[Second Update]
Nelis turned her Undead form into a skeleton and threw a trace of divine fire into the eye sockets of the skeleton, slowly transforming it into soul fire.
She did not need any soul fire herself. Lolo-Galo could transform her form, but she could not transform her soul. Even if she transformed into an Undead, she was still a demon. However, she could control the attributes of the Undead and fight as an Undead. Nelis had transformed the soul fire to refine the Fallen Scepter for Nicholas.
She had never used divine fire before. She had relied entirely on the instinct of her bloodline. Her soul could absorb the divine fire without its core, but the Fallen Scepter could not. Nelis had to find a safe way to prevent the old priest from suffering the backlash of the divine fire in the future.
A divine fire without its core would not take the initiative to attack, but it still had the instinct to devour. Nelis wanted to erase this instinct and turn the divine fire into pure power.
Transforming into an Undead form was not a problem. Nelis eventually turned into a Skeleton King. In her eyes, the golden soul fire danced vigorously. Then, Nelis returned to the form of a little demon.
The body of a Golden Dragon did not need to be refined by divine fire. The Golden Dragon that Nelis had devoured had not been completely digested, and its level was much higher than the divine fire ignited by the Nascent Soul. The Rule Power of the dragons was definitely not lower than the power of a false god.
After returning to the form of a little demon, Nelis picked up the bottle, took out the bone marrow of the Dread Angel, and began to refine the Scarlet Soul Tower. It was easy to refine the Scarlet Soul Tower. The difficult part was to refine the other half of the divine fire.
Nelis was patient enough. She sent the other broken eyeball of the Nascent Soul into the newly formed Scarlet Soul Tower. Outside the Scarlet Soul Tower, she refined a fragmented sphere and let the Scarlet Soul Tower settle inside. Then, she threw the divine fire the size of a fingernail into it.
Fortunately, the Dread Angel was also a level-12 creature, so its bone marrow would not be burned to ashes by the divine fire. The most powerful power in the divine fire had been taken away by Nelis. The other half of the divine fire had less than a tenth of the power that Nelis had absorbed.
The divine fire was controlled around the Scarlet Soul Tower. Nelis threw all the remaining materials in, including the Dread Angel's guge, muscles, and some of his keratin. It was impossible to tell what this newly refined blood-colored soul pagoda was. It looked like a broken eyeball covered in cracks.
Nelis carefully refined the eyeball-shaped Blood-Colored Soul Pagoda onto her scepter. She was even a little reluctant to part with it. Such precious equipment was going to be given to Nicholas?
However, when she saw Nicholas's white hair and wrinkled face, she could only reluctantly place the new Fallen Scepter in Nicholas's hands.
"Nicholas, I only put a dozen or so souls in. The things outside are all dead. I can't do anything about it …" Nelis said apologetically. In fact, she had secretly hidden hundreds of souls. However, she estimated that with these 18 souls, it would be enough for Nicholas to temporarily save his life.
To Nelis, making the Fallen Scepter for Nicholas was already because he had saved Salin. Eighteen powerful souls were also a bonus, enough to make her heart ache.
Nicholas smiled bitterly as he received the Fallen Scepter. As soon as the scepter touched his hand, his body began to tremble. There was no need to recite any incantations or prayers. There seemed to be countless channels on the scepter that were connected to the Scarlet Soul Tower.
Outside the 18-story Scarlet Soul Tower, pale red flames continued to burn. In the Scarlet Soul Tower, on the 13th floor, there were 18 powerful souls looking at their surroundings helplessly.
Nicholas did not hesitate to leave his Soul Imprint on the Scarlet Soul Tower. Immediately, a tall phantom appeared above the Scarlet Soul Tower. The eighteen souls in the thirteenth floor immediately had an illusion. This tall figure was their god, their pillar of support.
The 18 powerful souls immediately worshipped Nicholas' Soul Imprint. Nicholas felt that his injuries had stopped worsening. He heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little curious about the origins of these 18 souls.
However, Nelis was very proud. These 18 souls were the human believers who had been devoured by the God's Infant. These believers' souls were not originally that strong, but they had evolved during the assimilation process. The God's Infant was suddenly killed by Salin, but these souls did not dissipate. They were still in the God's Infant's body and were captured by Nelis.
Other souls that were sent into the Scarlet Soul Tower would evolve very slowly. However, these 18 souls' evolution speed was dozens of times faster than ordinary souls. The highest they could reach was Level 13.
Salin and Nelis saw that Nicholas' transformation was very rapid. First, he could sit on his own and no longer leaned against the wall. Then, his eyes quickly lit up and he straightened his back.
