Chapter 922 Seal? Crystal Sword!

"Be careful in front, you bastard in front!!"

"I know, please stop being wordy."

In the chaos, I carried Gott and fled around, avoiding the magma attack that came like a bullet.

Although Moon Wolf's speed has an absolute advantage, what's sad is that the structure of the temple is not straight, and the winding roads severely limit my speed. On the other side of the unknown, I can only see one eye and A demon with fins, but it can swim freely in the sea of ​​lava, and it seems to be quite familiar with the structure here.

Therefore, it often happens that when I circle around, the demon has already swam straight ahead to ask you to enter the urn. Although until now, I don’t know whether it has not recovered its strength or something, it just keeps slapping the molten lava to attack us. But the situation is not optimistic.

Because...well, we're lost.

This time, the demon rolled its huge body wantonly and slapped a row of huge waves of molten lava over. What was even more unfortunate was that, as we went around, we actually detoured to a dead end. In front of us was an endless expanse of dark red molten water. Sea of ​​pulp.

Although it is not impossible to break through the huge wave of lava behind, it is useless even if it is broken. The devil behind us has transformed into a demolition office. The places we escaped were all collapsed and destroyed by it. Poor those who live here. The King of Blood and the Witch of Styx didn't even know what happened, and their home was demolished. What was even more pitiful was that he also fell into the sea of ​​molten water. After struggling for his life for a moment, his head gradually sank. Go down, and finally be swallowed by the sea of ​​molten magma.

Therefore, even if I smash this giant wave of magma, what appears behind us is just an empty sea of ​​magma, and of course, there are the fins of the demon swimming around.

There is no way forward and there are pursuers behind. This is the situation we are facing now.

What a misfortune! !

"It's finished, by the way, the scroll to return to the city, the scroll to return to the city."

At this moment, Gao Te seemed to have just remembered that he still had this thing, and hurriedly groped around on his body.

"That's too late."

The scalding heat was already pressing into my back, and I sighed helplessly, carrying the screaming Gott, and jumped forward high.

"Um...Wu, can you tell me that you can fly in this form?"

In mid-air, Gott looked at the bubbling sea of ​​molten water beneath his feet, his body and voice a little stiff.

"Sorry, can't." I shrugged.

"No, I don't want to die, I want to go naked to the river a few more times, bastard!!"

Seeing that under the influence of gravity, the body was constantly getting closer to the sea of ​​molten metal, Gaut screamed and struggled.

"I said, before you die, can't you think about Sister Lina?"

I was seriously speechless about this orangutan, how obsessed he was with running naked by the river.

"Don't worry, as for Lina, I will always miss her even after I die, so it doesn't matter."

Looking back, Gott gave me a thumbs up heartily. At this time, the orangutan finally said something like a man.

Not alive...

"Isn't this good? Sister Lina will have nightmares every night, so you'd better go to heaven as soon as possible."

"You are saying that I will become a wraith, right? That's right, you bastard!!"

Gao Te unexpectedly and cleverly noticed the meaning of my words, and couldn't help but glare at me.

Then, after a long glide, we were finally about to fall into the sea of ​​scalding lava.

At the moment when Yue Lang's toes touched the sea of ​​magma, suddenly, the molten water with a temperature of several thousand degrees was abruptly changed from extremely hot to extremely cold, and an ice condensation phenomenon occurred. Centered on the point where the toes touched, An ice floe that was half a square meter in size unexpectedly appeared in this sea of ​​extremely high temperature magma.

Then, lighting the ice floe, I jumped up again. The moment my toes left, the small ice floe was like a flash in the pan, and its beauty was immediately melted and swallowed up.

"Hahahaha, Wu, I knew you had a way." Gaut burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

"..."

Who was just wailing and wailing that he wanted to run naked by the river a few more times before dying?

"But then again, Wu, why don't you turn into that stuffed bear? Then wouldn't you be able to fly?"

Gott pondered in his heart for a while, and finally asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"Oh, that's how it is."

I thought about it for a while, then suddenly realized.

"It turns out it can still be like this."

"You idiot, you actually called me an idiot. I think you are more stupid than me." Gott's big mouth immediately launched a taunt without hesitation, not knowing that his life was now in my hands. superior.

