[Third Update]
The God of Light was a true god. However, after humans conquered various planes, slaughtered believers, and even invaded the Kingdom of Gods, powerful gods fell one after another. The God of Light was only a level-15 low-level god.
The Elemental Magic Tower that the Grandmaster created for Salin was also level-16 equipment at the beginning. After Cain's refinement, the elemental stones of the Elemental Magic Tower were all level-18 equipment.
No matter how powerful a level-15 artifact was, in Van Gogh's hands, it could only exert the power of a level-10 artifact. This was limited by the rules. Otherwise, it would be a joke if an ordinary person with a artifact could go on a rampage and cause the death of strong people.
What they competed on was the strength of their equipment. Van Gogh grasped some of the rules, but he couldn't break the gaps between the elemental stones. The Elemental Magic Tower's refinement was a bit tricky. The Grandmaster's power had fallen, so he used the dimensional stone as the material to connect the elemental stones.
Even so, a mysterious thing like the dimensional stone wasn't something Van Gogh could destroy. He had touched the rules, but couldn't control them. Only when he used the Spear of Order could he activate the power of the rules.
The level of the rules wasn't enough to threaten the dimensional stone.
Salin's water flame refinement of the dimensional stone could only change its appearance. He couldn't deal with the dimensional space inside. Otherwise, Shika's equipment would be upgraded to a divine artifact.
The water puppet, Lawson, touched the wound on its abdomen, which was trying to heal. Although Van Gogh had shown mercy, the Spear of Order was an absolute killing weapon. If it were a Gold Sword Saint, they would be dead by now. The water puppet hadn't developed a soul yet. In essence, that bit of life force couldn't make it a real living creature.
This was the advantage of humanoid weapons — they were hard to kill.
"Master, don't let the Primordial Warriors out. Their souls are weak, and Van Gogh's prophecy is powerful. They can easily be tricked," Nicholas reminded Salin. He didn't know that Salin's Shard of Eternal Control could protect the souls of the Primordial Warriors.
"Oh? What about the warriors of the Ironblood Grand Duke? " Salin didn't explain to Nicholas. He wanted to know if the Ironblood Warriors, who were of the same origin as him, had such a weakness.
"The Ironblood Warriors … their souls are almost dead. My Lord, souls are meaningless to Predators. What I'm most afraid of is that he has the same equipment as me. This Van Gogh has God's Grace, which is stronger than my Fallen Divine Arts. If he has something like the Pearl of Souls, he'll have at least one chance to fully perform the Greater Prophecy Spell. "
"Great Prophecy Spell? Isn't that the Pope's skill? "
"The people from the Judgement Hall would never care about this taboo. In a life and death situation, this Van Gogh would even dare to assassinate a deity, "Nicholas explained.
"How terrifying is the Great Prophecy Technique?"
"My Lord, your soul is strong, so you won't be killed by the Greater Prophecy Technique. Van Gogh's level is close to yours. However, the Prophecy Technique itself was hard to defend against. His martial technique was also very strong, and the weapon in his hand was probably Black Prison's Divine Weapon. If I'm affected by his prophecy in battle … "
Salin understood now. Back then, Persia's defeat was due to Nicholas' little prophecy. Little Prophecy didn't have the ability to kill Inbos, but it made Inbos vulnerable in the battle. This loophole was exploited by him, which was why he had the chance to defeat him.
In a battle between the strong, even if it was just a few vibrations, it was enough to determine life and death.
"Lawson, come back." Salin sighed. It seemed that he couldn't take the Eye of the Storm anymore. It was too dangerous. If there was only one Van Gogh, it would be fine. But if there were twelve high-level mages, it would be very dangerous for Nelis to take the Eye of the Storm.
But Salin wasn't willing to leave just like that. He summoned Winnie, gave him the miniature magic cannon, and asked him to wait on the fifteenth floor of the magic tower.
Water Puppet Lawson sneered outside the magic tower, "You stabbed me with your spear, so take an ice bullet from me!"
As he spoke, an ice bullet with a diameter of more than two meters condensed in the Water Puppet's hand and flew towards Van Gogh.
Van Gogh smiled slightly, and his Spear of Order flew out again, accurately hitting the huge ice bullet. However, the Water Puppet took this opportunity to escape into the Elemental Magic Tower.
Salin could see that Van Gogh really wanted his Water Puppet. Salin also wanted to study how souls were born from the Water Puppet. If he could observe the whole process, advancing to level-10 would be almost instantaneous, and he wouldn't need to accumulate any experience at all. The only limitation of his magic string growth was that his knowledge was somewhat shallow, and he couldn't understand the true meaning of souls.
After thinking this through, Salin simply let the Water Puppet return, and directly stored it in the Divine Fusion. If Van Gogh really wanted it, he would have to break through the magic tower.
