Chapter 22: An Unknown Being

"Bang! bang!"

"Bang bang! bang!" This is a battle that takes place in an underground prison more than a hundred yards underground, and the clash of pure forces occasionally swings through the air in bursts of air, and the strength of the air wave actually blows Ravia's hair.

"Boom!" a figure flew out and slammed into the wall to the side.

"Thos!" Lavia shouted in panic.

But what responded to her was a voice of regret, banter and loss.

"Hey, that little ghost is standing there!"

In Lavia's slightly blushing and stunned expression, she found that it was the werewolf Connell who was knocked out, and the power was so powerful that it smashed a cobweb-like crack into the hard wall behind the werewolf.

"It's tricky!" After teasing the girl, Connell laughed to himself and got up from the ground, seemingly uninjured, but as he moved, some rubble fell from the wall from time to time, and it was not difficult to see how strong the force was just now.

"You...... Are you alright?" asked Lavia in a low voice out of shyness at the remark.

"Hey!" the werewolf smiled, holding his neck with his left hand to move his whole body, and said jokingly, "Your tone seems to be very different from the tone you just called that little ghost......

"Ahh......h Didn't you say that you could settle the battle in a minute and get Soth back to normal? It's been three minutes now! And you're being sent flying for the second time!

"Hey," the girl's suspicion made the werewolf feel uncomfortable, and retorted dissatisfiedly, "Is this to blame me?

"This ...... This ......" the girl was stunned and speechless, and only muttered in a whisper, "But you hit Soth every time......"

"Of course, how else would you wake him up?" said the werewolf with a nonchalant expression.

"Yes...... But ...... "Lavia can see it clearly, whether it is the werewolf in front of her or the giant bear, she has the power to break the obsidian with her bare hands, oh my God, it is obsidian! This kind of force, hitting the human body, that's not it......

"Don't worry!" As if sensing the girl's concerns, the werewolf looked at the boy who was shrouded in a dark bear not far away, and said with relief, "I think that little imp will be fine even if he punches me...... Of course, I'll control it, but it's the bear...... it's the trouble," he said, looking up at the bear's blood-red eyes, in which the werewolf could only see deep, suppressed anger.

"Is that bear really that difficult to deal with?" Seeing that neither the werewolf nor the giant bear seemed to make a move, Lavia quickly asked the doubts in her heart.

"Hmm," the werewolf nodded, his eyes fixed on his opponent, and said in a deep voice, "I think this bear is probably a projection of a high-level demon, and it is ...... higher than me in terms of rank."

"Taller than you?" Lavia tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand the meaning of the words.

"Yes, in the world of demons, not only strength is the key, but more importantly, the level, the low-level demons don't even dare to make a move in front of the high-level demons, this is the deterrent power of the level, you can understand it as the fear of your human beings......"

"Oh," Lavia asked with a humble nod, confused, "and how do you know that bear is higher than you?"

"How could I not know?" The werewolf frowned, Devouring is one of the special surnames of the dark power, but not all dark creatures can rely on Devouring to strengthen themselves on the basis of solving the opponent, this mid-level demon can only learn, whether he admits the identity of Gangaro or not, but the truth will not change, and he understands this.

Gangaro is already a creature that is infinitely close to demons, and it is a higher existence than a mid-level demon, you must know that ordinary Gangaro can rank in the position of the eighth commander among demons, so what about himself?

But the dark bear made a shiver from the depths of his soul......

It's not a gap in strength, it's a gap in rank!

If it is an opponent of the same level, then there is no problem in solving this dark giant bear in one minute, but the difference in rank makes the strength higher than the opponent and he is shocked by the opponent......

If it were to be replaced by other low-level demons, I'm afraid it would be a problem to even dare to make a move......

Moreover, this bear, a little eccentric, as if he was not devouring his own strength......

That's right, it's not Devouring, it's a higher-level ability than Devouring...... [Extraction]!

If it is devoured, then the side that is devoured can also have a chance to resist, but just now, his own power was absorbed by the bear in an instant, and there was no chance of resistance......

Just as the darkness will be covered by a purer darkness that cannot be resisted......

"Roar!" the bear, which was just a giant bear made of dark energy, let out a roar that was like a substance, and this roar made the werewolf understand that the time for temptation was over......

"Little ghost, stand far away!" the werewolf's expression instantly became solemn, and with a wave of his right hand from left to right, a dense darkness flew in front of the giant bear with a whirring sound of breaking through the air.

