The demonic spirit’s mouth twitched several times, but he did not reply immediately. Tolesi stared at the demonic spirit, his eyes void of sympathy. In the demonic plane, supreme demons and demons never regarded demonic spirits as food. It’s just that the reproduction ability of demonic spirits was too high, so if they were not removed from time to time, the supreme demons would suffer a famine.
It was the same case for the demons too. The reproduction ability of a demon was only a little better than that of a supreme demon, and demons also abhorred seeing demonic spirits everywhere. Both parties would never have a harmonious relationship.
Tolesi did not have much patience, as his eyes involuntarily released a green light, encompassing the illusory demonic spirit. Since Tolesi was three grades higher than the illusory demonic spirit, the mental terror received was at maximum magnitude. With a thud, plumes of black smoke diffused out of the demonic spirit’s seven apertures, then he died.
Tolesi opened his mouth to suck in the smoke, and after a thorough investigation, he still could not find anything useful in the demonic spirit’s memory. In a fit of pique, he kicked the demonic spirit, feeling perturbed as he did not know how Nailisi would punish him.
Seeing Tolesi’s expression, Nailisi knew he had failed. Nailisi did not get furious, she simply asked,
Share information about this place, just reveal anything you can think of.


Lorga… is a dead city. After the fall of the goddess, the guards here were transformed into half-spirits.


That’s it?


Nothing else. Other than his instincts, there are no more memories.


Isn’t that akin to not saying anything?
Nailisi stared coldly at Tolesi with her jade green pupils. Tolesi’s heart shuddered, but he heard Nailisi saying,
Her Highness Lex is friendly, you can say anything, it will be fine.

Tolesi hung his head low, he knew that Nailisi was giving him face.

Sir, this illusory demonic spirit knows the location where the goddess stored the Divine Crystal.


What did you say?
Nailisi regretted her decision, this Tolesi actually managed to retrieve such important information. If she knew that, she would not have allowed him to disclose it in front of Lex.
A Divine Crystal was the energy a god gave to their followers, it was much purer than a magic nucleus. If a magic nucleus was not placed in a special space, its energy would be dispersed automatically. Given the degree of agglomeration of a Divine Crystal, the energy inside would not even show any signs of dispersal after one-hundred-thousand years.
An item like a Divine Crystal was useful to a mage. This thing was much stronger than a white crystal. With a Divine Crystal in possession, a mage would be able to replenish all depleted mental strength at will.
To Saleen, if he had a perfect piece of Divine Crystal, he would be able to control the water flow in the calabash and continue battling. By then, normal soldiers would no longer pose a threat to Saleen’s safety. No matter how many people were there, Saleen also would not need to be worried, because his mental strength would always be full.
To Nailisi, she could absorb the energy in a Divine Crystal to gain the fourth ability because she was a Luoluokaluo. No matter what type of ability it was, Nailisi would be satisfied as long as it was the power of the Goddess of Myers.
If the Goddess of Myers was still alive, Nailisi would not dare harbor such thoughts. The goddess was not around anymore, no one would know if she stole a bit of the goddess’ power.
Nailisi cleared her throat, then turned around and asked Saleen,
Master, what do we do now? Look for the Divine Crystal first, or to look for the exit route?

Saleen furrowed his brows. He definitely craved for the Divine Crystal. This item was usually gifted to the clergy by the Holy See, it could notbe bought anywhere else. The problem was that the Lorga Maze was a dead land, and Saleen did not want to waste time here.

Lex, what do you think?

Saleen pushed the problem to Lex. Lex also hesitated. No matter how good the Divine Crystal was, it would not be as important as the seeds of the divine trees. If she obtained the Divine Crystal, she could unleash more power from the God’s Ring. She also would not have to wait one year for the ring to replenish the consumed energy.

Let’s look for the Divine Crystal first. Lorga City is hostile to outsiders. With the Divine Crystal, we will have more of the goddess’ scent, in case we get assaulted by the guards. This guard might be weak, but it doesn’t mean that the ones behind are the same too.
Lex could not stave off the temptation either, she decided to look for the Divine Crystal first.
Lex was not greedy, but the grain-sized Divine Crystal would allow her to control all the abilities of the God’s Ring immediately. If she could control this piece of godly equipment, then she wouldn’t need to keep avoiding the Holy See’s forces already.
Saleen did not raise any objections. When he asked for Lex’s opinion, he already knew that Lex would make such a choice. It was no longer important whether Lex’s words made sense or not, the important thing was that a Divine Crystal was ten-thousand times more precious than a high level magic nucleus.
The Holy See had more than a billion followers, but the Divine Crystal precipitated annually from the Glorious City was only slightly larger than a sesame seed. A Divine Crystal was different from a magic nucleus, there was no grading classification. If the number of believers was insufficient and they had inadequate purity, the Divine Crystal could not be produced.

Tolesi, how many guards are there in the Lorga City?
Saleen was meticulous, he knew that demons could not be dealt with easily, they had to be hiding some things. It was okay to conceal certain information, because Nailisi would extract it sooner or later. He had to know the number of guards in the city though.

