Chapter 8: Soul Devouring
The old man waved his hand and lightly touched the edge of the altar, and immediately a small inlaid witch array brightly rose.
Then, he looked at Al and said, "Press your hand on that small mosaic witch array and inject spiritual power into it."
According to your mental strength, you can completely open this small inlaid witch circle as a key.
After that, your mission is complete, and I will hand over this kind of witchcraft [Soul Removal Crystal] to you. ”
As he spoke, the old man's slightly illusory body floated backwards for some distance, giving way to the witch array of the seat key.
Al stepped forward and reached out to press the small witch circle that was the key.
Just as his hand was about to press on the small mosaic witch circle.
Al suddenly spoke, "I hope you can fulfill the deal."
Otherwise, even if I fight hard, I will make you pay!"
After speaking, Al no longer hesitated, and pressed his palm directly on the small mosaic witch array.
Suddenly, the light bloomed, and the witch array that was originally just emitting a glowing light on the altar suddenly shone brightly.
The energy lines that formed the witch array turned into a dark red color like a wandering spirit snake.
Immediately after, a pungent smell of sulfur emanated from the altar.
At this time, the old man's eyes widened, and he laughed, and his body instantly shattered and disappeared.
And that kind of witchcraft fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Al immediately let go of his hand, grabbed the [Spirit Retreat Crystal] and was about to rush towards the door that entered this space.
However, at this time, a rather hoarse, but full of evil voice sounded in Al's ears.
"Shhh...... My future body, where do you want to go? ”
As the words fell, Al felt as if his heart had been captured, and his entire body was unable to move.
Gritting his teeth with hatred, Al tried his best and slowly turned around, only to see the scene that frightened him.
The witch array on the small altar he had opened just now emitted bursts of light.
One was covered in dark red scales, with four arms on the upper body and two curved horns on its head.
The lower half of his body was a thick and slender snake tail demon, which slowly climbed out of the sparkling witch array.
The demon looked at Al, a pair of scarlet eyes staring at Al, exuding an aura of greed.
When he first saw this demon, the shock in his heart naturally went without saying.
As a human being in two lives, seeing a real demon for the first time naturally had a great psychological impact on him.
However, Ayr's calm and calm personality is not activated even if the [Focus] state is not turned on.
It also allowed him to discover the incongruity of the demon's body on the small altar.
That's where the heart of the chest is located, where a piercing wound appears through the chest and back.
As for the heart that was supposed to be in that position, there is no trace of it.
Obviously, although this demon looks amazing, it has already suffered a deadly attack!
If it weren't for the demon's innate terrifying vitality, the demon in front of El would have turned to dust long ago.
"Shhh...... Fortunately, my Fire Demon Clan has unparalleled vitality.
As long as the skull is intact, it can continue to live for a long time.
However, without a heart, it is impossible to become stronger.
Thankfully, you broke in, and you know very little about our demons.
Otherwise, if I want to be like the little wizard who is also in this snake forest mansion, I really can't help it.
took my favor, but didn't give me a job, I want him to regret his choice forever!"
After babbling a lot, this demon had used all four arms, and his body had gradually climbed out of the witch array.
As for Al, his body was still immobile at this point.
And through the other party's babbling words just now, Al knew some information.
The snake demon who was hunted down by the people of the Church of the Lord of Radiance had apparently been here a long time ago.
However, unlike El, the snake demon clearly has a deep understanding of the demon's style.
So after he got a certain benefit, he immediately broke the contract and left.
Thinking deeper, the reason why the snake demon dared to choose the battlefield in this snake forest mansion.
Come to think of it, this demon must have found a way to avoid the spirits.
Otherwise, even if the snake demon is only one step away from being an official first-level wizard.
It is impossible to resist the fierce spirits in the Snake Forest Mansion.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, Al tried his best to urge the spiritual power that he had just broken through to a low-level wizard apprentice to resist.
However, the snake demon that El faces is only a small role in Hell.
And he was also greatly traumatized, and there was no strength left in his body.
But in the face of Al, a new little low-level wizard apprentice, he can still be easily suppressed.
At this time, the fire demon had completely climbed out of the witch array.
It's just that, judging by his movements, it is obvious that he can't leave that small altar.
Of course, the fire demon doesn't need to manipulate his body to leave the altar, all he needs is for his soul to be able to get out of it.
