[Second Update]
Nelis was not just a narrow-minded demon. With the increase in strength, this little demon's wisdom had also increased. When she looked at problems, she was not the same as before, and there were many more calculations in her heart.
It was not convenient for Salin to get rid of Garin. Plus, Salin needed to get his hands on the magic secrets.
Neris wanted to enter the Giant's Graveyard this time to plot against Garin. She had her own plans, but she did not tell Salin. Once Salin found out and Garin found out, she would not be able to do it.
The battle under the city never stopped. The two chief judges had calmed down a lot. Although they had lost the fourth chief judge, the people on the city wall did not dare to come down anymore. They only threw magic fire bombs in the air.
These magic fire bombs were very destructive to densely packed targets, especially the buildings in the city. The army of the Vatican no longer dared to set up a dense camp. They were all scattered small barracks, and there were mages everywhere. Their only task was to use divine spells to stop the fire from spreading if a fire broke out.
Every hour, Salin would send the metal aircraft to set fire. This was also a strategy of underestimating the enemy. After a few rounds of harassment, the two chief judges were not too worried about the attack in Daliang City.
If Rex had not decided to ask Holy Rock City and Alchemy City for help, Salin would have released all the Primordial Dolls and killed the army of the Inquisition.
But it was not worth it. The Primordial Dolls had level-nine souls and level-ten bodies, but they could only exert the power of level-eight. Salin needed time to train these Primordial Dolls into level-nine elite soldiers. If he fought with the army of the Inquisition now, the Primordial Dolls that he lost might never be repaired.
His Primordial Dolls could not be replaced if they were lost, but the army of the Vatican was almost endless. Salin did not think he could kill the two hundred million people of the Tanggulas Empire.
If he really angered the God of Light, the God of Light could turn the entire Tanggulas Empire into a virtual Holy Kingdom at the risk of losing the faith of this dimension. He could then sacrifice all the believers and erase Salin from this dimension.
The slacking of the army of the Inquisition gave Garin and Neris a chance.
Neris went down from the other side of the city, found a place where there was no one, and asked Garin to carry her to the east of the city. Garin did not refuse. The giant bone crystal was enough for her to use for more than a month. At the same time, this kind of consumption could also improve her understanding of earth magic.
Garin was truly powerful. In an environment lacking in elements, she was able to take Nelis along with her just by extracting the energy from the giant's bone crystal on her magic staff. Her body turned into a shadow and she leaped on the ground as if she was flying. To be precise, when Carrie ran on the ground, she was faster than all the Magic Shooters who could fly.
As she ran, she gradually sensed the power sealed in the earth, resonating with the giant's bone crystal on her wand. Although she still could not borrow the power of the earth, she was more familiar with her magic, and the details were smoother.
The two of them arrived at the east side of the city. Jia Lin did not stop. Instead, she rammed her head into the other ear of the giant. There was more than ten meters of soil in the ear hole. Even if other mages didn't get hurt when they bumped into it, they would vomit from the shock. However, Carrie smashed a hole in the soil and rushed in with Nelis.
Because the Inquisition's army was afraid of the boulders that were randomly thrown from the top of the city wall, they only stationed their cavalry near the city wall. The two of them rammed into the other ear hole of the giant statue, which alerted the Inquisition's army.
However, it would take time to mobilize the army and those strong mages. Nelis and Carrie had already gone deep into the giant statue. The Inquisition's army could only make up for it. They hurriedly gathered manpower to guard this side against the appearance of the petrified gods.
After entering the statue, Jia Lin stopped and said to Nelis, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Your mask," Nelis replied with a grin.
"Impossible. That was a gift from my teacher." Jia Lin refused flatly.
"It doesn't matter. Help me create a narrow passage." Nelis ordered. Jia Lin pointed her magic staff forward. On the wall of the huge cave that was more than twenty meters wide, yellow crystals immediately appeared and continued to expand. Finally, it formed a passage with a diameter of only about six meters.
"I tried my best," Jia Lin said with a sigh.
"Thank you," Nelis replied hypocritically.
Jia Lin suddenly felt a little upset and even nauseous. She would never do such a hypocritical thing before, but Nelis said it skillfully and deliberately let her know that she was not sincere.
Jia Lin said coldly, "You're just a contracted creature. Salin doesn't allow you to kill me. What can you do to me?"
Nelis turned back, smiled at Jia Lin, and said, "I don't know, Jia Lin. You have to try it. Don't rush."
Nelis's smile made Jia Lin a little dizzy. Nelis's smile was beautiful to the bone, but with a cold murderous intent. Jia Lin could only comfort herself in her heart. This demon spoke so frankly, but it was a sign that she did not dare to make a move.
