The assassin’s attack startled Saleen, as the timing of the attack was completely off. However, the long sword seemed to warp through space and pierce its target two meters away. The spot that should not have been reached by the sword aura was now drenched in blood.
Blood spilled from the neck of the believer riding the white deer.
The blood was red and Saleen finally found something comfortable to look at in that place. If even their blood was white, then the workings of energies in them was different from humans.
Red blood was capable of disintegrating wind element. Humans and most living beings got their life force from it.
The blood on the assassin’s tunic was completely absorbed. The black tunic had magic runes and patterns on it, absorbing the blood completely. Saleen felt that the tunic even absorbed the smell of blood, keeping anything from leaking.
There were 101 spectral servants serving Agares and all of them were high level assassins. The strike was clean. The assassin retreated back to the star figure’s shadow after killing the enemy.
However, they were in a divine kingdom. A dead believer would trigger the senses of thousands around them, and many rushed at the river. Saleen had been choosing places with very few believers, but they were quickly surrounded by up to 10000 beings.
101 star figures surrounded Saleen. Saleen and Truman cast magic spells calmly, and Saleen lectured Truman while he fought. Isabella hardly attacked, simply following behind Saleen, holding a wooden sword.
The wooden sword was given to her by Saleen and enabled her to easily burst sword aura, but was able to serve as a magic staff.
Isabella listened to Saleen lecture about magic combat and did not attack. Eleanor used conventional magic arrows, shooting at faraway beings slowly, preventing them from being surrounded by too many powerful beings.
The female assassin by Agares’ side disappeared and retreated back into his shadow.
It seemed to be rolling terrain, as the plane consisted of peaks of hundreds of meters tall. All kinds of beings rushed at them from between the low peaks.
Saleen was exasperated and took out the Magical Element Tower. Huge metal gears emerged from tip of the tower, forming a magic net.
The demonic spirits cast spells again, but 600 attacked at the same time.
“Puny beings. Why have you invaded the divine kingdom of the lord!?” A booming voice was heard in the hills. Saleen saw a dragon’s head lift up, blood-red eyes glowing.
“Divine kingdom of the lord?” Saleen laughed. “You’re a dragon, no? How did you come to believe in the Lord of Glory? Isn’t this place conquered? What happened to your original master? Did they get killed? Did you choose to betray your previous god out of fear?”
Saleen saw blood rush to the dragon’s head, but the power was dispersed. The dragon’s original level had probably been above level 13, but it was not even level 12.
“I would have fallen without the lord’s guidance. Are you human?” The dragon was able to understand Saleen’s words, but it was talking in magic tongue.
The Myers language was no longer the lingua franca of the planes. However, many beings were still able to master the magic tongue.
“Come out and I’ll show you what it means to fall.”
“Saleen, why do you want to piss it off!?” Agares was irritated.
“I need a dragon to make a bow for my archer,” Saleen said it deliberately in magic tongue. The dragon was angered and leapt out from the hills. Saleen realised that the dragon’s proportions were off. It had a small head while the body was hundreds of meters long.
One of its huge claws held a round ball, which seemed to be rusted but undoubtedly metallic. The dragon threw the ball at Saleen.
The ball was about 13 meters across. If it were landed, it would take a full-power level 11 Water Shield to resist.
The huge round ball was like a shooting star. Saleen did not resist or evade. He simply had Nailisi open up the 12 Notes of First Purgatory and sent the ball into the purgatory of the fallen, chained by the 24 chains of the Shackles of the Fallen within.
“Thank you. Good stuff you’ve got there. It’s no wonder why people like dragons so much. You make a great host,” Saleen continued to provoke the huge creature.
Dragons had nasty tempers. However, under usual circumstances, people could do anything to provoke a dragon, and it would not bother with them. Dragons saw most beings as beneath them and not worth noticing.
It was like how ancient humans were powerful and imposing. If an ant bared its teeth, they would not even bother to extend a finger to squish it.

After provoking the dragon, the huge creature was finally unable to take it. Rainbow colors shot from the surface of its body, bringing a bit of liveliness to the snow-white divine kingdom.
