Chapter 466 Don't try to lie to me
When the toad monster radiates divine power, Feige knows who this opponent is: greed, one of the four knights of the creator.
According to Oriana, Greed is the most active of the Four Horsemen who wants to destroy the Eternal Continent because it can feast on the wreckage of the Eternal Continent. However, it is greedy for even the energy in its own body, and it is lazy when it can not move, resulting in it having little place in the plans of the creator, and the war knight is the most important one.
Greed is happy to do so. It is always weighing the relationship between effort and reward, and is equally greedy for results and costs, making it the most efficient of the four knights. Because of its absolute leadership in this regard, the Creator did not remove it from the Four Horsemen. And after the fall of the Creator, the War Knight temporarily took over the command, but it only worked for the next level, and could not command greed at all.
As a result, the toad became even lazier and focused all his attention on collecting divine crystals. For the sake of today's greed, it has long been calculating several divine crystal manufacturing sites of the Creator - and the current temple is among them. As soon as the creator died, it came here to eat, and ate itself one bite after another. After each portion of the food, it has to stop for a period of time to digest it, so that the divine power can reach a perfect fit with one's body and soul, and then continue to eat.
Feige used the "Magic Vision: Great Prophecy Technique" to search for several storage places of Divine Crystals, and then picked the smallest of them to attack. He believed that the scale of the place was small, and the guards should be relatively weak, which could be used to accumulate combat experience. But this place is relatively small, and it was eaten by greed! This small miscalculation caused Yaka to fall into a bitter battle all of a sudden.
In the face of divine power, it is difficult for ordinary deep hell purgators to win, and only by becoming a lord of hell and using the evil aura and hell favor stored in the soul crystal, a devil can offset the divine power and rebalance the battle situation. Although Feiqi handed over part of the management of his territory to Yaka, so that she could also use some of the storage in the soul crystal, Yaka did not have his own territory crystal and did not go through the process of being promoted to lord, so the relevant knowledge and skills in his mind were insufficient. She couldn't exert the full power of these energies, so she was at a disadvantage. She hasn't fallen yet, it's completely Feige's evolution that is too perfect for her, and she's completely different in the Hellpurgatory.
She struggles to defend and fight back as best she can, but eventually discovers that only hand-to-hand combat can inflict damage on her enemies. The toad called Greed created devouring powers for itself with the Divine Crystal, and it opened its mouth to treat the infernal flames, evil aura, and all the spells cast by Yaka as flies flying in front of its eyes, wrapped its tongue around it, and swallowed it in its mouth. Despite the corrupting and depraved nature of these energies, Greed simply absorbs them and then gives Yaka a heavy blow.
Devouring space is its primary way of dealing damage. You can eat and fight at the same time, which is too much in line with the greedy character. The toad always chooses the space where Yaka is to devour, and only swallows half of her body each time, in order to use the power of space to try to tear her apart. Each time the space was devoured, it was like forcibly teleporting a part of Yaka's body away, although she could rely on the strong physical resistance of the Deep Hell Purgatory, and then use the magic energy based on the hell flames to pull herself out of the devouring space, but under the continuous attacks, she was still not lightly injured. It's hard to tell from the outside, but on a very subtle level, deep in the capillaries, nerves, and bones, misalignment and fractured scars already abound.
These injuries are not in vain, and greed is also scarred. Taking advantage of every chance to get closer, Yaka inflicts severe wounds on her claws, teeth, wings, and tail, reaping the fruits of her flesh with each blow. Especially her teeth: it was rare for the Hellpurgatory to use the Bite Demon, and every time that happened, it was when such a top-level devil was in trouble. Hell equips its proudest creatures with the most ferocious weapon: with each bite, the Hellpurgator leaves a terrifying disease called Devil's Chill and a corrupting toxin of Hell in the wound.
Devil Chill continuously weakens the power of creatures for a long period of time, while Corrupt Toxin instantly reduces the resilience of the enemy's body, including the ability to take damage, recovery, and immunity. If it is a serious and complete god, the effect of the toxin will basically not work. But Greed strengthened his devouring ability with all the divine crystals, and he was not able to establish this part of the resistance, so he was tortured and painful.
After receiving several heavy blows in succession, the greedy toad used spatial devouring to force Yaka to retreat, and finally used his four legs to kick violently, and flew up the mountain-like divine crystal. It rolled on it, and the wound on its back caused by the yaka continued to heal at a visible rate, and the devil's toxins and pathogens were eliminated. At this time, it can't exert any influence on Yaka, and the Deep Hell Purgatory can also come to the divine crystal and use the divine energy inside to heal itself. But Yaka thought of Feiqi's warning that divine power is a short-term stimulant and a long-term poison for the devil, and a devil with ideals, especially a devil who wants to follow Feiqi's continuous progress, should not use the Divine Crystal.
