Chapter 1151: Gratification (Part 1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Saleen allowed the parts that grew out from Sky City’s mechanical core to be incorporated into the appearance of the metal tower, completely covering the six uppermost floors of the Magical Element Tower. The metal towers could grow up the exterior of the Magical Element Tower or contract back inside, which made it seem as if the Magical Element Tower’s peak had gained a giant mechanical gear.
A large portion of the mechanical core’s power had been absorbed by Jason, meaning Saleen controlled the 17th floor and above, and the 16 floors below were all controlled by Jason.
The master and disciple pair, based on their own individual concepts, turned the parts that grew out of the mechanical core into two different strange forms.
The part controlled by Saleen was very realistic. It was a huge metal machinery, where a magic net could be laid out. Jason created a variety of sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, as well as flowers, trees, and plants, as if he was creating a new world.
Within Saleen’s reality, there were many meticulous and beautiful tempos and rhythms, the magic patterns on the metal towers were already completely different from the ones obtained from the ancient combat vessel.
Within Jason’s romanticism, a boundless murderous intent was concealed.
The mountains and rivers were obviously a large magic array that had changed in form. The sun, the moon, and the stars were all placed on the nodes required for Elemental Resonance. The flowers, trees, and plants were all fatal. Even what looked like dirt was Earth Element that looked on the verge of collapse and able to cause a large number of disasters.
Jason’s techniques were extremely skilled, as if it was prepared for a long time or had been refined for hundreds of thousands of years.
After the two exhausted their powers, the power of the Six Elements’ Heavy Water had still not been completely absorbed. It was only after this time that the bottom 16 floors opened up and expanded up to the same extent as the upper floors.
The inner s.p.a.ce of the Magical Element Tower expanded up to 360 meters on each side, and every floor was 120 meters tall.
It could not be compared to the s.p.a.ce refined by the G.o.ddess of Myers. Saleen and Jason were both only level 10 Mage Trainers, and their powers were far worse than the G.o.ddess of Myers.
The large magic power furnace and Sky City’s mechanical core had fused together, and the mechanical core had expanded to every floor of the Magical Element Tower. The center of the magical tower was not very different from other magical towers, however the top had been able to change into tiers of metal towers, arranged into a complicated magic net.
The lower part was modelled after a rich world, but Saleen had no idea what its purpose was. The flora and fauna would not jump out of the magical tower to engage in battle. Saleen was only a level 10 mage, there was no way for him to create anything that was alive.
But Saleen was not worried. These changes would not weaken the magical tower’s offensive capabilities, and in the future, the magical tower would be capable of attacks even during flight. The power provided by the large-scale magic power furnace, as well as the appearance of the Six Elements’ Heavy Water, caused the properties of the magical towers to be completely changed.
Since the Six Elements’ Heavy Water was so wonderful, who knew what kind of changes his 24 lightning dragons would undergo. Saleen felt more and more antic.i.p.ation for the result.
“Saleen, these are all only the processes,” Jason’s words echoed timely. No matter how wondrous the Six Elements’ Heavy Water was, it was not worth it for him to lose his bearings because of it.
“I understand.” Saleen smiled widely. “I will now proceed to the next temple, and look to see what things Myers left behind for me.”
“Go, Saleen, now that you have grasped this domain, I am able to set my mind at ease.”
Saleen bade farewell to his teacher, brought his followers, quickly moved the magical tower, and returned to the cave. The cave had not been discovered by the people from the Holy See, but Saleen still wiped out all traces of the teleportation portal, snuck out of the cave with Sika and the others, and headed south.
The Holy See did not deploy troops to that sort of place, as the cave where Saleen hid himself was hundreds of meters away from the deceased head inquisitor’s skywell.
It was only when they were almost at the Cloudflow borders that Saleen released the Magical Element Tower and flew towards the 8th temple. The magical tower quickly flew from the mountainous area and pa.s.sed a number of cities. Saleen did not increase the alt.i.tude, using it to brazenly tell Agares that he had returned.
Saleen’s Magical Element Tower was no longer purely for defense. Nailisi placed thousands of demonic spirits in it. The bodies were much worse compared to demons in terms of combat ability, however they were equally strong in mental strength.
The demonic spirits were carefully selected and cultivated, and they were already able to release high level magic spells. Thousands of demonic spirits were equivalent to thousands of sorcerers. Even Alchemy City did not have such a luxury.
The demonic spirits all became enchanters. Saleen’s ideas had not been achieved in many cities, but they had been achieved in his own magical tower.
Sika and the others were also much more relaxed. The demonic spirits were able to attack within a range of 500 meters from the magical tower, thus they would no longer have to grapple with enemies. For the time being, everyone could make use of this time to learn.
