Old D stayed up all night to write the second chapter.
The skills that Salin used were within the research scope of Mages, but not many were willing to go deep into actual combat. After all, studying this might lead to nothing, but Salin's research was very thorough.
That was what he had imagined when he was still at a low level. Back then, Salin had never thought that he would achieve what he had today. But he wasn't willing to be mediocre, so he and Rex attacked and deciphered each other with spells, trying to find a more powerful path of magic.
Salin suddenly shrank his domain back. Just now, the domain had been expanding, but it didn't protect Qin Yin's soldiers. Because Sephiroth was eager for revenge, he sent most of the soldiers to attack the Magic Towers outside. That was why there weren't more casualties. Otherwise, this spell would've killed 90% of Qin Yin's troops.
The petrified soldiers stood there like statues, including the magic armor on their bodies.
These magic armors were made by Salin's alchemy factory. There was absolutely no impurities. In ancient times, these armors were worn by soldiers above level six.
30,000 soldiers died instantly, and dozens of generals weren't spared either. Most of the survivors were the people around Salin.
Salin's expression changed. This spell wasn't targeted at the soldiers; it was aimed at him. If his Water Pattern Shield didn't have the lightning mageweath in it, he would've been petrified too.
This was a forbidden spell, a group attack spell over level ten.
How could there be such a powerful spell? Even the Mages of Alchemy City couldn't cast it together. More than 30,000 people were killed at once!
Salin had only brought about 400,000 soldiers from the two towns. Any general would vomit blood if they lost one-tenth of their soldiers.
Salin wasn't Sephiroth. He didn't feel sorry for them, but rather wanted to protect himself first.
The lightning domain shrank back to within a radius of 100 meters, completely covering Salin's followers. On the walls of the metal tower, the dark brown magic patterns lit up again.
An earth elemental halo appeared. This time, tens of thousands of earth elemental creatures were born from the halo. As the halo expanded, they rushed out.
Then, a third halo appeared.
Salin's pupils contracted. The frequency of these three spells increased. The Elemental Hand was using a divine artifact. Otherwise, a Mage's power couldn't bear such consumption at all. His physical body would probably collapse due to such a spell.
The second wave of magic attacks was even larger, reaching a radius of 2,000 meters. Almost all the nearby buildings were destroyed by these Earth Elemental creatures.
Within the third halo, however, was an aura that felt like the end of the world.
Fury of the Earth!
This was a thirteenth-grade forbidden spell!
The difference between a Forbidden Spell and a normal spell was that the former had a huge price to pay for its use. The power of a group attack was no different from that of an individual. Most importantly, the Forbidden Spell's area of effect was too large. There was no way to dodge it, so one could only take it head-on.
The earth elemental creatures charged into the lightning domain and immediately disintegrated, disappearing. After all, it was created by magic and not a summoning spell.
Salin was not afraid of the third round of attacks. Although he was only a level-11 sorcerer, the Lightning Domain was the best defense. After shrinking a hundred times, even a forbidden spell would not be able to directly attack Salin's body.
Moreover, Salin still had a way to retaliate.
Truman took out an insignia, it was the insignia of the Stone Statue Army. Hundreds of Stone Statue Soldiers rushed out. These Stone Statue Soldiers were different from normal Stone Statue Soldiers. There were many strange golden patterns on their bodies.
The impact of the Earth Elemental Forbidden Spell caused cracks to appear on the bodies of the surrounding Stone Statue Soldiers. However, the golden patterns absorbed the dense Earth Elemental energy emitted by the Forbidden Spell and repaired the bodies of the Stone Statue Soldiers.
The Fury of the Earth destroyed all the buildings around the metal tower. The surviving officers and soldiers were not spared this time. Instead, they lost more than ten thousand souls.
"Salin!" Sephiroth's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He remembered that Salin had ordered his own army to leave. Did he send Qin Yin's soldiers to their deaths?
"Your Highness, this is a Forbidden Spell released by a Divine Weapon. I can't predict it," Salin replied indifferently.
More than forty thousand people had died. These were elite soldiers. If they surrounded him, he could only break out of the encirclement. It was impossible to kill them all. There were many officers and Sword Saints among these soldiers. Mages below level-9 might not even be able to escape if they were surrounded.
If it was Salin's own army, he would definitely be in so much pain that he wanted to cry.
