[Second chapter, two more chapters to go. Let's hope so …]
Salin's ability to learn was extremely strong. This was his advantage. When he accumulated enough knowledge, Salin could also create his own spells, such as the inconspicuous Water Pattern Shield and the incomparably ferocious Eye of Lightning.
It was because he understood a trace of the lightning rule instead of learning the rule created by others that Salin could quickly advance to a level-8 Magic Shooter. Advancing to level-9 was only a matter of time. This advancement wouldn't be too slow.
Salin's fireballs danced in the air, burning seven or eight pests to death in the blink of an eye. Salin was overjoyed. This was only a level-7 spell, and it could last for quite a long time. Apart from the high mental power consumption, it had no weaknesses. It was the best choice to deal with these monsters without much intelligence.
Salin casually created two more fireballs, but the Water Puppet still couldn't learn Salin's Elemental Conversion. After cutting off the direct mental connection, the Water Puppet's combat power was somewhat reduced.
"Don't worry." Salin calmly commanded the Elemental Stone Soldiers and the three fireballs. After the fireballs burned, Nelis only needed to fish out the soul fragments. This kind of battle wasn't too dangerous for now. The Elemental Stone Soldiers blocked many attack routes, allowing Salin to calmly cast spells.
Twenty-four Elemental Stone Soldiers formed an indestructible barrier between Salin and the pests. Occasionally, powerful level-9 monsters would appear among the pests, but they still weren't a match for the Elemental Stone Soldiers.
The Elemental Badge was indeed a powerful piece of equipment. Mages could carry it around and use it conveniently. With these elemental creatures, mages could safely attack their enemies without worrying about Sword Saints or Assassins getting close to them.
Salin saw that the twenty-four Elemental Stone Soldiers could control the tower well, so he immediately summoned another twelve and sent them to the first floor to block the pests. This would slow down the monsters' ascension to the second floor, making it easier for Nelis to pick out the soul fragments one by one.
The Water Puppet slowly learned on the side. It had tried Elemental Conversion before. At that time, its body was completely under Salin's control, and it could perform Elemental Conversion. But now, relying on its memory and mental power, this ability hadn't recovered.
The process of vaporizing ice bullets was very easy, but the vaporized ice bullets were still water elemental magic. To ignite a vaporized ice bullet was a rather difficult skill. More than half of the Magic Shooters had never tried to learn it. Only a few High Mages knew how to use the Elemental Conversion skill. Those who were as proficient as Salin could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Salin was forced to do this. His Water Elemental Body allowed him to learn Water Magic quickly and with great power. However, if he didn't know Elemental Conversion, he would never be able to cast the other five types of magic. If he couldn't familiarize himself with the other five elements, Salin's advancement would be a huge problem.
Under such pressure, Salin managed to master the Elemental Conversion skill even before advancing to the Magic Shooter realm.
The Water Golem didn't know of Salin's past, so it was very uncomfortable that it couldn't quickly grasp Elemental Conversion. After all, he had experienced the frequency of energy fluctuations during elemental conversion, so he wasn't completely clueless about it.
A huge ice bomb was released by the Water Puppet. Its surface was covered in a layer of mist. The freezing properties of the ice bullets were weakened by a few times due to the layer of fog.
The water puppet controlled the Ice Bomb, and when the Ice Bomb hit a pest, it suddenly remembered a water spell, and its spirit fluctuated violently. The Ice Bomb cracked, and the water vapor dissipated. The pests that were hit were also frozen.
Neris casually took out the soul fragment of the pests and glared at the Water Puppet. The pests' bodies were made of dust. After being frozen, Neris needed to use a lot of strength to insert her bone palm into the pests' bodies.
In just ten minutes, more than a hundred pests had been destroyed by Neris. There were at least six soul fragments in each pests' bodies. Neris had thrown almost a thousand soul fragments into the 12 Movements of Purgatory.
Neris was secretly delighted. These soul fragments could repair two purgatories in the 12 Movements of Purgatory. If she could collect the soul fragments of tens of thousands of pests, almost one of the purgatories would be formed.
"Neris, I'll put more pests up," Salin said. As Salin spoke, he released another twelve Elemental Stone Soldiers and had them go down to the first floor, filling it up.
Neris nodded to show that she understood. She sped up the process of collecting the soul fragments. If only Nicholas was here! At this time, Neris missed the benefits of Nicholas. The speed at which the fallen priest used the Pearl of Souls to collect these fragments was thousands of times faster than Neris.
