Chapter 7: The Fog

If you look closely at the monsters in that circle, you will find that there is indeed no way to describe this kind of monster in words, as Patchy said.

For it looked like a wriggling mist of solids, or a glue of countless pieces of flesh. The pitch-black body seems to have a glued, translucent texture. Countless visceral-like things could be clearly seen wriggling in his turbid and amorphous body. Dozens of eye-like organs opened and closed on his wriggling exterior, and the smell of rotten eggs and dead fish was permeating his body.

Just a little sniff, Anta's face turned iron-blue. Even the little witch's face was extremely difficult to look at. Seeing this, Akon wisely cast a sober spell, filled with fluorescent purification magic, quickly isolated the stench of the black monster, allowing several people to observe the monster with more sober eyes.

For the little girl, although she has also come into contact with a lot of disgusting monsters in the forest, it is really rare to come into contact with such a strange monster that is disgusting. It's just that the moment the monster came to the arcane circle, the spell chain was lifted.

Then, as if he was still afraid of something disgusting, he rubbed his palms a few times nervously.

"Gelatinous monsters? Looks pretty rare. I guess it has something to do with the bone glue monster. ”

Akon looked at it with a professional eye and came to a more cautious conclusion.

It looked like a slime monster made up of a bunch of guts, bones, and glue by a psychologically twisted madman. Anta, who has excellent psychological endurance, also turned pale when he saw a palm appear in his body, covered his mouth and retched a few times. Even Akon's face wasn't so good-looking.

This half-human-tall monster looks a bit similar to the bone glue monster that dominates the dark region, but the monster that can only exist in this kind of mental space is still much worse than his distant relatives.

It's not about appearance, it's just a gap in combat effectiveness.

Just an ordinary bone glue monster can even become a moving natural disaster, and those large glue monsters that have lived for a long time and can fill several caves with just their bodies are no longer described by monsters. Even an all-knowing person like Akon would have to be at least level twenty to curb the terrifying abilities of that monster a little.

The monster in the spell circle was unexpectedly stable, but it stayed in the circle peacefully, and after being imprisoned and free by the rainbow-colored witch spell chain in Patsy's hand, it seemed that it had completely lost any sense of resistance.

Compared to the large, rampaging monsters, this half-human-tall black gum monster seemed to be a lot easier to deal with.

Or rather, it doesn't have any desire to attack in the first place. At least judging from the stability of this mental space and the spiritual waves it conveys, this monster is not so much a living mastermind as a zombie or something. That calm, stagnant spirit, made Akon frown deeply.

"That's weird." The mage frowned and muttered something unnaturally.

Puppets, or unintentional beasts. Other than that, nothing else is able to maintain tranquility in such a space. But it is not a beast that can appear in the spiritual space, that is to say, there is a master of mind in the vicinity.

This kind of development is honestly a bit more than he expected.

Because as long as people with a little common sense can see that this kind of space is as weak as scum in front of the mage. Any mage with a standard strength or higher can easily blast the entire space into slag. And Aken, who is a secret sage, can even use only the second-level strength to penetrate the entire space like a sieve.

This is completely counterintuitive.

And what is even more noticeable is that the origin of the monster is unrecognizable to Akon. This means that this monster is 100% artificial life. Only those monsters who do not belong to nature can make the arcane sages not know their origins.

But for such a rare man-made monster to ambush such a small town and inn is as incredible as a magic crystal cannon to fight mosquitoes. Making a gelatinous monster itself takes time and effort, after all, the gel monster is not a slime, not such a good thing to produce. And the hardcover version of this kind of thing appeared here, or a puppet, it would be strange.

Maybe it just means that an unimaginable archmage is watching here?

No way, the archmage won't be so idle.

Akon shook his head, somewhat cautiously refuting his guess.

"And then? Does the Sage have any knowledge of this kind of monster? ”

Patchy, dressed in pajamas, glanced at the monster in the circle with disgust, and then set her eyes on Akon, who seemed to be a little embarrassed. The amethyst-like pupils were filled with indifference and a hint of trust brought by disgust.

