The emaciated evil spirit didn't seem to have any vision. The evil spirit that turned its head had its ears swiveling nimbly, its nose twitching as it sniffed at the strange smell in the flames.
Bam!
Nelis raised her leg and kicked. An evil spirit lurking in the purple flames was kicked away, broken at the waist. Nelis pouted. "Master, these things aren't much. I didn't even use any strength."
The evil spirit fell into the purple flames, and a dozen more evil spirits surrounded it. Salin realized that his Ice Vision was still there, but his perception had been reduced to a very narrow range.
The evil spirits surrounding Salin and the others weren't in a hurry to attack. Daniel, who was flying at a low altitude, couldn't hold on and fell with the Winged Skeleton. He was only a level-three Mage. It wasn't easy for the Winged Skeleton to carry him for so long.
"Why aren't you running?" Salin saw that the green flames of death behind Daniel had shrunk a lot, and the Winged Skeleton inside was dispirited.
"It's purple flames up there too. I can't fly out." Daniel replied with a bitter smile. The Winged Skeleton had evolved, but he hadn't. If he flew around, the flames of death would quickly run out. It was safer to stay by Salin's side.
"This is troublesome." Salin didn't think these evil spirits were easy to deal with. A Black Deacon's skill was at least at the level of a level-five Mage, maybe even level-six. Now that Daniel said he couldn't fly out, it was impossible to leave by ground.
Roar …
An evil spirit pounced like a toad, stretching to its limit. The speed of this pounce was shocking. Salin released an ice bullet. The ice bullet with a diameter of more than a foot accurately hit the pouncing evil spirit in the head.
The evil spirit's skull shattered with a crack. Black juice splashed everywhere, and when it fell into the purple flames, it had already frozen. The surrounding evil spirits seemed to be cowering, but they still pounced forward. Salin was already sure that level-one spells could hurt them. He continuously released level-one Icicle, and a dozen evil spirits had their heads blown off.
"Master, wait." Nelis helped Salin kick away another two evil spirits, and pointed at the evil spirit's corpse in the purple flames.
The evil spirit whose waist had been broken by Nelis struggled to straighten its body, panting in the flames. Ten seconds later, it crawled back up and approached Salin.
Salin's head immediately swelled. This thing couldn't be killed? Or could they be resurrected in the purple flames? Sure enough, it didn't take long before all the evil spirits whose heads had been blown off stood up. Their huge heads seemed to be intact.
"Shika." Salin called out and asked, "If I remove the Water Shield, can you withstand the temperature here?"
The purple flames were extremely cold. Salin was used to the harsh environment, but he still shivered. However, he did not dare to use magic to warm himself. Now that the Magic Strings were precious, releasing the scrolls would be meaningless. They had to find a way to completely kill the evil spirit.
"Yes." Sicar nodded. "It's a little colder than the winter in the village, but I'm wearing more clothes now."
Salin then remembered that it was late autumn when he first met Shika. She was wearing clothes that exposed her belly and dared to take a bath in the water. Her physique was not as simple as that of a warrior without Sword Qi.
Salin dispelled Shika's Water Shield and cast an Ice Armor. Shika was not a magician, so she could not fight with the Water Shield. Her weapon could not attack from the shield either.
"You two hold them off first. Daniel and I will experiment and see what spells can kill them completely," Salin said calmly.
He still had more than half of his Magic Strings left. He could cast more than a hundred level-one spells, but these evil spirits could resurrect. No matter how many Magic Strings he had, it would be useless. Shika and Neris were strong enough to deal with these evil spirits for now. The Construct Puppets were not very useful. They used up their magic cores too quickly. Salin had to keep them in case the Black Deacon attacked.
As long as the Black Deacon dared to show his face, Salin would smash him to pieces even if his Construct Puppets were destroyed.
Shika was already wearing magic armor. After putting on the Ice Armor and a pair of gloves, she was not afraid of the low temperature of the purple flames at all. She waved her stick and smashed dozens of evil spirits away. She said in surprise, "More and more!"
"Yes. About four to five hundred, "Neris replied.
"How do you know?" Shika did not believe it.
"Intuition."
Neris replied as she kicked the evil spirits that approached Salin. She had lived in the Demonic Plane for a long time. She lost her parents after she was born, so she started to fight at a young age. These evil spirits were like magic insects. No matter how far they hid, they would be discovered by the little demons.
Salin stuffed a leather bag full of low-level magic cores to Daniel. "Rest first and recover the Necromancer Flames. When I rest later, don't save them. Use them all."
Daniel was considered well-off when he was in Tanggulas. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach level-three so quickly after buying the Necromancer Flames. This was all thanks to the low-level magic cores. Even so, Salin's generosity warmed his heart. He was a magician after all, not a calculative businessman. This leather bag of magic cores should be at least three to five hundred.
