To others, magic scrolls were very precious, but to Salin, they were common consumables.
This was because he had obtained too many star pattern papers in the Abyss King City. These were all too common for astrologers. Although they were expensive for ancient mages, they were not unaffordable.
At least in ancient times, scrolls were more common consumables.
Salin seemed to have lived in the ancient times and had a lot of star pattern papers. These astral papers were distributed by him to mages who were close to him, or to be used to train mages in magic.
Writing scrolls was a part of learning magic. The star pattern paper's success rate was almost impossible to fail, which made it fatally attractive to mages.
Salin distributed star pattern papers and collected scrolls. Countless mages were willing to work for him. Mages were willing to pay for Salin, not to mention receiving money.
This was like letting mages familiarize themselves with a slightly unfamiliar spell for free, and they would definitely learn something.
Mages would gain almost nothing if they failed in writing scrolls. Only when they succeeded would they be of greater help. Since Salin had star pattern papers, mages would make scrolls for him for free.
Salin did not take money. This was a benefit of being close to mages. Normal people would not have the right to make scrolls for Salin even if they wanted to.
Thus, Salin took out a stack of scrolls, all of them level-nine spells. He opened them one by one, lowered his altitude, and threw them at a distance of eight hundred meters.
The level-ten mage was injured, and the high-level leaders of the knights were all killed. At this time, only Dinicio was left to resist.
Salin knew that the power contained in the three divine artifacts was limited, and the number of scrolls he had was enough to drive Dinicio crazy. He threw out level-nine spells as if they were free.
If it were any other mage, at Salin's level, they could only release twenty-four level-nine scrolls. But with Salin's spiritual power, if he continuously released level-nine scrolls, he could throw more than three thousand.
The Ring of Universe expanded Salin's spiritual power by sixty-four times.
As the level-nine spells poured down, Dinicio had no choice but to put up a defensive domain. If he did not defend, all his knights would die.
The 360 evil angels born from the Flower of Evil rushed out of the domain and pounced at Salin.
With a smile, Salin summoned 360 Desolate Puppets and sent them to meet the enemy head-on. Both sides were Level 9 creatures. The Evil Angel wielded a giant scimitar, while the Desolate Puppet was clad in Tainted Blood Armor and wielded a seven-meter-long spear.
Puppets could be repaired and angels could be resurrected. This kind of battle was just a waste of time.
"Dinicio, how does it feel to be hunted?" Salin did not forget to taunt him. His subordinates were still chasing after the knights. Although the demons and puppets had suffered greater losses, these knights were the elites of the Church.
Dinicio's heart ached. He shouted, "Salin, you will …"
"I will destroy your faith!" Above Salin's head, starlight flickered in the puppet star.
The Star Prayer Spell neutralized the Chief Judge's prophecy spell.
Level 9 scrolls were thrown out one by one, creating ripples on the Pope's domain. Spells of the ninth rank were incapable of breaking through the domain of the pope. The pope was an existence of the eleventh rank.
It was just that the Pope's domain also had to protect the cardinals. Salin's attack was not aimed at Dinicio either. This caused Dinicio's mental energy to be consumed many times more.
Salin's puppet star could not only provide puppets to fight for Salin, but it could also increase the effectiveness of astrology and earth magic. This equipment was formed after Salin's domain power was stripped away. It did not take much effort for Salin to control it.
"Dinicio, do you want to fight a battle of attrition with me? You have the Tanggulas Empire to back you up, but I also have two countries to squander. Otherwise, why don't you stop here and we'll have a competition. Let's see if it's you who has accumulated the wealth of a thousand years, or if it's me who has more money. "
Under Salin's incessant provocation, Dinicio was truly angry. However, he also knew that if he was angry, there would be openings. Salin was an expert at seizing small openings to increase his chances of victory.
He had seen most of Salin's attacks. If his subordinates had not made mistakes, he would not have lost so many experts. Although this would not happen again in the future, he had already lost cardinals and sword saints. This made Dinicio's heart bleed.
He was so stupid to have been frightened by Salin. If he had fought back then, or entered the energy barrier, he would not have suffered such heavy losses.
The Flower of Sin spun and provided energy to the Evil Angels. These Evil Angels were not as strong as Salin's Desolate Puppets, but they could be repaired by the Flower of Sin after they were injured. This was a troublesome matter.
To repair Salin's Desolate Puppets, Salin had to slowly inject his own star power.
