"Good job," Roland waved to the rippling black shadow that burrowed into the curtain.
A smiling face vaguely appeared in the dark shadow, as if responding to his encouragement. If he hadn't known that there was a witch hidden inside, he would have cried out in fright just by seeing this scene.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is in the hall, and the reaction is very strong, and the degree of magic is close to that of a large hybrid demon beast," Falti reminded.
"Is it tricky?"
"Don't worry, as long as it's not an enemy like a high-level devil, Ling and I are enough to deal with it," Phyllis said.
"Then act according to plan."
After passing through the long porch, Roland found that the windows around the villa were covered with foam boards and tape, and only a few lights were on, making the entire hall rather dim. The air conditioner was turned on very low, like stepping into winter from the early autumn when the residual heat was not dissipated, and the air was filled with an old and corrupt smell, which was disgusting.
A man in a suit stood motionless in the center of the hall, apparently the target of their trip. The moment he stepped into the hall, Roland felt the warm current in his body expand rapidly, and the feeling of pulsation was several times stronger than when he met the masked man.
It appears that Farty has caught a big fish.
But what he cared about was that there was a huge monster statue hanging on the two-story-high background wall that the man was facing. At first glance, the material of the statue looks like wood, but also a bit like dried leather. It has a human-shaped face, but has a pair of wings. The thick hind legs and slender front claws are curled in front of him, which is very out of tune. The monster is nearly four meters in size, and the textures of its feathers and skin are vividly engraved, and its value is obviously not cheap.
Roland muttered to himself about the bad taste of rich people. Just looking at this craft, this thing would cost at least one million.
"Go ahead." He retracted his gaze and focused his attention on the target.
"Yes."
Using the matte curtain to approach the distance of about two meters behind the enemy, Phyllis took the lead in launching the attack.
The bone claws sticking out from her back slashed at the man in the suit with lightning speed. The interference of magic power caused ripples in the curtain. But within this distance, even the superhuman didn't have time to dodge. Almost at the same time, the bone claws cut in from the man's neck, cut out from the waist, and slashed him into two pieces diagonally.
The enemy's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground in disbelief, with dark red blood splashing on the ground.
It seems that even if the natural core is not stripped, as long as the main body is severely damaged, the Demon Fallen will not be able to survive.
"Is this the end?" Ling stuck his head out of the shadows beside the sofa.
"The next search is the key," Roland said while covering his nose, wondering if it was an illusion, and the rancid smell in the air was a bit stronger, "Remember how I taught you before?"
"Gold jewelry, red pieces of paper, and iron boxes with discs!" Ling raised his hands and said, "Coins are worthless, and gems don't matter!"
"Yes, especially the red pieces of paper, the more the better." According to his experience in searching the holy city of Hermes, the price of gems fluctuates too much, and it is difficult to sell them at a suitable second-hand price, far less than gold. So stable. Of course, the best thing is cash... Hope this guy isn't a fan of online shopping, he thought.
Just as Roland squatted down and planned to transform the force of nature embedded in the belly of the man in the suit, Falti suddenly frowned, "Wait... Why does the magic reaction still exist?"
"What?" The other three were slightly taken aback.
"The source of magic power hasn't disappeared, but it's getting bigger and bigger!" She looked up and looked left and right, as if looking for something, then set her eyes on the statue, "Damn, this monster is alive!"
As soon as the words fell, the statue suddenly opened its big mouth, spit out a frog-like tongue, and stabbed Roland directly.
"Watch out, Your Majesty!"
Fili stopped in front of him without hesitation, and at the same time two bone claws grabbed in the direction where the tongue came.
However, Roland has changed a lot. He clearly captured the trajectory of the monster's attack, put his arms around Phyllis's waist, and rolled to the side, avoiding the long tongue shot like a sharp arrow.
The monster's tongue directly pierced half of the corpse on the ground, and then wrapped around the natural core, yanking the scarlet core and flying towards the statue's mouth.
Roland noticed that the force of nature, which was already in a solidified state, actually spun again under the touch of the monster.
Following the monster's movements, a large group of insects flew out from behind it and fled around in panic. Obviously, they were all attracted by each other's magic, but because they couldn't share vision, Falti didn't distinguish the magic reaction in the hall. From two different goals!
"Ha... Look at what I saw, a group of martial artists who came to the door?" The statue swallowed the core and said, "You group of thieves who steal power should not exist in this sacred place at all. Domain, die for me!"
It raised its neck, as if taking a deep breath, and then exhaled a scarlet breath at everyone in the hall
That is pure magic!
In an instant, the furniture and furnishings in the hall were torn to shreds, and the matte curtain was also smashed by this wave of attacks. Tong En and Faerti, who were hiding in it, had several bloodstains on their bodies, and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, it was a close call. At the same time, the two avoided the central area where the magic was most violent, so they didn't fall apart like the furniture.
Roland's condition was much better. When the magic hit, the warm current in his body spread to his whole body in the blink of an eye, and protected his vital parts like armor.
But what kind of attack is this? He was astonished in his heart. It was completely different from the witch's ability to directly convert magic power into energy of a damaging nature. This attack method was unprecedented. Since he possessed the strange power, he became more and more familiar with the breath of magic power. This attack is definitely not something that the Fallen can do.
And the expressions of the witches are also very surprised, which means that the monster's understanding of magic is a level higher than theirs.
"Its magic reaction... It's close to a high-level devil!" Falti gritted his teeth, "How is this possible?"
"Devil? Is that what you call me?" The monster grinned and sneered. It easily broke the rivets that fastened its wings, jumped down from the wall, and squatted in front of everyone like a gargoyle, "Without permission, Stealing power from God's Domain privately, but now you call the pursuers a devil? It's stupid!"
Holy area? Seekers? Roland couldn't help frowning, what exactly does it mean
At this moment, a black light jumped out of the shadow behind the monster, and flew past its cheeks. It was the figure of Ling! With a crisp click, a short knife was inserted from the monster's eye, protruded from the other side, and stabbed its head in the opposite direction. After Ling succeeded, there was no pause, and the moment he landed, he fled into the shadows again, and the entire sneak attack process was like running clouds and flowing water.
"Nice job!" Phyllis said with a fist.
"Pretty?" However, the monster didn't fall down like the Fallen, its wooden face was cracked, and its dry voice was indifferent and ruthless, "With this iron and the little magic attached to it, it is also delusional to hurt To me? You don't even know what God's Domain means! Now let you see the true power of the master."
During the speech, a series of cracking sounds came one after another, the cracks quickly expanded from its face to the whole body, and then the dull outer shell turned into pieces of debris, peeled off from its body. A dark red light burst out from under the wooden shell, like burning scarlet blood.
When it fully appeared, Roland opened his mouth in surprise.
Hidden under the sculptural body, was actually a body made of pure magic power, and clusters of stars flickered in its body, eventually converging into a huge astrolabe on the chest.
It turned out to be a magical creature.
