Sicar gripped the leather rope tightly and helped Nelis to stabilize her body. Nelis walked to the edge of the first magic circle, took out six magic cores, and installed them around the magic circle one by one.
The holes in the metal pillar whimpered. Nelis was only left with her clothes, which were torn by the strong suction. Her face didn't change, but her feet had undergone subtle changes. Her toes gradually grew longer and deeply dug into the stone ground.
Sicar was very nervous. The five magic circles on the front and side were easy to deal with. One magic circle was behind the metal pillar, so the rope was useless. The rope was at the end. Nelis looked back at Sicar who was outside the door. Her nails scratched the rope around her waist. The taut rope buzzed and broke.
Nelis bent down and began to crawl on the ground. The nails on her hands grew out completely and inserted into the stone ground. The ground was so hard that the pain on her fingers came. Nelis tried to stay close to the ground and crawled to the back of the metal pillar.
Without the help of the rope, the physical consumption immediately increased. In this direction, Nelis needed to resist the suction of the metal pillar with all her strength. There was no place for her to borrow strength. Her fingers and toes were getting more and more painful. It made her wonder if she had become a fragile magic beast.
Feeling that her finger bones were about to break, the tail behind Nelis quickly grew out. She supported herself on the ground and crawled forward. Climbing to the edge of the magic circle, Nelis spat out a magic core and installed it. Then she went around to the other corner of the magic circle. Her tail swung in the opposite direction and deeply inserted into the ground, resisting the suction of the metal pillar.
Even a human sword saint might not have the physical strength of Nelis. She now felt that all the bones in her body were about to be pulled apart. Her strength was rapidly flowing away.
Puff …
Nelis spat out the last magic core and pressed it hard into the groove of the magic circle. Before she could find a way to use her mental power to activate the six magic circles, the eighth floor had already lit up with the light of magic.
The huge suction of the metal pillar suddenly disappeared. Nelis's feet loosened and her body flew to the other side. She was pulled by the tail that was inserted into the ground and fell heavily to the ground.
Nelis knew that the danger had passed, so she retracted her tail while groaning. Her whole body was in so much pain that she didn't want to move, so she simply lay on the ground with her limbs spread out. This huge metal pillar was like a peak Sword Saint completely erupting, and the suction force almost broke Nelis' bones.
The six magic arrays began to operate without end. The magic core that was embedded in the groove automatically retracted and became level with the magic circle. Even the small hole that was dug out by Neris's hands and feet in the room was automatically repaired. The light of magic was unusually soft. Neris's eyes were blurred. In a trance, she saw Salin walking over and putting a coat on her.
"Master?"
"Go to sleep." Salin's voice sounded in Neris's ears. Neris completely relaxed. She didn't know how she did it, but her master was back, and she didn't have to suffer the pain of death.
"Salin!"
Shika quickly ran to the eighth floor of the magic tower and hugged Sarlin tightly. Neris, caught in the middle, moaned, but did not wake up.
"Shika, I'm dying of pain!" Salin shouted. Shika's strength was too great, and his body couldn't take it.
Shika let go and smiled at Rex, who was beside Salin. She didn't hide her joy at all. Rex sighed and said, "Let's go out first. These magic cores can't last for long."
As she spoke, Salin already felt that the magic array's operation began to slow down, and the light of magic dimmed a lot. The operation of this magic array consumed so many materials. One had to know that the magic cores that Neris got on this floor were at least level-five and above.
Salin carried Neris, and the four of them quickly left the eighth floor of the magic tower. Before they closed the door, the light in the room had completely disappeared. Salin was scared. If they stayed in there for too long, the four of them would be sucked into the metal pillar together. If they went back this time, no one would come to save them.
The four of them directly rested outside the door. Shika was fine, but Neris was almost exhausted. She wouldn't recover without a few hours. Rex's magic fluid had been used up. To recover his strength, Spring Rain alone wasn't enough.
Compared to divine spells, magic didn't have any side effects, but magic below the level of Magic Shooter took longer to take effect. The magic fluid made by a level-seven Magic Shooter could recover all the lost strength in one to two minutes at most. The level-four Spring Rain was more of a healing effect. If it was divine spells, the strength could be recovered almost at the same time as the divine light descended, but the price was the consumption of life force.