Master, there is only one living guard.


What about the ones who are dead?


One-hundred and twenty-seven-thousand of them.

Saleen was extremely pleased with Tolesi’s skills. In the time taken for a breath, he had already obtained all information from the demonic spirit. In the future, all interrogation tasks could be delegated to him already. The only problem was that Tolesi was not as attached to Saleen like how Nailisi was, and he also was not as loyal.
One-hundred and twenty-seven-thousand guards. Even if all the guards were at the standard of this demonic spirit, it was also a massive headache. These guards were merely the pitiful things which the goddess adopted. On the Myers mainland, without protection by the goddess, these guards would be killed immediately after creating trouble. With the passing of time, no one on Myers mainland today could deal with so many guards simultaneously.

The Divine Crystal isn’t protected by the living guard right?
Lex suddenly asked.
Tolesi hesitated for a moment, then said,
The living guard is guarding the exit.

Everyone cast their gaze on Tolesi at the same time, this piece of news was indeed devastating.

What do you know about that guard?
Saleen began growing impatient at this kind of questioning, so his tone had become frosty.
Tolesi glanced at Nailisi, then said,
It is a grade-10 supreme demon.

Other than Saleen and Lex, everyone else experienced despair taking root in their hearts.
A grade-10 supreme demon?
Even if one had thousands of soldiers and horses, they could not handle such a creature too.
Lex thought to herself,
Seems like the God’s Ring have to be utilized already.

On the other hand, Saleen was thinking that the God’s Ring should be able to protect everyone after the Divine Crystal was obtained.
It seems like the clan badge has to be used to handle the appearance of this supreme demon.

Even Saleen’s Crystal Finger could not handle a grade-10 supreme demon. Unless he had a sacrificial spirit, whereby he could unleash the greatest might of the Crystal Finger to kill the supreme demon, and kill himself in the process.
It must be noted that all spells below level-6 were useless against a grade-10 creature. Lex could force herself to cast a level-7 spell, but it was highly likely that the supreme demon was already immune to it.
Nailisi possessed the strength of a dragon, but a grade-10 supreme demon could fight the presence of a dragon alone. Nailisi’s strength of a dragon was not really the power of a dragon, otherwise she would not have lost to Sika in terms of strength. As for the four demons, their faces lost all color the moment they heard about the grade-10 supreme demon.

Tolesi, where is the Divine Crystal?
Saleen disrupted the awkward atmosphere, he could feel the morale going downhill.

At the center of the city. We can find it by following the instructions in the holy prose.


Eleanor, you and Tolesi shall lead the way. Cuisi, protect them.
Saleen slanted his body, then told Lex,
I will handle the supreme demon. Just ask your guys to create a three frames window for me, I have to lock my aim onto the target.


Why don’t you use my power?
Lex thought that Saleen was going to use the Crystal Finger. She knew the jeopardy of such a skill. Previously, Saleen had sustained grave injuries in the duel with the adjudicator from the inquisition. Thus, Saleen might not survive the battle with the grade-10 supreme demon.

Don’t worry, I am in no danger.
Saleen smiled, he noticed that the rest of the people had calmed down. He was a mage, so he would only say things which he was confident of. Even though Lex’s men would not trust Saleen blindly, they knew that both Saleen and Lex had tricks to deal with the supreme demon after listening to their conversation.
By now, Saleen could easily execute the trick to soothe people’s emotions. The four demons were still jittery, a human would never be able to relieve their fears of a supreme demon.
Nailisi was actually jubilant. No matter what, she had to devour this supreme demon. A grade-10 demon would allow her to gain a new ability.
As for the method to kill the supreme demon, it would have to depend on her master already. Nailisi knew that her master had a horrifying attack technique which was way mightier than the Crystal Finger.
Tolesi paired up with Eleanor reluctantly. Eleanor had studied holy texts. This city was barren, but the structures were in fact very dense. As the far as the eye could observe, holy proses and weird symbols filled the place. As demons did not understand holy texts, Eleanor had to explain it to Tolesi one by one, then she would compare it with information Tolesi got from the demonic spirit. Thereafter, Eleanor would search for the route into the center of the city.
Only the believers of the goddess would be able to enter and exit this city freely. Saleen had a premonition that he could leave the city if he casted a divine spell. He was not sure if he could take the rest of the people with him though.
Lorga’s style was widely different from Qin’s. Buildings on both sides of the street were mostly made from wood. If it was not for the invisible cover in the sky above the city, all these structures would have decomposed already. The wooden structures were also taller than some magic buildings. Saleen exerted his perception outwards. He realized that these buildings were not blessed by divinity, it’s just that their architecture was abnormally perfect. It was like layers and layers of complex magic arrays built atop one another.
The believers of the goddess and those adopted guards once lived in these buildings. The feeling Saleen got was that this was a dead city though. Even though there were many powerful forces veiled by the many images of holy texts, these forces were already not much different from the three spirit kings.
Lorga, once known as the city of beliefs…
