It was lucky for them that the dragon was chained, reducing its maneuverability. When Saleen saw that the dragon turned around and was about to use dragon’s breath on him, he shot a lightning icicle at it.
At the same time, he cast Thundering Phantasm. Twelve Saleens appeared around the dragon. Six of them were illusions created by Saleen’s magic while the other six were Thundering Phantasm, having negligible offensive capacity.
The dragon never expected humans to possess such eerie skills. It immediately used mental powers to determine which of them were illusions and which was Saleen’s true body.
The dragon’s mental powers dashed by six Thundering Phantasms and loud thunder rumbled in every corner of its body.
The dragon dropped to the ground with a whimper. Its soul had already been severely damaged by the Lord of Glory, and it had dropped by two levels. Saleen’s Thundering Phantasm burst at the same time, one-upping the dragon.
The dragon was not able to use dragon’s breath after its soul was severely damaged again. Dragon tongue magic was totally out of the question.
Saleen shot an icicle from the Thunder Dragon Blaster at the wound that was connected to the chain.
The dragon flinched, and its entire tail was frozen. High temperature lightning burst, and the dragon’s bone actually snapped.
Dragon bones were one of the hardest materials in existence that still possessed exceptional flexibility. Otherwise, they would not be so strong.Any living being of exceptional strength had bones made of the toughest materials, which alchemists loved the most.
The dragon’s tail was frighteningly thick. It would not be able to lift a 600 meter tall hill up otherwise. However, under the lightning icicle’s attack, the tail was no longer able to sustain the weight of the hill and snapped, sending the hill crashing into the ground.
Agares escaped somewhere near the dragon. He held a black dagger, which he threw hard and hit the gap between the dragon’s scales.
The rainbow-like colored light around the dragon’s body disappeared. The dragon then began to twitch all over. The pain-inducing pharmaceutical worked.
Its damaged soul was unable to take the pain, and Saleen was able to hear the dragon’s wail from the depths of its soul.
A level ten mage joined with a level ten assassin to assault a level 11 dragon, which perished with the help of equipment.
Agares leapt onto the dragon and extended his hand, retrieving the dagger. Saleen stayed on the ground and put the 200 meter dragon tail into his Starline Ring.
With the dragon on the ground, Saleen and Agares worked together to dismantle it. The 101 star figures below ground also dug their way up to help Saleen.
The assassins did not help at all. Agares knew that Saleen had an astonishing number of figures. If he called for help from the assassins, Saleen would simply summon even more figures.
It was more prudent for him to hold back for now, as Saleen would be more courteous as well.
Seeing how Agares did not ask anything for help, and he was the only one carving materials from the dragon, Saleen refrained from using the Puppet Constellation. Otherwise, there would be thousands of puppets tearing the dragon apart, and Agares would get even less from the dead dragon.
Agares knew his boundaries, and Saleen had no intention of wasting time. He only took what he wanted the most. The chain that locked the dragon up was incredibly resilient.
While dragon’s fangs were capable of cutting most materials, the chain’s quality was spoken for by the fact that the dragon had been unable to get itself free.
The Winged Skull’s second weapon was a flail. The reason Saleen had been unable to craft one for the Winged Skull was because the chain needed was difficult to come by.
If he had not traded the Lance of Order away because he needed the Signet of Silence, Saleen would have destroyed it to craft a weapon for the Winged Skull. He had now finally come across the ideal material to do so.
Agares’ target was the dragon’s fang and claws. An assassin’s weapon needed to be forged repeatedly. Only materials of such quality would be able to keep up with an assassin of Agares’ level.
The dragon’s scales beneath the abdomen were ideal materials for crafting soft armor for assassins. Saleen was after the sinew and blood. The hardest scales on the back of the dragon would serve well for crafting heavy armor.
The star figures worked with them and dismantled the dragon in no time.
The power of magic scrolls crafted using blood from a level 13 dragon would be several times more potent. Agares knew that dragon blood was precious, but he did not have the equipment to carry it.
Even if he got any, the quality of the dragon blood would gradually degrade. It would be better to just let Saleen have it, earning himself a favor.
The two men had an unspoken consensus and only took what they needed. Saleen was wary of Agares’ dagger. Dragons were known for their resilience and ample life force, and it was unable to endure Agares’ pain-inducing pharmaceuticals.
While Saleen had severely damaged the dragon’s soul before Agares hit it, the power of the pharmaceuticals was very frightening. It would be fatal to just have one’s skin pricked by Agares.
