The fog monsters weren't fast enough, and the magic array Salin made wasn't fast enough, either. However, the three magic crystals in front of the magic array took turns to release spells. Plus, the mutated level-five Ice Bullet had area of effect, so the fog monsters couldn't get close to the magic tower.
Occasionally, some of them would be burned to death by Rex's Fire Crows. The orange flames on Rex's body fluttered beside Salin's ears, but they didn't emit any heat. Salin had never thought that an upgraded Fire Raccoon would have such an effect. As he activated the magic array, he thought that he seemed to have missed out many low-level water spells. Maybe magic itself could be upgraded, but many of them had never been studied.
For example, there were basically no area of effect spells among the low-level water spells. Salin had no choice but to study Cone of Ice. After upgrading it, it could barely simulate the effect of area of effect, but it was still not enough compared to fire spells. It was also a combination of many level-two spells, not just one spell.
Salin had researched this change of Ice Bullet bit by bit. At first, he used Ice Bullet and Cone of Ice to achieve the goal of increasing the attack distance. Later, he obtained the knowledge of the conversion of six elements, and then combined Ice Bullet and fire spells.
If it weren't for the weakness of Magic String, Salin wouldn't have spent so much time studying these changes. Maybe this was the same choice many mages made. Since it could be upgraded, some spells would be abandoned, and no one would study them deeply.
While Salin was envious of Rex's ability to control elements, Daniel was sad about the consumption of the magic cores. Rex had given him all cut level-six magic cores. Even though he wasn't an Elemental Mage, he could feel how fast the magic cores embedded in the magic array were being consumed.
If he used this level-six magic core for cultivation, he could use it for at least two to three months. Now, all the magic cores would be wasted in less than a day.
The fog monsters without intelligence didn't know how to sneak attack from behind. They tried to break through from the front while enduring the magic attacks of Salin and the others. Huge ice bullets flew out and exploded in the air, bringing with them flames. The broken pieces were as sharp as ice blades. After cutting into something, they would explode and burn like fireballs.
If the fog monsters were faster, Salin's magic array would be useless. Now, Salin was continuously adjusting the range of the magic array. A hundred meters, two hundred meters, five hundred meters … Only when it was a kilometer away did Salin feel that the magic array was in danger of exploding.
The range of this attack wasn't as far as the magic catapults or cannons. In fact, it wasn't as fast, but its attack frequency was slightly higher.
Salin, on the other hand, was very satisfied. After the modification of the ice bombs, the mist on the surface actually had some characteristics of his new flying spell. In the water, the speed of these ice bombs would be more than ten times faster.
In other words, Salin's magic array was designed for underwater battles.
Necromancers could use undead flames to establish coordinates between planes and summon undead creatures to assist in battle. After the death of the Necromancer, these undead creatures would stay in the Myers Continent. Without the restrictions of necromancers, undead creatures were no longer harmless tools. They would be hunted down like magical beasts.
The fog monsters were the lowest level creatures that necromancers could control. Necromancers would seal the truly powerful undead creatures before they died to reduce their power and prevent them from harming others. In addition to repairing the magic array, this fog could suppress the undead creatures for a long time. Salin wanted to eliminate the fog monsters and destroy the balance of the energy in the fog. The seal might loosen, and the most powerful undead creatures left by the necromancer would hunt down all the lives on the island.
Such an action was indeed dangerous. If the necromancer on the island died later, perhaps the undead creatures that were sealed wouldn't be suppressed and could still surpass level six.
Salin wanted to subdue this undead creature and give it to Daniel so that his power could increase as soon as possible. Since Daniel was his follower, he would be the first to fight in any battles in the future. The value of the Winged Skeleton was too high, and Salin didn't want to use it as cannon fodder. However, the undead creatures on the island were a good contract partner.
The squeaking sounds became fewer and fewer, and the number of fog monsters dropped sharply. The ground was covered with the corpses of fog monsters and stone fragments that were blown up by the ice bombs. The island was full of rocks. The ice bombs' fragments were abnormally sharp and only started burning and exploding after cutting into the rocks. Salin and the others had activated the magic array and flattened the land within a mile.
This was much more powerful than scrolls. Salin regretted for the first time. If he had known that the magic array was so useful, he wouldn't have chosen to learn magic potions. If he started learning again now, he would have to face a huge and complicated system. Even though he had the Goddess's Necklace, which could shorten the calculation time by dozens or hundreds of times, it was still not a good choice.
