In the control room.
Black fog filled the air, raging flames boiled, and sword qi and vacuum waves clashed with each other.
The Demon God Pillar's attack methods were mostly to release Demonic Fog with extremely strong killing power, or to release a special technique with high temperature. They were all large-scale attacks with astonishing power. Even if the servants were not careful, they would be in danger of losing their lives if they were caught in it.
Moreover, it didn't use modern magic, but magic close to the Gods' era. It had an unimaginable degree of mystery. Even if a servant with magic skills faced it, they wouldn't be able to exert much effect.
However, although its magic was quite powerful, its attack pattern was very rigid, just like a robot.
When Ryuga's attack fell on its body, its attention was focused on Ryuga. But when Nero and Meltélise's flames and vacuum waves reached it, it would easily abandon Ryuga and turn to deal with the two of them.
It didn't have any subjective consciousness, just like a programmed robot. It could only rigidly follow the program, as if the one standing there wasn't a living consciousness, but a puppet.
After its rigid attack pattern was easily seen through by the three of them, the three of them launched a fierce attack with all their strength.
"— — Third Form, Piercing Slash."
Ryuga swung her sword, making a circular sword qi like a full moon surrounded by raging flames rush out. Like a chainsaw, it spun rapidly and hit the Demon God Pillar from the front.
"— — —"
And even if it was hit by such a powerful attack, and a huge crack of several meters long appeared on its body, the Demon God Pillar only slightly shook in place. It didn't show any signs of anger or pain, as if it couldn't feel pain or anger at all. Then, more than ten blood-colored eyeballs flashed again, trying to launch a counterattack against Ryuga.
In the next moment, Meltélise's vacuum wave hit several of its eyeballs by a hair's breadth, quickly interrupting its attack.
And Nero very tacitly attacked it, and with a blow of raging flames, the last few eyeballs evaporated completely.
"Boom!"
In the end, Ryuga waved her hand and released a large wave of flames like a tsunami, easily covering the Demon God Pillar that had lost its ability to resist.
Immediately, its body was burned to ashes little by little in the flames. Until the end, it didn't make any sound, nor did it say a word.
"Did we defeat it?"
After the battle ended, Tachika Fujimaru was relieved. She stopped the action of converting the cherry blossom coins into magical power and came to the side of the others.
"It should be defeated, but — —"
Liu Xia reached out his hand, and under the guidance of his magic power, the flames scattered all around the control room obediently gathered together, then fell into his palm and turned into pure magic power that dissipated into the air.
His [Magic Release – Flame] also had the effect of converting flames into magic. The converted magic could be used to increase physical strength and also to perform advanced magic, but he rarely used this ability.
"Performer, this Demon God Pillar is a bit strange, as if it doesn't have a soul."
Nero took over the conversation and said to Fujimaru Rika with some confusion, "It feels like it's not the original body. If I have to say, it's more like a replica made with the demon god pillar as the material. Or maybe it's the remains of a soul that has been extracted."
"Replica? Remnant? "
Tachika Fujimaru held her chin and thought, "In that case, I've encountered a situation where a dead Demon God Pillar was used by someone before. Could it be that this is also one of them?"
The Demon God Pillar possessed extraordinary power. Even if it was dead, its corpse would still possess extraordinary power. As long as it was used properly, it could also create a singularity.
In the past, she had encountered a singularity created from the corpse of a Demon God Pillar, so she had this conjecture.
"No matter what, since this thing is dead, there are no clues to continue investigating."
Ryuga looked at the center of the control room. There was only a pile of ashes left, and even the original form of the Demon God Pillar could not be seen. "Let's look for survivors first. If the battle just now aroused Parsons Lip's vigilance, it would be bad."
"That's true. Let's look for survivors first. According to Marble, there should be two survivors here."
Fujimaru Rika nodded. Their primary purpose of coming here was indeed to solve the problem of the staff trapped here. Everything else had to be put aside for later.
However, speaking of which, in the recording device opened by the Church, didn't it say that a monster with countless flickering eyes was lodging in the psychologist's body, and then caused SE.RA.PH's current situation?
Could it be that the so-called monster with countless flickering eyes in the recording device was the Demon God Pillar — —
"Clap clap clap!"
Just when Tachika Fujimaru was deep in thought, a burst of loud applause suddenly sounded from another corner, entering their ears.
"Beautiful! I didn't expect you to actually defeat that monster. You must be the reinforcements sent by Chaldea, right? Aiya, thank you so much. "
Using a fervent tone, a male staff member who looked to be in his twenties walked out from the corner. He was wearing a male uniform of the same color as Marble's. He had a medium build, short black hair, and a warm smile on his face. Facing the group of four, his face was full of praise.
"Are you … … a survivor?"
Tachika Fujimaru recovered from her thoughts. After hearing this voice, her spirit was slightly lifted, and then she looked at the person who came.
"Survivor? Yes … … you can be considered one. "
The man was slightly stunned. Then, a very polite and friendly smile appeared on his face. "My name is Arnold Beckman. I'm the first secretary of the director of this oilfield base. You can say that I'm a senior manager like a clerk."
He seemed to be quite proud of his position. Although the smile on his face looked friendly, it was too superficial and not from his heart. It vaguely gave a feeling of hypocrisy.
Moreover, whether he was a high level administrator or not, it didn't matter now.
"Are there any other survivors here other than you?"
Tachika Fujimaru didn't care about the arrogance in his words, but continued to ask him.
"No, there is only me."
Arnold's attitude was still polite, but when he talked about other survivors, his tone was somewhat unconcerned.
"Not long ago, there were two people. One was a rustic woman who liked to speculate. No matter how I tried to stop her, she couldn't stand the horror and ran out. I'm afraid that she had already died under the hands of Alterego. The other one took a lot of illegal drugs and is already a corpse. Fortunately, he is lying in the cabinet, so there is no corpse smell."
