Chapter 62

"Demonic energy?!How is it possible, this is not a high-level demon, where did it come from, you are wrong about the sword. ”

Hearing Mino mention the term demonic energy, Phil, who was about to check the corpse of the beast, turned his head and looked at Mino in surprise

Demonic energy, or abyssal aura, is a kind of demonic breath that infects non-demonic creatures, because it is a pure negative energy, so most attribute energy is difficult to deal with, which is one of the main reasons why demons are difficult.

But even if it is a demon's own attribute, it is weak when its strength is low, and it can't even be infected by a small grass in enough time, and it can basically be manifested at a high level.

But if that beast is really a high-level demon, Mino, I'm afraid they will hang here in front of each other, which is why Phil retorted.

"But if it's not for the demonic energy, what is going on with this violent reaction with the holy light, this is not something that can be explained by the dark power. ”

Pointing to the little black qi that had been destroyed by the holy light on his wound, Mino, who was in pain, gritted his teeth and said helplessly.

"Uh, then you mean this thing is still just a demonized beast, just kidding, is there an abyss invasion now, it just wants to demonize and get enough abyssal breath?"

In the face of Phil's questioning, Mino, who had already taken care of his wounds, didn't say much, just threw a ball of rich holy light on one of the beast's corpses, looking at the corpse that was gone in ashes in an instant, Fil was speechless.

The Holy Light is not the kind of energy that focuses on lethality, and the Holy Light can destroy the corpse, which is the undead and the demon.

And this beast is full of flesh and blood, and it is obvious that it is not an undead, so the answer is obvious.

"I'm surprised, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to surprise us now, so let's hurry. Glancing at the Holy White Pagoda looming at the top of the peak, Mino said with a serious expression.

"yes, it's so bad, we need to hurry up. ”

As he spoke, Phil raised his head and poured a bottle of precious energy potion into his stomach, and after recovering his strength, he picked up his package and began to march towards the peak, and the same was true for Mino.

The seal on the Holy White Pagoda has existed for a long time, this kind of magic circle has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not once or twice to apply for the repair of materials, in fact, it is just a habitual maintenance, and there is generally no problem, which is also where Mino's confidence lies in not being in a hurry.

But now that I encounter this demonic beast, the meaning is different.

As mentioned earlier, the abyssal aura must at least be a high-level demon to show its power, not to mention the Taxi Town, even the entire Mowen Kingdom, there has not been an abyss invasion for many years, and the source of this demonic aura is obvious.

You must know that under the Holy White Tower, there is also a big demon sealed!

If it was true that this demon broke through the seal and escaped, not to mention the failure of the mission or something, Mino, they might not even be able to save their own lives, so naturally they were not in a hurry.

Although the side effects of the energy potion are quite large, its effect is real, after Phil drank this potion, he no longer asked for rest, and his speed suddenly increased, so that Mino, who was slowly recovering on his own body, almost couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

In a hurry, coupled with their abundant physical strength, Minoan and Phil hurried with all their might, and the originally felt that the incomparably long mountaineering road was completed by Mino's them in three or four hours.

Along the way, Mino, they never encountered the kind of beast that was eroded by the abyssal aura and even demonized, which made Minoan feel a lot more relieved, especially when they saw the guards still standing guard in front of the Holy White Tower, which made their hanging hearts completely relaxed.

Since there is still spare manpower to serve as guards, the situation naturally cannot be too bad, and the beast should only be a special case.

"Hey, who are you two and what are you doing here?"

As soon as Mino's group had ascended the mountain, one of the guards came running up with a long sword and looked at them rather vigilantly and asked.

"What's the matter, this mountain belongs to your family, and no one else is allowed to climb it?"

Probably upset to be pointed at with a sword, before Mino could identify himself, Phil spoke fiercely and went straight up, with a spike in his words.

"Mountaineering? Heh, it's the first time I've seen someone carrying such a big weapon to climb a mountain. ”

Seeing that the guard's tone was not very good, and he was about to quarrel with Phil and the two, Mino hurriedly handed over the identification documents that had been prepared a long time ago, and blocked the next words of the two.

"We were sent by Archbishop Mars to deliver the materials for the repair circle, this is our identity certificate and the letter from the archbishop, the guard brother should check it. ”

Taking the two things handed over by Mino, the guard saw the words of the students of Trilan Academy on the identity card, and his heart moved, and his eyes unconsciously swept around Mino.

Seeing the obviously still immature faces of Mino and Phil, his heart suddenly became clear, and the vigilance and boredom in his eyes suddenly disappeared a lot.

"Wait here, I'll be right back. ”

After saying that, the guard hurriedly ran into the Holy White Tower, and Mino, who had been running unremittingly for so long, suddenly lost his strength as soon as the breath in his heart was released, so he just found a place to sit down and began to rest.

After a while, the guard returned, probably to confirm the identity of Mino, and the last bit of vigilance was gone, politely leading Minoan and them to the White Tower, the whole person seemed quite kind, seeing this scene, Mino, who was puzzled, couldn't help but start talking.

"Brother Guard, is there something going on here in the Holy White Tower, I remember that there were people who waited on the mountain to play in the past, and they didn't say who came to check, how can the guards become stricter now?"

"Little classmate, are you a local?"

"Well, my house is on the edge of the town of Tassi. ”

"No wonder you ask, in fact, you are right, we used to guard this tower to prevent people or demonic beasts from destroying the magic circle, and we don't care about this outside place. Listening to Mino's words, the guard nodded, turned sideways, and explained to Mino as he walked: "But something has gone wrong with this magic circle recently, and we suspect that someone is playing a ghost, so we have strengthened our vigilance." ”

"But isn't the magic circle in disrepair to cause problems? Why did it become a ghost again?"

Hearing that Phil immediately found the flaw in his words, the guard smiled, looked around and no one paid attention to this side, and said to the two in a low voice:

"Since I accidentally said that I leaked my mouth, then I won't hide it from you, in fact, it was in disrepair or something, it was just to save face, the magic circle was obviously a human hand, but under the guard of so many people, people destroyed the magic circle, and it was a bit embarrassing to say it. ”

With that, the guard shrugged his shoulders, clearly disdainful of the behavior.

"Well, to what extent has the circle been destroyed, and how come even the demonized beasts have come out? We came across one when we were going up the mountain, and we were startled, thinking that we were too late, and the demons had already escaped. ”

Before Mino could say a few words, the guard blew up his history, which made Mino, who didn't mean to be here, a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to discuss too much on this topic, and waited for Phil, who likes to mock others, to make peace with him, and then forced the topic back to what he wanted to know.

"Demonized beast, you actually encountered this, this thing usually doesn't haunt during the day, you actually encountered it, it's really bad luck. ”

Hearing Mino say about their encounter with demonized beasts, the guard raised his eyebrows and said rather gloatingly:

"Although the magic circle is a little damaged, it is not a big problem, and I haven't seen how much demonic qi leaked out, so you will be fine even if you are a month late. ”

Originally, Mino wanted to inquire about something else, but unfortunately although the guard was talkative, he was a little too talkative, and the topic was rambling, and the answer was not on the idea that Mino's request.

After a few efforts, Mino also dispelled his thoughts, and let the guards talk nonsense there, but he also knew a lot of interesting things about what happened in the Holy White Tower.
