"According to the message from the teacher, this is it!"

Alice, who looked a little embarrassed because of the battle all the way, compared the map with the cave in front of her and confirmed.

The protruding part of the cavern looked like a giant catfish half-buried in the earth—mottled moss made up the skin, exposed millstone-sized stones looked like eyes, and the aerial roots of the trees that broke through the ground were not much different from catfish whiskers.

The dark, dark and deep cave was the catfish's mouth, wide and flat, so that even the petite Theo, the smallest of the three, had to lower his head to enter, let alone the other two girls.

"Do you want to go in?" Sitting on a mossy bluestone, Tio swallowed the portable food in his mouth and asked Alyssa, who was still eating the portable food to regain her magic.

Around the three of them, there were a large number of bear goblins, the corpses of fallen halflings - it took a lot of effort and effort for the three of them to clean up the monsters guarding the entrance to the cave.

Putting the uneaten on-the-go food back into her dry food pocket, Alyssa carefully surveyed the area around the cave and the entrance.

As the default team leader, Alyssa knows that she is inferior to Sophia in many aspects, so she will always be cautious about what she will do.

Just like today's crusade, they had already stepped around the forest yesterday, but they still went to find a village to recuperate for the night, and only after they were ready to do so.

From the beginning of the crusade to the present, except for the degenerate halflings who brought a little trouble in their calculations, everything else was almost expected.

And in yesterday's deduction, the culprit in this cave should be the culprit of this mutation.

"Wait a minute, it's not quite right."

The attentive girl immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"It's too dark! Even the very shallow, outside light can reach the place is pitch black! She pulled Alice, who was at the entrance of the cave, back a few steps, and Alice grabbed the doll True Red dangling in front of her. Holding it in his arms, he stepped back to the stone where Theo was sitting: "There's something wrong with that shadow!" ”

Theo and Alyssa looked at each other and nodded approvingly. Then he drew his wand and used a two-ring wind elemental magic 'Thunder Orb' towards the shadow at the entrance of the cave.

The incandescent lightning exploded in the shadows at the entrance to the cavern, turning into several silver snakes dancing in it.

Suddenly, a howl of anger and pain came from the cavern!

The next moment. The 'darkness' inside the cave mouth began to gush out of the cave like mud as if it had come to life, and gradually formed a huge human form that was two stories high.

"Demons? Shadow creatures? Alice's face turned pale with fright. The hand holding the real red trembled a little.

"It's the Nightmare Mourning Demon, a subspecies of the Shadow Demon!" Although Alyssa looked a little better than Alice, the knuckles of her wand were a little white from overexertion.

The Shadow Demon has a full level of 21 crusades, and the Nightmare Demon has a level modifier of ±5 on top of the Shadow Demon.

In other words, the mighty Nightmare Mourning Demon will have 26 levels, and the weakest Newborn Nightmare Mourning Demon will have a high level of 16 crusades!

The reason why there is a difference of 10 levels between the strength and weakness of the same creature is because the Nightmare Demon has an extremely strange spell-like ability.

Although as a subspecies of the Shadow Demon. Nightmare are also classified as a combination of demonic and shadow creatures, but unlike shadow demons, these monsters, which are said to have been born from the negative desires of humans, do not have the ability to blend themselves into the shadows, but can 'pollute' other creatures through their innate spell abilities, causing them to become dark creatures at the same time. Use it for yourself.

"I see, it's a nightmare mourning demon." Xiwei touched his chin and sighed with emotion: "No wonder the camera cuts to pitch black, because the entire cave is filled with this guy except for the treasure chest, of course, no matter how you look at it, it's pitch black." ”

After learning that the source of the anomaly could not be monitored, Sophia felt powerless. She actually faced the enemy for a night because of this problem.

But then the girl raised her spirit again: "How is the strength of this nightmare mourning demon?" Alyssa: Are they all right? ”

"Rest assured, this Nightmare Mourning Demon should be a monster native to the Tower of Trials, the birth time is still short, and the crusade level is only about level 17, as long as you pay attention to some things, with Alyssa, they should still have no problem."

Sivi observed the battle in the crystal ball, and looked like he was full of confidence in his students: "But if you let them fight like this, you should suffer a small loss, so it's better to add some tips......"

- The Tower of the Endless Sky? Black Goblin Forest (tentative name) –

Alyssa was a little relieved, although this nightmare mourning demon was very strong, it still seemed to be at a disadvantage under the combined efforts of the three of them.

It seems that as long as you don't get too impatient, you can grind this monster to death sooner or later.

At this moment, the Mourning Demon suddenly stopped moving and began to raise his head to the sky and scream, emitting bursts of piercing sound waves.

The three of them were afraid that it would make any dangerous moves, and they all took a step back, staring at each other cautiously.

To Alyssa's surprise, while the sound waves were unusually loud and distracting, they didn't make any sense at all like a real sonic attack like Banshee's Howl.

And that howl has ups and downs, and it feels like a ...... A language?

"It's the Abyssal Whisper, 'Wake up, my warrior,' the guy is chanting a spell."

"Teacher?!"

Sivi's sudden voice startled the three of them.

"The Pollution of the Nightmare Demon can contaminate a certain amount of ordinary creatures into dark creatures, and after their death, they will be contaminated again and become undead!"

Sivi's voice didn't mean to make small talk with them, and immediately pointed out the danger they might be facing right now—in fact, corpses were already starting to staggering to their feet......

"Lead the Nightmare to a place where there are no corpses, or you'll get harder and harder."

It may be because Sivi's voice made Alyssa feel very relieved, and now the girl's face no longer has the tension that it had at the beginning.

She raised her head and gave orders to Theo and Alice while attacking the Nightmare Demon: "Theo, I will lure the Nightmare Demon away with you, Alice's undead here, please clean it up first!" ”

"Understood." "Understood!"

"Hmm, good job. Worthy of being my student. Sivi watched Alyssa's battle and praised them without hesitation.

"That should be fine." Seeing that the mutation in the Tower of Trials seemed to be about to be resolved, Sophia was also very happy.

"No, the Nightmare Mourning Demon isn't that weak...... In fact, there are a few people missing from my script. Sylvie smiled, and the image on the crystal ball changed to four other bear children in the jungle.

"Let me see if these are brave men or mere fools......" (To be continued.) )
