Just as she was wondering, Hongdie saw the moonlight illuminating the densely packed white vesicles on the head of the gigantic blue giant spirit.
This is like putting a white wig on the giant spirit that originally only had pigtails. If it is regarded as a wig, then its image is undoubtedly very ridiculous. But once it is discovered that it is a vesicle of a bug, even if it is
In red butterfly form, Shade still felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.
In order to prevent himself from seeing it wrong, the red butterfly under the moon even "blinked" its eyes, and the thaumaturgy - [Remaining Suggestion] was immediately activated. Even though it had been turned into a relic, there was still no information about it left by the hunters.
disappear:
[With the phantom in front, physical attacks are completely ineffective.]
[Next, it’s time to use the soul attack. 】
[Give your wishes and soul and let them restrain themselves. Don’t be afraid of sacrifice. 】
[Next, the "Wind Catching Crystal Bottle" will be very useful. 】
"What is [Wind Catcher's Crystal Bottle]?"
Shade wanted to continue watching, but once this magic technique was used, the object being observed would have a very obvious perception. The blue giant spirit heading towards the city suddenly turned its head and looked to the left. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was too far.
, Shade directly transformed into a young silver cat and fell from the sky. All the giant spirit saw was the forest sea under the moon.
After landing smoothly with the help of the Feather Falling Technique, Shade spoke quickly to the hunter and the doctor:
"The wish demon - Zatanna, it seems that it is controlled by the Paradox Bug and is now heading towards the city."
He then explained that he had completed the demon summoning this morning and planned to meet the demon tomorrow.
"Are you making a deal with the devil too?"
The hunter asked in surprise, but Shade really didn't want to answer this question:
"It may have been avenged by that ancient evil existence. But the key now is not this. Doctor, do you have a way to defeat this demon?"
But the doctor is obviously in trouble now. He only said before that he would be unable to do anything for a period of time after the ceremony, but now not only is he unable to do anything, he looks like he is weak and recovering slightly from a serious illness:
"Sorry, I may not be able to help you much this time. I don't know what kind of power it has now after being controlled by the Paradox Bug. I only know that when it was still a complete evil spirit demon, anything without elements and spirit
Even bombs capable of destroying an entire city cannot harm it.
As a formless existence, its spiritual attacks are not very effective. Even your moonlight may not be a very effective attack.
In addition to using the trap of the oath to let it achieve self-restraint, only the power of the soul can really harm it. But it cannot be the infection or control type of soul power. It is very resistant. Detective, you have the soul type of direct power.
Attack method?"
"this"
[Psychic Blast], [Soul Whip] and [Love God's Thorn] both count, of course, but the former is mainly aimed at corporeal life, the middle one has no attack power, and the latter is an obvious "soul infection" type of magic.
technique.
Several beams of light lit up in the distant night sky, and Shade guessed that the ring warlocks in the city had begun to attack.
"So doctor, do you know what [Wind Catcher's Crystal Bottle] is? I just saw from the remaining advice that this item is very effective for it."
"It does work. The demon of wish, Zatanna, became a relic because it was bound by the trap of wish and sealed in the [Crystal Bottle of Wind Catchers], and then merged with the relic when the era changed. From then on,
He will no longer be a devil."
The hunter answered the question, and Shade sighed:
"So this message is out of date, right? Well, doctor, I'll wait until your condition stabilizes before going back. Since I can't help you now, let the church solve the problem. Although there were some accidents this morning,
But the church’s fighting capacity has not diminished.”
As he said that, he helped the doctor walk towards the moved cabin, which must have been in a mess now.
The hunter's shadow, which still hadn't disappeared, asked when Shade bent down to pick up the book:
"Aren't you going to deal with that demon?"
Shade shook his head:
"That should be considered a relic, not a demon, and I can't help. Don't worry, it's not the third era anymore. The power of human civilization is very powerful. You will never guess the number of thirteen rings in the city now.
I’m not the Thirteenth Ring, so there’s no need to take everything on myself, that’s called being a hero.”
The stranger said very rationally, and the doctor also agreed with Shade's idea, mainly because he didn't want Shade to take risks, after all, this time it was really not a demon.
"Compared with that blue giant spirit, I'm actually more curious about why you haven't disappeared since the doctor's ceremony has ended."