Jia Lin judged Nelis's behavior with her common sense. According to the principles of the contract, contracted creatures could not disobey the master's orders. She did not know that Salin's two contracted creatures could not only disobey his orders, but also actively suppressed their own power and did not advance in order to not lose the soul contract.
Jia Lin could not imagine such a strange thing even if she racked her brain.
Nelis did not have time to bicker with Jia Lin, nor did she bother to do so. Jia Lin was not a winged skeleton, so there was no need to bicker. She took out the 12 Movements of Purgatory, opened a spatial door, and threw the Book of Summoning she had snatched from the Fourth Inquisitor into it. There were thousands of demonic runes densely written on the Book of Summoning, but Nelis had barely suppressed the power inside and hidden it in a dimensional stone.
After leaving the dimensional stone, the Book of Summoning immediately collapsed the thousands of demonic runes and released an intense light.
The brand new space was only dozens of cubic meters in size. The power of the Book of Summoning burst forth and immediately expanded the space. At this moment, the Stone God also found the exit and rushed out of the passage Jia Lin had created.
The Stone God directly rushed into Nelis's 12 Movements of Purgatory. The light of the Book of Summoning immediately melted the hard shell on the surface of the Stone God's body. The core of the Stone God let out a loud explosion before turning into a smoky energy that was absorbed into the Book of Summoning.
The faith of the God of Light had two completely different sides. On one side, he used the kindness and compassion of living beings to spread his teachings. On the other side, the God of Light was tyrannical and domineering. The divinity of light was extremely exclusive. Once this was exposed and his disguise was torn, the God of Light would kill all the other gods.
The Book of Summoning vividly displayed the characteristics of the God of Light. When someone was controlling it, the Light of Summoning could confuse someone with a strong will like Nelis and almost purify her. When the Book of Summoning lost its master's control, it would become an extremely violent killing machine when it encountered other gods.
There were millions of Stone Gods in the periphery of the cemetery. When these Stone Gods rushed into the 12 Movements of Purgatory, they were immediately killed by the Book of Summoning and absorbed their energy. Even their souls could not escape. The Book of Summoning absorbed the power of the Stone Gods. When it could not withstand it anymore, it would release it and expand the space of the 12 Movements of Purgatory.
The six-meter-wide cave happened to face the spatial door of the 12 Movements of Purgatory.
Nelis calmly watched as the Stone Gods rushed into the 12 Movements of Purgatory crazily and were killed and assimilated by the Book of Summoning. Without the control of the Fourth Inquisitor, the Book of Summoning didn't know how to control itself at all. As long as a Stone God appeared, it would definitely bloom with light and kill the Stone God.
Those who awakened from the Stone God's slumber were all low-level existences, only level-eight or level-nine existences. Even a peak level-nine existence like Nelis could not resist this equipment. It was more than enough to kill these Gods who had just awakened. Moreover, as more and more Stone Gods died, the power of the Book of Summoning also increased.
The Stone Gods that entered later might be stronger, but their power was far inferior to the rapidly expanding Book of Summoning.
Any equipment had a limit. If the Book of Summoning had an Artifact Spirit or someone controlling it, it would definitely not keep absorbing power. Instead, it would choose to slowly digest and absorb power. It would first increase its level before attempting to devour more enemies.
However, the owner of the Book of Summoning had died too quickly, and there was no Artifact Spirit controlling it. When it encountered other Gods, it could not restrain itself at all. This space also expanded and gradually reached the limit of the 12 Movements of Purgatory.
In a space that was 36 miles long and 36 miles high, the Book of Summoning quietly floated in midair, releasing an unparalleled light. The only thing that was not affected was the nothingness of the 12 Movements of Purgatory that divided the space.
After this space expanded to its limit, the power that the Book of Summoning had absorbed no longer had a place to release it. The pale yellow book also began to expand.
In the end, the Book of Summoning could not withstand the huge power, and a phantom appeared on the pages. This phantom was more than 200 meters tall, and its entire body emitted a holy light. It held a scepter in its hand and looked around with an extremely angry expression on its face.
"Who is it? Who imprisoned my will!? " This phantom roared angrily. Wherever the scepter in its hand pointed, the Stone Gods that rushed toward it turned into ashes one by one.
If there were believers of the Vatican here, they would be surprised to see that this phantom, which was more than 200 meters tall, looked no different from the statue of the God of Light.
After a loud bang, the Book of Summoning shattered under the feet of the incarnation of the God of Light. The phantom's face revealed a look of horror, and it did not have the majesty of a god at all.
Its scepter pointed to the sky and released a holy light in an attempt to break through the barrier. However, the holy light refracted back and was absorbed by its body. It really wanted to stop this kind of energy absorption, but now it was too late for it to change anything. If it had woken up earlier and controlled the Book of Summoning, the ending would definitely not have been so tragic.
The increase in power was something that the will projection of the God of Light could not bear. It tore at its body in pain.
