[Fourth Update]
Raphael absorbed Myer's fruit and felt the divinity in her body dissipate. This was the source of her power, but the dissipated divinity was replenished by another kind of power. That was the power of nature, and some called it the power of life.
Myer, of course, was not interested in helping Raphael advance directly. She just used a little energy to make Raphael's divinity disappear, and she became a creature of nature.
Of course, this was also an experiment. An angel's divinity was stripped, but her power and rank did not decrease. This might be the first time such a creature had appeared.
Raphael lowered her head in silence. After a while, she raised her head and said to Salin, "Sir, my wings …"
"Disappeared?"
"No." Raphael's wings instantly spread out, and every feather turned green. Raphael lightly flapped her wings, and felt the power of nature quickly enter through her wings and circulate in her body.
"This is the ability of human priests. Of course, Myer's believers also have similar tricks," Salin said to Raphael.
"I don't need believers like this." Myer's voice came, but it was immediately cut off, as if she would no longer observe this space.
"Sir, I can't use my previous skills now, but I still have the ability to fight in close combat."
"That's good." Salin did not mind. After all, after Raphael changed her identity, her advancement speed was much faster. What he needed wasn't her long-range attack abilities. Raphael, who didn't have any divine spells, was actually more useful.
At the very least, the pressure that the gods exerted on Raphael had been greatly reduced. Originally, when Raphael met the God of Light, his power would be greatly reduced. After getting rid of his angel status, Raphael was just like a human, able to directly face the gods and use his full power.
Raphael was no longer an angel who had lost her spirit. Her biggest flaw had been solved.
"Sir, it seems to have started."
Raphael took out her spear and stood in front of Salin. This was a very natural move, because Salin was a mage. In small battles, warriors would always stand in front of mages to prevent them from getting hurt.
Salin smiled and said to Raphael, "Raphael, actually, if I were to pick up a sword now, my power would not be inferior to a level-10 True Warrior."
"Protecting you is something I should get used to," Raphael replied. Her mood was very calm, but there were many things on her mind. If she had not followed Salin, she and her Angels would have been long dead. When he had just arrived at the Myers Continent, its strength was indeed not high, but there were some existences that were difficult to match.
Salin was the only one who had never thought of refining his angels. To other powerhouses, he and the Metallic Angel were merely the best materials for crafting weapons.
Thousands of tiny bugs flew up from a puddle on the opposite side. Each of these tiny insects was metallic in color and somewhat green. They were inconspicuous in the dark green puddles.
As soon as the bugs flew up, Salin released an area-of-effect spell — Frost.
Frost was a spell that did not have high attack power. Even if it was upgraded to the Domain level, it would still be difficult to kill the enemy instantly. However, when Frost reached the domain level, it gained a very strong attribute, and that was Delay.
In the Frost Domain, Slow was an effect that took precedence. In other words, even if you used a fire-type forbidden spell, it would be very difficult to counteract this sluggish state.
There were many similar skills among water magic, but they were much more lethal. Because Salin could only learn water magic in the beginning, he had mastered this skill that other Elemental Mages were too lazy to learn to the Proficient Level.
The Delay effect of Frost was immediately reflected. When Salin and Raphael's bodies were covered with a layer of Water Pattern Shield, the thousands of tiny wind blades hit them.
The Water Pattern Shield was released at the same time as Frost. In fact, Salin had instantly released two spells. This was an ability he had gained after advancing to level-15.
If not for Frost, perhaps the wind blades would have hit them first.
With their defensive equipment, the two might not die, but serious injuries were inevitable. Salin had never seen such a fast Wind Blade before. These wind blades were not of high level, but if they were hit by thousands of wind blades without any defense, they would be dismembered.
Salin broke out in a cold sweat. This Goddess Myers' test was too terrifying!
At this time, Salin also clearly saw the appearance of those bugs and was immediately speechless. This insect was almost exactly the same as the Insect Angel Armor that he had created. Releasing wind blades while flying was also the same skill.
If he had not been cautious and released Frost, perhaps he would have had to use the Destiny Puppet.
Salin had already discovered that the Destiny Puppet could not be used forever. If it was injured by a powerful attack, not only would it take a long time to repair, but it would also be very difficult to return to its original state. This was because his astrology was only at level-10.
Cain was also a d * mn one. Was he trying to use this method to lure him to continue learning astrology?
Salin shook his head and drove away the thought of continuing to practice astrology.
