Part 3.
Salin grabbed the Nascent Soul girl's head and threw it into the Dimensional Stone. In the Dimensional Stone, everything was isolated. The Nascent Soul girl could not play any tricks. Moreover, Salin threw the Star Condensation Needle into the girl's Divine Fire. The level-19 Star Condensation Needle was enough to suppress the weakened Divine Fire.
Salin looked back at Neris on the ground. Neris gritted her teeth and held the ground with both hands. She twisted her body and returned to the form of a little demon. Although there was no connection between the two forms, the soul was one.
The Nascent Soul girl's fall not only injured Neris's Demon God Incarnation but also her soul.
Salin was very regretful. Neris's soul was injured, which was detrimental to her growth. Nicholas's fate was unknown. This time, he took the risk and two of his subordinates were injured. Salin felt bad.
"Neris, how are you?"
Neris forced a smile. "Master, I'm fine."
Salin looked at the altar on the other side of the crack and said, "Can you …"
"Yes, Master," Neris said. She picked up the weapon on the ground and put it into the bracelet. Then, she walked toward the crack. She stepped in the sea and walked toward the altar.
Salin could feel Neris's pain. He could even feel that Neris was using her life force to repair the contract on the soul. There was already a crack in the soul contract between him and Neris. Neris could break free from his control at any time.
Salin felt bitter. He looked at the level-9 creatures on the ground and was not in the mood to clean up. He returned to the Magic Tower. Nicholas was already sitting up. He leaned against the wall and panted. He wanted to say something, but Salin waved his hand to stop him. Salin took out the Nascent Soul girl's head from the Dimensional Stone.
"Nicholas, can this help you?" Salin looked at Nicholas' wrinkled face and resisted the urge to take out the magic fluid to heal him. This kind of damage could not be healed by magic fluid.
Nicholas was stunned. In the Nascent Soul girl's head was the most precious Divine Fire. All the Nascent Soul girl's power came from this thing. The value of this Divine Fire far exceeded the body of the Dread Angel. To Salin, it was also an item that could be traded with the ancient souls in the Cemetery of Heroes.
"I understand." Salin smiled and said, "I can't refine the Crimson Soul Pagoda, so when Nelis returns, I'll ask her to help you."
Nicholas didn't know why, but he didn't feel touched by Salin's words. Instead, he felt warm.
"Master …"
"I know." Salin didn't let Nicholas continue. The contract between him and Nicholas was no longer valid. This was because his soul had surpassed the limits of Rank Nine. Otherwise, Salin wouldn't have been able to sense the changes in the depths of his soul so thoroughly.
It took Nelis nearly half an hour to return, and the outside of the magic tower was also cleared. With her character, no matter how much trouble she had, she would temporarily put it down. When it was time to be happy, she would not make things difficult for herself.
Even though his soul had been severely injured and his bloodline wouldn't be able to evolve for a long time, he was still able to control it. However, the second space of the 12 Movements of Purgatory would definitely be perfected. The next time he encountered something that was half human and half god, he would definitely be able to fight back.
Nelis's eyes widened when she saw Sarlin taking out the Infant God girl's head. Her master was actually going to use this!
"Nelis, you guys split this equally. Help Nicholas refine a new Blood-Colored Soul Pagoda, and I'll refine the Fallen Scepter for him," Salin said as he stuffed the Infant God girl's head into Nelis's hands.
The Infant God girl's body wasn't strong. It was about the same as her believers'. The truly precious thing was this head. There were Divine Crystals and Divine Fire inside, which was enough to make up for Salin's loss.
Salin ignored Nelis. He silently took out the few remaining branches of the divine tree and refined the Fallen Scepter for Nicholas. Nelis said from behind, "Master, the Three Monarchs' …"
Only then did Salin remember that he still had the three scepters left behind by the Three Monarchs. This was a good thing. It was so hard that even his Water Flame found it difficult to deal with it. As long as he embedded the Blood-Colored Soul Pagoda, it would be a perfect Fallen Scepter.
There was nothing in the Three Monarchs' scepters. What gave the Three Monarchs their strength was the broken jade in the depths of their soul fires.
"Alright, in that case, let's go up." Salin took out a scepter and handed it to Nelis. He controlled the Elemental Magic Tower and floated up into the huge crack above.
This place was originally deep underground. When the Infant God girl's main body wanted to break free from the chains, she trampled the entire temple, which made it easier for Salin to leave. The Elemental Magic Tower slowly rose and floated in the seawater. Salin didn't want to stay in these ruins anymore, even though there were many building materials in the ruins that could be taken away.
Nelis tugged at Salin's sleeve. Salin understood and took out a bottle of Dread Angel's bone marrow and handed it to Nelis. Nelis had secretly used up her own bone marrow and fused it into the Fallen Purgatory.
