Chapter 2806: The Madman in Darkness
When the doctor was summoned by Shade at a remote crossroad in the forest half an hour ago, he had already told Shade the specific location of the most powerful split of the devil. Therefore, after separating from the three ladies, Shade flew directly in that direction.
To be honest, he was not very worried about Sister Devlin. With the seal of the relic and the nun's control over the power of fire, plus the checks and balances on the power of death and resentment by the Chosen Ones of Death, Sister Devlin was the safest among the four people who had to face the devil tonight.
As for the doctor's confident statement that he was fine, Shade did believe that he could solve the problem on his own if the demons did not seem to have received any help from the remains of the World Tree. But now that George Kant had shown signs of abnormality, the doctor was probably also facing an unexpected situation.
Considering that doctors have always had bad luck, the probability of accidents is even greater.
With the magic of "Forest Trail", it was quite convenient to travel in the woods. Even though a big event like hunting demons happened tonight, the forest was still so quiet outside the battle field.
He first turned into a red butterfly and flew, then changed back to human form and ran in the forest. After all, he didn't want to involve the Chocobos in anything related to the devil.
But as he ran under the moon, he thought of the words of Miss Bister, the werewolf girl of the Fifth Age, about "liberating the wildness", so he turned into the silver wolf in the silver light and continued running under the moon.
Feeling the wind, the moon, and nature, he tried to empty his mind according to the meditation method taught by Miss Bister. Unconsciously, the silver wolf running in the forest at a very fast speed almost turned into a ray of light and moved forward.
It felt pretty good, nothing to think about, nothing to do. If this was the so-called liberation of wildness, Shad felt that he had grasped the trick.
However, this did not bring him any new spells or magic, except that in his "Transfiguration - Silver Wolf" form, his movement speed could become quite fast, which could be regarded as an additional way to travel.
So in just over ten minutes, Shade arrived at the location pointed out by the doctor. This was a place where no human had ever set foot even in the current steam age, and for reasons of environmental protection and military strategy, Willendel would probably never develop this area.
Although there were traces of a battle here, there was no sign of the doctor or the demon.
Deep in the forest, there was a huge pit several dozen meters deep, as big as two Saint Teresa Squares. All the rocks in the pit were crystallized due to the high temperature, and even black smoke and hot air were rising, making it look like a crater.
Although the forest here is not on fire, traces of trees and land corroded by black energy can be seen everywhere.
In addition, a bright red mark appeared on the ground, as if it was cut by a giant sword. Moreover, the darkness of this forest area was stronger than other places. There were still not many clouds in the night sky, but the stars and the moon could not illuminate this place.
It can be seen that the doctor also experienced a battle here, but it is impossible to tell who won or lost from the traces. Xia De walked forward a few steps, and then he noticed the abnormal space fluctuations nearby, and then realized that the doctor and the demon should still be here, but that space was hidden:
"Strong spatial perception!"
The complex spatial structure immediately emerged in his mind. Xia De took a few steps to the left and front. After bypassing the big tree blocking the road, he swung his sword fiercely at the air in front of him, and the most vulnerable position of the space was immediately opened.
He then jumped forward sideways and disappeared into the woods.
Boom!
Dozens of fire tornadoes formed by extremely ferocious flames swirled in the burning forest. The fire tornadoes seemed to connect the earth and the starry sky.
But even with such powerful force, the giant monster with a burning body, deer antlers, horse hooves, tiger body, leopard tail, ox face, monkey ears and human hands still retreated continuously after the violent collision. Although there was a forest fire around it, the burning forest under its feet had almost turned into a wasteland.
Opposite it, Bill Schneider in a black coat floated above the sea of fire, his eyes lit up red, and the red rays shot out changed direction in a right angle under the night sky. Two rays shot at the demon holding the fire tornado, and the demon immediately grabbed the fire tornado and moved forward to block it like waving a javelin.
But when the ray hit the flame, the flame was completely broken up like a solid substance, and even one of the demon's arms disappeared.
It crawled on the ground, making sounds similar to those of a wild beast, then kicked the ground with its hooves and smashed its body towards the little man in the air like a cannonball.
