Salin had a vast amount of knowledge, but he could not be considered an erudite person. He devoted all his energy to learning magic. As for knowledge outside of magic and combat, he could only forcibly retain it in his mind with memory magic, and did not have much time to read it.
Recently, he had been learning the hieroglyphs with Eileen, so Salin focused on understanding the more complicated parts of theological knowledge.
It was precisely because of this understanding that he had an illusion that he was obstructing the resurrection of the Goddess.
No, the Goddess was not a deity that required a large number of believers. Even if this statue became a real deity, it would not be Myers. Salin was a little dazed. The surrounding environment was still changing, and the scale of the ruins was constantly expanding. In the distance, an angry roar clearly reached everyone's ears.
Great Demon!
There were a large number of spaces in Lorgar's Labyrinth, and the creatures in those spaces were struggling at death's door because of the statue, but this level-10 Great Demon was not one of them.
The life of a Great Demon was extremely long. In Lorgar City, there was no need to fight, and there was no risk of dying young. Under the effect of the Goddess's divine spell, even a human without a level could live as long as a Magic Shooter. Obviously, this Great Demon had not reached the end of its life, and did not need the protection of the statue.
The roar was getting closer and closer, and was obviously directed at Salin and the others. Even if Salin did not understand the demonic language, he understood how angry this Great Demon was.
He had destroyed Lorgar City, and this Great Demon was going all out. If it was someone else, they might not think so, but Salin had obtained a notebook written by a Great Demon, and understood the feelings of demonic creatures.
Unlike Purgatory creatures, demons were as emotional as humans. The equipment that Salin was wearing now was left behind by a Great Demon. In order to find traces left behind by its master, this Great Demon had wandered in the Myers Plane for countless years.
This Great Demon guarding Lorgar City probably had deeper feelings for the Goddess Myers than the Great Demon who loved humans. Salin's scalp went numb at the thought of it.
It was impossible to launch a sneak attack at this time. This was no longer an examination, and the angry Great Demon would kill everyone. Did they really have to use Rex's Divine Sifter Ring in advance? If they used it, they would no longer have any protection when they encountered trouble in the core shrine.
"Salin, give me a leaf from the Eternal Tree." Eleanor suddenly spoke. Without hesitation, Salin took out a branch of the Tree of Eternity from his Dimensional Stone and used the water flame to refine a piece of wood about the length of an arm.
The material of the Tree of Eternity was much harder than metal, but it was very light. Holding it in her hand, Eirinn cut her finger with her fingernail and began to write Elvish words on the wood.
One by one, the bright red words seeped into the wood. The speed at which Eleanor wrote made Salin feel that she would soon die from excessive blood loss. The Great Demon's voice was getting closer and closer. If not for the fact that the surrounding space had not been completely shattered, with the Great Demon's strength, it would probably not take more than three seconds to reach them.
Although Ismail was puzzled as to why Rex didn't use the artifact to deal with the Greater Demon, he didn't say anything. He wanted to see what Salin's subordinates were capable of, so that he could have a principle for doing things in the future. If they were all weak, he could just get rid of them one by one and let the Stitched Corpses and Evil Knights he had collected fight for Salin.
As a Purgatory Walker, Ismail still didn't trust his own eyesight. It was hard to see through the people around Salin, especially that woman called Nelis. She could actually go against his will and use the Shapeshifting Spell. Ismail's current image wasn't what he wanted at all. It was completely forced upon him by Nelis.
In just a few seconds, Eirinn had finished writing. She handed the wood to Salin and said, "Just forge it into the shape of an arrow."
The water flame in Salin's palm only took a slow swipe on the wood, and the wood was processed into the shape of an arrow, except that the tail was a piece of emerald green leaf.
This alchemy weapon could be said to be extremely crude, but the moment it was formed, Salin immediately felt the power of life being born in this wooden arrow. It was like a living creature that naturally circulated.
Eirinn glanced at Nelis coldly and said, "Didn't you want to learn archery? What you saw today was the Living Archery. Do you remember it all? "
When Eirinn was writing those elven words, Nelis naturally didn't take her eyes off her. She memorized everything and nodded when Eirinn asked her a question. Eirinn continued, "In a rush, I only used ten years of my lifespan on this arrow. It can definitely stop that Great Demon for a moment. Salin, are you confident that you can kill him?"
Salin nodded bitterly. Although Eirinn was an elf and had a long lifespan, this kind of skill had directly used up ten years of her lifespan. Salin, are you confident that you can kill him?
"The Spatial Arrow can be broken by the strong, but the Living Arrow …" Eirinn's expression was solemn. She picked up her short bow and nocked the newly forged Living Arrow. She roared, "Go!"
The green arrow flew out with a blurry afterimage. In front of the Living Arrow, the figure of the Great Demon had already appeared. It was less than a hundred meters away. This Great Demon was no more than three meters tall, and its body was covered in silver scales, which were draped over its body like a human. Only Demons of the ninth rank and above could naturally shed the natural keratin on their bodies and create the most powerful demonic armor. The weapon in the Great Demon's hand was a huge meteor hammer. He rushed over, leaving afterimages behind him. The roar from his mouth exploded with powerful sound waves.
