1145 True Oracle Part 1 (1/2)
While level ten sorcerers were not actually the highest beings in their plane, not even the oracles of the Holy See were confident enough to say that they would be able to take out the sorcerers with one hit.
Saleen's Comet Flash brought him right before the sorcerer. He cast the Crystal Finger, and the sorcerer's head exploded.
The level ten sorcerer's body dropped to the ground, and the level nine sorcerers dispersed like flies, running for their lives. Saleen killed two level ten professionals using solely his strongest attacks and powerful equipment. Saleen had never been so explosively powerful.
The use of the Crystal Finger drained half of Saleen's magic chords. The recoil was mostly absorbed by the equipment he had. The constitution of a level ten sorcerer enabled him to recover quickly.
\”No one is leaving alive!\” Saleen cast three more spells from his Starline Robe. The sky seemed to freeze over. It was a level 11 magic spell—Deep Blue Barrier.
Five powerful level nine sorcerers were killed instantly by stacked level 11 spells. They cast spells and invoked the powers of their equipment but were unable to escape Saleen's wrath.
A thick layer of frost formed on the ground, and the surviving warriors were all frozen to death. The canyon turned white, and the temperature dropped below the tolerance of living beings.
Saleen's body stayed in the air for a while before casting Quickcloud. The spell was quickly frozen. The mist froze into snowflakes and Saleen had to forcefully invoke the power of elemental conversion, enabling the snowflakes to burn. He then dove to the ground.
Boom!
Without help from Quickcloud, Saleen landed like a warrior and suffered intense pain all over his body. While his constitution equaled a grand swordmaster, he lacked the protection of sword aura, sustaining himself using only weak magic powers.
The Figure of Fate had to absorb the shock to prevent him from being injured.
The remaining level ten sorcerer saw everything happening on the plains outside the canyon, and felt as if his eyeballs were on the verge of popping out of their sockets. He cast Wind Travel without hesitation and headed straight for the woods in the mountain.
He did not dare to fly, as it would attract too much attention and he might be killed by Saleen.
Due to having run in a panic, he dared not even recall his fire dragon. The fire dragon continued to coil around the tower and breathe fire element powers.
The sorcerer had been frightened to the point of losing all sense of reasoning. Two professionals of his level and five level nine sorcerers died without being able to fight back. He forgot that he had a magic amplifier, which would make his powers equal at least three level ten sorcerers.
Saleen, on the other hand, strained his body beyond its limits due to using such powerful skills consecutively, which meant that he would not be able to use such terrifying attacks anymore.
However, Saleen was in no mood of pursuing the sorcerer. Nailisi's body dropped to the ground and all three of her heads rolled elsewhere. Saleen dropped beside Nailisi and felt helpless.
The Water Fox emerged inside the canyon and stood before Nailisi's body. She had the image of the Goddess of Myers. Her clothes billowed, and she looked stunning. The clothing on her body was constructed from water element as well.
The Water Fox looked at the dead body. \”Your Highness, what price would you be willing to pay to resurrect this demon?\”
\”What do you mean?\”
\”I know that you have a grand plan, and I need to put a lot of energy into the plan. However, if I saved this demon, my powers would drop by two whole levels and become a level ten elemental creature. If I remain at level 12, your plan can be carried smoothly.\”
\”Save her!\” Saleen answered without hesitation. He was in no mind to talk about plans of any kind at the moment.
\”Will do. It seems like you value your people, Your Highness,\” the Water Fox said plainly, learning something about Saleen. She might actually be able to acquire her freedom if she followed Saleen.
As to whether she was to treat Nailisi, that depended on Saleen's wishes. She was unable to go against his orders.
Saleen realized the key to the problem when he looked around. Nailisi held the line, worried that someone would destroy the teleportation portal. If the portal were destroyed, there would be a possibility that he would no longer be able to return to Myers Mainland.
Even if he were able to survive, it would be totally pointless. His wives and his two children were still on Myers Mainland. If he were unable to return, he would be as good as dead to them.
A portal was difficult to destroy, but the same could not be said about a teleportation portal.
\”Right, here, take this.\” Saleen took out a bunch of notes, handing them to the Water Fox. \”These are some notes regarding nature divine spells. You possess divine powers, so maybe they'd be useful to you.\”
