[Here's the fourth update]
The speed of Salin's fleet became extremely slow. The Desolate Warship moved to the front of the fleet, while the Skeleton Warship cleaned up the sea monsters killed by the Desolate Warship. As for the Dragon Skeleton Warship, it became Neris's ship. The Winged Skeleton simply entered the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship and continued to search for a way to enter the Frozen Sea.
The magic compass near the Frozen Sea would occasionally malfunction, and the mountain range at the bottom of the sea would not change too much. It could be used as a reference to draw a good map of the bottom of the sea. It would be much easier to enter the Frozen Sea in the future.
They advanced two to three hundred miles every day, and there were more and more ice floes on the sea. The Desolate Warship did not dare to crash into them recklessly.
Although they could break through the ice floes by relying on the sturdiness of the warship and the sharp ram at the front, they would also consume the more expensive Level-9 Magic Cores. Salin did not allow the mechanical undead to waste them, so they could only slow down and advance slowly. He had no interest in finding the Narwhal's graveyard, because even if he did find it, Salin would not share any of the benefits with him.
Salin used this time to create twenty-four Fragments of Eternal Control and came to the Desolate Warship. Beside him were Neris, Nicholas, and Eleanor, the Water Puppet.
"Huan Ya, give me 100 clones to command. Then, open the smallest cabin. I need Ancient Era's Warriors."
"Master, I can't promise …"
"Hurry up." Salin said impatiently. This mechanical undead was really stubborn. It would not obey no matter what. The mechanical undead did not control every corner of the Desolate Warship, but just opening a cabin was not dangerous. There were more than a thousand mechanical undead clones on the warship, and each of them was very strong. At least they were hard to kill.
Controlling an ancient warrior in a cabin was not a problem, but the mechanical undead kept giving him trouble. Salin was very impatient.
"Okay, master, please follow me." A mechanical undead clone bent down and opened a cabin door on the deck, inviting Salin down the spiral staircase.
The upper three floors had basically been cleared by Yun Liu's people. The mechanical undead had replicated them according to the blueprints, but there were only about a thousand doppelgangers scattered on the battleship, which was more than one kilometer long and more than three hundred meters wide.
At the back of the Desolate Warship, Salin went down to the fourth floor. The cabins at the back of the fourth floor had a honeycomb-like structure. Dozens of cabins for soldiers to sleep in were sealed off by a red metal door. The door was round in shape and engraved with magic runes. In the center, there was a complicated magic lock.
"Open the door." On Salin's left stood Neris, on his right stood Nicholas, and behind him was Eleanor. As the place was a little narrow, there were only a dozen mechanical undead clones beside him.
The mechanical undead was helpless. It began to devour the metal door of the soldier cabin. The red metal door slowly turned silver, and the magic lock on it was almost instantly broken by the mechanical undead. After tens of thousands of years, this kind of magic lock no longer had the support of magic power. Almost mid-level Magicians could use magic strings to forcefully break it.
The mechanical undead knew that the soldiers in this cabin were all sleeping soldiers. Moreover, these soldiers' battle strength was somewhat terrifying. Even at its current level, it did not want to directly clash with them. It could not resist Salin's forceful order, so it simply devoured all the metal in the cabin, completely surrounding the cabin with its body.
The round metal door silently opened. Salin did not dare to be careless. Outside of the Ice Pattern Armor on his body, there were several layers of Water Pattern Shields. He had already understood the fighting style of the Ancient Martialists. This kind of defense could withstand one or two strong attacks.
This was especially so for the Water Pattern Shields. After advancing to Rank 7, coupled with Salin's computing ability, it could reduce more than half of a warrior's attack power.
Behind the metal door was a simple rectangular cabin. The space inside the cabin was not big, and there were forty beds on both sides. On every bed, there was a fully armed Ancient Era's Martialist.
These Ancient Martialists wore Tainted Blood Armor and had their eyes closed. The moment the door opened, all the Ancient Martialists' eyelids shot up and their necks turned slightly, quickly waking up from their sleep.
Salin did not expect these soldiers, who had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, to wake up immediately. According to his calculations, the souls of these Rank 9 Warriors were already extremely weak, and it should take at least an hour for them to wake up. The recovery power of the soul was about twelve times that of the elemental decay.
Fortunately, there were only forty soldiers in the cabin, much less than Salin had expected. The crystal ring had been given to the water puppet. At least before all the soldiers rushed out, the water puppet could seal the door for a moment and let the mechanical undead close the door again.
At the end of the cabin was a weapon rack. Forty long spears were stabbed there, as well as the short swords that ancient humans liked to use.
"Nelis!" Salin saw ten Warriors jump from the bed, land on their feet, and rush out of the room in the blink of an eye. The remaining thirty Warriors, on the other hand, pounced on the weapon rack and reached out to grab their spears.
