"That's good to hear." Sarlin smiled and summoned the people around him. Neris led them to continue cleaning the ancient battlefields and abandoned cities. Sarlin himself guarded ten miles away from the Dark Primordial Stone, ready to use his Thunder Phantom to destroy the Divine Shadow summoned by the Dark Primordial Stone.
Dinicio was full of regret. Once he entered the Dark Primordial Stone, it would be too difficult for him to get out. Unless Sarlin allowed him to summon the Divine Shadow quietly, he would be trapped in the Dark Primordial Stone until he died.
How could Salin let him summon it successfully? Only the two Oracles would foolishly allow him to complete this task.
The Dark Primordial Stone was like a small mountain, blocking the exit of the Giant's Graveyard. Sarlin covered the Dark Primordial Stone with his domain. The Dark Primordial Stone couldn't dispel Sarlin's domain, but it couldn't stop releasing energy attacks. Sarlin could wait for Dinicio's summoning spell at a farther place.
Once there was a Divine Shadow, Sarlin would release a Thunder Phantom. This thing only had offensive power in this kind of situation.
Sarlin remembered a saying: there was no such thing as an ineffective spell.
Dinicio put himself in a desperate situation. Recalling the process from beginning to end, Dinicio realized that even if he didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't end up like this. As if it was fate, he struggled fiercely, only to fall deeper into a quagmire.
There were a few times when he made a wrong choice.
Was Sarlin lucky, or did someone help him?
Even the God of Light didn't have the Fate Skill. Only a profession above level 16 could do it.
At this point, Dinicio had no other choice. He had to keep summoning Diablo, which would consume the energy in his three artifacts. Now, it was a competition of who could last until the end. If Sarlin couldn't release his spell, he could only watch Diablo take shape and kill all the creatures in the Graveyard.
Dinicio gritted his teeth. He didn't believe that a level 10 mage could last longer than a level 11 mage with three artifacts. Only Sarlin could destroy the summoning spell. No matter how many people he had, they couldn't get close to the Dark Primordial Stone.
Of course, Salin understood this. He knew that he couldn't keep using Thunder Phantom with his spirit power recovery speed, but he still had the Thunder Dragon Spear, which could also stop Diablo from appearing. Using the Thunder Dragon Spear would give him time to recover his spiritual force.
If Dinicio wanted to exhaust his spiritual energy, he would have to exhaust all of his divine crystals first.
Salin wasn't in a hurry at all. He slowly studied the Diablo phantom.
Diablo was a human-shaped god that was more than 30 meters tall. This godly spirit's face was cold and stern, and he did not look very evil. However, he had three arms, and the third arm was holding a large snake.
On the other two arms, there were two weapons. One was a war hammer, and the other was a square shield.
A god who loved to fight was not easy to deal with. Salin made up his mind. No matter what, he couldn't let Diablo come out. Although he still had a way out, he could enter the energy shield and be protected by Rex.
As time passed, Salin calculated that Dinicio's summoning speed was getting faster and faster. It wasn't that Dinicio's strength had increased. Instead, Dinicio was testing Salin's power.
Salin's calculation ability was stronger than Dinicio's. He calculated that unless Dinicio could summon a god using zhen, his spiritual force could last for a few days and nights.
Salin took out the Thunder Dragon Spear and started to refine it again.
The runes on the Thunder Dragon Spear were too simple. He had 360 million lightning runes now, so he could naturally upgrade the Thunder Dragon Spear.
The Thunder Dragon Spear was used to shoot icicles, but Salin didn't need it anymore. He knew how to condense a ball of lightning. Using the Thunder Dragon Spear to shoot a ball of lightning was a fatal attack.
Salin had to consider whether he should keep the icicles or not.
Releasing a ball of lightning would put too much pressure on the Thunder Dragon Spear, and it would take too long to recover. Salin was also afraid of refining the Thunder Dragon Spear into a piece of equipment like his family's badge. He couldn't afford to use it once every half a year.
Salin calmed down and took out the level-19 Star Condensation Needle. He started to draw a star map inside the Thunder Dragon Spear. This was a necessary procedure to stabilize the Thunder Dragon Spear. The materials of the Thunder Dragon Spear were already top-notch level-16 materials after refinement. Adding in the star map and star runes, releasing a ball of lightning would not put too much pressure on the equipment.
The power of the stars in the Star Condensation Needle was poured into the star map as if it didn't cost anything. Salin had already decided to give this level-19 Star Condensation Needle to Cain. There was no need to keep the power inside.
