Chapter 1078: Devouring Heaven and Earth
Chapter 1078: Devouring Heaven and Earth
"These ......" Although Gehr didn't dare to deceive Lin Li, he was a little hesitant when he answered. Although these abyss demons in front of him are all of the legendary level, and their strength should be considered good, but judging from the vision of Gehr who was once the Lord of Devouring, he is a little disdainful of these abyss demons. He still remembered that when he signed the contract, Lin Li had said that he would find a powerful enough demon for himself as a host, so he was naturally even more reluctant to just give in.
"I need you to exert a certain ability, let's find one to use now, and then find a better one for you later." Lin Li and Gehr had a soul connection, so they naturally immediately knew what the other party was worried about.
"Okay, okay, as long as it's a flesh and blood demon, I can parasitize." Because among the abyssal demons that poured in, there were stone demons covered in granite, and there were also flame demons covered in flames, so Geer made a condition that he had to have flesh and blood.
This condition was actually not unexpected, so when he asked Gehr, Lin Li had already chosen a target in that group of abyssal demons. Hearing the answer at this time, Lin Li directly waved his hand outward, and an incomparably huge magic hand broke through the void and stretched into the abyss demon group, and soon grabbed the target and came out.
This is a twenty-second level abyssal griffin, the strength of the demon group is considered to be the top, and it has a very close blood relationship with the griffin domesticated by the griffin knights of the French Kingdom, but due to the different living environment, the body shape and the power of manipulation are quite different. For example, in terms of size, the Abyssal Griffin is more powerful, the fur on its body is also the popular black in the Abyss, and the power of manipulation is even more biased towards darkness and evil.
The twenty-second level of the Abyss Griffin is also quite a powerful abyss demon, and it can even fight two or three humans of the same level with its own strength. But with such strength, in the hands of Lin Li's magic, this abyssal griffin has no power to resist at all, except for the constant roar, it can't even do a little extra struggle.
Lin Li imprisoned the abyssal griffin, threw it in front of Gehr, and said without question: "You can parasitize on its body first." ”
In fact, Geer's current strength, if purely in terms of spell casting, is probably much stronger than that of ordinary human mages of the same level. However, for a Sacred Domain powerhouse like Lin Li, it was actually useless to have one or two more legendary peak combat power in the exploration team.
Lin Li spent his time trying to subdue Gehr, what he valued was his ability to devour everything, if he hadn't valued this ability, he would have cut Gehr with a sword. And in order for Gehr to better exert his devouring ability, a powerful demon host body is indispensable.
It's not that without a host, Gell can't use his devouring ability, but having a suitable host body will undoubtedly allow his abilities to be used to a greater extent.
In fact, if you think about it from the simplest aspect, you can imagine how many things a thing with a body the size of a fist can swallow, no matter how powerful the devouring ability is. Like the Lord of Devouring before, that huge body, swallowing the sky's huge mouth, can even swallow several alchemy colossas at once, and devouring those abyss demons is like drinking water. If you change to a small body like Gehr now, can you do that, I'm afraid you can only devour ants.
Of course, even if it was replaced with the body of an abyssal griffin, Gehr would not be able to devour the sky and earth in one gulp like before, but at least it would be able to make its devouring ability not so weak.
In fact, for Gehr, the host's body is like a realm of his, a realm of decomposition full of rules that decompose everything. Unless Gehr can step into the realm of the Holy Realm, if he wants to better exert his devouring ability, he can't do without such a realm.
Moreover, Gehr is not like the elemental dragon Xiaohua, who can constantly accumulate magic power into his magic crystal, and most of the power he devours is not entirely his own. Therefore, he needs to use the host's body to store the magic power he has devoured, and then slowly absorb and transform it himself.
The Abyssal Griffin, whose power had been imprisoned, lay honestly in the open space in the middle of the exploration team, its eyes full of anger and horror. Now Gehr can be said to be a fully mature body, parasitic an abyssal griffin that is only twenty-two levels, and there is basically no difficulty in parasitizing it. Although he didn't look down on this abyssal griffin, he didn't dare to disobey Lin Li's order in the slightest, and he didn't know what he was muttering, and flew to the front of the abyssal griffin.
Seeing such an ugly little thing as Gehr flying closer, the abyssal griffin immediately roared unceremoniously, showing a deep threat, obviously not knowing the horror of such a monster as the Devourer. Naturally, Gehr would not miss this opportunity, and when the abyssal griffin roared, it flew into the bloody mouth like lightning in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Archbishop Martin and other people who did not know the truth were suddenly taken aback. Isn't this self-defeating, the abyssal griffin's mouth full of sharp teeth can even be crushed by steel, let alone a small body like Gehr's.
Soon, however, the abyssal griffin that was drilled into Gehr's mouth began to undergo astonishing changes in its body. First of all, the body of the Abyss Griffon, like an inflated balloon, quickly inflated when it was seen, and the strong physique, which was originally full of explosive power, became very bloated after a while.
The size of the Abyss Griffin has swelled to the size of three alchemy colosses, and it even makes people wonder if it will explode with a "bang" if it is pricked with a needle. But that wasn't the end of it, and then the great jaw of the Abyssal Griffin was seen, and suddenly it cracked in both sides, until it was on its already very thick neck, and it looked as if its head had been split in half from its mouth.
Snakes can swallow prey many times larger than their own heads, because they can detach the bones of their jaws, and the Abyssal Griffin probably does the same now, so it can open its mouth very wide. The abyssal griffin's current huge mouth is almost as big as its transformed body, it is like a huge bucket coming sideways, although it is not enough to swallow the alchemy colossus in one gulp, but it is still no problem to swallow a dozen people in one bite.
