A thought came to Roddy's mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Obviously, the "mother" that Edith killed by self-destructing did not really die, but survived through some kind of lucky method!
And the "mother" that he was dealing with now was probably the same one that was killed more than 700 years ago!
Thinking of the words "it's useless", Roddy immediately realized a problem: could it be that the other person was saying that the method he was using now was "useless"?
Could it be that half a day's effort was in vain?
"It is too powerful, too ancient, perhaps it was born at the same time as this world, and it is impossible to kill."
The calm words continued to echo in his ears, as if answering the question in Roddy's heart.
Seeing that the other person responded, Roddy frowned even deeper, and immediately asked, "Have you found any way over these years? Now may be the only chance! "
"Way? I don't know, I only know that I failed at the beginning, human. But I can tell you that its core is not here, perhaps it is higher. "
"Higher? How do you know if you don't try? "
Roddy did not seem to doubt the other person's words. He raised his hand and controlled the "Magic crystal balls" to climb up with him. But when he reached the top, he reached out his hand and touched the * * * at the top, and suddenly said, "Edith, if I say I have a way to resurrect you, are you willing to help me?"
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Roddy, who had activated the "Witcher's Vision", immediately felt that the fiery flowing elements around him almost completely solidified at this moment!
In the next second, the originally silent crystal began to flash violently, and then the whole flesh wall shook violently, as if it was going to shake Roddy out of the * * *!
However, he leaped down as if he had expected it. Standing on top of a small mountain of magic crystals, he lowered his head and looked at the soul crystal in his hand. In his "Devil Hunter Vision", the purple spiderweb-like traces on the surface of the crystal were very conspicuous.
"Do you think I haven't seen the trick of reincarnation?"
Roddy snorted and immediately activated the "Air Expansion Circle"!
From the moment he saw this crystal, he felt that something was wrong. Although the soul energy within was abundant, it was chaotic and disorderly. The faint purple light lingering around it indicated that this thing had probably been eroded long ago. The projection of "Solomon" on the glacial plain had given him a deep enough lesson. Now that he saw a similar scene, how could he not be careful?
Moreover, how could a normal High Elf, who stood at the top of the Mages, use the word "god" to describe a sea creature? According to the records of Demon Control, this Arcanist blew up his opponent's body and rushed to the core of the High Elves' body. He then self-destructed and died together with the High Elves. His heroic deed was sung by the High Elves for generations.
If a mage were to address an enemy respectfully, the only possibility was that their consciousness had been unknowingly eroded and influenced!
Fortunately, Edith was not occupied by Berantulu like Solomon's projection. At the same time, she was not connected to the "mother body." Otherwise, the moment the opponent discovered him, the "mother body" would have taken action to kill Roddy directly instead of trying to mislead him like this …
In order to verify his judgment, Rody had been trying to figure out how to deal with the 'Mother' from the beginning to the end. When he saw that the other party did not answer his question directly and tried to use a verbal trap to lure him away, he immediately felt a trace of fear behind the other party's calm words.
So he tried to throw the bomb of "resurrection". Unsurprisingly, it caused the trapped "survival instinct" to react violently!
At this point, Roddy had perfectly avoided the trap that the enemy had dug for him. At the same time, he was even more certain of his choice.
The moment the circle was activated, the airflow that blew out made him stagger. However, Roddy did not leave immediately. Instead, he controlled the "Magician's Hand" to gather all the "Magic crystal balls" that he could catch beside him. Then, he used the "Energy Arrows" in his quiver to nail them to the flesh wall beside him.
"Pfft!"
The arrows pierced into the flesh wall, causing the whole chamber to shake violently. The "mother body" sensed the unusual movement in its body. It tried to shrink the chamber in fear, but it could not stop the rapidly expanding air …
This was like throwing a Mentos into the stomach of a person who had drunk a large barrel of coke. The suddenly expanding air made the air in Roddy's field of vision expand rapidly. The drastic change in air pressure made his eardrums suck. The "mother body" realized that it would not be able to accommodate so much air if it continued like this. It immediately opened the hole that the "child body" had entered, trying to quickly expel the air.
This was the moment that Roddy had been waiting for. He jumped to the side, got into one of the holes, and was quickly pushed out by the air flow. At this time, it was too late for the ancient sea beast to stop him. Because the expanding air flow had quickly entered the "maximum power" state because of the amazing energy of the Charged Crystal. As soon as Roddy got into the hole, he flew more than 30 meters like a fired cannonball and fell among the layers of tentacles.
Because the force of the ejection was too great, when Roddy flew out, his legs directly inserted into the roof of a collapsed building below. It took him a long time to climb out.
It was not a safe place under the giant beast, so Roddy quickly got out and ran out. However, the dense tentacles were like a jungle that was difficult to cross. Roddy did not dare to use the "Explosive Arrow" to blast a way out, because once the other party found him, the result would be "Mount Tai on top" in the next second …
The hissing sound resounded through the sky above his head. Roddy knew very well that this was a sign that the circle was approaching the "critical point". So the only thing he could do now was to grit his teeth and rush out!
*****
The "Air Expansion Circle" itself was nothing special, but after using too much Charged Crystal, it would cause the expansion effect to increase uncontrollably and form an "Unstable Elemental Vortex". This vortex was like a vacuum, it would actively absorb all the energy around it to enhance the effect of the circle itself. In the laboratory, this kind of situation would never happen. Even if it did, it would be stopped quickly because of the energy isolation.
But in the core chamber of the "Matrix", the "Magic crystal ball" that Roddy had nailed around the circle was rapidly dissipating energy in the "Unstable Elemental Vortex". The effect of the "Air Expansion Circle" suddenly increased exponentially, and the originally small chamber was like an inflated balloon that was tens of times, hundreds of times bigger!
