Saleen made a mistake in his judgment as he did not expect the silver line golden spearfish to be able to move so quickly. He tried to think from the perspective of a grade-9 magic beast and decided not to hide too far away from it. In any case, the spearfish would not see him and Nailisi as threats. Therefore, he swam upwards so that he could block off the spearfish from reaching the pan’s turtle alchemical boat.

The combination of the tornado with Snowkill was a very useful technique, but Saleen did not expect it to hurt the silver line golden spearfish at all. His water flame technique was only at grade-8, so the tornado and Snowkill that he had cast together at the same time were also only grade-8. The defense of the spearfish was so high that even grade-9 spells would have trouble overcoming it.

The silver line golden spearfish’s body was tangled up in the tornado and all of its scales suddenly opened up and expanded, making its body look twice as large. It was not that spearfishes did not have scales, they were only hidden underneath the silver fluid.

When the scales expanded, thousands of miniature water currents shot out. Current Cutter was a grade-4 spell and when it was unleashed from the spearfish’s body, it was a high-level spell.

Tornado and Snowkill were disrupted by Current Cutter. The silver line golden spearfish lowered its head and aimed its long spear at Saleen’s chest. Saleen was no match for the silver line golden spearfish in terms of speed and agility in the water. He never expected his grade-8 compound magic to have zero effects on the spearfish.

Nailisi took that opportunity to overtake Saleen. Her entire body was running with blue electric currents and she charged towards the spearfish. She was not as fast as Saleen, but she was more agile. After all, she had a long tail and was almost as agile as a fish underwater.

Nailisi faced the eight yard long spear and was prepared to grip it with both hands. Her hands were also running with electric current, so the moment she got a hold on the spear, the spearfish would be numb for a while, regardless of its grade. By then, Saleen could use either crystal finger or of Eye of Lightning to control or kill the silver line golden spearfish.

Saleen was unable to speak underwater, but he saw with his elemental eyes made him panic. There was an even longer and invisible force in front of the silver line golden spearfish’s spear, which allowed the spear’s attacking range to increase by three times.

The force was similar to that of a grand swordmaster’s sword aura, but the difference was that the silver line golden spearfish was manipulating an elemental power. A sharp elemental penetration was something that only magic beasts could utilize.

That was because humans’ magic chords could not be compared to those of magic beasts. The magic nucleus of the silver line golden spearfish must be a few yards in diameter. Such a huge magic nucleus would contain powers beyond its grade, which would allow a grade-9 magic beast’s endurance ability to reach an incredible extent.

Elemental penetration utilized elements to form a weapon that possessed all the unique attributes of magic weapons. The elemental penetration of the spearfish emulated its spear and its penetrability was something that Nailisi would not be able to defend against.

Saleen tried to make up for that mistake by boosting Nailisi with twelve layers of water shields. The water shields completely wrapped up Nailisi’s entire body.

Nailisi was taken by surprise. Saleen had boosted her with too many spells, a total of twelve layers of grade-7 defense spells! After Saleen’s water shield had advanced, its ability to self-repair had increased by tens of times. Unless the energy of the entire water shield was removed instantaneously, the water shield would always remain in a complete state.

Lightning Protection was a technique that could not be utilized in spirit-form. Nailisi knew that things were not looking good, so she quickly took out the Twelve Notes of Purgatory.

The invisible spear still managed to pierce into Nailisi’s body. The twelve layers of water shield popped and were all broken.

Grade-7 water shields had been pierced through by the silver line golden spearfish. She was terrified. Her Twelve Notes of Purgatory would not help in time.

Nailisi whipped her tail and tried to avoid her crucial organs from being hurt. She was a demon after all, as long as her heart was safe, she would be able to recover from any injuries, no matter how severe they might be. She did not expect six eyes to suddenly open on the silver line golden spearfish’s head. There was an evil glow in those eyes. Nailisi’s entire body was paralyzed on the spot.

Silver line golden spearfish were able to hunt down single-horned white whales, so how could it possibly allow this prey to escape so easily? The moment it opened its six eyes, even Saleen, who was behind Nailisi, stopped dead in his tracks. The spearfish has used the technique to kill countless enemies. In Oceanic Ice Block, no prey had managed to escape from that attack yet.

There was more to the spearfish’s attacks. When it swam forward, the sound waves created by the water currents formed a line and shot out ahead of its body. The sound waves were of an extremely high frequency and could affect humans mentally. That forced mages to be unable to focus their mental strength in order to cast spells. Most of the time, the silver line golden spearfish could not even be bothered to use other techniques since the sound wave attack alone would be able to kill magic beasts that were below grade-7.

“Time! Reverse!” Nicholas’ voice rang out from the pan’s turtle alchemical boat in the deep seas. It was as if lightning had struck underwater. The heads of all the magic beasts within several miles were severely impacted and they all fainted. His target, the silver line golden spearfish, had also stopped its attack.

