It was hard for contract creatures to fight among themselves. Even if there was a loophole in the contract, this fact was hard to change. It was precisely because of this that Nailisi could not do anything to the winged skeleton.
In the ship, it would almost be impossible for her to give the winged skeleton a good beating.
“Alright, Soldier. I am willing to help you, however, you mustn’t forget that I want to summon a demon to help master. Don’t you want him to be safer too?” Nailisi used another tactic to try and convince the winged skeleton.
“Do you really think that way?” The winged skeleton lowered his head to look at Nailisi. He was almost twice the height of Nailisi.
“Of course, everything of mine belongs to master.” Nailisi gave a pious look.
“It seems like demons really cannot be trusted.” The winged skeleton laughed. Nailisi thought she saw wrongly for a moment. It seemed that on his transparent skull, was a smile. One must know that a smile was formed from the movement of muscles and sometimes only moving the tip of the mouth made one looked more like one was crying.
“The winged skeleton, whose face is made entirely of bones can actually laugh!”
‘You must be thinking, everything of yours is master’s, but everything of master’s is also yours, right? Maidservant, stop playing games with me, I must be stronger than you.” The winged skeleton said firmly.
“Damn you!” Nailisi kicked the crystal. Even though she could crush rocks with her leg, the crystal that the winged skeleton was in did not even budge. Instead, a shot of pain ran up Nailisi’s leg.
“Unless you can destroy the entire ship with your kick, you should stop that in the future. I do not like that, if you continue doing so, I will…”
“What can you do to me? At most I won’t enter this ship of yours ever again!” Nailisi shouted crazily.
“If you do that again, I will beg master to marry you to me.” The winged skeleton said seriously as Nailisi sucked in a huge cold breath. She turned sluggish in an instant.
If the winged skeleton was not a spirit, such things would not happen at all. It did not matter who wanted to go to bed with her, Saleen would be able to feel it. The winged skeleton was a spirit and this so-called marriage would only be on paper. Saleen might really listen to the winged skeleton.
The winged skeleton was more loyal than her and if such a thing were to happen, she might as well die.
A demon’s love was much more loyal than human’s. This was because in the demon dimension, a family was an impenetrable safe group that took care of each other. Only then could a demon live and take care of its young. Such belief was ingrained within them and even the most ridiculous demon would choose its mate carefully.
She liked master and she would not marry this skeleton no matter what.
“Alright, I just wanted to try a human dramatic performance and see if it was as effective as they say. Anyway, I have already promised you, I just want the coordinates ahead of time.” Nailisi’s expression changed quickly and there was not any hint of anger at all.
“I want to give it to you as soon as I can too.” The winged skeleton said coldly, a scene flashed past him.
The ground was blood red and at the end of the road was a palace made up of bones. They were fresh and every cornerstone of the palace was made up of spirits. They were suppressed and crying out shrilly. Within the temple, there was a huge throne and a skeleton was sitting on it.
It was transparent, almost as if it was carved from the most precious crystal. Under the throne, countless monarchs were laying on the ground. They were worshiping the transparent skeleton.
That was once the only god in the death dimension and was the god of this dimension. It had evolved from the lowest-grade skeleton after all.
This God of spirit had created a skeleton throne and stabilized the death dimension, turning it from one that was on the brink of destruction to a stable dimension.
If the skeleton god had not fallen, it would have continued developing. Unlike now when the disgusting living creatures within the abyss would come and harass for no reason.
Skeletons could become gods.
The winged skeleton’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted, such scenes sprouted up regularly and he knew they were all real. From the moment his intelligence was turned on, he had gained these memories.
“If I were to become a god, wouldn’t master be safer?”
If the gods in the countless dimensions were to know of the winged skeleton’s plans, they would definitely rip him to shreds. If he became a god, why would he still need a master? This was basically an insult to the gods. No matter how weak a god was, it would not bend to any other living creature. So many gods had fallen because they had pitted themselves against the humans in the central dimension initially before pitting themselves against each other.
Of course, the most hated ones were humans. They did not live long, but they grew incredibly quickly and could evolve countlessly. If any one of them were to become a god, they would still regard themselves as a human and not follow the rules of the gods. If there were not any humans, the gods would long ago have conquered the core of the dimensions and created a world that only the gods had control over.
The Pan’s Turtle alchemical boat moved slowly towards the deep sea, the place where Saleen had chosen to build the city used to be an ancient battlefield. In the past and many ships had sunk here. The winged skeleton had already uncovered many places with treasures, but the living creatures within the sea were incredibly tough. If he were to leave the alchemical boat, once he met with any dangers, he might not only die but misfortunes might befall the alchemical boat too. If that was the case, Saleen would have much to lose.
By letting Nailisi do the dirty jobs, the winged skeleton was not afraid to die. He knew how important the alchemical boat was to Saleen and it was crucial when escaping.
