The first update was supposed to be posted at six, but I forgot to click on it after uploading. My brain is in a mess due to the monthly votes battle. It's such an intense time, the last twenty hours.
Salin personally commanded from the air and explained the use of the magic net to Sephiroth.
Sephiroth wasn't completely clueless about magic. In fact, he'd even studied magic in order to understand the power of elements. However, he hadn't cultivated magic strings and only learned level-zero spells. This didn't affect his sword training.
He'd heard of the magic net before, but the one Salin was talking about was beyond his knowledge.
"Your Highness, does the magic net have any side effects?" Sephiroth asked in a formal tone.
"Yes. Aside from the increase in Mind Power, Manipulators who use the magic net will also suffer physical damage. However, the Manipulators I use are all demons. Demons have strong recovery abilities and won't cause too much trouble in their lifetime. If they don't become my Manipulators, they'll have to fight every day in the Demonic Plane and may not live long. "
Hearing this, Sephiroth knew that if humans became Manipulators, the consequences would be even worse. The recovery ability of humans wasn't as good as that of demons. If humans became Manipulators, they would age very quickly. Unlike Mages, they wouldn't have strong bodies.
Salin's body was even stronger than the silver sword saints. If he learned some techniques, apart from not being able to release sword aura, his ability to fight head-on would be the same as the silver sword saints. As long as he had strong enough weapons.
Sephiroth knew that after the magic net was built, the defense here would be handed over to Salin. However, he couldn't transfer the power of the imperial capital to his own country. Plus, he wasn't willing to leave Sacred Rock City just like that.
Salin had come to ask him to go back. Of course, there was a way for him to go back. Eliminating the Mages of Alchemy City would be a great merit.
As for the sins of the Alchemy City's Mages, it didn't matter anymore.
Alchemy City's current power threatened the safety of the empire, and they weren't willing to help the empire anymore. That was the greatest sin of all.
Salin's expectations were met. Sephiroth was finally willing to work with him. Dealing with Alchemy City was just an excuse. That wasn't Salin's goal. Salin only had one goal, and that was to let Sephiroth manage and promote the religion in secret.
The Goddess of Nature was not discriminated against on the Myers Continent. In all the recorded texts, Myers had always played the role of the continent's guardian.
In this regard, Salin knew in his heart that this was also a means left behind by Goddess Myers. Over the years, there must have been a lot of people who had benefited from her. Some of them were like him, aiming to resurrect the goddess. As for those who didn't benefit much, they probably just needed to help Goddess Myers spread her good name.
Salin did not kill all the mages sent by the Elemental Hand. After all, there were still some mages who were not in the capital. Some were wandering dozens of miles away, cleaning up the escaping soldiers.
These Mages ran fast enough that Salin did not chase after them.
A newly advanced 7th Rank High Mage flew towards the east with all his might, completely disregarding the possibility of being followed. In fact, Raphael personally chased after him. She was holding a spear and her body was almost fused with nature. That High Mage simply couldn't find any trace of her.
After chasing for over a thousand kilometers, a ten-meter-tall puppet suddenly flew out of the mountains to meet the High Mage. The High Mage was overjoyed and took out a scroll. Just as he was about to call it over, Raphael shouted.
A black ray of light shot out of the puppet's chest and penetrated the High Mage's body.
That young High Mage was killed by the puppet in one hit. The puppet also suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of fragments. When Raphael rushed over, the puppet could no longer find any useful information. The puppet's core, its magic core, and its magic array had all been dissolved.
Raphael wanted to follow that person's footsteps to find the Elemental Hand's location, but the Elemental Hand killed him without any warning.
The scroll that the mage had taken out also disappeared. Raphael thought about it and decided to continue flying east. That mage hadn't adjusted his flying direction, which meant that the Elemental Hand's people were definitely in the straight line ahead.
The Purple Angel also caught up at this time. He had been cleaning up more Mages in the back. He could catch up because he didn't want to go to Salin's side. Salin might give him some kind of mission.
To the Purple Angel, he didn't like to do any missions. It was best if he didn't do anything. He could eat all kinds of creatures every day and evolve his body.
He didn't expect that following Raphael would be risky. The Alchemy City's Mages were now against Salin. If they found him, they would definitely find a way to capture him and turn him into the Elemental Hand's puppet.
"Master Raphael, may I ask what you found?" the Purple Angel asked fawningly.
"Get lost," Raphael said impatiently.
"Yes."
Seeing that Raphael was in a bad mood, the Purple Angel quickly turned into a metal egg and rolled down the hill. As a puppet, it wasn't difficult for him to turn into anything except a human.
