[The first update, today's fourth update]
It wasn't that no one wanted to escape, but Salin's Lightning Warriors were blocking the perimeter. The Lightning Stars in the sky constantly released electric attacks. These electric attacks were so fast that it was difficult to dodge. After hitting a target, those below Level 6 would immediately faint. Those above Level 6 would have to depend on their equipment. Those with good equipment would be able to resist for a while, while those with slightly worse equipment would be paralyzed.
The only outcome of being paralyzed in battle was death.
It wasn't easy to kill Faka. Faka had a divine weapon that even Salin didn't know about. No one knew the attributes of Faka's equipment.
He couldn't know the attributes of the enemy's equipment. At the very least, he had to ensure that his secret wasn't discovered for the time being. Salin knew that Faka didn't know about his advancement, let alone Raphael's power.
Besides, he had the artifact spirit of the magic amplifier and the invisible dagger. If Faka didn't know about this, he would have a much higher chance of killing this powerful mage.
If anyone escaped from here, Faka might be able to deduce their combat power.
That was why Salin wanted to kill them all and not let a single soldier escape the battlefield.
Raphael kept an eye on the high-level mages, leaving the low-level warriors and ascetics to the Thunder Warriors. Salin silently restored the Magic String. He thought to himself, Rafael's Crystal Finger is still the best. As long as it hits the target, the enemy will definitely die.
The strongest mage in the team was also killed by his finger. The price he paid was only the loss of half of his magic strings, which could be replenished in about an hour.
It seemed that this Crystal Finger skill could only be used when he reached a higher level. Right now, it was a sneak attack against a strong enemy. It couldn't be used frequently.
Now that Salin had advanced to level-11, he could vaguely feel the magical effects of this Crystal Finger. It was definitely not as simple as being able to destroy everything. As for the other attributes that the crystal referred to, he would probably have to advance to level 13 or above before he would know.
Rafael was definitely not a Level Ten Magister.
At this time, Salin was glad that although he had the family crest and the Thunder Dragon Spear, he did not neglect to cultivate the Crystal Finger skill. This kind of skill was similar to a secret technique. It was powerful but had many restrictions. However, when cultivated to a high level, it would be the pinnacle of magic. It was irreplaceable.
The Thunder Dragon Spear was indeed mysterious, but there would come a day when Salin would have to give up on this equipment and rely on himself to cast Thunder Icicles. At that time, his thunder magic would be considered to have achieved small success. As for his Crystal Finger, he already had a lot of experience and could be considered to have achieved small success. Once he made a breakthrough, he would possess incomparably valiant strength.
At that time, the restrictions of the Magic Strings would no longer exist. The skill created by Rafael could be considered to have been carried forward.
At this time, Salin recalled that when he saw Rafael's corpse, the power in the corpse of this person who had been suppressed by the Divine Seal for thousands of years was still stronger than his own.
Unfortunately, such a genius had to suppress his strength in order to survive in the Myers Continent.
When Rafael found this Half Plane, it was probably too late. Otherwise, he could have continued to advance in this Half Plane without any rules and restrictions, and wouldn't have died.
The teasing of fate caused Rafael to die gloomily in his own Magic Tower despite his great wisdom and strength, unable to go any further. Being born at the wrong time was a portrayal of Rafael.
If Rafael had been born more than a thousand years later, he would have caught up with the loosening of the power of the Myers Continent. Naturally, he would have been able to travel between the two planes, continuously improve his strength, and advance before all the mages of the Myers Continent.
Salin put aside these thoughts and began to determine where he was. This was a flat ground at the foot of a hill. Behind him, the temperature had obviously increased. It might be the volcanic area of the Half Plane. He flew up and looked at the other side of the hill from high up in the sky. There was already a forest a hundred miles away.
His Elemental Eyes couldn't see further, but he could already confirm that this forest was the one that he and Rex had passed through. However, there were no traces of fire at the edge of the forest. From the information that was continuously sent back from the Half Plane, he could tell that the forest was growing at a terrifying speed. It had already reached a width of a thousand miles.
Silva and his teacher had arrived at the Half Plane through the teleportation array, so they would definitely be in Rafael's Magic Tower.
Rafael's Magic Tower had been restored to its combat function by the mages of Serrig Island. His teacher was a level-11 Magister. In the Magic Tower, even if Faka brought a large number of troops, they wouldn't be breached immediately.
Besides, there was still Silva. Silva was a level-10 Nature Priest. His strength was so strong that even a giant dragon couldn't compare to him. With Silva around, no one who attacked the Magic Tower could resist Silva's attack in a narrow area.
Salin judged in his heart and temporarily gave up the idea of flying to the Magic Tower immediately.
