1334 Doom of Holy Rock City Part 2 (2/2)

”Abomination crawlers!” the young sorcerer yelled.

”Abomination crawlers?” Saleen looked at the monsters and cast a compound magic spell.

Thousands of icicles fell from the sky, instantly tearing more than 300 abomination crawlers to shreds. The wounds of the hit abomination crawlers froze over, yet they seemed to show signs of burning. Their powerful self-healing abilities were not enough to allow them to stand up. They all were quickly submerged into the lake.

The remaining abomination crawlers showed no fear as they charged at the island. The Bug Angel Warriors took them on and both sides quickly tore at each other.

The sorcerer felt the battle looked rather obnoxious. His throat felt dry. It was not that he had never fought any battles. He went to the Tanggulasi Empire when he was at level seven, hunting down several holy masters in secret. He had even participated in the Battle of Daliang City when he was at level nine.

The battle right in front of him looked more bloody than any he had participated in before. Both sides were incredibly resilient creatures. Imps and demons had formidable healing powers, and the Bug Angel Armors were capable of self-healing.

Like the abomination crawlers, the Bug Angel Warriors were very hard to kill. The abomination crawlers had sharp claws, which had a sharpness level surpassing most magical arms. It was a pity that their claws lost all of that as soon as they died.

The magic tower was quickly straightened up and patched. The repair took less than 20 seconds when Saleen used his Water Flame Alchemy. He moved on to restore the magic arrays of the magic tower.

The young sorcerer looked on in awe. That was no longer the ability of a level 10 mage. While level 10 mages were capable of building a magic tower completely on their own, there was no way they could have finished constructing it so quickly. He came to regret being so rude to Saleen earlier. The habit of a royal mage was hard to kick at times.

Saleen brought his men into the tower after fixing it. He told the bug angels to guard the tower outside and left two level 10 mages in charge. The two level 10 mages worked well with the Bug Angel Warriors after the tower was restored. They managed to somehow keep the abomination crawlers from getting onto the island.

There were no magic arrays at the underside of the tower. Instead, it had a straight passage. They walked down the steps and passed by several broken magic doors before coming to the first floor of the underground city.

They were more than 984 feet below the surface. The depth of the man-made lake was around a few dozens of feet. They had only reached the first level of the underground city. When they passed a layer of rocks, Saleen was able to see underground rivers flowing by.

He had no concerns of being ambushed with Rafel at his side. He cast Fluorescence in the dark, shining light for hundreds of feet. They were at a hall. There were a few bodies. Saleen discovered that none of the bodies were in a single piece. All of them showed signs of being bitten and chewed on.

Those damned abominations are eating people!

Demons ate humans, but they did it just like how humans ate. It was not due to preference but sheer hunger. There were few things that demons did not eat. If it was necessary to stay alive, demons would even eat their own kind. Those abominations, on the other hand, had been eating people solely due to their savagery.

Saleen turned his eyes away from the harrowing scene and returned to being a pure mage with no emotions. He began to analyze the battle that had been fought.

”There,” he pointed and said.

All signs were revealed by his Elemental Eye. There had been intense battles fought. The abominations barged in from the passage outside and met resistance in the hall. The fighting likely continued for over an hour before the human soldiers retreated.

”Your Highness, wrong direction,” the sorcerer said.

”Just come with me.” Saleen cast a blob of starlight from his finger. He came before a small hole under the starlight's guidance.

The hole was on the ground. The edges were stained with the unique aura of the abominations. The bloodstains were apparent. The stench was unmistakable.

Rafel leapt inside without waiting for Saleen's orders. She dived head first. The purple lance was no longer seen on her hand. While Saleen had crafted weapons and equipment for her, she still preferred her own weapon.

”Bones, take the rear!” Nailisi shouted as she dove inside with Rafel.

She was concerned for Saleen. Rather, she was concerned about Rafel. Who knows if that angel will betray master. Only I and the Winged Skull are the loyal ones here.

Saleen called for the sorcerer, who exasperatedly followed behind him and leapt into the hole. A layer of red glitter appeared on his body. It was Fire Washing, a low-level fire elemental spell.

The sorcerer combined the spell with Fire Ring of Resistance capable of sensing friend or foe. Once the user was attacked, the Fire Washing was converted into defensive fire magic.

Fire Washing was a detoxification skill on its own and had some dispelling abilities. The sorcerer's techniques were considered rather mature. Saleen saw all that and knew that the young mage would not hold him back. It was a fact that he found rather comforting. If all royal mages were of such caliber, it would take considerable time before the underground city became overrun.

The Winged Skull took the metal angels into the hole after the sorcerer. The hole was dug by the abominations. It was so wide that even the bug angels were able to get in.

However, there was too much secretion from the abominations on the walls. If humans were to touch the secretion, no professional below level seven would be able to withstand it. They even posed a danger to those above level seven.

It was fortunate that none at Saleen's side were afraid of such contaminating substances. It was impossible to abominate the metal angels. There was a god in the Floating City, and the metal angels have all converted to the faith of the God of Magic Net.
