1228 Elemental Frenzy Part 1 (1/2)
Its appearance was hardly weird, as there were many beings throughout the planes that had many heads and limbs.
It was an elemental creature as well, but at level 11. However, it was far easier for Saleen to deal with elemental creatures than it was to deal with level ten humans. Humans were capable of thought and crafting powerful equipment. Even level nine humans would be able to beat Saleen if he let his guard down.
Saleen pointed his finger after seeing the creature charge at him. Spells descended from the Magical Element Tower. It was hardly any different whether Saleen was inside or outside the tower, as he could command the demonic spirits just as well.
The level 11 elemental creature, which was covered green magic patterns, blasted over 20 level 11 spells before it was even near Saleen.
The attack was very aggressive, as it blocked all of Saleen's ways out, so much so that it was almost able to pin him where he stood. Saleen chuckled, as he was not fighting alone.
600 demonic spirits cast level nine spells in turns, dispersing the level 11 spells.
Saleen realized that having 600 demonic spirits attack at the same time was akin to him casting compound magic, the only difference being that he did not use his own magic chords. Only the tower would be able to streamline the 600 spells on top of each other.
Under his control, the compound magic spells cast were capable of resisting level 11 magic attacks.
The magic attacks cast by elemental creatures were many times more powerful than the ones cast by human mages.
Saleen was unable to instantly break the spells' weak parts and resorted to nullifying them with his own magic.
There was one major and two minor levels between level 11 and level nine. Saleen could cover up the difference using sheer numbers or his Thunder Dragon Blaster.
This time, he used the Elemental Order. The ring hovered behind Saleen. Elemental light was concealed in the ring and nothing was able to be seen from the ring itself, making it seem like a black hole was hovering behind Saleen.
Three sharp spears were thrust at Saleen's front and flanks—all of which were conjured by the elemental creature.
Water elemental spears were incredibly sharp on their own and came with powerful freezing effects. Saleen was all too familiar with the skill. While his own were level seven ,and the spears conjured by the elemental creature were level 11, their nature was hardly any different.
The greatest difference was targeting—Saleen was unable to run.
But he had no need to do so. He pointed upwards and 600 more spells gathered and formed a huge ice bomb. The ice bomb disappeared suddenly and shot out of the ring behind Saleen. His own body seemed to be a mere shadow, letting the ice bomb pass through him and clash with the incoming spears.
The power of water spells was the greatest at the bottom of the ten mile-deep lake. The ice bomb was over 30 meters wide after being amplified by Saleen's magic amplifier. It did not look like a level two magic spell at all.
That was also a compound magic spell: Comet Drop. True Comet Drops could only be conjured at level 12, but the spell was a mimicked product derived from 600 spells amplified by the magic amplifier.
While it was not a true Comet Drop, it was able to crush the three level 11 spells cast by the elemental creature. The huge ice bomb crashed into the creature's body.
Two triangular magic patterns crossed, forming a hexagram. It was a method employed by the enchanters, and the ones employed by mages were far more complicated. The hexagram trapped the level 11 elemental creature, petrifying it instantly.
Comet Drop was a combination between water and earth magic, just like Saleen's Comet Flash.
The simple magic array spun and extracted all of the water element from the petrified water elemental creature, reinforcing the earth magic array.
Saleen had no need to wait further. He took out a sealing scroll and sealed the water elemental creature within.
Sealing scrolls were precious, but Saleen had starline paper to spare. Gaine did not even bother thinking about it. Sealing scrolls made from starline paper were utterly incapable of misfire.
”Come out already!” Saleen shouted. His Thundering Shock stunned the creature inside the crevice, dispersing its preparations.
”Why have you come looking for trouble?” The water type element spirit finally asked.
”I don't want to, but my teacher needs you,” Saleen told it as it was.
”What if humans were enslaved by elemental creatures instead?” the water type element spirit asked.
”There are enslaved humans in the divine kingdoms. Do we need to talk about morals?” Saleen snickered. It was childish of the water type element spirit to try to sway him with flowery words.
The water type element spirit would probably kill any human who got close, just to protect the secret at the eye of the sea.
The water type element spirit was only concerned that he would bring humans of even greater power by asking such questions. He would have to make a move eventually. The water type element spirit would definitely not let Saleen escape even if he intended to.
Knowing how to sway one's enemy with words before duking it out meant that the water type element spirit was more difficult to deal with than expected. Saleen might have been affected by such words in his younger days, making him hesitate.
However, Saleen had been completely awakened by the methods employed by the grandmaster against him. Saleen now reserved mercy and pity to only the people around him.