The 16th to 18th floor of the Magical Element Tower were now residences. The 16th floor was where the mechanical core was placed. Nailisi took the whole area for herself. After she was severely wounded, she rarely spoke, and seemed to have become more gentle.
The 17th floor was Saleen, Sika, Elena, and Sul’s residence.
The 18th floor was given to Truman, Isabella, Daniel and the level 9 archers who had been transferred from the royal harbor.
The demonic spirits stayed in the upper six floors. The lower 15 floors only had six mages living on each floor, who were all from Sreeger Island and had never entered the Six Elements’ s.p.a.ce before. They were all genius mages who had advanced to become sorcerers. Jason had no plans to allow them to utilize the Six Elements’ s.p.a.ce to advance and placed high hopes on them.
Due to the Magical Element Tower’s change, Saleen felt sufficiently secure in his own safety, so he brought a group of mages out to practice and gain experience. Nailisi’s demons looked after them.
The Magical Element Tower’s method of flight looked the same as before. It was shrouded in clouds and mist, and within the clouds and mist, magic of the six great elements a.s.sisted in the magical tower’s flight. However, Saleen knew that the power of the Magical Element Tower had increased by an unknown amount.
For the current Magical Element Tower, Saleen was able to enter and exit at will without needing a teleportation portal. To him, this magical tower was like a mini piece of equipment that could be easily manipulated.
The 24-floor magical tower originally had six windows per floor. Attacks from within the magical tower need no longer be through the windows, so Saleen could have the windows sealed shut. Unless the magical tower suffered a great deal of harm, they would no longer need to do such a troublesome thing.
Within the air, giant clouds were dispersed by the Magical Element Tower, and the magical tower suddenly began to descend into a village.
The Magical Element Tower fell to the ground with a loud sound and smashed a mud house into pieces, causing mud to fly everywhere. The magical tower was buried deep into the ground.
The people in the house were killed. Saleen joked coldly, “Cloudflow people are really petty. Are they pa.s.sing off as peasants to hinder my path?”
Saleen actually did not speak incorrectly. His magical tower had descended and destroyed a farmhouse, and dozens of able-bodied men dressed as civilians instantly rushed at him, pointing towards the magical tower and swearing loudly.
It was too much. Although mages rarely killed innocents, when they handled their affairs, the majority of them would not take the lives of normal people into consideration. If they were really civilians, if they encountered a situation where a magical tower fell from the sky, they would escape. They would definitely not rush up and start scolding.
If people want to search for death, there were many ways, and making a nuisance of mages was the least sensible way, because their death would take a very long time.
“Sul, time to get to work.” Saleen yelled. Sul had already rushed out from the magical tower, the longsword that Saleen had refined for him dancing in his grasp. The civilians were unable to maintain their disguise. Sul’s sword aura spread widely, causing their blood to boil.
“How is it.” Saleen pointed towards the exposed “civilians.””Truman, you no longer pity them now right?”
Truman laughed bitterly. “Teacher, I will not pity them. We are showing off too much. Agares will think and plan to use all kinds of methods to use magic to record this incident of you killing the fake civilians and place it within the memory crystal.”
“If that is the case, we will be very pa.s.sive.” Truman explained the fact to Saleen, forcefully speaking the sentence.
“Truman, the reason I am doing this is to tell you that when you possess the power to refuse, you must never pretend to be a weakling. Agares obviously has level 10 strength, but the way he does things is still so wretched and petty, he is not much different from other people from Cloudflow. Perhaps the greatest difference is his ideals are still so grand. At the very least he wants to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Pope.
Saleen taught with his words and deeds. He had experienced something similar to Truman, from a Grand Mage he quickly became a level 9 sorcerer, he had been unable to acclimatize to such advancement instantly, and his att.i.tude had not changed the slightest.
IT seemed to have obstructed Saleen’s advancement, if not for Jason’s reminder, Saleen going to the Imperial City of the Abyss to polish his mind to be as bright as a crystal, Saleen would not have been able to advance to level 10.
Truman and Saleen were about the same, after leaving Sreeger Island, Truman was still a normal mage and did not have any areas that he excelled in. Even if Saleen had identified his talent, he had only given him a few pointers and encouragement.
The current Truman was just like the past Saleen. The difference was that Saleen’s most direct method was to let Truman understand how a mage like Jason handled affairs.
“I can understand, but to do this for my sake, the cost is quite big,” Truman said calmly.
“Cost? If one wants to gain something, one must pay for it. That is the case for you and for me. All this time I have not had the patience to give you guidance, but you have not disappointed me. Truman, ah, thinking of how Teacher treated me, it makes me very ashamed.”
“Ai…” Truman heaved a long sigh, not knowing what to say to his teacher. He already felt extremely grateful towards Saleen. Without Saleen’s support and guidance, he would forever have been unable to achieve what he had, not to mention any future prospects.
