[The fifth chapter should have been finished an hour ago, but the divine beast was making a fuss. Old D stayed with the kid for a while. I think there will be more updates.]
This assassin was arranged by the Mages in advance. He was also the strongest assassin in Alchemy City. His equipment had reached the highest level a Level-11 assassin could have.
Sephiroth was a Level-10 Warrior, so the assassin didn't take him seriously. Even if it was a face-to-face battle, he thought he could kill Sephiroth. Mages were the most difficult targets. Because mages always had unpredictable equipment on them.
The assassin attacked with all his strength. The edge of the dagger in his hand had fine sawteeth. The sawteeth were dark and absorbed all the light in the room.
This was Dark Poison, an assassin's favorite.
For an assassin, darkness was the starting point of everything. An assassin's fighting style was explosive attacks. The strongest attack of an assassin was far beyond the limit of their level, but their endurance couldn't compare to a Warrior's.
Sephiroth's kick was beyond the assassin's understanding of Warrior skills. Sephiroth's position was very bad. If he wanted to attack him, he would have to go through Salin first.
But Sephiroth didn't care about the position at all and kicked the assassin's back. A yellow light lit up on the assassin's back. Sephiroth felt pain in his toe. He twisted his ankle at lightning speed and stepped on the spot.
The assassin was frozen in place by Sephiroth's first attack and couldn't dodge the second one.
After the second step, Sephiroth chopped off the assassin's head with his longsword.
With a puff, black smoke rose. Salin casually cast a Cleaning spell. The assassin's head in the black smoke was intact. There was only a set of black clothes on the ground.
Sephiroth didn't make a second attack. He looked at the assassin in disdain and said, "As a warrior, you do such sneaky things. Heh …"
The assassin grabbed his neck with both hands. There was a purple line on his neck, and blood was slowly seeping out.
His skill didn't dodge Sephiroth's attack.
He thought that his equipment could block Sephiroth's kick and his skill could dodge Sephiroth's longsword.
Sephiroth didn't continue. He realized that Salin didn't even dodge. Obviously, he'd noticed the assassin long ago. It was because this assassin was hiding in the dark that the mages inside the crystal walls did not immediately come out to attack.
In the eyes of these mages, Salin was no different from a dead man.
None of the mages in the Elemental Hand had cultivated Soul Energy. Of course, they didn't know that with Soul Energy, there would be no more secrets in the domain. Only those who had reached Level 16 and above and could exist in parallel spaces would be able to avoid the possibility of being discovered by the domain.
In other words, even if the God of Light came personally, he would not be able to sneak into Salin's territory.
"You trust me a lot." Sephiroth felt that he had been fooled. His tone was a bit weird because Salin didn't mention anything even though he knew that there was an assassin.
"I need you to do something so that I can trust you. If it was an ordinary Mage, he would have killed him. Your reaction and attack are not something this assassin can compare to. If he wanted to kill you, I would have done so long ago. "
"Are you that confident? What if I don't make a move?"
"If you don't make a move, this assassin won't be able to lock onto me."
"Prophecy? No! Astrology? "
"Something like that. I wanted to see if you would make a move before he locked onto me. I purposely let him lock onto me. In fact, this was just a formality to let everyone see that we're allies. "
"Everyone?"
"Yes, you have to make use of this opportunity. I've already copied the battle scene just now. I can explain your attack to the mages in the future and publicize it. This is the method of the Scochenians. You might not like it."
Sephiroth didn't reply. He realized that he still didn't take Salin seriously enough. The current Salin was no longer the insignificant mage he used to be. He was the ruler of a country. With a powerful equipment like the floating city, he could make life impossible in any city.
Salin used to go with the flow, but now he had to take the initiative.
"Actually, you can go back to your original self. Right now, you're a bit depressed. If your territory wasn't under attack, you wouldn't have brought so many Qinyin warriors with you, right? " Salin took advantage of the chaos in the room and didn't need to attack, so he started chatting with Sephiroth.
"Haha!" Sephiroth laughed. Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn't answer Salin. But this time, he was slightly grateful.
Salin saw the problem in his heart. If this continued, it would be difficult for his martial arts to improve.
Everyone in the Myers Continent was advancing. If he couldn't reach level-12, he couldn't help the empire. It wasn't easy for Rex to be in that position with only Salin.
His brother was already dead, and there was no turning back. At this point, his best choice was to support Rex.
Salin was reminding himself that it was meaningless to dwell on the past.
