Chapter 536: Wrath of god (Part 1)

Saleen used his finger to draw across the air, and a crystal clear ice mirror appeared in front of him. In the ice mirror, Saleen could see that the faint black marking on his forehead was swirling continuously, as if it was a plume of smoke.

The white light on Saleen’s left hand lit up again. Saleen used his finger to wipe his forehead, causing the marking to disappear. The moment he removed his finger, the black marking appeared again.

“Ker….”

Nailisi kept kicking Ismail’s abdomen, causing Ismail to spit out a piece of his internal organs. Nailisi was really enraged this time around. She never thought that Ismail could trick Saleen under such circumstances.

“Nailisi, it’s fine, it was a mark of hatred. All believers of the Hell King will attack me the moment they detect this mark. If I enter the purgatory plane, the Hell King may even kill me personally. Am I right, Ismail?”

Ismail made some muffled gurgling noises with his throat. At this moment, he could no longer speak.

“Actually, I wanted to spare your life, but it seems like there is no need for that anymore.” In a rare moment, Saleen’s voice had became frosty. Indeed, he never intended to kill Ismail. At this point in time, Ismail had left a mark of hatred on Saleen’s body, so they were in a situation whereby one of them had to die.

Saleen never expected Ismail to be so tough, Ismail was willing to die rather than concede. This was in stark contrast to the believers of the Lord of Glory. Unless one was a fanatic believer of the Lord of Glory, they could be subdued by force. This Ismail believed in two gods, he was scarier than a fanatic believer.

This made Saleen puzzled, “Since Ismail had submitted himself to the Myers Goddess, why can’t he concede to me?”

The only consolation for Saleen was that Ismail had been imprisoned in Lorga City for too long, so he did not understand the current situation on the mainland. To date, no one on the Myers mainland could enter the purgatory plane and the gods in the purgatory plane could not influence the Myers mainland either.

If the Hell King could travel to the Myers mainland, Saleen would of course be wary of the mark of hatred, but the problem was that even the Lord of Glory could not come to the Myers mainland. Since the Hell King did not even have a single believer here, it was even more impossible for him to come to the Myers mainland. Even if he got here, he would be exterminated by the believers of the Lord of Glory. The best outcome would be the destruction of several divine avatars, while the worst outcome was the Hell King slipping into a deep slumber, causing the purgatory plane to crumble.

Gods were absent in the death plane, that was why it got invaded by the abyssal plane. The god of the plane of the Myers mainland had only fallen a short while ago, and the Lord of Glory had already come forth to spread his religion. Saleen did not believe that the Hell King would risk searching for the Myers mainland in this colossal universe to avenge one his subordinates.

“Nailisi, stop hitting him, I will settle this.” Saleen stopped Nailisi’s bashing. After he crushed Ismail’s tongue, Ismail was only left with half his life. As Saleen talked, he came before Ismail, bending down and placing his left hand on Ismail’s forehead.

Ismail’s eyeballs were hanging outside his orbitals, so he could not see what Saleen was trying to do. His face remained savage, with no intention of giving up. Saleen sighed as the white light on his hand carried a tinge of green hue, infiltrating Ismail’s head.

Who told him to believe in the Goddess of Myers? In terms of the divinity of the Goddess of Myers, Saleen was one was much higher than that of Ismail’s. Usually, Saleen would not have a chance to use his left hand to touch Ismail. Now Ismail was gravely injured, so he had no strength to resist at all.

Saleen’s hand entered Ismail’s head, before withdrawing quickly, and a crystal clear divine crystal had appeared in it. Indeed, Ismail had preserved his believer’s conviction. After being in Lorga for so many years, a divine crystal had condensed in his body, which was why he could wield the Elemental Spear so easily.

Seeing that Saleen had finished off the enemy, Lex then led her men over.

Saleen put away the divine crystal, while Nailisi swiftly stored Ismail’s body in the Dimension Stone. If she delayed any more time, the Ultimate Shapeshifting Skill would be exposed. Even a demon could not bear to look at Ismail’s hideous true appearance.

“What’s going on?” Lex asked a vague question, she was not sure why Saleen killed his own follower. She knew that Saleen valued talent more than herself, he would not do such a thing without rhyme nor reason.

“This is …” Saleen didn’t know how to explain it. Thus, he simply said, “He had killed two people from the Holy See and he had released more than two kinds of divine powers, you felt it right?”

“Yes, I thought that…”

“Don’t go on anymore, we should get going. In at most three days, Holy See’s people will enter the desert in a large-scale fashion. This time around, I promise that there will be enemies we cannot handle.”

“We will set off at sunrise, there are four more hours,” Lex replied worriedly.

Cuisi led the few demons to put away the zombies which had reverted into shreds of clothing. Such a method of producing zombies was never heard of on the Myers mainland. If one could grasp such a skill, they would possess a very mighty weapon. These zombies did not look strong, but Cuisi knew that they were very horrifying because none of the demons could kill them despite spending so much time trying to.

Aiwa’s and Luola’s weapons were magic equipment, yet the meteor hammer only caused light damage to the zombies. Had they been magic beasts, Aiwa would have slaughtered hundreds of them.

