1075 Sealing the Hole Part 1 (1/2)

Thunderous rumble reverberated inside Saleen's head. The Thunder Dragon Blaster in his hand felt as if it were a part of his body. Six near-transparent icicles shot out. The electricity on the icicles no longer jumped, but stayed fixed onto the ice like magic patterns.

It was because the icicles fired too quickly, zipping through the air, straight past the gap between the sorcerers and penetrating the rock cliff behind them.

The six icicles stuck to the rock and blue light sparkled before shooting out streaks of electricity, connecting them together. The connected flow of electricity turned into a purple electrical net in no time.

The fossilized gods pursuing from behind ran straight into the electrical net and got cut into pieces, falling. It was only then that the sorcerers realized that Saleen was covering the rear. The sorcerers felt rather embarrassed, but little did they know that Saleen did not mind killing them to stop the enemy.

The sorcerers refused to become his followers and made themselves a part of Kingdom of Metatrin.

The beast was large, and it was fortunate that the diameter of the cave easily exceeded 30 meters. There were parasitic puppets emerging along the way, clearing the path of any obstacles.

The six huge icicles continued releasing electricity. The attack had Saleen cranked all of the powers to the maximum. Lightning rules, energy balance rules, and the bit of rules of fate that he had been able to catch a glimpse of.

The 30 meter-wide electrical net lasted for one whole minute before dissipating entirely. The six icicles still emanated coldness. Any fossilized gods that passed through the field of cold slowed by at least 50 percent.

The beast had ran for several miles within a minute.

Sika left magic marks when she followed Saleen and found the exit of the statue of the giant: the huge ear they came in through.

Saleen thought that the outside of Daliang City was still probably be considered part of the cemetery, which meant that there was no problem for the fossilized gods to make it outside. The problem was how to seal the ear.

Saleen went outside the hole of the ear and said to Sika, ”Go up and get more magic fire shells.”

”What else do you need?”

”A magic cannon!” Saleen shouted and jumped down for the beast. Gusion followed Saleen, jumping down with the Dragon Slaughtering War Flag in his hand and feeling rather anxious.

It was an exciting experience like no other. Despite having been a mercenary for decades, he had never experienced something like that. When the hundreds of thousands of statues came alive, the scene finally had Gusion understand what Saleen had said to him a long time ago.

What you experienced before is hardly worth mentioning. If you want to reach greater heights, then come with me. I guarantee you that your view of the world would be opened a hundred times wider.

It was apparent that Saleen did not lie to him. His view was opened far more than just a hundred times. That short battle had the instincts in his body achieving unimaginable breakthroughs.

The human body had a weird, mystical structure to it. When one had reached a certain level, it would have been almost impossible to advance any further without stress of comparable levels.

It worked all the same with mages. Every danger faced during advancement was an ordeal that one had to overcome.

Saleen glanced at the sorcerers and put his Tempest Dragonmights away, summoning 12 Vermillion Knights instead. The grand mages stood behind the sorcerers with ashen faces, which had them feeling rather awkward. The sorcerers then berated them, ”What are you waiting for? Seal the hole!”

Sealing of the hole was easier said than done. Seeing Sika riding the beast and going up to the city, Saleen felt rather relieved. She had always had a calming effect on him.

He summoned 24 Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers, who were ordered to put their hammers away. Saleen took out huge pieces of steel and handed them to the Stone Statue Soldiers, to have them dig and fill the hole up.

Only the Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers were capable of labor like that. The steel that Saleen took out was used for making towers.

The towers used for setting up magic nets were required to be planted deep into the earth and be connected to magic power furnaces. The crafting of the steel was difficult, and every piece was over a hundred meters long.

That steel was used as shovels, digging up dirt and covering up the cave.

The mages finally had something to do. They cast Fossilization at the dirt thrown into the cave, rendering it stiff to seal the hole. The 24 Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers threw dirt more than 10 meters into the hole of the ear until all of the dirt was finally fossilized. With the exception of the 12 level nine sorcerers, all of the mages who tagged along practically emptied their magic chords.

Saleen unleashed 12 Tempest Dragonmights and sent the grand mages and thoroughly exhausted warriors back to the city above. He then distributed magic nuclei to the 12 level nine sorcerers, allowing them to replenish their magic chords.

”Your highness, we can't hold them in for long!” the sorcerer who was taking the lead reminded. His tone became earnest as he acknowledged Saleen.

Saleen knew that a wall of merely a dozen meters thick would not be able to hold the fossilized gods in for long. The fossilized dirt was less than sturdy, and considerably weaker than the natural rocks around them.

For powerful beings at level eight or nine, it was just a matter of time before they dug their way out of the rocks.

”Can we keep Daliang City safe without sealing the place?” Saleen's expression was a serious one. He had lost the use of his most powerful attack given that he had already used up his family badge before.

The Thunder Dragon Blaster would be operational in a bit, but even the blaster's power would have proved inadequate for sealing up the cave.
