1259 Totem Part 2 (1/2)

Saleen only inquired about affairs in Metatrin after giving Nailisi her orders. Theisio said that he would send the two level 12 oracles. Saleen had extreme confidence in his teacher, but he would not dare say that Jason would be able to kill the two level 12 oracles.

”Someone attacked the temple and coincidentally, I happened to finish making this totem pole. I fended off the attack with my teacher, and the damage was small. Several hundred demons and over 30 Caucasians dead,” Sika answered nonchalantly.

”What about the assailant then?”

”They just left, and then I came here to take care of your problem,” Sika answered.

Saleen thought about it for a bit. Theisio had probably lost control of the oracles after he had fallen. If the oracles regained their freedom, there would be no way that they would throw their lives away fighting Metatrin City.

The two oracles left and were not killed by Jason, which was a reasonable outcome. Saleen thought about it for a bit and felt that things were not good for him. Having succumbed to Theisio's control probably meant that they had thoughts about betraying the Lord of Glory.

The next logical step after the oracles regained their freedom was to gain control of the Holy See with a perfect excuse.

With the three godly items unavailable, there was no equipment capable of restraining them. They would be able to do as they pleased with the people of the Holy See.

The two oracles were far more brutal than Theisio had ever been. If they united the entire Holy See under their rule, there was no doubt that the Holy See would be a much greater disaster.

Even if his teacher advanced, he would only be able to get to level 11. Leaving the Metatrin City's temple to look for trouble with the oracles would be dangerous.

If Saleen were unable to get to Glorious Plains and get rid of them, the Holy See would grow strong again when the two oracles latched onto an empire.

Sika was unable to help but asked, seeing Saleen steeped in deep thought. Saleen voiced his thoughts and Sika replied, ”We'll wait for Lex to emerge and ask her what she thinks. I won't be the one to handle this. While this totem pole is powerful, it won't last for long, unless I advance to level 13.

Saleen figured that what she said made sense, so he just stood guard at the entrance instead of going in to look for Lex. Lex was bringing the people from the Holy Rock City into the energy barrier. Saleen was doing it as a precaution.

If any of the sorcerers from Holy Rock City had any funny thoughts, he would be able to cover for her.

The wealth in the cemetery of the giant was enticing, and Saleen was afraid that some of his allies would become treacherous.

After over a dozen days, Nailisi was done extracting the remains of the three godly items from the Origin Stone of Darkness. The stone had no will of its own and did not know how powerful her collection of the purgatories were.

The 12 Notes of First Purgatory were interconnected. In their eventual forms, every single purgatory would be affected by the other 11.

The Origin Stone of Darkness was thrown into the collection of purgatories and quickly suppressed by the powers of the few purgatories. All of that, coupled with the catalyzing effects of the Genesis Stock Solution, the stone was melded into a part of the 12 Notes of First Purgatory.

The rules of darkness were incapable of surpassing the rules in the 12 Notes of First Purgatory after all.

Saleen spent the days refining his Thunder Dragon Blaster, gradually wearing down the barrier between the divine persona and the weapon. It was learned from observing the Origin Stone of Darkness. Saleen used bits of electrical power to grind the layer of rule power on the surface of the divine persona.

Saleen was getting rather frustrated and anxious when Lex emerged from the energy barrier, heading for the exit of the cemetery of the giant.

Saleen saw Lex from afar and Lex was all smiles, obviously very happy.

Saleen invoked his territory. Lex was able to sense it from over 60 miles away. The mages behind her also sensed Saleen's territorial power.

Lex and Gusion knew Saleen's aura very well, and the smiles on their faces were increasingly obvious. The mages of the Holy Rock City were startled. The power of the territory was very peculiar.

Saleen held himself back and refrained from causing them any pressure, but the mages felt their mental powers and magic chords being slowly drained.

Even though there were no attacks, energy tended to disperse in Saleen's territory.

Neither mental powers nor magic chords could escape getting worn down. The rate that their powers were being worn was not fast, but in battle, it would be glaringly obvious.

”You've finally grown, Saleen!” Lex was very excited. If Saleen had been unable to create his own unique territory, his future prospects would be limited due to the nature of his magic chords.

The territory was so unique that the power of rules that Saleen would be able to master in the future would not be any weaker than other mages.

If he was unable to master such a unique territorial power, Saleen, due to relying only on one type of elemental magic chords, would grow very weak compared to others, and would be be left in the dust by other mages.

Lex was able to see Saleen from over ten miles away. Even level ten mages were not able to see that far without using skills. Lex was able to see him due to the powers of the God's Ring. She saw Sika as well.

Why is Sika here? Did something happen to Metatrin City?

Lex was unable to help but take to the air with her mages and warriors, heading towards Saleen.
