"Publish a new chapter to make up for yesterday's."
"Burn!" Black William's hands were shaking violently. Although his body was temporarily frozen, he still flipped a page of the book in his hands.
Instantly, a pale red flame appeared out of nowhere. Different from magic, this flame created by divine spell engulfed Nelis who was charging at Black William.
In the flame, blue electric currents flashed all over Nelis's body as she charged forward. She covered the hundred meters in the blink of an eye. There was still a crystal arrow in Black William's abdomen. His movement was affected, and Nelis was able to reach him.
Nelis's longsword was just for show. Her sword skills were terrible, so she simply threw the longsword away and punched Black William's chest.
Black William's robe shone with huge divine runes. Nelis's fist was in so much pain that it felt like it was broken. She quickly retracted her hand. A dragon tooth dagger appeared in her left hand. She turned her body and slashed at Black William's neck.
Black William was quite shaken by Nelis's punch. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He did not dare to fight with this powerful Warrior. He pulled his body straight up, grabbed the tail of the crystal arrow, and pulled it out.
As soon as the crystal arrow left his body, Black William immediately felt the numbness lighten. He saw that the two Mages who set him up had cast spells to accelerate and escaped toward the campsite. He did not dare to fight with Nelis in close combat, but he did not want to let the two Mages go.
Black William was heavily injured by the crystal arrow and lost his composure. He even forgot that the male Mage had used some unknown method to get rid of the shackles of his level-seven divine spell.
To be able to get rid of the shackles of a level-seven divine spell was enough to prove the Mage's strength. However, anger won over reason. Black William was determined to kill the two Mages to avenge his humiliation.
He had been fighting with the other five apprentices for more than 30 years. If this got out, his position in the Inquisition would be greatly affected. Black William was furious. It was not that he had never been injured before, but this was the first time he was injured by a Mage who was two levels lower than him with a skill other than magic.
He casually threw the crystal arrow away. The wound on his abdomen slowly healed, and the blood was stopped. The two Mages were already a mile away. Black William gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of high-level holy water, and drank it. The numbness in his abdomen had completely disappeared. His speed suddenly increased to the point where he wasn't injured. He soared into the air and got rid of Neris, who jumped up to attack him.
A pair of black wings grew out from the sides of Black William's robe, and his speed instantly doubled.
The Magician in front of them seemed to have eyes on his back. Suddenly, he flew up with the female Magician beside him. At the same time, a thick fog appeared around the male Magician. The fog was more than a hundred meters in diameter, concealing the Magician.
Black William sneered. He opened the black book in his hand to the last page, and 360 divine symbols flew out and surrounded his body. A black scythe appeared in his hand. The scythe was only a meter long, slightly bigger than the tools used by farmers. It looked rusty and had a tinge of red on it.
Hiding in the fog and using magic attacks in the dark, this mage's battle awareness is not bad. Unfortunately, I have the Holy Artifact given to me by the Chief Inquisitor — Soul Reaper.
This scythe is used to destroy elemental shields. With his speed, Black William could even get close to warriors and kill them with one hit with the scythe. Does that mage think he'll be fine just by hiding?
Black William sped up. The scythe left his hand and automatically floated in front of him, ready to attack at any time.
He was so fast that he was already close to the edge of the fog. If he went another two meters, he would be able to sense the location of the mage in the fog. The Soul Reaper sensed souls, and all tricks of confusion would be useless. Unless you don't have a soul.
At this moment, something happened. The fog in front of him suddenly slowed down. The fog dispersed, and Black William saw that the young mage had turned around and stopped at the edge of the fog, less than five meters away from him. The silver magic book in the mage's hand was gone, but there was a ball of green light condensed on a small dot.
Black William felt his heart beating twice as fast. The green light flashed, and an unstoppable force came at him. Black William only had time to use his mental power to control the Soul Reaper to block in front of him for a while.
The famous Soul Reaper in the Vatican was crushed like a clay doll. The green light was only as thick as a finger. It penetrated Black William's protective divine runes, which exploded like a bowl of cold water being poured into a pot of boiling oil.
Eirinn looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. She was already very surprised when Salin carried her and flew. Salin was a level-five mage. She was very sure. It was difficult for a level-five mage to fly with their equipment, but Salin carried her and flew as fast as a level-seven magic shooter.
When the fog dispersed, she saw the scythe in front of Black William. She was shocked. She knew what the Soul Reaper looked like. In the Tanggulas Empire, this weapon was quite famous. It had killed at least a few hundred, if not thousands. None of those who were killed were ordinary people.
