Chapter 1300: Seeing the Angel of Fear Again (Part 3)
Saleen was moved. The G.o.d’s body fragments were very valuable for mages.
Because Inbosa rushed to deal with the True Might, Saleen’s Bug Angel Warriors retreated to the fringes of the city, ready to break through at any time. Even if they continued to delay, he would still have a way to escape from the power of the city territory.
The simplest way would be using the clan badge to destroy the upper part of the territory enveloping the city. Saleen only needed one second. His Comet Flash could move tens of thousands of meters.
Although the burden on his body would be great, Floating City was right above him. After returning to Floating City, Saleen would not be afraid of Alchemy City, unless Alchemy City could fly.
Grand Duke Iron Blood a few dozen meters, close to Saleen. The rainbow dragon no longer rejected Saleen that much. After all, Saleen was strong. The rainbow dragon had signed a contract with a human. It was easier for the giant dragon to accept humans compared to ordinary giant dragons.
Humans liked to use the bodies of giant dragons for alchemy, but giant dragons liked to eat humans as a snack. There was not any right or wrong about it. The dragon race did not hold a grudge.
“Your Majesty, the G.o.d’s body fragments…”
“You will automatically possess a divine kingdom s.p.a.ce. It is a good material for refining spatial equipment. Furthermore, it is extremely st.u.r.dy and can be used to craft armor, weapons…”
“I know all of this. I am asking, Your Majesty, if can you help me to refine a piece of equipment for me using the G.o.d’s body fragments?”
“Will you provide the blueprints or will I have to design it?”
“I have blueprints.”
“Half price,” Saleen smiled as he said.
Grand Duke Iron Blood was stunned, and then understood. Saleen’s original price was probably to earn the full amount of money. The meaning of half price was to only collect the labor cost. Saleen’s reason was because the Duke had taken the initiative to mention the issue and did not want to allow Inbosa to refine this piece of equipment. In his heart, the Duke harbored some reservations against Inbosa.
Being on guard was good. Inbosa had split his soul. It was inevitable that he would descend into madness. Although he appeared to be a good helper, he would eventually cause problems.
Inbosa was unable to hear the conversation. Saleen had compressed his territory to only envelope himself and Grand Duke Iron Blood. He directly used electric current to grind a small-scale alchemic machinery that was as small as a speck of dust. The alchemic machinery did not possess any killing power. It could only be used to transmit sounds, allowing Inbosa to secretly eavesdrop.
Before, Saleen would have had no way to find such harmless equipment. Now that his control over his territory was more detailed, Inbosa’s petty measures were useless.
“Then it’s agreed, we will stay for another half an hour. We will no longer nitpick over the losses of our armies.” Grand Duke Iron Blood had made his decision. There would definitely be the remains of an ancient giant dragon on his Dragon Island, which could be used to make dragon armor. However, if the G.o.d’s body fragments were added, his armor would become as st.u.r.dy as a fortress.
The dragon race’s scales did not have as strong of a spatial property as the G.o.d’s race’s body. A powerful G.o.d’s body itself was a divine kingdom that was able to contain hundreds of millions of creatures.
Saleen made some calculations. He could craft Darkness magic patterns. They possessed spatial properties. It was a pity that it required many materials.
Inbosa’s actions were alarming. His magic was different from Saleen’s. It was explosive and fast. A giant flame creature had been summoned and descended from the sky, pouncing onto the body of the True Might. The True Might was immediately trapped. The puppet under it was skilled in hand-to-hand combat but was unable to eliminate the magic attack.
If it was physical force against physical force, the True Might would be able to match the Dragon Knight. Of course, he held suspicions that the Duke was colluding with a third party. Grand Duke Iron Blood wanted to leave, up until Inbosa had revealed the matter of the G.o.d’s body fragments.
“Saleen…” Grand Duke Iron Blood wanted to say something, but he saw Saleen’s expression tense.
“What is it?”
“Please, Duke, if you have any soul-protecting equipment, use it as quickly as you can!”
“Huh…” Grand Duke Iron Blood draped on his armor without any hesitation. It was Saleen’s first time seeing such overbearing and arrogant armor.
The exaggerated pair of long horns on the head was refined with real dragon horns. The front of the helmet had a piece of polished dragonshard that served as a mask. Saleen could only sigh in appreciation at the method of polis.h.i.+ng the dragonshard, the skill was definitely not from the most recent millennium. The history of this helmet was probably over 2,000 years old.
Long thorns jutted out from the back of the armor, and cracks of dragon scales could be seen between the arms and waist. The inner layer was soft armor refined using the skin of a dragon’s back. Saleen estimated if a level 9 magic spell was thrown at it, there would not be much of a reaction.
The battle greaves and gauntlets all had entire pieces of dragon scales. The belt was a crimson red dragon vein.
He dared to be fully clothed in materials taken from a giant dragon’s body, but had not been eaten by giant dragons. Grand Duke Iron Blood was the first such person.
The back of this armor had eight small eight-sided war flags. On each war flag, a dragon race’s magic array had been drawn on.
Saleen had always felt that he was enough of a show off. After seeing Grand Duke Iron Blood’s armor, he immediately felt ashamed of his inferiority.
