Angor crouched and dodged the attack from the side.
The demon did not give up. Instead, it turned around and stared at Angor with its hungry eyes.
Drip, drip, drip —
Stinky saliva dripped from its wide open mouth.
Angor could clearly see the saliva hissing on the ground. At the same time, a white mist rose from the ground.
Corrosive? As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the shriveled demon opened its mouth that took up two-thirds of its face and charged at Angor again.
He quickly dodged the next few attacks by tapping his feet on the ground.
Thanks to the continuous dodging, Angor was able to observe the demon from a close distance and learn something about it. The demon was not to be underestimated. However, it was severely injured. Not only was its strength greatly reduced, but its mind was also affected.
Because of this, the demon did not use its aura since the beginning, and its steps were weak. With Angor's speed, he could dodge the attacks for now.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
Dust and gravel were sent flying everywhere. Angor also tried to fight back while dodging. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not hurt the demon at all.
While chasing and dodging, he also noticed that the demon seemed to be treating him as food. Its eyes were glowing with obvious thirst.
Angor believed that if he was too slow, he would end up as the demon's meal.
While dodging, Angor was also trying to come up with a plan.
Now, he was in an underground hall that was almost sealed off. There was no way to escape, and he could not fight the demon head-on. In this situation, he was like a turtle in a jar. As his stamina and magic power were consumed, he would inevitably be caught by the demon.
What should I do?
As Angor tried to think, the demon caught up with him again. Like before, Angor tried to go around it. As a matter of fact, he had succeeded.
However, as soon as he went around the demon, he felt dizzy and could not move at all.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. The demon also came back to its senses and charged at Angor again.
Luckily, Angor had already chanted Spirit Mantra in his mind just in case. When he realized that he couldn't move, his soul immediately left his body and dragged his body to the other end of the hall.
He finally noticed that the area where he and the demon were hiding was now occupied by the white mist.
This mist was all produced after the demon's saliva dripped to the ground!
"So, the dizziness earlier was due to the white mist?" Angor was surprised. He quickly used Soul Dimension to cast a level-1 cantrip on his body: Detect Plague.
The results showed that he had been poisoned!
"This demon's saliva is not only corrosive, but also poisonous?!"
Although he could use the level-1 cantrip, Expel Poison, to get rid of the paralyzing poison, it would be a huge burden on his mana pool, which was easily exhausted.
Moreover, the devil was drooling non-stop. As long as it continued to chase after him, the entire hall would be filled with poisonous gas.
At that time, even if he still had the strength to run, he wouldn't be able to escape.
"What should I do?" He kept asking himself, but he still could not find a solution.
He slowly looked at the statue of the Scholar of Cruelty in the middle of the hall. So this is your punishment?
You used runes to prevent me from leaving, then woke up this hungry demon and made me its meal?
If this was all part of the Scholar of Cruelty's plan, Angor's chances of survival were close to zero.
How was he supposed to live when a demon god wanted him dead?
While Angor was still lost in his thoughts, the demon rushed at him again with its awkward and wobbly steps. Its saliva left more white mist in its wake.
"So hungry … so hungry …" The demon rushed at him again.
Angor listened to the demon's mindless words and had an idea. While dodging, he took out a piece of Devilish Meat from his bracelet and threw it into the demon's mouth.
When the meat entered the demon's stomach, it hesitated for a moment and stopped chasing Angor. Instead, it sat down on the ground and began chewing.
And when the demons ate, they didn't drool.
When it finished the meat, it began to drool again and chased after Angor again.
Angor realized that the demon was simply starving, which meant it would stuff anything into its mouth.
Angor looked at the loose layers of skin on the demon's body and wondered if it was actually a fatty like Brofen who became skinny because of hunger.
Angor believed that he knew the truth.
In order to avoid more white mist, Angor acted as the demon's feeder for now. While he was feeding the demon, the demon remained motionless, waiting for food to be stuffed into its mouth.
But this was not a good idea.