The doctor had no intention of dodging, because from the shadow of the burning forest below him, a huge eight-clawed humanoid spider crawled out in a completely black posture. It was the same size as the "beast", with a human torso on top of the spider's body, and there were more than a hundred eyes on the human torso and the spider's face combined.
This is Sergei, the poisonous spider demon hunted by Bill Schneider in 1845 of the Sixth Era, before the outsiders came to this world.
The huge spider demon pushed forward to hold the fire demon, and then its black body disintegrated with a loud bang, allowing dense black spider silk to wrap around its opponent's entire body.
The spider silk with a strong soul-corrosive effect made the already almost irrational "beast" roar again, and then it was cut in half by the huge moonlight wheel that fell from the sky.
The demon in the flames recovered quickly, and the doctor looked at Shade who was standing on the treetop not far away. Shade shouted to him:
"Doctor, please get rid of it quickly."
"Do you think I don't want to?"
The middle-aged psychologist who looked very handsome in the air gave a helpless answer:
"In this forest, this thing is almost immortal. The forest is blessing it. It is now considered a natural phenomenon in the forest. I can't devour its power now."
"So you can only inflict fatal injuries to it again and again, weakening its core. You can only take action when it can no longer maintain such a huge fighting body?"
Shade asked, but the doctor shook his head:
"I'm waiting for you. I want to use my Middle Ring Ascension Word, but even if I'm prepared, I'll be weak for a while afterwards, so I can't use it until you're here."
He didn't intend to waste time at all and asked directly:
"So, detective, are you ready?"
"Wait, what do I have to prepare for? Aren't you going to use the Words of Ascension?"
"I mean, don't be scared by me!"
The whistle sounded long in the night sky, and the bells echoed above the sea of fire. Although the ring wizards could summon their life rings anytime and anywhere, Shade always felt that it was the most fashionable to summon the life rings when the ring wizards were floating in the empty air.
The doctor's nine-ring life ring emerged from the steam mist, with dense spiritual runes engraved on it. He raised his right index finger and pointed it at his forehead. When the finger left his forehead, a pure black light was drawn from it:
"A lunatic lurking in the darkness, destroying the light of the soul."
Core Spirit Rune - [Light of the Soul], Blasphemy - [Darkness], Blasphemy - [Crawling], Whisper - [Maniac], Blasphemy - [Destruction], the five spirit runes were lit up one by one, and with the black color drawn from the doctor's heart as the center, the night was also infected by the deep darkness, until the whole sky was completely dyed black.
The starry sky, the burning forest, the fire tornado, the moon, the darkness seemed to have swallowed up all the light and all the heat. After just a few seconds, everything around turned into pure black. The only things that were still glowing were Shade, the doctor with a life ring floating behind him, and the demon whose flames were suppressed to the limit.
It looked quite uneasy, trying to struggle but being restrained by the black spider silk. It had the most powerful strength among the four demonic splits, but unfortunately it also had the lowest intelligence among the four splits.
Gradually, even the doctor himself was swallowed up by the darkness.
The light around Shad faded, leaving this dark world as if only a demon entangled in spider silk was left. Then, low, hahaha~ laughter came from all directions. Even though Shad was not the target of the words of sublimation, he still felt seriously uneasy.
In the first few seconds, Shad did not realize how the world would change, but then he noticed that the demon stopped struggling and was frozen in place as if time had stopped.
A deep inky light spot appeared on its chest, and then, with wild laughter, a large hand covered with black liquid tore out from the demon's body.
Shade didn't want to use specific words to describe how disgusting the following scene was. To put it simply, Bill Schneider, with his bloated body, tore out of the demon's chest and completely tore the demon into pieces in the process.
But this is not the end, because although the demon's body has been destroyed, the core of Dezast, the demon representing fire in the darkness, still exists.
Because the other split bodies had all been destroyed, the core at this time was the most complete core of the demon. The expanding fireball floated in the darkness like a burning dark red gem, and the torn doctor disappeared into the darkness again.
At the same time, the low, annoying laughter became louder and louder, until it seemed as if two red suns appeared in the sky.
But when he looked carefully, he found that the two huge red "suns" were slowly approaching downwards. Then Shad realized that they were the doctor's eyes. The giant doctor was leaning over and looking down.
