[Fourth chapter, monthly ticket, continue tomorrow.]
Gloria returned to the Elemental Badge, and Salin looked at the shoes under Neris' feet. Neris giggled and said, "Master, why don't we give this to Sister Shika?"
"Hmph, there's no need. I was thinking that if the clothes of ancient humans are like this, there's no need for us to search for any equipment for the time being. "
"Master, can we enter the city core?"
"It's a little difficult." Salin did not hide his judgment and said, "The periphery is filled with ordinary soldiers, level-nine creatures, and level-ten leaders. There will be more dangerous places inside the Abyss King's City. "
"Then don't even think about finding these things. Master, you're a level-eight Magic Shooter, but you're still very weak." Neris's words were rude. Salin patted her face, sat down on the ground, and began to meditate.
Salin's Meditation Law of Meditation was inherited from Jason, and his recovery speed was very fast. It only took an hour. Salin also used the badge to train his mental strength and then used divine crystals to replenish it.
The three-story tower was searched by Nelis, but nothing useful was found. Neris was not disappointed. There would not be many things left in this dilapidated city. The box containing the shoes was still thrown into the 12 Movements of Purgatory by Neris to repair her equipment.
Not only was the 12 Movements of Purgatory absorbing all kinds of materials, but it also spat out a large amount of garbage every day. Not all materials could be used to repair the 12 Movements of Purgatory. The materials that the 12 Movements of Purgatory did not need would be spat out. After the box was thrown into the 12 Movements of Purgatory, it was broken down and absorbed at almost the fastest speed possible. Other than a little bit of corroded metal left on it, nothing else was spat out.
Outside the crystal tower, the water puppet opened the door and rushed in, shouting, "Master, something is coming!"
The door behind him closed automatically, and not a single drop of seawater entered the tower. The water elemental space repelled seawater. This was also an extremely brilliant magic design.
Salin turned around and went up to the third floor. The crystal tower was not damaged at all. Salin stood on the window sill on the third floor and looked into the distance. This position was 200 meters tall, and it was the tallest of the nearby buildings. Looking out from the crystal window, Salin saw thousands of black shadows moving in this direction on the streets of the city.
Salin's Elemental Eyes were fully activated, and only then did he see clearly what those black shadows were. It was a mass of dust that looked like a magical beast with curved bone spurs all over its body.
What is this? Salin observed carefully and realized that these monsters were coming from several directions. They were all gathering in the direction of the crystal tower. In his memory, there was a lot of information about strange creatures. However, Salin had no recollection of these things formed from dust.
"Gloria …"
Salin weakly summoned the Blue Icy Belle leader and used magic to create an image. "What is this?"
"Master, this is … a pest."
"Pest?"
"Yes, countless battles have taken place in the Abyssal King City, and too many living beings have been killed. Magicians could not clean up all the soul fragments. These things would condense into all kinds of magical beasts. Back then … I think I also participated in a pest extermination operation. "
"What's that like?"
"I was just a support soldier back then. My mission was to use the water elemental sword to shatter the beetle's soul even more."
"Is this thing dangerous?"
"Not really. It only devours flesh and basically doesn't attack elemental creatures." Gloria's words were clearly from its perspective.
"Are pests dangerous to me?"
"Just some small bugs, Master's contracted creatures. You can use that spear to stab them to death one by one. It's a little troublesome, but very easy," Gloria replied disapprovingly.
"What about your subordinates?" Salin had no choice but to continue asking.
"Blue Icy Belle? It's best if it's the orange knight. The fire element can quickly kill these pests. The Shining Angel is not bad either. The light element is very effective in destroying souls. Of course, it's best if it's the Night Fang. The dark elemental creatures can use these pests as tonics. " Gloria said a bunch of nonsense. Salin finally understood that the water and earth element badges were not as effective as Neris' spear against these pests.
The orange knight, the Shining Angel, and the Night Fang were all stronger than the Stone Golem. Salin finally understood Gloria's answer. Gloria did not mention the wind elemental creatures, which meant that the wind elemental creatures were not very harmful to the pests.
To kill the pests, it was best to rely on fire, light, and dark magic.
Salin didn't know much about Light Magic. Dark Magic was mostly about control and status-enhancing. He was best at water magic. In terms of elemental conversion, he also used fire magic more often.
