1297 Each Takes What is Needed Part 2 (1/2)
Grand Duke Iron Blood's rainbow giant dragon was not willing to enter the cave, so Grand Duke Iron Blood could only stand guard outside.
Inbosa controlled the 12 Iron Blood warriors and followed to enter the warehouse. Saleen looked around. The people close to him were not around. He summoned a star figure to follow him. Only then did he leap into the cave.
The first floor was entirely filled with piles of space boxes. Inbosa saw that Saleen had followed him. ”Each person will take half.”
”Alright, each person will take half.” Saleen summoned hundreds of lightning puppets.
Inbosa saw the lightning puppets and felt envious. Iron Blood warriors jumped into the cave. The Iron Blood warriors helped Inbosa move the space boxes that had been placed far away, and Inbosa used his spatial equipment to collect them. The benefits of the space boxes were immense. The space boxes without a compressed space could be placed in a piece of spatial equipment.
The space boxes had all been piled together. The Iron Blood warriors and lightning puppets did not interfere with one another. With a line in the middle as the divider, they gathered the space boxes for Saleen and Inbosa.
Inbosa spread open the third Dissolution Spell scroll, dissolving the ground halfway, and poured in a bottle of metallic poison. Saleen saw all of it and engraved the method into his memory.
Of course, it was not just the pouring of a poisonous liquid. Inbosa still had to control it to corrode the magic array on the mezzanine.
No matter how tough the magic array was, it was still just a lifeless object. The metallic poison did not have any energy waves, and it was extremely easy for it to penetrate the layer of energy of the protective magic array. As for the magic patterns refined onto the base, they were sturdy but could not bear the toxins that had been extracted.
The metallic poison was originally meant for etching out magic arrays. Mages had to be very careful. If they lost the slightest bit of control, they would have corroded too much of the valuable materials, causing the entire magic array to be ruined.
Inbosa had not thought of that beforehand; the plan had been devised at the last minute. That was what Saleen admired. When he encountered a magic array for which strong attacks were ineffective, he would use even stronger methods. Inbosa used indirect methods to resolve the issue from the root.
The magic array had mostly been formed by metallic poison corrosion. After encountering an even purer metallic poison, it resisted for an extremely short period of time before being destroyed.
The magic arrays even had a self-restoring function, but Inbosa took advantage of the split-second when the magic array was corroded to use the Dissolution Spell to completely destroy the magic array. The method was extremely intricate and could not be conceived by an average mage at the last minute.
Inbosa had just taken it as Saleen testing him. He assumed that Saleen could not bear to extract the metallic poison, so he had only given him the Dissolution Spell scroll. He did not know that Saleen had relied purely on brute force to destroy the magic array.
Inbosa did not at all feel that Saleen's ball of lightning could penetrate this type of magic array, let alone destroy it. The ball of lightning did not look anything 'lightning'. It seemed to be a type of high-energy magic ball.
Inbosa allowed two Iron Blood warriors to go down first, and followed behind, following the cave path to enter the warehouse one floor below.
They had just entered the warehouse and a puppet rushed in front of Inbosa. The puppet had six legs and three arms. It brandished three iron whips, intending to whip Inbosa into pieces.
The two Iron Blood warriors that Inbosa had dispatched to come along with him had already collapsed and were not getting up. Inbosa did not panic and effortlessly moved to one side. He also had six legs and a long metal tail.
Compared to the puppet, he was more like a monster.
Saleen caught up. The puppet was unable to distinguish who its foes were. As long as it was a moving target, it would attack. Inbosa had hidden and immediately entered a state of still quiet, so Saleen became the target of attack.
The three iron whips formed a triangle and swung towards Saleen. Saleen had come down first, but his descent had been very quick and he easily avoided the three whips' pincer attack. The star figures also jumped down. In the star figures' hands was the equipment that Saleen specialized in refining - the magic epee.
The sword was two and a half meters long and weighed 180 kilograms. Its surface was covered with magic patterns. One side of the sword was a serrated blade, and the other side was curved.
A level 9 magic nucleus was mounted within the epee's magic array and could emit level 9 magic power.
However, Saleen had only added a level 9 Sharpening spell to the epee. The star figures did not need elemental magic spells and could release long range attacks all the same.
”Inbosa!” Saleen saw that his star figures had forced back the puppet with a stroke of the sword, yet Inbosa still had not acted. He was angry. It was paramount that they make the most of their time to share in the spoils.
