1187 Elemental Envoy Part 1 (1/2)

”Yeah, teacher...” Saleen felt rather embarrassed. The way Jason put it made it sound like he was some kind of upstart. Jason relied on his own power and took down a level 11 Vermillion Knight cleanly without using any equipment. Saleen, on the other hand, relied on the powerful Thunder Dragon Blaster.

The power of the Thunder Dragon Blaster had already been tested in the astrology tower. Level 13 defense was practically useless against the equipment, and the Vermillion Knights were only level 11 beings.

Elemental creatures were not humans and did not possess any powerful equipment. They relied solely on their own elemental powers to fight.

”To mages, their own equipment constitutes a part of their own power, Saleen. There's no need to feel bad about this. Among the gear you own, I like the Thunder Dragon Blaster the most, despite it being inferior to the Magical Element Tower. I've looked into Hogina's Gun as well, and while you might have borrowed ideas from her, you've created something else entirely different altogether. That was your own power.”

”Right,” Saleen answered and felt a lot better about himself.

The fire type element spirit barged around in the tower for the second time and found itself incapable of breaking the walls of the tower. It began to look into other means of escape.

Every single floor of the Magical Element Tower was equipped with teleportation portals. In Saleen's case, he was able to reach anywhere within without having to activate the portals. The entire Magical Element Tower had became the most important arsenal in Saleen's possession.

The passage from the second floor leading to the third floor was not destroyed. However, breaking it required intense brute force. There was no way it could use that teleportation portal without Saleen's permission.

The fire type element spirit shrunk itself from a height of over three meters to a figure of less than half a foot tall. The armor and equipment that it had on its person were also shrunk.

The equipment was controlled by its elemental powers. The way humans saw it, the fire type element spirit was a weapon spirit for the equipment.

Controlling the equipment in such a way that it ended up even controlling itself, was probably something that can only be done by a natural born being like the fire type element spirit.

It was capable of such a feat due to having no guidance from anyone and had only played around with its powers guided solely inherent ancient memories.

Even humans would be reluctant of doing such a thing. Gods possessed divine personas and so long as said divine persona survived, no god would make themselves into weapon spirits.

The fire type element spirit was apparently a clueless newbie in terms of training. It looked for ways of manipulating any powerful equipment from the fragments of memories of the ancient past.

The ancient memories would only be whole if it was already level 15 when it was born. The memories would otherwise exist only in very fragmented pieces.

Without holistic ways of training, the fire type element spirit had turned itself into a weapon spirit to control the dragons and the fiery chariot. The warflags and even that nameless black whip were all places where it stored its soul.

While doing so would enhance the power of its weapons to the max, but the danger within was also very apparent. If the equipment were taken by others and crafted, it would lose its freedom and be made a slave.

It was something that was simple reasoning and common knowledge among human mages, but the fire type element spirit knew nothing of that.

The fire type element spirit wielded the long black whip like a spear when breaking from the second floor to reach the third floor. It pierced the crevice between spaces and made it up violently.

Jason had been waiting for that to happen. When the fire type element spirit reached the third floor, the teleportation magic pattern was completely destroyed. If it wanted to leave, it would need to wait until Saleen and others crafted magic patterns for the tower.

A huge net fell onto it. The fire type element spirit shot a white fiery breath, intending to melt the net. However, not even Saleen's Water Flame was capable of dismantling the net. There was no way a level 13 fire type element spirit would be able to destroy it.

The net quickly trapped the fire type element spirit and contracted. It was surprised and quickly expanded its body. However, it remained incapable of breaking the net even after expanding to over 30 meters tall.

Jason laughed and sealed the third floor off, wiping all the magic patterns clean. Under the workings of the mechanical core of the Sky City, the third floor of the Magical Element Tower became a truly sealed off space.

In doing so, the second and fourth floor of the tower ceased to run. However, Saleen was indifferent. The fire type element spirit was thoroughly trapped. They would open the third floor when he and his teacher found ways to get around the problem.

The fire type element spirit howled. It was unable to fathom how was it possible for it to be captured when the enemy was not even all that powerful.

”I'll subjugate it when I have time, some time near advancement to level 11.” Jason said and left the Magical Element Tower with Saleen.

The Magical Element Tower was at the mouth of the volcano, but the volcano was unlike any normal volcanoes. Its inner walls were laid with fire elemental crystals. The crystals were not something from Myers Mainland, but something excavated from other planes, put there specifically for nurturing a fire type element spirit.

The fire type element spirit had been very slow at absorbing the crystals, which was why it had taken so many underlings to search for magic nuclei and fire element from the ley lines. If it had been born at level 15, it would be able to simply eat the crystals to sustain itself.

”Saleen, we'll take everything here.”