The disgust, of course, is because of the kind of indifference and unscrupulous means that Akon has shown to deeply befriend this witch of knowledge. This disgust was only heightened when the book was later delivered to Akon as a means of compensation. What's more, they are both intellectual professions themselves, and it is really normal to dislike each other.

But when it comes to trust, Patsy naturally trusts the cold-faced mage next to her.

Although he doesn't seem to have any human emotions, in fact, a professional male mage is familiar with any situation. At least until now, he didn't show any tricky expressions.

The library war is not a test of dead reading, and those who can achieve high rankings are basically archmages or university scholars with both talent and learning. And Akon was able to kill all the mages in the world with a strong identity and snatch the throne of the secret sage, so he naturally had his powerful side.

If it weren't for the mystery of his whereabouts, I'm afraid that many organizations would have recruited this terrible young man. After all, in the face of the chaotic vortex that affected the whole world, everyone deeply felt their own powerlessness. Even after breaking free from the vortex of chaos, Patchy felt what it meant to be desperate in the face of the great star that fell from the sky. Even after not sleeping well for a month, you can judge what a terrible character Akon's storage zài is to the powerhouse of knowledge.

If such a character can't be trusted, then Patchy simply threw away her title of witch of knowledge and returned to the Elwyn Forest to be a dead house girl for the rest of her life. She's here to break through, not to deliberately go against it.

"It's a little troublesome, but it's not too much trouble."

Looking at Patsy's disgusted eyes mixed with trust, the mage was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"The first thing we have to do is call out all our teammates. But now only you answered my call, and the last one did not answer my call. Although it is said that the spirit wave can retrieve the entire space, it is still a little troublesome under interference. So you may need Patsy to help me next, my energy level alone is not enough to support such a large formation. ”

"What do you mean......"

"I'm going to set up a joint formation. Summoning him directly to this side. ”

Facing Patchy's seemingly puzzled look, Akon said.

"If there is no way to summon the spirit in this kind of space, then the only way to summon it back is to use the joint formation. Pull his people directly into the vortex of time and space, and then reposition them to our side. ”

"But wouldn't that hurt a lot?" Patchy frowned a little in annoyance, looked at the mage beside him with a confident face, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Aren't you afraid that he will appear in front of you as a piece of flesh with broken bones?" Or maybe it's a monster with an arm on a thigh? Are you crazy about opening the calling circle directly in the space? ”

"There is no concept of death in this space, Miss Patchy. Your considerations are superfluous. ”

Akon was not surprised by Patsy's uncooperative attitude, but patiently explained it.

"All we have to do is call on this being, not to really tear his soul apart and throw it into the turbulence of time and space. Everything we do in this space is meaningless, and death is meaningless. Please rest assured about this. ”

"But it's still painful, am I right?"

"The pain of one or two people is meaningless compared to our priorities out of this world."

Akon said as a matter of course, not thinking that there was anything wrong with saying this.

If you look for it, you might find something unexpected. And this hard-to-find stable space may also be blown away by the subspace storm, so compared to going outside to find a male mercenary, Akon still thinks that he is still hiding in this relatively stable ritual place and it is safer to summon him directly.

It's easy, fast, and there's nothing dangerous about it. Although it may be more painful for the recipient, it is very worthwhile to escape from this space. No one wakes up and remembers a qiē clearly. I'm afraid that even the male mercenary himself wakes up, at most he thinks that he is just having a strange dream. Trading a false pain for a chance to win is a bargain that one person can choose.

And for Akon's heartless and heartless approach of only seeking benefits, the little witch who is still kind-hearted obviously can't approve of it. But he couldn't come up with any good means, so he could only grit his teeth and obey the male mage's arrangement.

“…… Ken. Li Lin, you are such a slut. ”

Standing in the direction of the ceremony, Patchy gritted her teeth at Li Lin, who was casting spells.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Akon waved his hand unremittingly.

He doesn't need anything other than success. Judgment or failure has no meaning in the success or failure of things, and this is the life credo that Akon has established for himself since he came out of hell alive.