Black William was called the kind William because he never attacked ordinary people. Usually, the people of the Inquisition did not care if you were an ordinary person or a professional.
Killing a few hundred people was naturally not evil. After all, the job of the Inquisition was to eliminate dissidents. However, when Black William took action, he was always surrounded by people. He only took care of the most difficult targets. Without her bracelet, Eirinn thought that she was definitely going to die when she saw Black William approaching with the Soul Reaper.
At that moment, Salin suddenly tapped Black William lightly, and Black William's Soul Reaper shattered. That ray of light even destroyed the overflowing divine runes in the holy artifact and pierced through Black William's chest.
The raging elemental aura exploded. The wound that was only as thick as an arrow turned into a pile of debris in Eirinn's eyes. Black William's entire body was torn apart by the elemental torrent. The wound was gone because Black William had completely disappeared from this world.
What kind of magic is this!
Eirinn felt the unparalleled aura, but she saw Salin, who had unleashed this terrifying attack, fall to the ground. Eirinn could barely fly. She immediately dove down. On the ground, Nelis had already run over and caught Salin in her arms.
Nelis looked at Eirinn who had landed and sneered. "What? Do you want to attack when Master is tired? "
Eirinn was speechless. She knew how powerful Nelis was and did not dare to provoke her. She could only step back and stand there, not knowing what to say. She had heard from Salin and Rex that they were confident that they could kill Black William alone. She had thought that it would be a tough battle. Black William could continue fighting even after being hit by her magic arrow. Eirinn even thought that she had angered him and that it would be difficult for her to return to the camp and meet up with Rex.
Black William died without any warning. Salin closed his eyes tightly in Nelis's arms.
He was seriously injured this time. Using the Crystal Finger alone wouldn't make Salin faint. However, the huge golden shackles had instantly fixed Salin in place. Salin had used the Eye of the Thunder directly to break the level-seven divine spell. During this period of time, he could barely see and could only move with his senses.
It would be strange if Salin wasn't injured after using the Crystal Finger with his last breath. Nelis hugged Salin in her arms and glared at Eirinn. She leaped as if she was flying and ran hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye. Eirinn could only follow silently. She realized that even if she used the Wind Speed spell with all her might, she was still left further and further behind by Nelis.
If she still had the bracelet …
Eirinn didn't continue thinking. She had some understanding of Nelis's personality. It was absolutely impossible to get something back from her. Even if Salin agreed, she wouldn't want it. Because Nelis would make her regret it. Eirinn still held her elven short bow in her hand. She had never considered using it to attack Salin.
Just as Salin had said, she had nowhere to go. Following Salin could at least guarantee some safety.
Moreover, she had heard a shocking piece of news from the conversation between Black William and Rex. Salin and the others were looking for the seed of the sacred tree that Myers had left behind.
Salin had asked her to follow him. That meant that he didn't plan to let her leave.
Eirinn smiled bitterly. She felt a little sour in her heart. She had come to this dimension by accident and met a human who she loved, but she didn't expect that this human would suddenly disappear, leaving behind a mess. She had organized the marquis's men because she had a premonition that the marquis would return. The lightning that fell from the sky didn't kill the marquis. It only brought the marquis to a place she didn't know.
She didn't have any feelings for the Pink Legion. She was only waiting for the marquis to return.
The marquis didn't return, and the Pink Legion had internal strife. At this time, the young duke of the Agares family had come to kill them. Everything was ruined. Eirinn was a little disheartened. Elves had a long lifespan and usually didn't have too many negative emotions. Even though all her relatives in this dimension had died, she didn't break down.
But she didn't want to die. Because if she died, she wouldn't have a chance to see the marquis again.
She would follow Salin. As long as he didn't kill her, it didn't matter what he did. Eirinn tried her best to speed up and went straight to Rex's camp.
Rex was waiting outside the camp. Seeing Salin being carried back by Nelis and lying motionless in her arms, Rex was shocked. She turned into the camp and chased all the swordsmen out. She took out a large wooden bucket from her Divine Sifter Ring and slowly filled it with Restoration Water.
The Restoration Water was accumulated by her, and the amount was enough for a battalion of soldiers.
"Silva!" Rex called Sicca into the barracks loudly and handed her a silver bottle. He said, "This is the magic liquid. Strip Salin naked and soak him in the Restoration Water. If the color of the Restoration Water turns pale, add three drops of the magic liquid."