The archmages standing a kilometer away from the gigantic beast raised their heads to look at the black shadow in the night sky. The flickering light revealed the unstable state of the gigantic beast. Very quickly, its mountain-like body began to expand rapidly. Its silhouette covered the night sky and the moonlight, as if it wanted to completely block out the stars in the sky.
"It will explode! Run! "
Although they had such expectations, looking at the giant beast that was already more than 300 meters tall, none of them thought that one kilometer could be considered a "safe distance". The strongest magisters gave the alarm and quickly retreated in the direction of the "Colomier" Magic Tower.
They hadn't run far when they saw a figure flying in the opposite direction, directly flying into the sky, heading in the direction of the "mother".
It was Merlinsera, who was desperately looking for Roddy with her eyes wide open.
In front of the "Colomier" Magic Tower, the "Matrix"'s silhouette suddenly enlarged by three to four times, which also frightened the defending troops. Akasha and Sylvia immediately ordered the frontline soldiers to retreat.
"Hide behind the Magic Tower! Quick! "
With the "Resurrected Fishmen" blocking the way, the troops did not suffer any casualties when they retreated. Akasha grabbed Naiffy and, under the protection of David and the others, went around to the back of the Magic Tower. Just then, the giant beast behind them exploded with a loud noise.
"Boom!"
Its hemispherical body expanded to almost a complete sphere, with the highest point being 350 meters tall. When the orange light under its skin reached its peak, the giant beast's body finally couldn't withstand the pressure from the inside and exploded!
The light was so bright that Duriel City was as bright as day. Everyone could only see the long shadow of the Magic Tower in front of them. Ten seconds later, a thunderous sound came into everyone's ears.
"It's, it's over?"
Even Doris couldn't hear what she said, but Evelyn, who was beside her, could understand what she was lamenting about …
After the roar, the sound of broken tentacles and minced meat falling to the ground could be heard. The pitter-patter sounded like dense raindrops. But it was not hard to imagine that at least one-third of the buildings in this city were covered and destroyed by the giant beast's carcass.
This was a complete nightmare. From the moment Jill and Miranda were killed, Evelyn hoped that she could get rid of this nightmare as soon as possible. However, what made her dizzy was that the person who ended the nightmare was Roddy, whom they had never met before.
"What's wrong with this world …"
As she sighed, a shockwave with a strong stench swept across. Because of the shelter of the magic tower, everyone is safe and sound. In the dust, Naiffy held Akasha's hand tightly, but she tried to look at the other side of the tower. Even Silvia, who was beside her, frowned and pursed her lips.
At the same time, Roddy, who was not far from the center of the explosion, was under great pressure.
There were two reasons why he dared to rush into the "mother's body" alone. One was his "Demon Affinity" as a disguise, and the other was the pardon effect of the "Ring of Pardon".
However, the invincibility created by the "Ring of Pardon" did not last forever. In order to avoid getting hurt, Roddy immediately rushed into a flattened bar after he rushed out of the giant beast's body. Because most bars in Lacheman had basements for storing alcohol, he found one nearby and went in.
However, even if he ran to the corner of the basement in time, the power of the explosion was still beyond his imagination.
The energy of more than 50 magic crystal balls had turned the "Air Expansion Circle" into a "Elemental Storm" that was as powerful as a forbidden spell. This kind of method to defeat the enemy would definitely be recorded in history. In just half a minute, the magic crystals that were equivalent to a year's worth of experiments in Duriel were reduced to ashes.
The violent explosion was not as hot as the "Flame Blast", but the pure shockwave still brought a force comparable to that of a tsunami. All the buildings within 200 meters of the "mother's body" were completely blown into pieces. Roddy, who was hiding in the basement, was not even covered by the wreckage of the building because the whole bar had been uprooted.
Amidst the pale golden light, the 'Ring of Pardon' helped Rody survive the fiercest stage of the impact. However, as soon as the effect of the 'Ring of Pardon' ended, the discomfort caused by the change in pressure still made Rody's vision turn black and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, Roddy had the "Heart of the Demon Hunter" with his super resistance and HP. After the impact ended, he quickly recovered to his normal state.
"Huuu …"
In the midst of the dust, Roddy saw the icon of the [Quest Pane] had changed. The icon of [Devil Disaster] was flashing.
Three new icons appeared in the [Skill Pane] below, and he also received EXP. However, when he opened the [Quest Pane], Roddy found that the mission was not over. Instead, a new notification popped up.
"You defeated the primordial demon, but this is not the end …"
It was just a lonely sentence. Roddy squinted his eyes and immediately realized that the whole mission was not over. Judging from the information from the white "Soul Crystal," it was obvious that this "primordial demon" was not that easy to kill. Roddy could conclude that it was only "defeated" and not "dead."
Pushing away the debris in front of him, Roddy, who was covered in dust, got up and patted the dust off his body. Just when he was about to step out of the razed bar, he suddenly felt something vibrating around his waist.
He looked down and saw that the milky white Soul Crystal was letting out a faint buzzing sound. Roddy wanted to take it out for a closer look, but his body shuddered. The "mental impact" that he had experienced before came again. However, this time, Roddy found that the scenes that appeared in front of him were no longer chaotic and illogical. Instead, it was like a movie, allowing him to quickly understand the beginning and end of Edith's encounter with the "matrix."
More than 700 years ago, the giant demon suddenly came ashore just like now. However, with the power of the High Elves' port city at that time, even a simple cannon attack was enough to deal with the "matrix" that was only 30 to 40 feet tall. However, what happened next gave Rody a sense of déjà vu. The port officials' evasions, delays, and inaction allowed the 'Matrix' to gain a foothold after disembarking and quickly grow with the help of the crystals it absorbed.
