1321 Abomination Puppet Part 1 (2/2)

That was something already tested. The level of the abominations was in proportion to their magic resistance abilities. Level eight magic would have been of limited use against level nine abominations, and they would only cause lethal damage when hitting vital areas.

The level nine abominations were organized like a true army. All of them wore something resembling magic armor. Although the armor was incapable of defending against level-eight magic spells, it possessed abilities of dynamic armor. When the power of magic spells exceeded the armor's ability to absorb damage, scale-like structures were expelled from the armor that would explode to resist magic attacks. By doing so, level-eight power spells became incapable of wrecking their armor.

While level eight and level nine magic spells were only one level apart, level nine ones came to possess some territorial powers. They were no longer spells that dynamic armor could defend against.

Saleen retreated and put the purple puppet away. He came to a conclusion. While the power of the puppet had reached level nine, it had inferior equipment compared to the star figure. Being a new life form meant that it had yet to get used to the puppet's body, which prevented it from bringing its original level of power.

Star figures, on the other hand, were combat weapons of astrologers. They were near that of golden grand swordmasters in terms of combat prowess. Despite also being level nine, golden grand swordmasters represented the pinnacle of level nine.

Saleen brought out another miniaturized magic power furnace, but he did not embed the furnace into a puppet. He cast Water Flame and added some magic materials, re-forging the furnace. The external parts of the furnace were covered by Water Flame. Countless runes seeped into it, forming a large Eternal Control Shard.

Eternal Control Shards were products Saleen reverse-engineered from studying the three pieces of broken jade. After continuous modifications and development, he was able to control any living being lower than his own level. The three pieces of broken jade, on the other hand, ignored levels altogether.

Saleen not only added eternal control rules that he developed onto the furnace, he also included a secret art from another crystal wall system. Squared runes were added to the furnace. It gradually shrunk, becoming equipment that was less than a foot tall.

The six vents on the magic power furnace were still there. Saleen chucked in six pieces of dark crystal core before sealing the furnace with his Lightning Territory. Tiny lightning bolts shot into the magic power furnace, which contorted right in front of him and began to explode. The magnitude of the explosions were tens of times of that before. The six dark crystal cores of the abominations were melted into liquid form within the furnace.

The liquid began to modify the furnace. However, the modifications proved too difficult. Black mist seeped outside the furnace, which was forced back into the construct by the Lightning Territory. Hundreds of lightning arcs were sent inside the furnace every second, modifying the energy structures within.

The miniaturized magic power furnace intended to jump from the ground, but it was quickly suppressed by the Lightning Territory. Instead, it slowly wiggled. Most of its semi-metal shell was corroded, preventing anyone from telling apart its metallic structure.

”Master!” A clear voice was heard shouting within the furnace.

Saleen was elated. The newly created thing already had a clear mental connection with him. It was not a soul but something resembling ghosts. The being was forever sealed within the furnace and would never be able to come out.

The miniaturized magic power furnace became like a prison, which even Saleen found difficult to pry open. Once opened, the abomination's resurrected form would have lost protection, making the weakest part of it dissipate. Even if it were to survive, it would lose its intelligence.

Only beings of such form were able to bring out the true level nine power of abominations. One could create a self-aware magic power furnace by killing six level nine abominations. Once the furnace came to possess awareness and was able to function as the core of a puppet, it would be something else altogether.

Saleen finally was able to create self-aware puppets with high-combat capacity, like ancient humans. Despite being a resurrected product of the abominations, these puppets would not be able to betray him. Then again, magic power furnaces were no longer pure power cores. They could not fit into conventional machines.

”My liege, level 10 abominations appeared!” Jola said as Saleen was steeped in his magic experiments.

”Level 10?” Saleen looked up and turned his eyes toward the monitoring magic array.

He saw over 100 enchanters focusing their attacks on an abomination about 32 feet tall on the Floating City in the sky. The abomination had a single horn on its head and wore golden armor. The front of the armor had a face, which looked rather familiar to Saleen.