The faint dark aura on the giant bear's body surged in an instant, and with a swoop, it absorbed the wind-bladed darkness.

Sure enough, it was irresistible...... It's a higher level of [Drain] than Devouring!

If you keep being drawn by this bear, I'm afraid you'll never be able to wake up that little ghost, so you have to avoid being drawn from it!

Thinking so, Connell, who was standing, suddenly disappeared, and the heavy blow of the giant bear was missed.

To be honest, how fast the werewolf was, Lavia had just learned from Connell's battle with the bear, but now, Connell was even faster, and he ran around the bear like the wind with agility, looking for its flaws.

If it were an ordinary human, I'm afraid that this kind of high-level running alone would exhaust all his strength......

I have to say that the bear is too bulky......

Although each blow of anger shattered the ground made of obsidian, the point was that the dark bear did not intend to hit the ground to vent his hatred......

"It's so fast...... Lavia covered her mouth in surprise, as she gradually became accustomed to the speed of a wolf and a bear fighting, she had just seen clearly that the heavy blow of the dark giant bear, let alone hitting the werewolf, this relatively slow attack, even the corners of Connell's clothes could not be touched.

"Whoosh ......"

Lavia could only see an extremely fast figure on the Dark Bear's arm, and then, a real roar resounded throughout the dungeon.

"Roar!" In Lavia's surprised eyes, the Dark Bear seemed to shake its huge head, its eyes filled with anger, looking around for the damned figure.

"Still thinking about sucking?" the werewolf in the gallop shook his right fist, which was burned by the darkness of the giant bear, and laughed, while the burn marks on the back of his hand healed at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye.

"Let's do it again!" Hehe smiled, Connell jumped on the arm of the giant bear, quickly avoiding one dark aura after another, and came to the shoulder of the giant bear in an instant, but to his surprise, the body of the dark giant bear turned into a thick darkness in an instant, enveloping the werewolf.

"Kang...... Conil?" Lavia's eyes widened, obviously in disbelief, even the legendary real Gangaro couldn't beat the bear?

Just as she was stunned, a circle of darkness suddenly rose to his right, and in this darkness, Connell walked out unharmed.

"Are you alright?" the girl cried out delighted.

"Are you alright?" Connell shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "I just 'died' once! I was too careless, that bear has a very high level of intelligence, damn it! Fooled! Those attacks are all a disguise, and it has been waiting for an opportunity to devour me whole......" He said, turning his head to look at the girl's dull face, and said angrily, "Haven't you heard that Gangaro has an immortal body?"

"But ......," said Ravia, pointing at the werewolf and then at the bear, "but you were devoured whole, and those Gangero ...... just now"

"Don't confuse me with those inferior guys!" Connell pouted, then looked at the confusion in the girl's eyes and explained, "The real Gangaro is not here...... Well, in other words, neither I was just now, nor was I now...... Tsk, what should I say, I'm really not suitable for this...... That's it!"

"Oh," Lavia tilted her head and nodded, listening to Connell's inexplicable explanation, relieved and confused, "You mean that the way to deal with those Gangeros won't work for you, right?"

"Yes!"

Lavia nodded incomprehensibly, her eyes casually looking at the dark bear, only to see that after he devoured Connell's power, it was suddenly clear that several places were even close to the entity......

"...... South"

"Don't worry!" Connell smiled faintly and said, "Gangaro's strength can be said to be constant, always at its peak, and every time he dies, he will return to more than half, or even the best state......" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the giant bear, shook his head, and said, "Unfortunately, you have a good idea, first seduce me, and then swallow me whole, but this method is not effective for me...... Don't think that the whole thing has swallowed me, my power belongs to you, not only is this not the case, but the power that you just devoured and belongs to me has to be spit out for me!"

At the same time as Connell spoke, the clear body of the Dark Bear suddenly poured out countless dark powers, heading towards Conil.

"Roar!" the Dark Bear looked furious.

"Hmph, it's useless!" Connell said with a smile and a shake of his finger, "This is the law of the formation of this world when Gangaro was born, and as long as you can't be above it, you have to obey it!" As he spoke, the dark power poured back into the werewolf's body.

"But even so, I'm still surprised......" Looking at the giant bear that was enraged by the loss of the power it devoured, the werewolf said in surprise, "I always thought that although your rank was higher than mine, it was likely that you belonged to the category of demons, but you don't look like some kind of intelligent guy, careless, you guys turned out to be intelligent ......"

