912 Magic-countering Constellation Part 1 (2/2)

”No worries.” Saleen took out the figure's head and began to sew up the wound with the Star Gathering Needle.

A sliver of the power of constellation flowed out from the tail end of the Needle and the wound on the figure's head healed very quickly. That amount of power was almost negligible relative to the power contained within the Star Gathering Needle. Saleen estimated that if the power contained within the Needle was completely unleashed, it would be able to eliminate all targets, just like his clan badge.

After Saleen had repaired the figure's head, he used the tip of the Star Gathering Needle to pierce where its eyes were supposed to be. As the power of constellation flowed out, a pair of clear and distinct black eyeballs merged together.

The figure's head had been replenished by mental strength, and it suddenly spoke, ”Master would like all of you to wait for a while. He will be here shortly. Don't…”

Saleen threw the figure's head onto the floor before summoning six elemental stone statue soldiers to smash it with their gigantic magic war hammers. A figure, who could not stop nagging, was terrifying. It just could not be shut up.

Nailisi began to laugh. It had been a long time since Saleen did something so childish.

Saleen raised his hand and looked at the Devil Ring on his finger. Saleen felt extremely uncomfortable that his current devil suit was refined by the Grandmaster.

When Saleen's mental strength seeped into the Devil Ring, he saw tens of thousands of paths of magic patterns. There were plenty of magic arrays on such a small ring and was comparable to some of the bigger equipment. It was not necessary at all since the magic arrays in the spatial equipment were usually not so complex.

Fortunately, Saleen's mental strength roamed around within the Star Gathering Needle and had advanced. He would not have discovered those complex magic patterns if his mental strength had not been made more resilient by the thundering sound. The Grandmaster must have refined such a mysterious item so that he could use it to control Saleen in the future.

The space within the Devil Ring was huge so it would be natural for Saleen to store all the most important items there. If the Grandmaster managed to control the Devil Ring, he would have been able to snatch away all of Saleen's wealth whenever he wanted.

Saleen decided to cast water flame to try and refine this Devil Ring once again. He threw the Star Gathering Needle into the water flame as well. The Needle silently penetrated the Devil Ring and erased the mysterious magic patterns one by one. Once the magic patterns that had been put in place by the Grandmaster had been removed, Saleen began to refine his own magic patterns within the Devil Ring.

What he was refining were lightning magic patterns. The spatial equipment would either be controlled by mental strength or soul. This lightning magic pattern was capable of causing a lot of damage to mental strength and soul. After refining the Devil Ring, even though the Grandmaster was many grades higher than Saleen, the former would not be able to regain control over this Ring with only his mental strength or soul.

The Star Gathering Needle erased the magic patterns quite thoroughly. Saleen could not help but laugh. The Grandmaster was narrow-minded yet was of a higher grade than Saleen. The latter was worried that the former might have tinkered with his equipment. Now that the Star Gathering Needle could completely remove the trap placed in the Devil Ring and Saleen was able to put in place his own lightning magic pattern, the Grandmaster would not be able to trap him in the future.

It was while removing those magic patterns that Saleen realized just how powerful and annoying the Grandmaster was. Even with the close inspection of mental strength, the magic patterns only appeared to be barely significant and visible. It was as if they were part of the natural grooves of the materials used to make the Devil Ring. The original form of the magic patterns revealed themselves to be rows and rows of three-dimensional magic patterns wherever the Star Gathering Needle passed though. Each row of magic patterns could be further split into thousands of finer magic patterns.

If not for the fact that the Star Gathering Needle was of a sufficiently high grade, the magic patterns could not have been removed so thoroughly.

”Damn it. Just a Devil Ring alone already required so much effort. What about the other equipment?” Saleen recalled that his elemental magic tower was personally refined by the Grandmaster. His despise for the Grandmaster deepened.

Perhaps only the magic books had not been tinkered with.

Saleen's devil suit included this ring and two layers of magic robes. The inner layer was figure-hugging and shape-shifting while the outer layer served as an armor. The devil mask, devil staff, and belt were all very similar to Saleen's original equipment. Saleen would have to remove the magic traps embedded in the equipment one by one.

The more Saleen thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to take off the entire devil suit and threw everything into the water flame. Refining equipment all over again was something that he had done quite a few times and he had thought that it would be a breeze. Without the help of the Star Gathering Needle, the other equipment remained motionless in the water flame, showing no signs of change.

The difference in grade between Saleen and the Grandmaster was too huge. Without the help of the Needle, there was no way his water flame could refine and remove the magic patterns left behind by the Grandmaster.

Saleen could not help but imagine what it would be like if he was to face off against the Grandmaster. Even if there was only a shred of soul left in the Grandmaster, as long as he activated the power of the magic patterns in Saleen's equipment, the Grandmaster would be able to gain control of Saleen and everything that belonged to him would be taken away!

The Star Gathering Needle was really a blessing! Saleen could not wait to get a hold of the Grandmaster so that his elemental stone statue soldiers could smash him into elemental dust with their huge hammers.