The wrinkles on Nicholas' face were also disappearing quickly. In less than half an hour, his skin was as tender as a baby's. Other than a head of white hair, Nicholas' body could be considered to have completely recovered.
"Master, this old man has really benefited a lot. What's annoying is that I didn't turn my hair black. This is to remind you!" Nelis said unhappily. This head of white hair fell into Salin's eyes. Wasn't it constantly reminding Salin that Nicholas had once saved him?
"No, Nelis …" Salin wanted to explain, but seeing Nelis' expression, he could only smile and let it go. Nelis simply stayed by Salin's side. She leaned against Salin and watched Nicholas recover his power.
Nicholas did not leave his hair white on purpose. The backlash he received from the Divine Art's curse was no small matter. It was definitely not something that could be eliminated by absorbing the Divine Fire. However, all kinds of wonderful methods in the Divine Art allowed him to transfer the curse to his hair. From then on, his hair could no longer turn black unless he understood a higher rule and surpassed the power of the God's Infant.
Although Nicholas' gains were great, it could not compare to Nelis. He obtained half of the Divine Fire, but the essence part was absorbed by Nelis. However, Nelis was really generous this time. She gave him 18 powerful souls and even refined the fragment of the Nascent Soul's eyeball outside the Blood-Red Soul Pagoda, causing the Blood-Red Soul Pagoda to have many changes and abilities.
Nelis was not stupid. She realized that Nicholas's Minor Prophecy was really powerful. Moreover, this Minor Prophecy could not be guarded against. It could penetrate most obstacles and directly affect the enemy.
If others used Minor Prophecy like Nicholas did, they would almost die after one or two times. Nicholas was lucky and could repair his soul completely every time.
Of course, this was not Nicholas's own luck. It was the luck he had received from Salin after following him. Salin was unlucky to have signed that kind of contract with the Goddess Myers. There were also the heroic spirits in the cemetery, the Astrologer Cain, and even a future enemy, Faka.
Signing such an unequal contract with so many people had left Salin heavily in debt. However, it was precisely because of the existence of these contracts that Salin's luck had improved. Before completing the contract, his fate had already undergone earth-shattering changes. There were many people in this world who had been blessed by the Goddess. The number of rings that the Goddess had refined at that time was more than a hundred. However, only Salin had turned from a mediocre person into a wise level-nine Magic Shooter in the shortest amount of time.
In the eyes of an Astrologer, Salin's luck was indescribably good. He had faced creatures that were more than level-12 twice and survived. He had even turned them into materials for refining equipment. This kind of thing could only happen in ancient times. The current Magic Shooters had too little powerful equipment.
"Nicholas, how is it?" Salin asked when he saw Nicholas open his eyes.
"Master, it's fine. Next time … don't be so scary. That Nascent Soul's power is at least level-10, and the rules it comprehended are level-13!" Nicholas tried to calm his tone.
"I know, but if I don't fight, I won't have a chance. I can't just watch Nelis die."
"Then, Nelis, don't let the Master take risks for you in the future," Nicholas said to Nelis very seriously.
Nelis wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth and swallowed the words she wanted to say. She only said, "I understand. I won't do it next time."
Salin glanced at Neris in astonishment. Neris lowered her head obediently, looking docile and obedient. She thought to herself, The old man's words are somewhat reasonable, but I'll remember you for lecturing me like this!
The Elemental Magic Tower did not fly. Instead, it floated in the water. This saved a lot of energy, but it was too slow. There happened to be a small island in front of them that was only about a kilometer in size. Salin flew the Elemental Magic Tower and landed on the island, storing it in his dimensional stone. The Elemental Magic Tower was very troublesome to retrieve and store. However, even if Salin advanced to level-10, he could not use such a huge thing at any time.
The dragon skeleton warship docked outside the island. Salin flew into the sky and looked around. The surrounding sea was very calm. He did not see any ferocious magical beasts. If it was not too far from the coast, it would be a good fishing ground. Nelis and Nicholas followed behind Salin. Their vision was not as good as Salin's, so they could only see a few kilometers away.
Just as he was about to return to the dragon skeleton warship, Salin suddenly saw a huge dark cloud gathering in the southern sea. Without much calculation, Salin, who had lived by the sea since he was young, knew that a storm was coming, and a storm that would last for a long time.
The dark cloud approached quickly. Salin saw a ship that was desperately sailing north a hundred kilometers away. At the speed of the ship, it might not be able to avoid the strong wind and huge waves behind it.
