978 Divine Baby Part 2 (1/2)

The girl's eyes turned from transparent to green, making her face look more and more like the Goddess of Myers' face. Saleen observed these changes and silently went to unleash all of the elemental creatures in the badges before distributing them throughout all of the floors of the magic tower.

Level 12, eh? Putting all of the Midnight Fangs on the line and risking many deaths, including the leader's, should be sufficient cause to make her stop, at least momentarily. If things go further south, there will still be the family badge... Saleen had a cold smirk on his face as he thought of these things.

That girl still thought that he had no way of dealing with her. If he had not been eyeing the energies that were coursing through her body, he would not have dragged things out so long with her.

Time went by slowly, one second after another, and Saleen wished that a miniature magic cannon would emerge from the teleportation portal soon. There were nearly 500 level nine believers that were gathering beside the girl, which symbolized the presence of a very large-scale power. However, without help from that Divine Baby, those believers would returned to being mere monsters!

The hands on the magic clock turned so slowly, Saleen was even able to hear the tiny metallic friction sounds created by the alchemy machinery…

Clack, clack, clack.

At that moment, an incredibly bright magic light emerged from the teleportation portal. Lex had activated the magic array at Royal Harbor. For the sake of safety, all of the magic nuclei that Lex had used were level nines, which enabled the magic array to be extremely stable.

As the miniature magic cannon emerged from the teleportation portal, Nailisi rushed up to it, and after the magic light grew weaker, Nailisi cradled the cannon in her arms. After the supporting struts of the cannon had been taken apart, the cannon was only a little more than three meters in length.

Nailisi saw that there was a level nine magic nucleus that had been installed at end of the cannon. After she saw it, she made a snap decision and removed the level nine magic nucleus, replacing it with a level 12 one that Saleen had acquired from the Imperial City of the Abyss.

Only then was the cannon able to unleash its full power. Saleen initially did not have access to any magic nuclei above level nine, so all of the ones that he used for experiments were level eights.

Nailisi knew very well that, should he have had access to greater powered nuclei, Saleen would definitely have not been reluctant to these materials against a foe of such power! After all, he was willing to pay any price to kill that Divine Baby!

Energy coursed through the magic patterns of the miniature magic cannon as soon as the level 12 magic nucleus was installed. A pale light shone throughout the entire cannon.

Upon seeing the magic patterns that were flowing on the body of the cannon, Saleen was elated. He thought... So, this thing only works at its fullest power, when level 12 magic nuclei are installed! If the power source used was comprised of levels that were too low, not even shards of dragon crystals would have been able to activate it.

”Vinny!” Saleen called the leader of the Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers, then let Nailisi hand the cannon over to the leader.

All of the elemental creatures within the magic tower were currently in their elemental core forms, which meant that they all were just a little over 2 meters tall. Thus, as Vinny cradled the miniature magic cannon, it looked somewhat ridiculous.

”You see that altar?” Saleen transmitted a question to Vinny. As the two shared senses, they were able to communicate wordlessly. Also, Vinny's soul was under Saleen's control, and this kind of Sensory Sharing was a much more efficient means of communication, as it put less strain on one's mental powers.

”I see it...” Vinny transmitted the thought back to Saleen.

”Shoot her with that cannon nonstop!” Saleen wordlessly commanded.

”Understood, master,” Saleen wordlessly responded.

Vinny thought for a moment before coming before the front of the wall. Saleen then controlled the Magical Element Tower and caused one of its windows to open. However, Saleen did not dare to let Vinny go out of the window.

Vinny's lower body gradually turned soft, like mud, before it eventually took on the shape of a turret. However, his upper body remained like that of a humanoid. Vinny then took ahold of the miniature magic cannon at his side, activating the magic array on it.

At that moment, seven level 12 magic nuclei provided massive amounts of power to the cannon. Saleen even felt the entire Magical Element Tower shake due to its intense power! A blinding light shot through the window soon after that, then headed straight toward the distant altar.
