Chapter 518: The lingering ghost
The sound came from right in front of them.
It was just below the tower, only one or two hundred meters away from them, but the devil's voice seemed to ring in their ears.
The figure of the Devouring Mouth emerged from the darkness ahead. The location from which he emerged was characteristic of his movements, like a portal at the mouth of a worm.
Under Xia Daiti's control, the pure white moonlight above gathered on the Devouring Mouth, completely locking it down.
"Oh, don't get excited, I'm ready to die!" said the Devouring Mouth with a smile.
With the moonlight, Alka's attention was not just on the Devourer. Instead, he looked at the Trial Tower next to him. The only reason Alka could think of for the Devourer to appear here was this tower, so he first observed its integrity.
On the surface of the Trial Tower, Alka saw many traces of attacks. There were many scratches on it, and these marks were very new, obviously they had just been made.
"So you came here to destroy this tower?" Alka asked directly.
Hearing Alka's words, the Devouring Mouth smiled and said, "You are getting smarter, Alka."
"Think about it, you left World Scar for no apparent reason, and left without killing me. That's weird, isn't it?"
"Because you hid yourself. You were afraid that I would kill you and you would never be able to be resurrected. So you hid yourself out of fear and I couldn't find you. There was nothing I could do." Alka looked at the Devouring Mouth and sneered without hesitation.
The Devouring Mouth didn't care at all in the face of Alka's ridicule.
"There is no way, my friend, I was too busy looking for allies before, otherwise how could I destroy your world.
Now that I have found my allies and they have begun to attack, I naturally have time to take a good look at what you are doing. "
As he spoke, he patted the tower next to him.
"Is this thing the God of Trial? It really brings back memories.
My favorite thing to do in the past was to sneak into these trial towers and become the target of a certain level. Then I would severely torture those who came in for the trial, plant the seeds of darkness in their hearts, and even make them fall directly into the abyss.
It would be so delicious to even harvest their souls directly.
Every time this happens, the idiot gets mad with rage.
It’s a pity that these good days are gone forever.”
After he finished speaking, he punched the outer shell of the stone tower, but the outer shell of the tower was not affected at all except for a few traces of wear and tear.
“However, no other trial tower is built so solidly, so this trial tower is different.
Even though the God of Trials was dead, he was still able to function.
So you guys are collecting these towers, what's the use of them?"
"You'll know once I've collected them all."
Alka's figure appeared next to the Devouring Mouth at some point, pinching his neck and speaking.
Seeing that Alka was about to kill him, the Devouring Mouth was not worried at all.
Because the moment Alka came, he knew he couldn't escape.
To be honest, he didn't expect Alka to come so soon, and he just ran into him.
He originally wanted to conceal his identity, and then quietly investigate the situation of the tower, and then try to see if he could set a trap.
But it seems a bit too unlucky.
Because if he left at this time, he would leave a little bit of his breath behind. With Alka and the others' abilities, they would definitely find out that it was him. It would be the same whether he left or not , since he would be exposed anyway.
After all, his strength in the outside world is at most at the sixth stage, which poses no threat to Alka, who has now advanced to the seventh stage.
He was mainly trying to find a way to disgust Alka.
"What a shame, just forget it if you don't tell me."
Alka didn't say much, too lazy to talk nonsense with him. A large amount of cloud and elemental energy penetrated into it.
Although this is a body separated from the Devouring Mouth, in order to have sufficient strength, a part of the soul must be stuffed inside.
The whole body was blown into pieces.
Then the fragments turned into mirrors and gathered together to form a mirror card. Alka looked at the card and found a cloud of scarlet smoke sealed inside.
This is a part of the soul of the Devouring Mouth.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Devouring Mouth looked so cool when it died just now. Now it might be rolling in pain in the world’s scars.
The pain of soul-tearing is the pinnacle of all pain.
Just as Alka thought.
The Devouring Mouth, which was flying in the sky, fell directly down, and he suffered the feedback from his clone. He crashed into a piece of forest land, roaring in pain and rolling on the ground.
It took him a long time to stand up.
The memories of the clone's death and the soul that did not return after the clone's death also appeared in his mind.
He didn't need to search his memory to know that he must have run into Alka.
Next to him at this moment was a demon he had never seen before.
"It hurts so much? Your clone outside was killed?" Obviously he knew a lot.
It was very easy to notice why the swallowing mouth was so painful.
The Devouring Mouth glanced at him, nodded, and then slowly got up.
"I can't understand it. Now we just need to gather our strength and break through here. The whole world will fall completely into our hands.
Why should we allocate some strength outside at this time? Just focus on here. "This demon also looks extremely rational.
The difference from the Devouring Mouth is that this demon looks exactly like a human.
Even the demon horns that a demon would have did not exist. Instead, there was a dark halo on its head and a pair of black festering wings behind it.
An angel who had fallen from nowhere, with his appearance having changed so little it was obvious that he had fallen willingly.
