1464 Returning to the Hall of Gods Part 2 (1/2)

The general slowly emerged from his grave, flashing a smile at Saleen.

”I need to get to the Hall of Gods,” Saleen stated his request first. If the general were to not agree, the news he was about to tell him would be of little use to the man.

The general stared at Saleen for three seconds before taking out his badge and throwing it to Saleen.

”So, what's the news?”

”Myers has resurrected.”

The general's narrowed eyes quickly widened. Thousands of graves in the cemetery were in an uproar by then. All sorts of heroic spirits climbed out of their graves and gathered around the general's grave.

While those heroic spirits showed little fear of or respect for Myers, the news of the resurrection startled them. Even the general could barely maintain his composure. That's why he stared at Saleen in a nervous manner--as if Saleen was the resurrected goddess herself!

”Her resurrection took place at the center of the Purgatory Dessert. I assume none of you can make it there, but I can show you the image of her and me.” Saleen knew that plane coordinates didn't work within the Imperial City of the Abyss. After all, the city seemed to have vanished from Myers Mainland.

Saleen said this as he projected the process of him attacking the goddess using magic. The way he recorded the images was different—he was using lightning skills. Not even the goddess had actually been aware of what Saleen was doing during this attack.

Saleen attacked the goddess without hesitation just so he could set up the meeting on that day. The general had no idea how much time Saleen was able to spend in the Hall of Gods. Neither did he realize that Saleen had advanced to level-13.

Saleen needed to advance to level-14. What's more, he had to make sure the three weapon spirits advanced as well. Only by doing so would he get the chance to head back to the cemetery of the giant to claim the Lightning Moon.

He wouldn't allow any unforeseen circumstances to occur this time. If he were able to claim the Lightning Moon, he could use many skills in his Book of Lightning. By then, not even the Lord of Glory would be able to withstand a lightning strike from him.

After reading the magic spells in the Book of Lightning, he knew that to be free of regrets in the future, he had to master the book completely. Every single skill in that book looked very tempting to Saleen.

Further, the badge was something left behind by his father. He wondered if his family had secrets enabling him to train in the lightning magic running through his veins.

He hardly kept anything to himself and had attempted to impart lightning skills to others. Except for Eleanor, not even his teacher and Truman had mastered those skills. Eleanor's mastery was not of a high enough level: it only enabled her arrows to boast better penetration and be imbued with anti-magic properties.

The grandmaster looked at the projections over and over. Saleen then let out a tiny cough.

”Get going.” The grandmaster had actually forgotten about the trade.

Saleen took out the things he had prepared and placed them before the general. It was not really necessary for him to make the trade, but he felt uneasy having the seeds on his person. If the goddess ever found out about this, she would probably retrieve them at any moment.

”What do you want?” The grandmaster was still watching the magic projection.

”Level-18 scrolls. The kind I can use.

”I only have level-17 ones.”

”That'll do.” Saleen was thrilled. Level -17 or level-18 made little difference to him. Both would work well against the Lord of Glory. All he needed was something to overpower level-15 gods.

The grandmaster didn't play any tricks on Saleen this time. He took out a yellow scroll. It looked huge, almost three times the size of normal books.

Saleen glanced at the magic rope on the scroll and saw that it looked proper. Secret magic inscriptions were written there, detailing the scroll's contents.

Level-17 earth magic was contained within. He found that useful enough. Its effects wouldn't be diminished when dealing with the Lord of Glory, who was of light element.

Saleen took the level-17 magic scroll while looking at the grandmaster. He had prepared three sets of items. The grandmaster was exasperated, taking out two other level-15 ones before Saleen was satisfied and left.

It was rare for the grandmaster to not get pissed off. Then again, the news that Saleen had brought him was of great importance.

Everyone knew what Myers was like back in the day. She had been one of the top mages. After becoming a god, she was still capable of using magic. Further, she could access the source of that main plane where they were after achieving godhood and was many times more powerful than other advent gods.

So long as Myers Mainland stayed intact, the powers of Myers would be inexhaustible.

Despite being of a similar level, it was nearly impossible for the general to kill Myers. It was fortunate that Myers hadn't yet advanced to adequate heights. If those people ever left the Cemetery of Heroes, they would be able to kill that god, who had once been their friend.
