After Hero was scratched by shrapnel, he hid behind a boulder that fell due to a collapse.
The [Kanya Mine] is simply clamped by the underground plate, and it itself is extremely strong.
The explosion just caused only a partial collapse. There was no gap between the mines and there was no tendency to expand. It did not affect the entire passage.
Hero pulled off the left half of the sleeve of his apprentice robe and wrapped it around to cover the wound on the right half of his body.
The sleeve on the right had long been torn to pieces by the shrapnel storm, but if the injury was not covered, the dense strands of flesh clinging and entangled between the flesh would surprise Byrne, and it would be difficult for him to explain.
When the dust caused by the collapse dispersed, Holo fired a [Moon Energy Explosion] inside.
But he didn't hear the feedback. After sensing the remaining soul energy in his body, Holo held on to his body and shouted to Byrne:
"Byrne, I don't have any soul power anymore, so it's up to you to do the next thing."
"learn!"
After seeing the power of [Tesla Grenade]'s continuous explosions, his mentality has completely changed.
What kind of monster? It just doesn't have enough firepower.
Byrne summoned a new [Wind Soul Arrow] and waited for the dust to completely dissipate before delivering a fatal blow.
It’s just that Holo always felt that something was not quite right.
He grabbed the demon's head that contained the nightmare soul and asked:
"If it's a corpse, can you take it?"
There is only one head left, and there is no way to shake the head:
"No...we have to use his soul to control the body. In that case, the soul cannot be swallowed and digested immediately. We have to eat it bite by bite. When we fully control the body, that is the moment when his soul dissipates."
Hero spread his hands.
"It seems there is no fate. The skeleton just now must have died. At least I didn't sense any traces of his life."
But this time it was Nightmare Soul's turn to be stunned...
"But I clearly feel that his soul still exists..."
"What?!"
As soon as Byrne's shocked voice fell, the buried clods of soil were lifted up one after another.
"I just said that something seems to be missing... It is not something that should be done using the inertial thinking of a magician apprentice to fight a magician of a higher level."
He had forgotten that a magician of a certain rank would most likely already have a soul beast that his soul could contain.
In other words, what is breaking out of the ground now is not the skeleton's weak body.
And it might be a big scary monster.
"Is this the strength of a rank magician?"
Hero, who hid his body behind the boulder, was completely shocked by the big guy who came out next.
That weird body shape was far beyond what he knew as a normal spirit beast, let alone being ferocious or terrifying.
The weird shape alone was enough to shock Hero.
A pure white baby monster.
Holo felt like a mimic, like a caterpillar, but the head really had the face of a baby, and the plump little mouth kept opening and closing, exuding a trace of white air.
It was the round head that broke through the collapse of the ore, and the milky white body emerged from the inside.
The pupil-less eyes stared intently at Byrne, who had no time to hide.
only...
However, Holo was keenly aware that this baby-faced monster did not have pupils at all. There were white dots all over the eyes, which kept turning around as Byrne moved.
All the white spots are his pupils!
There is no blind spot at 360 degrees, and even Hero's appearance was discovered by him.
Some of the white dots in the left eye are actually separated from the other white dots.
Just monitoring Holo's movements.
Gu Long Gu Long~
The fat insect feet trampled on the rocks, crushing them instantly, and the strange sound of plowing through the hard soil of the mine made Byrne, who was right in front of him, a little panicked.
Fortunately, compared to the movements of the larger man, Byrne was still more agile. He jumped on his knees, took a few steps with the help of the collapsed stones, and easily passed the baby monster that hit him.
Like a spider, it clings to the stone wall with only its limbs.
Seven [Wind Soul Arrows] took advantage of this opportunity and shot out.
The monster's head hammer penetrated the thick stone and even made a deep hole in the ground.
The baby-faced monster's skin is fully filled with internal fat, which has a good defensive effect on large-area rocks. However, for Byrne's arrows, the tension is insufficient, and the force is concentrated on one point and is easy to break.