"I suddenly feel itchy on my back. Senior Gott, do you think I should grab it with my right hand or my left hand?"

I asked coldly as I shook my left hand holding Gaote slightly.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was the fool."

Probably because Karina had already had this experience countless times, Gott responded quickly and apologized.

It would be much more convenient to transform into a Hell Fighting Bear and be able to fly. How could I not have thought of that? It's just that I haven't used the Moon Wolf transformation for a long time, and I want to stretch my shins to see if the sword is still old.

As a result, he was in good condition. Of course, he was not stimulated to improve his strength due to the breakthrough in the field around the bear man. He still maintained the appearance of a pseudo-field advanced level, which was a bit disappointing.

"Seriously, Wu, are you really not going to deal with that demon behind you?"

Just when I was thinking about when to switch to Hell Fighting Bear transformation, Gott, who was being carried below, suddenly raised his head and stared at me, and asked with a slightly serious look.

"To be honest, I really have no such plans."

I don't know how many times I sighed helplessly, but I shrugged my shoulders and answered.

Regarding this demon, I had a question in my mind from the moment it appeared. After such a long period of chasing and observing, Gott and I both saw something and guessed something.

This space, to be precise, should be the projection of a certain area in hell. It seems that my crow's mouth was right. The reason for the projection is because in the geographical area mapped by this projection area, there is a very A powerful existence, as powerful as Diavolo, enough to use its own power to interfere with the world and project its area into the Dark Continent. However, this demon does not live here like Diavolo. This place is sealed in this place.

It can be seen from its appearance when the seal was released that it was possible that Mephisto, one of the three demon gods, sealed him here. For what reason was it sealed here by another great demon? This is It's not something I can know anymore.

Closer to home, based on these judgments, we can draw a conclusion that this Styx Cave is just a projection of a certain area of ​​hell. Then, the demon behind the seal that Gott unintentionally unsealed is, at best, nothing more than a projection. Forget it, this also explains why it is chasing after us and launches attacks that are painless and innocuous. If it were really an entity, Gott and I would have been pinched a long time ago.

If it's just a projection, then you can breathe a sigh of relief. The three demon gods are equally strong, right? Aren't their projections being rubbed around by adventurers? Not to mention me, even Gott can easily kill it on his own.

I ran for so long just to confirm this guess, and to observe by the way, so that I could go back and explain to Akara. After all, it was us who caused the trouble. If we just said with a smile, "I'm sorry, what will we look like?" A demonic projection of the level of a demon with unknown strength was released." He would definitely be hit on the head with her cane.

"It's just a projection, so don't be polite to me. Go ahead. If I kill it, be careful to only explode one gold coin, one gold coin!!"

Gott emphasized that he would not hesitate to expose his scars and pains and let me see this kind of [good news].

"Wouldn't this satisfy your regret? So you'd better go ahead."

I glared at Gott, who was laughing endlessly, and this guy actually encouraged me.

Although it is only a demon-level projection, and if it is really sealed by Mephisto, its strength should be lower than Mephisto's, and it seems to be easier to deal with than Mephisto's projection.

However, this is just a matter of course, and these are not enough to explain that it can be kneaded so easily.

First of all, for example, the strength of the three demon gods should be about the same, and the difference should not be very big. However, their respective projections in the first world have completely different strengths. From this, it can be seen that even if The strength of this unknown demon is lower than Mephisto, but the projection it appears here may not be lower than Baal's projection.

The second point is that this demon has been sealed for an unknown period of time, and it must have accumulated some strength even if it is projected. To put it simply, like many animated game novels, the guys who just appeared are very powerful, and they will become more powerful in the future. A master of the bench.

Now, Gott and I are just like those characters who were randomly drawn with simple lines to enhance the shocking image of the characters who appeared for the first time. The appearance only lasted for one second and was killed instantly with only one line: "Ah~~~~~~~ ~!!" The screams were as tragic as a supporting role.

Of course, on the other hand, since it is my first appearance, if I can counterattack, the reward will be extra high. Maybe I can make a big comeback and rise from a tragic supporting role to a supporting role on the bench in one fell swoop. Maybe he can even show up in the color photo on the page... Ahem, the metaphor is too much. To put it simply, if this guy is killed, the explosion rate will be much higher.

