In the mountains north of the royal capital, a magical light flickered above an open space, and three figures appeared on a teleportation array.
Lorenzo dusted himself off, glanced at the sun that was already hanging over the mountain, and said happily to a middle-aged wizard beside him, "Saint Sasuo, thanks to your efforts, today's exploration went really smoothly. It only took us half a day to break through the defenses in this relic. We will know the result after we open the door tomorrow. If we can find the Thousand Mantras and then comprehend the location of the Talisman Tower through the three holy books, the Talisman Tower will probably be the first holy tower to reappear."
"Letting you find the Tower of Talismans is both your teacher's last wish and our mission. Time is running out, and we must quickly bring the Tower of Talismans to life." Sasso was in a good mood and said with a relaxed expression, "Ikasa has estimated the time. If we can't achieve results within three years, human civilization will come to an end. Now we have to follow the footsteps of the saints of the seven towers and try to be heroes for once."
Lorenzo said solemnly, "Although I am not a true hero, I have a full understanding of gods and charlatans. I have spent several years in the Temple of Wisdom for the sake of the Record of Ten Thousand Formations, and I have a deep understanding of the ignorance and ridiculousness of those people. Saint Sosa, if I find the location of the Tower of Talismans, I will definitely open it to all mages who are willing to fight against the gods and the giant insect that parasitizes humans. We need all the forces willing to join in the fight against the gods."
"It's good that you can think this way. According to Ikasa's estimation, there may be many heirs of the seven towers among the Chinese who were deceived by you. After all, you are the only one who inherits the Tower of Talisman, but the heirs of the Tower of Dreams, the Tower of Stars and the Tower of Spirits have appeared in batches. The Tower of Origin and the Tower of Forging are also closely related to them. Perhaps the time of revival that the prophet mentioned is when the Chinese appear."
"As long as they don't cause me trouble, I'm willing to cooperate." Lorenzo laughed awkwardly, "Hehe, I really held back at that time."
"It would be great if the people in the capital could think like you." Sasso sighed, "Even the crisis at hand cannot make some people give up their petty ambitions."
Standing on the other side of the saint was Master Kona of the Spirit Refining Tower. He said, "I hope the situation in the capital will calm down soon. The king is no longer suitable for this era. If Prince Javier takes the throne, we can control most of the power in the capital and invest more resources in excavating the ruins."
"Yes, I have reached an agreement with the Empire's Saint Celia. The Empire and the Kingdom should not waste their strength on confrontation. This will all start from when we control the King." Sasso said as he walked towards the tent not far away, "I hope those nobles will realize this sooner and stop blocking our way..."
Saint Sasso paused.
Master Kona and Lorenzo were surprised to find a person in front of them. This was a short middle-aged man with a very short sword. He had one hand on the hilt and stared at Saint Sasso with sharp eyes.
"Saint Venegas!" Cona couldn't help but blurt out.
In the previous moment, the sword of the Qianren Sword Saint was still in the sheath, and in the next moment, the sword was out of the sheath. Countless sword marks like white lightning cut through the surrounding space and gathered towards the three mages. There is no such thing as "sure" in the battle between saints. If any saint wants to win the battle against another saint, the best way is to take advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and attack with all his strength.
Unlike what most people imagine, the battles between these truly powerful people are often not endless rounds. Most of these people possess powerful forces that touch the rules, and any small negligence may lead to irreparable consequences. Because of this, direct conflicts between saints rarely occur.
Facing the sword light, Sasso didn't say anything, but just uttered one word: "Go!"
As he finished speaking, the surrounding time and space suddenly slowed down. The swaying trees, the flying birds, the fallen leaves in the wind, the sword marks everywhere, and even the Thousand-Ren Sword Saint in front of them all seemed to be fixed. No, if you look closely, they are still in motion, but their speed has been slowed down to less than one percent in the eyes of Sasuo and the other two.
This is exactly why Sasso is called the Saint of Time: the holy spell Wheel of Time.
His spiritual power has reached the level of moving heaven and earth. After this level of spiritual power fills the surrounding area, through the saint's grasp of the rules of the world, it can greatly improve the effect of magic, and can change and control it at will. The Wheel of Time can greatly accelerate and decelerate time, which is irresistible and cannot be exempted. This is also the reason why he is recognized as one of the strongest saints in the world. Ordinary enemies have almost no power to resist such magic.
However, the Thousand-Ren Sword Saint was not so easy to deal with. Dense white light spots appeared around him. This was because he was using his Dou Qi field to counter Sasso's magic. The Dou Qi field could expel Sasso's mental power from the field, thus disintegrating the power of Saint-level magic. This was the fundamental reason why Saint-level warriors could fight against Saint-level mages. As more and more light spots appeared, Sasso's speed continued to increase, and his movements became more and more normal.
Master Kona and Lorenzo were not weaklings, and they had both cast offensive magic. Master Kona cast the Spirit Arrow, and Lorenzo cast the Word of Truth: Bind.
However, before they could complete the magic, Saint Sasso patted the two of them, and the half-released magic in their hands dissipated. Then, the light of a teleportation array appeared under the two of them and began to teleport away.
"Go to the capital and find out the situation. You are not qualified to interfere here."
"Yes, Saint Saso!" said Master Kona. Then they turned into points of light and dissipated into the air.
Sasso began to prepare the next magic: space storm, ready to give Benegas a fatal blow before he could break free from the magic. He was not nervous, as he already had the upper hand in this battle.
Now the surrounding space was locked by the Wheel of Time. He and Venegas were like being locked in a sealed room. Before the winner was decided, no one could disturb them through the Wheel of Time.
However, just as the space storm was forming, a beam of light came straight from the direction of the sun and instantly penetrated Sasso's heart.