Nelis helplessly opened the 12 Movements of Purgatory, and the ten Warriors rushed directly into the Dark Purgatory. Nelis rushed in as well. As soon as she entered the Dark Purgatory, Nelis transformed into a demon god. Of her four arms, one had not recovered. When she had killed the White Bear King, the powerful impact had broken one of her arms into several pieces.
Having three arms was enough!
Nelis took out a spear and a new giant shield. With a smash of the shield, the ten ancient warriors were all within her attack range.
The Dark Purgatory had almost been repaired. When the giant shield smashed down, there was no sound at all. These Warriors had just woken up, and their souls were almost dissipating. Even ancient magic could not allow them to live for tens of thousands of years. The state of these Warriors could be considered half-undead.
The Mages who had designed the ancient warship had not expected this situation.
The spears of the ten Warriors stabbed upwards and pierced through the shield. However, the shield was more than a meter thick, and it relied entirely on its weight to win. If Nelis did not transform into a demon god and had the power of a dragon, she would not be able to lift it at all.
In the boundless darkness, the perception of the Warriors who had just woken up was reduced to the lowest. After the spears pierced through the shield, everyone was heavily smashed on the head by the shield.
They had not been refined by the Bone Refining Technique, and their heads were vital points. Although the Filthy Blood Armor had a powerful defense, it could not withstand the smashing of such a huge metal shield. The ten Warriors were stunned by Nelis's shield. They tried to pull out their spears, but they were smashed into the ground again by Nelis's shield.
Boom!
For the third time, the bodies of the ten Warriors lit up with a red light. Their heads pierced through the shield, and their bodies were embedded in it.
Nelis let go, and the shield fell to the ground with the upper halves of the ten Warriors stuck in it.
The blood-red aura was different from the sword aura, but the effect was the same. Nelis's shield failed to kill the ten Warriors. Nelis knew that this was because the weapon was too weak. If he had used the skull of the dragon on the warship, even these ninth level Warriors would have been smashed to death.
Nelis had long since expected this result. Her demon god avatar was sturdy enough, but when she stepped on the body of a ninth level Divine Protector, the body of the Divine Protector had pierced through her foot. It took a long time for her injury to recover.
Nelis swept her spear horizontally like a noble playing polo. The spear ruthlessly smashed into the head of the Warrior who was stuck in the shield.
This time, Nelis displayed her spear technique to the extreme. Using the weight of the spear, the length of the shaft, and the speed and angle of the swing, even the ninth level Warriors couldn't withstand such a blow from the demon god avatar. The blood-red aura was dispersed by Nelis's spear. The Warriors who hadn't yet recovered their senses completely fainted.
Nelis's spear was like a dragon's tail in the darkness, whipping the ten soldiers one by one, knocking them unconscious. Then Nelis used the tip of her spear to stab the unconscious soldiers to death one by one.
The demon god avatar possessed strength surpassing the ninth level. Nelis had a good understanding of the combat methods and abilities of these ancient warriors, so she devised this method of smashing the Warriors with her shield, creating a magic imprisonment effect.
After killing the ten Warriors, she quickly left the Purgatory of Darkness and returned to the cabin.
"Master!"
"Nelis, it's fine." Salin calmly stood there. The thick metal door of the cabin had already been closed, but the magic lock couldn't be activated. The Warriors inside were using their weapons to attack the door. Spears with blood-red aura kept stabbing out of the door. It looked like they were about to cut a big hole in the sturdy metal door.
"I'll kill them all!" Nelis said concisely.
"Okay, at most six more." Salin's reply made the mechanical undead feel a little dizzy. No wonder he didn't let him provoke Nelis. Nelis was indeed a fierce character.
The mechanical undead didn't know that these Warriors had just woken up. The Purgatory of Darkness happened to be able to control the Warriors' senses. The battle was completely a one-sided massacre.
Boom!
The circular metal door was suddenly violently hit, and a twisted hole appeared. A Warrior covered in blood-red aura rushed out, the spear in his hand pointed straight at Salin's chest.
The golden magic book in Salin's hand opened — Endless Night!
This ninth level Warrior rushed into the endless darkness. The dark elements eroded his weapons and armor. If not for the protection of the red aura, he would instantly be melted by the ninth level Endless Night and become a part of the darkness.
Salin's elemental eyes opened, and quickly found the core of the Warrior's life force.
Stone Statue Army!
On Salin's Demonic God Set, another ninth level spell was activated. Six tall stone statues rushed up and blocked the hole in the cabin door. These stone statues were elemental life forms. They could create six of them every minute for up to three hours. This skill wasn't very useful for mages, but in narrow areas, these six huge stone statues could protect mages for a long time.