Unless he had become a Magic Shooter and could prolong his life, he wouldn't waste too much time on the magic array and affect his advancement.
Sorcerers pursue truth, not pure power. The magic array couldn't explain the true nature of this world. It could only concentrate the power of the elements and control them in a regular pattern.
"It's about time. You two, pay attention!" Salin bent down and pressed his hands on the magic array in the center. Lines of magic formulas were activated, and countless magic patterns rippled. The magic cores on the seven magic arrays lit up one by one, and a huge ice bomb with a diameter of more than three meters was formed in front of the three crystals in front of them.
The ice bomb was still expanding, and it was extremely unstable. Salin couldn't control himself in just over 30 vibrations, let alone Daniel and Rex.
The huge ice bomb flew out. This time, it actually flew more than a mile. Salin couldn't even tell where it went with his perception. Judging from its trajectory, the ice bomb was still flying very high.
There was a dull explosion in the distance. With a click, the oval alchemy machine cracked. The crystal embedded in the front fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Daniel was so heartbroken that he almost cried. Such a huge crystal, even if it was just a non-elemental crystal, could be used to make a crystal magic book. At least, it could store a sequence spell.
Now that it was broken in front of him, Daniel rubbed his hands and looked at Salin.
"What are you looking at? It's all for you!" Salin frowned. He picked up the crystal pieces and put them away. He said to Daniel, "Where do you think the undead creatures on this island will be sealed?"
Salin could only find some secrets about necromancers from his memory. He couldn't find the location of the seal at all.
"The best place should be under the Magic Tower, but that's unlikely." Daniel hesitated. He said to Salin, "If I absorb the ghost fog, the undead creatures will automatically break the seal. Is that okay?"
"Huh? It's not enough to just kill the ghost monsters? "
"Of course not. The magic matrix on this island is very strange. It's an endless loop. I can't find the starting point, so I can only use this stupid method."
"No rush. There's still a long time before dawn. Silva, Neris, come out." Salin called out the two resting in the Magic Tower. He said to them, "I've killed most of the ghost monsters. The magic matrix seems to be broken. You two guard this place first. Don't let the surviving ghost monsters come in. I have something to talk to Daniel about."
"Yes, Master." Nelis had completely forgotten about Silva's threat to her. She giggled as she pulled Silva's sleeve and came to the edge of the platform. The fog here had become much thinner. The burning power of Rex's flames had dissipated, but the ghost fog did not invade again.
Daniel followed Salin into the Magic Tower. Rex didn't follow. Salin closed the half-broken door and tilted his head to look at Daniel. His blue eyes glowed faintly in the darkness. He looked very much like a magical beast that chose its prey.
Daniel tensed up. He'd never seen Salin show such an expression.
Salin looked at Daniel for a while and said, "Daniel, I'm 17 this year. I'll be 18 soon."
Daniel didn't understand what Salin meant. He just nodded blankly. Salin thought for a while about how to express himself. He continued, "Maybe you don't want to be my follower. That's okay. With the contract, I don't care what you think. I'm going to be an adult soon. I'll use an adult's way to explain my point of view. If you lie to me again, I'll take everything away from you. "
"Everything?" Daniel's simple face showed a hint of anger. He tried to lower his voice and said, "Salin, it's not impossible for you to gain my respect. But how are you going to subdue me? A black crystal? "
"It's Rex who wants to subdue you, not me. I just don't want you to die so early. You didn't have this attitude when we signed the contract. Is this a Tanggulas person? Hehe … "
"So what if I'm a Tanggulas person? At least I have faith!"
"Yes, Tanggulas has the Radiant Plain and the grace of God. Unfortunately, you won't be able to enjoy this glory anymore. Daniel, do you think I'm joking? I said I can take everything away from you, including your Necromancy Flames. "
Salin's blue eyes emitted coldness in the darkness. Daniel didn't dare to retort. He'd seen Salin use Divine Spells. That was a Divine Spell that countered Necromancy. Salin wasn't trying to scare him. If Salin really got angry, his Necromancy Flames and Winged Skeletons would all be turned to dust by the Divine Spell.
"Tell me honestly now. What are the origins of the Necromancy creatures on this island that you can't forget? If you say you don't know, you won't have another chance. "
Salin caressed the Blessing Ring on his hand as he spoke. His left hand was dry, like a skeleton with only skin and bones. Compared to Daniel, he looked more like a Necromancer.
