[Third update, one more update.]
The Predators were also elite soldiers from ancient times. They were originally very intelligent, but tens of thousands of years of sleep had weakened their souls and brought them close to death. The Human Alchemy had awakened them, but they had also become Inpos' slaves.
Salin's Rule of Eternal Control still retained the intelligence of the Primordial Warriors and allowed them to think. However, the Human Alchemy had made these Warriors completely lose themselves.
These Predators were extremely precious. In order to capture Salin, Inpos had sacrificed himself to destroy the elemental creatures that were covering Salin's retreat.
Salin naturally would not let his elemental creatures be sacrificed like that, especially after Gloria's sacrifice. Once Salin's blue Icemen were destroyed, he would have to wait for Gloria to revive. Without hesitation, Salin recalled all the blue Icemen, leaving only six Stone Soldiers and two other elemental creatures behind him.
Rumble …
Another Predator self-destructed, but it was blocked by the leaping Stone Soldiers. The six Stone Soldiers were created by Salin's Demon God Equipment Set, so it was not a pity that they were destroyed. Salin already had twenty-four Stone Soldiers around him. At the same time, a Shining Angel and an orange knight were destroyed.
Other than the Stone Soldiers, the other level-nine elemental creatures could all fly. Because Salin did not want to waste too much energy on the Elemental Hell, he only flew less than two hundred meters high. Both the Stone Soldiers and the Elemental Stone Soldiers could jump to this height. Salin controlled it himself, so he had enough time to block the self-destruction of the Predators.
Also, the earth elements released by the six Stone Soldiers offset most of the power of the Predators' self-destruction. All the pieces of the Tainted Blood Armor did not hurt the elemental creatures around Salin.
Salin had basically let his Stone Soldiers commit suicide. He had a very good grasp of the rhythm. This was an ability he had practiced with Rex. He could use a low-level spell to destroy a high-level spell. This was much more economical than using a magic shield to block attacks.
Unfortunately, Salin did not have the energy to attack the Elemental Hell. He could only run in circles within a few kilometers, with dozens of Predators chasing after him. Inpos' heart was bleeding, and so was Salin's. He did not expect this Inpos to be so lazy as to use such a shameless method to stop him.
No Mage would be willing to do something that would harm themselves and hurt others. Not unless they were forced into a corner.
The problem was that Salin was in a desperate situation. This Inbos was crazy and wanted to grab him. It seemed like …
Salin wanted to take out the family badge again, but he felt a little uneasy. He resisted the urge to shoot Inbos to death and stuffed the badge back into the Devil God Ring.
Zola was by Salin's side. Salin's flying speed wasn't as fast as Zola's, so Zola was able to keep up more easily. Seeing Salin's angry expression, he said, "My Lord, let me kill that guy."
"No, didn't you see how the leader of the Blue Icy Maiden died?"
"That's an elemental creature, I'm a human!" Jorah raised an eyebrow. He was not afraid of the Level Ten elemental creature leader in a one-on-one battle. Elemental creatures mostly relied on their instincts in battle, and other than skills, they were relatively weak. Although the leader of the Blue Icemen had been fighting other elemental creatures for countless years, the combat methods of these elemental creatures were still so crude and primitive.
Salin suppressed his anger and simply competed with Inbos in patience. There were sixty-two Predators left in the air, and thirty-six on the ground. What really posed a threat to Salin were the Predators in the air. Each of the sixty-two Predators could self-destruct, but the power of their self-destruction was weakening. Salin judged that if there were less than thirty-six Predators, the power of their self-destruction would no longer be able to kill elemental creatures instantly.
This conical magic formation was indeed powerful. Combined with alchemy, it was truly indestructible. If it weren't for an abnormal Mage like Salin who possessed a large number of elemental creatures, the battle would have been over long ago. Other than the first elemental creature that self-destructed, which caused huge losses to Salin, Salin did not let more than six elemental creatures block the self-destruction of the Predators in the process of escaping.
The palace on the ground had long been flattened. Inbos watched the battle coldly, no longer anxious. This Salin had a Level Ten elemental creature leader. If it weren't for his special skill, he might have really succeeded. What was that just now? Rainbow Spell?
If a human Mage wanted to practice this skill, their body had to be at least as strong as a Gold Sword Saint. Otherwise, teleportation would cause their bodies to collapse. So before Level Nine, human Mages were only familiar with Rainbow Spell, which might not be faster than flying.
Salin's Elemental Badge was more advanced than he thought. A Level Ten elemental creature leader could command 144 Level Nine elemental creatures. The six Elemental Badges could summon a total of 864 Level Nine elemental creatures. Even the self-destruction of all his Predators would not be enough to stop Salin.
