[Fourth update, monthly vote!!! I forgot to post the second update, so today's update was delayed.]
"Master, what should I do?" The water puppet was forcefully called out by Salin. It knew that Salin needed help now, so it could only put aside things that it hadn't figured out yet.
"You will control this Witcher Spider. The thickness of the city wall is about 120 meters. You will enter in six hours and attract the attention of the two level-9 Elemental Stone Soldiers on the left and right. Don't fight them, they can't be killed. As long as they attack you, you will transform into water. If they return to a fixed position, you will transform back into your current form to attract their attention."
"Understood. Six hours later," the water puppet answered succinctly and walked toward the city wall.
Salin didn't say much. He controlled the water to dig on the ground and quickly dug a deep hole. Now that the water had been refined by Salin, it was much faster to dig than during the construction of Metatlin City. Salin didn't care about preserving the stone material now, so he cut it boldly just to enter the city as soon as possible.
Behind him, Salin used the Demon God Ring to collect the cut stones. When the tunnel was ten meters deep, Salin turned around and filled the opening with the stones. Then, he used magic to seal the hole and collected the seawater in the tunnel into the Demon God Ring. Now, there was no seawater in the hole, and it was filled with the air that Salin had created.
Salin removed the Water Pattern Shield to avoid wasting the Magic String pointlessly. The water cut in front while he collected the stone material from the back. This speed was extremely fast. After the hole was 60 meters deep, Salin started digging into the city.
Soon, he touched the foundation of the city wall. Salin thought for a moment, then made a turn and started digging downwards. The material of the city wall was harder than the rocks on the ground. If he didn't use magic to slowly grind it, it would be difficult to dig a hole.
Salin dug down for 200 meters before he reached the end of the foundation of the city wall.
Adjusting the direction again, Salin started digging into the city. Time passed by. Salin estimated that it had been six hours before he continued digging. The thickness of the city wall was only about 120 meters. Salin dug at least 600 meters.
Feeling that it wouldn't be under any magic formation, Salin started digging upward. A hundred meters was a distance. When he was ten meters from the ground, Salin blocked the hole behind him again. He didn't forget to empty the air inside. Then he continued upward.
The appointed time with the water puppet was up. A huge tremor came from the ground. That was the sound of the Stone Soldiers running. Salin's water water drilled out of the ground and cut a small hole less than a meter in diameter. Then he quickly crawled out.
Two huge Stone Soldiers had already ran to the edge of the city wall. They smashed their huge hammers at the water puppet that had just appeared. Salin knew that the Water Golem wasn't afraid of physical attacks. With just a glance, he turned around and swam towards the depths of the city.
The entrance he entered was a small hole under a gate that was over a hundred meters tall. It looked like it had been bitten out by a giant rat.
Salin. Salin. Salin. Inside. Salin. A Salin. Salin. Salin. Salin.. Inside the room were tall tables and chairs. The legs of the tables were dozens of meters high.
Salin was determined. He swam under the table, flipped through the broken window, and entered a huge courtyard. After passing through the courtyard, there were more rooms behind it. After passing through three courtyards, Salin finally arrived in front of a large door. In front of this door were two huge stone statues, just like the courtyard of the Yun Liu people.
They weren't human. Instead, they were two Blue-Eyed Lions.
The Blue-Eyed Lions were more than fifty meters tall. They sat in front of the door. Salin hesitated. Then he walked down the steps. The two statues turned their heads to look at Salin. Salin held his head high. He strode forward, looking straight ahead. As expected, the two statues turned their heads back. They ignored Salin.
The principles of magic always had a common pattern. If the two Blue-Eyed Lions could distinguish between friend and foe by aura, they couldn't be placed in front of the main door. Otherwise, people would be killed by them. Even if they had magic devices to distinguish between friend and foe, they should have been damaged after so many years. Only their combat devices lasted the longest.
Salin was betting on the fact that after so many years, the magic device used to distinguish between friend and foe had been damaged. Without them, these devices placed in front of the main door wouldn't attack unless they showed hostility.
Salin looked around. This street was close to the city wall. It looked like a horse path. The houses on both sides of the street were huge. They didn't look like they were for humans, but for giants.
Salin didn't dare to swim higher. It was probably forbidden to fly above the city. He'd been attacked because he'd exceeded the height of the city wall. He'd spied into the city and triggered the magic formation's counterattack.
Ancient humans were powerful. The city's defenses didn't rely on magic formations. Level-Nine elemental creatures were just ordinary soldiers. Back in the day, there had been countless strong people in this city. Most of the magic formations were auxiliary daily necessities. Those used for combat were probably concentrated near the city wall.