"He, he's wise?" Lavia looked at the bear in shock.

"Yes, I'm sure, it wasn't instinct, it was intelligence, this guy is a sapient creature!"

"......" Lavia looked at the giant bear in disbelief, and suddenly ran in front of the dark bear.

"What are you doing?!" the werewolf appeared beside Lavia in an instant, holding him tightly.

"I ......," Lavia said pleadingly, biting her lip and looking at the bear, "please let Soth get back to normal, I don't want him to ...... I don't want him to ...... like that."

"Whoosh!" pulling Lavia, the werewolf jumped back a few steps and said with a frown, "I know you're related to that little ghost, but...... If this bear is really a wise guy, then you should pay more attention, most likely, it is not protecting you or the imp...... I don't know why, but I can say with certainty that this is not the power of that little ghost!

"Guaranteed...... Protect yourself?"

"Hmm!" Connell nodded, affirming, "It's possible that its body is inside this imp, I don't know why, but I've heard from the former alchemists...... If demons are going to come to the world, their strength will be limited by the law, and the way to break this restriction is to descend on a certain child first, and wait until the time is right......"

"Yes...... What will happen?"

"Devour that imp whole!" with heart and ......soul," Connell said with a frown.

"Devouring ......" Lavia looked at the boy distractedly, and suddenly, her eyes turned angry, and she looked at the giant bear's eyes with hostility.

"Are you crazy?!" Connell subconsciously stood in front of the girl, knowing that the bear would instinctively attack anyone hostile to it.

But unexpectedly, the bear didn't attack Lavia, not only that, but the blood-red light in its eyes gradually faded, and its entire body suddenly became hazy......

"Is the energy exhausted?" Connell smiled a little lightly, to be honest, this kind of restrained battle made him feel very uncomfortable, not only could he not attack the boy who existed as the main body, but in terms of dark power, the giant bear was clearly the type of superior and inferior to him...... No, it was the bear that restrained all the forces that belonged to the darkness, and perhaps not restraint, but overpower!

"Soth......" Lavia murmured the boy's name.

But at this time, the boy did not know all this, he was in a gray space......

Like the dream he often had, Jiang Zhe found himself entering that wonderful space again......

Why do you say that this is a wonderful space, because there is no real foothold here, as Jiang Zhe is now......

There is nothing underneath your feet......

But I felt like I had stepped on something......

Jiang Zhe stomped his feet with a strange expression, and he could clearly feel that he had indeed stepped on something......

"Hey, anyone?" he called out subconsciously, and then suddenly remembered that this place seemed to be a huge creature that was sleeping.

Really......

Through the hazy mist, Jiang Zhe vaguely saw a huge figure......

Everything was like a dream, but the difference was that the huge creature was now awake, which made Jiang Zhe feel good......

Anyway, it's not a fun thing to look at a huge creature falling asleep every night and having to endure that boring, dull snoring!

The body of the beast lying on its stomach was very large, and the only thing exposed in the mist was its head and two forelimbs......

The giant beast that used to lie on its forelimbs and snoring was now looking at Jiang Zhe with its pale red eyes open......

"Hey, you're awake?"

"Hey, can you talk?"

But no matter what Jiang Zhe said, the giant beast actually lay on its two forelimbs again after glancing at him......

"Hey, don't sleep!" Jiang Zhe hurriedly ran under the nose of the giant beast and said, "Tell me what kind of place this is, what are you, why do I keep dreaming of you? Hey, hey!"

However, no matter what Jiang Zhe said, the giant beast still slowly closed its eyes......

"Damn, wake me up!" Out of dissatisfaction, Jiang Zhe stood on the two forelimbs of the giant beast and smashed his fist against its huge eyelids......

It's really huge......

Just the eyes of the giant beast are probably bigger than Jiang Zhe's entire person......

The giant beast opened its eyes again and looked at Jiang Zhe with a little helplessness......

To be honest, Jiang Zhe was indeed taken aback the moment the huge creature in front of him opened his eyes, I think anyone who saw a pair of eyes larger than a human body would feel unnatural, besides, it was still at a very short distance......

For a while, the giant beast and Jiang Zhe stared at each other with wide eyes, but in the end, Jiang Zhe was defeated......

"Ahem, I'm really sorry to disturb your sleep......" Staring at an eye larger than his body at a very close distance, although the pale red eye obviously did not carry any hostility, Jiang Zhe still felt cold behind his back, coughed, and said, "Let's discuss, can you sleep after answering my question?"