Her soul was still in pain. Nelis's fingers flashed with golden electric currents. Nicholas was surprised to see her actions. He had never seen Nelis use the Lightning Protection skill. Now that he realized that Nelis could also control electric currents, he was glad that he didn't go against Nelis back then.
The Infant God girl's head was wrapped in a layer of green energy. Outside the green energy was the blue electric current that Salin had set up, which was still squeaking. No one else could hold this head in their hands except for Nelis.
Nelis was touched. Her soul injury was more serious than Salin knew. But now that she had the Infant God girl's head, she could at least heal the injury. Whether or not she could evolve could be put aside.
The Divine Fire was not only useful for deities. Nelis had also learned the knowledge that Salin had obtained in the Cemetery of Heroes.
Back then, when humans conquered the deities, wasn't it for themselves? The Divine Fire could strengthen the soul, increase strength, and prolong life. Divine Spark could be used to forge the most powerful equipment, and the body of a deity was the highest grade of material.
Salin also knew that Nelis had wasted 99% of the Divine Fire's energy by using it like this, but he had no way to heal Nelis's injury.
Nelis reached out to Salin and said, "Gift Ring."
Salin handed the Gift Ring to Nelis. Nelis pinched the ring with her fingers and pressed it between the eyebrows of the head. She wasn't afraid of the electric current that Salin left behind. It was getting weaker and weaker, not as good as the golden electric current wrapped around her hand. When the Gift Ring was pressed, the layer of green energy was instantly absorbed by the Gift Ring.
The green energy on the surface of the Infant God girl's head was also the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. Moreover, the energy was so great that it even stopped her injury from worsening. After Nelis absorbed the energy with the Bestowed Ring, the badly mutilated head inside was revealed.
Salin took the Gift Ring and checked it. The space inside the Gift Ring was already filled with the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. Perhaps the true use of the Gift Ring was to store divine power and not as a spatial equipment. How could a spatial equipment created by the Goddess be so small?
The head, which was protected by the God Power, began to rot. Neris inserted her hand, which was covered in golden electric currents, into the eye sockets of the head. The eye sockets, which were already full of cracks, were crushed. Neris's fingers carefully pulled out the Star Gathering Needle. At this time, the Divine Fire on the Star Condensation Needle had almost disappeared.
Nelis spat out complicated demonic language. Her body could no longer control the Ultimate Transformation Spell and returned to the form of a little demon. Tiny demonic runes flowed on her sharp fingernails. They were layered as if thousands of layers were stacked together.
She carefully used her fingernails to cut the Divine Fire. The Divine Fire became even weaker, turning into two flames smaller than fingernails. Nelis's fingernails were melted, but she did not feel any pain. It was very difficult to deal with the Divine Fire. Nelis did not feel any pain when a finger was burned by the Divine Fire.
In fact, the Divine Fire was the life core of a god. Even if her entire body was burned, Nelis would not feel any pain. This was the talent of a god. Burning all life and devouring it. As long as the Divine Fire of a god was not extinguished, they would be resurrected. However, the Infant God girl was only a false god, not even a demigod. This Divine Fire lacked the support of too many rules, so it was still cut by Nelis's demonic magic.
The price was only a finger.
A demon's finger would quickly grow back as long as there was enough food.
The only problem was that this Divine Fire was a level-13 item, and Nelis was only level-9. During the absorption process, there was the possibility of being devoured by the Divine Fire at any time. If Nelis was devoured by the Divine Fire, this Infant God might even form a shadow.
A shadow of a Infant God was also level-10. If it caused trouble in the Mage Tower, even Salin did not know what to do.
Nelis used the crudest method. She let the two separated Divine Fires float in the air. She stabbed the Star Condensation Needle into the Divine Fire and stirred it hard. Inside the Divine Fire, a tiny particle was hidden. This was the core of the Divine Fire, the sleeping consciousness of the Infant God girl. The reason why Nelis used her finger to cut the Divine Fire was to preserve the core intact.
No matter how grateful she was to Nicholas, she still wanted to keep the best for herself. Otherwise, she would not be a demon.
Nelis could not control her senses when she used the Star Condensation Needle to poke the Divine Fire's core. She could only rely on luck to attack. After about an hour, the Star Condensation Needle accidentally stabbed into the Divine Fire's core. The Divine Fire's core violently collapsed inward, trying to avoid the Star Condensation Needle's attack.
However, when the tip of the Star Condensation Needle touched the core, the collapse of the space inside the Divine Fire was forcibly stopped. As if a bubble had been popped, Nelis heard a crisp pop in her heart.
The Divine Fire suddenly expanded like a level-10 magic explosion. The constant temperature in the Elemental Mage Tower was broken, and the clothes of the three people burned at the same time. Salin hurriedly threw a level-12 magic core that had not been cut into the magic furnace. Only then did the temperature in the Mage Tower stop rising.
