1293 Unrestrained Robbery Part 2 (1/2)
This was a grade-11 Dissolution Spell that was originally meant for mages to deal with a powerful True Might at close range. Saleen throwing it at the peak of the warehouse was purely wasteful.
However, without a grade-11 magic spell, this warehouse would really be difficult to open up. Saleen did not have the time to go and analyze this magic lock. Alchemy City's magic locks would definitely be grade-11. If they were to calculate things by the book, Saleen alone would still have to spend a few hours on it. A few hours' time would probably be sufficient for Alchemy City to summon even a grade-13 creature.
Alchemy City was not like the forces of some small nobility. There were more than 10,000 mages here. In Alchemy City, those below grade-4 were not considered mages, and only those who surpassed grade 4 would be honored with that title.
The actual number of mages in Alchemy City was estimated to be between 800,000 to 1,000,000.
With such a large number of mages, the talents amidst them would not be small in number either. Under these circumstances where the city was about to be destroyed, it was very normal for any strange and unusual skills to be demonstrated.
Saleen did not come for a fight to the death. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos within Alchemy City to snatch away the items that he needed.
What was the best item in Alchemy City? It was the ancient relic.
Saleen's gains from searching the temples himself were undoubtedly plentiful, but the items left behind by the Four Great Dynasties would indeed be the greatest spoils. Apart from the Tanggulasi Kingdom, because of the Holy See's control most people, no matter if they knew that there was an ancient relic, would not go and excavate it.
Selling such information to Alchemy City would be able to fetch a decent price. Alchemy City would then organize their forces to go and relocate the entire ancient monument.
Hence, within Alchemy City's warehouse, only such an item would be able to attract Saleen.
His Floating City was still incomplete. If he were able to find other fragments of Sky City, even if everything else was given to the Grand Duke, it would not matter.
The grade-11 Dissolution Spell dissolved the peak of the magic warehouse up to a depth of about 8 meters. No matter how sturdy the magic material was, it had no way to resist Saleen's corrosion because of how ancient it was.
If Alchemy City had elementite, perhaps this result would not have arisen either.
The powerful Dissolution Spell stopped its work. Saleen saw that the peak of the warehouse still had its mezzanine. Within the mezzanine, there was a layer of magic array drawn with wrought gold. This caused the grade-11 Dissolution spell to lose its function as well.
This type of magic array was connected to the earth's power and was rich in the earth element. Even Sika would not be able to use the metal totem pole to smash it.
Above Saleen's Thunder Dragon Blaster, a silver-colored ball of lightning immediately flew out and sunk into the magic array. The points of the magic array were invaded by Saleen's ball of lightning and melted away in an instant.
This was not just the power of high temperatures, but also the suppression of rules.
The one who had drawn this magic array was a grade-10 mage trainer. They possessed territorial power and had used exceptionally high-grade magic materials, yet the magic array could not defend against Saleen's ball of lightning. After Saleen had found the elemental points, he could easily destroy this magic array.
Another grade-11 Dissolution spell was used. This time, the magic warehouse's peak was smoothly dissolved.
The thickness of the whole warehouse peak exceeded 20 meters. It had been entirely refined with magic materials. The mezzanine in the middle was able to nullify even a grade-13 magic attack and resist it three times at least.
All of these preparations had been completely disintegrated in front of the Lightning Rules.
Saleen leaped into a gigantic warehouse. The warehouse was divided into three floors. The items placed inside were mostly magic materials. There were no complete pieces of equipment. There were also crates and crates of magic nuclei, which were all labeled with their grades, sizes, purity, and the creatures they originated from, as well as their hunting time.
Saleen summoned the lightning puppets to help him collect everything within the three floors of this large warehouse. Then, he used the fastest method to move all of them to the bottom floor of the warehouse.
At the bottom floor, Saleen directly used the lightning icicles to pierce a hole that was 100 meters deep into the ground. Then he sent the second silver-colored ball of lightning into it.
After the ball of lightning had entered, it quickly disintegrated the mezzanine the lightning icicle had not been able to pierce. Below the mezzanine, there was still another one.
Yet Saleen did not know that these actions of his had already caused the Elemental Hand to feel frightened.
Although the warehouse did not have any defenses, even a grade-10 mage trainer would not be able to invade it. Such warehouses were numerous in Alchemy City and were all shared by the Elemental Hand. The nine great mages did not trust one another. An item of the highest grade such as this could not be concealed within one's personal space; hence, it had been arranged within the warehouse whose defenses were strong enough to make one feel anxious.
Now the warehouse's upper floor had been pierced open. This did not matter as the upper floor was originally a disguise. However, if the lower floor of the warehouse were pierced open any further, the precious item would be lost.
They were not afraid of losing this item. They were not able to achieve any results when analyzing this item either. It was just that the material was of much too high a grade and was itself valuable enough to be stored and saved up. What the Elemental Hand was frightened about was this consideration: what kind of person would be able to swiftly pierce through the mezzanine of the warehouse and directly enter its bottom part?
Saleen continued to throw down Dissolution Spell scrolls to corrode through the remaining defensive layer and then jumped down.