There was a flash of fire in the fire demon's eyes, and then a flash of fire shot out of the fire demon's eyes, straight to the center of Al's eyebrows.
In an instant, the soul of the fire demon poured into Al's body.
At the same time, Al only felt that his eyes were black, and the whole person directly lost consciousness.
When Al opened his eyes again, he saw an endless black space.
Al's body turned into a pale blue ball of light, floating in this boundless black space.
At this time, Al could not speak, could not listen, and could not feel all the feelings of being human.
Just as he wanted to explore his state, a red light shot out like red lightning.
The red light came to Al's body, and directly tore off a light blue light from Al's body and devoured it into his body.
Intense pain, an incomparable pain from the depths of his soul, made Al almost go crazy.
At the same time, a thought emanated from the red light, and Al instantly understood the meaning of the thought.
"Boy, you will obediently become my food, and when I eat you completely, your body will be mine. ”
With the interpretation of the red light, or the thoughts emanating from the soul of the fire demon.
Once again, Al's soul was torn off by the fire demon and devoured directly.
The sharp pain from the soul caused Al to obey the instinct of the soul and began to fight back against the fire demon.
However, as a demon, the Fire Demon knows too much about the soul than El.
Besides, just relying on the instinct of the soul to respond to the devouring of the fire demon, after all, it is still beyond its strength.
Therefore, as the battle between the souls of El and the Fire Demon intensified, Eyre's soul became weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, the soul of the fire demon is getting stronger and stronger.
"Hahaha, second-level soul qualification, this is something I don't even have.
Although I don't know why your soul qualifications and soul quality are far superior to ordinary humans.
But for me, it is a great thing, as long as I devour you, my soul will definitely be able to grow a lot. ”
Feeling the fire demon's thoughts, Al only felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
He knew very well that the reason why his soul qualifications and soul quality were far superior to those of ordinary human beings.
That's entirely because he came through and became human beings in two lives.
At this time, Al's mind involuntarily thought of various things in his previous life due to the large lack of souls.
However, at this moment, Al suddenly thought of the old fellow who came to this world with him and entered this body.
The one that allowed him to survive in this world, called [Concentration], acts on the soul!
If there is a chance to get Al out of his current predicament.
This Focus, from his previous life, is definitely the only option El has right now!
Thinking of this, the El did his best to lift his spirits, silently screaming the name of the [Focus] ability.
Suddenly, a blue aura bloomed from the depths of Al's soul.
The blue aura spread throughout El's soul light cluster, causing the soul light to shrink in an instant.
And then the soul of El became extremely solid, like the difference between a water mass and an ice cube!
Such a sudden change made the fire demon, who was a demon, a little confused.
After a slight hesitation, the fire demon's soul tore at Al's soul again.
It's just that this time, the fire demon hit a huge nail.
It was extremely easy to tear off a large piece of the soul origin of the El by the fire demon before.
At this time, under the full strength of the fire demon, only a trace of light blue soul was torn off.
On the contrary, El's counterattack, as always, tore off a small piece of red soul from the soul of the fire demon.
Previously, the soul that El tore from the Fire Demon was not as good as the part that the Fire Demon tore from the El body.
But now, the situation has been reversed, and Al has directly taken the upper hand.
As El and the Fire Demon devoured each other for the second time.
The fire demon's previous advantage was gradually chased by El.
Until the fire demon discovers that El has taken back the lost soul source.
And after devouring at least one-third of his soul origin, a trace of fear gradually rose in the soul of the fire demon.
Moreover, this trace of fear became bigger and bigger as El continued to tear at the soul origin of the fire demon.
When demons gain the upper hand, they are cunning and changeable, cruel and evil.
But if he falls into disadvantage, he immediately becomes extremely flattering, and in order to save his life, he will do everything to save his life.
Therefore, when the fire demon finds out that he is defeated by Al, it is even very likely that he will be killed by El directly.
The cruel and evil expression of the fire demon just now immediately disappeared without a trace.
Instead, he looked weak and pitiful, begging for mercy and life.
Even the thoughts emitted by the fire demon's soul turned into words begging for mercy.
If El retains his own will.
You may also be moved by the pity told by the fire demon and the benefits promised.
It's just that the current El, under the previous attack of the fire demon, has lost most of his consciousness.
In the haze, with instinct, El gradually devoured the soul of the fire demon.
