab from Nailisi actually landed accurately on one of the points of Jinn's movements.

In other words, Nailisi had managed to lock on to Jinn.

Flare only managed to confirm that Nailisi could have hit Jinn after Jinn had passed by. Based on Flare's own estimation, he would not have been able to predict Jinn's movements.

”Master, why don't you let Nailisi give it a try?” Flare asked. It was just an experiment anyway. There was no harm if Nailisi died and there was a possibility of subduing Jinn too. Jinn would never surrender if Saleen failed in his attack.

”Nailisi can only hurt him but conversely, she can be killed by him. Flare, don't bring up something like that next time.”

Although Nailisi felt a little rebellious, she was admittedly terrified of the half-sword that Jinn wielded. Jinn was powerful in his own right, but he also possessed a magic weapon that Nailisi could not comprehend. There were 24 symbols on both sides of this half-sword and each symbol looked like powerful souls surfacing on the body of the sword.

Nailisi's long lance might be able to injure Jinn badly, or even crush his elemental core, but the moment that half-sword touched her, she was as good as dead.

”Nailisi?”

”Yes, master?”

”Do what you did just now and fake a jab at him!” Saleen had also discovered what Nailisi did. While he was troubled over not being able to lock on to Jinn, Nailisi was able to pinpoint him effortlessly.

Nailisi did not fully understand what was going on but since there was nothing much she could do, she used her long lance to jab at a few points. All of them landed accurately on the points in which Jinn had stopped.

Saleen laughed out loud and said, ”Nailisi, I have an idea!”