These pests were made of dust and moved extremely fast on the seabed where the earth element was abundant. During the conversation between Salin and Gloria, hundreds of pests had arrived near the crystal tower. Salin could not tell the strength of these pests. If Nicholas was here, the core of the pests would be soul fragments. In essence, these pests were natural materials for soul pearls.
For fallen priests, soul fragments were relatively easy to deal with.
Neris' eyes widened. She stood next to Salin and was a little jealous when she saw Gloria floating beside him. She could not fly without spreading her wings. Thinking of this, Neris transformed into her undead form again. The image of the three-faced bone devil made Gloria a little strange.
"Master?" Gloria pointed at Neris, not understanding how this creature of flesh and blood suddenly became an undead.
"Don't worry about it." Salin took back Gloria, left the window, and released Winnie.
"Winnie, some pests have appeared. Have your men protect me." Salin did not say much and released 36 elemental stone soldiers, 12 on each floor. These elemental stone soldiers were all 20 meters tall, which was the most flexible size for stone soldiers. 100 meters tall stone soldiers were suitable for charging and breaking through enemy lines. Although the crystal tower was wide, it would not be able to fight if 100 meters tall creatures gathered together.
It was useless to be afraid. There were more than 10,000 pests outside. Even ancient humans had to organize soldiers to kill them. They were definitely not easy to deal with. Salin searched through the magic staffs in his hands and chose 22. These 22 staffs were filled with Light, Dark, and Fire element magic.
As a level-eight Magic Shooter, Salin could continuously release about twenty-four level-eight spells. After using twenty-four level-eight spells, Salin didn't have many Magic Strings left. He still had to keep some Magic Strings in reserve to trigger the spells in magic staffs or scrolls.
If it was only a level-7 spell, Salin could release 12 times as many as a level-8 spell, but that was only 288 spells of the seventh rank. 288 spells of the seventh rank was too little for tens of thousands of pests. But how much damage could a level-6 spell do to pests? Salin was not sure.
He could only rely on the Water Elemental Badge and the Earth Elemental Badge. Each of the 22 magic wands stored two level-9 spells. This was Salin's way of protecting himself.
Neris and Lawson, these two guys were good helpers for Salin. Neris's undead form was very destructive to pests, at least. The Water Puppet's magic did not come from the Magic Strings, but from the resonance of its own elements. It could release more of these spells than Salin, but it did not have Salin's precise calculations.
The Water Puppet had intelligence, but it did not have Salin's computing power. Salin's proficiency with Figaro's magic formula surpassed most 9th Rank High Mages, but the Water Puppet's computing power was not even 1% of Salin's.
The biggest difference between mages of the same rank was wisdom, not the number of Magic Strings.
Bang, bang, bang …
There were continuous sounds of collisions. Immediately, the bodies of pests disintegrated and drilled into the crystal tower through the crack of the door. The magic array inside the crystal tower could only prevent seawater from entering, but it could not prevent pests from entering. Salin was speechless at such a design. If it was his own military station, he would definitely design an offensive magic array.
But then Salin laughed at his own thoughts. If that was the case, how could he enter the crystal tower?
There were 12 Elemental Stone Soldiers on the first floor. The pests rushed in quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were dozens of them. These dozens of pests were smaller than the Elemental Stone Soldiers. The Elemental Stone Soldiers waved their warhammers and rushed forward. The powerful impact of the warhammers could smash the pests into pieces.
The floor of the crystal tower was smashed into pieces by the Elemental Stone Soldiers. The pests scattered into dust, but after a dozen seconds, they gathered again. Two pests pounced on the Elemental Stone Soldiers, scratching and biting them. But the difference in level made their attacks less effective.
The scratches on the surface of the Elemental Stone Soldiers recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but there were more and more pests entering the tower. The pests' heads, where their eyes were, did not have undead soul fire, but a dark vortex.
The soul fragments in these pests' bodies were gathered somewhere, and the Stone Soldiers' magic warhammers could not destroy the soul fragments. They could only inflict different amounts of damage each time. At this speed, the Elemental Stone Soldiers would probably need 30 to 50 consecutive attacks to kill one pests.
Even with the complete level suppression, the Elemental Stone Soldiers could not kill the pests quickly. This was a problem of attributes. The Elemental Stone Soldiers focused too much on physical attacks, and there was almost no good way to deal with pests.
More than a dozen pests rushed to the second floor of the tower. Neris guarded the second floor. Seeing the pests, her three faces opened their mouths at the same time and let out a sharp howl.
