[Third update, one more update.]
As soon as the Magic Shooter escaped, the reinforcements following him collapsed like a landslide. Even Lone Star City could see that something was wrong. Ainphent was in the Magic Tower, using Stare of the Undead to observe outside the city. He saw the army in the north escaping to the west. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could tell that Salin had defeated the north camp.
Weren't there only 100,000 people? Ainphent was shocked and immediately sent someone to call Neris. He and Neris had been secretly hunting the soldiers outside the city these days. They killed any single soldier with less than 100 people.
If Salin still didn't come, Neris and he would probably have to go deep into the camp to hunt. The Crimson Soul Tower was too tempting. Even Ainphent was willing to take the risk.
Neris came to Ainphent's Magic Tower and said, "Hurry up and leave the city. Bring your elite undead. Master is crazy. He wants to destroy the Scochina in one battle. Sigh, there's no more fun. "
Neris knew that with Nicholas by Salin's side, Nicholas's Crimson Soul Tower would definitely increase in power. Salin probably wanted to use this battle to increase Nicholas's power to the extreme and break through to level-10.
The benefits she could get from this would be limited. Of course, she had other uses for the Crimson Soul Tower. She couldn't let Nicholas take all the benefits. Therefore, she had to entice Ainphent to leave the city as soon as possible.
Ainphent gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell His Highness Rex first."
Ainphent was definitely not an impulsive person now. He was afraid that his city would be attacked, so he told Rex about the defense first before summoning the undead. A large number of intermediate and advanced undead gathered at the front gate. The gate was wide open. Neris only took the ancient warriors and followed Ainphent to kill their way out.
Neris wasn't a famous general. She wasn't as good at charging and killing as Salin was. She relied on the 24 Desolate Warriors and the huge undead army. If Salin gave her the order, she could lead the army to break the Scochina camp without any internal or external cooperation.
She had been holding on until now because Salin didn't allow her to attack.
Now that Salin wanted to kill her, there was no reason for Neris to hold back. She decided to transform into a Demon God and took out a spear that was more than thirty meters long. With the spear in one hand and the Crimson Soul Pagoda in the other, she started killing crazily.
With Ainphent personally leading the charge, the undead army's morale soared. The undead plant was left in the city. Above his head, there was a huge undead creature of flesh and blood flying in the air. From time to time, it would spit out a strong aura of death that enveloped a radius of one mile around Ainphent. The undead had already grown to level 9. If Ainphent could not advance to level 10, he would not be able to level up anymore. He could only continue to grow in size and expand his strength in preparation for his advancement to level 10.
The undead within a 500-kilometer radius became incomparably ferocious as they charged into the northern camp. There were also huge undead among them, especially Ainphent, who had already prepared a bone dragon for this battle.
Only the head of the Bone Dragon was made of real dragon bones. The rest of the body was pieced together. This was more than enough. With a single Undead Breath, there would be no living things left in front of him for more than a hundred meters.
Ainphent's speed of collecting souls was even faster than Neris's. Neris was getting impatient. She simply released the 24 Desolate Warriors and started killing everywhere.
Ainphent and Neris slowly pushed into the camp. The undead on the periphery gradually decreased. The Scotia's northern camp was built like a fortress. If they directly charged in, casualties would be unavoidable.
"Hmm?" Salin saw the Lone Star City's army rushing out again and charging into the northern camp. He summoned the Gale Dragon Weapon, and the 24 Gale Dragon Weapons flew towards Neris's position.
Salin was very clear about Neris's thoughts. He did not know why Neris wanted the Scarlet Soul Pagoda. If it was just for the undead form, Neris would not be interested in it. It was probably related to Lologalo's bloodline. If Neris could obtain all the power, Salin reckoned that she would be the most powerful creature under his command.
The 24 Gale Dragon Weapons flew towards Neris. Neris was overjoyed. Salin was allowing her to collect souls. The Scarlet Soul Pagoda had other uses for her. She could not see its use for now, but when the eight abilities were gathered, the Scarlet Soul Pagoda would become an irreplaceable item.
Before that, she had to fill the Scarlet Soul Pagoda with souls. If possible, she should return to the Demonic Plane to hunt for Tamed Demons and Imps. There were too many of such creatures in the Demonic Plane. Some of the Demonic Insects had souls.
Without Salin's command, the Gale Dragon Weapon would not be a match for a group of Magic Shooters. However, the Scotia's camp had collapsed. The powerful attacks from both sides made the soldiers in the camp unable to maintain their discipline.
Salin summoned more Orange Knights. These elemental creatures were more than 20 meters tall. They rode on flaming warhorses and ran amok in the camp. Their flaming blades did not kill many people. Most of them were burned to death by the flaming warhorses.