Saleen used his Water s.h.i.+eld again. Lightning magic patterns flashed along the Water s.h.i.+eld to defend against the enemies that were about to arrive.
On a distant street, strange black colored creatures appeared. The creatures were six to seven meters long. They ran quickly, colliding into the Bug Angel Warriors that were before them. Saleen recognized them: the pests that he had seen at the Imperial City of the Abyss.
The one driving out the pests to fight was an Angel of Fear.
The Bug Angel Warriors were originally much stronger than the pests, but once the Angel of Fear arrived, the Bug Angel Warriors immediately scattered in defeat. Dragon Blood Warriors were not fearless. Each harbored their own weakness. The Angel of Fear had not even demonstrated any powerful skills. Just by releasing fear ripples, it caused the nearby Bug Angel Armor to be defeated.
Saleen felt helpless. Even his Bug Angel Warriors were unable to match the Angel of Fear.
Saleen’s Bug Angel Warriors were all imps. In the hearts of the imps, the Angel of Fear would probably turn into the supreme demons that pursued and captured them. Once it approached, their courage was scared away by their fear.
The Angel of Fear was less than 10 meters tall, and there was a face at its stomach that caused people to feel disgusted.
Saleen was not afraid of the Angel of Fear’s soul attack skills, but it was a level 12 creature. Its physical attacks were troubling.
Four star figures lined up in front of Saleen. The rainbow dragon was somewhat contemptuous.
The face in the Angel of Fear’s stomach released a soul fragmenting skill. The scales on the entire body of Grand Duke Iron Blood’s rainbow giant dragon stood up. It actually felt terror.
Saleen did not intend to put himself forward. The Angel of Fear’s attacks had been blocked by his lightning magic patterns. Anything that wanted to attack Saleen’s soul now would have to surpa.s.s level 14 and release a level 14 skill. Level 13 creatures who wanted to use higher level skills would be helpless against Saleen.
The Ring of Cosmos did not only increase mental power. Saleen had discovered that it was able to protect the soul. The protection was not comprehensive, because Saleen had not grasped the true uses of exchange. Even so, because the rules were powerful, the Ring of Cosmos protected Saleen against soul attacks.
Within the area of half a kilometer, all creatures suffered mental breakdowns under the attack of the Angel of Fear. Only three people were safe and sound – Grand Duke Iron Blood, Saleen, and Imbosa.
Inbosa had even become a hundred times more alert because of this attack.
“Angel of Fear! Alchemy City had it hidden away, hahahaha!” Inbosa roared with laughter. He swept away the True Might, and pounced onto the Angel of Fear.
“Inbosa!” Grand Duke Iron Blood was astounded. He cried out, afraid that Inbosa would be killed by the Angel of Fear. Although he had Dragon Blood Warriors around, developing the Dragon Island still required a powerful alchemist. For the moment, he did not dare to rely on Saleen. Saleen had his own kingdom and Followers. They might not think the same way as Saleen.
If Saleen’s subordinates wanted to conquer the continent, Saleen might not refuse to accommodate their wishes.
“Has Inbosa gone made?” Saleen asked Grand Duke Iron Blood.
“Not yet.” Grand Duke Iron Blood did not want to fight the Angel of Fear. He put away his rainbow dragon and resummoned the purple-gold giant dragon. The soul of the purple gold giant dragon was stronger than that of the rainbow dragon and would not be affected by the Angel of Fear.
“Such a disgusting thing.” After the purple gold giant dragon had come out, it appraised the Angel of Fear.
“It’s good material.” Saleen recalled the Angel of Fear’s unique soul and his mind began moving. However, after seeing Inbosa’s appearance, he estimated that he did not have much hope of s.n.a.t.c.hing it.
The purple gold giant dragon glared fiercely at Saleen. Saleen pretended he had not seen anything. The giant dragon was dissatisfied with the greed of humans. It was normal, especially when talking about materials. Every part of the giant dragon’s body was a top level material. Even the giant dragons used the scales they had shed to create magic equipment.
Saleen summoned tens of thousands of lightning puppets to help Grand Duke Iron Blood s.n.a.t.c.h back the Bug Angel Warriors who had been seized by the Angel of Fear’s Fear skill. These Bug Angels were the Grand Duke’s most elite troops. Saleen helping him to save a few was doing him a favor.
Grand Duke Iron Blood tossed him a look of grat.i.tude. Ultimately, the Dragon Blood Warriors were much more valuable than the Iron Blood Warriors. Iron Blood Warriors were all ancient humans. Even if they did not die, their lifespan was not that long and they could only be treated as consumables when used. However, the Dragon Blood Warriors had a complete soul. If they did not die in battle, after advancement, they could live as long as ancient humans.
Ancient humans, even ordinary low-level professionals, had a lifespan of thousands of years. Above level 7, they could live for close to 10,000 years. It was precisely because they had such a long lifespan that humans were able to cultivate to an extremely fearsome extent.
Saleen retrieved the War Drum of Fear, allowing the lightning puppets to capture the pests and throw them into the War Drum of Fear.
He did not dare to hit it. After all, after the Angel of Fear within the War Drum of Fear had been split, so it was not as powerful as the Angel of Fear opposite them. Saleen was afraid that once he hit the War Drum of Fear, the Angel of Fear would counteract and destroy it.