Well, actually, the above two points are not enough reasons for me and Gott to give in. The last point is the most critical.

That's... because this is a sea of ​​magma.

Obviously, this sea of ​​molten lava is the territory of this demon. Haven't you heard a very cool saying?

My game, my turf, my rules! !

If we were on land, no matter how powerful this demonic projection was, it would not be an opponent of Gott in the pseudo-domain realm. But now, even if I just let go of my hand, Gott's life would be over. There is no need for the demon to take action himself.

This is the same as Hadi, the six-winged dragon king. If the battlefield is on the sea, he can't help the four-winged mermaid king Exia. Of course, the difference is that Exia relies on The special power of the mermaid royal family - the summoning of the Sea King, and this demon relies on the deterrence of this sea of ​​molten metal.

"Hey, why can't the devils in this world be more stupid?"

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but sigh countless times. I missed the many games in the original world. Now that I think about it, the bosses in those games were so silly and cute.

No matter what, it will leave you with a place to stand, allowing you to torture it through all kinds of despicable methods. But here, let me tell you, even a projection knows to make you have no place to stand first.

Of course, if I have to do this, it's not that I don't have the ability to kill it, it's just that the cost is far from worth it, and there are all kinds of helplessness in it.

For example, this demon can perform diving combat. Although the Hell Fighting Bear can also jump into the lava without being harmed, but so what? I don’t think it’s okay to deal with such a devil as flexible as a shark in the extremely hot and dark red lava world where everything is difficult to see. I’m lucky not to be bitten on the bear’s butt.

Then, even if you kill this demon, you will never be able to pick up the items dropped by the explosion in the sea of ​​lava. This is the reason why I have no motivation the most.

In the end, it is useless even if I kill it now, the seal has been broken, and it can be resurrected infinitely like an ordinary demon projection.

After all these comprehensive considerations, I finally chose to run away without interest. This demonic projection thief was so slippery that he actually knew tactics and knew that he could fully rely on the right location to destroy the lava rock we were based on first, and then replace it with another one. As an ordinary adventurer, even a strong man like Gott would probably hold grudges at the hands of such a small demon projection. Fortunately, I met him. I don’t know if it’s my bad luck or this demon’s. Bad luck, there is a smell of tragedy all around, and you can faintly feel that the devil behind is also very depressed.

Hmm, it turns out that my tragedy aura can also affect the enemy.

"Gorilla, do you remember which direction the exit is?"

Jumping around in a dark red ocean, I looked around and asked a little uneasily.

"God knows."

Gott shrugged his shoulders.

"Then we have no choice but to use the scroll to return to the city."

As soon as I finished speaking, I gathered a small icy decapitation sword in my hand and threw it hard at the lava.

Under the powerful freezing energy of the Ice Beheading Sword, a floating cloud of a hundred meters square suddenly condensed on the sea of ​​molten water where it was dropped. The Ice Beheading Sword continuously outputs freezing power. This floating ice is in It is impossible for the decapitating sword to be melted before it disappears.

Landing steadily on the ice floe, I was put down by Gott, who had been carrying me like a chicken for half an hour.

"You can use the scroll to return to the city first. I'll be there soon."

After saying this to Gott, I turned around and looked at the fins that were exposed on the sea surface and rushing straight towards us, and a small ice decapitation sword condensed in my hand again.

If this devil doesn't know what's going on, I don't mind giving it a hint.

As if feeling the power of the Ice Decapitation Sword, the speed of the demon rushing up suddenly slowed down, then turned around and began to circle maliciously on the sea surface hundreds of meters away from the ice floe. It was really like Sharks are no different.

Taking advantage of this time, Gott took out the scroll to return to the city and prepared to leave.

It's a pity that for such a good leveling location, with this cunning demon around, it's impossible for Willas and the others to come to the Styx Cave again.

"Huh?!"

Just when I was secretly feeling pity, suddenly, Gott behind me let out an exclamation, followed by a clang, the crisp sound of some metal object falling to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

While paying attention to the demon's actions, I turned around and glanced at Gott curiously, and saw him scratching his head and looking at something on the ground in a daze.

"What's this?"

