1434 Heroes Part 1 (2/2)

”Ghosts...” Dante felt like laughing.

Saleen then said, ”Indeed. The strongest one among them is a level 18 ghost.”

Dante shut up right there and then, realizing why Saleen chose to run all the way there. A level 18 ghost? The growth of power with every advancement after level 13 would have been like that of three levels at lower levels.

That meant that after level 13, every advancement would have brought power growth of that of one whole rank. That was a difference that was incapable of being compensated in any way. The Lord of Glory's double was at level 14. He was able to only use powers at level 12 and yet he had already almost annihilated Saleen's men. None of those powerful beings around Saleen were able to take even a single hit.

The number of powerful magic beasts beneath the ice sheet at the Oceanic Ice Block was an infuriating one. However, they parted and made way for the Lord of Glory's double without him having to do anything.

That was an effect from Divine Might. Even if the magic beasts were not intelligent ones, they were nonetheless able to tell that the being before them had powers that they were unable to resist.

As such, Saleen did not meet any resistance as well. Dante took him straight to the tunnels in the underwater rocks, arriving at the external fringes of the Imperial City of the Abyss. Due to reminders from Saleen, he undid the seal on his body before he continued moving forward, with his powers returning to level 13 at once.

The power difference between level 13 and level 12 was just too great. Dante was a pseudogod and thus, without a divine persona. Its power suffered a severe drop after sealing it at level 12. However, when the seal was undone, its speed was increased by a dozen times over all of a sudden.

If it had not been for the peculiar relationship between it and Saleen, Saleen would have been affected by Dante's Divine Might as well.

The Imperial City of the Abyss was not far away. Saleen took out the badge that Gaine gave him and pinned it on Dante, saying, ”When I tell you to run, you dive straight into the magic amplifier. Whatever happens, don't come out.

”Yes, master.” Dante only realized by then that the secrets on his master was far more than what it had expected.

Due to the workings of the badge, the elemental creatures behind the walls did not attack Dante when it went over the walls. None of the magic arrays in the city were activated. Saleen was entering as an astrologer. That identity allowed him free access at the external fringes of the city without invoking any attacks.

Saleen dared to use the badge by then. After Gaine left, there was no other astrologer found in the Imperial City of the Abyss.

The Lord of Glory's double found that the mage's movement speed sped up all of a sudden and he was baffled, thinking that there was a space portal in front and the mage managed to escape. When he was sucked into the bottom of the ocean by the abyss' power shortly after, he discovered that the rules there no longer limited the rise of his power.

The Lord of Glory's double was elated. The ball of light in his hand burst in size and the power of his body was enhanced 100 times over, and the levels were still climbing afterwards.

He no longer needed the power of the godly item after the seal was undone. One step enabled him to move almost 1000 meters underwater. His speed was increased several times over.

Due to no longer having to use power from the godly item, his movement skill became something he was able to control. The power at level 14 ensured that he would not have been lost underwater.

Nicholas' lesser prophecy spell became totally useless by then. It was considered a miracle to have a level 11 fallen holy master confuse a god for that long. The Lord of Glory's double knew that he had been confused due to the effects of the lesser prophecy spell before. However, his mood had turned for the better and his powers completely recovered. There would have been no one capable of taking him on in the entire Myers Mainland.

The Lord of Glory charged before the Imperial City of the Abyss in glee. The joy felt within was indescribable.

He was surprised to find the place to be something from the First Dynasty.

He had without doubt, knew of the First Dynasty. The mages of the First Dynasty had destroyed too many divine kingdoms. The Lord of Glory had been running from them back in those days.

Ruins huh? It wouldn't be surprising to find any godly items in there. That mage...

Hardly surprising why he possesses so many weird powers then. So this is where he found all of that.

Saleen had Dante take him straight to the Cemetery of Heroes. He was still having a bit of hope in him. While Nailisi did not leave any message behind and he was no longer able to sense her, but the contract deep within his soul had yet to disappear.

With the contract still intact, it meant that there was still hope for Nailisi to be revived.

However, Rafel was definitely dead and it did not seem that Nicholas had any chance of survival. The Winged Skull was the least injured. If they were to not encounter any enemies, they would have definitely returned to Metatrin City and moved the rest of Saleen's forces to the interdimensional space.

The Winged Skull came to possess a plane by then. Given enough time, they would have even been able to gain 12 gods as their bouncer. By then, it would have been possible to even crush the Lord of Glory's divine kingdoms.