Nicholas followed closely beside Salin. The number of souls in his Scarlet Soul Pagoda was increasing rapidly. The soul imprint on the Scarlet Soul Pagoda became more profound. Nicholas's image was also much taller. The top of the Scarlet Soul Pagoda emitted a strong light.
The souls in the Scarlet Soul Pagoda worshipped Nicholas' image. Nicholas felt that his life was no longer decreasing. The damage caused by the Lesser Prophecy was being repaired by these souls.
The damage caused by the Lesser Prophecy was not limited to the moment when the divine spell was cast. In fact, Nicholas' life was constantly flowing away. Until now, Salin had asked him to collect even more souls. The worship of over a hundred thousand souls had given Nicholas immeasurable benefits.
And this time, most of the souls Nicholas collected were complete. They were much stronger than the souls Faka collected for him last time. When Faka created the Soul Bead, he extracted more than half of his power. That was to limit Nicholas' power. As for the Crimson Soul Pagoda that he obtained from Nelis, there was no tampering in it. All the souls that he collected belonged to Nicholas alone.
If one wanted something, one had to pay the same price.
Nicholas was deeply touched by the Magician's words. He had sacrificed countless years of his life in exchange for the door of level-ten to open to him. Although the risk was huge, without this opportunity, what was the point of living for a few more years? If he hadn't used the Lesser Prophecy, Salin would have died on the Iron Grand Duke's island.
If that was the case, would Rex take him in? Would the Winged Skeleton and Neris let him go? By then, wouldn't he be a fallen priest that everyone hated?
The Mages wouldn't want him, and the Vatican wouldn't accept him either. Even the Inquisition would kill fallen priests quickly and never make use of them.
Neris obtained twenty-four Gale Dragons, and her killing speed was much faster. The Scochyans were stunned. They never thought that they would encounter such enemies. Nearly a hundred level-nine elemental creatures made all their defense facilities a joke. The Metatlin king personally went to battle and crushed the illusion of the Scochyans.
In the future, the war would no longer be decided by the number of soldiers. All soldiers had to have at least one set of magic armor before they could go to the battlefield. Otherwise, they would be slaughtered. All the alchemy crossbows had to be the most powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to break the enemy's defense. All the Mages had to work together and be battle-hardened. Otherwise, they would be killed by the enemy's level-nine creatures. Once there was a loophole in the large-scale magic, they would no longer be able to continue.
Neris was extremely happy. In the sky, the Gale Dragons transformed into magic cannons with wind elements and shot huge wind blades. Against ordinary soldiers, these level-seven wind blades could kill dozens of them. After one shot, nearly a hundred wind blades flew everywhere. There were no more enemies nearby.
Neris was just collecting souls like crazy. She didn't participate in the damn battle anymore. With the Gale Dragons and the Desolate Warriors, she was invincible in the Scochyans' camp.
Thousands of meters high in the sky, under the intense sunlight, an illusory figure looked down at the battlefield.
"Salin, he actually grew to this level? If I had known, I wouldn't have signed a contract with him. I should've just killed him and saved myself trouble. Sigh … "The figure sighed and turned to fly toward the Chaos Swamp. Behind him, fifteen miles away, a flying Mage with long green hair and a colorful robe quietly followed.
Both of them flew in a very strange way. The person in front was illusory, shuttling through the sunlight. Every time he shuttled, he would advance a few miles. He didn't seem to be flying fast, but his frequency was almost instantaneous. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown hundreds of miles.
The Mage behind him didn't have any fluctuations in the six elements around him. He was like a bird, soaring in the sky. However, the fastest flying speed of a bird was no more than two hundred miles. This Mage couldn't see anything special, but he could always maintain a distance of fifteen miles from the person in front of him.
The two flew hundreds of miles away. Nicholas suddenly said, "Master, Faka came just now!"
"I know," Salin replied without changing his expression.
Nicholas was stunned. Salin actually discovered Faka? Thanks to the Minor Prophecy spell, he was able to discover the presence of other mages with his current level of mastery in the Fallen Divine Art. The powerful mage in the sky had left a huge shadow in Nicholas' heart.
Salin didn't discover Faka at all. He heard Joey's voice.
"Salin, Faka is above you. He's watching the battle. I'll think of a way to kill him. Be careful of your own safety. "
Salin's palms were cold. He already knew that if a level 10 Mage wanted to break the contract, the damage he would suffer wouldn't be as big as he imagined. It wouldn't be life-threatening. He was too arrogant. If Faka wanted to kill him, he couldn't protect anyone around him.