Although the Magic Nourishing Flesh could continue to grow, the growth of the Magic Nourishing Flesh also required magic power. It did not cost a lot of mana, but the demon's mana pool would run dry sooner or later if it did not replenish itself.
He had to find a way to deal with this demon.
While watching the demon enjoying its meal, Angor suddenly had an idea. "Maybe … I should try poisoning it?"
…
Angor found himself in a spacious room filled with strange blood runes. In the center of the room, a heart was floating in the air.
His heart was still beating non-stop. Following the thumping sound, the strange blood patterns on the wall faintly glowed.
Beneath its bone helmet, Iyadese stared at the heart with a greedy look.
It was the heart of a lord monster.
It was something that Buffett had obtained by chance. He had originally planned to use the blood patterns drawn on the wall to homogenize the heart. When the frequency matched with his own, he would transplant the heart into his own body.
However, Buffett was already dead.
Of course, the heart did not belong to anyone. The reason why Iyadese left the underground hall in such a hurry was to get the heart first.
It took Iyadese a long time to break the barrier outside, and now, it was time to harvest the fruit.
Iyadese slowly reached a hand toward the heart.
Just as Iyadese held the heart in his hand, before he could feel the powerful energy, a faint roar suddenly entered his ears.
He looked at the source of the sound in confusion.
The sound came from the underground hall. When Iyadese looked over, he was surprised to find that the underground hall was covered by a layer of light runes. He could not see anything at all.
He was very familiar with this light rune. It was an inscription!
The inscription hub had been destroyed. Why would an inscription appear? Also, Iyadese was very familiar with the roar. It was Jupiter's voice!
Iyadese had found that Jupiter was unconscious in the underground hall, and almost all the energy in his body had been sucked away by the uninvited guest.
Iyadese did not pay attention to Jupiter who was in a deep coma due to the various things that happened later.
He did not expect that Jupiter would wake up at this time.
It did not matter if he woke up. His strength had fallen to the level of a great demon, and it would not have much impact. But why did the light runes reappear at this time?
Iyadese was suspicious. He originally planned to continue to go to the upper level of the Void Tower to look for the hidden items in Milotaurus' room. Now, because of the changes in the underground hall, he did not have the mood to do so.
After putting away the heart, Iyadese quickly ran down the stairs.
It wasn't just Iyadese who sensed the change underground. When Iyadese came to the first floor, he happened to see Bobota, who was huge and as ugly as an Alien, walking through the hallway.
Just like before, Iyadese looked at Bobota with hostility, but he did not make a move.
At this time, there were two complicated emotions in Bobota's eyes: extreme indifference and extreme craziness. They were clearly opposite emotions, but they were perfectly matched in his eyes.
He also saw Iyadarsai, but he just gave him a sinister smile. He walked past Iyadarsai and led the way to the underground hall.
Iyadese hesitated for a moment, but still followed him.
When he walked down the stairs, he saw Bobota standing quietly at the entrance of the underground hall, looking inside through the hole in the door.
Iyadese noticed that Bobota's eyes were not as extreme as before. There was a strange look in his eyes that could not be explained.
Could it be that something strange had happened inside? And why was Bobota standing at the entrance and not going in?
When Iyadese walked down the stairs, he was surprised to find that the door was covered by a layer of light runes. He could not enter at all.
However, despite the light runes, he could still see the situation inside the hall.
When Iyadese looked inside, he was stunned.
What did he see?
The Scholar of Cruelty statue in the center of the hall had its wings spread out?!
That statue was the medium for the Scholar of Cruelty's descent. If the statue moved, it meant that the Scholar of Cruelty's consciousness had descended again!
Why did it descend? Was it going to intervene in the game between the Abyss Lord and the Demon Eye of the Abyss?
Iyadese thought that it was impossible. Why did the Scholar of Cruelty's consciousness descend?
Iyadese slowly moved his eyes to the other side of the hall. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
Why was the owner of Psychedelic Hut here? Also, judging from his actions, he seemed to be … feeding Jupiter?!
