Chapter 473: The Birth of an Artifact (Part I)

【2nd Update】

Saleen and Rex study their next steps and decide not to take Phoenix, but to attack Skocchia directly. When the Holy See's army entered Phoenix, and Qin was unable to support the Empire, the Kingdom of Metatrin would take action again.

Inside Lone Star City, the soldiers were smiling, and the army outside the city was finally repulsed, with the understanding of the soldiers, the millions of troops were defeated, and in the short term, Lone Star City would no longer be a threat.

The happiest men in the city were Neris, Nicholas, and Ani, and the three men who had the greatest advantage on the battlefield, and Saleen left no prisoners, and nearly a third of the more than 900,000 troops were killed, a terrifying 260,000. Ten hours of rushing and killing is equivalent to killing more than 20,000 people every hour.

In Nicholas's Scarlet Soul Tower, the number of souls reached 180,000. The souls of the new income, each several times more powerful than the original, are not souls that have been drained of power, but heroic spirits who have died in battle.

With so many souls, Nicholas grew in strength and slowly regained his lifespan. The advancement was expected, which made Nicholas feel much better.

Nellis and Ani also collected close to 100,000 souls each, and the two of them have their own usefulness to souls, and through this cooperation, Ani's attitude towards Neris has also changed greatly. Neris is not the kind of person who eats alone, there are benefits, and they can still be shared.

Aini didn't expect that if Nellis ate alone, she would have to bear any risks herself.

Naris collects souls for future use, so she stores them and does not refine them, let alone erase the memories of these souls. These souls entered Neris's blood-colored soul tower, and they felt like they had arrived in a strange world, and it was dark and terrifying.

But these souls did not feel pain, and after a long time, they were only considered to have entered the legendary purgatory.

Aini collects souls, but he is very bold, and after he leaves his soul imprint in the Scarlet Soul Tower, these souls are erased from his memory, and he worships him as a god.

Aini is not a sorcerer, and he is not unfamiliar with the power of faith, but began to use the means of a necromancer to send soul energy into the Scarlet Soul Tower. This soul energy was accumulated by Aini with great pain, and Saleen came this time and gave him some as well. After Aini sent soul energy into the Scarlet Soul Tower, he began to transform these souls one by one.

After these souls lost their memories, they were naturally at the mercy of Aini, and each soul had an extra layer of armor on their bodies. This is the first step in alchemy. Ordinary necromancers don't like to practice this method, and even if they do, they only raise a few hundred souls to command the undead army.

Aini created more than 80,000 Heroic Spirits in one fell swoop, and all of them regarded him as a god, and his command did not consume the spiritual power of the gods. Aini was overjoyed, this blood-colored soul tower was also a rare piece of equipment in the demon plane, and even the demon god was difficult to possess.

It's just that 80,000 Heroic Spirits can't be commanded in a unified manner, so Aini only needs to cultivate thirty-six first, put them in a separate layer, and nourish them with some more soul energy. In the end, he will cultivate intelligent beings, such as undead, but they are not, but they have no flesh and blood, and can only use the equipment refined by Aini.

The garrison in the city now numbered nearly 500,000, or almost 600,000 with the addition of craftsmen and coolies. Saleen sent metal flying machines as scouts to search for the Inquisition's troops, and on the other hand, he sent craftsmen and coolies to the castle two hundred miles to the north to expand the defensive circle.

Aini's undead loss is not small, but he has summoned more than the limit of being able to control the undead, and he has summoned the undead one after another every day, and now the number of undead armies can still be maintained at more than 600,000.

Salin knew that there would not be so many troops stationed in the city, so he divided his troops and went to the castle in the north to prepare. The distance of two hundred miles, for the cavalry of Metatrin City, would definitely arrive in three hours.

Shaman was idle, and was annoyed that Saleen had taken her out and left it alone. It's just that the people around Salin are very weird, and she can't afford to provoke them, so she simply came to Neris to complain while she had nothing to do.

Sharman knows that Nellis is Sarin's cronies, and if she can win over Naris, is she afraid that Saleen won't let her lead the troops?

Neris has been in Aini's magic tower recently, and Sharman awkwardly bypasses a few bone demons, holding her breath, before going up to the magic tower.

"It's Shaman, what's the matter?" Ani asked with a smile when she saw Shaman.

"Brother Aini, I'm looking for Neris. Sharman searched left and right, but didn't see any sign of Nellis. This is already the highest level of the Magic Tower, where is Naris hiding?

"Nellis is here, if you have anything to say, tell me. ”

Sharman pursed his lips, and then remembered that although Aini was a necromancer, he was also one of the dukes of the kingdom, and his status was no lower than that of his sister. Besides, Aini and Salin have a better relationship, and with him, it's indeed okay.