With the burst of colors, the dragon took to the air. Saleen caught sight of a white chain on its tail, attaching it to the hills. As it took flight, a hill was yanked out of the ground.
The dragon’s rear end happened to be a weak spot. The yank caused the dragon to let out an earth-shattering howl.
Saleen burst out with his Thundering voice to protect everyone around him. The ripples of sound waves negated the force of the dragon’s might.
Agares was totally taken aback. If Saleen used that skill against him, he would probably be stunned out of his hidden status. The Thundering voice could be endured but not resisted.
Agares had been lurking specifically in the wilderness during thunderstorms during his training, waiting for the lightning and thunder to strike.
The shock of the Thundering voice was capable of causing a person’s mental state and soul to collapse. Agares had only been able to get used to thunder in nature, but he had no way of breaking it.
While Saleen’s Thundering voice did not have the power of nature, it was designed for combat, resulting in very high offensive capacity in the sound waves produced.
Thunder in nature did not have specific targets.
Nailisi’s double in the purgatory of the fallen had chained up the rusty metal ball with 24 of the Shackles of the Fallen chains. The rust peeled off layer by layer, revealing a shimmering translucent object underneath it.
It was not actually in a nice sphere, but looked like an asteroid that had been pummeled countless times, resulting in it looking patchy. The object was only revealed after the chains peeled off the outer layer of metal.
Golden light shot out, and Nailisi’s double shrieked in pain. Half of its body was melted. However, the chains wrapped the object tightly, preventing any light from escaping.
The golden translucent object was soft, with a texture like fat, but resembled liquid metal at the same time.
Nailisi was totally unharmed, but it irritated her to find her double injured. She quickly found the object was devoid of any soul and had no life force, making its origins unclear.
The object had a diameter of 12 meters, and the power imbued in it could easily tear the purgatory of the fallen apart.
If it had not been for the Shackles of the Fallen being exceptionally high quality, the throw from the dragon could have easily killed everyone present.
“Master, we need to kill this thing,” Nailisi spoke to Saleen through soul communication. The dragon had been chained in the mountains and it definitely was due to it protecting something.
The ball was little more than something the dragon threw in a whim, but the energy was massive.
“Understood. Get back to the tower and command the demonic spirits!” Saleen put up a Water Shield, wrapping Nailisi in it and sending her back to the tower.
There was still a 600 meter tall hill strapped to the long chain below the dragon’s tail. The dragon was in such pain that tears were seen in its eyes. However, it continued to drag the small mountain, dropping it onto Saleen and the others when it flew by.
The tower was crushed by the small mountain and half of it sank into the ground. There were no signs of damage on the tower’s walls. Level 18 elementite could not be broken using physical attacks.
However, the dragon continued to endure the pain, picking up and dropping the mountain, burying the entire tower in the ground.
Saleen lost support from the tower. The ground of the divine kingdom was totally different from conventional planes, as it was imbued with the divine powers of the Lord of Glory.
Saleen zipped by using the movement skill he learned from Jalin, arriving about a mile away. He did not use the Crystal Finger attack, so the cost was not huge. However, his Water Shield elongated as it pulled Eleanor, Truman, and Isabella—his remaining followers—away as well.
Agares was nowhere to be found. He used some unknown method to latch onto the mountain and climb all the way to the dragon’s body along the chain. Agares looked like a gust of wind, only a mass of energy.
The star figures dug down until they reached tens of meters below ground. Saleen originally thought the figure’s digging skills were useless as it would not enable them to go far. However, the skill saved the figures and the assassins hiding within their shadows.
Seeing how its three previous attacks were utterly useless, the dragon opened its mouth and prepared to launch a dragon’s breath. Nailisi’s dragon’s breath was incredibly powerful. The one that they were facing now was a true dragon.
If the dragon’s breath hit, Saleen’s Water Shield would not be able to stand against it.
Dragons were tough beings to deal with. The dragon had been giving Saleen a hard time before even using dragon tongue magic.
