Its appearance was hardly weird, as there were many beings throughout the planes that had many heads and limbs.

It was an elemental creature as well, but at level 11. However, it was far easier for Saleen to deal with elemental creatures than it was to deal with level ten humans. Humans were capable of thought and crafting powerful equipment. Even level nine humans would be able to beat Saleen if he let his guard down.

Saleen pointed his finger after seeing the creature charge at him. Spells descended from the Magical Element Tower. It was hardly any different whether Saleen was inside or outside the tower, as he could command the demonic spirits just as well.

The level 11 elemental creature, which was covered green magic patterns, blasted over 20 level 11 spells before it was even near Saleen.

The attack was very aggressive, as it blocked all of Saleen's ways out, so much so that it was almost able to pin him where he stood. Saleen chuckled, as he was not fighting alone.

600 demonic spirits cast level nine spells in turns, dispersing the level 11 spells.

Saleen realized that having 600 demonic spirits attack at the same time was akin to him casting compound magic, the only difference being that he did not use his own magic chords. Only the tower would be able to streamline the 600 spells on top of each other.

Under his control, the compound magic spells cast were capable of resisting level 11 magic attacks.

The magic attacks cast by elemental creatures were many times more powerful than the ones cast by human mages.

Saleen was unable to instantly break the spells' weak parts and resorted to nullifying them with his own magic.

There was one major and two minor levels between level 11 and level nine. Saleen could cover up the difference using sheer numbers or his Thunder Dragon Blaster.

This time, he used the Elemental Order. The ring hovered behind Saleen. Elemental light was concealed in the ring and nothing was able to be seen from the ring itself, making it seem like a black hole was hovering behind Saleen.

Three sharp spears were thrust at Saleen's front and flanks—all of which were conjured by the elemental creature.

Water elemental spears were incredibly sharp on their own and came with powerful freezing effects. Saleen was all too familiar with the skill. While his own were level seven ,and the spears conjured by the elemental creature were level 11, their nature was hardly any different.

The greatest difference was targeting—Saleen was unable to run.

But he had no need to do so. He pointed upwards and 600 more spells gathered and formed a huge ice bomb. The ice bomb disappeared suddenly and shot out of the ring behind Saleen. His own body seemed to be a mere shadow, letting the ice bomb pass through him and clash with the incoming spears.

The power of water spells was the greatest at the bottom of the ten mile-deep lake. The ice bomb was over 30 meters wide after being amplified by Saleen's magic amplifier. It did not look like a level two magic spell at all.

That was also a compound magic spell: Comet Drop. True Comet Drops could only be conjured at level 12, but the spell was a mimicked product derived from 600 spells amplified by the magic amplifier.

While it was not a true Comet Drop, it was able to crush the three level 11 spells cast by the elemental creature. The huge ice bomb crashed into the creature's body.

Two triangular magic patterns crossed, forming a hexagram. It was a method employed by the enchanters, and the ones employed by mages were far more complicated. The hexagram trapped the level 11 elemental creature, petrifying it instantly.

Comet Drop was a combination between water and earth magic, just like Saleen's Comet Flash.

The simple magic array spun and extracted all of the water element from the petrified water elemental creature, reinforcing the earth magic array.

Saleen had no need to wait further. He took out a sealing scroll and sealed the water elemental creature within.

Sealing scrolls were precious, but Saleen had starline paper to spare. Gaine did not even bother thinking about it. Sealing scrolls made from starline paper were utterly incapable of misfire.

"Come out already!" Saleen shouted. His Thundering Shock stunned the creature inside the crevice, dispersing its preparations.

"Why have you come looking for trouble?" The water type element spirit finally asked.

"I don't want to, but my teacher needs you," Saleen told it as it was.

"What if humans were enslaved by elemental creatures instead?" the water type element spirit asked.

"There are enslaved humans in the divine kingdoms. Do we need to talk about morals?" Saleen snickered. It was childish of the water type element spirit to try to sway him with flowery words.

The water type element spirit would probably kill any human who got close, just to protect the secret at the eye of the sea.

The water type element spirit was only concerned that he would bring humans of even greater power by asking such questions. He would have to make a move eventually. The water type element spirit would definitely not let Saleen escape even if he intended to.

Knowing how to sway one's enemy with words before duking it out meant that the water type element spirit was more difficult to deal with than expected. Saleen might have been affected by such words in his younger days, making him hesitate.