After killing Ismail, Saleen still felt uneasy. There was no time for him to do further calculations though. Seizing the four-hour rest time, Saleen began helping Eleanor produce arrows.

The Crystal Arrow could not be produced anymore. The crystals with space attributes were too expensive and Saleen did not have many of them. Nailisi took out some divinecherry wood and handed it to Saleen, then she began studying the divine crystal, which Saleen had given her, quietly.

Ismail’s power was really strong. If he had not been deceived by Saleen, he could not have been killed even if Lex’s men pitched in.

Now that Saleen knew how perilous the situation was, he no longer held back his capabilities. To date, he had trained until the water flames had a diameter of about two yards, so it could refine larger equipment. Saleen had long committed the drawing provided by Eleanor to memory. When the divinecherry wood was added into the water flames, many changes took place. Eventually, pieces of emerald-green feather arrow shapes were formed, allowing Saleen to input magic patterns on them.

Elvish magic and elemental magic were not very different. Saleen had some understanding of natural divine magic, so the refinement process was more secured. Eleanor also never imagined that she could one day own her dream weapon. Even though the Crystal Arrow was stronger, it was more prone to damage. The divinecherry wood was also very renowned on the elf plane.

In the sacred land, there was a divinecherry branch which had to be watered using water from the Fountain of Life. In a year, it would only grow sufficient materials for crafting one feather arrow.

The elf plane was too far from the abyssal plane and that branch was left behind by a human back then. At this moment, Saleen was going to produce a quiver of elvish feather arrows for her in one go. Finally, Eleanor had some sense of security.

A quiver belonging to the elves was a standard spatial equipment, it could only be used to store arrows. One quiver could contain one-hundred and twenty feather arrows.

Saleen produced elvish arrows for Eleanor because her archery could paralyze the target, and he valued such an advantage. Even though Saleen’s Crystal Finger was powerful, it could only engage the enemy within a range of ten yards. If a grand swordmaster got close to Saleen, Saleen would be as good as dead at a distance of ten yards. If Saleen wanted to kill the enemy using the Crystal Finger, he had to strike before the enemy did.

Nailisi was feeling vexed. She had obtained the body of the supreme demon and Ismail’s divine crystal, but she did not dare devour them. The moment Nailisi tried to absorb the strength of these two mighty beings, she might fall into a deep slumber. Nailisi had no time for rest at the moment.

Nailisi’s bloodline was unique. At this point in time, she was secretly absorbing the power of the divine crystal obtained from Ismail’s brain, thus gaining a wee bit of divine strength. Once utilized, it was very onerous to regain the powers which had been amassed by faith, unless one was a fixed believer. Fortunately, Ismail’s divine crystal was very pure and sizeable, otherwise Ismail could not have been able to wield the Elemental Spear.

Nailisi began trying to open the remaining page of the Twelve Notes of the First Purgatory. The torn page might appear destroyed, but as long as the power of the divine crystal was added, it could still be unleashed.

Delase wanted to destroy the spaces of the Twelve Notes of the First Purgatory by committing suicide, but he was not that powerful. This space in this last remaining page was actually much larger than the flame purgatory. The flame purgatory and the neighboring spaces might have been obliterated, but this last darkness purgatory space was the sturdiest of all.

Originally, the Twelve Notes of the First Purgatory was a spatial equipment created by the Lord of Glory to simulate the purgatory. His divinity was light, but the Lord of Glory possessed a deeper understanding of darkness. The Twelve Notes of the First Purgatory was created using the darkness purgatory as the core. Nailisi had obtained the nuclear component of this equipment.

After much hesitation, Nailisi still did not dare swallow the last page of this holy equipment as she was afraid of the presence of some underlying trap inside. “If the energy in this equipment is converted into my own power, I might be transformed into a piece of equipment too. If that happens, it will not be worthwhile anymore.”

Nailisi’s prudence had saved her own life. If she had refined this piece of equipment, all her vitality would have been absorbed by the equipment. Even though Saleen had a duplicate of her soul, Saleen also could not salvage her life. She was also making the right choice at the moment. She had used Ismail’s divine crystal to repair the torn page from the twelve Notes of the First Purgatory. Once complete, this equipment would no longer be related to the Lord of Glory.

Ismail’s divine crystal contained the power of the Goddess of Myers. The Goddess of Myers might have fallen, but her divinity could still denude the imprint left by the Lord of Glory, thus turning this equipment into an ownerless item.

Currently, Titan Duchy had sunk into utter chaos. The Agares family had cowered and gone into hiding. As a result, only the confrontation between Cloudflow’s army and Tanggulasi’s army remained.

Tanggulasi Empire had seized all control of the northern Chishui River while the Cloudflow Empire dominated the southern part of the Chishui River. The metal bridge at the Stone Statue Castle had been destroyed. Even though the iron knights from the Tanggulasi Empire could still cross the river, the support troops could hardly keep up. Consequently, the scale of battles between both parties was limited, but the destruction caused by these fights was not small at all. Holy masters and mages had joined in the battle. Over thirty cities situated on both sides of the Chishui River had been ruined, sending the people of Titan fleeing in all directions.