Cain only wanted this needle, not the power contained within it. With this Star Condensing Needle, Cain would be able to break away from the Astrology Tower and enter a higher-level Crystal Wall System. It would not be too difficult for Cain to recover his human body.
The shape of the Thunder Dragon Spear didn't change much. Star runes and star maps were inscribed inside the Thunder Dragon Spear. Salin was trembling with fear, afraid of destroying the properties of the materials. If not for the Thunder Dragon's innate ability to control electricity, this Thunder Dragon Spear wouldn't have been forged.
If the materials were destroyed, it would be difficult for Salin to find the same materials again.
Salin refined 360 star maps and inserted them into the throat of the Thunder Dragon Spear. These 360 star maps used up more than half of the energy of the level-19 Star Condensation Needle. Starlight flowed on the Thunder Dragon Spear. Hundreds of millions of lightning runes flew out of Salin's eyes and disappeared into the Thunder Dragon Spear.
The original magic patterns were modified. Salin reforged the Thunder Dragon Spear according to the magic formation created by the Thunder Dragon he had raised. This time, the water flames wrapped the entire spear inside. Salin only poured in a little Six Elemental Heavy Water.
A life seemed to be born inside the Thunder Dragon Spear. Salin could feel the sound of thunder. It wasn't coming from him. Salin hurriedly poured the Creation Liquid into the water flames. This thing could catalyze the creation of a weapon spirit.
Roar!
Inside the Thunder Dragon Spear, the shadow of a huge Thunder Dragon appeared. This Thunder Dragon was more than six hundred meters long, and it roared in Salin's lightning domain. Salin looked at the weapon spirit he had created. Without hesitation, he took out more Six Elemental Heavy Water from his necklace and fed it to the Thunder Dragon shadow.
The Thunder Dragon suddenly burrowed into the Thunder Dragon Spear. It was almost impossible for this shadow to become a real Thunder Dragon. Salin didn't mind. He saw that the Thunder Dragon Spear had completely turned into that shadow.
The two sharp horns on its head formed a permanent octagonal magic array. The center of this octagonal magic formation was where the ball of lightning was released. The mouth of the Thunder Dragon Spear still released ice cones of lightning. This didn't change. Even the number of ice cones didn't increase.
Salin was very satisfied. It was good enough that he didn't destroy this thing.
A silver ball of lightning appeared between the two horns of the Thunder Dragon Spear. This ball of lightning was too small. It was probably only the size of a pine cone. On the other hand, the ball of lightning created by Salin's Thunder Dragon Spear was the size of a watermelon.
The difference in energy between the two types of lightning wasn't small. Salin was still satisfied. Although the large ball of lightning was powerful, it was still a waste of energy. Although this ball of lightning was small, it was enough to kill a powerful enemy. The most powerful part of lightning was its laws. No matter how little energy it contained, it still surpassed most spells that Salin knew.
At the very least, the power contained in this ball of lightning the size of a pine cone surpassed the level-13 divine spell attacks that Salin had seen.
He just didn't know how fast it was.
The scales on the Thunder Dragon Spear were still growing. Four dragon claws wrapped around Salin's arm. Salin felt as if a Thunder Dragon had grown out of his arm. This feeling of being connected by blood made him even more familiar with the laws of lightning.
As for the weapon spirit, Salin tried to summon it, but it didn't seem to have any intelligence. To use this equipment, he still had to rely on his own mental strength to control it.
Fortunately, Salin had time. He didn't expect to be able to forge satisfactory equipment at level-10.
Holding a Divine Crystal in his hand, Salin quickly recovered his mental strength. This time, he had used more than half of his mental strength. The shadow of Diablo kept appearing in the Dark Primordial Stone, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
After the scales on the Thunder Dragon Spear finished growing, Salin raised his arm and shot out a silver ball of lightning the size of a pine cone.
Under the control of Salin's mental strength, the silver ball of lightning flew in a straight line. It was much faster, almost as fast as an ordinary person's bow and arrow.
This silver ball of lightning didn't dissipate even after being shot for five kilometers. Salin controlled it and even made some turns in the air. There were benefits to being slow. It was very easy for Salin to control this lightning ball. Moreover, when he controlled it, his mental strength wouldn't feel like it was burning.
After all, it was a piece of equipment with a weapon spirit, and its effects were obviously better than before.
Since Diablo had fallen, the Dark Primordial Stone could only summon the law power that had formed in the past. It could also simulate Diablo's strength and attributes. This Dark Primordial Stone was even more stable than a Divinity. Billions of years ago, Diablo had been born from this stone.
