[Second Update]
"Please … speak!" It was only then that Hu An realized something was amiss. He had no dignity before the demon, and he even felt inferior. As such, he raised his voice.
He then saw a long spear appear in the demon's hand, which she thrust at him.
A huge ice shield appeared before Hu An in an instant. Even though he had just advanced to grade-8, he was still a sorcerer. There was no way he would be ambushed in his own magic tower. Hu An thought to himself as he prepared his next spell.
The ice shield, which was more than half a yard thick, was pierced by the Grey Memory. Chunks of ice flew everywhere. Nailisi smirked and thrust the spear into Hu An's lower abdomen. Hu An lost all feeling in his body and was thrown out of the magic tower by Nailisi's spear.
The Grey Memory in Nailisi's hand was refined using the spear spike left behind by a silverline golden spearfish from more than 10,000 years ago. Even a grade-10 sorcerer would have had no choice but to dodge, let alone a grade-8 sorcerer's shield.
Nailisi did not even need to use the six eyes on the Grey Memory to lock onto a grade-8 sorcerer, and it did not cost her much mental power. Hu An had been too careless, thinking that he was able to cast almost all spells instantaneously in the magic tower, which allowed Nailisi to get close to him. Saleen's letter made him think that Nailisi would not do anything to him.
Who was Nailisi? She was a demon.
She dragged Hu An's body out of the magic tower and grabbed him, putting the Grey Memory away.
"I didn't want to kill you, mage," Nailisi did not forget to tease him. She enjoyed the fear in Hu An's eyes and said, "Master wants to keep you alive, but I don't like it when you talk to me so loudly."
Hu An's eyes were filled with both fear and confusion. How could a bonded creature of a mage disobey a mage's orders? Saleen's letter was not a lie. Why did the demon want to kill him? Was it really because he was talking too loudly?
"I don't like other people having pride other than my master. Mage, I'll give you a chance. Be my slave, and I won't kill you, "Nailisi tempted him.
The Mage Tower was in a state of chaos. The demons in the distance had already rushed over. Without Hu An's command, the only remaining level-four mage in the Mage Tower did not even dare to retaliate. Most of the mages and apprentices saw how Juan was caught by the demon. Their Grade 8 Ice Shield was shattered in an instant, and these low-level mages and apprentices lost the courage to fight.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you all," Nailisi said and had the demons surround the tower. Without a sorcerer in the magic tower, the power of the attacks would be greatly reduced. Nailisi was not afraid of them killing the demons. She was getting to know the human heart better and better.
As long as there was hope, these people would not do anything stupid.
Nailisi landed on the ground, already having a plan in mind. She looked at the paralyzed sorcerer in her hand and said, "I will only give you one chance. You know my temper. If you want to have the pride of a sorcerer, I will let you die quickly. If you want to live, nod your head. "
Juan felt that his neck could move again, and he nodded furiously.
Nailisi smiled and said, "I knew it. You're too slow though. I don't like it." With that, Nailisi pressed her hand on Hu An's head and extracted his soul, putting it into a broken figure.
Nailisi took one of the low level figures that Saleen had obtained. She had originally planned to use death magic to try and control the figure. Now that she had the soul of a sorcerer, it seemed to be a good idea.
Nailisi looked at the completely limp body in her hand and put it away in the dimension stone. She returned to her imp form and kicked open the door of the Mage Tower, bringing several demonic spirits with her.
The demonic spirits in the purgatory of devils were not there to fill the numbers. The demon army needed some messengers. The demonic spirits were intelligent, diligent, and fluent in the demonic language, making them good runners. The purgatory of devils had ample energy, which was much better than the demon plane. Furthermore, the rules in the purgatory of devils were more complete. Some of the demons among the 100,000 were about to advance.
The demonic spirits' powers were enhanced as well, and Nailisi was able to use them more easily than humans. As for the imps, Nailisi did not keep any of them.
Nailisi saw the trembling magic apprentices after entering the Mage Tower and felt bored.
Nailisi had everyone come to the seventh floor of the Mage Tower. There was one grade-4 grand mage, three grade-2 mages, one grade-1 mage, and 12 apprentices.
While Juan had many subordinates, none of them were swordsmen.
"Are you all willing to submit to me?" Nailisi asked lazily. The mages and apprentices looked at each other.
"If you submit, I won't kill you. I have something for you to do."
"What is it?" the grade-4 grand mage asked.
Nailisi spat out a Dragon Crystal Needle. The mage was caught off guard and his head exploded. Nailisi chuckled and said, "You're not even submitting yet, and you're already asking for trouble. What is the meaning of this? "
The three grade-2 mages were still standing there. The grade-1 mages and apprentices all knelt on the ground to show their submission.
