[Who cares what time it is? Tomorrow, my wife is off. Old D will keep writing until he has no energy to sleep. Keep fighting.]
The ground inside the metal tower was neither metal nor stone. It was extremely hard. Even a sword saint or a magus wouldn't collapse if they fought on it. Now, a huge mouth had suddenly appeared. It opened and bit with its teeth. Salin had reacted quickly and escaped the bite.
Yellow earth element spread out from that huge mouth. Salin was filled with hatred.
It was Petrification again. He didn't dare to release his Thunder Domain too much. He could only shrink it to a hundred meters and protect the people around him.
If he could use the Thunder Domain, Salin would be able to explore the environment on this floor in no time.
Raphael said in Salin's cloud, "Don't worry, Sir. I'll do it."
Raphael took out the Drum of Fear. She had gotten it from the Purple Angel, so of course she wouldn't throw it away. Raphael released the pests from the Drum of Fear. These pests pounced in all directions, searching for traces of the enemy.
Salin was in a spacious corridor, like an underground city. After these pests pounced, huge mouths appeared on the walls on both sides. Their sharp teeth bit at the pests.
Cracking sounds rang out continuously. The pests had a dust-like structure, but when they were bitten by the mouths, they were petrified and then shattered.
Earth-elemental magic attacks had powerful physical attack effects, but they couldn't be used to defend against Earth-elemental magic attacks like Warriors.
Don't look down on the fact that earth-type magic was slow at the lower ranks. However, after reaching the tenth rank, the speed of earth-type magic wasn't much slower than that of wind-type magic.
Even a strange existence like the pests could be "bitten" to death. Salin wasn't prepared to take the risk. He continued to use Cloud Walk, covering his followers and Sephiroth while he used earth element magic himself. Yellow light burst out from under his feet as he ran to the end of the corridor.
The mouths on the walls couldn't hurt Salin at all. Salin's running speed was so fast that even the fastest magic beast couldn't catch up to him. All the power came from the earth element. Salin's soul power could already mobilize the other five elements for his own use.
This was an ability that surpassed level-13. It couldn't be done without powerful soul power.
Salin's actions were very surprising to Raphael. Even gods had such skills. It was just that the Metal God was much faster than Salin, and the principles behind it were also much more profound.
There seemed to be a certain connection between the divine arts and magic of the gods.
Gods controlled the rules and bestowed divine spells to their believers. It seemed … it seemed like the Weave. Although Raphael did not intend to believe in any gods anymore, this discovery still subverted her understanding of the world.
Salin's movement skill was already very different from Carrie's. If he continued to advance, it would be equivalent to Salin creating a new skill.
Salin sensed the fluctuations of the earth element, searching for the source of the attack.
It was also impossible for a divine weapon to conceal itself and launch an attack. After Salin's magic booster became invisible, it was unable to attack the enemy. It was the same for the amplification device's spirit after it went invisible. Even the golden dagger had to reveal itself once it started attacking.
Salin ran in the air, borrowing the attack power released by the Book of the Gaia. Yellow rays flickered under his feet, and his speed reached more than six hundred kilometers. The space inside the metal tower was not the Goddess's temple, nor was it the Twelve Movements of Purgatory.
The space was narrow, and Salin's figure seemed to be darting between the walls and the gaps between the teeth. The big mouths on the walls and the ground kept biting at him, each time narrowly brushing past Salin's body, triggering a wave of elemental agitation. However, none of them managed to hit Salin.
Everyone was alarmed as they followed Salin. Without the protection of Salin's lightning, these people would not have been able to resist the attacks of the Book of the Gaia. The Book of the Gaia had assimilated the entire metal tower. Every part of the metal tower was equivalent to an earth-type magic book, and it was a full-rank one.
The nine Mages of the Elemental Hand only needed to sit firmly in the core and activate the Book of the Gaia to attack. The metal tower could repair itself completely because of the Book of the Gaia.
The hole that had been shot out of Salin's family badge was also slowly healing, and the wound on the tower was still flickering with electricity.
It was obvious how powerful the Book of the Gaia was. It could even heal the damage caused by lightning.
Legend had it that the Goddess Myers had obtained her divinity from the power of the earth at the end of her cultivation. The Goddess Myers' healing skills were not of the water element at all. They all used the power of the earth to heal.
Salin followed the direction of the elemental fluctuations, just like looking for a stone thrown into water along the ripples. Salin's use of the elements was becoming more and more free, and his body also showed a kind of confidence similar to Jason's.
Neris and the Winged Skeleton were the most sensitive to this. Sensing that their master had matured, the two contracted creatures felt happy in their hearts. They followed Salin, and sooner or later, they would also become famous.
