The crystal armor's design was extremely exquisite, but this armor was mainly aimed at the meteor hammer's attack. This close-range air cutting was sharper than the golden sword saint's sword energy. But it was not durable enough. If it couldn't cut the enemy in an instant and was defended by equipment like the crystal armor, it would be weak in the follow-up.
But generally speaking, armors would not be designed like the Winged Skeleton. This was because the Winged Skeleton's armor was not very effective against ordinary physical attacks.
Just as the skeleton and angel were sweeping the demons with their hammers, a big furry hand stretched out from the black vortex and grabbed Raphael's meteor hammer. A violent explosion occurred inside Raphael's meteor hammer, and a strong air current gushed out from the gaps in the meteor hammer, breaking free from the big hand.
The owner of the big hand seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the bloody palm stretched out again. This time, the whole arm flashed out of the black vortex.
Raphael retreated and dodged the second grab. She was shocked. The enemy this time was at least similar to her in martial skills, and she couldn't dodge the first grab.
The wound on the big hand healed directly. Although it didn't resist the attack of the meteor hammer, it didn't fall apart. Raphael retracted her meteor hammer, and the spear in her right hand stabbed out, piercing a hole in the big hand with one spear. The big hand quickly shriveled, and the six evil eyes on Raphael's spear were even stranger than the big hand, directly absorbing the evil power in the big hand.
This was because Raphael's spear level was not high enough. If Nelis's gray memory was in her hands, with one stab, half of the owner of the big hand would have disappeared.
Nelis couldn't exert the power of the gray memory because her own level was not high enough.
Even so, no demons appeared in the black vortex for the time being. The Winged Skeleton's sledgehammer danced wildly, and every time it attacked, the explosive power could cut the demons near the hammer head into pieces.
If it was Salin, he would be puzzled. The power of magic paid attention to balance. Although the Bloodtear Stone was extremely precious in the Myers Continent, it was everywhere in the Undead Plane.
This cheap thing exploded in the meteor hammer, and the power it emitted had exceeded the value of the Bloodtear Stone itself.
It was like a level-nine magic core releasing the energy of a level-eleven spell.
When it came to things that could not be explained, one had to research them. However, Salin did not research the meteor hammer. This was because the Wing Skeletons rarely used this weapon, and he did not have much time. He had been carrying out all sorts of battles, experiments, and designs. A Mage's mind was always full of creativity. Salin did not notice this detail, not because he had not thought of it, but because it was an accident.
The meteor hammer swung, and the Winged Skeleton spread its wings, rampaging through the hall. Raphael, on the other hand, intercepted the devils that rushed out of the black vortex.
After more than an hour, the battle finally came to an end.
The black vortex slowly became smaller and finally dissipated. On the ground, there was a large formation made up of the symbols on the devil's body. The Winged Skeleton put away its meteor hammer, lowered its head, and observed the array.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Raphael was curious. What was there to study about this array? It was similar to an Elemental Mage's Teleportation Circle. If Salin were to do it himself, he would be able to design it too.
"Demons don't have words. Such a complicated thing isn't something a demon can understand."
"Evil God, those are the words of the Evil God."
A memory popped up in Raphael's mind. She said to the Winged Skeleton, "The Evil God once conquered many divine kingdoms and had his own kingdom. Later … he was killed. The current Evil God might be resurrected or an heir."
The Winged Skeleton simply used a crystal to record all the symbols on the array, and then used the Scythe of Nether God to destroy the array. Only then did it and Raphael search for the passage up.
The Winged Skeleton knew that the floating city was above. There were stable coordinates in the central Elemental Magic Tower, and Salin could set up a Teleportation Circle to go back at any time. There was no need for his protection here. In the entire underground city, the devils did not have the upper hand yet. Qin Yin's soldiers retreated to defend, and the outer part of the underground city was occupied by the devils. It was meaningless.
These devils were not undead, and they were even inferior to demons. Because devils were hungry quickly, they needed to eat constantly. Now, these devils were robbing humans to store food.
A human intermediate Swordsman could go without food for two to three days, and a demon could go without food for a month. But devils had to eat at least once a day, or their combat ability would decline.
Salin discussed with Ojavis how to exorcise the devils in the magic grid, but the pressure of the devils suddenly disappeared from the magic gate, and the gate closed. For a moment, the core of the underground city fell silent.