"Understood." Nailisi drew her Sword of Rules. The flash of the blade killed the three grade-2 mages in an instant. The demonic spirits licked their lips. They were not given a chance to eat anything delicious in the purgatory of devils. The demons were already being kind by not bullying the demonic spirits. There was no way they would share the delicious magic bugs with the demonic spirits.
The bodies of the three mages emanated alluring smells. Once magic chords were formed, mages would be different from common humans. Their bodies contained pure energy.
Nailisi waved and gave the three bodies to the demonic spirits as a reward. She then had the demonic spirits search the Mage Tower to see the exact layout of the Mage Tower. Nailisi had no intention of leaving. The Mage Tower was still two miles away from the city. Yaoyang City had no idea what happened there.
Yaoyang City had alchemy binoculars at the city walls, but they were only looking at the main road. Nailisi had climbed over the mountains, so the people of Yaoyang City would not have noticed.
The common folk would not have dared to use alchemy binoculars to look at the Mage Tower. There were alarms on the Mage Tower, so the mages would know immediately if they were being watched. That was why Nailisi planned to lure Sufonso to death.
"What's your name?" Nailisi looked at the grade-1 mage and asked.
"My lady, my name is Aston."
"Weird name, hmm …" Nailisi pondered for a bit, scaring Aston out of his wits. He thought he had said something wrong. He had seen what happened to the three grade-2 mages. The demon before him was capable of killing people without warning.
"Are you sure you can lure Earl Sufonso here?" Nailisi asked right away.
Aston wanted to say no, but he had learned a thing or two about the demon's temper from what had happened before. If he said no, he would have died immediately.
"My lady, I'm not sure. Earl Sufonso is said to be breaking through to become a golden grand swordmaster. Even if he is still a silver grand swordmaster, he would have developed some ability to predict danger. My lady, my level is too low. I'd be exposed if I went. "
"You sure know how to talk. It would be a waste to kill you." Nailisi took a look at the white-robed mage and found the young mage to be rather good-looking. Even his heartbeat had stabilized after a few exchanges.
There was a theory among mages that if a person's looks met the standards of beauty, it would mean that the person was at least above average in terms of talent. Saleen, for example, was rather good-looking. If he had not been learning magic, he would have definitely become powerful if he had trained in swordsmanship instead.
The mage was rather good-looking, with well-proportioned bones and decent body proportions. Although he was only a grade-1 mage, he still looked very young, about 17 or 18 years old.
"Aston, once this is done, I'll get you a sorcerer to be your teacher. You have decent potential. Hmm, where are you from? "Nailisi asked casually. She might not have been interested in Aston's potential, as there were plenty of people like him on Sregl Island.
Aston sorted out his emotions and answered, "My lady, I'm considered half a Tanggulasi. I've liked magic since I was young. When the pope went hunting for death mages, elemental mages had a hard time. I was still a low-level apprentice back then, and my teacher left without me. I took a smuggler's ship and came to Sikeqinya. I haven't been here for long, only a month. "
"Only a month?" Nailisi narrowed her eyes and looked at Aston. If he had only been there for a month, she would have considered keeping him around. If Aston had been Hu An's student, Nailisi would have killed someone who betrayed their teacher.
"Indeed. I didn't plan to stay in Yaoyang City. I was going to Ironwall City. That's a place with more mages in Sikeqinya. "
"Why didn't you go to Qin?"
"My lady, I don't speak Qin. When I speak in the common language, my Tanggulasi accent is very strong. Going to the Qin Empire now would be very difficult," Aston answered honestly.
He fled from the Tanggulasi Empire to avoid being dragged into the holy war. He was still a high-level apprentice back then, and he advanced to grade-1 mage during his escape. Memorizing magic was a luxury for him. The mage who taught him magic did not teach him language. Mages like Saleen were few and far between in Sikeqinya, let alone in the Tanggulasi Empire.
"Aston, it's dangerous for you to trick Sufonso. But if you succeed, you'll have a teacher to guide you in the future. You'll become a grand mage, a sorcerer, and even more. Are you willing to help? "
Nailisi had originally planned to use Ultimate Shapeshifting to take on Hu An's appearance and trick Sufonso if Aston refused. However, according to Aston, Sufonso was about to advance to a golden grand swordmaster.
Warriors at such levels were very sensitive. While her appearance might not have been exposed, Hu An and Sufonso were too familiar with each other. It would have been difficult to fool Sufonso.
What her master meant was not only to kill Sufonso, but also to take Yaoyang City smoothly. If she were to do the assassination herself, it would have been difficult for her to take over Yaoyang City smoothly. Furthermore, if Sufonso were to advance to a golden grand swordmaster, he would have been able to escape very quickly. She had no confidence in being able to catch up to him.