My eyes fell on the ground. It was a diamond-shaped crystal dagger. It looked a bit like the Skarsin blade that I helped that dead Indian Asan retrieve in Kurast. It was also called Gidebin. The core of the magical defense system of Kurast Harbor.

This crystal dagger is about one meter long, which is longer than Gidbin. It is not considered short even if it is called a dagger.

"Oh, this thing."

Gott grabbed his head, picked up the dagger, and looked at it up and down.

"I don't know. When the seal was opened and it was ejected, I grabbed it casually in my hand. Later, in a hurry to escape, I stuffed it into the inventory."

"Huh?!"

Just after I finished speaking, Gaut, who was looking at the crystal dagger carefully, let out another exclamation before I could say anything.

"This short sword..."

Hesitantly, he said.

"It seems to be used to seal that guy."

"How did you tell?"

I already had a certain understanding of this orangutan's ability to speak, so now I was full of disbelief.

"After all, I have also received some magic instruction in the training camp. Karina always forces me to learn this and that, so I still know a little bit about it."

Gott laughed triumphantly.

"Look, does the magic texture on this look like a sealing magic circle? Although I'm not sure."

Gott brought the crystal dagger towards me, his eyes were full of questions, as if he thought that as a druid who was half a mage, and as an elder of the alliance, I should know better than him.

"Ha...ah haha, yes...yes. Although I'm not sure, it does look like it."

I saw the complex magic lines on the sword, and I went into pretending to be stupid mode.

"Maybe we can use this dagger to seal this demon again."

Gott's eyes lit up and he murmured.

"real."

When he said this, I was moved. After all, it was the two of us who released this demon. If we could solve it ourselves, we probably wouldn't be reprimanded even if we talked to Akara afterwards.

"The problem is how to use it. Don't tell me to just throw it at the devil's head." I gestured like throwing an elf ball and looked at Gott.

"Of course it's impossible, let me see..."

Gott studied it carefully for a while, while I continued to stare at the demon's actions, while adding an extra ice decapitation sword to the ice floe under my feet.

After a moment, Gott raised his head, his eyes still full of doubts.

"I don't know. Alas, if I had known this, I should have learned it more seriously when Lina taught magic."

After a pause, he continued.

"However, there seems to be some clues on the hilt of the sword..."

As he spoke, he gestured with the hilt of the sword, and after taking a look, I found that the shape of the hilt was like a devil's claw, with three claws extending out from the end, as if it was grasping something.

Well, like an inlay.

Anyone who is an adventurer will subconsciously flash this idea when they see this look.

"Is it enough to set gems on it?"

"Who knows, maybe this dagger is only the core part of the entire seal, or just a part of the core of the seal. It also needs the assistance of other magic arrays or items to achieve the sealing effect."

Gott scratched his head in pain. At this moment, we deeply felt the distress of not having a mage around us. It would have been better if we had brought Karina with us.

"Forget it, let's give it a try anyway. The worst thing is failure."

Saying this, I took the crystal dagger from Gott's hand, looked at the inlay at the end of the hilt, thought about it, and stuffed a full-grade gem into it.

This devil's claw seemed to have consciousness. The moment the gem approached, it slowly opened a hole just big enough to accommodate the complete gem. After I put the gem in, the claws tightened again and held the gem firmly. inlaid on it.

There is drama.

Seeing this scene, Gott and I looked at each other and both laughed.

This is not the first time I have seen this kind of special inlay opening. Its function is that it has strong applicability. From broken gems to perfect gems, it can be inlaid in it and play a role.

What to do next? The last resort is to use this dagger inlaid with gems to directly attack the opponent to see if it will have any effect. If it has no effect, leave immediately.

Secretly making up my mind, I took a step forward, from passive defense to active observation of the devil's every move, waiting for the opportunity to give it a blow.

Once again, I replenished the energy of the Ice Decapitation Sword to the ice floe under my feet. I canceled the Moon Wolf transformation and transformed into a Hell Fighting Bear without any noise. If there was too much noise, I would let the cunning demon on the other side know about us. If you don't have the strength to run away, then the gain outweighs the loss. Aiming at the demon circling around us, I paused for a moment when turning the corner. I suddenly jumped up and quickly approached the opponent. At the same time, the field also exploded, extending to the demon's side.