If he couldn't take down Salin, the Iron Duke would not make up for his losses. These hundred or so Predators were weapons that he had painstakingly refined.
According to the agreement with the Ironblood Grand Duke, for every three Ironblood Warriors refined, he would get two, until he had three thousand Ironblood Warriors. If he exceeded this number, he wouldn't be able to receive such a high treatment. And these three thousand Predators were necessary for him to occupy Alchemy City.
Besides, by that time, the Iron Duke's subordinates would have probably learned human alchemy, and he would still be easily left behind.
Thinking of this, Inpos let out a sharp roar. His voice was released through his throat, which had a magic seal. Even the seaside more than ten miles away could hear it.
Nicholas had already led the demons to the seaside. With the Ancient Warriors leading the charge, the Iron Duke's soldiers could not stop them before they finished gathering.
Hearing Inpos' roar, he was shocked. He wanted to turn back, but Triss and the other demons still needed his guidance. The jade skeleton on the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship did not recognize these demons. Plus, he had broken through here to help Salin. He had to get the warship close so that Salin could leave successfully.
His mission was to find the warship!
Nicholas clenched his teeth and stopped by the seaside for a moment. Holding the Fallen Scepter, he released a small prophecy.
River of Fate, listen to my guidance. I am your God, controlling time, space, souls, and rules. In my name, Nicholas, I command all dangers to stay away from my master, Salin …
Half of Nicholas' hair turned white in an instant. Because of the Scarlet Soul Tower, Nicholas was getting younger day by day. But casting this small prophecy cost him a lot of life.
Nicholas did not regret it. There had never been a fallen priest who could advance to level ten. Salin gave him this opportunity. Even if he gave up half of his life, he was confident that he could advance to level ten. After level ten, through hard work, his life could slowly grow back. But if his master died, everything would be gone.
After casting the small prophecy, Nicholas led the demons and twenty-four Ancient Warriors into the sea. This was not the place where he came ashore. But his small prophecy could easily find the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship without the need for coordinates.
The army chasing the demons stopped. After all, this sea palace was built too recently. There was no powerful magic seal on the coast. The enemies had escaped, so the soldiers could only rush to the dock and mobilize warships to search for them.
Inpos was gathering power to activate the level ten magic seal in the metal disc. Even if he was powerful in alchemy, it would take a lot of time to gather energy for a level ten magic seal. His voice had been destroyed long ago. If Inpos wanted to chant a spell, he could only use his special roar to replace it.
The spell itself was used to coordinate the spiritual power to move the magic string. Inpos' chanting had created a new skill.
Level ten magic – True Fire Disaster.
This was a resonance magic. It could be arranged into a magic seal, but the target was not within the range of the magic seal. Inpos locked on to Salin. As long as this level ten magic was completed, the True Fire would burn in Salin's body.
There were many ways to block this magic, but for a level nine mage, the only way was to break the enemy's lock.
Salin's soul power was not as strong as Inpos', and his spiritual power was slightly inferior. He felt Inpos' lock. This guy wanted to kill him, not capture him alive!
Salin's heart was cold. He immediately took out his family badge. At this time, there was no need to hide anything. His intuition told him that once this magic was completed, he would definitely die.
Just as Salin raised the family badge and was about to shoot Inpos, Inpos' voice suddenly stopped.
On the disk, one of Inpos' eyes popped out of its metal socket, and the beard on his lower jaw burned. He felt a force in the void forcibly breaking his lock. He suddenly lost track of Salin, and he had no choice but to release his level ten magic. If he stopped, the True Fire would burn in his body.
"Ang … Hiss …"
Inpos' voice trembled. After completing this level ten magic, in a magic tower more than a mile away, the body of a cloud Magic Shooter suddenly spewed out white and green flames. After a few vibrations, this level eight Magic Shooter was burned to a pile of ashes, and nothing around him was damaged.
If Inpos had attacked Salin, Salin would have been prepared and could have lasted three to five seconds. However, this level eight Magic Shooter became a victim because Inpos' lock failed. The probability of this could be said to be close to zero. Resonance magic lost its target, of course, it would look for the next target. However, he was not the closest to Inpos, and was killed instantly by the True Fire Disaster. It could only be said that this level eight Magic Shooter's luck was extremely bad.
Seeing that Inpos' attack failed, Salin resisted the urge to use his family badge. Instead, he released six Dark Fangs and suddenly rushed into the midst of the Predators. Behind the six Dark Fangs was the Gale Dragon. Without Inpos' command, the Predators were caught off guard and their formation was broken.