Shade continued to support the doctor and walked towards the wooden house, while the expressionless hunter followed behind them:
"Newborn hunters are often still very immature. According to the characteristics of that book, I will follow the young hunters for a period of time until they grow up. This is also to prevent the inheritance from being completely broken."
He did not persuade Shade to go there to help, but asked:
"Speaking of which, do you know that the demon of wishes, Zatanna, is the most special one among all demons?"
Shade shook his head, but the doctor knew:
"He's very ancient."
"Doctor, you have used the term 'ancient evil' to describe many of our enemies. For example, Goethe, the Stone Mirror Demon, and the Human Pussy have all received similar evaluations."
"But the demon of wishes, Zatanna, may be older than the two you mentioned."
The hunter said. Shade was very surprised and reached out to push open the door of the wooden house. The situation inside the door was slightly better than he thought. Although the doctor's bottles and cans were overturned, at least most of the furniture was still in place.
, the flames in the fireplace did not set the house on fire.
It is inherently dangerous to light a fire in a wooden house, so the doctor cast a spell on the fireplace. Even if the house is turned upside down, nothing will happen to the fireplace.
"It's all ancient? Speaking of which, the so-called concept of 'demons can make wishes' does appear more widely in fairy tales and legends. It can even be said that the wish demon-Zatanna is the most widely known demon in the material world.
.”
Shade said, then helped the doctor to the bed, and then went to pour him tea.
The hunter stood next to the chair beside the table that Shade had just helped up, and confirmed his idea:
"Yes, and our investigation in the third era showed that the original demon, the most ancient evil spirit, appeared in the image of 'I can fulfill your wishes'."
Shade turned his head suddenly:
"Don't tell me that the blue guy outside is actually part of the Demon King."
"Absolutely not, I can guarantee that."
The weak doctor immediately denied that the hunter certainly didn't mean this:
"The power and characteristics of Zatanna, the demon of wishes, are consistent with the records of the original demon. Although it is not very rigorous to say this, the appearance of Zatanna, the demon of wishes, is most likely related to the oldest evil demon.
.”
"I don't reject the idea."
The doctor lying on the bed also explained weakly:
"Detective, have you ever thought about how evil spirits and demons were born? We are now certain that this group definitely did not give birth to many individuals at the same time, but one was born first, and then there were several."
Hunter added:
"Although the time span is now unknown, there is a theory that after the first evil spirit appeared sometime in the First Age, its existence polluted the world, allowing more new creatures to be born in the world.
What terrible things. And the era when those things appeared concentratedly was the Third Age when I was still alive.
But there is another theory that, in addition to naturally born evil spirits, the oldest evil spirits also use their own power to create similar terrible things. If this statement is correct, then the characteristics are more similar to those of the oldest evil spirits in rumors.
Demons with similar spirits are theoretically older."
Shade put his hand into the kettle that was being heated in the fireplace. The flames suddenly rose and heated the water quickly. After doing this, he picked up the kettle, opened the overturned tea can, and found it on the ground.
The tea cup was rinsed and poured with tea:
"Then doctor, when you were at Green Lake, didn't you ask it about the secret of its birth?"
"No evil spirit will talk about the reason for its birth. This question cannot be asked."
The doctor sat up on the bed, thanked Shade and took the tea cup. After Shade finished doing this, he turned to look at the window. Of course, he couldn't see the battlefield in the distance from this position. The church should have used illusions to cover up the sound and sound.
Light and shadow, although Shade said he didn't need him, he was still very worried.
"I took the initiative to talk about the origin of the devil. I actually wanted to explain one thing."
The hunter concluded:
"Even if there is an ancient evil in this forest, it will definitely not be able to control it easily, let alone completely control it with those few bugs. So I am almost certain that as long as it is given enough stimulation, it will definitely be able to control it on its own.
Wake up."
"So you still want me to go over there and help?"
Shade asked suspiciously. The hunter remained expressionless. In fact, he had never shown any expression on his face since he appeared:
"It is almost impossible to stimulate such a powerful evil spirit. A basic common sense is that evil spirits and demons have no souls. They only have their own essence and body. Therefore, ordinary soul-killing spells are not effective against
Although they are effective, they are not very stimulating."
"You don't want to tell me that you want to teach me new thaumaturgy, do you? Do you need me to remind you? The person on the bed next to you is the one who accepted the inheritance of the witcher. I'm just here to help.
