Salin hesitated and said, "What's the level of the dragon soul in this scroll?"
"Level 16!"
"What's its level now?"
"Level 16!" Inpos said eagerly. "Give me a way to enter the underground warehouse. This scroll is yours. I'll deal with these metal angels. We'll split the loot!"
"What are you looking for?"
"You don't have to worry about it, okay?"
Salin didn't hesitate anymore. If he entered the underground warehouse, dealing with the metal angels would be a problem. He had used up a lot of his lightning balls. He could only use four more today. These four lightning balls were for Salin to save his life.
Inpos was willing to help Salin deal with the metal angels, so Salin didn't mind getting rich.
"Hurry, Alchemy City will react soon. We can only loot two more underground warehouses at most. After that, it'll be a tough battle!" Inpos rarely urged Salin. He didn't care about etiquette anymore. Because of his nervousness, his half-metal face was distorted.
Salin threw the level-11 Dissolution scroll to Inpos. Inpos looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He also had a way to make this, but the success rate was much lower than Salin's. That was because he lacked star pattern paper.
Also, not many mages were willing to learn level-11 Dissolution at level-10. Most would choose a powerful offensive spell.
Salin could have so many Dissolution spells because the mages in Metatlin City had more choices and weren't in a hurry to pursue combat ability.
Inpos didn't attack Alchemy City without a purpose. Seeing that Salin could enter the underground warehouse, he immediately thought of the thing he needed. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Inpos made a prompt decision and took the responsibility of stopping the metal angels. He would rather give Salin half of the loot to find the thing.
"How confident are you?" Salin didn't forget to ask.
"About three warehouses. I have two chances," Inpos said and summoned his Predators. As Inpos spoke, he summoned his Predators. Twelve quick-eyed Predators stood on the metal disc, surrounded Inpos, and rushed to the southeast of the city.
Salin ordered Lawson to focus on the two giant statues. As for the other metal angels, they didn't need to worry about them.
The giant statues were the foundation of Alchemy City. Those metal angels were all summoned. As long as the summoner was not killed, these metal angels would be endless.
With Alchemy City's savings, they would definitely be able to summon enough metal angels.
He wondered what kind of God's Divine Kingdom Alchemy City had gotten their hands on to be able to summon so many angels. Salin had lost all hope of taking down Alchemy City. He only hoped that the Iron-Blood Duke's men could kill as many enemies as possible and plunder as much wealth as possible.
In the core of Alchemy City, there was a huge magic circle flowing with golden liquid. Every half an hour, three metal angels would appear in the magic circle. In the center of the nine Mage Towers, golden liquid continuously emerged from the ground, and the number of metal angels slowly increased. In the Mage Towers, the nine Magicians were extremely anxious.
Their summoning of the metal angel had delayed the repair of the magic amplifiers, but this summoning could not be stopped. While the enemy's casualties were great, the Alchemy City's mages also suffered heavy losses due to the lack of magic amplifiers.
Metal Angel's attacks were ferocious, but he didn't know how to defend his comrades. The mages of Alchemy City might even be accidentally injured by the metal angels. The current situation was basically a three-way battle.
Salin opened up his territory. Although he couldn't control the metal angels' movements, he could sense most of the situation in the entire Alchemy City.
The number of metal angels was increasing. The outer perimeter of Alchemy City was destroyed by the Iron-Blood Duke's large puppets, but the insect angels were fighting inside.
The giant statues and metal angels' attacks couldn't be stopped by the Insect Angel Warriors.
Salin called out to Silva and Neris to follow him. He left the city center and followed behind Inpos. Inpos went straight to an underground warehouse. There were such underground warehouses in Metatlin City, and they were hidden even deeper.
Salin looked at the 12 Predator Warriors beside Inpos. The Predator Warriors controlled by Human Alchemy were usually dumb, and they were much worse than his Ancient Warriors. These 12 Predator Warriors had fierce eyes, and they emitted a cold aura.
"Master, do you think this Inpos is crazy?"
Neris asked behind Salin.
"What do you mean?"
"His soul … is splitting again. If this goes on, even if he has secret skills, he won't be able to control it sooner or later." Neris's green eyes flashed as she looked at Inpos.
Splitting the soul …
Salin remembered the last time he fought with Inpos. He could have killed Inpos, but he still escaped. It seemed that Inpos relied on Soul Splitting.