The battle on the battlefield was nearing its end. Salin was high up in the sky, using magic to hunt the remaining defeated soldiers. The destruction of the Vatican's army could be said to be very unjust because Salin suddenly appeared behind the army. The strongest mage was ambushed by Salin's Crystal Finger and lost his life on the spot.
Then, the commander made some mistakes in his command, which was why they were all wiped out by Salin.
It should be noted that it would take nearly half an hour for Salin's Lightning Warriors to form an encirclement. Such a long time was enough for many people to escape.
Salin cautiously let the Lightning Warriors take away all the corpses and clean up the battlefield. Then, Salin used the Lightning Stars to cast the Purification Spell, destroying all the information that might remain in the vicinity. Then, he put away the Lightning Stars and led Raphael in the direction of the forest.
Around the forest, there were already millions of Faka's troops. These millions of troops were trying to break through the forest and enter the protection range of the Magic Tower.
Rafael's Magic Tower was built on a high mountain, and around the high mountain was the area where Salin's immigrants lived.
The Vatican's army suffered heavy losses in the forest. In the forest, there were a large number of magical beasts. These magical beasts were not similar to those on the Myers Continent. They were very fierce, but they didn't attack each other. They had a weak sense of territory and would only attack humans who entered.
The skills of these magical beasts were also quite complicated. The mages didn't have the habits of mages. If they dissected these magical beasts, they would find that there were magic patterns or magic arrays in their skulls that weren't natural.
These magical beasts were created by Rafael, and they would degenerate on the Myers Continent. They could only survive in this continuously growing Demiplane. These magical beasts were also the guardians of the Magic Tower.
When Salin first entered, he was attacked by magical beasts, which was quite dangerous.
Back then, Rex was also a fifth-level great mage, but he almost died in this forest. The equipment of the army wouldn't be better than Rex's, and their combat power might not be comparable to Salin's, who had countless scrolls. Moreover, these magical beasts all had a common characteristic: their resistance to divine spells was ridiculously high. Divine spells would only work when the difference in level was too great.
Apart from that, to kill these magical beasts, one had to rely on magic and the weapons of the warriors.
In the Vatican, there were pitifully few mages. In order to keep it a secret, Faka didn't bring a single mage with him. Faka didn't trust any mages. He only trusted the mages under him.
This forest expanded to a very large area, and even millions of troops couldn't completely surround it. However, the forest was surrounded by plains, and it was easy for Faka's army to communicate with each other. He used the scouts to seal off the gaps between the armies, so he wasn't afraid that anyone would escape.
None of this was an obstacle for Salin.
He released clouds from all over his body, covering an area of more than ten kilometers. When he flew high in the sky, no one could detect that there were humans flying in the clouds.
The army that Salin attacked was outside the encirclement, already separated by a mountain peak. There were still many such troops. After losing one, Faka would at most know that someone had come, but he wouldn't know how the army was destroyed.
By the time Faka discovered it, Salin had already entered the Magic Tower.
When Salin flew, he didn't forget to release lightning and simulate the sound of thunder in nature. The demiplane was growing, and the temperature of the sun in the sky was far higher than when Salin first came. It already looked like a huge fireball.
Near this forest, it rained frequently. Flying over such a cloud wouldn't attract attention.
Just like that, Salin simply flew over the forest and took a look at the enemies nearby. Outside the forest, there were almost a hundred thousand troops attacking the forest. Their method of attack was very rough. There were puppets made by Divine Refinement Masters and some slaves brought by Faka. They cut down trees and wanted to build a road in the thousand-kilometer forest.
This couldn't be helped. The Vatican's army was powerful, but the knights needed flat terrain to unleash their combat power. In the forest, the skills of the Vatican knights were restricted, and their combat power was inferior to that of the infantry.
Faka also came prepared. After the trees were cut down, they were immediately sent to the army camp for Divine Refinement Masters to refine into all kinds of equipment. Ordinary plants that couldn't be refined into equipment were used to build barracks.
Faka wanted to attack the forest step by step. This was the attitude of an expert.
Salin was relieved. The plants in this forest grew extremely fast. If there was a continuous rainstorm, dense trees could grow in the places that had been cut down.
It was impossible for Faka to slowly attack the forest. The Magic Tower could control the growth of these plants. As long as his teacher was willing, he could fill the magic formation with magic cores at any time and make Faka's efforts go to waste.
Back when Raphael built the Magic Tower and planted the forest, he had already designed this situation.
Salin flew over the forest. When he reached the other side of the forest, he saw that inside the forest, there was a metal tower built every mile. This was a method of setting up the magic net. Building the metal tower at such a close distance was to save energy. Some small metal towers were extensions of the magic net and could provide magic net for low-level Magicians without consuming too many magic cores.