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid?" The Devouring Mouth sneered without hesitation.
The fallen angel glanced at him.
He shrugged, then suddenly smiled and said, “Although I have only been in this world for a short time, I have heard about some of your deeds.
You must have gone to look for that mortal who brought shame upon you. That's right, if you don't kill him yourself and wash away your shame.
This joke may follow you for the rest of your life, and I can’t wait to see that time.”
Before he could finish his words, he saw the Devouring Mouth disappear from its original place, leaving behind only the worm-like portal that was closing and dissipating.
At this time, under the Tower of Trial, Alka and others have all arrived here.
They dragged all the bodies of the knights here.
Mathilda looked at the holes, all of which were bodies with big holes and missing hearts, and sighed silently.
He stretched out his hand.
A faint and strange light poured into these bodies.
Finally, in front of everyone, the originally blocked hole was inexplicably repaired, the granulation tissue seemed to come alive, and then a scar was formed to fill it.
Matlisa said: "Although the soul has left the body, there is still some power and potential left in these bodies, enough to make them complete again."
Alka nodded.
Then waved.
The Earth Card controlled the solid mud to form coffins one after another, and placed the bodies inside.
Then running water rushed into it and froze it into ice.
This ensures that the corpses will not rot or be eaten easily.
After being enclosed, they were neatly stacked here, and then a closed house made of solid material was built.
After leaving some words on it, Alka stopped what he was doing.
He wrote on the envelope a golden light, and then let it fly out to where Rosk was.
Tell them the information here and ask them to send people to clean up. After all, these knights died because of him.
Then Alka looked at the Trial Tower in front of him and could see that the wear and tear on the outside of the Trial Tower was slowly being repaired. Due to the different degrees of oldness, the repaired parts had more obvious marks.
In addition to being extremely strong and difficult to destroy, the tower also has the ability to self-repair.
"So the Devouring Mouth wants to try to destroy the Trial Tower to disgust us." Jason said.
I couldn't help but look at this tower.
Alka nodded: "That's right, after all, his current strength is hard to cause any harm to us outside.
As for a being stronger than us , the success rate of being bewitched by the devil is too low, he should have given up the possibility of killing us outside. "
"But even though he gave up trying to kill us and just hold us back to disgust us, I believe he is very willing to do it."
And this is indeed the case now.
The Devouring Mouth was only too happy to disgust Alka and the others.
“But fortunately, these trial towers are extremely strong and difficult to destroy.
And if the Trial Temple that controls the towers is not willing, the positions of these towers will be difficult to move." Alka said.
This is the only good thing about it, and why no one has ever thought of collecting or moving him into their sphere of influence.
It’s not that I don’t want to move, but I can’t.
Otherwise, if the Devouring Mouth finds a way to transport a tower and hide it, they really will have no way to solve it.
As he spoke, Alka cut off the entire tower and placed it into the small world.
There are already 4 trial towers in the small world, arranged in sequence.
Everyone returned to the boat.
Driving the Sound of Dawn towards a new goal.
The fifth trial tower was not too far away from them.
Back on the boat, Alka was still looking at the mirror in his hand that sealed a part of the soul of the Devouring Mouth.
"Is this part of the soul of the Devouring Mouth?" Xiadaiti asked, standing next to Alka and looking at the dance troupe in the mirror.
Alka nodded.
"I was thinking, I can't just wait for him to disgust us. I have to find a way to disgust him back."
After all, with a portion of the demon's soul, there are many ways to use it. However, Alka also thought of something that can 100% work on the Devouring Mouth itself.
And given the Devouring Mouth's personality, this guy is extremely afraid of death and rarely puts himself in danger.
So since he dared to die in Alka's hands and give up part of his soul, he must have a way to prevent and treat it.
It is even possible that he will be separated from this part of his soul forever. Although it will bring pain and damage some of his strength, it may be acceptable to him.
But Alka's research on cutting off the soul is not so easy, so you should think of a way to disgust him as soon as possible.
Lucilia jumped onto Alka's shoulders.
Looking at the fragment of the demon soul in Alka's hand.
"I have a way. We can release this soul directly and let it return to its body. While it has not been cut yet, this soul will instantly return to its body and merge into his soul.
I think about it, I got it, I will start now. "
Lucilia seemed to have thought of something and spoke impatiently.
Seeing this situation, Alka directly handed the mirror in his hand to Lucilia.
Lucilia immediately transformed into a normal-sized soul, and then a huge cursed sword appeared in her hands that needed to be held with both hands.
The cursed sword appeared next to her.
The breath of the soul, coupled with the strange flash of light, under Alka's control, allowed it to enter the sealed space inside the mirror.
You can see that this ball of energy turns into silk threads in an instant, and then merges into the demon's soul. It seems that there is no difference.
"Let it go now."
Hearing this, Alka asked.
"So what did you do?"
Hearing this, Lucilia smiled and said, “Through the manipulation of a part of the soul, a mark is placed on this part of the soul.
