The number of followers by Saleen’s side increased, which was increasingly helpful for him. Jola was able to work alone, and once Eleanor and the others advanced to level 10, Saleen would not need to worry about direct conflicts with the Holy See.
Now that he wanted to face Alchemy City, he required helpers. Daniel could be trusted, so Saleen might as well refine a piece of level 13 equipment for Daniel to use.
The flow of time in the Magical Element Tower was fast, due to the fact that Saleen’s Magical Element Tower used too much power and its movements were too quick.
Saleen had not come out from the Magical Element Tower, and Nailisi had already returned triumphantly from New Demon City.
The Southwest aristocracy’s allied forces had already been conquered by the imp. Nailisi led the allied forces in a landslide victory. Pompeii City’s military force of 50,000 had been killed instantly. The mages in the troops had mostly escaped, and the number of soldiers who had died in battle exceeded 10,000. The number of soldiers that escaped back to Pompeii City was estimated to be less than 10,000, and the remaining people were taken as prisoners.


The Southwest allied forces acquiesced. Nailisi led only 10,000 demons and was able to destroy Pompeii City’s elite troops. Although the reason was due to the suppression of level, what Nailisi did was chase away the mages in Pompee City’s troops.
Without mages, they were on even ground, and the loss of the demons was almost negligible.
Unless the demons were killed in battle—even if they were heavily injured—after about 10 days, they were able to reenter the battle. If the demons were mixed in among the human soldiers, they could break out with an even stronger combat power.
The cooperation between the humans and the demons formed the core of the battle. After Nailisi drove away most of the mages, the battle core was able to easily find the last of the enemy soldiers, and quickly annihilate them.
It was the toughest battle. After most of the formation had collapsed, the soldiers who were still able to form a system for combat were the core of the whole formation, which was what the humans and demons destroyed together.
Human combat was extremely professional, refined, and pertinent. The demons were strong and recovered quickly. When they worked together with humans, it formed a very unique style of combat. The humans were the core of their small teams and led the demons and headed towards the enemy’s most vulnerable spot.
Using the method that was most economical in terms of energy, they destroyed Pompeii City’s last resistance.
After Nailisi returned, she lost her arrogant and conceited attitude. During Saleen’s absence, she had taken control of the generals of the Southwest alliance forces.
The concept of New Demon City had been brought up by Saleen, but it was Nailisi who completed it. The confidence of the Southwest aristocracy’s allied forces towards setting up armies that employed demons greatly increased. They were not very different from humans in intelligence. There were also mages among the demons, and although their numbers were sparse, it proved that they had the qualifications to seek the world’s mysteries.
New Demon City’s House of the Lord had only just begun to be established. They needed to wait until Cuisi’s trusted followers and the others arrived, and then they would be able to officially form troops and change it to Lex’s territory. The Southwest aristocracy dispatched an emissary to reside there and coordinate battle arrangements.


Saleen no longer placed much importance on such things, as they were only a small portion of his plan. He wanted to taunt Alchemy City. By seizing Pompeii City, he wanted to see what Alchemy City’s stance was.
It was not that Saleen could never work together with Grand Duke Iron Blood. The things Grand Duke Iron Blood plotted included the Cloudflow Empire, so he was Agares’ enemy. Saleen had no interest in the political powers of the continent. If Grand Duke Iron Blood could allow the Nature Faith to become widespread, as long as the Myers Goddess was revived, Saleen would abandon everything, leave his kingdom for future generations, and begin to use all of his life to explore the mysteries of magic.
Saleen had no interest in becoming emperor. The First Dynasty’s Emperors had all vanished in history’s endless flow. Only the Founding Emperor had left behind a few traces, but it was due to his achievements in magic, not his identity as an Emperor. If not for the fragments of ancient history that had been recorded in the mages’ journals, none of the emperors would have left behind anything in history for people to pay their respects towards.
Ten days passed very quickly. Saleen used the Magical Element Tower’s teleportation portal to look for Cuisi and the other demons, entrusting them with the plans for New Demon City.

Your Majesty, I am only a level 9 supreme demon and can’t suppress this situation, if Master stayed…
Cuisi said with some hesitation.
Nailisi kicked the supreme demon’s rear.
I won’t ever bother with such things. I already subdued the Southwest aristocrats. How long a road do you want me to pave for you?


But you also can’t just ignore it!
Saleen disciplined Nailisi.
Cuisi follows you, so you must let him have a future. Don’t tell me you are just going to let him to toil on until death and not be able to gain anything?

Nailisi did not respond, since Saleen made sense. Of the four demons that had followed her from the beginning, Cuisi’s achievements were the greatest. There was even hope of advancing to level 10 and becoming a devil.
Having only one capable subordinate was not good.