Nicholas did not stop. The Flower of Sin spun, and at the same time, moved the entire team. Salin's attacks not only included level-9 magic, but also threw huge rocks.
Seeing that he could not break through the Pope's domain, Salin was not in a hurry. He summoned more than a hundred puppets, each equipped with a large magic cannon.
This time, Salin was not in a hurry. The large magic cannons fired slowly, only three times per minute.
These magic cannons were not of high level. They were only level-9 attacks, but the power they released was equivalent to dozens of level-9 magic attacks at the same time. However, there was no qualitative change.
With the addition of the magic cannons, Dinicio felt that the power in his God's Grace Scepter was depleting much faster. These magic cannons fired three times per minute. Although they would still be damaged, that would only happen after a few hundred shots.
More than a hundred magic cannons could release tens of thousands of attacks. This was much more terrifying than level-9 scrolls.
"Your Holiness, you should leave alone. That Salin can't deal with you!" the Pope's subordinate, a level-10 Cardinal who had survived said. These Cardinals were heavily injured and temporarily could not use any skills. They estimated that this time, they would die here. They just did not know if their souls would enter Heaven after they died in this place.
Seeing that the Cardinal had said so, how could Dinicio abandon his subordinates? Moreover, he was still receiving power from the Cardinals to maintain the domain. If he escaped alone, he would not be able to borrow this power.
"I will definitely not abandon you!"
"Dinicio, forget it. If I could kill you right now, would you abandon your subordinates and escape? I know you have an escape skill, and you've already prepared it, right? "
"Salin, don't be so happy with your words."
"Dinicio, I'm happy too. I didn't think that you would still not dare to come up and fight me after advancing to level-11. After I advance, will you run away like a dog the moment you see me? "
Salin's words were not something a mage should say. It was also not something a noble or royal should say. Such vulgarity made him sound more like a merchant from Scotia.
So Dinicio was really angry. How did he end up in this state because of this kind of person?
Salin was not in a hurry. His lightning icicles could not be restored yet. There was no need to use level-10 or level-11 scrolls for long-range attacks. Anyway, he had more level-9 scrolls, and some of them were obtained from the Grandmasters.
To a Grandmaster, level-9 scrolls were something to be rewarded to his soldiers. One could imagine how many such scrolls there were in the hands of the Grandmasters. He was in charge of the army's logistics. Every time he gave a battalion's logistics, he would have to give out tens of thousands of level-9 scrolls. The consumption of scrolls for an army on a plane expedition was extremely high.
The number of people in Dinicio's team was gradually decreasing. Nelis let Sue attack while she held the Grey Memory to guard against the hidden experts among the knights. The other two teams were the same. Lower-level people led the army and chased after the knights. The higher-level experts were watching from the back to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Dinicio shrunk his domain to the minimum. He only wanted to protect the mages. The knights were in trouble.
Anyone who encountered such a situation would be very depressed. Dinicio had a powerful divine weapon, and his level was higher than Salin's. However, Salin's skill ignored level. Dinicio did not want to try the stab of the crystal finger.
Instead of fighting Salin alone, Salin used the scrolls to exhaust Dinicio's strength.
Salin was right. He was a nouveau riche, and he was comparing who was wealthier than Dinicio.
"Dinicio, you are not worthy to be my enemy." Salin did not give up. "Because I realized that it is so easy to get rid of your subordinates. The people of Scotia have a saying. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all. "
Salin began to be unscrupulous. He realized that under the cover of the star puppet, it was very easy for him to use the movement skill he got from Garin.
In terms of control, he might not be as meticulous as Garin, but when it came to escaping, it was top-notch.
Dinicio could not catch up to him in this range. He could only use magic to attack from afar. As for his thunder skill, he was not afraid of Dinicio's prophecy at all.
"Sir, don't worry about us. As long as you can go back and ask the Oracle to destroy Metatlin City to avenge us!" The mages urged Dinicio again.
Dinicio felt bitter. He wanted to leave too, but the Elemental Magic Tower blocked the exit. He needed the sacrifice of his subordinates to move the Magic Tower.
But how could he say such words? He would only have a reason to sacrifice these mages when he was in a desperate situation, right?
The Flower of Sin spun. No one dared to stop it. Nelis and the others could only follow behind. That was the power of the Flower of Sin. If Dinicio could completely mobilize it, Salin would have escaped into the energy shield long ago.
The pursuit itself was also tragic. These knights were in a squad of forty, and each of them could suddenly increase their strength by at least one rank. Because of this, thousands of demons had died.
