At the critical moment, Nightmare Soul's round body shrank in Helo's arms, and then suddenly bounced.
This sudden counter-shock force caused it to escape from Holo's arms, and Holo staggered back two steps due to the impact.
In the small gap between the two of them, a tentacle full of mud and filth fell down.
Hero's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he subconsciously released the distortion field.
During the process of smashing down the tentacles, filthy objects flew out, but they were stopped in front of him by his force field at the critical moment.
"That monster...when did it target me?"
Holo turned his head and looked around. At some point, Swamp Mother moved quietly and approached them. The black water also covered and submerged her not far away from them.
The Swamp Mother, who had swallowed the souls of hundreds of dryads, squatted in the black water... No, it should be called the black lake now, and all the stone monuments that were originally several meters above the ground were submerged.
Now...only this monster is standing on top of it, its inhuman posture makes her aura calm and intimidating, and the sense of oppression that penetrates deep into the soul is really strong.
The scarlet and manic eyes are due to the primitive instinct of food protection.
Obviously Holo's behavior touched her taboo.
"Youphiel has been here before. She should know some secrets. We need to hold on until she gets close. Can the Nightmare Soul...can stop her?"
Holo was very taboo about the pollution effect of the swamp mother. Just as Dana erupted into manic soul energy fluctuations, he felt that there was the same aura as the monster in front of him.
In other words, that little bit of muddy water infected Dana's soul.
Just dripping muddy water is a pollution that cannot be prevented by an apprentice's soul.
Let alone withstand her all-out attack.
"No...it's impossible. If I get close to her, she will swallow her up and digest her! Her characteristics are much more powerful than my current [Nightmare Swallowing Complete Appearance]!"
Let it go up to block it?
It's okay against dryads that won't resist, but against this monster thing?
You can feel the suppressive force from the soul without even touching it.
Let’s not talk about who has stronger talents and characteristics between the two. Now the difference in strength between the two is obvious. There is a huge difference!
How many dryad souls has it swallowed?
That amount is not enough to fill the gap between the enemy's teeth.
Do you think I have any symptoms of indigestion? Look at me! I’m almost assimilated into green slime by the spirit of the tree spirit.
However, before the two of them could come up with a way to fight, the muddy tentacles extended by the Swamp Mother gathered in different directions and rushed towards them with a crazy attitude of crushing everything.
Like greedy giant pythons, hundreds of tentacles started from the swamp mother and surrounded them desperately. The souls of the tree spirits standing scattered in the middle were crushed into pieces in an instant, and then covered with black water.
In the end, he was bitten by a swarm of insects and his corpse was disposed of.
The priority of the three in devouring souls is obvious.
"No!"
Tentacles came down one after another.
The distortion force field that Holo opened could not block this substantial power.
After the last unwilling roar, he was completely swallowed up by the endless tentacles. Also swallowed up were the nightmare souls that had no time to escape.
Gujiguji...
The tentacles kept squirming, slowly wrapping the two souls inside together. The entangled tentacles formed a five-meter-high mountain. The top of the mountain was squirming and spraying filthy mud in an attempt to speed up the dissolution of the souls inside.
At the same time, mosquitoes and mosquitoes were swarming around, and the swamp mother couldn't take the first bite. They could only linger outside the tentacles, buzzing and buzzing.
The amount of souls of Holo and Nightmare Soul are definitely not as much as those of tree spirits who stay in the soul realm for a long time.
But their souls are extremely tenacious.
After all, he uses soul magic on a daily basis, unlike the tree spirits who cram their souls into weight gain.
The brute force of the tentacles alone... is not enough to crush their souls in a short period of time.
In the entanglement of the tentacles, Hero only felt that his soul and body were tightly stretched. This feeling was not wonderful, but it was not as severe as the pain caused by the bones breaking when the body was compressed.
"Hero...should return to his body as soon as possible!"
Nightmare Soul now regrets that it should not have listened to Hero's suggestion and followed him.
Both it and Hero have greed.
The nightmare soul is greedy for the soul of the tree spirit, an inexhaustible buffet... As long as it stays here long enough, it can increase the strength of the soul and seize the body again, even if the target is a level magician.
If you succeed, it will be easy to rely on Hero's control when the time comes!
But now, it has some regrets.
Don't be restrained if you are wrapped around and squeezed when you are full.
The nightmare soul spits out green soul fragments. Now it can only waste a large amount of the souls it has eaten and forcibly improve its digestion efficiency to resist the pollution effect of the swamp mother's tentacles.
Yes, this kind of pollution is also a difficulty for it. If it is not resisted, it will be assimilated.
And Holo was coveting the completion of the two assessment tasks.
Reading rights to the hidden floors of the library, the captive territory that can be obtained during the apprenticeship, and the soul-armed embryos.
No matter which one of these three top rewards is used properly, he will have a foundation comparable to that of a magician during his apprenticeship.
He had experienced the gap between a high-level magician and a ten-year apprentice, which was enough for him to invest heavily in fighting for the opportunity.
"This level of infection... penetrates deeply into the soul and splits the infection within it. Is it impossible to eradicate it?"
The pain at the soul level caused by the entanglement of the tentacles was still within the range that Hero could bear. He calmed down and carefully understood the condition of his soul.
Fortunately, the pollution effect of this monster's tentacles is not high. The black blisters can only pollute the essence of the soul, and cannot reach the level of the soul circuit.
But this kind of pollution is enough for an ordinary magician to drink a pot.
Hero tried to mobilize the curling twisting characteristics of his body, trying to gather those black blisters together.
But after trying it a few times, I discovered that the characteristics of black water bubbles are too strange. The more you provoke them, the faster they split. They are extremely flexible hidden in the soul.
The distortions that Holo currently controls are not enough to control them all in the first place.
Once a black blister is left uncontrolled, it will immediately split into many if stimulated.
The poor Nightmare Soul has been on the verge of collapse for two years, and the current oppression makes it somewhat unable to hold on.
The black mist of its soul body was already very elastic, but now it was compressed into a ball, and its distorted facial features suddenly appeared in front of Hero's eyes, startling him.
"Think of a way! Hero...I can't hold it anymore!"
"I can't. I can't mobilize soul energy after my soul is polluted, but you! After swallowing Traton's soul, you can use the power of perfection!"
He cannot use soul magic now, and mobilizing soul energy will only stimulate the black blisters and accelerate their splitting.
Who knows if the black water bubble will affect the soul circuit after occupying the essence of the soul. Even if it destroys the twisted characteristics hidden deep, it is not the result he wants to see.
But the Nightmare Soul is different. Even when it is on the verge of death, it can recover as long as there are enough souls. As for returning to normal, it is just a matter of how long it takes.
What's more, in the soul realm, the most indispensable thing is the soul.
I don’t believe that Nightmare Soul doesn’t dig deep.
"I... haven't fully digested it yet! If you use it forcefully, you will only end up with the same fate as that nightmare soul!"
The fate described by Nightmare Soul was exactly what happened at the entrance of the mine.
That nightmare soul was surrounded by the mass battle group and had no way out.
In desperation, it could only detonate Rael's soul circuit. Although it was very powerful, it also fell into nothingness.
Hero's eyes looked at the nightmare soul, his eyes full of indifference.
"Let's cooperate once. If it drags on any longer, the souls of the tree spirits in the soul realm will be devoured by that monster. By then, even if you want to make a last ditch effort, you won't have any food to recover. Maybe I