Nicholas’ fallen prophecy spell was cast by burning souls. It was more powerful than a grade-9 divine spell and even possessed the power of some rules.

Saleen and Nailisi were not within the attacking range. Nailisi twisted her body. The invisible spear had pierced through her body. Fresh blood squirted out and a hole the size of a fist appeared on her abdomen.

The electric current on Nailisi’s body had dissipated as the spearfish’s attack had destroyed her Lightning Protection. This was the first time an elemental spell successfully destroyed her Lightning Protection. Although Nailisi was afraid, she still used her tail to wrap around the silver line golden spearfish’s spear.

Behind the crystal lenses of Saleen’s devil mask, three-hundred and sixty lightning runes flew out of his eyes. Golden lightning runes merged into a long and thick electric current instantaneously and struck the spearfish.

Saleen gave everything he had into that single strike. The strike was so powerful that after the magic beast was struck by the electric current, the silver lines in its entire body convulsed violently to no avail. The electric current entered the spearfish’s body and the powerful attack produced a burnt smell in the water.

That was when Nailisi opened the Twelve Notes of Purgatory despite her pain. The silver line golden spearfish, Saleen, and large volumes of sea water were sucked into the Purgatory of Darkness.

Within the Purgatory of Darkness, the seawater was quickly evaporated by the dark elements. The spearfish landed heavily on the ground and Nailisi transformed into her three-faced bone demon form and dragged the weakened Saleen away.

The silver line golden spearfish flailed its body around wildly. It was so powerful and strong that Nailisi did not dare to turn back at all.

Rows of grade-8 bone walls were erected behind Nailisi. At that point in time, the silver line golden spearfish opened its six eyes again and aimed its spear at Nailisi before shooting out an invisible force.

The bone walls were broken instantaneously. The silver line golden spearfish only stopped attacking after Nailisi had carried Saleen three miles away from it.

As it could no longer sense any water-element power, it could only depend on its magic nucleus, which would not allow it to attack any targets beyond three miles.

There were no water elements in the Purgatory of Darkness, or more specifically, all the water elements had been manipulated by Nailisi for the time-being to be far away from the spearfish. It might possess powerful attacks, but there was no way it could unleash them. It was a magic beast that was supposed to live underwater. Without water, it would suffocate sooner or later. Even the most powerful magic nuclei would be completely exhausted one day.

When Nailisi felt that they had escaped far enough, she created another opening and brought Saleen back into the sea.

Incredibly, that was how the silver line golden spearfish was captured by Nailisi. It would be much more troublesome if it was a grade-9 sorcerer because the Twelve Notes of Purgatory was not a complete equipment and its dimensional law was not high enough. A grade-9 sorcerer would have been able to determine the location of the exit. Even if the Twelve Notes of Purgatory were in Nailisi’s possession, it was still possible for someone to escape from it.

Nailisi dragged Saleen back to the pan’s turtle alchemical boat.

Saleen consumed Eleanor’s medicine. He had forcefully used his most powerful Eye of Lightning attack just then and he was in an extremely weakened state. In that state, he had no more mental strength, nor magic chords, and his life energy was reduced to a frightening state. Other than one last breath, Saleen was practically just like a spirit of the dead.

If he had not forcefully increased the power of Eye of Lightning by tens of times and increased the attacking range beyond twenty yards, the silver line golden spearfish would not have been controlled for the moment and Nailisi would not have been able to bring them all into the Twelve Notes of Purgatory.

Saleen panted and saw Nicholas with a full head of long snowy white hair instead of his usual grayish white hair. He was shocked.

“You did not use the power of the soul beads!”

Nicholas smiled bitterly and said, “My Lord, there was no time. If I had not used the Prophecy spell, you and Nailisi would have been pierced to death.”

Saleen was silent for a moment before saying, “Don’t worry. I can prolong your life. The life that you have lost can be gained back slowly.”

Nicholas smiled and said, “My Lord, I know. You are referring to the Power of Life of the Goddess of Myers, but I am a fallen Holy Master. I will not be able to receive the blessings of any Gods.”

“What are you afraid of? I am not a disciple of the Goddess of Myers either. Just absorb Power of Life from me.” Saleen began to meditate the moment he finished.

Usually when he used the Eye of Lightning, there was no need for him to adjust his magic chords. He did so that time around in order to protect his own body. He had a water-elemental body. As long as water elements had been sufficiently replenished, his body would be as resilient, if not more, compared to magic beasts.

It was because of this that he was not seriously injured from the over-usage of Eye of Lightning. The counter-reacting force of Eye of Lightning was more terrifying than that of crystal finger. If one was not careful, one’s soul might even be dissipated.

“Master, we have captured it!” Nailisi said excitedly. Her three faces revealed a strange smile and looked even more creepy than the winged skeleton.
