World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1454 - 337: Demon God Altar (Part 2)
Until the end, after everyone circled the mountains riding on the frost giant dragons, it was almost impossible to find the figure of a living saw-toothed demon anymore.
"Amazing... So this is the effect of the Holy Attribute restraining the Demon Clan... It’s no wonder that being would annihilate a race with such power..."
Ziwei murmured in admiration upon seeing the effects of the rain.
Her words reminded Zhang Xiaoman of Holy Angel Naphaya.
Could the race she mentioned be the Holy Light Angel race?
He remembered that he once heard Naphaya talk about a similar experience.
Their race seemed to have been annihilated by the Demon Lord, even a former Lower Extraordinary Level existence, the Holy Master of the Holy Light Angel race, fell victim.
Shaking his head to not think about these things, Zhang Xiaoman decided to first deal with the task at hand.
Holy Light Covering Spirit Rain is a Special Ability that fuses the use of Holy Water.
It operates by amplifying the effects of Holy Water using the Dark Spirit Formula to extend and sustain, effectively causing damage to demon units within range.
However, its drawbacks are also obvious in that it can only be used on demon units.
As Ziwei previously suspected, this rain actually has no damaging effect. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Even for ordinary humans and animals, it is no different from regular water.
Of course, this rain isn’t completely without any other effects.
At least it can indiscriminately provide a minute amount of dark spirit recovery effect to units within the range, which might come in handy during large-scale battles.
"Master, how long can this rain last?"
The Undead Princess Hillna voiced her doubt, which was the most critical issue at hand.
In this abyss, the quantity of demon clans is far from what they had seen.
Beyond the range of the rain, they could vaguely sense more saw-toothed demons eyeing this place covetously.
They aren’t able to come over now due to the presence of this Covering Spirit Rain.
But once the rain stops, it wouldn’t take long for the demon clans to reclaim this place, rendering previous efforts futile.
"How long will it take for you to finish mining the ore here?"
Zhang Xiaoman responded with a question instead.
"Ghost ores are mostly open-pit mines, and although my clansmen are skilled in Evil Spirit Magic, they also have some research into Earth Magic. If we use Earth Magic for mining, we should be able to finish in three days..."
Hillna answered, which was the fastest speed they could achieve.
"Using Earth Magic to assist with mining, huh..."
Zhang Xiaoman stroked his chin thoughtfully, then said:
"Three days is too long, this rain can only last up to 4 hours, I have some casting materials, should be able to bring down two more rains, totaling 12 hours, accounting for travel time, we have about 10 hours for mining..."
"However, I also know some Earth Magic, and if I help you with the mining, 10 hours should be enough."
"10 hours..."
Hillna was slightly taken aback, then immediately thought of Zhang Xiaoman’s previously displayed abilities.
Whether it was the Wall of Sighs or the mountain-sized Elemental Puppets summoned on the planet’s surface, it was evident his proficiency in Earth Magic far exceeded theirs.
With his help, 10 hours might not be an impossible task.
Of course, everything they discussed was under the premise of preserving the integrity of the ores.
If it was merely about moving them, then a single Earth Divine Skill from Zhang Xiaoman could almost move all the rocks away.
But doing so would be meaningless.
Because once the Ghost Ores are damaged, the spirituality contained within is easily lost.
They must be sealed and preserved using special Dark Spirit Techniques, then refined and processed so the materials produced can meet spacecraft usage standards.
The plan was made and immediately set into action, as they couldn’t afford to waste any time, they had to act immediately.
Under the command of Hillna, over 300 high-level henchmen of the Undead Clan gathered around.
They transformed into miners and began digging into the mountains.
The undead were quite experienced in mining Ghost Ores.
They didn’t need Ziwei to guide them; their centuries of experience allowed them to protect the ores effectively and excavate them.
Zhang Xiaoman also joined in, and it must be said that using Earth Magic made the mining work significantly easier.
They almost didn’t need tools for excavation.
By chanting a spell, the rocks would begin moving on their own, transforming into natural conveyor belts to push the ores out one by one.
Zhang Xiaoman simply gestured with his finger, and under the influence of Earth Divine Skills, a massive rock snake formed from the ore veins emerged, delivering a large amount of Ghost Ores into their hands.
Ziwei, seemingly used to similar scenes, didn’t find it surprising.
Instead, she impatiently stomped her feet, feeling that everyone was moving too slowly.
"Ah, if only my Vortex-class mining machine was here, the high-energy light particle mining and conveyer technology could bring the ores back to the ship from 30 kilometers away, and a meteor over 200 kilometers in diameter would be finished in less than 10 minutes, none of this hassle..."
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her, ignoring her murmurs.
While he too felt the allure of the technology she described.
But just dreaming about it was pointless, no matter how impressive the technology is, it’s not useful now, it’s just an illusion.
Sensing the remaining time of the Covering Spirit Rain in the sky, he took out ten bottles of Holy Water from the storage ring, infused them with Dark Spiritual Power, and sent them into the sky.
This was the third rain.
Zhang Xiaoman had used up a total of thirty bottles of Holy Water, costing him nearly 100 points.
This made him quite distressed.
After all, being in a Different World requires points for many things, saving wherever possible is essential, and wasting is not an option.
But there was no choice in the current situation.
If the ores weren’t quickly mined, the remaining demons would return, costing him more effort.
The mining operation continued intensely when suddenly a high-level undead reported discovering something resembling an altar.
Zhang Xiaoman exchanged a glance with Ziwei, and they rushed to check it out.
Within a large mountain depression, a roughly 50-meter-high altar stood tilted on a slope.
A statue of a man cloaked completely stood on the altar, leaving only the eyes exposed, as if watching over the world.
"It’s... the statue of that Being..."
Upon seeing it, Ziwei exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaoman was also surprised, then carefully examined the altar.
From its appearance, it seemed to have existed for a long time.
Many parts of the altar were broken, showing scars left by weapons, but mostly it bore the marks of time and weathering.
"Is this the existence...?"
Zhang Xiaoman murmured softly.
Despite the cloak covering the figure’s face, this was his first time seeing the image of the Demon Lord.
"This must have been left a long time ago, and these materials are... Divine Casting Rock!?"
Ziwei cautiously approached, lightly brushing the altar, her expression changing slightly.
