Metatrin City.

Due to the assault by the Holy See’s army, Saleen’s arena could not be opened as scheduled. The residents of the city were worried, Saleen had to think of the concerns the nobles had.

Saleen also could not sail out to sea to hunt, thus, he allowed the winged skeleton to steer the pan’s turtle alchemical boat on his own to hunt for red krill in the Frozen Sea. There was no need to think about hunting the other high grade magic beasts yet. The winged skeleton was merely a grade-7 spirit, without the pan’s turtle alchemical boat, he could not even enter the Frozen Sea.

Saleen did not even send Nailisi to accompany the winged skeleton. Currently, Metatrin City was the most vital asset. If there were any losses it would be challenging for Saleen to start fresh. The invasion by Holy See was a touchstone. If Saleen managed to defend his city, then many people would flock to him in the future. If he failed, then he could only rely on his teacher to make a comeback.

If that happened, Saleen’s teacher might not even give the Sregl Island to Saleen.

The worst thing was that the Holy See’s army had affected the commercial activities in Metatrin City. Last year this time, there was an endless stream of merchant vessels at Metatrin City’s port. At the moment, there were some small ships docked to purchase magic nuclei, but there was no one peddling grain. Everyone was fearful of getting implicated in the war and losing their investments.

Saleen did not abhor the Holy See, but there was no room for compromise between him and the Holy See. He had accepted the benefits from the Goddess of Myers, he had to work for the goddess. Since Saleen had obtained the seeds of two divine trees and withered branches of the four divine trees, all these materials would be sufficient for Saleen to surpass other mages at similar grades after becoming a grade-9 sorcerer.

Exceeding the limits of grade-9 was no longer out of reach.

There was never a mage who was so certain of their own achievements so early on in life. At the moment, Saleen only needed to overcome the limits of grade-6 to become a grade-7 sorcerer, so that he could enter the Six Elements’ Space and advance successfully to a grade-9 sorcerer. After becoming a grade-9 sorcerer, the withered branches of the four divine trees would be the materials for crafting equipment, he would be able to create items as powerful as godly equipment. On the other hand, the two seeds could help him advance to a grade-10 mage.

There were not many obstacles in this journey. Right now, Saleen just needed time.

“Master, why are you frustrated? You are a mage!” At the moment, Nailisi was constantly beside Saleen, she was afraid that the Holy See might send some powerful assassins. Sika was commanding the Caucasus people to tighten security within the city, only Nailisi was not assigned with a task. Her only job was to accompany Saleen.

Nailisi was massaging Saleen’s back. On the bed, Saleen laid on his stomach, with a map of Metatrin City placed in front of him.

“Without the magical towers, our defense is flawed.” Saleen sighed. “Because I have sufficient materials, I had planned to build the magical towers a year later. Had I known, I would have built them first. As long as there are six grade-6 mages, Metatrin City’s defense could still be boosted. Now, there isn’t even one magical tower, this is really inexpedient.”

“The three kings are around. Even if they do not dare face the holy masters directly, their spirits can cause the Holy See’s expeditionary army to suffer massive losses too.”

“They are more cowardly than you think. They were asked to assist the sixth camp, but look what happened? The sixth camp lost one-thousand men and many more were wounded. They didn’t even kill a high grade holy master and fled secretly. They still told me that at least they didn’t get into trouble and the Holy See doesn’t know of their existence.”

“Since they are not obedient… how about letting me eat them. If I devour the three kings, I think I can obtain the fifth ability.” Nailisi seized the opportunity.

“Judikaka belongs to Aini. The contractual trap also isn’t as stable as you think. If I really want to kill them, the contract has to be dissolved first. By then, I won’t even be able to strike fear into them anymore.

“In that case, Master, as long you can take full control of them, does that mean I can eat those three abominable fellows?”

Saleen closed his eyes, remaining silent for a long time. The arrival of the three kings had once resolved a huge problem for him. Even though there were some conflicts in the process, Saleen still triumphed in the end.

“Can I really bear to kill the three spirit kings? As a mage, I shouldn’t have a heart of mercy. If the situation was reversed, would the three kings spare my life? No, the three kings are monarchs from the death plane. By treating them in this manner, I already have enmity with them. These are just excuses. Just because Nailisi wants their powers, I am making so many excuses so as to have peace of mind. Peace of mind? The three kings have only spent a long time with me, but Nailisi is my closest companion. By killing the three kings, Nailisi will obtain the power of a spirit. Nailisi will be able to summon spirits and control demons at the same time, she will thus be my strongest assistant! Is that wrong?”

Saleen opened his eyes, then said, “Nailisi, are you trying to harm Soldier?”

“Master, you cannot accuse me.”

“Accuse you?” Saleen did not even need to turn around to know Nailisi’s expression. Nailisi had been unable to harm the winged skeleton. In their fight, she was always on the losing end.