In the central room, the Mages turned on the magic array, filling the room with 3D images so that Ojavis could see the situation outside. The magic grid slowly began to operate. Salin felt that it was similar to his Elemental Magic Tower.
Outside the magic gate, there were corpses everywhere, some of which were trying to piece themselves together. Everyone was already used to such a scene. The endurance of the heart would constantly grow stronger.
"Inside the magic gate, Sephiroth rested and watched the Mages install the large puppets. The large puppets were almost installed. All devils who wanted to attack the magic grid had to go through the magic gate. Any attack from any direction would eventually return to the gate.
This was also the magic of the magic grid. If the underground city was just dug underground, then any country could build it, and it wouldn't be the last barrier of Holy Rock City.
Since there was no need to fight, Salin asked about the magic clocks.
The magic clocks of Holy Rock City were a set of equipment that Salin was very envious of. If he could transfer them to the floating city and integrate them with his thunder, he would be almost safe on the Myers Continent.
Speaking of this, Salin learned that there were a total of 24 magic clocks. After one was destroyed, their power was reduced by dozens of times, and they lost their function as city defense equipment.
Not one less, that was what Ojavis said.
Salin wanted to see the remaining magic clocks, but he learned that only 18 of them were taken back in the battle. The remaining five were taken by the enemy.
Salin was very depressed. These things could be taken? How did those devils know to take the magic clocks?
"It was Alchemy City's idea. I think they've been after this thing for a long time," Rex said.
The remaining eighteen magic clocks were in her God Sifting Ring. However, there wasn't enough space in the magic grid for Salin to study. Rex could only take out the magic clocks one by one and put them into Nelis's 12 Movements of Purgatory.
When Salin entered the Purgatory space, the 18 magic clocks floated around him and slowly rotated. Salin observed carefully. This magic clock was six meters tall, and it was bronze. The button on it was the image of a six-winged flying snake. It was cast together with the magic clock.
The body of the magic clock was cast with red magic runes. Salin's Elemental Eyes looked over. The runes were layered. The magic clock was less than a foot thick, but it could overlap tens of thousands of runes.
Without a magic matrix, this magic clock was so powerful because it released the power of rules.
Each magic clock represented a part of the elemental rules. If 24 were gathered, the magic clock could be operated. This was more advanced than his own magic net principle, but the magic clock was targeted at Mages. Within the range of the magic clock, it was as if Mages were fighting enemies in a magic tower.
This bell could increase the combat power of Mages, and it could not be interrupted when Mages cast spells.
Moreover, according to Salin's calculations, there was a large amount of magic hidden in this magic clock. If the person who rang the magic clock knew how to use it, they would release powerful magic, regardless of the level of the person who rang it.
This was a set of equipment that could allow low-level Mages to release high-level magic. Salin was shocked.
It didn't make sense! If that was the case, why did they need Magic Shooters? They could just let magic apprentices fight. With Metatlin City's ability, they could nurture millions of magic apprentices every year.
That wasn't the point. More importantly, there was something hanging inside the magic clock. This thing was pale gold, the size of a standard lantern, and it emitted a soft glow. The energy contained in this hanging object far exceeded the dragon crystal Salin used.
This was a substance that could automatically recover energy. Salin couldn't tell what it was. The power of the magic clock came from this substance. If he could have such a substance, although the perpetual magic motion machine couldn't run forever, it wouldn't be a problem to run for hundreds of thousands of years.
After leaving the Purgatory space, Rex smiled. "Salin, how do you feel?"
"I don't understand."
"Actually, this is just a replica. The real magic clock has long since been taken to another plane. Otherwise, the people of Alchemy City wouldn't have been able to destroy it. "
Salin suddenly remembered about the higher-level crystal wall system. His Universe Ring came from another crystal wall system. Even Shui Yan couldn't deal with it.
But the material of the replica was already so powerful. Could it be that the ancestor of the Glücos Family had obtained another secret skill of the crystal wall system, and was able to replicate this?
But it wasn't enough to just have the skill. This kind of equipment needed suitable materials, and there were almost no substitutes. Perhaps there were some special materials in the Glücos Family's warehouse.
"Salin, you can study it after I die." Ojarvis interrupted Salin's thoughts. "Look, there are more and more devils around. Those few …"
Ojarvis pointed at the devils in the magic projection. These devils wore strangely shaped armor. The armor was silver-grey, and the long horns on the helmets were the devils' own, piercing through the top of the helmets. There weren't many of these devils. There were only about a dozen of them in the entire underground city.
