1435 Heroes Part 2 (1/2)
Saleen was outside the Cemetery of Heroes and let Dante get into the magic amplifier right away. He stopped and looked around in the cemetery, finding it empty and there was no heroic spirits found anywhere.
Sh**, are they all dead or have they left?
Saleen swept the place with his Eye of Souls and all gravestones stood around without making a sound.
”Grandmaster!” Saleen called using thundering sound skills. That ended up making the cemetery lively.
Most of the heroes either climbed out or squeezed themselves out from the great number of gravestones about. There were also those who flew out in pieces and then assembled themselves back together.
Everyone was apparently happy to see Saleen around
”Hey, look who's here?”
”Haha, that little mage back then has actually advanced to level 11. I take it you're now considered a powerful one somehow eh?”
”Right, back in our days, we would probably do more to foster him. Yep, he should be able to lead an army of less than 1000.”
”I heard that he is a king now.”
”Where is the grandmaster?” Saleen continued calling.
”You're looking for me?” The grandmaster appeared before Saleen all of a sudden.
”Yes, I've brought you something, and it's coming right behind me now,” Saleen pointed behind him.
The grandmaster immediately sensed the Lord of Glory's double of the Lord of Glory charging in their direction from behind Saleen. He was overjoyed and then yelled, ”Everyone, hide! It's a level 14 demigod, and a living one!”
The heroes that had been surrounding Saleen all dispersed within seconds, hiding back into their gravestones as quickly as they were able to. The aura of all those heroes were quickly concealed by the gravestones as soon as they went back into them.
The grandmaster then said to Saleen, ”Hit me with your most powerful attack!”
If the others were to be told to do so, they might have hesitated, but not Saleen. He lifted his hand and unleashed eight ball lightning at the grandmaster.
The grandmaster's expression changed drastically right away. It was fortunate that the ball lightning were incapable of moving quickly and was less powerful he expected. However, those attacks nonetheless reminded him of somewhere else and that made him jump.
The grandmaster hooked with his finger and a box leapt from the dirt below.
It was apparent that the box was a piece of equipment as well. While it was rather crude, but it was sturdy enough nonetheless. The eight ball lightning were shut inside the box by the grandmaster.
Saleen found immediately that the box had amplified the ball lightning's powers by hundreds of times over. No, that's just an illusion. The grandmaster then laid down an illusion-type magic on the box, making others think that the box contained an immensely powerful godly item.
”Run over there!” The grandmaster then flung the box away. The box draw an arc in the water and landed on the grave without inscriptions, with only the corner of the box sticking out.
Saleen understood that the heroes were incapable of leaving the cemetery and they were also afraid that the Lord of Glory would have hesitated to get inside. As such, the grandmaster went about setting up a trap, making the Lord of Glory think that Saleen was there to collect a powerful equipment, in order to take on the god.
Saleen was able to understand the plan within a split second and he was able to sense at the same time, that the Lord of Glory's double was heading that way as well.
The Lord of Glory should have long arrived. His speed surpassed Saleen a lot more in that place. However, due to not having an identifying badge with me, he was soon attacked by the magic arrays within the city walls, before he even got near the city walls.
Most of those magic arrays were broken, with the remaining ones casting magic corresponding to the level of the enemy's power.
The Lord of Glory was at level 14 and magic arrays of the highest levels at the edge of the wall were but level 12. Even so, when hundreds of level 12 magic spells were locked onto the Lord of Glory's double, it still frightened the demigod level double nonetheless.
Some parts of this city is still intact!?
That almost halted the Lord of Glory. His fear of ancient humans far eclipsed what Saleen imagined it to be. That trauma was so severe that it had even impeded the Lord of Glory's progress in advancement.
However, the Lord of Glory was able to steel himself and enter shortly after. There were only broken magic arrays left in the city. If there had been true ancient humans alive, that main plane would not have fallen that much and his religion would have long been destroyed.
The ball of light in the Lord of Glory's hand flickered and dazzling light burst from the dark ocean floor. There was no light element to be found there. He was only using the power stored within his godly item to destroy the city wall right there and then.
A large hole about a 100 meters wide was blasted and huge number of elemental creatures charged at him. The Elemental Stone Statue Soldiers attempted to mend the wall using earth element and the Lord of Glory laughed, barging his way through the elemental creatures.
He swung the scepter in his hand around, making it so like there was an invisible hammer crushing all weapons that were getting near him.
The scepter's power could be wielded full force without level restrictions. If the Lord of Glory's double were to actually hit Nicholas right there and then, the fallen holy master would have been reduced to mush, regardless of how well-equipped he was.
The Lord of Glory's double then picked up some elemental creatures along the way, before turning his eyes at the Cemetery of Heroes.
Saleen's steps were halted and the Lord of Glory's double was surprised. Not running anymore? He then sensed magic vibrations that the grandmaster had created.