After that, Rex left the camp and returned to the magic chariot. He didn't come out again.
Rex was a little annoyed. If it wasn't for Silva, he would be the one healing Salin, right? For some reason, Rex was a little jealous of Silva at this moment.
Silva saw Nelis coming back with Salin in her arms, but she wasn't in a hurry. Salin rarely did things that he wasn't confident about. He was the one who took the initiative to lure Black William, so his life wouldn't be in danger.
There was no one else in the barracks. Shika and Neris stripped Salin and put him in a wooden bucket.
The Restoration Water was very cold. Salin was put in the water by Nelis gently. Goosebumps rose on his skin. The Restoration Water looked transparent, but it was actually a little gray. If this gray disappeared, it meant that the Restoration Water's energy had been used up and no longer had any healing effect.
Nelis brought a chair for Silva to sit by the bucket and observe the changes in the water.
"How's that guy?" Silva asked.
"He can't be more dead." Nelis recalled the power of Salin's finger. Even she was a little frightened. A demon's body could automatically repair itself, but if it was hit, it would die immediately. There was no chance to recover.
"Where's Eleanor?"
"I warned her. She's very obedient," Nelis said proudly.
"Salin wants to subdue her. Don't give him trouble." Silva understood. She just didn't like to talk normally. She rarely didn't know Salin's plans.
"Subdue her?" Nelis's eyes widened. She asked, "Isn't Master on good terms with you? Why does he want that old woman? "
"Nonsense. Even without the bracelet, she's still a level-five mage. She's a good helper. And this woman doesn't care about fame and fortune. She's easy to raise. "
"Sister Silva, I thought Master liked her. Like I said, this woman is probably a few hundred years old. She can't hide from me with the ultimate transformation spell. But … "
"But what?"
"Why does Master feel weird here?" Nelis asked, pointing at Salin's lower body.
Silva said gloomily, "What's weird?"
"There's actually no spikes?" Nelis looked curiously at Salin's dispirited little brother. She even reached into the water to play with it.
Shika reached out to push Neris. "He's not a demon. Don't mess around, okay?"
"I'm not messing around. Sister Silva, without spikes, will you come out often?" Since Salin was unconscious, Nelis's words became more unrestrained.
Shika looked at Neris with a murderous look, and only then did Neris shut up. After a while, Shika dripped three drops of magic liquid into the bucket. He knew that Salin's body was actively absorbing the energy of the Restoration Water. This was a sign of improvement.
The Restoration Water was more useful to mages than ordinary people. This was because ordinary people could only passively absorb the energy contained in the Restoration Water, while mages actively absorbed it. The effect was dozens of times different.
"Sister Silva."
"What?"
"Even if there's no spikes, isn't it too small?"
Seeing Silva reach for the boomerang at her waist, Nelis hurriedly said, "I'm not mocking Master, but it's really small!"
"What do you know? It'll be big when you use it." Only Silva could say this. If it was Rex, he would've been pissed off by Nelis.
"Really, Sister Shika. Next time when you do it, can you let me see?" Nelis said innocently.
"Do you want to die?"
"Why are you angry? I'm Master's contracted creature. It's a soul contract. I feel Master's feelings too. Do you think I won't know what you're doing if I don't watch? "
Silva laughed and pointed at Nelis. "You're the one who's angry. No matter how hard you try, Salin won't want you."
"That's not necessarily true. I can transform into a real human body now."
"I know, but your fighting ability in human form is too pitiful." Shika's words made Neris feel deeply frustrated. She couldn't tease Shika, but she was provoked by Shika's words.
Looking at Silva's well-proportioned body, Nelis thought jealously, She's definitely not human. Maybe she's a demon beast. If I'm stronger than her, then …
Before thinking about how to deal with Silva, Salin suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of extravasated blood. His body slowly sank into the water. Nelis hurriedly reached out and helped Salin sit back down.
"Master, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It really f * cking hurts! " Salin felt like his fingers were repeatedly hit by a war hammer tens of thousands of times. This kind of pain was unprecedented. It wasn't that he hadn't practiced Crystal Finger before, but his target wasn't a human. The Crystal Finger broke Black William's protective holy runes, and Salin was also hurt by the holy runes.
Luckily, the damage was only on his fingers, and most of the force was absorbed by the crystal ring. Otherwise, all the bones in Salin's body would be broken, and there would be no hope.
