Although I don’t want to say it, this is probably a useful attack, right?
When the smoke dissipated, Marley's sleeves had been completely destroyed and turned into rags, but the gray-green color quickly receded from his skin.
Hmm... [Petrified Skin].
The innate magic taken from the iron-eating rhinoceros monster can temporarily make your skin as hard as ore. The strength is generally determined based on the minerals commonly used where Warcraft lives. If it is a special mineral, it is common to have both magic resistance and physical defense.
"You couldn't have swallowed something weird." I sighed.
"It did waste a lot of my efforts. After all, if you want to achieve it, you need a good appetite." Marley replied thoughtfully, as if he didn't know what it meant. "Of course, I didn't challenge it from the beginning. Isn’t it a more scientific approach to go from low to high and slowly adapt to the highest difficulty level?”
Is this a real humanoid beast?
It's outrageous.
"It's still damaged." I narrowed my eyes slightly, "Although I can't break through your defense, but relatively -"
His hands were trembling slightly.
Even with tough skin, there is still no way to avoid internal damage.
Marley stared at me and smiled.
"It's not perfect, or...there is nothing perfect in the first place."
"Even though I have conducted hundreds of experiments, even if I have fused hundreds of creatures, I am still faced with an astronomical number of combinations, and even if I have to say, I can't even see one ten thousandth of the completion. possible."
"It's just me, I can't wait any longer."
"On the contrary, I am the impatient person, because I discovered some...not very good things during my research on the demons." Marley's voice suddenly became a little deeper, and even his original face All the expressions on his face were gone at this moment.
"Maybe... I really should find someone knowledgeable to share my findings with, and then kill him."
I sighed and said, "This is no longer an idea. Isn't it already on the way to implementation?"
Marley looked directly at me and said, "Aren't you curious? What did I find on the demons?"
No, I'm not curious at all.
But if I'm going to waste time, I still have to listen to this guy who might be crazy.
"I'm curious, but - I probably don't have the qualifications right now." I forced a smile and didn't show any urgency, so that he wouldn't realize what I was really thinking.
"Indeed, the current situation-"
Marley said softly: "Are you waiting for your accomplice?"
He waved his hand, and a water mirror appeared in his hand. It seemed to show Nolan Lusi in a bitter battle, surrounded and attacked by layers of monsters.
"Look, this is what your companion looks like now. What do you think when you see such a scene?"
I suppressed the urge to twitch my eyes, and then looked at Marley with a look of shock.
"How, how is it possible? It shouldn't be——"
Of course this scene is fake. Even if half of the creatures in this house can hurt Nolan Lusi, he will have to appear in the newspaper tomorrow and be awarded a medal by the way. "About my battle with the devil and tips on dealing with the devil." Such a speech. No. 1
"So are you willing to listen to me now? In this... hopeless situation."
This time my eyes finally couldn't help but twitched violently.
How come this brain circuit is so long? Is it just for me to listen to stories? ? ?
"You - forget it, it's all the same." I pretended to be a little discouraged and sighed, "Maybe this is the end... right?"
Marley didn't say much, but the rock snake under his feet lowered slightly, allowing him to be on the same level as me for the time being.
As for the space, it maintained a distance that did not allow me to make a surprise attack at all.
"At the beginning, I still sneered at this kind of thing." Marley spoke slowly, as if he planned to recount the causes and consequences of his coming here.
"But I changed my mind later."
"Although I am a genius, I still have things I want to know. In other words, it is that curiosity that drives me."
There was some vague hope in Marley's expression, but this trace of the past soon disappeared.
"I didn't join this research because I really wanted to deal with the demons. Some of them were just curious about the demons. After all, as a taboo of the human race, almost no one except the Holy See had any intention to study the demons. clan’s thoughts.”
"And this opportunity came very quickly... from the initial excitement, to now the fear."
Marley's words began to become a bit trivial, non-linear and even illogical broken sentences came out of his mouth in a divergent manner, as if they were a huge puzzle that needed to be completed by the listener.
"The demons are indeed a powerful ethnic group, or each race in the demon union has its own characteristics and characteristics, but I didn't figure out a very important issue... until I came up with that , maybe the idea of truth.”
Demon clan alliance?
I'm a little confused about this new one.
Marley pushed up his glasses and looked at me.
"Just a moment, let me ask you a few questions."
"There are obviously individuals with huge differences among the demons, but why are their racial names always the demons, no matter how different they are?"
"If the demons occupied a large number of resource points and made a large number of races in ancient times become subordinates of their own race, then who could do such a thing?"
"If the demons are really that powerful, why are they stagnant here until now?"
"...Stagnation?" I was a little dizzy at Marley's novel statement.
"The last question is, if there really is one original demon race that led countless races in this world and formed today's demon race, then where did the original invincible race go?"
I was silent for a long time, and then said with some difficulty: "Do you suspect that it is... an ancient human being?"
Marley didn't seem surprised by my question.
"My initial guess was the same. But I discovered a small problem when I was researching the Demon Clan. The composition of the Demon Clan is almost impossible to perfect technically...or at a certain level. However, Because of this perfection, demons should not appear in this world under normal circumstances."
"There are always miracles in the world." I tried to calm his mood.
"Some guys once did the same thing as me." Marley chuckled softly, "There is a part of the demon race that has been adjusted through human intervention."
