[The second update, there are still two more updates. So this is going to be the legendary eruption? It's been more than 50 days.]
It wasn't difficult for Rain of Fire to advance to Level-9. However, it was extremely difficult to increase the attack power of Rain of Fire. The fire element was the most violent, and it was extremely difficult to control. The attack range of Rain of Fire was also very large. No Mage was willing to waste time on it.
The fireballs that filled the sky were each more than a meter in diameter. After spreading out, they didn't seem very powerful. However, every fireball hit the Magic Tower with great accuracy.
The defense of the Mage Tower was undoubtedly strong. Even a Level-9 spell couldn't do anything to it. However, these Mage Towers had to maintain the city's defense. Under such a fierce attack, they couldn't protect all the targets in the city at the same time.
The Level-9 Magic Shooter in the sky didn't fly down when he saw that the no-flying domain had lost its effect. Instead, he started chanting again.
Rex said helplessly, "Salin, our palace might be destroyed."
"He wants to destroy the palace?"
"That must be the case. If he kills ordinary people, Alchemy City might issue an order to hunt him down. In the future, he can only hide in his nest. Even his own Mage Tower isn't safe. However, if he destroys the palace, we can still withdraw our soldiers and officials. "
"Lace, how many more attacks can your God Sifting Ring withstand?" Salin asked as he caressed his clan's crest.
"If it's the one in the sky, it can only block once. Salin, what are you trying to do? "Rex asked nervously. If he hid in the Mage Tower, the Level-9 Magic Shooter could only destroy other things in the city. He definitely wouldn't dare to get close. But to kill this 9th Rank High Mage, Salin had to get close enough to lock onto the High Mage. Only then could he succeed.
The difference in rank made the lock-on distance even shorter.
"I want to advance. Otherwise, I can't use the Eye of Lightning a second time. I can't unleash the power of the Demonic God Set either. Lily, if I can advance the magic on my set, I have the confidence to lock onto this Magic Shooter. "
"Endless Night?"
"Yes. A Level-8 Endless Night can trap a Level-9 Magic Shooter for at least half a second, no matter how strong he is. With my crest, even a Level-10 powerhouse can't block it. "
Rex's expression calmed down, and Salin didn't lose his mind in anger. She could only say, "I'll ask Stephanie and borrow this place for your advancement."
Salin smiled. Rex didn't ask him if he was confident, which was a sign of absolute trust.
Rex walked down to the eighth floor of the magic tower, while Salin began to meditate. Not long after, Rex returned. The huge fireball outside the magic tower was still bombarding continuously. The pieces of the fireball were flying everywhere, and the surrounding palace was set ablaze.
"She agreed, Salin. What do you need me to do?"
Rex's words were very brief. Salin walked to the spot where Stephanie usually meditated and sat down. He said, "My advancement might take more than a day, and I can't stop yet. Help me guard it. "
"Alright." Rex only replied with one word. Then, he retreated to a corner of the magic tower, sat down, and waited quietly.
On the eighth floor of the Magic Tower, the magic formation for the advancement of Magic Shooters had already been set up. Salin needed Rex to activate it. He took out the dragon crystal shard and a complete Divine Crystal.
Salin's advancement was as difficult as Rex's. Without the replenishment of these two things, he wouldn't be able to persist at all.
In the eighth floor of the magic tower, the density of the elements was many times higher than in the seventh floor. After the magic formation was fully activated, Salin felt that he could even cast hundreds of mid-level spells in an instant. His mental strength spread out, and he felt that the six elements in the magic tower were about to condense into visible solids.
However, this wasn't what Salin wanted. The Demonic God Equipment Set on his body suddenly expanded, and the outer armor grew bigger. The Demonic God Equipment Set was like a bulging tent, covering Salin up. The six elements were filtered by the Demonic God Equipment Set before coming to Salin.
All the elements were converted into water elements by the Demonic God Equipment Set.
These water elements weren't pure, but their density had increased by dozens of times. Salin's skin tightened, as if he was under great pressure underwater.
The magic strings in Salin's body began to grow smoothly, and he didn't even need to guide them. Ever since he had the Demonic God Equipment Set, Salin could more easily sense the mysteries of level-seven spells. His understanding of the elements was already not much different from that of a level-seven Magic Shooter.
However, his magic strings could only trigger water elements to form spells. If he wanted to release spells of the other five elements, he still had to go through the process of converting the elements. This made Salin's fighting style different from other Mages.