Salin was not a god, so he would not make them offer their souls. If Salin continued to live, then their achievements might eventually be higher than Salin's.
The Winged Skeleton's Ice God Scythe also automatically absorbed the power of the earth element. The God of the Underworld also had a very thorough understanding of the rules of the earth element. Gods did not use magic, but the essence was the same. Using the power of the elements could also become a divine spell.
Salin had not had time to deal with Neris's gray memory, which could devour any power. When the power of the earth element invaded, it would be absorbed by the gray memory.
These three people, on the other hand, would not be petrified.
Salin's speed was so fast, and he could still take care of Sephiroth. His Cloud Walk pulled the people around him, as if he was dragging everyone while running.
There was a tall door in front, and at the end, a metal statue looked coldly at the approaching Salin.
Salin raised his hand and a lightning icicle appeared. Following the icicle was a ball of lightning.
The icicle flew less than ten meters before it was forcibly stopped by the power of the earth element. Salin sneered, and the ball of lightning flew swiftly into the metal statue.
Roar …
The artifact spirit inside the metal statue was heavily injured, and before it could attack Salin, it had already lost its function.
Salin suddenly stopped and summoned an elemental stone soldier. Most of his elemental creatures were enjoying themselves in the magic booster, and their main function was to provide Salin with elemental power.
Salin rarely summoned them anymore. This elemental stone soldier held a magic warhammer and looked at Salin.
Salin pointed at the statue, and the elemental stone soldier rushed forward, raised its warhammer, and smashed the metal statue into pieces.
A strong elemental shockwave suddenly exploded around the metal statue. That was the level-12 Sigh of the Earth.
Although the elemental stone soldier was an earth elemental creature, it was fixed in place by the Sigh of the Earth. A layer of rock several meters thick appeared on the surface of its body.
The entire Sigh of the Earth happened to happen outside Salin's domain. If Salin rushed forward and attacked himself, he would be hit by this move. He might not be injured, but the Fate Puppet would be repaired.
The Sigh of the Earth had a very long range, and it was not restricted by the environment. Salin had been attacked by this spell before, so he knew how terrifying it was.
Salin summoned the elemental stone soldier back, and then he released another one. The second elemental stone soldier rushed forward and moved the smashed metal statue away.
Next to the statue was the door. Salin dealt with the statue first because if he entered the door, the statue would attack. If he counterattacked, it would cause the Sigh of the Earth. This was a preset spell that could increase the power of a spell to the highest level.
A Sorcerer's instantaneous spell would definitely not be this spell's strongest state. However, in a battle, being a bit faster could determine life and death. That was why Sorcerers worked so hard to learn instantaneous spells.
No matter how powerful one's spell was, it would be useless if it couldn't match the opponent's speed.
"Salin, you've gone too far by coming here!" A loud voice sounded from inside the door.
"Ha … You Alchemy City Sorcerers only know the word 'too far' today? What about Prince Sephiroth's people? Do they deserve to be killed by you? "Salin replied as he tried to expand his domain.
However, once the domain was expanded, the omnipresent earth elemental attack would attach to his body.
He wasn't afraid himself, but his followers might not be able to take it.
"We're killing Sephiroth's people. What does that have to do with you?"
Salin heard this and knew that he was stalling for time. He looked at Sephiroth beside him and said, "These people don't seem to know you. How about we go in?"
Sephiroth said proudly, "Go save them!"
He didn't care anymore. If Salin dared to go in, he dared to go in too.
Salin laughed. He didn't explain and just summoned more water elemental creatures. There were more than thirty of them, all hidden in the Cloud Walking Spell to protect everyone.
Pure earth elemental attacks were effective against water elemental creatures. But Salin chose to use water elemental creatures for defense to consume more of the enemy's divine artifact's power.
But there was a price to pay, and that was the inability to stop and attack first.
In other words, as long as the water elemental creatures didn't die, the power of the Book of the Gaia would always target them. Salin's pressure would be greatly reduced.
The door was tall, and the blue Ice Lady was about nine meters tall. She passed through easily. Behind the door, Salin saw a wall.
It was a wall made of pure crystal. Although it wasn't a whole piece, it was still a miracle.
Behind the transparent wall, dozens of Sorcerers watched Salin walk in and laughed at the same time.
The leading Sorcerer pointed at Salin and said, "We were just about to catch you, but you walked into the trap. Really …"
"Nonsense!" Salin shouted. This level-eleven Sorcerer was actually interrupted by Salin. Salin waved his hand, and the Winged Skeleton rushed forward with a huge meteor hammer in its hand.
Boom!
The meteor hammer hit the crystal wall, and the center exploded. Countless air currents gushed out from the narrow gap, forming a cutting posture.
