[Sorry, I updated late. I woke up very early, but after I left, the door lock broke and I couldn't go home, so I had to find a locksmith. It was difficult to find one on the 15th of the first month. In the end, I spent a hundred dollars and got a new lock. After that, the Word document in the computer broke again. I'm a computer idiot, and I don't even know the simplest technology, so I don't know how to fix it. In the end, I used a very stupid method and added an account. The new account can use the document, but the phrases all disappeared. I wrote slowly, so … it's very tragic. The absurd chapter that I promised will be written in the second half of the night. I'm very helpless.]
Nicholas put away the Fallen Scepter and took out his Taboo Codex. This Taboo Codex was made by Salin himself from the materials he collected in Metatlin.
It was more difficult for a mage to make equipment than a mage. Fortunately, Nicholas had the Scarlet Soul Tower and the power of the fallen faith, so he was much stronger than before. After the restriction imposed on him by Fakhar was broken, Nicholas was worthy of being a ninth-level fallen mage.
The Taboo Codex of the Fallen had a purple cover. It was no longer written in hieroglyphs, but in the Tanggulas language that Nicholas was familiar with. Every Taboo Codex of the Fallen was different. All the words in this one were written by Nicholas, and the souls he bewitched would provide power for this codex.
Among the unconscious soldiers, Nicholas opened his Taboo Codex. There were only twenty-four pages of the Taboo Codex, and each page was filled with beliefs that Nicholas had compiled. He only opened to the sixth page, and dozens of curved words flew out of the codex and into the minds of these soldiers.
Nicholas shouted in a low voice, and these soldiers sat up. Seeing the people around them, they nervously grabbed for their weapons. Nicholas said in a low voice, "Kneel!"
He spoke in the Tanggulas language. In the ears of these soldiers, Nicholas seemed to become a tall god in an instant, the divine light above his head shooting into the sky. Although these soldiers vaguely felt that something was wrong, they still knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Nicholas.
"Go do your things, and don't say what you saw. Go," Nicholas ordered. These soldiers repeatedly kowtowed and left.
Salin saw Nicholas move quickly and was deep in thought. Nicholas laughed. "Master, the strongest of these soldiers is only a senior swordsman. Most of them are senior swordsmen. They are very easy to deal with."
"How long can you control them?"
"Two or three days. I'm afraid we won't even be able to stay here for a day before we have to leave. As long as they did not encounter a mage or a mage above the seventh level, they would not be exposed. If we meet a Magic Shooter, I can't guarantee anything. "
"It's fine. Magic Shooters rarely pay attention to soldiers of this level. Let's go. "Salin quickly led the group through the narrow passageway, heading towards the depths of the island. Salin listened to Nicholas's guidance and had already roughly divided the coordinates of the entire island. The prison was located in the center of the island. Twenty miles wasn't too far, but in order to avoid the patrols, they had to stop from time to time. If they really couldn't get through, Nicholas would use the Taboo Codex to bewitch the soldiers.
Salin was surprised at how fast Nicholas could control the enemies. However, he and the Desolate Warriors had dealt with these enemies first, and Nicholas had only attacked the unconscious ones.
Salin now had a more intuitive understanding of souls. He could calculate that if these people were still conscious, it would be much more difficult for Nicholas to kill them. This skill could also be used in battle to control the enemy to fight for him, but it would quickly remove the control.
Of course, the Taboo Codex could also be used to store divine spells. Otherwise, Nicholas wouldn't have asked Salin to collect materials and craft this equipment before they left.
After advancing for less than five miles, dozens of huge shadows suddenly appeared in the sky. They quickly passed by, making deafening noises. Salin couldn't help but use his Elemental Eyes to look. He saw dozens of huge metal monsters whizzing by in the sky. Below these metal monsters, there were huge magic lamps that illuminated the places they passed by.
Salin cursed in his mind. Damn Cloud Flow, he really did study the flying alchemy machines on the Desolate Battleship. This thing that could fly slowly was one of the dozens of offensive equipment on the Desolate Battleship.
But Nicholas was right. He couldn't stay on the island for too long. There were many Magic Shooters on the island. Once they found the soldiers that Nicholas had bewitched, they would be able to track him down.
The faster the rescue, the better. He couldn't delay. So, Salin took the risk and sped up, rushing towards the prison.
On the outskirts of the island, along the road by the sea, a team of elite soldiers was slowly searching. There were two hundred of them, led by a Magic Shooter and a General. The General personally accompanied the Magic Shooter, closely following the palace wall. The Magic Shooter was wearing a black magic robe with two magic symbols on it.
The 8th Rank High Mage was nearly two meters tall, with soft facial features, delicate and pretty, black hair and black eyes. His speed was slower than the normal patrol soldiers. Although the General was anxious, there was nothing he could do.
"Disgusting smell …" That 8th Rank High Mage sniffed and walked to a palace wall before casting a detection spell. A cut mark could be seen on the wall illuminated by the magic radiance.
"Here, a Mage passed by." The Magic Shooter pointed at the palace wall.