Maybe this giant beast couldn't speak at all, anyway, no matter what Jiang Zhe said, it didn't respond, looking at the heaviness of its eyelids that fell from time to time, this giant beast looked very sleepy......

But every time at this time, Jiang Zhe smashed its eyelids to make the giant beast open its eyes again......

I don't know why, usually people feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts when they see such a huge beast, but Jiang Zhe doesn't know for some reason, he doesn't have the slightest fear or fear, on the contrary, he is like an old friend who has been facing him for more than ten years......

"Hey, speak, you guy!" After asking several times in a row, Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered something, maybe this guy in front of him couldn't speak at all?

"This is troublesome......" Standing on the forelimbs of the giant beast disturbing his forehead, Jiang Zhe hesitated and said, "So be it, if the answer is 'yes', or 'good', you nod...... Ah no, it's a wink, just blink, and if the answer is 'no,' or 'not good,' you blink twice, how about that?"

But in fact, the giant beast maintained a posture with its eyes half-closed and half-open, and just looked at Jiang Zhe like that......

"Don't you understand?" Jiang Zhe frowned, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw the giant beast's eyelids fall, and he blinked?

But the truth is that the eyes of the giant beast never opened for more than a minute after the eyelids fell......

It won't be ...... Asleep, right?

Jiang Zhe tilted his head, dumbfounded.

"Damn!" he smashed the beast's eyelids vigorously, but this time, no matter how hard he smashed, the beast just wouldn't open its eyes, even if the marks on the eyelids were revealed by the rolling of the eyeballs, indicating that the beast was still awake......

This damn fellow!

I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Zhe was tired, leaning on the head of the giant beast, sitting on his forelimbs, looking at this strange space, because he no longer expected the giant beast to take the initiative to tell him......

Anyway, where is this?

Curious, he jumped off the beast's forelimbs and walked towards the hazy white mist, and with a bang, he slammed his head into a hard object.

Hit a wall?

"Damn!" Rubbing his head vigorously, Jiang Zhe raised his head, only to realize that what he hit was not a wall, but a very tall and huge stone pillar......

He took a few steps back, measuring the size of the pillar......

It's about twenty or thirty yards in diameter, maybe even bigger, and it's high...... I can't see it, because a large part of the top of the pillar is hidden in the mist, but you can feel it, this pillar is very high, very tall!

When he looked at this pillar carefully, Jiang Zhe found that there seemed to be something carved on this huge stone pillar......

Well, it looks a bit like a human, but the chaos of beasts and creatures at the bottom of the pillar suggests that it is not human, but rather a totem or a sculpture of a demon.

And judging from the pattern on the pillar, this stone pillar is carved very finely, because Jiang Zhe did not find any uneven traces from above, and it is very smooth to the touch, even the carved dents are also very smooth, even if it is a machine in the previous life, it can't reach this point, right?

Looking at this stone pillar, Jiang Zhe had an inexplicable feeling, he subconsciously believed that he seemed to be standing in a very large building, and that stone pillar was the pillar of this building, those ancient, simple patterns, this should be a building with a long history......

Where is it?

Just when Jiang Zhe was full of doubts and curious about this place, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Soth, how are you, Soth, you hateful creature wake up quickly!"

"It's that girl...... Hearing the familiar 'hateful guy', Jiang Zhe immediately recognized the owner of the voice, and with this voice, the surrounding fog suddenly became dense.

Jiang Zhe only felt that the stone pillar was suddenly getting farther and farther away from him......

"Bang!" he felt a blow on his head, and then heard Lavia's angry voice and a man's teasing.

"What are you doing?!"

"I'll wake him up for you...... If you want to wake up this little ghost, you have to use this way, your soft voice, he can hear it!"

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Lavia raising her head with an indignant face, and following her gaze, Jiang Zhe saw a man who looked to be thirty or forty years old.

The man found Jiang Zhe's awakening for the first time, and said jokingly, "Look, isn't this awake?"

And at the same time, in an unknown space......

The beast slowly opened its eyes, and then, its eyelids fell again......

"That little ghost, it's troublesome...... Explanation, too, is cumbersome...... It's also troublesome to speak...... Fighting, too, is troublesome...... It's hungry and troublesome...... Sleeping, too, is troublesome...... Snore...... Purr ......"
