1335 Safilos Part 1 (2/2)

Rafel pouted. That was a very human-like action, and even she did not realize that she was doing it. As an oracle, it was possible that it was her first time doing something like that.

Nailisi happily walked up in front of Rafel and began to thrust at the abominations emerging from the dark with the Grey Memory. The number of abominations were low. The path chosen by the hovering starlight never had much danger in it. To Saleen and the others, the abomination troops were simply too weak.

They continued moving forward for more than three miles, passing through tens of passages and several huge spaces, before hearing fighting noises ahead of them. Things were no longer dark, and there was light from fires shining before them. The temperature rose abruptly. Saleen cast Water Flame without a care. The Water Flame's temperature was frighteningly low. If it happened to touch a human's body, it would have immediately frozen it and reduced that part to dust. The surrounding temperatures normalized immediately after the Water Flame was cast. The proficiency with which Saleen was keeping the temperature steady made him one of the best to be found on Myers Mainland.

There was a space of about 600 cubic yards ahead of them. There were abominations dropping from above ceaselessly, attacking a platform. There were more than 1,000 human soldiers on that platform and hundreds of mages holding the line there. There was a pillar reaching the dome built on the platform, yet the abominations dropping from above were still unable to land on the platform. There were layers of magic light on the platform. The abominations jumped on them and slid down instead.

Saleen was able to see it clearly. It was not that the abominations were unable to penetrate the barrier of light, but that there was a powerful magic array set within the light, causing the abominations to hallucinate and change course. That formidable mental power magic, when used in tandem with illusions, created the first layer of protection. There were some powerful abominations penetrating into the barrier of light at times, and they were quickly met with high-level magic attacks.

Saleen was perceptive enough to see that at a narrow part of that platform, there was a figure swinging his sword and cutting down an abomination who was over a dozen yards tall. That figure was none other than Safilos. Safilos held a curved, long sword. He stood at about six feet tall, yet his sword was over nine feet long. The sword coursed with purple light, which looked as gentle as a water element yet was filled with power. Four level-ten mage trainers were at Safilos's side, fighting in sync with him.

A huge door was behind Safilos, which led to the third level below ground. Saleen's Elemental Eye allowed him to see the stains on the ground. Safilos had probably killed a good number of abominations on his way to retreat there.

Safilos saw Saleen from afar as well. He was stunned for a bit before shouting, ”Saleen, get over here!”

Saleen smiled. Safilos's powers were indeed terrifying. That level-nine abomination was utterly incapable of defending against his sword attacks. If Saleen were to kill level-nine abominations, it would have definitely been an easy job as well, but that had only been possible after finding out the right way to do it. He needed to use Ice Blades using magic liquid. Level-nine abominations would have had utterly no way of restoring the damage sustained as soon as they were hit by Saleen's Ice Blade.

The abominations heard Safilos and several hundred abominations rushed at Saleen. Nailisi and Rafel rushed to the forefront and took on the abominations, leaving only a narrow passage behind. Nailisi and Rafel then stabbed the abominations dead without a care.

A huge rumble continued to be heard. Those were the sounds of the abominations clashing with the metal angels head on. The metal angels looked battered and bruised in no time. However, like the abominations, the metal angels' bodies quickly recovered when they were hit by the weapons. The weapon spirit at the Floating City provided the metal angels with power. Despite a level-13 god only being a pseudo-god, he was nonetheless able to make the hundreds of metal angels into indestructible monsters.

Rafel sighed and did not charge forth to help the metal angels. A power of faith emanated from the metal angels' bodies. That was the sign of them praying to the god at the Floating City, in order to acquire greater combat capacity. They were level- ten creatures themselves and were one level higher than the abominations. Those metal angels were only injured, and they were unable to be killed. Rafel had no problem letting Saleen take charge of the metal angels, so long as he was able to keep them alive. They were converted to the faith of another god after all.

Rafel's heart ached a bit at that thought. Since when did I get so indifferent about faith? Despite the fact that the god she embraced was dead, she should have still had some bit of sadness in her.

”Prince Safilos, no need to hurry. I'm here to help after all,” Saleen said and conjured a huge water bubble in his hand. That was the Water Shield that had not been modified much. However, there were three layers to it, with one being imbued with lightning patterns, one layer infused with Restorative Water, and yet another layer infused with magic liquid. The water bubble shot into the air and plugged the hole at the second level dome.