Then, on the surface of the Abyssal Griffin's body, the black fur fell off one by one, replaced by a layer of translucent crystals, neatly arranged in scales, gradually covering the entire body. This layer of crystalline scales looks as fragile as glass, but the actual defense power is probably not inferior to the dragon scales.
Soon, Gehr completed the transformation of the host's body, and of course, the appearance of the Abyssal Griffin was unsurprisingly unrecognizable again. The bloated body, exaggerated mouth, and full of crystalline scales made the originally majestic abyssal griffin turn into an incomparably ugly unknown creature.
And it wasn't until this time that Archbishop Martin and the others finally knew why Lin Li bothered to subdue such a subordinate as Gehr.
Originally, seeing Lin Li dissecting the body of the Devouring Lord to force out Gehr, Archbishop Martin and others all believed that Gehr was just a parasite in the body of the Devouring Lord, just like there would inevitably be parasites in the stomach of humans or beasts. But now, seeing that Gehr has transformed an abyssal griffin into this form, it is somewhat similar to the previous Devouring Lord. Only then did they realize that the real Devourer was not the demon who seemed to be amazingly huge.
Thinking back to the terrifying power displayed by the Devouring Lord before, Archbishop Martin and the others couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle. That is a force that can compete with the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, and if the Tower of Dusk really has such a combat power, the strength is undoubtedly another huge increase.
Of course, the current Gehr, even if he has a new host, his strength is still not comparable to that of the Devouring Lord. After all, at the beginning, he had accumulated thousands of years of power here, and he didn't know how many abyssal demons he devoured, as well as the treasures originally collected here, to reach that height.
"Disgusting, it's such a disgusting look, it's so disgusting that people want to vomit, do you only have excrement in your head?" As an opponent, in the face of Gehr's current appearance, Angelano naturally had a burst of cynicism.
"Shut up, dwarf!"
Gehr's mind is not broad at all, if he changes to another place and another time, he quarrels with Angelano for three days and three nights, and even does it directly. But now, he knew very well in his heart that if he quarreled with Angelano, he would only provoke the displeasure of his master. The other party is not bound by the contract, so naturally there is nothing to worry about, but he is bound by the soul contract, and the unlucky one must be himself in the end.
However, Gehr did not quarrel with Angelano, but he was not showing weakness, but cunningly wanted to make Angelano's performance cause Lin Li's disgust in this way. As the saying goes, it is to get used to him, or to make it perish, to make it mad first.
"What, dwarf? You have the ability to get out of that disgusting thing, let's compare to see who is shorty! Angelano doesn't really care much about her height, because it's a fact, and with the goblin aesthetic, this height is undoubtedly perfect. But when these words came out of Geer's mouth, he couldn't accept it no matter what, what qualifications did a fist-sized thing have to say that he was short!
Looking at the angry Angelano, Gehr was a little proud, but he didn't show it at all, but said seriously: "Don't look at what time it is, do you think everyone is as idle as you!" ”
"Geer, are you idle, get out of here when the transformation is done." How could Geer's little trick be hidden from Lin Li, not to mention that there is a soul contract connection between them. It's just that it's not a big deal, Lin Li is too lazy to bother with this guy who thinks he's smart.
"Yes, at your service, my master." Hearing Lin Li's scolding, Gehr's tone immediately changed, full of flattery and flattery, and he twisted his bloated body and walked outside the team. Now that he has completely accepted his fate, the soul contract has been signed, what can he do if he doesn't accept his fate, and naturally he has completely accepted the status of a slave.
Now that Gehr has a host and has also undergone some transformation, his strength is still 108,000 miles short of the Lord of Devouring, and there is only one way to improve his strength, which is to accumulate strength through continuous devouring. Therefore, those abyssal demons who are now besieging the exploration team are naturally the best source of strength.
Through the passage of the exploration team, Gell wriggled his huge bloated body and came to the periphery of the exploration team. Those abyssal demons didn't give him face at all, the former devouring master, and as soon as he appeared, he was attacked by the abyss demons frantically.
The abyssal demons here are all above the legendary level, and the innate magic they use contains the power of the rules of the legendary realm, and at this time, they are all coming together with an incomparably terrifying momentum, even the legendary peak powerhouses do not dare to resist head-on alone.
But Gehr was precisely the nemesis of this dense magic attack, directly facing the overwhelming magic and opening its huge mouth, and then saw the magic in the sky suddenly accelerate towards his mouth. This can really be called a whale swallowing, what abyss black flame, hell ice, thunder and lightning, flame meteors, all kinds of magic converge into a huge funnel shape, Gehr's huge mouth is the bottom of the funnel.
This shows the benefits of Gehr's transformation of the host's body, the huge mouth almost as wide as the body, making the whole body seem to become a large pocket, a bottomless pit of massive devouring the incoming magic. If it weren't for this host body, Eger's fist-sized small body would not have been able to be so efficient before stepping into the Sacred Realm realm.
The magic that came at Gehr was devoured by him in the blink of an eye, but this was not the end. Immediately behind the Magic Storm were a dozen or so Abyss Demons in hand-to-hand combat, a sturdy alchemy colossus that was barely inferior to Lordaeron. However, before these abyssal demons could rush to Gehr's approach, they were sucked off the ground by a huge suction, and one by one, they flew like moths to the flames, heading straight for Gehr's bloody mouth.
Watching Gehr swallow everything like this before, Archbishop Martin and the others only felt chills and even fear, because the other party was their enemy, and it was their own people who were devoured. But now, seeing Gehr's devouring trend again, due to the different positions of the other party, Archbishop Martin and the others are naturally in a different mood.
Although, in the eyes of any person, the host body that Gehr has transformed is so ugly. However, no matter what kind of attack comes, the momentum that I swallow from myself is still quite shocking.
