1153 Puppet World Part 1 (1/2)
A person with no desires could not possibly be destroyed.
Although Saleen had desires, in regard to the Myers Goddess' temples, all of Saleen desires had been fulfilled. His final wish was to destroy the temples to prevent others from gaining the fortune of the Goddess.
Destruction was always easier than construction, and Saleen only needed to destroy the teleportation portal to make a few temples disappear from the dimensional plane.
The Myers Goddess probably never imagined that the person to revive her would exert all their efforts to destroy all of her temples.
Saleen's thinking was simple. Even if the Goddess was revived in the future, he would still want to destroy the temples. Destroying them now would be easier. Furthermore, the temples left behind by the Myers Goddess were not necessarily left for him alone. There were at least four or more others who, because of a chance encounter with the temples, became strong in a short period of time, including Lex. Saleen did not believe that Lex had only obtained gold coins from the temples.
Lex's special physical constitution was probably acquired from the temples. Otherwise, if her physical constitution had been the same since she was young, no matter how much Safilos disliked her, he would have allowed Lex to be brought back to the Golden Plains.
The Golden Plains also did not want Lex, demonstrating that Lex's physical constitution was not good when she was young. Emperor Chanake also had no choice but to allow her to leave the imperial city.
The topography there was smooth. It was not possible to create any concealed traps as the area consisted entirely of flat plains. Thus, Agares also could not be blamed for using the most stupid method to deal with Saleen, which was to mix three assassins amongst ordinary soldiers.
Originally, wanting to differentiate the assassins from the rest would be impossible even for Saleen's Elemental Eye, however the attack from thousands of demonic spirits caused the three assassins to be exposed. If they wanted to continue to stay successfully hidden, they had to die with the soldiers to keep their identities hidden.
The most stupid method used by Agares would perhaps be able to deal with other people if a good opportunity arose. However, Saleen had used the most violent method to completely destroy his plan upfront.
Mages had a proverb, \”after the flames of magic have finished burning, fine gold and copper can be identified at a glance.\”
After finding the spatial pathway to the coordinates, Saleen compressed the Magical Element Tower. No matter what position the Magical Element Tower was in, Saleen was able to enter and leave it freely.
\”Sika, look outside. If there are any strong opponents, you don't need to hold back. Let the demonic spirits attack with full force, there is no need to save on magic nuclei…\” Saleen paused for a moment and laughed. \”We must let the enemies know we are very rich and can squash them to death with money.\”
Saleen was not boasting. With over 3,000 demonic spirits in the magical tower, borrowing power from the magic net, they would still have the capabilities of a level 7 sorcerer in the worst case. More than 3,000 demonic spirits were divided into three waves, taking turns to attack to maintain the length of their combat power. It could definitely surpass Saleen.
Saleen was able to hold off hundreds of level 7 sorcerers by himself, but if thousands attacked him at the same time, he would be unable to bear it.
The strengths of the Magical Elemental Tower were when more than 1,000 demonic spirits attacked at the same time, it could target attack in a very small area and would not result in elemental garbling. It was much safer and much more efficient than a magic cannon.
\”Saleen, if you won't let me follow you, you should at least let Nailisi go, right?\”
\”Sul will follow me. I feel that luck is on Sul's side!\” As Saleen spoke, he felt as if he had just opened a large gate. He had obtained what he needed, but his subordinates still had their needs. He was able to use the magical tower to directly locate the spatial pathway's coordinates due to luck.
If they did not make use of luck while it was this good, it would leave them.
It was the superposition theory of fortune mentioned by the astrologers. When someone rejected fate's favor, fate would thoroughly abandon them.
Saleen used the godly power within the Ring of Gifts to smoothly open the pathway to the temple, bringing Sul with him. Sul was very relaxed, learning from Saleen's attitude towards fate. He would just do his best without any fear.
\”Master, in the future, it is better if I stick to using dual longswords? I have achieved some understanding, though it is still not stable, but I have a set of secret techniques passed down through my family. If I cultivate for a bit, I will be able to run through the skills from the past. I really like these two swords, Master, I wish to continue using them.\”
\”Then keep it as a memento, I will follow the specifications of the two swords and refine some new equipment,\” Saleen said to Sul, and suddenly, a huge fist came bounding over.
Just a fist.
A lone fist came flying over, battering towards Saleen's face. Lightning shot out from Saleen's eyes, incinerating the fist. Saleen was clearly able to tell that it was merely a puppet's hand.
\”Master!\” Sul exclaimed at the leg flying out from the darkness, heading directly towards Saleen. With a cleave of his sword, the puppet leg was chopped into pieces and fell to the ground.
Swish!
This time, it was a puppet's armor, a part that was commonly seen during ancient times. Modern mages were unable to create good puppets, so armor had become rare goods.
Saleen treated it as a piece of scrap, raising his hand to envelop it in Water Flames and turning it into trash.
\”This mage is rather interesting!\”
\”After killing him shall we analyze him for a moment?\”
\”Mages are living creatures, after killing him, the research value would not be much!\”
\”But if he is alive, he will think of ways to analyze us!\”
\”Then isn't that very fair?\”
