Chapter 922: Seal? Crystal Sword!

"Watch out ahead, ahead bastard!!"

"I know, you're not verbose."

In the chaos, I fled with Goth in my arms, dodging the magma that rained like bullets.

Although the Moon Wolf's speed was overwhelming, the structure of the temple was not straight, and the winding path severely limited my speed, while the unknown demon who saw only one eye and one fin was able to swim freely in the molten sea, and it seemed to be quite familiar with the structure here.

So, it often happens that I go around, but the demon has already swam straight to the front to invite you into the urn, although until now, I don't know if it has not recovered its strength or what, it is just constantly beating the molten slurry to attack us, but the situation is not optimistic.

Because...... Uh, we're lost.

This time, the demon rolled its massive size again, slapping a row of lava waves at it, and even more unfortunately, we went around and around it, and we actually took a detour to a dead end, and in front of us was an endless sea of dark red-color-molten lava.

Although it's not that it can't break the lava wave behind it, but even if it is broken, it's useless, the whole demon behind him is an incarnation of the demolition office, and the places we escaped have been knocked down and destroyed by it, poor blood kings and Styx demons-women-who live here, don't even know what happened, their homes were demolished, and what is even more pitiful is that they also fell into the sea of molten lava, and after a moment of dying struggle, the head gradually sank, and was finally swallowed up by the sea of molten lava.

So, even if I shatter this lava wave, what will appear behind us is nothing more than an empty-swing-swing--sea of molten lava, and, of course, the demon's swimming fins.

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

Unfortunate!!

"It's over, that's right, the City Return Scroll, the City Return Scroll."

At this time, Gott seemed to remember that there was still this thing, and hurriedly groped for it on his body.

"It's too late."

The hot air was already forced into my back, and I sighed helplessly, and jumped high in front of me with my shouting Gott.

"That...... Wu, can you tell me, you can fly in this form, right? ”

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

"Sorry, no." I shrugged my shoulders.

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

Seeing that under the influence of gravity, his body continued to get closer to the molten sea, and Goult struggled with a sad cry.

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

I was speechless at this orangutan for how obsessed he was with running around the river.

"Don't worry, Lina, I'll always miss her even after I die, so it's okay."

Turning around, Gault gave me a hearty thumbs up, and at this point, the orangutan said something like a man.

Not alive......

"That's not good, Sister Lina has nightmares every night, so it's better for you to go to heaven as soon as possible."

"You're saying I'm going to be a wraith, right, right, bastard!!"

Gott unexpectedly sensed 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 hot molten lava.

At the moment when the moon wolf's toes were on the sea of molten lava, suddenly, the molten slurry with a high temperature of several thousand degrees was turned from extremely hot to extremely cold, and the phenomenon of ice condensation appeared.

Then, lighting the ice floe, I jumped up again, and the next second that my toes just left, the little ice floe was like a flash in the pan, and in an instant, it was melted and swallowed.

"Hahahaha, Wu, I knew you had a way." Seeing this scene, Gott burst out laughing.

“……”

Who was it just now that he was crying and crying to go to the river more often before he died, and how many times did he run naked?

"But then again, Wu, why don't you become that ragdoll bear? Wouldn't that be able to fly? ”

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

"Oh, that's right."

I pondered for a moment, and then it dawned on me.

"It can be like this."

"You stupid, you even call me stupid, I think you're even more stupid than me." Gott's big mouth immediately taunted without hesitation, not knowing that his life was now in my hands.

"It's suddenly itchy in the back, senior Gaote, do you say that I should grasp it with my right hand, or use my left hand to grasp it."

With a slight shake of my left hand, I asked coldly.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm stupid."

Probably having experienced this countless times with Karina, Gott quickly apologized.

Transforming into a Hell Fighting Bear can fly, of course, it's much more convenient, how could I not have imagined that? It's just that I haven't used the moon wolf transformation for a long time, and I want to move my tibia to see if the sword is not old.

The result is in good condition, of course, there is no stimulation to improve the strength because of the breakthrough in the realm of the state around the bear man, and he still maintains the appearance of the pseudo-domain level, which is a little disappointing.

"Seriously, Wu, you really don't plan to deal with the demon in the back?"

Just as I was thinking about when to switch to the Hell Fighting Bear transformation, Gott, who was being carried underneath, suddenly raised his head and stared at me, and asked with a slightly stern gaze.

"To be honest, I really didn't plan to do that."

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

For this demon, from the very beginning of its appearance, I had a question in my heart, and after such a long period of chasing after observation, Gott and I both saw something and guessed something.

This space, to be precise, should be a projection of a certain area of hell, it seems that it was said by my crow's mouth, and the reason for the projection is because in the regional area of this projection area, there is a very powerful being, so powerful that it is the same as Diablo, enough to interfere with the world with its own power, and project the area where it is located into the dark continent, but this demon is not like Diablo who lives in this place, but is sealed in this place.

