1148 Water Element Territory Part 2 (1/2)
\”Don't make me laugh!\” Saleen looked at the holy light from the tower. The Thunder Dragon Blaster on his arm was prepped for retaliation.
He had originally needed to open the window of the tower to cast the spell, but with the completion of the tower's crafting, Saleen's lightning icicles were able to phase through the elementite and clashed with the incoming holy light, nullifying it.
\”Huh?\” The oracle had intended to take to the air to pursue them, but seeing how the four icicles had broken his Divine Wrath spell, he stopped immediately. The enemy's power was not all that great, but the lightning that coursed about the icicles reminded the oracle of something.
Something from the depths of his memory welled up and the oracle's face calmed.
Isn't the God of Thunder dead already? As I recall, his divine persona was shattered and his divine fire was completely snuffed. Even his body was made into equipment by humans and every single believer in his divine kingdom is dead.
There are no more than three humans capable of manipulating lightning, and there had not been any lineages left!
He definitely did not inherit the lineages of the three. His power is too weak, and the rules are different. He can't be a believer of the God of Thunder. Who the hell is this guy?
Was a gap in the gods' memories, leaving some powerful ones unaccounted for?
There was that possibility. There were many powerful humans on the Myers Mainland plane who did not participate in the conquest of planes, just like how some gods chose to hide. The lineages of humans were not recorded in the gods' memories.
The oracle's hesitation bought the tower some time, enabling it to fly far away. He would still be able to catch up to it if he wanted to, but there was no certainty that he would be able to trap the tower. The tower developed territorial power,s and there was no way he would be able to break it.
If he wanted to suppress it, he would have to use his full power, preventing him from leaving.
He was unwilling to go that far. Staying back to cage a tower and fight a mage would mean that the other oracle would take advantage of things.
The oracle chuckled, as he had an idea. Saleen would have to leave the tower sooner or later. There would still be a chance to kill him. The target was tricky, so it was better to let the other oracle take on the mage.
He, on the other hand, was going to dive into the pool and look at the secrets beneath.
The crystal ring behind the oracle's back spun once and the stones that the angels became flew back into the ring and were absorbed. None of the angels were revived.
The oracle took a deep breath, sated. It was a pity that the ring was only able to summon that many angels every month, making him feel hungry for more.
However, even if he were able to summon more, he would not dare do it. There was a limit to how many angels could be spent in the Lord of Glory's divine kingdom.
Eating too much would attract the Lord of Glory's attention. His own brethren were probably summoning angels in secret and eating them. The total number of angels eaten was best to remain below 300 every month.
Saleen's tower flew for several hundred miles. He looked at the magic map and took the tower southeast. He arrived at a city six hours later.
He looked down at the city. It was a small town, with an area of less than 200 square miles and a population in the tens of thousands. However, the town looked busy. There was a river passing by that was not very narrow. There were merchant ships on the river.
Saleen dropped the tower outside the city. \”We'll wait here and see if people from the Holy See come for us. If they don't come, we'll go for the next target.\”
Saleen was rather uneasy. The powerful one from the Holy See had cost him four lightning icicles with just one nonchalant attack. It was obvious that he was beyond level ten. Skills cast by level ten professionals would cost him only one lightning icicle to nullify.
He would be lucky if he was not coming for him. If that person had indeed pursued him, he would have to leave the Cloudflow Empire.
Agares would leak his whereabouts to the Holy See, enabling that person to come after Saleen.
No one dared to get close to the tower that dropped out of nowhere. The nobles in the city had no idea what had happened. The tower was over 200 meters tall, was covered in a layer of cloudy mist, and looked like a small mountain.
The city's nobles did not even dare to send someone to look into the tower.
It was an honor to have mages visit a city. However, no one had said anything about a mage bringing a tower and dropping right outside their turf.
While Saleen waited, the oracle had already dove several miles into the pool. He saw the exceedingly cold layer of water in the final 20 meters or so. The oracle was overjoyed and shouted, \”The Six Elements' Heavy Water!\”
The Six Elements' Heavy Water was good stuff and would never appear on divine kingdoms, as only the planes with living beings had it.
Regardless of how many divine kingdoms the Lord of Glory possessed, he would not be able to find any. The Six Elements' Heavy Water was very useful to the gods, as it could serve as material for further training.