The seven arrows penetrated deeply into the body of the strange insect until the tail feathers were no longer visible.
But... what flowed out from the body surface was a touch of white liquid, and the strange insect did not feel any pain or injury.
The white liquid dripped onto the ground, making a corrosive sound.
Soon there were several small holes in the ground.
"Be careful, Byrne!"
On the surface, Byrne does have an advantage.
Not only is it flexible, it can also break defenses and cause damage.
But... there's a problem.
Even if the arrow is only shot into the body of the monster insect, there will be no impact at all in the short term.
The hole pierced by the arrow was refilled with white liquid in just an instant, and then solidified, turning into a new piece of skin.
It looked like the arrows were corroded and melted by the liquid inside.
But seeing Bai Endong hiding from XZ, the baby-faced monster seemed a little impatient.
The huge baby-faced bug head adjusted to an angle, and with the white liquid dripping from the corner of its mouth, Hero reminded him again.
Byrne also knew something was wrong, but there was no room for him to escape.
puff!
Just like a baby squirting milk, a large amount of atomized white liquid sprayed out from the monster's plump mouth.
"damn it!"
Under the pressure brewed in the mouthparts of the strange insect, the white mist covered the entire space where Byrne was.
The angle is so good.
This seemingly stupid insect is actually very scheming.
The previous headbutt was just to force Byrne to move. When he reached the blind corner, it was time for the fatal blow.
If it were an open area, white liquid would drip from the corner of his mouth, revealing a flaw.
With Byrne's speed, he can definitely distance himself and use arrows to attack from a distance.
in a duo.
Hero's positioning is more focused on [control] and [attacking].
Only by cooperating with his teammates can he fully unleash his strength.
And Byrne's harassment and speed can attract the target's hatred to a great extent.
Leave enough time for Hero to accumulate enough power to deliver a fatal blow to the target.
But in this situation, Byrne has been touched by the large white mist on his body surface, and even a few sunken holes have been corroded on his face.
'We have to do something. He can escape this time, but it will be hard to say next time. '
The strange insect has adjusted its body shape and blocked Byrne's passage leading to Helo.
If you want to escape, you can only go to the place where it collapsed just now.
But... there is a skeleton magician there who doesn't know what's going on.
Nightmare Soul just said that he could clearly feel it!
Anyway, the bug had already discovered it before, so Hero simply stood up from behind the boulder.
The fracture on the right side of the body has not been completely repaired, and the pain can still be felt when Hero pulls it a little.
Shouted to Byrne:
"Byrne! Follow the plan!"
The apprentice robe blocked most of the white mist, but it could only be done once. The next white mist could only be caught by Byrne with his own body.
After hearing Hero's reminder, he turned around and ran away, ignoring the roar of the insect.
This was planned before they came here. Although the situation has changed, Byrne should be able to understand it.
Although when Hero proposed the plan, Byrne retorted:
"It's too dangerous, you'll die."
"I'm sure. If no one comes out to act as bait, we will both die in the end! Why not fight!"
.......
Hero is not a warm-hearted person.
When encountering a strong enemy, he will only consider his own life and not care about other things.
But this time, he didn't feel that the opponent was invincible!
The madness factor in his blood began to boil again.
Skeleton magician?
You are not a big octopus that can stir up the sea and the sky!
While Byrne went to find the skeleton magician, Hero picked up the head where the nightmare soul was.
"You definitely don't have the strength to swallow that soul now. How about I help you and then let you go free?"
Nightmare Soul was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still reacted.
"How can I help? [Swallowing Nightmare Complete Appearance] needs to accumulate soul power. There are no extra souls here?"
"Mine is for you."
In the module system, there is a flashing green light.
[Recovery] [Amplification effect: Consume the soul and recover the physical damage; consume the body and recover the soul damage +1]
'add a bit! '
"...+2"
"...+3"
As the body collapsed, the twisted consciousness curled up in the soul began to move, and Holo felt like he had understood something.