Giving up magic because his life was in danger was very ridiculous in Salin's eyes. In ancient times, no mage would make such a choice, even if the status of astrologers was not low.
The thousands of bugs did not stop attacking, and the duration of the Frost effect was not long. After all, it was an instant cast and not a domain ability. Salin only released a spell for the sake of speed. It was already a miracle that he could control the speed of the wind blades.
Thousands of bugs gradually escaped from the range of the Frost effect. Of course, Salin could not just wait for death. His second offensive spell had already appeared, and it was still an elemental spell.
Salin did not use the Moon of Lightning because he wanted to prolong the duration of his battle. After all, Myers had said that there were 24 powerful magic beasts in this space.
In other words, he had to face 24 battles. These bugs were just an appetizer. The battle had not begun, and his Thunder Magic String could not be used carelessly.
Now that Salin used elemental magic, the consumption of the Magic String was very low. Only when he used lightning magic would the consumption of the Magic String be in line with his level.
Ice Storm!
This was a combination of water and wind magic. When Salin released it, it carried a trace of a strange aura. Countless pieces of ice with sharp edges danced in the wind without any pattern.
The bugs were hit by the ice and were easily cut apart. The fluids in the bugs' bodies splattered.
But these bugs did not die. Instead, they continued to shoot wind blades. But this time, the wind blades all lost their accuracy in the Ice Storm and fell in the opposite direction.
Salin once again took control of the situation and launched the final attack.
Before the hailstorm completely ended, a blazing flame suddenly erupted, wrapping all the insects inside. Raphael even had to take a few steps back to prevent her eyebrows from being scorched.
"Sir, it seems like you have not regressed!" Raphael sighed. The regressed she was referring to was his ability to cast elemental magic. Salin possessed lightning magic, which had great destructive power. He also had a powerful equipment like the Thunder Dragon Spear in his hand. Against enemies, he rarely used elemental magic.
But Salin did not stop practicing elemental magic. Every day, he would take out time to study the magic notes of predecessors.
If he had used the Electric Snake Dance just now, the battle would have been over long ago. But the consumption of the Magic String was a hundred times more than what it was now. Raphael had always been worried that Salin had been blinded by power. Now, it seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
"Don't worry. The next battle will be very difficult for you." Before Salin's voice faded, the surface of Raphael's body was already surging with green air currents. She leaped up and pounced towards the flames.
Amidst the flames, a huge bug was charging towards Salin. There were three pairs of wings on the bug's back. When the three pairs of wings flapped, they condensed three pairs of terrifying magic.
Dimensional Edge.
The offensive power of wind magic had always been criticized, and was even inferior to that of water magic. But the existence of the Dimensional Edge allowed wind magic to regain some of its reputation.
At least, if Salin's Water Pattern Shield only had one layer, it would have been very difficult to block the Dimensional Edge. That was already somewhat like real spatial magic.
Raphael's spear displayed the Metal Cutter spell in front of her. Her movement of flying and stopping was as standard as a warrior's textbook. Six Dimensional Edges flew out and all collided with the Metal Cutter spell.
The Metal Cutter was destroyed by the Dimensional Edge, but the Dimensional Edge did not even change direction and continued flying towards Salin.
Only then did Raphael rise a few meters and dodge the Dimensional Edge attack. She somersaulted in the air and landed right on the back of the huge bug. Raphael did not care about Salin. Her spear stabbed downwards, but the spot she struck was the bug's tail, the gap between the organs used for mating.
The huge bug instantly fell to the ground. Raphael pulled out her spear and a short sword appeared in her left hand. She casually stabbed it into the bug's carapace.
This short sword had a name as well, the Divine Mark Weapon. When she was still an angel, she had cooperated with the gods in battle. After stabbing an enemy with this weapon, as long as it was not pulled out, the gods could easily lock onto the enemy. This kind of lock could not be canceled. Not even divine equipment would work.
Raphael told Salin the attributes of this equipment, and Salin created the Magic Mark Weapon.
Salin's creativity might be average, but after imitating, he could easily use his imagination. After Raphael's Magic Mark Short Sword stabbed into the bug's back, she continued to charge forward. There was still an enemy behind the bug.
Another one meter long bug was hiding behind the big bug. It had twelve pairs of wings and was currently forming twenty-four Dimensional Edges.
Raphael took a deep breath and instantly released twenty-four bugs, which pounced on the little bug.
The twenty-four bugs were naturally summoned from the Drum of Fear. Their level was too low, but it was enough to trigger the Dimensional Edge.
