Byrne was a little confused as to why Holo, who was chatting with him just now, suddenly became silent.
After being pushed, Hero turned his attention away from the module.
"Ah, I was wondering how many nightmare souls there are in the mine. From what it said before, we have encountered at least one. Maybe that one has not yet devoured the soul of the magician and taken control of the body."
Hero said as he hurried on, patting the black bag hanging on his waist.
Items containing souls cannot be put into the [Flea Skin Bag], so Hero could only find a piece of black cloth, hang the skull on his waist, and then cover it with a broken apprentice robe that he picked up from nowhere.
The mine is neither big nor small. In this confined space, two days is enough for them to meet all of them, whether they are big demons, little devils, apprentices or level magicians.
It's just...according to Nightmare Soul.
It can sense its own kind, and there is no reason why its kind cannot sense its existence.
Hero simply made a process of elimination in his mind.
Since we can sense each other's breath, we can filter out some situations.
Among the demons and magicians encountered along the way, no physical disharmony or confusion of consciousness was found.
In just two days, it is very unlikely to find an opportunity to penetrate into the soul of a high-level magician, digest his knowledge, and master his soul.
At least judging from the nightmare soul in Helo's hands, it is indeed impossible.
You must know that in order to ensure the success of the plan, Hero spent three to four times the soul quality of an ordinary apprentice.
In such a well-fed and drunk state, it was almost impossible to suppress a level magician whose soul was injured by devouring him.
As for other nightmare souls without supplies, it is even more impossible. They are facing a magician with a complete soul. Not only is the soul defense soul skill perfect, but there may also be soul beasts occupying it. One against two may not have a chance of winning.
If they want to accumulate strength, they must hunt down weaker beings, so now, the possibility of seizing apprentices is greater.
As for the nightmare soul occupying the demon's body, this possibility is also very small.
After all, for them, the ultimate goal is to integrate into the world of magicians. The demon body is just a temporary doll, and the possession is only used as a springboard.
Just like Hero had just met the Nightmare Soul, he relied on the little devil's body to lure the ignorant apprentices into taking the bait.
Once their strength is accumulated and mature, their targets will be on stronger apprentices or even higher-level magicians.
Two days have passed, most of the demons have been hunted down, and the exit of the mine is about to open. There is no point in keeping the demon in shape.
"It should be those apprentice magicians."
In retrospect, the level magicians I met along the way all had a arrogant attitude towards their apprentices. If the nightmare soul possessed was a level magician, he would have confidently come to interact with Helo's nightmare soul.
.
Only his status as an apprentice prevented the nightmare soul from approaching him at will.
The further you go up, the fewer the number of branch passages, and more people gather in the main passage.
"Hey, can you feel it?"
Hero patted the black bag, but didn't get any response.
It seems that he is very angry with this ghost. It has been two days and he still ignores him.
"Forget it, what does this have to do with me."
The result of not being able to find the Nightmare Soul will only affect the tower, not him.
Even if the sky falls, there will still be someone to support him. What he is interested in is the talent of Nightmare Soul [Full Demonstration of Swallowing Nightmare].
This kind of knowledge beyond the sorcerer's understanding is what he longs for.
Because every time he saw the soul beast egg placed on the bedside, he would think of the power of that big octopus... which could make the magician trapped in the deep sea, unable to exert the power of soul magic at all.
Hero wanted to break through the magician system and find another path without any restrictions.
"Let's report it to the instructor when we get back. After all, this kind of thing still needs to be curbed."
Out of selfish motives, Helo only planned to tell his mentor the information about the Nightmare Soul, and told him that it might be hiding among the magicians coming out of the mine.
As for the nightmare soul in him, he wanted to keep it alone.
only...
Holo glanced at the tired Byrne beside him.
You are the only one who knows this secret.
…
【Kanya Mine】Underground entrance area.
Thousands of magicians gathered here, waiting for the Chamber of Commerce to open.
There are mostly apprentices here, and their choices are the same as Hero's.
After two and a half days of high-load soul energy output, many apprentices could no longer hold on. The training effect of this trip had been achieved, and leaving half a day early would have no impact.
"what is that?"
As the door to the present world opened at the entrance, Hero saw the natural sunlight again.
Although the mine is full of miner's lamps, the environment here is no different from that in the "Moon Tower".
It's just that when the door to the real world opened, the people who greeted the magicians didn't seem to be people from the Chamber of Commerce.
"The Magician Order of [Mass Tower]!"
"The Order?"
Although Byrne was not surprised, he was not very clear about it. After all, they did not know much about this tower and they did not have the opportunity to learn about it.
However, an apprentice next to them explained it.
"The tower will dispatch a group of magicians to guard and purify such alien areas to prevent things from the alien world from causing large-scale soul pollution to the tower."
Hero's first reaction was that the tower knew about the existence of the Nightmare Soul.
No wonder Mena mentioned to him before that among the magicians guarding the empire's territory, there were no magicians from the [Mass Tower].
It's not that they are mysterious, but the goal of guarding is an alien area.
If the [Scarlet Tower] is a safe existence that protects the magician's body, then the [Mass Tower] is the pure land of the magician's soul.
Hero was a little worried, whether his soul would be considered a heretic from another world.
The magician knows the relationship, and this can be regarded as a benefit to ensure the safety of his soul, so he naturally has no objection.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The apprentices present also happily accepted it after being explained by others.
The leader of the cult, a magician wearing a pure white gold-rimmed mask, cast a soul spell.
A sun disk the size of a human head rose up and illuminated the entrance.
There is a twisted dividing line in the middle of the main body of the solar disk. On the left is a smiling face, but on the right is a crying face.
On the periphery, there is a circle of rotating gears shaped like light.
The main body emits a golden light, and as the magician below passes by without any abnormalities, the smiling face on the left half of the sun disk will become brighter and brighter.
"This security check is too fast."
Seeing that the crowd in front of him was getting smaller and smaller, it would soon be Hero's turn, which made him a little panicked. Even Byrne beside him felt a little helpless.
This level cannot be avoided.
"Listen, now is not the time to lose your temper. If the skeleton magician's soul has not been completely digested and there is still some residue, you'd better release him. If you can't pass the security check, I can only hand you over.
, you should know the outcome."
Regardless of whether the nightmare soul in the bag agreed or not, Holo emitted a distortion field himself and tried to help cover it up.
If you don't succeed, be benevolent.
In fact, what he wanted in his mind was to let the Nightmare Soul help him cover up his soul. If there was any problem found out, he could hand over the Nightmare Soul to free himself from suspicion.
He was not possessed by the Nightmare Soul. Strictly speaking, the Nightmare Soul was even considered his trophy.
And just then.
The sun disk hanging in mid-air changed.
The crying face on the right side suddenly came to life, even more so than the smiling face.
"who is it!"
"Someone was tainted?"
The place near the entrance and exit instantly became a vacuum.
Hero also saw the magician who was found to be abnormal.
"Golden Rael?"
It was the [Sun Tower] apprentice who was extremely proud in the square before.
Byrne was also a little shocked and asked:
"Is it possible that he was taken away by the Nightmare Soul? It shouldn't be. His soul is very strong, and he hunts in a team. Is it possible that [Mass Tower] is making things difficult for [Sun Tower]?"
What Byrne said makes sense.
Hero also saw Rey's teammates hiding on the side, but their expressions didn't seem surprised.