This consumption was irreversible, and there were trade-offs. Mages could choose to consume their own life force, or the life force of the person being healed. Generally speaking, mages wouldn't sacrifice themselves.
Salin seized the time to use the family badge to start training. Now that his magic strings had increased, his spiritual power had increased again. Because the badge no longer drained him, a small part of his spiritual power and magic strings could be left. His recovery speed didn't decrease either.
Neris slept for four hours at a time. Salin had practiced eight times, using half an hour each time to recover. Rex was meditating too. She admired Salin's hard work. No wonder he could advance so quickly. Among the mages that Rex knew, Salin was probably the one who worked the hardest.
There were too many restrictions for a mage to achieve something. First, they had to have a good environment, then they needed a lot of money to buy materials for training. They couldn't do it without a good teacher. You couldn't become a great mage just by reading books, let alone a Magic Shooter. The restrictions of talent were also very helpless. The only thing a mage could grasp was their own hard work.
An apprentice with no money, no teacher, and no good living environment could advance to become a High Mage if they worked hard.
Salin had almost all the conditions to practice magic. He had a teacher, money, no lack of rare materials, and enough magic knowledge. Even so, he still squeezed out all the time for training.
Magicians all believed that no success was a fluke. Some mages would do thousands of experiments and write millions of words of notes to perfect a formula. Only such mages could become legendary.
Neris sat up from the ground and secretly touched the back of her butt to see if her tail was still there. She didn't want Rex to see through her identity. Salin's repeated reminders made her pay special attention to this point.
Rex opened her eyes. A mage's meditation couldn't be stopped at any time. Many mages couldn't even move their bodies before the meditation was completed. Rex's secret method seemed to be on the same level as Salin's inheritance. Her law of meditation came from the Glücos family, which had been passed down for thousands of years and nurtured a large number of royal mages.
"Salin, go up and take a look." Rex returned to her usual self. She was very gentle, much more friendly than the aristocratic politeness. Salin was a little regretful. Rex was obviously cuter inside the metal pillar. Now, Rex had become an amiable princess again. Although the barrier caused by her rank had disappeared, she was still a royal who could establish a country, and some things in her body couldn't be changed.
Rex was actually very happy. The harvest on the eighth level was beyond imagination. A world created by a mage, a legend that was close to a god. She was even more determined to create a permanent teleportation array between this Semi-Plane and the Myers Continent. With the Six-Yuan Space and this independent world, she would be able to realize her dream.
No matter what Salin obtained on the ninth level, she wouldn't be tempted anymore. Rex had never felt so full of spirit, and there was no gap in her heart. It wasn't because she obtained a huge fortune, but because she finally believed that she could open up an unprecedented path.
At this moment, Rex felt that the door to level-6 was open to her. Apart from the magic strings that hadn't grown, her mental power had already broken through the barrier of level-5. As long as there was a slight change in the magic strings, there would be a chain reaction, and she would smoothly advance to level-6. After advancing to level-6, she would be able to touch the secrets of Magic Shooters.
If Magic Shooters were like the sea, then level-6 mages were like the rivers that were about to flow into the sea.
Salin walked in front this time. Apart from the entrance of this magic tower, there were no special offensive magic arrays installed on every level. On the fifth level, the dead magical beast only emitted residual power. On the eighth level, the metal pillar only lost the restriction of six magic arrays. These weren't deliberately created by the owner of the magic tower. In other words, this magic tower wasn't guarded except for the entrance.
On the Myers Continent, the ninth level of a magic tower was where level-9 mages lived. It was the essence of the magic tower. This magic tower had ten levels, and Salin was a little excited. What would be different in the ninth level?
The six-dimensional space and independent world were already shocking enough. Salin didn't believe that there would be nothing in the ninth level.
Salin came to the door of the magic tower's ninth level, bowed deeply in a mage's salute, and then opened the door. A cloud of water vapor emerged from his palm. He stuck it on the door and pulled. The door slowly opened, and the light inside was dim. Salin saw the window opposite and smiled.
This level was where the mages lived. It seemed that his luck was not bad. This level-10 mage still lived on the ninth level. If this level-10 mage had left behind an inheritance, it would also be placed on this level.
The lower eight levels of the magic tower were all sealed. On this level, the mages finally used spatial magic to directly connect this level to the outside world.
"Salin, you're lucky." Rex smiled and said. She got what she wanted, and now it seemed that Salin also got what he wanted.