"Master, what about the details?" The General asked while gesturing to his men. His men immediately blew their whistles, and more soldiers approached. In the sky, there were also huge metal monsters circling. When these metal monsters flew lower, the soldiers on the ground could smell the fishy smell of metal mixed with fish.
There was a rumbling sound coming from the metal monster, as if there were hundreds of metal puppets colliding with each other inside. The soldiers on the ground were glad that they weren't chosen to guard the metal monsters. They didn't know how the people above could tolerate such sounds.
Two tall metal puppets were pushed up, holding giant axes. With a dozen strikes, they split the palace wall open, and the soldiers filed in. This time, the Magic Shooter didn't take the lead. Instead, he followed the soldiers and continued to search for traces of the intruders.
Salin was now close to the prison. The location of the prison was a stone fortress. The Iron Duke obviously didn't have any protective feelings for the fairer sex. Even though Triss and the other demons had transformed into beauties, they were still locked up with the demons. When Salin came to the periphery of the prison, he happened to see a team of soldiers capturing a dozen demons from the front door. They were going to take them away.
Even though the Metatlin Kingdom had built a demon city, for mages in other countries, demons were still very rare things. They were objects of research. It just so happened that a dozen demons were wearing chains. They looked miserable, with iron balls stuffed in their mouths. Their painful cries could only come from their noses.
Seeing this, Salin's killing intent intensified. He shouted, "Do it!"
Twenty-four Desolate Warriors pounced forward and stabbed with their spears. Before the team of soldiers could react, their foreheads were all pierced by the spears. The difference in ranks was too great. Salin couldn't be bothered to command them himself. The Desolate Warriors killed the enemy in one move. They pinched the chains on the demons' bodies with one hand, and the chains all shattered.
Nicholas shouted softly, "Release!"
The iron balls in the demons' mouths and the shards of the chains pierced through their bodies all broke free. Salin scanned with his Elemental Eyes. He had already identified the strongest among the demons. He threw a bottle of magic liquid to the demon, and then a giant leather bag filled with healing water.
Salin said, "Divide it and follow us."
The demon didn't recognize Salin. Fortunately, Nelis taught him well. The demon silently took the healing water and drank it in one gulp. Salin was in the front, ignoring the demons. He directly activated the level-nine spell Stone Golem Legion on his magic robe.
Although the quality of Salin's Demonic God Set had increased, the spells on it hadn't advanced. Cain's magic array wasn't even as good as Joey's. There were only six level-nine spells, which couldn't be unsealed and advanced anymore. Also, because the astrologer didn't know enough about magic, the six level-nine spells still had a cooldown of six hours.
The only consolation was that the magic core on the mask of the Demonic God Set was of a higher level. The level-nine spells released were both faster and more powerful than before.
Salin released six Stone Golems at once. After replacing the magic cores, the Stone Golems finally had elemental hammers in their hands. The nine-meter-tall Stone Golem rushed to the front and directly smashed the prison gate.
The prison was built like a fortress. Large puppets could enter and exit, so of course, it could accommodate the nine-meter-tall Stone Golems.
Everything happened too quickly. Before the soldiers inside the prison gate could close the gate, it was already destroyed. Twenty-four Desolate Warriors rushed in and stabbed the soldiers behind the gate to death with their spears.
After entering the gate, there was a small square. Salin controlled the Stone Golems to stay there and block the path behind, not letting anyone enter. Then, he took out the magic compass. After finding Trish's position, he summoned six Night Fangs and six orange knights from his Elemental Badge.
The Night Fangs immediately hid in the darkness and set up an ambush. The orange knights spurred on their flaming warhorses and forcefully crashed into the prison wall.
This prison was not a building designed to defend against level-nine creatures. If it were a magic tower, the level-nine creatures would just smash themselves into a pile of elements and disintegrate. Walls made of boulders were knocked down by the orange-red knights, and wherever they passed, the resisting soldiers were burned to ashes.
Salin led the twenty-four Desolate Antiquity Warriors straight into the dungeon. Trish and the others were locked in the dungeon. After Salin found the position, Zola stepped forward and slashed the huge magic lock on the ground.
For a Gold Sword Saint, only the magic lock of a level-nine Magic Shooter was difficult to deal with. This kind of magic lock that was not even level-seven was like a child's toy.
Salin raised the Water Shield and jumped down. The entrance to the dungeon was vertical. There was originally a gallows and a metal ladder, but Salin was too lazy to use it. After returning from the Abyss King City, Salin's style of doing things had become much more straightforward.
"Trish!" Salin shouted. The dungeon smelled terrible. He was sure that the coordinates were correct, but his Elemental Eye could not see where Trish was. His roar contained a trace of the Dread Angel's power, as well as the laws of thunder.
With a hum, the ground under his feet trembled. A huge magic array was activated, and the twenty-four Desolate Warriors stabbed down with their spears at the same time. With a boom, the ground collapsed, revealing the water dungeon inside.
Inside the water dungeon, four demons were pierced by iron chains and fixed to the wall. Seeing the light of magic above, the chained demons looked up.