The marker provides feedback on the state of a portion of the target's soul and its approximate location.
The most interesting thing is that when he returns to the Devouring Mouth, the moment his soul is released, as long as the Devouring Mouth does not immediately block his soul out, even if he returns to his soul for a second, it is possible that this ability will spread, causing his entire soul to be marked. "
“Such a mark can be removed, but only by someone who has control over the soul.
I have observed before that among the demon tribes, the demons with such abilities are all at around the sixth stage in strength, but he himself does not have this ability.
He is a devil, how could he allow others to touch his soul at will? So he will definitely find a way himself.
As long as he doesn't have the corresponding ability, it will take him at least a very long time to achieve it."
After hearing what Lucilia said, Alka and the others nodded.
In other words, they released their souls.
But the Devouring Mouth only has two choices.
Receive and do not receive.
If you don't accept it, you have to cut it, so it doesn't matter whether you put it down or not.
But if it is received even for a moment, Lucilia's method may succeed.
This way they had a means of locating the Devouring Mouth.
Locate the entire soul, which means even the clone can be located.
Because that is also a part of his soul. As long as he has not cleared it, Alka and the others will be able to grasp the movements of his clone.
Even though this ability may not be permanent, it is enough for a short period of time to avoid the harassment of the Devouring Mouth.
Such a choice could really disgust him.
"Of course, these are just appearances. The most important thing is to leave a point of origin inside his soul."
"Origin?" Jason repeated in confusion.
"That's right, a method of soul explosion, a high-end ability that I have mastered recently when I fully controlled the curse sword.
This is all thanks to the previous owner of the cursed sword, who completely liberated it and stored all his experience in the sword."
Lucelia said with a smile.
"There is only one chance for the soul to explode like this. After all, it has to be hidden enough to be difficult to detect and eliminate.
But it's just a small explosion. If we face his real body next time, catching this explosion of controllable soul may be fatal. "
Everyone understood after hearing this.
It is equivalent to burying a bomb in the soul of the Devouring Mouth.
Make a small explosion at the right time.
Although it is only a small blow, it can be fatal in a fierce battle.
After listening, Alka nodded.
Looking at the soul in the mirror in his hand, a silver snake appeared in his hand. As his arm rotated, he held it in the palm of his hand without opening it.
The strange power further mixed into the soul, adding fuel to it, improving one's own luck and lowering the enemy's luck.
Even though it's just a little bit, it can be deadly sometimes.
Crush the mirror, and the demon soul inside the mirror card disappears instantly.
At this time, the Devouring Mouth is still in the Scar of the World.
Standing behind the demon group, watching those demons attacking the demon hunting fortress in front like a tide.
Even now, he is still in charge of this area.
Suddenly he felt something and frowned.
Because he felt a piece of soul flying back to him.
"Another clone has been destroyed?" he couldn't help but think.
However, the moment the soul flew in, he immediately realized something was wrong. His arm turned into claws and pierced his chest, even touching the soul.
Amidst the intense pain, he grabbed out a small mist-like fragment.
This is the soul fragment that has just returned.
For a moment he thought that one of his clones had been destroyed again.
His clone ability can carry a lot of his strength and is not restricted by his original body.
Such a useful ability, the Devouring Mouth, naturally has several of them scattered around the outside world.
Some will be killed from time to time, this is normal.
When he took out this soul fragment, his brows were furrowed.
His expression became extremely ugly.
Because this soul fragment is not new, but the soul fragment of the clone that was killed by Alka not long ago.
He actually came back.
Although he took out the soul fragment for inspection the moment it returned and merged into his soul, the means used on it still invaded his soul.
He could feel that there were several more probing soul threads on his soul.
These soul threads are very weak and not dangerous, otherwise he would be able to detect them in an instant and it would be impossible for him to allow the soul fragments to merge into his own soul.
Although it is not dangerous, it can feed back the fluctuations of one's own soul to the other party.
The thread that does not belong to my soul is entangled in my soul, which is extremely disgusting. I don't have the ability to remove it for the time being, which is the most disgusting thing.
He was tricked again for no apparent reason, and just as he was feeling disgusted, he was disgusted again by someone else.
"Damn it, damn Alka." The Devouring Mouth gritted his teeth. He now wished he could tear Alka into pieces.
Although there are many demons around him that can control souls, it is absolutely impossible for him to ask for help from these demons.
So he could only bear this loss alone, silently enduring it in his heart.
In anger, he flapped his wings and rushed directly to the front line, ready to vent his anger.
After all, he is also a demon.
Lucilia on the other side suddenly smiled.
"Haha, it actually worked. It actually merged into his own soul. Although it was only for a moment, it successfully allowed a few threads to attach to his overall soul."
"To be honest, I really want to see his expression now. It must be very exciting."
Everyone around couldn't help but smile.
When the enemy is uncomfortable, they will naturally be happy.