It can be seen from the appearance of the seal when it was unlocked, it is possible that it was Mephisto, one of the three demon gods, who sealed him here, and why it was sealed here by another great demon god, this is not something I can know.

To get back to the point, based on these judgments, we can come to the conclusion that this Styx Cave is just a projection of a certain area of hell, then, the demon behind the seal that Gott unintentionally unlocked, at best, is just a projection, which also explains why it is chasing after us, and all the attacks it launches are painless, if it is 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 very strong, aren't their projections being pinched by adventurers? Not to mention me, even Gott can easily kill it alone.

I ran for so long, just to confirm this guess, by the way, to observe, so that I can go back and have an explanation with Akara, after all, the disaster is ours, if you just smile and say, "I'm sorry, we released a demon projection of the demon god level who doesn't know what it looks like and how strong it is", then it will definitely be knocked on the head by her crutches.

"It's just a projection, so you don't have to be polite to me, you can get on, if I kill it, be careful to only blow up one gold coin, one gold coin!!"

Gault emphasized that he would not hesitate to expose his scars and sore spots, but also make this kind of "good" thing look like me.

"Isn't that just your regret? So it's up to you. ”

I glared at the sneering Gott, who had encouraged me.

Although it is only a demon god-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 that is not enough to show that it is so easy to be kneaded.

First of all, the first point, for example, the strength of the three demon gods should be equal to each other, even if the difference should not be very large, but their respective projections in the first world, the strength is completely different, it can be seen that even if the strength of this unknown demon is lower than Mephisto, but the projection of its appearance here may not be lower than the projection of Baal.

The second point,I don't know how long this demon has been sealed.,Even if it's a projection, it's a little bit of strength.,To put it simply, it's like many animated game novels.,The guys who just appeared on the scene are quite powerful.,You'll become a bench master in the future.。

Now, Gott and I are like the one who casually depicts it with simple lines in order to set off the shocking image of the character - color - in the first appearance, and the appearance time is only one second, and it is only killed in seconds, and there is only one line of "Ah~~~~~~~~!! The screams of the same pathos as the tricks.

Of course, on the other hand, because of the first appearance, if you can re-explode, the reward will be extra high, maybe you can make a salted fish turnover, and rise from the tragic dragon set to the status of a bench supporting role in one fell swoop, and maybe you can also show your face on the color photos of the page...... Ahem, the metaphor is too much, to put it simply, if you kill this guy, the explosion rate will be much higher.

Well, in fact, the above two points are not enough to be the reason for me and Gaute to back down, and the last point is the most crucial.

That's ...... Because this is a sea of molten lava.

Obviously, this sea of molten is the territory of this demon, haven't you heard a very good saying?

My territory, my way!!

If it was on land, no matter how strong this demon projection was, it would not be the opponent of Gaote in the pseudo-realm realm, but now, even if I just let go of my hand, Gaote's life will be over, and I won't need that demon to make a move by himself.

This is the same as the six-winged dragon king Hardy, if the battlefield is on the sea, it can't help the four-winged mermaid king Exia, of course, the difference is that Exia is summoned by the special power of the mermaid royal family, and this demon relies on the deterrence of this molten sea.

"Alas, the demons of this world, why can't they be a little more stupid?"

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh countless times, and I was extremely nostalgic for the many games in the original world, and now I recall how cute the bosses of those games were.

In any case, it will leave you a place to stand, so that you can torture it through all kinds of obscene methods, and here, I will let me go, even a projection knows to let 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 price spent is far from worth it, and there are all kinds of helplessness in it.

For example, this demon can dive into combat, and even though Hell Fighting Bear can jump into lava without getting harm, so what? I don't think it's good to be able to take such a shark-nimble demon in a world of hot and dark red where you can't see anything, and it's good not to be bitten on the butt.

Then, even if you kill this demon and the items that explode fall into the sea of molasse, you can't even think of picking it up, which is the most unmotivated thing for me.

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

Under these comprehensive considerations, I finally chose to run away with a lack of interest, this demon projection thief is slippery, and he even knows how to tactics, knowing that he can fully rely on the geographical advantage, and destroy the lava rock on which we stand first, and replace it with an ordinary adventurer, even if it is a strong man like Gaote, he probably has to hate such a small demon projection, fortunately, I met him, I don't know if it was my bad luck or this demon's bad luck, and there was a smell of tragedy all around, You can faintly feel that the demon behind you is also very depressed.

Mmmm, it turns out that my tragic aura can still affect the enemy.

"Gorilla, remember which direction the exit is?"

Jumping in a sea of dark reds, I looked around and asked a little uneasy.