When the Living Arrow appeared in front of him, the Great Demon reached out to grab it. With a poof, the Living Arrow directly sank into the Great Demon's arm.
The Great Demon was waving the meteor hammer and charging forward. He didn't expect an arrow to hurt him at all. The Great Demon was instantly frozen in place. However, the meteor hammer in his hand still locked onto Salin and flew over.
This meteor hammer was more than half a meter in diameter, and the spikes on it were all translucent crystallized materials. The hammer head was connected to a black shadow, and the end was still in the Great Demon's hand. The hammer head attacked Salin from a hundred meters away. Salin couldn't move his limbs at all. It was as if what was flying at him wasn't a meteor hammer, but a mountain.
If this meteor hammer hit him, he would definitely feel as if he was being crushed by a mountain.
Salin had experienced many life and death situations. At this time, he finally showed his extraordinariness. Under the Great Demon's mental lock, he still took out his family badge. With a flash of blue electricity in his hand, he had already activated the power within the badge.
The only one who wasn't controlled by the Great Demon's mental pressure was Shika. Even Byrne was startled. Shika had already picked up her staff and swept it towards the meteor hammer.
Bang! Bang!
Byrne's reaction was a bit slower, but his speed was faster than Shika's. The two attacked one after the other, and flew out at the same time.
As soon as Shika's staff touched the meteor hammer, her feet left the ground. There was no other way. If she forcefully borrowed the power of the earth, she would be completely smashed into meat paste. Only by flying out could she alleviate the impact of the meteor hammer. Byrne appeared strangely behind the Great Demon and stabbed him with his blade. Then, he was whipped away by the Great Demon's tail.
The two of them flew out a distance of a hundred meters, one in front and one behind.
Salin's long black hair fluttered in the wind. Only then did Neris jump over the meteor hammer. She held the Dragon Tooth Dagger and slashed at the shadow behind the hammer. Then, she was also bounced away.
In such a short period of time, Salin did three more things. He released a Water Pattern Shield, a Construct Puppet, and finally, a scroll with one hand.
The Great Demon was nailed to the ground, but it still used its mental power to control the meteor hammer. Rex and her mages desperately released defensive spells, but whatever Crystal Guard, Stone Wall, or Earth Totem, they were all shattered by the meteor hammer.
Salin didn't move, completely ignoring the meteor hammer flying towards him. He knew that this was the Great Demon's mental lock attack. With his speed, there was no way he could dodge it. He raised his badge and pointed it at the Great Demon. A dark blue lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, flew towards the Great Demon's chest.
This lightning was the energy that Salin had stored for almost a year. It was much smaller than the last time he released it, but its color was purer. The speed of the lightning was not something that the Great Demon, who had been frozen by the Life Arrow, could dodge. The Life Arrow stopped the Great Demon for at least half a second. When Salin released the lightning, the Great Demon was struck in the chest at the same time.
With a puff of green smoke, the Great Demon was cut in half by the lightning. Everywhere the lightning passed, everything turned to dust.
Ismail was dumbfounded. This master actually had such a powerful weapon. It was beyond his imagination. Even a demon god would not be able to resist this attack, much less a 10th-tier Great Demon.
No wonder Master could be on equal footing with that woman with the divine weapon. With this kind of attack, unless there was a special skill to restrain it, one would die if they were hit.
Ismail saw more clearly than anyone else. The moment the lightning and the Great Demon came into contact, an immeasurably high temperature formed. The Great Demon's tough body was no different from a paper doll. It was directly cut in half.
A bubble suddenly appeared on the Great Demon's meteor hammer. Salin had actually added a defensive spell to the meteor hammer. Then, the tall Construct Puppet pounced forward and was smashed into a metal pie by the meteor hammer. Finally, it was Salin's scroll. A tall three-sided icicle suddenly appeared on the ground, blocking in front of the meteor hammer.
The meteor hammer had already slowed down. With the appearance of the icicle, the meteor hammer seemed to have lost its target and flew to Salin's left.
Salin had actually used a spell that he was not familiar with — Prism Refraction — to destroy the Great Demon's mental lock. The Great Demon was already dead. The original lock had been deviated by the Prism Refraction. If the Great Demon was still alive, of course it would not be troubled by a 5th-tier spell. Salin had calculated that he could kill the Great Demon in a second, which was why he dared to take the risk.
Just now, if the Great Demon did not die, it would be him.
Salin's body swayed. Ismail wanted to help him, but Trish blocked him with an outstretched hand. He said coldly, "You are a follower. Next time, remember not to hide when there is danger."
"Cough … Salin, are you okay?" Shika crawled out of the ruins a hundred meters behind him. Her eyes were a little red, but she was not seriously injured.