However, people died in war. Enemies were also lives. Everyone was fighting fairly. These were professional soldiers. It would be fine if there was no war. However, if there was a war, dying on the battlefield was their fate.
The only difference was that some people would drag a few down with them before they died.
Even Desolate Warriors could not survive every war. Salin's tens of thousands of Desolate Warriors would almost always die in every battle. Sometimes, it would be a few hundred.
It was the same for level-9 powerhouses, not to mention these soldiers who were only level-4 on average.
Salin's Lightning Domain was destroyed by the Fury of the Earth. However, it soon returned to normal. Domains were not skills, but instincts. The power of domains surpassed many spells, but the consumption was not as high as spells.
Domains were the highest ability that Mages could master at this level. No, other than Mages, other professions could also master domains after level-10.
However, Mages' domains were relatively easier to master. This was the advantage of Mages. Also, Mages could master many types of domains, which would not affect their advancement.
Salin released Cloud Walking in his domain, and dense water elements enveloped everyone. Salin looked around. Both Zola and Sue had gone to command the army. Nelis and the winged skeleton were waiting calmly for orders. Nicholas was outside Bode's Gate, casting Minor Prophecy to prevent anyone from sneaking into the floating city.
Behind Truman stood the Elemental Emissary with a calm expression.
Isabella was a little nervous, but she had a determined look on her face and held her longsword.
Raphael and the metal angel were all injured, but under Raphael's care, no one died.
That was already good enough. There were only two level-10 Mages on Sephiroth's side, and they were quite frightened. They even knew the power of a forbidden spell. Even a level-10 forbidden spell could kill a level-10 Mage like them.
On the outer wall of the metal tower, dark brown mageweath appeared again. Salin could not wait any longer. He took out his family badge and released lightning.
The distance was too close, so the current did not spread. A three-meter-thick current hit the metal tower. The mageweath flickered and was melted by the powerful current.
The indescribable heat caused a huge hole to appear in the metal tower. Salin was very dissatisfied with the hole that wasn't pierced through.
The three-meter-wide hole completely destroyed the rhythm of the forbidden spell. The Book of the Gaia was indeed a divine artifact, but it depended on who was using it. This thing was originally used by experts above level-16 to kill people of the same level. Even without a divine artifact, a level-16 expert could kill Salin like a mosquito.
"Come back." Salin turned on his magic amplifier. The metal angels did not dare to retreat now. If they left Salin's protection, they would die even faster.
After all the metal angels jumped into the magic amplifier, Salin pointed at the big hole in the metal tower.
The enemy had forced Salin to use the energy in the badge before they met face to face. If Salin had not figured out the real use of the badge, he would have been very depressed.
Raphael turned into a golden light and flew into the hole. Salin brought the people around him and followed. Sephiroth gritted his teeth and followed Salin. Seeing that the level-10 metal angels were all injured, he knew that he could not resist the power of the forbidden spell alone.
Even if he did not die, his weapon would be destroyed.
Only Mages could resist the forbidden spell. A Warrior like him would be finished unless he could get close to a Mage casting a forbidden spell. However, the enemy had cast a forbidden spell in the metal tower. He had no hope of attacking the enemy.
Salin entered first, so Sephiroth could only follow.
The two Mages protected him tightly. When the forbidden spell appeared, the two Mages realized the difference between them and Salin. Salin used a mid-level spell to protect Sephiroth. Of course, this was also thanks to the power of the realm.
Raphael rushed into the metal tower. From the outside, the metal tower seemed to be the same length and width, each about twenty-four meters. However, the space inside was huge. After Raphael crashed in, his spear pierced through three Mages.
The Mages who had rushed over were about to set up defenses. They were faster than the Warriors and were killed by Raphael.
Golden light flashed in Raphael's eyes. He saw the Mages coming and gestured behind him. Suddenly, he remembered that his metal angels were all injured and had been put away by Salin.
"Sir, come with me."
Salin could also see the Mages coming and knew that it was at least a part of the metal tower's defense system.
They had to destroy this part first. The top of the metal tower was very high, but Raphael led everyone down.
On the first floor of the metal tower, the Mages were not high-level. Raphael encountered dozens of Mages along the way, but none of them could escape her fatal spear.
Raphael seemed to have found the feeling of breaking into someone else's country and destroying all hostile forces.
The battle between the gods was left to the gods. She was only responsible for fighting people of the same level. Among people of the same level, the Battle Angel was the most annoying existence.
