Chapter 48 The big devil in the skin of a little devil
A blue halo covered everyone in the square.
The envelope that Holo had hidden in his robe was a little warm.
When he took it out, the 'Nopas Branch' seal on it was also glowing.
"The entrance to the mine has been opened. Please enter inside and enjoy the gifts of the feast!"
The notification from the Chamber of Commerce made everyone start activating the envelopes.
Every time an envelope is activated, a [Door] target will appear on the floor of the square below.
"Let's go. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it in the mine."
The envelope in Holo's hand had already recorded the soul auras of him and Byrne, and the target point created only allowed the two of them to teleport there.
At a target point behind the two of them, the skull waved goodbye and said:
"Remember to come find me when you get to the mine! If you die, I will be very distressed. After all, there will be no one to pay tribute."
Holo lowered his head, his face under the hood showed no emotion, and he did not respond to the skeleton.
It was as if he had lost his spirit and chose to surrender.
Rays of light flashed through, and people jumped into the mine through the target point in the square.
call out!
…
boom!
A roaring, extremely hot moonlight blew a little devil running in embarrassment to the ground.
Holo closed his left eye to relieve his fatigue, stepped forward and pulled out the bloody spine from the little devil's corpse, and put it into a "flea skin bag" regardless of the dirty blood and minced meat in his hands.
"We only have three days, so we need to hunt as many little devils as possible."
"By the way, what happened to you in the square just now?"
It had been two hours since Holo and Byrne entered the mine from the square target point.
The Chamber of Commerce opened the entrance to the mine at a precise time. The moment everyone teleported over, the Devil's Gate at the bottom of the mine also opened.
Endless demons crazily squeezed out of the small hole, scrambling to stretch out their arms, desperately grabbing everything they could reach.
The rocks next to the door, the plants, and even the companions around you.
In a corner far away from the door, Hero could vaguely see a terrifying scene.
It was as if there was something terrible on the other side of the door and these demons wanted to escape.
But everything was arranged from the very beginning.
The bottom of the mine is intricate and complicated. As soon as the demons poured out of the door, they fled madly into the cave.
There are only a few relatively powerful demons who know that they have been targeted by the magicians in front of them. If they run away now, they will only become living targets.
He immediately gave up the thought of escaping and rushed towards the magician.
And there is a gap blocked by the body of the big devil in front.
It also gives the endless demons behind them time to hide in the mines.
As the demon entered the mine, the accompanying aura of the Gate of Hell also caused the mineral veins in the cave to begin to revive and grow new ore.
At this point, the magicians and apprentices who were teleported in front of the Devil's Gate scattered and began to chase the traces of their prey.
Facing Byrne's doubts, Hero kicked the little devil's body aside.
"It's just a backup, don't worry! Our names are not on the contract. Even if it violates the rules of fairness, it will have no effect on both parties.
If you encounter that skull while hunting demons, you might be able to make use of it."
Byrne asked in shock:
"Since when did our [Moon Tower] have a system involving rules? What kind of soul skills did you secretly learn from me, you thick-browed man?"
Holo was speechless, but didn't want to answer.
Completely master the [Illusion of Brahmia], and let this soul technique have the ability to distort the perception of level magicians.
No matter what happens, it is extremely unbelievable for an apprentice who has just entered the tower.
Holo and Byrne continued to explore along a mine trail.
Both of them have seen the form of a big devil. If a big devil appears in this kind of passage.
Even if they don't have the ability to sense souls, they can easily detect it in advance.
After all, their main hunting targets are little devils.
The big demon was able to withstand several rounds of soul spells from the magicians, which was too terrifying for the two of them.
When the defense cannot be broken, the identity of the hunter and the prey will change.
As for the materials on the little devil.
I have to say that the description in the invitation letter is a bit superficial.
The moment when the little devil dies.
A black hell crystal core will grow inside the head.
This kind of crystal nucleus was mentioned in the [Engineering] that Helo studied. After being ground into powder, it is a material with extremely high soul energy transmission efficiency.
Even some special systems are advanced tonics that can act on the soul.
You must know that what a magician fears most is tarnishing the purity of the soul.
This kind of material that can directly affect the soul, even if it is only targeted at some specific groups of people, is still priceless in the market.
Some special little devils, for example, have wings on their bodies, horns on their heads, or even special fur.
For magicians, they are excellent materials for refining pseudo-horcruxes.
From the current point of view, these little demons, who are as powerful as lambs waiting to be slaughtered, are Holo's inexhaustible treasure trove.
But just when Holo and Byrne turned through the front passage.
He actually saw an ordinary little devil with black skin and red stripes suck the soul of an apprentice out of his head.
A humanoid soul covered with golden circuits and glowing with blue light fluttered out of the body.
The little devil bit him on the head.
Even swallow it in one gulp.
In the process of his soul escaping, the apprentice kept fluttering and struggling, trying to catch something, but in the end he fell down unable to do so.
As the little devil let go, the soulless apprentice collapsed on the ground.
"Can it actually suck away souls?!"
Holo and Byrne exclaimed at the same time.
This is too impossible for their cognition.
No, this operation is impossible.
But it's impossible for the little devil.
Who could have imagined that a little lamb could kill a strong man in the most cruel way.
Yes.
For magicians, extracting souls alive is the most cruel and painful way to die.
Although this spirit technique is still preserved in the tower.
However, this kind of magic is strictly prohibited by the tower, and even in the records, there are only a few words recorded.
When entering the system, the instructor will also inform you of the degree of harm.
But this kind of soul skill that was impossible to learn and a situation that was impossible to see appeared in front of Hero.
After the little devil devoured the soul circuit, the red lines on his body seemed to become more vivid. When he saw the person coming, he burped, but the greed in his eyes did not weaken at all.
Gudong!
Byrne's swallowing sound was a little loud.
"Isn't this a big devil with the skin of a little devil..."
Helo secretly began to output soul energy, blessing [exponential explosion].
Several modules in the card slot flash.
There was a faint white light in his left eye that was not easy to detect, and it was aimed at the little devil who was pacing towards him.
"Maybe he's a big devil who came out to work before he was an adult!"
Byrne turned his somewhat frightened face and shouted:
"How long has it been and you are still telling hell jokes!"