Teleport!

From jumping up and approaching, to field explosion, and then teleporting, it was just a matter of a blink of an eye. In this short period of time, the demon had just completed the cornering movement and had not yet fully realized what was going on.

At this time, my figure had appeared directly above its only exposed fin. I grabbed the crystal dagger and turned it into a white light and stabbed it straight.

"Pfft", the dull sound of the sharp weapon piercing the body, and the familiar force coming from my hand, made me immediately judge that the crystal dagger had hit the demon's body.

“Kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick-kick!!”

At the moment of piercing, time seemed to pause for a moment, everything stopped, and then the next moment, a huge force suddenly came from the hand, accompanied by the ear-piercing "kick-kick-kick" scream of the demon, The moment the dagger pierced the body, the demon gave out a huge reaction that would have been impossible to have just been stabbed by such a toothpick-like dagger compared to its huge size.

I saw that its huge body, which had been hidden under the sea of ​​magma, suddenly bounced. With this fierce movement, it jumped high from the sea of ​​magma, showing it to us for the first time. Huge and ferocious face.

Just as I guessed, the overall appearance of this demon is really like a fish, like a... uh, saury magnified tens of thousands of times, maybe like this.

Of course, if it is just like this, it is far from being called ferocious. It has the body shape of a saury, but its dorsal fin is like a shark. Under this dorsal fin, there are a pair of fleshy wings on both sides. It is usually found in the molten sea. It was probably restrained when moving inside, and it only stretches out now when it leaps high.

Then, on the lower abdomen, four more claws stretched out, some are long or short, making people feel that it can stand upright and move on the ground like a fishman.

Finally, there is the crocodile-like head, the mouth is full of serrations, the tail is also covered with bone spurs, and the silver fish scales reflect the dark red luster, making the image of this demon even more terrifying.

"..."

When I saw the projection of this demon-level monster, my first reaction was - why are the guys who have reached the demon-god realm so curious? Mephisto is like this, Baal is like this, and Diavolo is a little better. Could it be that after reaching this realm, they will all become perverts with strange hobbies and tastes?

If this is the case, then will Tarasha, who has the strength to compete with the devil, look very...

Just when I was making such malicious guesses, the crystal dagger that was firmly grasped in my hand suddenly emitted an evil black light. Circles of black light were like a fishing net, coming from the part where the dagger penetrated. It spread rapidly, trying to restrain this strange [Devil Saury].

The demon leaping into the air was naturally unwilling to do so. It made a strange "kick-kick-kick" cry angrily, and at the same time, it flapped its fleshy wings vigorously on both sides, trying to break the black energy threads wrapped around its body.

It seems to work.

Seeing this scene, Gott and I were overjoyed.

But before he could be happy for a second, the crystal dagger in his hand, the complete gem inlaid on the hilt, suddenly dimmed and then shattered.

As the gems shattered, the black light that originally tightly bound the demons faded away like the tide.

"Wu, we can't let it go back into the sea!!"

On the ice floe in the distance, Gott reminded me loudly.

I know it without you telling me! !

I rolled my eyes and watched the gems that turned into powder scatter.

There is only one explanation for this, and that is that the energy of the gem has been used up. The power of a complete gem is not enough to restrain this demon.

Seeing that this demon was about to return to the sea of ​​magma, I gritted my teeth and took out a cold blue gem from a clean corner of the inventory.

Go ahead and show this devil the power of the upstart! !

With a distressed roar, I set the perfect sapphire in my hand on the hilt of the sword, raised the dagger again, and immersed the entire sword blade, which exuded a bright cold light, into the body of the saury demon.

Energy threads shining with strange black light spread out from the dagger again. The number and size were dozens of times that of the first time. This time, the demon didn't even have time to scream, and was overwhelmed. The black thread covered it, and then, like a net, it was shrunk and sucked into the dagger.

"Huh~~~"

Down to earth, Gott and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally made up for it.

"Wu, look quickly."

Gaut suddenly pointed at the crystal dagger in my hand, glowing with black and blue light.

Originally, the short sword used to seal the demon had no attributes, but after absorbing the demon, it now seems to have a different feeling...