"Cough …" Salin coughed again. This time, it was blood. He hurriedly grabbed the bottle from Silva's hand and poured the magic liquid into his mouth.
"Salin, how long will it take?" Silva was worried. Salin's injury was more serious than expected.
"Very soon. With the magic liquid, my injury will only take three days at most. It's my fault this time. If I were a Magic Shooter, I wouldn't be hurt at all. Next time there's something so dangerous, I'll let Rex do it. "
Salin's words came from the bottom of his heart. Rex's level was higher than his, and he had the secret skill of the Glücos family. Killing Black William definitely wouldn't cost him so much.
However, he didn't know that Black William still had the Vatican's Demi-Relic Weapon, but he didn't have the chance to use it against him. Black William didn't expect a Level-Five Spellcaster to have such powerful magic. He was killed because he was careless. If Black William took out the Demi-Relic Weapon, Salin would definitely be the one dead.
The semi-divine artifact was also destroyed by Salin's crystal finger. His own crystal ring had withstood almost all the backlash, but there was not a single crack on it. Rafael's crystal ring was comparable to a divine artifact in terms of quality.
"Zola!" Silva called. Zola walked in from outside the barracks.
"Tell Rex that Salin needs three days to recover from his injury. Ask her how to arrange the itinerary."
Salin never spoke to Zola in a commanding tone. However, Zola had very low immunity to beautiful women. Hearing Silva's words, he left happily.
"Master, how are you so sure that Black William will chase after you?" Nelis only then asked Salin about tactics. Silva was also listening at the side.
"This person has a very high status. He won't be willing to be a watcher. At first, he chased me to see if there was a chance. I didn't let others follow because only Nelis could make it so that he couldn't see any hidden power. It's very easy for a seventh-level mage or above to deal with a fifth-level mage without the protection of a swordsman. This is to make him let down his guard. If Zola follows, I'll be safe, but he might not make a move. "
Nelis nodded to show that she understood. Salin was just taking advantage of human nature. Even a seventh-level mage would have the mentality of taking advantage of others. Seeing that Salin was easy to bully, of course he would try.
Zola returned at this time and said to Salin, "Rex said to let you rest until tomorrow noon. We have to go into the desert immediately. As soon as that mage died, the three heads of the Inquisition will definitely know. There's a teleportation circle between the capital of Tanggulas and the border of Titan. Those old guys will arrive in three days. "
"Got it. Zola, you go rest too. Don't worry about the guard."
Zola was a little hesitant. Nelis pushed him out and said, "With me here, Master is very safe." Zola smiled. Had he finally gotten into character? Now he was really starting to care about Salin's safety.
In such a short time, the potency of the Healing Water was exhausted again. Salin closed his eyes to meditate. Shika poured the rest of the magic liquid into the wooden bucket. She wouldn't be stingy for Rex. This magic liquid was carried in extremely small containers, and the requirements for the containers were extremely high. This silver bottle was not bad, so Shika gave it to Nelis.
In Rex's magic chariot, Byrne sat opposite her. The other mages had left the chariot.
"Princess, that Salin's attack is very terrifying."
"Compared to Divine Punishment?"
"Divine Punishment is stronger, but his skill is penetrative. It's completely different."
"You're reminding me that the Ring of Godsifter may not be able to block his attack, right?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you very worried about him?"
Byrne was silent for a moment. "I also trust him now. However, any trust is limited. You being by his side makes me feel nervous. I can't block that magic of his at all. "
"Byrne, Salin and I have saved each other's lives in the Hell of Divine Punishment for a year."
"People change," Ye Zichen said.
"But you haven't changed. Byrne, let me ask you. Do you still plan to let your daughter learn magic from him? "
"Yes."
"That's good. Just pretend that nothing happened," Rex said confidently. "I've always been a good judge of character. Byrne, you should believe in my judgment."
"Princess …" Byrne didn't say what he was thinking in the end. He wasn't worried that Salin would harm Rex. Instead, he was worried that everything that belonged to Rex would become Salin's one day.
Some people didn't care, but some wouldn't. For the warriors loyal to Rex, as long as Rex was still their princess, it was enough for them. However, other than the mages, there was also a group of nobles around Rex. These people secretly helped Rex against Holy Rock City. What did they want?
Forget it. I'm going to die soon. I can't always protect Rex. I can only carry out the mission that the emperor gave me until the day of my death. Everything after that still depends on Rex.