Neris suddenly used soul communication and said to Salin, "Master, beware of Inpos. When he can't control this skill, even the Iron-Blood Duke won't be safe."
Salin nodded. Inpos had transformed himself into a half-human half-machine for power. Now, he was splitting his soul in an attempt to gain more power. It seemed like he was indeed a bit crazy.
But why would such a calm person like the Iron-Blood Duke use crazy Inpos? Was it just because his alchemy skills were outstanding?
Salin couldn't understand. He also knew that he had Water Flame Alchemy and didn't need anyone's help, so he didn't think Inpos was that important. Perhaps for the Iron-Blood Duke, Inpos' role was irreplaceable.
"This won't do!" The nine mages of the Elemental Hand felt something was wrong. One of them said to his companions, "The metal angel's summoning speed is too slow. By the time it's done, the city will be destroyed!"
"Then what should we do?"
"Why don't we summon the Archangel? He can bring all the angels at the same time!"
"That's too dangerous," a mage immediately objected.
"We can take the opportunity to repair the magic amplifiers. As long as the magic amplifiers are restored, our magic matrixes can be combined to form an Ancient Matrix. By then, we can control the Archangel."
"Everyone, vote. Do you want to summon the Archangel?"
The nine mages also knew that they couldn't delay. The power structure of Alchemy City was controlled by the nine of them. The city core was theirs. And the Elemental Hand was in charge of different mages, so during battles, they couldn't form effective cooperation.
This kind of power structure wasn't much of a problem. It was just that Alchemy City didn't expect that someone could start a war directly within the city.
This was Alchemy City's weakness, and Inpos took advantage of it. As a result, Salin's floating city forcibly sent more than 200,000 insect angel warriors and more than 20,000 predator warriors at the port. Alchemy City's defense was immediately broken, as if it had been attacked.
If the city was attacked from the outside, the current situation wouldn't have happened.
The mages in Alchemy City felt like doomsday had arrived. The only light in the sky was the magic light pouring down from the floating city. At the edge of the city, some mages actually chose to escape.
In the city center, the nine mages of the Elemental Hand contacted each other through the magic matrixes. Each of them wrote down their decision in the magic matrixes.
Five of them agreed to summon the metal angel, and the other four opposed.
"If that's the case, let's do it!" the mage who suggested summoning the Archangel said.
"Sigh, alright …"
A mage who opposed summoning the Archangel said helplessly. The crisis of Alchemy City suddenly erupted, and the few of them were caught unprepared. It just so happened that the magic booster had a problem at this time. It was easy to fix. They just had to do it, and it might not take more than an hour.
But the summoning magic matrixes couldn't be stopped. If they stopped, the summoning matrixes wouldn't stop. If no one was controlling it, the summoning matrixes wouldn't stop until all the magic cores were used up.
This arrangement was to prevent the nine elders from having extra strength to deal with the enemy when they attacked. But now, his hands and feet were tied up. If no one was watching, the magic matrixes might not summon the metal angel, but something more terrifying in the Holy Kingdom.
The summoned creatures in the Holy Kingdom couldn't be sent back. The metal angel could be controlled, but many Holy Race creatures couldn't be controlled. By then, even if the enemy didn't attack, Alchemy City would be finished.
Since the decision was made, the nine mages began to change the summoning incantation. They controlled the puppets to fill the underground magic matrixes with higher-level magic cores.
There were level 10 and 11 metal angels, but the Archangel was definitely level 13. The Archangel was special. Even if it was summoned to the Myers Continent, its strength wouldn't decrease much. It could still be maintained at level 13 and had all the skills of level 13.
The mages of the Elemental Hand didn't expect the Archangel to kill all the enemies. It was just that after summoning the Archangel, the magic matrixes would almost stop working. The nine mages didn't have to guard this place anymore, and they could mobilize their people to fight the enemy.
In the underground magic matrixes, golden liquid surged out and formed a huge hexagram in the core. In the hexagram, the elemental waves had reached a level that was almost out of control. The nine mages carefully maintained the magic matrixes' operation. They had only tried to summon a level 13 creature once before.
In the hexagram, a white palm reached out and stabilized the elements around the hexagram. Then, a white arm reached out as well, and a naked female angel climbed out of the summoning matrixes.
Angels were basically neutral. The so-called male or female was usually a special attribute, and it didn't mean that the angel was really a woman.