"God knows."

Gott shrugged his shoulders.

"There's no way, I'll have to use the Scroll Back to the City."

As soon as I finished speaking, I condensed a small Ice Decapitation Sword in my hand and threw it at the molten lava.

Under the powerful freezing energy of the Ice Decapitation Sword, a floating cloud of 100 meters in size suddenly condensed into the molten sea where it fell, and the Ice Decapitation Sword continuously output freezing power, and it was impossible for this ice to be melted away before the Decapitation Sword disappeared.

Landing firmly on the ice floe, I was put down by Gault, who had been carrying him like a chick for half an hour.

"You use the city scroll first, and I'll be there later."

With that to Gott, I turned my head to look at the fins that were coming straight up at us, and a small Ice Decapitation Sword was once again condensed in my hand.

If this demon isn't interested, I don't mind giving it a look.

As if feeling the power of the Ice Decapitation Sword, the speed of the demon rushing up on the opposite side suddenly slowed down, and then one turned around, and began to circle around the sea hundreds of meters away from the ice floe, which was really no different from a shark.

Taking advantage of this time, Goth took out the scroll of returning to the city on his body and prepared to leave.

It's a pity that with such a good leveling location, with this cunning demon here, it is impossible to let Veras and the others come to the Cave of Styx again.

"Huh?!"

Just when I was secretly sorry, suddenly, Gott behind me let out an exclamation, and then there was a clang, the crisp sound of something metal falling to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

While keeping an eye on the demon's movements, I turned my head and glanced curiously at Gott, who was clutching his head, looking at something on the ground in a daze.

"What is this?"

When my eyes fell to the ground, it was a diamond-shaped crystal dagger, which looked a bit like the Skarshin Blade that I helped the dead Indian Asan find when I was in Kurast, that is, Gidbin, which is the core of the magical defense system of Kurast Harbor.

This crystal dagger is about a meter long, which is a bit longer than Gidbin, and it is not too short to say that it is a short sword.

"Oh, this thing."

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

"I don't know, it's just that when I opened the seal and was ejected, I grabbed it casually in my hand, and then I was in a hurry to escape, so I stuffed it into the inventory."

"Huh?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gote, who was carefully looking at the crystal short sword, did not wait for me to speak, and let out another exclamation.

"This dagger ......"

Hesitating, he said.

"Looks like it's used to seal that guy."

"How do you tell?"

I already have some knowledge of this orangutan's mouth and beard, so I am full of disbelief now.

"I've also received some magic instruction in the training camp, and Karina has always forced-me to learn this and that, so I still know a little bit about it."

Gott smirked.

"Look, isn't the magic texture on this like a sealed magic array? I'm not sure either, though. ”

Gott leaned over to me with a questioning gaze, as if he thought I, a half-mage druid, and as an Alliance Elder, I should know better than him.

"Hah...... Ahaha, yes...... Yes, I'm not sure, but it looks like it. ”

I looked at the complex magic patterns on the sword, and I went into stupid mode.

"Maybe we can use this dagger to seal this demon back away."

Gott's eyes lit up and he muttered.

"Really."

I was also moved by what he said, after all, this demon was released by the two of us, if we can solve it ourselves, even if I talk to Akara afterwards, I guess I won't be reprimanded.

"The question is how to use it, don't tell me to throw it on top of the demon's head." I made a gesture of throwing a Poké Ball and looked at Gott.

"Of course not, let me see ......"

Goult studied it carefully for a while, and I continued to stare at the demon's actions, adding an additional Ice Decapitation Sword to the ice floe under my feet.

After a moment, Gott looked up, his eyes still full of doubt.

"I don't know, alas, if I had known that this was the case, when Lina taught magic, I should have learned it seriously."

After a pause, he continued.

"There seems to be a clue on the hilt of the sword, though......"

As he spoke, he gestured the hilt of the sword to the side, and when I looked at it, I saw that the hilt was shaped like a demonic claw, with three claws sticking out of the end, as if it was grasping something.

Well, like a mosaic mouth.

As long as you are an adventurer, when you see this shape, you will subconsciously flash this thought.

"Isn't it okay to set the gems on it?"

"Who knows, maybe this short sword is only the core part of the entire seal, or just a part of the core of the seal, and it also needs the assistance of other magic arrays or items to have a sealing effect."

Gott clutched his head in pain, at this moment, we deeply felt the distress of not having a mage by our side, if only we had brought Karina with us.

"Forget it, let's try anyway, it's a big deal and a failure."

With that, I took the Crystal Shortsword from Gott's hand, looked at the inlay on the end of the hilt, thought for a moment, and tucked a full-grade gem on.

The demon's claw, as if conscious, slowly opened an opening just enough to hold a complete gem when it approached, and when I put the gem inside, the claw tightened again and set the gem firmly on it.