On the other side of the crystal wall, the mages of the Elemental Hand worked together to defend against the water flames and retrieve the Book of Gaia. There was only one page of the Book of Gaia, and it was placed on the magic array. When the mages worked together to control it, if the artifact spirit absorbed the power of the Book of Gaia, they would be discovered. Although they didn't know the reason, the Elemental Hand would stop the activation of the Book of Gaia.
But now, the Book of Gaia seemed to be completely embedded in the magic array and couldn't be taken out.
The mages even used daggers to cut it, but they couldn't shake the Book of Gaia. The power of a level-11 mage was equivalent to that of a Silver Sword Saint. Using a dagger to cut it directly made the mages panic.
Finally, a mage understood and shouted, "Let's go, there's an artifact spirit here, and it has its own consciousness!"
All the mages' expressions changed. Only people like Salin, who didn't understand the danger of artifact spirits, would refine them in an enclosed environment. After these mages checked and confirmed that there was no artifact spirit here, they started to refine the Bode's Gate bit by bit in a stupid way. Who knew that the artifact spirit was still here, but it kept hiding and refused to see them.
This already showed the attitude of the artifact spirit. This artifact spirit was an enemy!
The nine mages of the Elemental Hand weren't arrogant enough to think that the artifact spirit had to obey them. This artifact spirit had been hiding, and its attitude was obvious. And at this time, there was a strong enemy outside, which really made them anxious. The strongest mages of the Elemental Hand were all in this room, but they couldn't use the teleportation formation to leave.
Salin was waiting outside. Of course, they had a way to force their way out, but that way would also hurt them. Salin was watching them like a tiger watching its prey. Seeing that they were injured, there was no way he would talk to them about a fair battle.
The mages of the Elemental Hand never thought that they would be ambushed by an artifact spirit, and at such a crucial time. Who said that artifact spirits had ordinary intelligence? This artifact spirit was really too cunning.
The mages of the Elemental Hand unfurled scrolls one after another. Endless Night, Dark Space, Beacon Smoke City, and other skills that blocked vision and area control skills were released by the mages. These mages were like Salin, only using scrolls that consumed mental power until the last moment. They were unwilling to waste Magic Strings.
Once Magic Strings were used, the battle had already reached a very intense state.
The skills derived from Salin's Water Flame were instantly obliterated. Even the Water Flame was controlled by a level-11 skill and shrunk to an extremely small area. But the eight Refining Thunder Beads were wantonly destroying within the area controlled by magic.
The power released by these precious scrolls was disintegrated by the electricity contained in the Refining Thunder Beads, collapsing one by one.
If it was just a single skill, the Refining Thunder Beads wouldn't be destroyed so easily. But the mages of the Elemental Hand were usually very well-coordinated and released many spells at the same time. As a result, after the Refining Thunder Beads broke the elemental balance, the elements of these spells began to interfere with each other.
In the huge room, the elemental imbalance caused unimaginable damage. The mages desperately used defensive skills, but in this kind of environment, they didn't dare to use scrolls carelessly, or it would cause even more intense magic turbulence. They could only use their own Magic Strings to ensure the stability of their casting.
Spells were released one after another, and Salin's horizons were broadened. The mages of the Elemental Hand had a really wide variety of spells, and each had its own unique features.
The mages that Salin had seen in the past were nothing compared to these nine guys. If these people hadn't been locked in by themselves, it would have been absolutely impossible for Salin to eliminate these mages without suffering any damage.
Every mage that reached this stage represented either their talent or luck.
Salin wasn't the only lucky one. To advance to the highest level, talent alone was simply not enough.
What Salin paid the most attention to was that strange magic array. The magic array looked like a crystal platform, and it was covered with an ancient piece of parchment with magic words written on it.
Was that the legendary Elemental Artifact? Salin still didn't know that it was the Book of Gaia, but the Elemental Eye could distinguish its level. This was an Elemental Artifact, and the mages of the Elemental Hand hadn't even used one percent of its power.
Salin secretly rejoiced. If he had come late, he wouldn't have had the chance to defeat so many mages with Divine Artifacts.
Of course, Salin wouldn't think that the Elemental Hand only had one Divine Artifact. According to his calculations, this was an Earth Element Divine Artifact. There should be five other Elemental Divine Artifacts, all of which belonged to Boder's Gate.
This was a big win!
Salin didn't think that he would fail. This wasn't the arrogance of the Elemental Hand, but the effect of the combination of self-confidence and astrology.
Luck was still on his side. The artifact spirit was no longer looking at him, but crazily absorbing the power of the Earth Element Divine Artifact.
The Divine Artifact itself couldn't be swallowed. The artifact spirit hid in the magic array because it was afraid that it would be swallowed by the Divine Artifact instead.
