1507 Monkey Part 2 (2/2)

The head penetrated into a huge black hole after it was sent flying before disappearing without a trace.

The goddess twisted up the remains of the Heretic God and put it away in her red bangle.

The bodies of the 1,200 magic soldiers began to crack loudly before disintegrating one after another with electrical discharges.

Saleen was both shocked and angry. The goddess had no intention of killing the Heretic God. She only wanted the Heretic God's body. With a godly body like that, she would have no problem recovering her powers at level 18, but he, on the other hand, was now completely on the bad side of the Heretic God.

If he were to leave the goddess's side, she would have definitely no longer bothered with his protection.

She was extremely weak at the moment, but Dante would not dare to act against her. Saleen had expended all of his magic chords with that one shot with the Crystal Finger. The only level 18 scroll he had left with him was something that the goddess had given to him. If he were to use it against her, she could simply detonate it.

The goddess looked at the ground full of the remains of the magic soldiers and sighed. She said, ”You can have them.”

Her body then disappeared without a trace.

Saleen was baffled for a bit before calling Dante.

”What is the matter, master?”

”Tell me, how long do you think a god needs to recover from losing its head?”

”In the case of the Heretic God, probably hundreds of millions of years?”

”Well, best be wary of its double then. Let's head back, Dante.”

”Head back?”

”Head back to the Cemetery of Heroes. The general requires some items from the gods to recover his power, and this would be a big gift from me to him.”

Dante was puzzled by what that meant. If it had been Nailisi, she would have probably understood what Saleen was thinking.

Saleen did not leave right away. He put away the pieces of the magic soldiers and looked out for a bit on the platform. He only let Dante go back into the magic amplifier after confirming that there was nothing left to take.

Most of Saleen's magic chords had regenerated after resting for a while, which cost him a piece of dragon crystal.

He headed alone to the Cemetery of Heroes and stood outside. Saleen thought for a bit and decided it would be best for him to take out all the godly items related to the goddess, including the divine crystals.

”General, I was forced to do what I did by Myers, too, and I was unable to resist. Here is everything you need for your people.”

Saleen left the items inside the cemetery. A croaked voice was heard from within the cemetery, saying, ”Relax, Saleen. We won't do anything against you until Myers is dead!”

”Good to hear.” Saleen was satisfied and left.

Saleen was not in a hurry, and he remained in the abyss just outside of the imperial city to put all his broken divine personas into the Hall of Gods before taking Dante to train inside.

What he had intended to do was restore the Lightning Moon's powers. Although the goddess had without doubt duped him, the benefits she had given him were solid and undeniable, nonetheless.

He became capable of mastering the power of lightning, acquired a higher level of combat tactics, and learned one valuable lesson—never try to take advantage of powerful beings. What one could acquire would have to be equal to what one gave. That was a warning from the goddess.

Saleen needed to digest everything the goddess had imparted him with. She had not held back anything when she had taught him, but she had not provided him with any additional assistance, either. How much he was able to remember had been all up to him.

Saleen's memory was excellent, but what the goddess had taught him had been simply too much. The information contained within a single movement was more than enough to keep him reminiscing for a whole day. It was fortunate that Dante was around because it had three heads. Everything Saleen saw was transmitted to Dante, and that weapon spirit remembered. That was equal to Saleen remembering all of it himself.

The internal parts of the jade that kept Dante in control were packed full of all manner of scripts, all of them containing information cast by the goddess. The knowledge was imparted using different scripts to serve as mediums, and the elaborations were extremely detailed.

The goddess had no idea that Saleen had a piece of jade like that. If she knew, she probably would not have bothered giving Saleen so many pointers. According to her calculations, Saleen would have only been able to select and digest what was deemed most useful and advantageous to him, as well as the information that was easiest to memorize.

She had been completely oblivious to how greedy Saleen was for magical knowledge, and she had not expected that his equipment had abilities that could surpass common sense, enabling him to commit everything he had been taught to memory and also analyze it.

Saleen spent three months within the Hall of Gods relying only on those broken fragments of divine personas. He categorized and compartmentalized everything the goddess had taught him within those three months, learning quickly while working on the daggers left behind by the Heretic God to make his own weapons.

Those two daggers were created out of the tusks of the Heretic God, so there was little need to doubt their sharpness. They were far better than the golden dagger in Dante's possession.

Both daggers were of equal length and had a natural curve. Golden threads crafted from the Heretic God's hairs on his own coiled around the handle. Four simple runes were laid onto the daggers by Saleen, and they were runes seen on the Ring of Cosmos.

Invisibility, sharpness, speed, and power were the attributes imbued within those two daggers.

Most importantly of all, Saleen was already capable of controlling those two weapons at will just like an assassin, dealing lethal damage to anyone who got near him.