No matter how strong Van Gogh was, he couldn't do anything to Salin inside the magic tower. When he was inside the Elemental Magic Tower, even the Nascent Soul had to waste a lot of time to slowly look for flaws.
Van Gogh broke the huge ice bullet, and only then did he realize that the Water Puppet had escaped back into the magic tower, and that huge magic tower directly sank into the water.
"Want to run?" Van Gogh directly swooped down from the sky, and plunged head first into the sea. The people behind him followed helplessly. Golden runes appeared on the iron armor of the leaders of the prison guards. They had no choice but to activate the function of the armor, and followed Van Gogh into the water.
This level of armor could enter the water, but in the water, these people's battle strength was greatly reduced.
Van Gogh chased into the sea, completely unafraid of Salin's magic tower. At his level, with a divine artifact and many powerful equipment, it would be strange if he was frightened by a magic tower.
He wasn't afraid, but the mages behind him were scared to death. They were afraid that something would happen to Van Gogh. If Van Gogh was plotted against, everyone would die. They couldn't bear the anger of Black Prison.
So the twelve black-robed priests and dozens of prison guards all rushed into the sea. In the Elemental Magic Tower, Nelis didn't even say goodbye to Salin, and rushed out. However, she went out from the bottom of the magic tower, and returned to her little demon form a hundred meters below. She swung her tail vigorously, and swam forward at high speed.
When Van Gogh entered the water, a layer of transparent light naturally formed around his body, and his speed wasn't slow either. He saw Nelis swimming below, and thought that she was going to attack from the front and the back.
Because the Elemental Magic Tower didn't escape, and instead floated in front of him, a window opened on one of the floors of the magic tower.
Then Van Gogh saw an intense light, and the seawater in front of him instantly evaporated, forming a hole with a diameter of more than three meters. Like Salin, Van Gogh already felt that something was wrong before the danger happened. His Gun of Order formed a huge three-dimensional divine rune in front of him with a long chain before the miniature magic cannon was fired.
The magic cannon hit the Gun of Order silently, and the magic light dimmed. The Gun of Order wasn't damaged at all, and the seawater near the huge hole formed by the magic cannon was squeezed into the center, making a strong collision sound.
Van Gogh broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't sensed the danger, he was afraid that even the equipment on his body wouldn't have been able to withstand this attack. Even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
Originally, magic cannons didn't pose a threat to individual masters. Even if the point of attack was more than three meters in diameter, it couldn't lock onto a master like Van Gogh. However, the position where Van Gogh entered the water seemed to have been calculated by the people in the magic tower. Almost at the same time when he looked at the magic tower, the magic cannon in the magic tower fired.
Van Gogh was stunned at first, and then slightly angry.
His magic had already reached the peak of the ninth level. After defending against this attack, he immediately calculated that he had been affected by the Minor Prophecy spell. That was why he had stopped for a short time and looked forward. And the enemy cooperated well and attacked the moment he stopped.
Minor Prophecy! There must be a powerful fallen priest in this magic tower! And this fallen priest was very cunning. He didn't try to use Minor Prophecy to take his life, but instead made him pause for a short time. Such a prophecy spell wouldn't have a strong backlash.
Since there was a fallen priest who could use Minor Prophecy, he couldn't let the people in this magic tower go. No matter where he went, he had to kill that guy!
Thinking of this, Van Gogh took out a book from the badge in front of his chest.
This book had a black cover, and golden divine runes were written on it. He loosened his right hand and let the Gun of Order form an absolute shield of divine runes in front of him. Then, he opened the book in his hand.
"Lord of Light, my God, my Father, please use your wisdom to open this evil shield in front of me!"
Magic was different from magic. Many powerful magic spells required a very short recitation time. This was completely dependent on how much divine grace the priest had received. Van Gogh was the favorite of the gods. When he was twenty-four years old, the gods had bestowed upon him a gift, allowing his body to maintain the state of a twenty-four year old. This allowed him to practice magic at a faster pace, and he didn't have to worry about aging.
In the entire Abyss, Van Gogh was the one who was favored by the gods the most. Therefore, when he finished reciting the short prayer, a perfectly round golden three-dimensional divine character flew out from the book in his hand. This divine character seemed to have a physical form, and after it flew out, it collapsed inwards and condensed into a dazzling golden spot of light, flying into Van Gogh's left eye.
Vinny continued to fire the magic cannons. Salin's voice sounded in the depths of his soul: Vinny, come back!
Vinny immediately gave up on attacking. He fired four consecutive cannons at the same angle and position. The divine rune shield formed by the chains of the Gun of Order did not show any signs of being damaged.
The golden spot of light flew into Van Gogh's left eye and immediately spread out, forming a net-like structure that wrapped around Van Gogh's eyeball. Through this layer of golden net, Van Gogh saw the loophole in the elemental magic tower.
