1194 Barging into the Temple Alone Part 2 (2/2)

His own son was nothing special, but he was still a silver grand swordmaster.

There were an archer, mages, and an assassin protecting his son. With such a combination, even if they had encountered a golden grand swordmaster, they would be able to gain the upper hand. The scroll that he had left to the mages should also have been able to protect his son and allow him to escape from a large majority of dangers.

Who was it? Could it be that they were targeting him?

Saleen did not know that his territory he had set in place had a level 10 person's son. Furthermore, their capabilities were much greater than Jola's.

A True Might's boundary, once mature, was able to oppose a territory.

Saleen passed through the spatial pathway and journeyed forward. The pathway was unusually narrow, as it could only allow accommodate three people. It was also exceptionally long. The space seemed to be underground. Apart from earth elements, Saleen felt that the other five types of elements were sparse.

Fortunately Saleen had learned Jalin's movement skill and had created the Comet Flash. In places rich in earth element, Saleen was even more swift.

He had advanced for more than 50 kilometers, but there was still no end to the pathway. Saleen picked up speed, treating it as practice for his skills. Saleen's speed shot up to 150 kilometers per hour in a split second. To be able to reach this type of speed when running on the ground, Saleen needed to have a firm grasp of the Water Shield spell. Otherwise, he would have been flattened after hitting into a wall.

After running consecutively for six hours, Saleen was still unable to exit the pathway.

Saleen understood that he had entered an illusion. Or perhaps it was a maze.

It had been six hours, and he had covered close to 1,000 kilometers. What pathway could possibly be that long? Spatial pathways were just like magic patterns. Depending on the length, the energy required to maintain them was huge. Thus, most magic arrays had fixed specifications and were divided into large, medium, and small. The length of magic patterns were fixed to allow mages to save a large amount of their time and resources.

In order to calculate a new scale of length for magic patterns and all of the necessary symbols complementary to it, a large amount of a mage's time would be consumed for each small change.

Maintaining a spatial pathway was the same. Typically, the energy consumption was most economical if the pathway was 600 meters to one kilometer. Maintaining low levels of consumption for anything longer or shorter required a significant amount of time to arrange the formulae and recalculate every minor detail.

Even the ancient humans were unwilling to do it. Of course, the Myers Goddess would not, because her spatial pathways needed to be maintained of tens of thousands of years. Although they were sealed, requiring her to open them herself, a special length would cause the loss of energy to be especially severe. There could even be a possibility that she would have no way to reopen the pathway.

Saleen began to chant a lightning rune. Thunder rumbled and the pathway became broader. In the pitch-black darkness, a large number of forked pathways appeared. It was no longer the lone pathway that had been before him.

Saleen's Elemental Eye able to tell that, amongst the large number of split paths, only one would lead to the temple. He had walked 1,000 kilometers, but he had just been going back and forth at the entrance.

Saleen adjusted his bearings. There was no pressure in using his Elemental Eye to dissect the details of the maze. The Figaro Magic Formula analyzed it completely. Saleen reduced his speed to about 15 kilometers an hour. At last, he found the correct path to enter the temple.

Of course, the best method for anyone who wished to enter the temple was to use the Ring of Gifts and the Goddess' power of faith or godly power. However, Saleen did not wish to. Godly power was convenient, but using it too much would cause a reliance.

Saleen ignored the numerous splits in the pathway. He walked to the end of the pathway, which was a broad exit. Outside the exit were floating white clouds. Amidst the clouds were 24 tall and majestic temples.

Saleen was indescribably delighted. Although there weren't any Sky City's fragments, the white clouds were formed from solidified essence of water element. The temples were built on a huge piece of essence of the elements.

Equipment that was refined with water element essence could accommodate the equipment of the 24 temples.

The Magical Element Tower was sturdy and durable, but when taking flight, its attack was too monotonous. The demonic spirits and magic nets could not be used. The Magical Element Tower was only a formidable attack power when it was floating and had changed its form.

To Saleen, the Magical Element Tower's only benefit was that it was difficult to destroy. Any level 16 professional would have to consume a large amount of time and mental power to breach it successfully.

If he was able to collect the clouds, it would be sufficient to carry 100,000 soldiers in the air.

Saleen thought for a moment and created a wind dragon that rushed towards the white clouds. When the level 8 wind dragon entered the white cloud, it immediately dissipated, as if it were dust.

”As expected, it won't be easy. Thankfully, I am a body of water element!” Saleen had already decided that the white cloud was his.