Hundreds of pests rushed to the second floor, and Salin calmly released more fireballs. On the surface of these level-seven fireballs was a lifelike image of a thunder dragon. The fireballs could last for a few hours. Even if each attack consumed a large amount of fire elements, the fireballs would burn for no less than an hour.
This was the power of elemental conversion magic. Ordinary fireballs could not even burn for more than half a minute.
The Water Puppet finally created a unique magic ice bomb. After a mist appeared on the surface of this magic ice bomb, it quickly transformed into another water magic — Frozen Swamp.
Frozen Swamp was a group attack magic. It was compressed by the Water Puppet into the surface of an ice bomb with a diameter of more than one meter. As soon as the Frozen Swamp stuck to the pests' bodies, it caused a sluggish and stiff effect. The huge sticky ice bomb could not be shaken off at all. The pests that had slowed down were in Neris's pocket.
The blue Icemile was right. It was difficult to harm the pests with water magic, but for mages, this was not absolute. With Neris, a demon who could pluck soul fragments, the pests would die if they slowed down.
There were also huge windows on the second floor, and there was a large gap between the twenty-four elemental stone soldiers. Salin commanded the entire situation and let the fireballs dance in these gaps. Gradually, he found the feeling of a mage.
Control!
A mage's fighting style should be absolute control.
Even swordsmen disdained to fight head-on. A mage's wisdom, skills, and experience were all important factors in determining the outcome of a battle. Salin was level-eight. If he encountered thousands of level-seven monsters in the past, he could only choose to escape.
But this time, Salin took advantage of the environmental advantage of the crystal tower and could calmly kill them one by one. If Salin wanted to leave, he could leave at any time. He did not want to leave because these soul fragments were very important to Neris's 12 Movements of Purgatory. If they were on the Myers Continent, how would he dare to let Neris do such a thing? This was similar to what a black mage would do.
Faka dared to kill 100,000 people to create soul pearls, but Salin did not dare to. If that was the case, his conscience would also be uneasy. As for these pests, they were simply here to deliver materials to Nelis.
An adventure deep into the Abyss was slowly changing Salin's mentality. In the past, he liked to escape. Unless he had no choice or he was sure of victory, he would not make a move. But this time, Salin felt the pleasure of having everything under control.
This ability came from wisdom, not from a powerful magic string.
Time passed very quickly. Neris killed thousands of pests, but the number of monsters trying to enter the crystal tower did not decrease. Neris suddenly felt a chill. This was the effect of her demon bloodline. An extremely dangerous monster was approaching!
The danger of this thing exceeded the combined strength of all the pests. If these pests were in an open area, they would torture Salin and the others to death. In such a closed environment, they could not hurt Salin at all.
"Master!" Neris screamed and transformed into her demon form. She was already holding the spear that Salin had refined for her. Salin also felt the danger. This ability was obtained from the soul contract between him and Neris, as well as the contract between him and the goddess Myers.
The two contracts made Salin's perception of danger no different from Neris's.
What was that! Salin quickly retreated to the third floor of the crystal tower and looked out. He saw a tall figure walking toward the crystal tower on the street in the distance.
This person was more than eight meters tall. Salin's elemental eyes were fully opened and he found that the long black hair behind his head was the same thing as a pest-a cloud of dust.
However, the dust did not flow. Instead, it was like real hair. Each strand was extremely clear as it floated in the water.
This person's face was a little blurry, but his facial features were complete. In his hand was a long double-edged blade. The seven-meter-long blade drew a wide path in the seawater, leaving no obstacles in front of this person.
The most terrifying thing was that this person's upper body was naked. In the position between his chest and abdomen, there was an even larger face. This face had a big mouth and a pair of evil eyes looked left and right.
The pests that he targeted were all monsters above level seven. Once the eyes on this face targeted the pests, this more than eight meters tall man would walk up and cut them into pieces with one slash. Then, he would throw the soul fragments into the big mouth between his chest and abdomen.
The big mouth was full of sharp teeth. Each sharp tooth was gray. When the soul fragments were bitten by these gray teeth, they would let out a mournful howl.
No pests could escape. This man's speed was not fast, but wherever he walked, the pests could only kneel on the ground, trembling with fear as they waited for him to kill.
Salin immediately summoned Gloria. No matter how stupid she was, she should have some impression of this thing, right?
"Gloria, let me see. What is this?" Salin pointed at the man who was killing the pests in the distance. At the same time, he shared his perception with Gloria.
"Master, you're going to be rich. This is the Dread Angel." Gloria's answer made Salin very worried.
"What's a Dread Angel?"