Nailisi hid on the 17th floor of the Magical Element Tower.
The controls to the tower were on 16th to 18th floor and deemed off-limits to outsiders. Nailisi began managing her collection of purgatories.
She had finished patching up her double. Being so severely damaged, her double was unable to help Nailisi manage the golden translucent object, so Nailisi had to do it herself. She opened up a crack between the chains, scooping up some materials and dropping it into her own equipment.
The blob of matter was not all that offensive, so it was quite a pity that Nailisi’s double suffered that much damage. When the Shackles of the Fallen tied the matter up, it emitted massive amounts of energy without any intention of attacking Nailisi’s double.
Nailisi broke the matter carefully and fused whatever she scooped up into the collection of purgatories.
She began with the purgatory of the fallen. The purgatory had been 36 miles in length, width, and height, but began to quickly expand.
The beings within the purgatory, however, were all killed by the golden light, and Nailisi was unable to do anything about it.
Nailisi’s double tried to absorb some of the matter to fix her own damaged body.
30 miles, 50 miles, 80 miles, 100 miles!
The purgatory of the fallen did not stop expanding even after reaching 360 miles in all dimensions. Nailisi forcefully took control of the space’s expansion rate, and it finally stopped at 1200 miles.
Nailisi felt she was unable to control such a huge space and quickly sent the mysterious matter into other spaces.
The devils from the purgatory of the devils were all transferred to the purgatory of the fallen, while the purgatory of the devils expanded. Nailisi felt that her mental powers grew in accordance. Less than one percent of the matter had been used, but the effect was astonishing.
Nailisi began to fill the spaces in the purgatories with the mysterious matter and expand them. All 12 spaces were expanded to 1200 miles.
The only flaw was that the matter did not possess life or creativity. It even killed the fallen creatures in the purgatory of the fallen. While Nailisi’s double had become powerful, her restorative abilities were considerably weakened without the believers.
Nailisi had an idea and took out a scroll. It was the Six Element’s Heavy Water that she took from Saleen.
Nailisi released some of the golden matter and fused it with the heavy water. The matter began to change. Nailisi was wary of being attacked by the golden matter, so she kept electricity running all over her to protect her.
The matter with Six Element’s Heavy Water began to disintegrate into minute granules, dropping onto the ground.
Nailisi took control of her double to unleash some power of faith. The golden drops began to gather the shards of souls in the space. New life was then born in the purgatory.
None of the life forms had complete souls, but their life force was strong.
The creatures looked more or less the same, like the one that resembled a fish but possessed arms and head of a human. Its scales shone with a golden sheen.
The mermaids worshiped Nailisi’s double as soon as they were born. They were created from Nailisi’s double and given their broken souls. They were unable to remember who they once were.
Nailisi was very pleased. The blob of matter and the Six Element’s Heavy Water quickly reached over 100,000. The mermaids did not need water as they were capable of swimming in air. They worshipped Nailisi’s double like a mother goddess.
The purgatory of the fallen’s rules were completed in no time. Any believers who entered would have their connection with their gods severed. All power of faith would become the power of purgatory and provided to Nailisi’s double.
Nailisi’s double stood on the hovering altar. The 24 chains of the Shackles of the Fallen reached over 1,000 miles long, enabling them to attack any corner. Nailisi felt that the chains had yet to be fully extended.
The Goddess of Myers had probably crafted the equipment from the body of a god. If the equipment were restored to its original form, it would probably be of the size of a divine kingdom.
Creatures from the purgatory of the devils, the purgatory of purification, and the purgatory of elements were transferred before the expansions took place. Nailisi attempted blend the golden matter using the heavy water and distributed it to the beings in the spaces.
Over 10,000 demons in the purgatory of the devils absorbed the diluted matter. Their ugly scales began to change, turning pale gold with demon magic patterns covering them. There was also a tinge of green in them.
The imps and demonic spirits gained a lot. Nailisi took all 3,600 of the enchanters from the tower and threw them into the purgatory of the devils and enhanced.
Nailisi had no idea that the golden matter was created from gods killed by the Lord of Glory.
The Genesis Stock Solution.
Her level was too low and if she had not been using it together with the Six Elements’ Heavy Water, there would have been no way she would have been able to use the stock solution. Nailisi only used the fluid to expand the spaces on a hunch, but the results far exceeded the designs of that fallen god.
All spaces in her collection of purgatories had been expanded to 1200 miles, and the Genesis Stock Solution began to create lifeforms that fit the rules.
