Chapter 893

The passing of time was something that all living creatures had to face . Eleanor's life arrow, which was able to reduce one's lifespan, was basically time technique as well .
There was nothing Saleen could do about the fact that time passed at a different rate in the Imperial City the of Abyss compared to the outside world .
The vermillion knights reached the divine tree magic tower very quickly . All of them stopped and waited for orders from their leader .
The leader raised his head and looked at the magic tower . By nature, vermillion knights detested anything related to Gods . He was a soldier that had pledged his loyalty to humans and he had joined the army at a time when humans were trying to conquer Gods . Gods would always be the enemy .
Saleen saw that the vermillion knight's eyes were purple . They were formed by fire elements coming together . Purple flames were rarely seen and were of rather high temperature . They were very stable and displayed no signs of aggression commonly associated with the fire element .
The leader was also an elemental creature that possessed a soul .
"Human in the magic tower, are you the one who has subdued the soldiers that were nearby?" What the vermillion knight asked took Saleen by surprise . The knight's soul had already matured, so it would be more difficult dealing with him compared to the elemental stone statue soldiers and the blue ice maidens .
"Yes . Vinny and Gloria are now my soldiers . " Saleen used the sound transmission magic array in the magic tower . There was no way the vermillion knight would possess the same technique as the Angel of Fear anyway .
"I came over to take a look because I sensed the presence of the pests . Although there are no longer any humans here, the pests should not be allowed to roam around . I… want to know, did you kill all the pests yourself?" The vermillion knight puffed out his chest and his long halberd was lowered . Even his towering physique seemed miniature when standing in front of the magic tower .
"Yes . I have killed two Angels of Fear as well . " Saleen caressed the clan badge in his hand . When the badge was extracted from the Angel of Fear's body, some of her strange internal organs were shriveled . Who knew what the badge actually absorbed? In any case, Saleen could sense that the power within the badge was ready to be unleashed again .
Saleen felt very calm with the badge in his hands . No one had heard of any equipment on the Myers Mainland that was capable of killing a grade-12 creature instantaneously .

"I don't believe you, unless you come out and defeat me . " The vermillion knight pointed his long halberd at the top level of the magic tower, that Saleen was in .
"I am a mage . Of course, I must choose to fight in the magic tower . You are an elemental creature . It is no use plotting against me . If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the crystal tower . There is a hole on the third level which was caused by my equipment . Or else, you can head out to 20 miles away . I killed an Angel of Fear there, but of course, there is nothing much left of him for you to see . "
The vermillion knight was speechless . Of course, he did not proceed to check on the places that Saleen mentioned . Instead, he continued, "I can become a soldier for a human, but the human must be stronger than me . "
"So, equipment cannot be included?"
"No . You are only powerful if you don't rely on equipment . "
"Then, do you think the Angel of Fear is powerful?"
"Yes . I am no match for the Angel of Fear . "
"I have killed both of them . I am using one of their skins to refine an equipment . If your idea of being 'powerful' is to eventually end up as an equipment for others, then I don't need you at all . Based on your speed, there is no way you can escape a single hit from my most powerful equipment . You either submit to me, or I will kill you . "
"You have the heart of a powerful person, but I find it hard to believe that your equipment is still able to carry out attacks . " With that, the vermillion knight pointed his long halberd at the ground .
"The only way to prove it is for me to kill you, but I really need you . "
"It is not that I am unwilling to submit to you, but this equipment of yours is from the Gods and they are our enemies . " Of course, the vermillion knight was not willing to risk being attacked by the same equipment that wiped out the Angels of Fear . The human claimed to have killed an Angel of Fear from 20 miles away . There was no way the vermillion knight would be able to escape such an attack, based on their speed .

