995 Diamond Cut Diamond Part 1 (1/2)
Nailisi dived into the purgatory of demons. The Skeleton King was not able to hold on for long in the lava. Nailisi siphoned large amounts of lava into the purgatory of demons along the way. Demons loved the smell of lava, while the rules within the purgatory of demons were complete, the place had an area of about thirty-six square miles and was six miles wide. No volcanoes could be manifested in such places.
The lava siphoned into the purgatory would eventually cool and hardened regardless, but it was able to increase the thickness to the place, as well as bring about the air of the earth's fire, giving birth to a more diverse environment.
Nailisi was simply doing it on a whim. She immediately returned to her imp form after entering the purgatory of demons, to avoid getting attacked by the demons inside. one-hundred-thousand demons were having the time of their lives within the purgatory. The space mimicked the demon plane, and there were large number of magic bugs found within, making it easy to get fed.
After siphoning the lava, Nailisi turned around and found several snakes emerged from the molten hot rocks, writhing about on the ground. As the lava cooled, the snakes gradually petrified, becoming statues.
”That place was the lair of the great fire snakes!” Nailisi was at loss, not knowing if she was supposed to be happy or worried about finding that.
Great fire snakes were powerful fire elemental creatures. While their powers were nowhere near that of fire type elemental spirits, they were not something Nailisi would have picked on in the lava. Regardless, such types of fire elemental creatures would have made a good addition to the purgatory of elements to complete the collection of purgatories. The little snakes were all things spat out by great fire snakes, which were capable of developing intelligence and becoming fire elemental creatures.
However, the smaller snakes were simply too weak to last long outside of the lava.
Nailisi was happy of the fact that if she was able to capture great fire snakes, her elemental spaces could be made three, even four times more powerful. What worried her was, if a great fire snake was able to break through the purgatory it was housed in and enter the purgatory of demons, the rules within would prove inadequate to kill it, and she would have to rely on Gray Memory.
Regardless of how powerful the Sword of Rules was, it was still a close combat weapon, and the space tens of yards around a great fire snake was easily filled with searing heat. Most of Nailisi's tricks would not have proven to be much of use in such situations. While she had some ideas it, she dared not open up the collection of purgatories and look outside.
Van Gogh chased Nailisi to a dead end. His Lance of Order went breaking the rocks that were getting in the way and was going about it at reduced speed. He lost track of her when he came to the lake of lava. He eyed the lake of lava that hardly had an area of one-hundred square yards and thought it was all so peculiar. ”Did the demon end up jumping into the lava That demon was but a grade-9 being, so how long would she be able to last in lava? Half a day? Or just two to three hours?”
Van Gogh was puzzled about how Nailisi went about it. He lifted his hand and drew a circle before him. The white circle gradually expanded, reaching a diameter of five yards, and a heavenly angel emerged.
Summoning a second heavenly angel proved to be his limit. Van Gogh pointed at the lake of lava without wasting time saying much. The heavenly angel held on to the Sword of Glory and jumped into the lake without hesitation.
The heavenly angels themselves were constructs of holy light and the power of faith. The temperature of the lava did little to harm beings like that. That particular being's level allowed it to easily withstand high temperatures of several thousand degrees.
Nailisi did not cause much of a commotion when she jumped into the lake of lava, as she dived into the Twelve Notes of Purgatory almost at the very same time. When the heavenly angel jumped into it, the small puddle of lava boiled immediately. Hundreds of giant pillars of flame spouted from the lake and lashed out at the heavenly angel.
Van Gogh stepped back from the lake, as the high temperatures burned to him. It was fortunate for him that the level of his armor was high enough. So long as he stayed clear of the lava, he would not end up dying from the heat itself. The spouted lava splashed all over the cave, being blocked by Van Gogh's Lance of Order. The lance formed a triangle in the air with its chains, isolating him from his environment.
Hundreds of flashes were seen from the Sword of Glory, cutting up all the huge fire snakes emerging from the lava. The fire snakes dropped into the lava as they writhed about, before combining and lashing out at the heavenly angel again.
Seeing how lightspeed skills proved incapable of killing the elemental creatures, he had no choice but to order the heavenly angel to switch skills. The Sword of Glory split, and twelve giant holy prose emerged, wrapping up the sword in the heavenly angel's hand. The heavenly angel slowed down with its swings. Every slash emanated powerful beams of light.
The cut up fire snakes dropped into the lava one after another but were unable to congeal again. The Sword of Glory was buffed with a rule of the gods—Holy light Cutting.
Boom!
Two ten yard thick snake heads emerged from within the lake. Both heads had three eyes respectively. The head on the left opened its big mouth and spat purple flames, while the one on the right did the same but spat out black poisonous smoke.
The flames hit the heavenly angel, which ended up burning it. The smoke quickly encased the heavenly being. The heavenly angel swung its sword around, cutting both flames and smoke to pieces, and dissipating them with the holy light.
The flames that jumped about on the angel's body were yet to be extinguished. Pockmarked holes appeared on its body shining with divine light. The smoke that encased it seeped into its body through the holes, before making it out through its nose.