Mm, how about this. I cannot mobilize Master’s power, as they all have their purposes. but I recall West Town has two level 9 sorcerers. What were their names?



Cuisi nodded.

Forget it. No matter what their names are, they can be changed. Send them here. I will give you the method for managing demonic spirits. No matter what kind of situation arises, if you rely on the demonic spirits and magic net, you will be able to hold onto this place. Oh right, I will grant you authority that no matter who is mobilizing you, you can ignore them. As long as you think your life is in danger, you cannot leave the protective range of the magic net.

Cuisi nodded. His current capabilities were not sufficient. The other three demons were capable subordinates. Managing the New Demon City was not a problem.

Cuisi, handle things well. Once Master has completed his affairs, if you have not thrown the city away, I will restore a masculine body for you.
Nailisi did not forget to promise some benefits. To her, the reward was ordinary, but it made Cuisi tearful and excited.
Finally, there was hope to revert to masculinity. The woman’s body made him feel impulsive enough to kill.

Alright Cuisi, if there are no other important matters, you can stay here and cultivate. Advance as quickly as possible. Nailisi will sometimes forget your request, so you can look for me.
Saleen consoled Cuisi.
Cuisi bowed. Only then did Nailisi retrieve an object, passing it to Cuisi.
This was refined by me. It is a Devil’s Signet. You are now a level 9 supreme demon and are not far from advancement. If you use demonic magic to refine the Devil’s Signet, even if you summon a supreme demon that is close to your capabilities, you will be able to suppress them. Take note to choose demons with pure bloodlines to set up your own troops. In the future, there will be many times where I will be following Master, so its time for you to have your own forces.

Cuisi was overjoyed. Nailisi was just like the real devil on the demon plane who would allow subordinates to establish cities and instate them as kings.
From that point on, although he still possessed the identity of a servant, Nailisi would not allow him to do a servant’s work. Having reached that point, he would begin to have some degree of precious freedom. As long as he did not disobey Nailisi’s orders, he would eventually become a real devil.
It was only after properly arranging the affairs of New Demon City that Saleen was relieved and could go with his followers to Pompeii City.


Qin had stabilized his condition and had a prototype for all of his new skills. Saleen was not anxious, so he allowed Naisi to dispatch flying demon scouts and continued to gather information about Pompeii City. His Magical Element Tower had attained flight speed of 100 li per hour and did not even need the large magic power furnace to be opened. It only required the use of the backup small magic power furnace.
The demons flew high in the air. They searched the ground with alchemy binoculars. There were no traces of large numbers of soldiers being dispatched.
It seemed that Pompeii City had finally thought things through. Attacking Saleen would not bear any fruit. Perhaps Alchemy City’s mages had also given their opinion, as it was possible that Alchemy City had been able to guess what Saleen was thinking.
Saleen was not worried. Within the magical tower, he began to arm the big guy from the temple with weapons.
The big guy had been modified by Saleen. Its height was lowered to 100 meters, with a body structure like an elemental stone statue soldier. The big guy was created by the two puppets, and its composition was fine and delicate. It was a pity that it had undergone spatial corrosion, and the strength of its body was not equal to an elemental creature. Saleen changed its spare parts and added some specialized equipment for puppets.
Saleen even installed a magic cannon. The magic cannon’s body was 60 meters long. Normally, it was retracted into the equipment slot in the puppet’s shoulder. When necessary, it could be summoned out to attack. Normal puppets could never have such an ability. It was only because the big guy possessed a soul that he could use equipment slots.
Saleen stopped their advance 100 li outside of Pompeii City. If the demons were to keep flying forwards, it would be dangerous. Even though demons who could fly were normally stronger, there were several dozens of magical towers in Pompeii City. They had all been built with the help of Alchemy City and had hundreds of mages.
They were different from the low level mages among the troops. The level of the mages in the city were higher. With the help of the magical towers, their combat ability would be increased. Saleen did not want to make meaningless sacrifices. Since he had already arrived, the Grand Duke of Pompeii would not have any good outcomes.
The Magical Element Tower descended to the ground. It left behind two demon soldiers and then took flight again. The demon soldiers hid themselves in the westward path that was necessary to cross. The Magical Element Tower flew directly into the skies of Pompeii City.
Pompeii City was a bit bigger than Metatrin City. Saleen could see the traces of the city constantly expanding. There were some places which even had low castle walls.



Master, shall we descend first, or shall we start fighting now?
Nailisi asked Saleen.

Let’s land first. We must be reasonable.
Saleen looked at the ancient city and sighed. It would be great if it were not the Grand Duke of Pompeii’s place. If so, it would not need to go through the baptism of the flames of war.