So long as he escaped into the alchemical boat, even a grade-9 sorcerer could not do anything to Saleen.
A black liquid started bubbling within the spirit pool, it had an incredibly low temperature and a bone would float up from it from time to time. Before long they would quickly be squashed by spirit power, turning into a bone spirit. They quickly grew and concealed themselves within the green spirits that were around the spirit pool.
These bone spirits that were forcefully processed did not need to be obtained from the death dimension. He could produce thirty-six of them every day. It was a pity that the bone spirits produced in this manner had a short lifespan. Even within the green spirit, they could not survive for more than a few months. Once their lives ended, they would turn into the liquid within the spirit pool again.
There was not a fixed passageway between the Myers Mainland and the death dimension, so the spirits of all the living creatures that died on the mainland would slowly dissipate and transform. Only rarely would they make it into the death dimension. In the Myers Mainland dimension, the restoring speed of the spirit pool was incredibly quick and one could find negative energy to replenish it anytime because of that.
The target was over twenty hours by the sea route and Nailisi was bored and could only start talking with the winged skeleton.
“Soldier, if you really want to help master, you can think of another solution.”
“What solution?” The winged skeleton did not want to anger Nailisi, but he did not want to be controlled by the demon. When Nailisi started talking to him, he did not remain silent.
“I heard that the combat power of the mechanical soul is incredibly strong, why don’t you try creating a mechanical soul?”
“Don’t be silly, a mechanical soul cannot be created. It is too dangerous and even the three Kings cannot afford to offend them.
“I want to make a mechanical soul to ride on.” Nailisi was serious this time. She had talked about this with Daniel before and she knew a mechanical soul was very powerful, moreover, it would not be very affected on the Myers Mainland. It’s body itself was stronger than even the giant dragon and its restorative powers were shocking.
“Then I would want to ride on the supreme demon Anduxisi.” The winged skeleton pouted.
The supreme demon Anduxisi had two unobservable states, the first was a human while the other was a unicorn in the spirit dimension. Human mages used to love riding on unicorns and sometimes there would be an Anduxisi in the mix. The outcome for such a mage was imaginable.
As for Anduxisi, it was one of the few demons that had the ability to cross over to other dimensions. A demon like that was even rarer than a grade-10 human professional.
The winged skeleton was jeering at Nailisi’s unrealistic thoughts when he said he wanted to ride an Anduxisi.
A demon riding on a spirit and a spirit riding on a demon, that was an interesting thought.
“Anduxisi? Why don’t you ride the God of Light?” Nailisi laughed at the winged skeleton. Saleen’s main enemy was the Sacred Holy See. As the winged skeleton was a death creature, he was naturally afraid of the divine skills of the Holy See.
“Heh…” The winged skeleton did not reply Nailisi, He thought to himself; “If I become a god, I must help master get rid of the God of Light. Light conquering darkness? That was because it wasn’t in the death dimension. If the God of Light went to the death dimension, its powers would be suppressed to a tenth of what it is now. This was despite the skeleton god having fallen.”
Seeing the winged skeleton not replying, Nailisi could only take it that she had the upper hand as she started talking excitedly on magic topics with the winged skeleton. She could turn into an actual human body now and training her magic was no longer a problem.
In actual fact, Nailisi had the bloodline of Luoluokaluo in her and once all her eight powers were assembled, she could still practice magic. At that time, the body of a luoluokaluo would have something resembling magic chords. The only thing was that no one knew how long it would take for her to assemble all eight powers and the absorbing powers of Luoluokaluo were based entirely on instinct.
Only useful powers would be absorbed by Nailisi. Even if she were to eat up tens of thousands of living creatures, she would not be able to gain any powers.
Her instinct could not be controlled, but it also prevented her from choosing wrongly.
Nailisi now had the powers of the giant dragon and the lightning dragon; lightning protection and the ability to change into a human form. For each of them, they were all suitable for her to survive on the Myers Mainland. If she was in the demon dimension, the three powers she gained would definitely be unrelated to them.
Demons rarely used magic for combat and the effects of the lightning protection was that important. So long as a demon was to grow fully, its powers would not be any less than a giant dragon. As for turning into a human, besides the strongest supreme demon Anduxisi, who else could change into a human form for no reason? That used to be a means of death and now, humans were weak and turning into them was the same as attracting demons to hunt and kill you.
The winged skeleton realized Nailisi was no longer squabbling with him as he patiently explained his magic knowledge to her. The winged skeleton knew death magic naturally. At the same time, he also had the memories of a mage and he was a considerably powerful mage too. The knowledge he had was plentiful and was enough to guide a grand mage. It was more than sufficient to deal with Nailisi.
The winged skeleton and the demon finally found a reason to get along on friendly terms.