"This is a problem . My name is Saleen Metatrin . I am a small king . May I know what your name is?" Saleen could see that the vermillion knight was more intelligent than Gloria and tried to engage in a conversation with him . Saleen could not bear using the badge to kill him because he did not want to waste a single attack of the badge .
"I am Flare . I don't have a surname . "
"Alright, Flare . Now, I have two elemental badges, one is ground element and the other is water element . In this environment, your powers are suppressed . Even if I don't use powerful equipment, you are still no match for me . Although this magic tower's history is connected to Gods, there are no longer any more Gods on the Myers Mainland . "
"There are no more Gods?"
"Yes . Only the Lord of Glory is trying to recruit disciples and spread his faith, but none of his clones have been able to descend . "
"Why do you want me to submit to you?" The vermillion knight suddenly asked a strange question .
Saleen thought for a while and said, "The powers on the Myers Mainland, which may be known as the main dimension to you, have fallen quite a number of grades over the years . An elemental creature of your grade is already the most powerful on the Mainland . If you are willing to help me, I will be able to destroy the Lord of Glory's religion on the Mainland . This is very important to me . "
"You are a disciple?"
"No, I don't believe in any Gods . "
"Alright . I will head out 20 miles to verify what you have claimed . If it is true, I am willing to follow you and become your warrior . " Flare turned around and was about to leave .
"No need . You can take a look from here . " With that, Saleen showed a magic image as he began to hit on the War Drum of Fear in the magic tower .
The vermillion knight could see a human mage hitting a war drum with a bone mace . There was a frightening-looking face on the war drum .

Dong… dong dong…
As Saleen slowly hit on the War Drum of Fear, the vermillion knight's body trembled . It shook for a while before he steadied himself . Saleen sighed . That was something that he had broken down himself . There were still tens of thousands of pests in there . The linked soul of the Angel of Fear was simply too weak, so it was already quite incredible that it could affect a grade-10 creature .
"What is that?!" The vermillion knight turned back and realized that none of his knights were affected . The grade-9 vermillion knights continued sitting on their flaming warhorses, with cool expressions on their faces .
"This is a War Drum of Fear made from the skin that I have peeled off the Angel of Fear . It possesses powerful attacking abilities against creatures that possessed souls," Saleen shared .
"So, this was what you used to subdue the pests!" The vermillion knight was sharper than Gloria as he was able to connect the dots immediately . He could not take it lying down that he did not manage to see Saleen's powers . He was an elemental creature with a soul and was unlike the grade-9 vermillion knights that did not possess a strong sense of self-awareness .
"Don't feel that way . I still have the Angel of Fear's soul with me . You possess a soul too . Do you understand what I am saying?"
It was clear what Saleen was trying to say . He possessed two elemental badges, so trapping Flare would not be a problem . After capturing Flare, he would be able to control his soul . By then, Flare's status would drop significantly because he did not submit to Saleen voluntarily .
Saleen was very keen to subdue an intelligent elemental creature like that . The vermillion knight would definitely know more than Gloria, especially about the Imperial City of the Abyss and how quickly time passed there .
"You should not threaten me like that . " The vermillion knight was unhappy after hearing what Saleen said . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
"I don't have time . "
"Time?"
"Yes, the time here passes at a different rate compared to the outside world . I don't know which side is faster . The magic equipment I have that is supposed to help me tell time is also spoiled . I cannot take the risk and stay here for too long . There are too many things out there that I need to settle . "
"Hehe, the passing of time in the Imperial City of the Abyss is not fixed, but compared to the outside world, some places here could be 10 times slower . Otherwise, there is no way elemental creatures like us could survive . Our lifespans are limited too . "
"How do I know if I can trust you?"
"This is only the exterior of the Imperial City of the Abyss . You can go outside and take a look . "
"There is nothing outside that I can take reference from . "
Saleen's reply left the Flare stumped . Saleen was right . His magic equipment for telling time had spoiled . He would have no idea what day it was even if he went out .
"I really have no time . Flare, make your decision now . " Saleen was no longer interested in dragging on the conversation . He summoned Vinny and Gloria, who led their troops out of the divine tree magic tower .
"Wait!" The vermillion knight shouted .
"Speak!" Saleen's tone was cold . He would not be able to tell if the vermillion knight was speaking the truth, unless he inserted a shard of Eternal Control into his soul .
"I want to see what unique techniques you have invented on your own . If it impresses me, I will submit to you . If your technique is mediocre and ordinary, I'd rather die than to follow a piece of trash . No matter how powerful your equipment may be, you will never truly become strong!"
"Alright!" Saleen threw a shard of Eternal Control out of the magic tower, which Flare caught . The shard of Eternal Control was still cold in his hands, seemingly unaffected by his grade-10 flame .
"If my technique impresses you, then insert this shard of Eternal Control into your head on your own . If you feel that I don't deserve to become your Master, then I will kill you and respect your decision by not torturing your soul . "
"So be it . Let me see what impressive techniques a little mage like you can have," the vermillion knight answered fearlessly . Although he would fear death once he possessed a soul, he was not willing to be scared off by a mage . Clearly, the mage was not as powerful as he was . If not for the fact that Saleen had killed the Angels of Fear, Flare would not have bothered to talk to him in the first place .