It's not that Neris isn't in the magic tower, but that Shaman can't see it. Neris was angry at this time in her Twelve movements of Purgatory. This Twelve Movements of Purgatory, in the last battle, Neris collected a large amount of elemental power, originally thought that she could expand a little space, but when she entered this time, she found that not only did the space not expand, but the elemental power she absorbed disappeared.

All that was left was the space where Elenor had been hiding, and there were some dead plants floating in it.

Now his own 12 movements of Purgatory have no ability to repair automatically, and the master has solved all the troubles inside, but the rules of the Gathering Star Needle are strong, even if Salin does not master any of the power in them, he still destroys most of the functions of the 12 movements of Purgatory, and it cannot be repaired.

Nellis wanted to cry without tears, the twelve separate spaces in it, each only a dozen cubic meters, the small one is pitiful, can it be used as space equipment in the future? Even if it can pretend to be a living person, it is meaningless! If it weren't for Elena's elven magic, temporarily cultivating some plants to provide breathing air, Elena, the great magician, would have been suffocated to death.

Is this equipment useless? Neris desperately banged on the edge of the space, but she couldn't send out any strength, the space of the twelve movements of purgatory changed a lot, and Neris's fist smashed up, and she could only feel that she had smashed into a void, where there was no force.

After a long period of decadence, Nellis gritted her teeth and took out the Scarlet Soul Tower, which she secretly refined, and of course it was also the material that was withheld from Saleen's hands. Originally, the blood-colored soul tower she refined, two were given to the Winged Skull, one was given to Nicholas, and the last one was given to Aini, and the quality was the best that she secretly hid herself.

The more than 80,000 heroic souls in this blood-colored soul tower have not yet erased their memories, Nellis was ruthless, pinched and exploded the blood-colored soul tower in her hand, tens of thousands of souls floated out, the material of the blood-colored soul tower was absorbed by this space, and hundreds of thousands of demonic words suddenly floated around, and the entire space began to swell.

Nelly did not hesitate to incarnate as a demon god, cutting her chest with sharp nails, the demon god's heart was pierced by Neris, purple-black blood flew out, sprayed in the space, and tens of thousands of heroic spirits howled, surrounding Neris, absorbing the blood of the demon god.

In Nellis's wounds, the demon god's blood became more and more urgent, and in less than a minute, Neris had already wilted to the ground, and those heroic spirits were contaminated with a trace of the demon god's blood, turning into demon runes one by one, flying into the void of space. At this time, the earth and sky began to condense in the expanded space.

Naris lay heavily on the ground, and did not recover her body, but rested in the form of a demon god. She was going to watch the space take shape.

The Twelve Movements of Purgatory are ruined, and Neris is determined to recreate it herself. Originally, this equipment was only a level 10 thing, and it was badly damaged, and in the process of continuous repair, Neris understood many principles of the twelve movements of purgatory. Now the material level of this thing is too high, and the original refining method is completely invalid, and Neris wants to refine her own purgatory.

The first space - Demon God Purgatory.

Those heroic spirits are contaminated with the blood of the demon god, and sooner or later they will become the incarnation of the demon god, of course, the highest level of these demon god incarnations will never exceed level ten, and Neris doesn't care, anyway, in the future, in this space, she can invest more heroic spirits. The Scarlet Soul Tower was destroyed, but the Demon God Purgatory expanded, and from then on, he had one more equipment to transport the demon army.

Thinking of this, Neris burst out laughing.

From now on, this place can be used to raise demon insects, transport demons, and after mastering the supreme rules of demons, this place can even open up a larger space to form a demon half-plane.

Who said this was delusional? When one's eight abilities are combined, this is something that transcends the artifact. Even Rex's Ring of the HRE is inferior to his own Twelve Movements of Purgatory.

Thinking of the excitement, Neris roared and stood up, she held a shield in her left hand and a gun in her right hand, and in the void space, more than 80,000 heroic spirits heard Neris's roar and shouted together. It's just that the strength of these heroic spirits is weak, and they can't turn into demons to help Naris fight.

With the extension of Nellis's spiritual power, the ground under her feet became thicker, and the power of the scarlet soul tower fragments was all released, transforming this space into a small land. The area of this land is only a dozen miles in size, but everything is complete, with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars.

Neris even felt that deep in the earth beneath her feet, a fire was forming.

This is the home of Neris's soul, the Demon Plane. The harsh living environment, never stop killing, in this space, on the edge of the mountain, there is a platform several meters in size, which is the hiding place prepared for her by Nerice's parents.
