1197 Puppet Constellation Part 1 (1/2)

It was only after Saleen had released the dark cloud that he had discovered this enemy. Since they were concealed outside the battleground, they obviously did not harbor any good intentions. Saleen's Comet Flash and Crystal Finger both had extremely high levels of consumption. After killing the level 10 True Might, he escaped towards the Magical Element Tower.

In the lake water half a kilometer away, amidst the pitch-black shadows, Agares, seeing that Saleen had escaped back to the Magical Element Tower, did not act. He turned and left, instead.

Saleen was too wily. This time, he had acted extremely honestly, but Agares still would not go and chase after him.

The Magical Element Tower's attacks were terrifying. If he were really chased after him, he would be bombarded with magic spells. None of his equipment would withstand it.

After Saleen returned to the Magical Element Tower and turned around again to check, Agares had disappeared into the lake water.

It was him!

Saleen was able to identify the thread of aura that Agares had left behind. The assassin emperor had actually been unharmed inside his dark cloud. It was evident that he had an even more powerful piece of equipment that could temporarily resist the corrosive effect of the Six Elements' Heavy Water.

Saleen rejoiced. The dark cloud contained the Six Elements' Heavy Water, which forced Agares to use his equipment. Otherwise, he would have been unable to discover the presence of the powerful assassin.

He had advanced and strengthened his abilities. Agares had not fallen behind.

Saleen made the decision on the spot. He did not stop either. He allowed the Magical Element Tower to rush up to the surface of the lake and fly towards Metatrin City. Agares following his trail had two meanings. The first was that he wanted to hunt him down and kill him. The second was that he wanted to see if he could follow him to find new temples.

This time, he was extremely fast, so he had shaken off Agares. Next time, he might not necessarily have such good luck. Agares' sneaking skill was menacing. Among the people at level 10, perhaps only Jason would be able to discover him. However, he could not bring his teacher every time he went out. That would be too embarrassing.

Agares had not gone far either. He saw Saleen's Magical Element Tower fly into the distance from the lakeside. Only then did he reenter the lake water, retrieving the level 10 True Might's longsword that had been thrown aside. The longsword was a powerful piece of equipment. Assassins were able to use it as well.

After obtaining the longsword, Agares flew out of the surface of the water and headed for the mountains in the west. The level 10 True Might's 8,000 sword slaves were still there, and he wanted to take control of them. Saleen did not value such things, but Agares did. The sword slaves had been subdued by the True Might's skills, so they were merely a bunch of powerful slaves.

They were equivalent to 8,000 elite soldiers. Furthermore, most of them possessed magic armor. Thus, they did not even need equipment prepared.

Agares knew that it was difficult for him to kill Saleen for now. However, if he followed Saleen, there would always be benefits for the taking, such as the 8,000 sword slaves. If he had relied on his own efforts, he would first have to kill that dangerous True Might. He did not have anything of the same caliber as the Magical Element Tower, so he had not dared to make a move the whole time.

After Saleen had succeeded, he escaped far away, rushing back to Metatrin City. Glenn and his party had already sailed off. If they did not set sail, Metatrin harbor would be frozen over.

Saleen cleared up his train of thought and decided that he should go looking for the temples. Regarding the trade with the Devil's Horn, if the other party did not dispatch the battleships, he would not be able to locate his subordinates for the time being. Ultimately, he could not kill off the Devil's Horn. He needed to wait patiently; he could only retaliate once the other party made their move. Otherwise, the contract's restrictions were no laughing matter.

In order to understand that, Saleen went to the temple's top floor to look for his teacher.

Jason was in a very good mood. He had gone with Saleen to the Imperial City of the Abyss one time and had been able to obtain all of the required elemental creature materials to successfully refine the magic amplifier. Fortunately, his student was able to use Water Flame Alchemy and could help him. Otherwise, it would be way too difficult to handle.

Saleen retrieved two territorial crystals, placing them in front of Jason.

Jason was delighted. ”You actually managed to pull out your territory!”

It was the first time that Saleen had seen his teacher lose his composure. Normally, Jason was always calm even in the midst of an emergency. Even if lightning and thunder struck beside him, he still would not lose his composure.

Seeing Saleen's doubtful expression, Jason laughed. ”Saleen, since you were able to pull out your territory, your future prospects will be unlimited. There is also the possibility that you may surpass me. We mages from the same origin have not made ourselves known for far too long!”

”Teacher, I know that mages place great emphasis on inheritance. This matter, does it have a deeper level of meaning?” Saleen asked about the matter for the first time.

”It doesn't really have any deeper meaning. Mages too will die. Who on earth would ever wish for everything about themselves to disappear after they die? Mages can die, but magic should be passed down the generations forever. As for you, you are in fact considered to be my hope and my future.”

Jason spoke calmly, but Saleen was able to tell that he was restraining excitement.

Saleen said, ”I also feel this way. I feel extremely ashamed about Truman.”
