“Mage, you are too greedy. You will pay the price for greed.” The souls of the puppets fluctuated, which told Saleen that they were angry.
But did that matter?
The ancient figures he summoned needed ti to be compatible with the environnt. Taking apart the 24 temples had already made Saleen summon 360 ancient figures. The figures were all at the peak of level 9 capabilities, and Saleen’s limit for manipulating figures of the grade was 360.
There was no need to be afraid of the approaching new territory. Saleen’s 360 figures were not subjected to any limitations.
Saleen had assistants. Facing thousands of puppets was not a frightening prospect. The process of taking apart the temples allowed him to experint with his magic over and over again. His elental magic was subject to very few limitations. The ageing spell was ineffective on his body due to the Starline equipnt, which had resistance towards curse skills. Even his figure of fate was not affected by the ageing spell.
“Looks like both of you don’t want to make a trade, in that case let’s battle.” As Saleen spoke, he leapt and flew up, using the Quickcloud Spell for his flight. The dense cloud wrapped around Saleen’s body, but allowed Saleen’s perception to be released even further. Saleen possessed a basic territory, but it was very pure and concise. A territory of the sa grade would have no chance of affecting him.
A water elent territory caused Saleen’s Quickcloud spell to change. Within the range that was covered by the clouds, Saleen’s ntal power controlled elental power, forming attack-type living creatures.
The ntal power used was not much, but the living creatures were seen and analysed by Saleen.
The strong living creatures Saleen had encountered before were not few, and the Tiago giant dragon was one of them.
Within the clouds created by Saleen’s Quickcloud spell, a huge Tiago giant dragon shot out frost. It was the most powerful living creature created by Saleen. The scales of the giant dragon looked real. The only regrettable part was that it was too weak.
The Tiago giant dragon’s companion was a golden giant dragon. The golden giant dragon looked even more realistic, and its dragon’s might was strong. Saleen had Nailisi transform many tis for him to analyze it, otherwise he would not have been able to imitate the giant dragon’s skills and forms.
There were many more other types of living creatures, and their numbers beca much larger. The Quickcloud spell could envelop about 200 ters, which had room for thousands of living creatures of all kinds that had been imitated by Saleen.
There were even elental creatures like great fire snakes and eyes of the storm.
Single-horned white whales and silverline golden spearfish were within the range of Saleen’s imitations. There were also pan turtles and the krakens from the sea.
When Saleen hunted at the entrance of the Frozen Sea, he encountered many marine creatures. For almost every kind of living creature that could be caught, Saleen brought one back for the mages of Sreeger Island to properly analyze.
A few flying-type puppets jumped up and approached Saleen’s clouds. The puppets drilled into the clouds, but ended up in a head-to-head encounter with a single-horned white whale. The original body of the single-horned white whale was larger than the Quickcloud spell, but Saleen’s imitation was only several ters long.
The head of the single-horned white whale butted against a puppet.The horn on the crown of its head flashed with the radiance of magic, smashing the puppet into pieces. A great fire snake ca from behind, swallowing all the pieces in one gulp.
Saleen’s clouds imdiately expanded by one ter. The puppet’s energy had been absorbed by the great fire snake, and it spit out the remains onto the ground, causing vigorous flas to burn.
Even more flying-type puppets rushed into the clouds, but they were attacked by living creatures created by Saleen. They did not even manage to catch sight of Saleen before they were disintegrated, becoming appetizers for the territory’s living creatures.
From Saleen’s water elent territory, a new territory was derived – the elental creatures’ territory.
It was a benefit that was completely due to Saleen’s proficiency in Elent Conversion, otherwise he would have only been able to gain a water elental creature territory, and not a territory range that was ready to accommodate the six great elents.
The derivative territory was more beneficial for attacks. While Saleen’s water elent territory expressed his own fundantal power, it was the foundation for his advancent.
Without the water elent territory, Saleen would have been unable to gain the elental creatures’ territory.
How powerful was the elental creatures’ territory? Saleen was able to understand it by himself. On the ground, a huge puppet brandished a battle axe that weighed more than 3,000 jin and flew directly towards Saleen.
A pan turtle rushed to et it, using its shell to block the attack of the gigantic battle axe. The battle axe hit the and was embedded into it. The puppet wanted to retrieve it, but the pan turtle was bound by a kraken, whose tentacles were wrapped around the battle axe.
The puppet was unable to summon back its weapon, and its head suddenly exploded. Under the influence of the ageing spell for many years, the puppet’s composition had degenerated severely and was unable to bear fierce battle.
Saleen saw that his derivative territory was powerful and relaxed. Because the derivative territory controlled a much larger area than his water elent territory, he was finally able to use territorial power to battle with his enemies.
When the area controlled by the elental creatures’ territory exceeded a radius of one li, it ant that within the square area of one li, Saleen was able to summon thousands of elental creatures without much of a cost.
