Chapter 1385: Angel of Misery (Part 1)
Teleportation used up a large number of magic nuclei . The time was short . Once Saleen returned to the temple, he made arrangements for Sika and the children to settle down . Then he brought back the Winged Skull and the two of them returned to interdimensional space .
Metatrin City was being managed by Sika, and Saleen was totally comfortable with this . He also summoned Daniel back to assist Sika . This death mage was not so enthusiastic about this assignment and regretted having to waste time on it . But if his abilities had been lacking in any way, Saleen would not have given him the job .
He was born a minor lord and had received a good education . This was the asset with which he had established his position with Saleen .
If he wanted to get something out of this relationship, he would have to pay the price . Daniel regretted that he had spent so much time thinking of ways to organize his forces . Many aristocrats in the city hoped he was still alive . Once he found out that Saleen had advanced to level-11, Daniel understood he had been mistaken about something .
The aristocrats no longer ruled this world; the mages did .
Saleen made the appropriate arrangements for Metatrin City and had not even seen the female Duke Renee before returning to the interdimensional space . Because he brought along the Winged Skull, Saleen did not need to use his death troops . The Winged Skull’s superior combat abilities offered more than enough protection .
Its body should have evolved long ago . But Saleen had purposefully not evolved this weapon . In fact, he had always restricted him .
Nailisi was on her way back after being summoned . Saleen had been delayed in the interdimensional space for less than a month, and the Holy See’s troops had not arrived yet in Nature City . Fycro had only accumulated enough energy to advance after killing two of the Lord of Glory’s oracles . This time, the Holy See’s attack was not aided by the two oracles and Saleen wasted no time worrying about them .
Saleen allowed the Winged Skull to complete its advancement quickly in the interdimensional space . At level-11, it would no longer face too many dangers . For Saleen’s future matters, those whose grades were too low could not be used and he would have to handle them personally .
While the Winged Skull was advancing, Nailisi arrived at the interdimensional space, hoping to advance here . Saleen arranged for her to take away the disciples and return them to Nature City . Only Nailisi had the ability to handle the 1,600,000 disciples .
In the blink of an eye, another month passed during which the Winged Skull and Nailisi completed their advancement . Rafel had also absorbed the power of the divine fire, completely eradicating her body of all its wounds .
Saleen brought Rafel and the Winged Skull, along with the Violet Angel, and the four of them moved to the border of the interdimensional space .
There was a volcano there, which was also where Fycro had entered . Saleen had already dispatched a large number of deadly creatures to check out the place, but none were able to return .
The interdimensional space was evolving . Though the volcano was still erupting, it no longer posed the same danger as earlier on .
When it first erupted, it swept away most of the interdimensional space .
Now, Saleen’s preparatory time was very long, one month . He had been questioning the disciples who had betrayed Fycro about their origins at this time .
Saleen knew, in general, how these people had arrived . At the border of the volcano was a place that was connected to the Myers Continent . It was an extremely stable spatial pathway that also happened to be quite wide .
The pathway had been created by Fycro’s divine spell and was not a natural object . At the other end of the spatial pathway lay the Abyss of Light, located within the Chaotic Swamp .
In the beginning, Saleen had even walked over to this abyss but had not detected any connection between the planes . Even though Fycro had placed this object in plain sight, it attracted little attention .
Saleen did not realize that Fycro was creating a lair for the sake of opposing the Holy See . He had not thought that the purpose of this abyss was to span across different planes .
Battles between the gods were often ignited by the betrayals of a traitor . If he could tempt the subordinate of an opposing god to turn traitor and get a safe coordinate point within its divine kingdom, the Lord of Glory would create an Abyss of Light to invade the divine kingdom . After a near-eternal pathway opened, the Lord of Glory’s angel troops would begin their massacre incessantly and unsparingly .
Saleen had moved too many people into the interdimensional space . For someone like Fycro, it would not be hard to infiltrate this place once he detected the presence of others . Because he was afraid of being discovered by the mages, Fycro had opened a spatial pathway at the border of the volcano . Not much attention would be placed on such a location, hence the mages had only discovered his entrance after millions of his troops had entered . By this time, Fycro could already use godly power to temporarily disrupt the coordinates of the interdimensional space . Hence, his back-up troops would not be able to arrive there .
Saleen brought three subordinates to the border of the volcano . The earth was pitch black and twisted up and down, like a solidified ocean .
This volcano had once been where the fire element created chaos in the interdimensional space . Saleen looked ahead and took off . Arriving at the crater of the volcano, he looked down and saw an intense aura inside .
Although fire-elemental spirits had been born, they had all been consumed by Fycro: For him, becoming a god came with a cost . Without an immense amount of energy for wanton use, Fycro could not possibly have advanced so swiftly .
Saleen leaped into the volcano crater and expanded his Water Shield over his body . The temperature was exceptionally high . Saleen did not see any chaotic vibrations with his Elemental Eye . This volcano would not erupt for at least a few months .
The gases below made breathing difficult . Saleen looked around him . Near the point of the eruption were crystals left behind by a fire-elemental spirit . They were of a higher grade than the ones left behind by the great fire snake .