Salin began experimenting with level-0 spells. He used different spells to attack the evil spirits, hoping to find a specific killing spell. After experimenting with dozens of magic cores, Salin regretfully realized that none of the spells could completely kill these evil spirits.
The only reassuring thing was that the Evil Spirit's defense wasn't that great. The acid could easily melt the Evil Spirit, but the Evil Spirit would quickly revive in the purple flames.
"Daniel, you do it." Salin held a level-four magic core and started to recover the magic strings.
Daniel threw out a small ball of Necromancer Flames first before experimenting with other necromancy spells. Salin observed these evil spirits with his Cold Sight. These evil spirits had flesh and blood, but they looked like corpses that had been dead for a long time. They moved extremely fast and were very sensitive to temperature. Daniel's necromancy spells were endless, but just like Salin, necromancy spells could not stop the evil spirits from reviving.
"Rex, are you still there?" Salin shouted loudly.
"Yes." Rex's voice came from all directions. Salin was slightly relieved. Rex continued, "Salin, these things are afraid of recovery spells. It is easiest to use Restoration Water to kill them."
The black deacon's voice was eerie and ethereal. "Hehe, don't waste your energy. I don't believe that your magic strings will never run out. Surrender and come back to Tanggulas with me. As long as you help me capture the necromancer alive, I will ask the archbishop to forgive you. "
Daniel's expression immediately darkened. Salin shook his finger at him, gesturing for him to keep quiet. This simple instigation trick was useless against Salin and Rex. Not to mention that the two of them were unwilling, even if they were willing to surrender, they wouldn't have a good ending when they arrived at Tanggulas.
"He's lying to us," Salin said to Daniel in a low voice. He pointed at the evil spirits that were eating the corpses in the flames. The evil spirits attacked for a long time without any results. They actually started to eat the corpses of the black warriors and priests that Salin had killed.
After the evil spirits ate the corpses, their bodies began to swell. Soon, another head popped out from their shoulders. This body grew bigger and bigger. Finally, it split into two evil spirits.
"Don't get caught, or you'll be burned to death in the Light Square. If I get caught, I'll end up like them." Salin looked at the disgusting scene in front of him and cursed the Church from top to bottom in his heart.
Only then did Daniel relax and continue his experiment.
Salin asked Nelis to take out the construction puppet. The two puppets were placed side by side behind them. The huge puppet blocked the back, so the evil spirits had to attack from the front. Their claws and teeth could not harm the construction puppet's body.
Bam!
Daniel shot out a phosphorescence bomb and blew away five evil spirits. He could not hold on anymore. Salin was already very satisfied. Daniel's bone spear could last for a long time. After piercing through an evil spirit, the bone spear disappeared and the evil spirit began to revive. Based on the speed at which the two of them recovered their magic strings and flames of necromancy, they could hold on for a long time even without using scrolls.
But he did not know if Rex could hold on. Salin was a little worried, but he did not shout anymore. The Black Deacon could hear their conversation.
The seemingly safe environment was, in fact, the most dangerous. This was the same as the fable of the fish and frog. Salin and Daniel would get tired sooner or later. They could not hold on forever. The magic strings' recovery speed would become slower and slower. When the magic strings could no longer recover, they would have to fight with their bodies. That would be the moment of death.
Daniel thought of this too. He was a little desperate. He said to Salin, "I've dragged you into this."
"Don't worry. I need some time to calculate. Sicar, you two keep a close eye on me. Nelis, protect me. " After saying this, Salin sat on the ground and let the cold flames burn on the Water Pattern Shield. His mental power entered the necklace of the goddess.
He wanted to calculate the evil spirits' weakness, but evil spirits were not elemental creatures. Salin had only learned one of the twenty-four spaces in the necklace, which was the space that contained Figaro's magic formula. He was still familiarizing himself with the rest. He could not grasp them at all.
Salin passed through more than ten spaces in the necklace and stopped at the thirteenth space. The energy flow in this space was very similar to that of evil spirits. Salin calmed down and began to observe and learn.
It was easy to defeat evil spirits. Even a beginner swordsman could do it. But there were only two ways to kill evil spirits. The first was to find the Black Deacon and kill him. Then these evil spirits would be freed. The second was to calculate the composition of evil spirits and use the most thorough method to erase them from this space.
A hundred and twenty thousand tadpole-like characters appeared in the space. Salin was surprised. The pattern in this space was very simple, even simpler than Figaro's magic formula. Although there were ten times more characters, in fact, the description method was more than three hundred characters per paragraph. With such a regular arrangement, the results he needed to calculate would be greatly reduced.
