The Monster's defenses, as Apaya said, were far more difficult to breach than before. Its skin could not be pierced by even the sharpest objects, and the arrows that had been able to destroy the turrets and pierce the golden guards through the holes were lightly dissipated on the slippery skin, and finally fell feebly back to the ground.

"That outer skin doesn't seem to be mucus or some other 'tangible' thing attached to that skin, right?" Talos frowned and said, "Its skin is made up of just some solid compounds, and it's better to say that there is a 'magical reaction' on it than to say that there is something on it. ”

This sentence woke Reins up, and she hadn't thought about it before - although she had seen examples of simulating liquid defenses through magic, it was too useless to be used in real combat.

Liquid defense consumes far more mana than defenses in enchantment and solid form. Several boundary points resonate with each other to form an enchantment, the repulsion and attraction of magic forces allow them to naturally form a stable shape, and the protection of solids once established is based on the entity itself.

Liquid defenses, on the other hand, are unable to do either of these two, as liquids will disperse into irregular beads without sufficient support, and liquid defenses will absorb mana to a certain extent, resulting in an inability to form itself in a magneto-like manner like enchantments, so it needs to use far more mana than it can absorb to stabilize its shape.

However, the defense of the liquid state naturally has its advantages. Its properties are perfect for defending against airborne attacks, and the liquid form that can be used as a defense is different from ordinary liquids, which is reflected in its ability to absorb magical energy, so when facing magical attacks whose specific attributes are not yet determined, liquid defense is more effective than enchantment defense.

However, the mana consumption of liquid defense is still so large that people generally believe that its advantages are not so worthy of being used as a common means, and this perception also applies to the people of the Philip Mercenary Regiment, so even if Rhines has read about this type of defense in books, he has never considered applying it to practice.

Obviously, the problem of mana consumption that is difficult for ordinary people to solve is not worth mentioning here in Roseos, they only need to capture a large number of demonic beasts, or let the chess piece killers who have been "captive" by them sacrifice their own magic power to provide a defensive formation covering the entire body of this demonic beast.

Once she realized the possibility, Reins immediately noticed the faint fluctuation of magic on the surface of the beast, and when Lilian slashed at the beast again in order to confirm her conjecture, the attacked part and the surrounding area had a more obvious magical reaction, like water ripples that dissolved the strength of Lilian's attack.

"The outer layer of this monster is completely protected by liquid defense, and if we don't break this layer of defense, there is too little we can do to it."

Reinth frowned and thought, Fili's magic-friendly Ella and Illian had to stay behind to maintain the interception net, otherwise the gas emitted by the monsters would still have an impact on Apaya, but if she was the only one to deal with the defense of Roses to maintain the mana supply, it would be too difficult, and it might not even be effective.

"Who else here has the power to control magic?" Reinth asked, "Pat is sure, I know, and the leaders of Morfi have known magic for too little time for any of you to learn it secretly." ”

In fact, the subject of Reins's questioning was very clear—she didn't know what happened to Boe and his friends, but she could clearly feel the aura of ancient magic in them. It could not be washed away by any means, and she and Apaya's bodies were tainted as they frequented the ruins.

Most of the time she and Apaya's encounters were ruins of their own defenses that had been shattered, and the aura left by the gods in them had almost completely disappeared, so the aura of ancient magic they were contaminated with was very rare. The aura of Boe's companions was much thicker than that of her and Apaya's, and she couldn't be sure that they had traveled to and from some of the complete ruins with high frequency, for whatever reason.

Since they were able to get in and out of the ruins, it meant that they weren't just proficient in physical combat. There are many traps and levels in the ruins that require magic to break, and brute force can't solve all of them.

Boe, apparently aware of this, looked at his companions, who only nodded slightly, and Boe himself stepped forward with—unexpectedly, the man with the shield.

"My magic isn't very deep." "I'm just good at breaking through this defensive magic, and I think that's what you need." ”

Reins nodded, then looked at the man beside him. I don't know how he operated it, but I saw him disassemble his shield and reassemble it into a knight's spear in three or two clicks, and then Reins recognized this person as the one he had used to deal with the Soul Wounding Beast.