However, Saleen had been completely awakened by the methods employed by the grandmaster against him. Saleen now reserved mercy and pity to only the people around him.

The water type element spirit was not a human and if he intended to use it as a weapon spirit, then there was no place for mercy or pity.

The water type element spirit was rendered speechless. The human had a heart of stone.

"Come out already. Or are you actually trying to suppress something staying in the eye of the sea instead?" Saleen shouted again, targeting his Thundering Voice deep into the crevice instead.

Sand came loose and the water turned murky.

"Don't blame me then, human!" Four dazzling beams of light shot to the surface from the crevice.

The four beams formed four corners of a magic array. The water type element spirit rose from the magic array, four snakes beneath its feet. Saleen snuck back into the tower with a whoosh as soon as the snakes appeared.

Four level 13 beings were suppressed by one water type element spirit. The water type element spirit was not level 13, but level 14. Are we no longer on Myers Mainland now?

Level 14 was the level of demigods. Powerful ones among humans who had reached level 14 were capable of traversing space without using magic arrays.

If Saleen remained outside as bait against a being of such levels, he would end up as food.

"Quick feet you've got there. Pity that it's too late for you!" The water type element spirit was about eight meters tall, but it was merely an elemental shell. Element spirits were comparable to humans, which was about two meters tall.

The four snakes beneath the water type element spirit spit thick poisonous mist, shrouding the tower. Nothing could be seen anymore. Even Saleen's Elemental Eye was unable to see through it.

Some poison indeed!

"Saleen, I can't lock onto it!" Eleanor put her bow down. The level difference was just great. Not even Eleanor's godly item was able to perform as it should.

"What about you, Nailisi?"

"I can thrust once, but if I targeted it, I'll be rendered useless," Nailisi replied as she shook her head.

Sh**, a pain in the a** to deal with then!

Saleen was exasperated. He was able to deal with any beings below level 12 by working in tandem with his people, nut having to deal with something level 13 and above, and five of them at once, was something that brought him to the end of his wits.

Even if his family badge were able to kill the water type element spirit, he still had to deal with the four snakes. They were level 13 creatures, the level of pseudo-gods.

The Magical Element Tower rose to the surface. Saleen intended to see what the water type element spirit would do next.

The tower was sucked back to the bottom by a powerful force before it was able to rise beyond ten meters, right into the huge crevice.

The eye of the sea was beneath the crevice. Saleen had no way of resisting. The water type element spirit's power was the most powerful enemy he had encountered so far, way above the fire type element spirit that his teacher had subjugated.

His Lightning Cage would be able to lock it up, but the problem was how to get a being with such wit into the cage.

Saleen had intended to use the divine persona of a water elemental god as bait, but the enemy was surprisingly on demigod level. If it got its hands on the divine persona, it would advance to level 15 on the spot.

If that were the case, there was no guarantee that Lightning Cage would be able to trap it.

The Magical Element Tower dropped into a weird portal, which was formed from water element. Furious elemental turbulence raged within. The tower knocked here and there, spinning furiously as it dropped beneath.

The water type element spirit maintained its pursuit relentlessly. It wanted to kill every single human in the tower. It was unable to rest if even one of them got away, as there more humans would come for it, intending to subjugate, seal, and refine it.

If Saleen had been fooled by the level 11 elemental creature and left after subjugating it, the water type element spirit would not have bothered doing anything further. But unfortunately, Saleen knew it was in the eye of the sea.

The eye of the sea was connected to other planes, as Myers Mainland would not allow a level 14 being to exist. While the other plane was good, the rules there were broken. If it wanted to advance further, it had to go to the Myers Mainland and wait for the powers of that plane to be restored.

"Mage, now that you've entered my world, you shall become the slave!"

Saleen's tower entered another plane. The water type element spirit's body expanded to over 1000 meters tall. There was no land on the plane. Ocean was everywhere. The water type element spirit stood on the surface of the ocean, looking down on the floating Magical Element Tower.

Saleen was able to see that all beings were born of water element, and furthermore, every single being seemed to obey the water type element spirit's commands.

"Big thoughts you've got there. So you want to become a god?" Saleen's voice came from within the tower. The water type element spirit laughed.

"Of course I do. Why would I not? When I become a god, I shall preach in the Myers Mainland, and make all humans on it my slaves!"