There is play.

Seeing this, Gault and I looked at each other and laughed.

This is not the first time I have seen this special setting, its function is application-sex-strong, from broken gemstones to perfect gemstones, can be set into the inside.

What's next? There is no other way to do it, but to use this short sword inlaid with gems to attack the opponent directly to see if it will work, if it doesn't work, leave immediately.

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

Once again, I replenished the ice floe with the energy of the Ice Decapitation Sword, and if I cancel the transformation of the Moon Wolf and transform into a Hell Fighting Bear without moving, it will be worth the loss if the movement is too loud and let the cunning demon on the other side know our strength and run away. Aiming at the demon circling around us, a moment of pause around the corner, I suddenly jumped up and hurried towards the other side, and at the same time the field exploded, extending to the demon's side in an instant.

Teleport!

From jumping up and approaching, to exploding in the realm, to teleporting, it was only a matter of a blink of an eye, and in this short time, the demon had just completed the action of turning the corner, and he had not yet reacted to what was going on.

By this time, my figure had appeared directly above its only exposed-out fin, grabbed the crystal dagger and stabbed straight down in a white light.

With a "poof", the dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing into **, and the familiar force coming from my hand, I immediately judged that the crystal dagger had hit the demon's body.

"Titicaca!!"

At the moment of piercing, time seemed to stop for a moment, and all of them stood still, and then the next moment, a huge force suddenly came from his hand, accompanied by the demon's piercing "Titicaca" scream, and the moment the short sword pierced its body, the demon issued a huge reaction that was originally impossible to be stabbed by this short sword like a toothpick compared to its huge size.

We saw that its huge body, which had been hidden under the sea of molten lava, suddenly bounced violently, and with this fierce action, it jumped high from the sea of molten water, showing us its huge and hideous face for the first time.

As I had guessed, the overall appearance of this demon was really like a fish, like a ...... Well, magnifying saury thousands of times, probably like this.

Of course, if it is only like this, it is far from being called hideous, with the size of a saury, but the dorsal fin is like a shark, and under this dorsal fin, there are also a pair of fleshy wings on both sides, which are probably restrained when they usually move in the molten sea, and only now will they be stretched out when they jump high.

Then, on the lower abdomen, four more claws are stretched out, some long and some short, so that people feel that they can move on the ground upright like a fish-man.

Finally, there was the crocodile-like head, with a mouth covered with serrated teeth, a tail covered with bone spurs, and pieces of silver-colored scales reflecting a dark red sheen, rendering the image of this demon even more terrifying.

“……”

When I saw the projection of this demon god-level monster, my first reaction was why the guys who have reached the realm of the demon god are so curious? Mephisto is like this, Barr is like this, Diablo is better, could it be that after reaching this realm, he will become a pervert with strange hobbies and tastes?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be very ...... to look like Tarasha, who has the strength to compete with the demon gods?

Just when I was so maliciously guessing, the crystal dagger that was firmly grasped in my hand suddenly emitted a black-colored evil light, and circles of black light, like a fishing net, quickly spread from the part where the short sword pierced, trying to restrain this strange-shaped [Demon Saury].

The demon that jumped into the air was naturally unwilling, and it let out a strange cry of "Titicaca" in anger, and at the same time flapped its flesh wings on both sides, trying to break the black-color-energy thread wrapped around its body.

It seems to work.

Seeing this scene, Gault and I were overjoyed.

But before he could rejoice for a second, the crystal dagger in his hand, the intact gem set in the hilt, suddenly dimmed and shattered.

As the gem shattered, the black light that had firmly bound the demon also faded like a tide.

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

In the distance, on the ice floes, Gott reminded me loudly.

I know it without you saying it!!

I rolled my eyes and watched the powdered gems scatter.

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

Seeing that the demon was about to return to the Sea of Molten Flesh, I gritted my teeth and pulled out a cold-human blue-color gem from a clean corner of my inventory.

Fight, let this demon see the power of the nouveau riche!!

With a cry of distress, I set the perfect sapphire in my hand into the hilt of the sword, raised the short sword again, and submerged the blade that emitted a brilliant cold light into the body of this saury demon.

The energy threads that flashed with a strange black-colored light spread out from the short sword again, dozens of times in number and size than the first time, and this time, the demon didn't even have time to scream, it was covered by the overwhelming black threads, and then, like a net, it was shrunk and sucked into the short sword.

"Whew~~~"

Down-to-earth, Gott and I were both relieved.

Finally made up for it.

"Wu, look."

Gott suddenly pointed to the crystal dagger that I held in my hand and glowed with black- and blue-color.

Originally, this short sword used to seal demons didn't have any genus-nature-, but after absorbing the demon, it now seems to have a different feeling......