Oh, she can't be blamed for that, she doesn't feel like she should waste her time on irrelevant people.

"Epipote is more proficient in magic." Boe introduced his companion to Rhines, "he ...... Well, for some reason, he's better at magic in the direction of light and earth. ”

"Hey, Boe, there's nothing to hide." Epiperta said with a relaxed face, "I was originally the heir of a knightly family, so this magical affinity is ancestral. Well, maybe you guys will know about that family? It has served the Iop Church for generations, the same church in which this 'Divine Messenger' is located. ”

Each church has its own knights, which is also to protect the church itself, and the knights of the Iop church are the elite of the knights, because they have served the church for generations, and their loyalty and strength are not comparable to those of the knights who are scattered.

"So......" Pat cupped his chin thoughtfully, "I did hear the priest mention that the original heir of the Knights' head had left the family because of a quarrel with him, and had made the captain so angry that he was almost bedridden and had not been able to come to church for about a week, and when he came again, he announced that he had chosen his daughter as his heir, which was a real sensation at the time. ”

Epiperte's expression froze for a moment, then she touched the back of her head with a snort.

"The old man is sick in bed? Ahaha, that's impossible, the old guy is as strong as a monster, how can he be so angry because of this kind of thing......" His voice grew quieter and quieter, and Boe just patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "He asked Tova to be the heir?" Oh my God, what was he thinking, Tova was still a little girl......"

"Ahem, Tova, the daughter of the Knight Master, whose full name is Tovasier." Boe helped his companion explain, "Ypi is just...... It's just that I prefer a freer life. ”

Pat just smiled indifferently, not intending to care.

"The affairs of the Knights are separate from ours." He said gently, "though we are all under the control of the priest, we have no right to interfere with each other, so there is no need to worry that I will say something, although the Grand Master of the Knight seems to be eager to see his son again. ”

Epiper looked even more uncomfortable, and Reins interrupted their conversation with a shake of her head.

"That's your church's business, can you put that later?" She looked at the monster that was being entangled by Lilian, who looked like she was running out of patience, "What is in front of her is more important. ”

They nodded silently, then looked at the beast with her.

"With our abilities, it would be unwise to try to confront the entire supply of Roseos' mana." Reinth carefully felt the fluctuations in the magic power on the beast's body, "However, maybe we can find a breakthrough point, and we can make effective progress as long as we briefly disrupt its defensive balance." ”

Unabashedly, Reins turned her gaze to Talos, who was approaching them, who reflexively shrunk his neck, and then realized that he was not doing anything weak, so he straightened his chest and walked to Boe's side and stood up.

"It's time for you to come in handy, Talos."

"Excuse me? Did I work as a day job? Talos rolled his eyes, "So, what do I need to do?" ”

Reins didn't pay any attention to Talos's previous complaints, she just gave him a heart-beating smirk.

"It's not a particularly difficult thing, Talos. If you can do that, I'll help you say something nice to the leaders of Murfi and get you into the family ahead of time. ”

Talos looked at her suspiciously, and although he didn't seem to trust Reins, he decided to find out what he was going to do first.

"You need to observe the direction of the magic of the outer skin of the monster. The nature of Liquid Defense means that its magic is in a constant flux, but there must be some kind of pattern to ensure that its circulation is effective. ”

“…… That sounds reasonable. Talos commented, "But I guess it's not more than that?" ”

Reines praised his acquaintance.

"Of course. You'll also need to look at how it changes when it's attacked in different ways and with different forces, and look for things like formulas - in short, you'll need to come up with a plan for how we can attack to be more effective. Is it to look for the weakest part based on the flow of mana, or is it more vulnerable to the weak point of mana it creates when attacked by a certain type. ”

Looking at Talos's ugly face, Reins smiled compassionately.

"You have to do this even if you don't want to, and I even pay you accordingly, don't you think it's worth it?"