Salin walked more than ten kilometers. He didn't see any creatures. He couldn't swim to higher ground, so he didn't know what was ahead. In the huge, empty city, Salin seemed to be all alone.
After walking for twenty kilometers, Salin saw a tall tower. This tower was half-collapsed. The ancient Meyersi characters on the lintel were already blurred. Salin used his Elemental Eyes to observe carefully. He could still read the fragmented ancient Meyersi characters.
Military station …
There were no similar towers nearby. Although this tower was tall, there weren't many soldiers stationed there. Especially those hundred-meter-tall Elemental Stone Soldiers near the city wall.
Looks like it's here! Salin analyzed. The leader of the Elemental Stone Soldiers was in the military station.
Salin was cautious. He didn't enter the military station immediately. Instead, he searched the surrounding thousand meters. There weren't any defensive signs on the nearby buildings. This place was already twenty kilometers away from the city wall. The leader of the Elemental Stone Soldiers was here. It could control the stone statues. This leader was definitely a level-ten elemental creature.
Salin turned and returned to the military station. More than six hours had passed. He could continue using the magic on his Demonic God Set. Salin took out his magic staff and a small magic scroll.
This magic scroll was obtained from the battle at the edge of the sea. The level-eight Spellcaster was about to release a level-ten spell, but was interrupted. The scroll fell to the ground and was finally obtained by Salin.
A level-eight Spellcaster could cast a level-ten spell. This scroll was more precious than a giant level-nine Magic Core. Salin was willing to use it now. As long as he controlled the leader of the Elemental Stone Soldiers, all the Stone Soldiers near the city wall would become his subordinates.
Salin didn't believe that the Vatican's army could withstand hundreds of hundred-meter-tall level-nine Stone Soldiers swarming forward. So what if he used a level-ten scroll? It was a one-time use item. These Elemental Stone Soldiers could be used repeatedly.
After preparing everything, Salin returned to the military station. He released the Water Pattern Shield. Holding the magic staff, he swam to the second floor of the military station. There were only two and a half floors left in the military station. It was still more than two hundred meters tall. Salin was helpless against such a huge building. He entered through a gap in the window. The things piled up on the second floor of the tower had already rotted.
Items that could withstand the corrosion of seawater for tens of thousands of years were all high-level magic materials. Salin didn't rummage through them. He came to the side of the stairs, removed the Water Pattern Shield, and buffed himself with the Ice Pattern Armor.
Level-Ten elemental creatures were a bit difficult even for level-nine Spellcasters. Even though human Spellcasters were stronger than elemental creatures, the difference in levels could not be ignored.
Under the Demon God Mask, Salin felt his face twitch. This was the first time he had faced such a powerful thing alone. If he failed, he would die.
Teacher, I will not retreat!
Salin thought to himself and walked down the stairs. Each step of the stairs was more than two meters tall. Salin took each step as if he were taking a big leap. Halfway down the stairs, a rumbling sound came from the room downstairs. Salin saw a giant weapon smashing toward him. Behind the weapon was a pair of flashing red eyes.
A Stone Soldier that was only more than twenty meters tall waved a giant war hammer and pounced toward Salin. Its movements were as fast as a magic attack. If Warriors could have such speed, Spellcasters would have no chance.
Salin released an Ice Strike, and immediately activated a level-nine spell in his magic staff — Elemental Deconstruction.
This was an extremely rare spell. Only one Spellcaster on Serrig Island could cast it after advancing to level-nine. This Spellcaster had stored four Elemental Deconstruction spells in his magic staff. Salin had never been willing to use them, which showed how precious this spell was.
Once a Spellcaster used it, they would not be able to use it again for a month. This spell's damage to a Spellcaster's body was probably second only to Crystal Finger.
Elemental Deconstruction could completely disintegrate an enemy's spell. Against elemental creatures, there was a certain chance that it could disintegrate or destroy them. If it disintegrated, the elemental creature would not be able to revive. If it was destroyed, the elemental creature would not be able to recover for a short period of time.
The level-nine Elemental Deconstruction of this Stone Soldier could not disintegrate it, so Salin could use it without worry.
Six huge chunks of ice froze the war hammer. The war hammer let out a thunderous roar. In less than two seconds, the ice formed by the level-six spell was shattered. Salin flipped over and jumped down from the side of the stairs. The war hammer missed its target, and the already rotten stairs were smashed into smithereens by this one strike.
The strange spell, Elemental Deconstruction, also landed on the Stone Golem's body. Green light flickered repeatedly on the surface of the Stone Golem's body. The Stone Golem's movements paused for a moment. As the magic light dissipated, the Stone Golem descended from the sky and swung its hammer at Salin.