If she absorbed the power of the three kings, she would be mightier than the winged skeleton, she might even be able to control him.

“Master, can’t you just let me have the upper hand for once.” Nailisi laid softly on Saleen’s back, whispering into his ear, “Each time we sail, he forces me to collect this and that. Even though I am a demon, I can still get exhausted.”

“What are you doing!” Saleen could feel that Nailisi’s tail had grown out, winding around him.

“The thing you were doing with Sister Sika, can you do it with me as well?” Nailisi did not know what was happening either, she suddenly felt like hugging Saleen. After hugging him, she recalled the scene where Saleen was being intimate with Sika. Nailisi managed to take a peek at the hole in the wall the previous time. Ever since then, that scene had been etched in her heart.

She was a little jealous of Sika, but Sika was not the winged skeleton, she could do nothing to chase her out of Saleen’s heart.

If it was not for that tail Saleen might have been successfully tantalized by Nailisi. That tail caused Saleen to remember that Nailisi was a hideous demon.

As if peering into Saleen’s thoughts, Nailisi said gently, “Master, my third ability helps me transform into a true human. If you don’t like demons, I will turn into a human, okay?”

“Get lost.” Saleen admonished, but he was not angry. He recalled how Nailisi looked in the past. Back then, she had not matured. At that point in time, she laid beneath his bed, accompanying him and withstanding the pain from using the family badge.

Currently, Saleen still used the family badge to train his mental strength, he never stopped training. This pain had very much lessened, the negative effects had almost disappeared too. Nailisi’s tough days were finally over, however, Saleen could not forget those years. Nailisi was there to share his suffering, he then managed to maintain inner peace during the training process because there was a demon accompanying him, and this demon never complained once.

Nailisi could sense Saleen’s feelings, she knew that Saleen was not genuinely angry. She wanted to continue teasing Saleen, but Saleen suddenly said, “Nailisi, if you can convince Aini to hand Judikaka over, then do it. I cannot partake in this matter, otherwise the contract will be destroyed in that instant. The three of them would be able to escape back to the death dimension.”

“Master, are you for real?!”

“Mm, but, you cannot bully Soldier in the future. I have a method to make him more powerful than the spirit kings,” Saleen declared solemnly.

Nailisi felt dejected at the same time, she did not give a hoot about the kings’ abilities. It was better summoning a demon as opposed to a spirit. Once a spirit entered another plane their powers would be reduced, there were no exceptions even for powerful spirits like the three kings. Summoning demons still enabled the demons to retain their offensive powers.

She had already obtained the best coordinates to the demonic plane, there was no need for any other summoning magic to get a bunch of spirits who had neither blood nor flesh.

“Why? Are you regretting it?”

“Master, I just want to bully that skeleton once, just once!”

“Aren’t you afraid that he will take revenge?”

Nailisi was speechless, the winged skeleton was the smartest spirit she had ever come across. The three kings might have become stupid after living for such a long time, but the winged skeleton could trick Nailisi in almost every instance.

“Stop thinking about that. Let me tell you, the three kings have a very mysterious background, their bodies contain an enormous secret. If you absorb their power, you are in for a surprise. If you offend anyone, I will back you up.”

“Master, you already have Daniel, why…”

“Daniel is trustable, but, Nailisi… my life is limited, I cannot keep accompanying you. Once I die, you must be a devil. Only then can I leave in peace.”

“Master, don’t say such touching things, I cannot take it.” Nailisi hugged Saleen, gently grinding him.

“Okay, go out now and get Daniel. I want to ask him about the distribution of the military equipment.”

“I won’t go. Master, Daniel has completed this matter last week.”

“Mm, then you continue.” Saleen felt that his back was aching. Since he already possessed magic chords, he could not cultivate the Sword Aura. No matter how strong his constitution was, it would only be at the standard of a swordmaster. For this reason, Nailisi would massage Saleen every day and use the power of her devil’s body to help Saleen transform his body. She hoped that Saleen would make further progress and become a mage with a sturdy body.

“Master, killing the three kings is a more troublesome matter, I have wait until Soldier returns. You have to help me. If I am the one asking, he will take the chance to cheat.” Nailisi was fearful of the winged skeleton, so she wanted Saleen to give the orders.

“Tell him yourself, just agree to whatever requests Soldier has.”

“Master!”

“Soldier will not take your benefits for free.” Saleen smiled, “Even though the winged skeleton and Nailisi want to get into my good books, this spirit is definitely loyal towards me. At least he will not harm Nailisi. Asking him to kill the three kings is risky too. If I give the order, the winged skeleton might risk his life to help Nailisi. Nailisi knows this too. If I give the order, Nailisi might use this opportunity to harm the winged skeleton.”
