1325 Purification Part 1 (1/2)
A weak voice said, ”Master...”
Saleen looked and saw the Violet Angel. He had no idea when it had sneaked into his Lightning Constellation. It still held onto the War Drum of Fear.
The Violet Angel looked at Saleen in fright. One of its hand was holding the bone hammer.
That thing was very good at running, but that was hardly surprising. It was a puppet controlled by Saleen. If he felt danger, it would also feel lit. It had quickly run before the explosion took place.
Saleen was unable to bring himself to berate the puppet. Furthermore, it had brought back the War Drum of Fear. Although the drum was powerful, if it was caught in the blast, it would have likely been destroyed.
He was not in a mood to console the puppet. He commanded the Floating City to attack in all directions.
The Oracle Corps suffered heavy losses. The targets Saleen attacked were all where level 10 holy masters. He had over 1,000 enchanters using level 10 magic attacks on the holy masters.
After several waves of attacks, the six level 10 holy masters were wiped out, and 6,000 enchanters were in a coma.
Highland City was in shambles. With more than 1,000 magic spells thrown below, even the ground itself was razed. With powerful volleys of fire magic being cast below, half of Highland City was burning.
There was no soldier capable of surviving the burning elemental fires. Only high level holy masters were left. They were struggling to hold on
Saleen possessed the Elemental Eye, which enabled him to locate holy masters who survived the fire. He had enchanters bombard any left above level eight. Not even he would have been able to withstand getting bombarded like that.
The lines of defense at the north and west were completely obliterated by the Floating City. Over 20,000 enchanters lost combat capacity. Not even a single mid-level magic nuclei was left on the Floating City.
Seeing that Grand Duke Iron Blood had retreated, Saleen took out the mid-level magic nuclei he had and threw it into the magic power furnaces. He brought the Floating City up to an altitude of 60,000 feet and headed east.
After that, Saleen began to check on his own internal parts. The Figure of Fate was completely shriveled. He became somewhat fearful. He hadn't thought he could be killed back then, so he had stood before Jola.
The Figure of Fate had limits of how much damage it could take. When the damage caused exceeded the capacity of absorption, he would have been damaged.
He wondered what kind of god that finger bone belonged to since it exploded with such a force.
”Master...” The Violet Angel called out again.
”What is it?” Saleen asked.
”Finger bone of the Heretic God,” the Violet Angel said.
”What do you mean?” Saleen asked.
”Abominations, the Heretic God, ancient wars...” The Violet Angel began to think after blurting several terms. It had no memories of anything until it saw that finger bone of the Heretic God. The item managed to shake something out of its mind.
Saleen was reminded that the Violet Angel's existence was related to the angel of fear. That face at the abdomen of the angel of fear was seen on the armor of the abominations. It seemed that was the appearance of the Heretic God.
His astrology managed to do its calculations without any trouble. That face had indeed belonged to the Heretic God, but there were no records of the Heretic God. Saleen had no way to continue doing his calculations. His level of astrology was too low.
At level 10, it was almost impossible to acquire information of some powerful being like that. Saleen had no intentions of continuing to train in astrology even though he was unable to calculate anything further. Still, the Heretic God was unable to make it to their plane. One finger bone was already terrifying.
If the Heretic God had made it to Myers Mainland, Saleen would have been killed right away. His intuition told him that since the Heretic God was unable to get to their plane, he was more or less done there. The Oracle Corps was totally unprepared. With six level 10 holy masters gone, Fycro had to have suffered quite a heartache.
The intense attack ended up exhausting all mid-level magic nuclei supplies on the Floating City. It caused over 20,000 enchanters to fall into comas and killed more than 100,000 Hole See warriors.
The over a million-strong army of the Oracle Corps was almost obliterated by Saleen. None actually dared to pursue him after his Floating City fled. The surviving holy masters were busy fleeing themselves. With Fycro absent, there was no one capable of stopping the taint of the Heretic God.
The Floating City did not return to Metatrin City. Instead, it headed straight for Nature City. Metatrin City was an impregnable fortress. Even if Fycro was extremely pissed, he would have dared to fight Jason.
The reason Saleen chose to return to Nature City was because he was afraid that Fycro would destroy that city. It was worth noting that Nature City was the key to Saleen's efforts in resurrecting the Goddess of Myers.
Although Nature City's construction had been comprehensive, there were too few powerful ones around. Myers the Water Fox's level dropped due to having to save Nailisi. She was only a level 10 and unable to take on Fycro.
As for Daliang City, it had reached an agreement with Golden Plains that Arbola was to support Lex to ascend the throne and become empress. If Fycro were to look for trouble with Lex, Arbola would deal with him. Lex was also a level 10 mage and had God's Ring. As such, Fycro would not have been able to kill her.
Fycro appeared in Highland City several hours after Saleen's Floating City took off. His expression was grim. Highland City was shrouded by black mist. It continued to spread outside, yet it never got further than 15 miles in diameter.
There was almost nothing left of his army. Only a little more than 100 holy masters remained. They led about 100,000 Bug Angel Warriors to await his return.