He tried his best to compress the time of releasing spells, and tried his best to make every spell perfect. He tried his best to omit the processes that could be eliminated. This made Salin's understanding of the water elements reach a level that other Mages couldn't reach.
Salin sat there, the mask still on his face. There was a magic core of a level-12 magic beast embedded in the forehead of the mask. This was equivalent to the dragon crystal of a level-nine giant dragon.
Thirty-six Magic Strings emerged from Salin's body. His Magic Strings were sparkling and translucent, carrying a faint blue color. Salin's body was originally going to give birth to a Water Elemental Body. When the magic strings grew, they also madly absorbed the water elements in the Demonic God Equipment Set.
These water elements were mostly converted from other elements. Some were impure, but after being filtered by Salin's body, they became pure.
In Salin's body, the characteristics of the other five major elements would be left. His body, which had been a little unbalanced before, finally started to stabilize.
This was a necessary process. Pure water elements couldn't allow Salin to advance to the level of Magic Shooter.
Salin's Magic Strings grew very quickly. He had an advantage over Rex in terms of advancement, because Salin's knowledge of Magic Shooters didn't just come from books, but also from his own actions. He had learned high-level magic and experienced it.
What Salin lacked was confidence in his advancement.
Now, he had confidence. Less than five minutes ago, he had killed a level-eight Magic Shooter with his own hands. This gave Salin great confidence. He no longer felt that Magic Shooters were an unattainable existence. This time, he didn't use his crystal finger or his family badge. He relied entirely on his own equipment, his own ability, and his strong judgment to do it.
With confidence, Salin decided to advance to the level of Magic Shooter immediately. This was because he still had to deal with the people from Alchemy City. After returning to Metatlin, Alchemy City would definitely find trouble with him.
Although the level-nine Magic Shooter in front of him was strong, Salin could still use his family badge to deal with him. But Alchemy City could only rely on their own ability to speak.
After advancing to the level of Magic Shooter, Salin could enter the Six Dimensional Space and advance to the level of a level-nine Magic Shooter in the shortest time possible.
Without looking at the intelligence gathered by Rex from all over the continent, Salin could tell that the power of humans was recovering in this plane. He could tell from the warriors he gathered that to recruit high-level Swordsmen, a lot of people had to be selected. But now? Salin could build an entire flag corps with swordsmen.
If he wasn't worried about the imbalance of power in the army, Salin could even build a battalion army completely made up of swordsmen.
This also meant that before Metatlin had completely conquered one-third of Phoenix's land, Salin would be able to gather almost 10,000 swordsmen.
The increase in the level of mages was even more obvious. Rex left Salin close to a thousand low-level mages. When Salin first met Rex, Rex didn't have so many mages under him.
Now, Rex even had hundreds of Great Mages. Even though they were mostly level-four, this also showed a problem. The power of humans was advancing collectively.
This advancement was too obvious, and it made Salin feel even more pressured. He wasn't sure if the mages of the Vatican would also become stronger, but he had to be prepared. Perhaps in the near future, he would have to fight against a group of powerful mages, and not like now. The number of mages in the army could only be at a disadvantage, and they couldn't fight against mages.
Low-level mages only had six Magic Strings. Each Magic String could release a type of magic, and the number of spells released was six of the same level. After releasing six spells, the Magic String of this type would basically be used up. They could only wait for it to recover before they could use the power of the elements again.
And for Great Mages, on each Magic String branch, six new branches would grow. The original six branches would gradually shrink, and the total number of Magic Strings would become 36 branches. Only then would a mage be considered to have advanced to Great Mage. This wasn't the case for a small number of mages. Perhaps the six Magic Strings had become abnormally thick, and this would only form branches when they advanced to Magic Shooter. But for mages, the number of elements they could use was the same.
Salin had 36 Magic Strings now, and these 36 Magic Strings continuously absorbed the power of the water element to complete their evolution.
And Salin knew that because he had the Body of Element, this evolution of Magic Strings wouldn't be dangerous. He had enough experience and theory, and he had a better grasp of the balance of energy than most level-seven Magic Shooters.
Salin understood more and more about the rule power in the book cover that Isabella gave him.
What Salin wanted to advance was the power of the Eye of Thunder. In the goddess' necklace, the 24 level-nine thunder dragons had entered a continuous deep sleep because of their advancement through a special method. Every time they were awake, they had to eat large amounts of food and shed their skin. The shed skin of the thunder dragons was good stuff. It was covered in lightning mageweaths, and Salin had studied it thoroughly.
Only by mastering the power of lightning could he truly fight against Alchemy City.