"Come back!" Seeing that the Purple Angel was so tactful, Raphael suddenly remembered that he needed a helper when he came out. After all, his power was sealed and he could only use Level-12 skills.
His two spears also had limited Divine Power. If there were too many enemies, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he used up all his strength.
Hearing Raphael's call, the Purple Angel rolled down the hill again. It was a difficult roll, and Raphael chuckled.
"Purple Angel, what can you transform into?"
"I can easily transform into anything within a hundred feet."
"How about you turn into a dragon?"
The Purple Angel frowned. His body made deafening noises. His body kept expanding, and scales, wings, claws, and the horns on his head were the hardest to transform into. They required dragon markings.
After half an hour, the Purple Angel finally transformed perfectly. Apart from his eyes, which didn't have the majesty of a dragon, he was no different from a dragon.
Raphael jumped onto the Purple Angel's dragon form and said, "Give me the Drum of Fear."
The Purple Angel spat out the Drum of Fear unwillingly. He thought that he might as well return to his master.
"If you don't want to come with me, then scram." Raphael wasn't polite to the Purple Angel. She knew where this thing came from. Strictly speaking, it was similar to her.
"I'm willing, I'm willing!" Being stepped on by Raphael, the Purple Angel suddenly felt an urge. It was like a human's desire. It felt good to be stepped on! The Purple Angel spat out the bone hammer. Raphael shrunk it and hung it on his waist.
"Fly that way."
"Yes, Master."
The Purple Angel's power wasn't much lower than Raphael's, but he always felt like he couldn't resist Raphael's orders.
Forget it. Master's power is so low. I still have to listen to him, right?
According to a Magician's theory, I've been tortured so much that I've fallen in love with this feeling!
The Purple Angel sighed inwardly. She followed Raphael's instructions and flew east. As she flew, the Purple Angel felt Raphael's feet on her back. It was a pleasant feeling.
Raphael was so focused on searching for the Elemental Hand's hiding spot that she didn't notice what the Purple Angel was thinking. If she knew that the Purple Angel cared about her feet, she would have torn him into pieces that couldn't be put back together again.
Raphael wasn't flying fast. The Purple Angel didn't have her ability to fly. Even in dragon form, it could only travel three hundred miles. This was already very fast for a Magician. Even the fastest bird in the world couldn't fly as fast.
When Magicians first learned to fly, they were only a little faster than ordinary warhorses.
The huge figure in the sky swept past. Raphael had purposely turned the Purple Angel into a dragon to attract the enemy's attention. If it was an ordinary thing, the Elemental Hand wouldn't care. But if the Magicians were hiding underground, Raphael wouldn't be able to find them in a short time.
As expected, after flying for a thousand miles, a few people on the ground locked onto the Purple Angel with their mental power.
The Purple Angel roared, but it couldn't spit out dragon breath. The Draconic Aura it simulated was pitifully weak. The people on the ground were immediately attracted. A dragon that hadn't matured yet?
To a Magician, a dragon that hadn't matured yet was too attractive. If Salin hadn't gotten the help of Dragon Island, he would've wanted to capture it as well.
Raphael smiled. "Good job. Continue."
The Purple Angel roared again. On the ground, the Magicians couldn't help it anymore. The Purple Angel didn't stop under Raphael's instructions. She continued flying east, as if she were just passing by.
Raphael could see the ground. Her feet left the Purple Angel's back. She didn't hit the bone hammer. She thought she would be surrounded by Magicians, but it was just three Magicians chasing after her.
Light flickered on the Purple Angel's back, and Raphael's body was hidden.
Raphael was able to keep her composure. She had experienced too many battles to be nervous at all. She was the most relaxed when she met an enemy, because that was the prelude to a battle.
For Battle Angels, fighting was the fundamental meaning of their lives.
Of the three Magicians chasing after her, two were Level-8 High Mages, and one was only Level-7. The Purple Angel's flying speed caught them off guard, and they were shaken off in less than two minutes.
A Level-8 High Mage hurriedly opened a scroll. A black aura filled the air, accompanied by a huge explosion.
This was a warning spell that also had the effect of hiding itself.
Seeing the Purple Angel's flying speed, the three Mages thought they had made a mistake, mistaking the Purple Angel for a high-level dragon. They had never thought that there would be something else that could transform into the appearance of a giant dragon.
Raphael was overjoyed when she saw the black fog explode. She landed on the Purple Angel's back again and made the Purple Angel turn around and rush into the black fog.