She only heals with her stored infernal powers, much slower than the greedy toad. Moreover, in terms of the total amount, the storage of Yaka is not as good as the Divine Crystal Mountain in front of him, so the final relationship between victory and defeat is already very obvious.
Before the Deep Hell Purgatory could recover thirty percent, the Greedy Toad had already recovered. This time, it stood on the Crystal Mountain and fired a beam of light with its full sixteen eyes, focusing on Yaka.
Another wall of fire appeared, shattered by the rays again, and flames fell in all directions like flying petals. The greedy toad's eyes immediately scattered and looked around, attacking every flame petal in the air. It thinks that the Hellpurgator will follow its instinctive tactics, or repeat the trick of the last flame teleportation. But after it had struggled to shatter all the flame petals, Yaka did not emerge from any of them.
"Boom!" the greedy toad roared, and a powerful sound wave radiated out of its bloody mouth, shaking violently from the Crystal Mountain, the Temple, and the Cave. The cloud of dust that fell from above was blown away by the sound waves, turning into a violent sandstorm. As the sandstorm swept by, a huge figure appeared in the air, a tall figure of Yaka with outstretched wings. Instead of jumping and teleporting through the flames, she retreated as fast as she could, using invisibility to deceive. She used her body to stand in front of the contract demons, buying them one last bit of time. Now that the circle on the ground has been drawn, Yaka has also entered her own mana.
The red flames form a circle that illuminates the central spatial passage. At the other end of the passage is a storage room that Yaka has built in the Floating Continent Fortress to store the Divine Crystals that Feige has collected. Only she knew about the existence of this room, so that the other demons would not have different intentions.
The two surviving contract demons raised their heads, their eyes a little frightened and a little nervous. None of them are stupid, the Divine Crystals are a good thing that the Deep Hell Purgatory Demons covet, and they don't know if these crystals are for Feiqi or Yaka himself, and they want to save their lives but don't know who to swear to intercede. Yaka saw what they were thinking, and said categorically, "I'll hold this old toad in tow, and you will transport the crystals over." So many dead today, need the devil advanced supplement. I'll make sure your lordship knows about your merits, and at least upgrade you to Horned Demon!"
Upgrading to a Horned Demon is more like a real promise than upgrading to a Deep Hell Purgatory, and the two Contract Demons don't have time to discuss a more advantageous contract, so they immediately agree. Just as Yaka rushed towards the Greedy Toad again, the two contract demons also rushed towards the Divine Crystal Mountain. The spells of the Hell Runes appear with the Hell Pact with the Phnom Penh, and they want to exchange their savings for "magic (miracles)" to Hell and move the entire mountain to the portal.
There is no difference between the devotion of the gods who pray for miracles with the power of their devout souls, and the devils of hell who trade their savings for the same thing. The Greedy Toad has a divine nature, and it knows both kinds of deals, and it knows what they are going to do when they see the Hell Pact Demon's Hell Contract. These divine crystals are the flesh of its heart, and they can't be greedy for it, how can they be robbed?
Greed didn't care about Yaka at all, kicked his four legs, and pounced directly on the contract demon. It opened its mouth, and its tentacle tongue shot out, entangled the two guys in an instant. It wasn't until they met in person that the contract demons understood how powerful this toad really was, and if it weren't for Yaka's protection, they wouldn't have survived to complete the magic circle. But now Yaka didn't protect them, not even the slightest intention of saving them, but took advantage of the gap exposed by the greedy toad's attack, and rushed to the bottom of the Divine Crystal Mountain with an arrow step, separating these treasures from their original owners.
"Hell save us, let's get out of here!" The contract demon instantly changed the content of the Hell contract, and invested all his savings into the contract regardless of the cost. The gold-edged scroll burst into flames, turning into two red flames with a hellish aura. The two flames burrowed into the contract demon's forehead and emerged from behind the skull, quickly flying towards the portal not far away.
The greedy toad's tongue curled back, and the two contract demons were pulled violently without any resistance. At the same time, greed is also sucking the space, which causes the contract demon's body to be compressed and smaller, and it falls into the frog's mouth very smoothly. The greedy toad was not satisfied with eating its body, and then stared at the two hellish flames that were about to escape. It smells its soul from the flames, and it is clear that the two flames will bring the two contract demons back to the hell environment to be reborn. It felt that it had finally launched an attack, the cost had already been paid, and the benefits had to be complete, and if it didn't eat those two souls, it would be a loss. With a sharp suck, it sucked in and ate back the two infernal flames, along with the space around it.
Hell also has a temper, and the act of interfering with Hell to fulfill the contract is a provocation to Hell. As a result, the two flames flew out violently, and even dragged out the tentacle tongue wrapped around the flames like the giant's strong hand. The greedy toad was dragged forward, leaving a deep furrow in the ground and approaching the location of the teleportation channel. It immediately decided that this was a conspiracy, a trap set to take advantage of the "radiant" part of its character, and that the teleportation channel on the other side must be a very hostile environment for it.