The strengths of the territory lay in the fact that maintaining the territory and using the territory for combat took about the sa levels of consumption.
Having seen Saleen’s suddenly explosive combat power, the two puppet chiefs felt so hesitation. They controlled all the puppets, but there were only about 30,000 puppets capable of battle. The remaining puppets were barely able to wave flags and cheer. If they fought, they would disintegrate.
Could it be that they had to personally take action?
The two puppets glanced at each other. The human mage had not even used any equipnt’s power and was already this powerful. If this mage had strong equipnt, the two already battered puppets were afraid that they would die.
They stood on the shoulders of the gigantic puppet. The gigantic puppet had not participated in the battle, but at this mont, it suddenly spoke to Saleen.
“Human mage, I will trade with you, I want to leave!”
“Big guy, what are you doing?”
“Don’t be stupid, he is human, you are a puppet!”
“Big guy, it was not easy for you to be born with a soul. If you are enslaved, there will never be any chance for growth.”
“That mage, he is very capable...” The gigantic puppet had so difficulty expressing himself. His soul was just born, and he bore a majority of the ageing spell’s curse. He could not fight at all.
“You cannot believe humans!” The puppet without legs shouted, wanting the gigantic puppets to co to its senses.
“The two of you are so shaless. Without this big guy, could you have lived? Now it wants freedom, you forbid it. If that is the case, I have no choice but to get rid of you two.”
As Saleen spoke, the Thunder Dragon Blaster erged. Dragon claws held on to Saleen’s shoulders, enabling Saleen to feel the connection between himself and the Thunder Dragon Blaster as if they were related by blood.
The might of the Thunder Dragon Blaster was not limited by Saleen’s grade. The only thing that was limited was the thod of locking on to the target. In the eyes of Saleen’s Starline Mask, the two puppets with souls were targeted, and Saleen was even more assured that the puppets had been affected by the curse, causing their capabilities to have long beco a shadow of their forr selves’.
However, the gigantic puppet’s capabilities were the strongest, and it bore the most of the ageing curse. If he got rid of all the puppets, would it be asking for trouble?
It should not be the case. At most, he would release the Myers Goddess’ godly power, and everything would be settled. The natural ageing spell could definitely be broken by natural godly power.
“Big guy, follow for a thousand years, and I will give you freedom,” Saleen tempted it.
“Dream on!” The two puppets objected at the sa ti. The gigantic puppet’s eyes sparkled, and the whole space flickered accordingly.
“I am willing, mage. Save !” Although the gigantic puppet had not been alive for long, its heart was very clear. The two ancient puppets created it, and even gave precious soul power to it, because they wanted it to bear the majority of the curse.
By the side of the two ancient puppets, it would never be able to obtain release.
“Big guy, you are disobedient. I am very disappointed...” The puppet missing an arm jumped, a hand inserted into the gigantic puppet’s ear hole.
Saleen laughed coldly. The two things had really thought that others did not know about their selfishness. The gigantic puppet was not an idiot. Having seen the opportunity, it would definitely think of ways to escape from their oppression.
If it remained, the gigantic puppet would be the two ancient puppets’ scapegoat.
“Mage, save !” the gigantic puppet shouted. An Eternal Control shard flew out of Saleen’s hand.
“Eat it, I will co and save you.” On the Eternal Control shard, a green Divine Glow twinkled, the Myers Goddess’ natural godly power.
The puppet without legs suddenly had a large buckler in its hand, aggressively hurling it at the Eternal Control shard. The buckler was hundreds of ters wide and was probably prepared for the short people among the Giants.
Saleen’s Thunder Dragon Blaster shot out two thunder icicles: one towards the buckler, and one towards the puppet.
Although the thunder icicles had been fired later, they achieved their purpose. They shot a hole the size of a basin through the buckler. The Eternal Control shard went through the hole and fell into the gigantic puppet’s mouth. The gigantic puppet forcefully sucked in, absorbing the Eternal Control shard into its brain.
A puppet’s core was typically its heart, but there were puppets which imitated humans and had their core in their head. The gigantic puppet was hundreds of ters tall, but its head was its weak spot. Apart from the core, it was almost completed fitted with thick tal armor. The gigantic puppet sought for release, so it determinedly swallowed the Eternal Control shard into its mind, where its soul parasite was located.
The Eternal Control shard was specialized for engulfing souls. No matter the grade of the soul, if it t one it would try engulfing it. The gigantic puppet did not have any resistance, and with a whizzing sound, the gigantic puppet was engulfed in the Eternal Control shard.
On the gigantic puppet’s shoulders, the two puppets attacked it. Suddenly, the puppet’s body shook all over, and the restraints on the gigantic puppet’s soul were forcibly removed. At the sa ti, the two puppets were severely damaged.
