The originally bright sky gradually became dark.
The colorful gauze light curtain that seemed to cover the blue silk also became dim.
Hero took the most critical step before the souls of the tree spirits around him rushed up.
This situation now made him miss the Nightmare Soul a little.
"It would be great if the Nightmare Souls were here. They could help me block their impact. With so many delicious souls, they should be able to hold on even if they die!"
I can't wait for the stone sculptures to completely peel off and the black water to completely drain away.
Hero made a desperate move, levitating into the air, directly crossing the black pool, and smashed his body against the broken stone sculpture.
He is gambling!
But it’s not a completely unreasonable bet.
The black water pool passed quickly. Although the size of the black water pool kept getting smaller, there was no concave arc on the exposed ground. The black water pool seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air.
That being said, there can't be anything hidden inside.
Eighty percent of the soul-trembling feeling comes from inside the stone sculpture.
That is the source of the black water flowing out!
I have to say that [Exponential Explosion], as the maintenance time increases, the increase shows an exponential explosive growth effect, which is really useful.
The power of the twisting force field on the opposite side weakened as the stone sculptures were broken.
And he is getting stronger and stronger.
Before his body came into contact with the stone sculpture, the force field that had been isolated from him for a week directly shattered it in half.
And Hero finally saw clearly the source of distortion stuck in the chest of the stone sculpture...what kind of monster it was!
Losing the confinement of the stone sculpture, a muddy monster slowly crawled out from inside.
His face was covered with deformed and densely packed gray-brown pimples. As the body twisted and crawled out of the stone sculpture, Hero also saw that except for the parts where his facial features could not be seen, they were covered with these disgusting things.
Even my neck was covered in lumps.
This gave him trypophobia.
The pimples were constantly bursting and reborn, and from the burst pimples, black blisters emerged one after another. The black water really gathered and flowed from above. The insect eggs burst as the blisters burst, and fell to the ground along with the black water.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of white eggs sprouted from the ground.
They rise and fall with the flow of black water, and once again converge into a small black water pool.
Hero's modified eyes keenly discovered that there was something moving in those white eggs, like newborn maggots. Through the translucent egg membrane, he could clearly see the life squirming inside.
"It seems like something terrible has been released. This disgusting thing...is it the Swamp Mother?"
Holo noticed the hint flashing in the corner of his eye.
The data panel sensed the nearest spirit beast, (the fallen swamp guardian).
According to the official information provided by the tower, the only guardian of this swamp is the Swamp Mother.
In other words...is this thing in front of me a swamp mother?
In my imagination, the mother of the swamp looks like a woman, and she is also a strong person guarding this land. But what is this thing in front of me?
In an instant, the glorious image in Hero's heart collapsed.
"Pico! We are here to support you!"
When Dana and the others came closer, they found that the terrifying coercion had dissipated a lot, and the souls of the tree spirits outside had rioted for a while and then stopped moving.
There was no reaction even when they approached.
Holo's soul energy fluctuations are still there, but they have stabilized, which means he is safe!
This made several people overjoyed.
Isn't this the chance to pick up the leak?
But they did not see the scene being blocked by the huge tree spirit soul in the inner circle.
A strange monster has been completely released by Holo.
…
Swamp Mother touched the mud on her facial features, revealing her scarlet eyes.
Those pairs of eyes were full of hatred, and the emotions that were sinking into the abyss made Hero's heart tremble.
How can she look like a guardian? Hero's soul is suppressed by her full desire for destruction. Without the filter of the body, in this inner realm, she will definitely not be able to withstand her attack.
Look at those hideous lumps, which are constantly breaking and growing new ones. This terrifying regenerative power is similar to his distortion vortex.
Hero had no doubt that if he was contaminated by these things, it would not be enough to split a part of his soul. They would penetrate deep into his soul and continue to split, until he became what Swamp Mother is now.
But he still couldn't figure out why Swamp Mother had twisted characteristics?
Suddenly I heard the call of my teammates, who arrived before the sound.
This made Helo a little unhappy. At this critical moment, the appearance of his teammates would only distract him and prevent him from using more methods.
"Really, if you don't come early, you won't come late. You have to come when the boss appears."
For these teammates, there is no tacit understanding of cooperation, and it is impossible to leave the back to them.
Well...it's really troublesome.
But before the teammates could get through the obstacles of the dryad souls, the insect eggs floating in the black water had already begun to hatch.
Dots of pure white crystal light began to slowly squeeze out from the insect eggs. Although there was no sound, looking at the picture, Hero made up his mind and thought 'pop'.
After they emerge from the eggs, they immediately slide into the black water, causing small ripples.
As they were immersed in the black water, they grew very rapidly, their bodies swelled up visibly to the naked eye, and a few of the faster-growing ones spread out their newly grown wings.
It broke away from the black water and hovered in mid-air, making a low humming sound.
Holo took a deep breath.
The adults of these eggs turned out to be mosquito-like creatures, and their physical characteristics were exactly the same as the strange insects they encountered through the moss swamp.
The same long whip-shaped tail, scarlet compound eyes, and powerful transparent wings.
He should have thought of it earlier!
Hero took it out subconsciously.
"Blank! I forgot that I am in a soul state now, and I can't bring [Flea Skin Bag] in!"
He can't rely on any external force now. All the equipment, including dozens of special [Tesla grenades] are in his bag, and he can only rely on his own strength.
But is soul magic really useful on the monster in front of you?
Although the coercive aura is not strong, the deep mud... gives Hero the feeling that any spiritual technique will be swallowed up by her and will be unable to exert any effect.
But the existence in front of me is related to two tasks!
If there are no clues in her body, Hero can't imagine where else he can find the mission target.
Helo forced [Petrochemical] and planned to fight.
The soul energy is still abundant, enough to support [Exponential Explosion] and modules.
Maybe it can be sealed again... Unrealistic ideas always appear in the minds of people who have lost hope.
Sure enough, when the stone covered the body of the swamp mother, she didn't need to take any action at all, and the wriggling knots on her body directly broke through Hero's control.
rustle...
The stony stone fell gently and turned into a large piece of gray yarn, which disappeared with the breeze caused by the fluctuation of space.
"Kill...drown...replace me..."
"Huh? It's you who's talking?"
After Swamp Mother escaped, Holo retreated for a short distance, and due to the influence of various force fields between the two, he was somewhat unable to hear what Swamp Mother said.
But he was certain that Swamp Mother did make a sound.
There was a hint of pleading in those scarlet eyes.
She must still be conscious!
Even though her consciousness has fallen, she is still struggling!
Originally, Hero was still guessing who made Swamp Mother look like this, and who suppressed her in the stone sculpture.
Is it a tree spirit?
Impossible, look at the tree spirit souls around now who are afraid but sink into the inner environment!
They don't have this ability.
But judging from the exquisite shape of the stone carvings, a lot of thought was definitely put into it when it was first built. He even thought that the person who established this suppressive seal was Swamp Mother herself.
He did not believe that the guardian who originally protected this area would allow himself to fall.
If it were a high tower, it would have been completely destroyed long ago.