Saleen released his lightning warriors to gather them .
They could not be wasted . To operate, all his equipment relied on huge amounts of energy . The Floating City was certainly powerful but when used in battle, the number of magic nuclei and crystals it burned up really caused one’s heart to ache .
Fortunately, the ancients’ magic power furnace could contain anything . Even if it was a lower grade magic nucleus, it could still be refined into pure energy .
Saleen returned to the ground’s surface and began looking around the border of the volcano . Fycro had not concealed any clues; very quickly Saleen arrived at a fault in the rocks . When looking across this at ground level, there was nothing in front at all; however, when looking down from a high altitude, steps at the crack in the earth that led deep underground were visible .
The width of these steps reached about 500 meters and could accommodate a thousand people moving forward . The steps were pitch black . The smoke below was thick, yet the temperature was not as high as in the volcano crater .
“Let’s go . ” Saleen pointed at the huge steps .
“Master . ” Rafel took a step forward and allowed Saleen to walk behind her .
Saleen smiled . It seemed that Rafel had finally put aside her matters of the heart for the time being and no longer talked about leaving . With Rafel taking the lead, the Violet Angel and Winged Skull were also relaxed . They stood on each side of Saleen and followed the huge steps to walk underground .
Saleen had added a Water Shield to each person to support them . Rafel simply smiled at such magic spells .
To her, a level-10 Water Shield was fragile . This was already a very high evaluation . A level-10 skill, in the eyes of a person with level-13 strength, would typically only be able to receive a poor evaluation .
The Winged Skull released two balls of jade-green flames to shine above everybody’s head . Once they were released, the nearby soot was forced aside by the Power of the Dead . Their line of sight became much clearer .
The steps were wide but not very steep . It was possible to ride a horse and gallop down them . t .
Rafel picked up speed and sprinted toward the bottom of the steps . Saleen and the others naturally kept up with her . Gradually, only the jade-green flames released by the Winged Skull were illuminating their path . All outside sources of light had vanished .

Saleen retrieved a piece of seabed jade, a precious stone of a slightly lower grade than chlorite . This meant it contained godly power .
Stored within this seabed jade was the Lord of Glory’s godly power . Saleen had conquered millions of armies and had acquired many of such stores of godly power .
Godly power of light was released . The steps immediately flashed a few times and released a gentle radiance .
The godly power was absorbed by the steps . Then, Saleen saw a path that was 50 kilometers long .
The end of the path was still thick with smoke .
Rafel’s began running faster . The Violet Angel and Winged Skull had no choice but to spread their wings and fly in order to keep up . Saleen used the earth’s power to follow behind them at a comfortable pace . He still had some excess power .
They sprinted for about 100 kilometers . Suddenly a spear appeared in Rafel’s hands and was flung into the smoke .
A low, muffled cry of pain sounded . Saleen retrieved his clan badge and was prepared to deal with the unknown enemy .
Rafel retrieved her spear . A monster that was not even one meter tall was skewered onto the spear . With its feathered wings, it looked like an angel; however, the little monster’s wings were tattered and multicolored instead of one pure color .
The little creature even brandished a sharp fork in its hands . Rafel’s shook her spear and tossed it in front of Saleen .
Howl!
A large monster about ten meters tall came rushing out from the smoke . Saleen saw it with his eyes and felt it was like a mountain troll that had shrunk in water . There were relatively more types of magic beasts in the Chaotic Swamp . The monsters that suddenly appeared in the smoke all looked malnourished .
The lighting warriors flew out from Saleen’s magic amplifier and charged at the monsters that kept increasing in number . Rafel did not slow down: She killed everything in her path as she moved and advanced about five kilometers . A blinding light suddenly appeared, and the steps beneath their feet could no longer be seen .

Within the light, there was a great number of angels…
Not angels, but demi-angels . Fycro had not completed the production of these combat weapons . He used the creatures within the Chaotic Swamp to create them but had not used godly power to create them from scratch .
Demi-angels were a miserable lot . They had a lower position than angels and served as cannon fodder .
On seeing Saleen and his party, these demi-angels that had lost their god rushed up one by one . Saleen sighed and emitted his Lightning Constellation, releasing all the lightning warriors to meet these demi-angels head-on .
Rafel and the others stopped and watched the demi-angels perish like moths attracted to a flame as they entered the Lightning Territory . Zap! The lightning warriors killed every last one .
The combat ability of the demi-angels was simply too weak . Without a god, their level was not even as good as it had been in their previous lives .
After some of the level-8 and level-9 magic beasts in the Chaotic Swamp had been manufactured into demi-angels, their power had decreased continuously . They were probably only at level-5 or level-6 strength . They needed to gain Fycro’s godly power, after which would they be able to explosively release power surpassing that of level-9 .
Currently, these demi-angels didn’t have anything and were all in a tragic state . Before Saleen and his party arrived, the demi-angels had already begun killing each other off .
After Saleen released his Power of the Soul outside, he looked around . He discovered in this abyss enveloped in light that the number of demi-angels numbered 30,000 .
Weren’t there only so many magic beasts that could be used in the Chaotic Swamp? Fycro had probably brought all the decent magic beasts to manufacture his demi-angels . The Chaotic Swamp would probably no longer be as dangerous as it once was .