Thinking of this, it immediately unleashed divine power on its tongue. Not to put pressure on Hell, but to apologize: to expend his divine power so that the flames could let go of their tongues. Hell never forgives, but after receiving the sincerity, it no longer dragged the toad to Hell, but let the flames burn off two of its tongues as a warning, and then Shi Shiran flew into the teleportation channel and left. The greedy toad felt that it had suffered a small loss in this game, but if it was more familiar with the rules of hell and knew that those two contract demons would only become bad demons when they returned to hell, it would definitely be half killed by their own stupidity and the big loss they ate.
The devil who has spent all his savings can only become a bad demon, and Hell has always acted strictly according to the contract, and never makes a loss-making business.
The greedy toad flicked his tongue and slowly looked back to find that Yaka had completed the process of recovery. She was alive and ready to fight. "Boom!" the toad cherished words like gold. As long as you don't enter the portal that looks like a trap, then spend some energy to eat this deep hell purgatory, absorb her power and nutrients, and end the devil's floating continent fortress by the way, then this battle will be a big profit no matter what.
It rushed forward and took the initiative to wrestle with Yaka. Although hand-to-hand combat is a specialty of the Hellpurgatory, Yaka is barely able to dodge the attacks of the eyeball rays when he gets close. In addition, Yaka has to find ways to keep the toad away from the Divine Crystal and prevent it from recovering, which limits her combat options. As Yaka's hellish goodwill stored in the evil aura continued to drain, Toad finally gained the upper hand.
Yaka was covered in bruises, the wounds on her body that had accumulated from too much space to the surface, and she had become like a rag doll abandoned by her master and gnawed by rats. The greedy toad returned to the Divine Crystal and sat comfortably on it, all its eyes sparkling. This shows that the victory and defeat are divided, and the toad only needs to gather strength, open his mouth, and swallow it in one gulp, to end the fight.
The Deep Hell Purgatory was unwilling, but she still took out the Escape Elemental Gem that Feige had given her. This thing could open a teleportation tunnel and send her back. Yaka knew that with just a slight pinch, he could get out of the fight. But at the same time, she worries about the punishment she will suffer for her failure. She didn't want to disappoint Feiqi, and this idea activated a crazy idea: if she smashed the escape gem on the Divine Crystal Mountain, could she forcibly teleport the Divine Crystal away, and she only needed to contribute some energy and let the Hell Contract take her away, even if it was better to be demoted than to fail.
Feiqi, who had been watching the battle, understood her thoughts through his eyes and intervened the moment she rushed towards the Divine Crystal Mountain. He partially turned his left hand into the Mind Spinner's Soul Claw, then pressed it towards the Eye of Koktar ring, injecting mana into it. This soul power activated the core of the Phantom Serpent's Astral Fragment, causing it to grow a nail and add strength from the virtual transformation, shattering the Escape Gem.
"What's going on?" Yaka was surprised by everyone, she only felt an irresistible force coming from the gem, and then she was swept into the spatial passage. The phantom snake appeared for a short time and had few parts, and no one paid attention to this thing the size of a fingernail. Yaka also thought that she had accidentally crushed the elemental gem, so she fell into deep self-blame and fear.
Fei Qi took over the teleportation and placed the exit of the spatial passage in front of him, lest such a loyal and useful Hellpurgatory Demon not be able to open it.
This time the operation failed, mainly because it was not expected that there would be a god entrenched in the smallest divine crystal inventory, so it was not prepared accordingly. Feige doesn't blame Yaka for this, but instead trains her specifically. At the same time, the tactics of the second world must also be adjusted, after all, this time has already alarmed the greed of one of the four horsemen.
He only wanted to get Yaka back now, so the spatial passage was unremarkable, just very stable, and there was no defenses, traps, or baits in it. Yaka rolls out of it and finds herself slumped in front of Feige. Before she could hear Feige's words of comfort or reprimand, she saw her Hellpurgatory Master's eyes widen.
The greedy toad followed.
It judged that this seemingly perfect, sturdy, stable, fast, and unfancy escape route, since there were no energy fluctuations on the other side that attracted it, so it would not be a trap anyway, only a safe hideout for the Deep Hell Purgatory. As long as it uses a little divine power in the divine crystal to keep the teleportation channel open, it can go to the opposite side to kill the Deep Hell Purgator, which will not take long and cost. And the upside: not only can you solve the hidden dangers in one place, but it is also possible to find powerful and precious treasures from the safe hiding place of the devil.
So, it followed, and it and Feige met in this unprepared situation. They stared at each other wide-eyed, and their location was on the seventh level of Hell, in Feiqi's territory.
