Rhine stretched out his finger and tapped lightly in front of him. An invisible wave rushed toward the distorted spherical monster in front of him.
Before the monster could react, it was crushed into a pile of minced meat.
"Let's continue forward." After Rhine killed the Distorted Ball Devil, he didn't stop and took the lead to quickly walk forward.
Angor quickly followed him. However, he frowned when passing by the monster's remains. He saw a broken tentacle on the ground, which must be one of the tentacles around the monster's body.
The tentacle didn't move at all. It was already a dead object. But why weren't the tentacles devoured by the darkness?
As he pondered, he sensed another energy ripple in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that not far away, there was another distorted ball-shaped demon.
Unsurprisingly, Rhine easily killed the ball-shaped devil once again.
He paid special attention to the monster's remains and found that it was indeed different from the other monsters. The monster's remains weren't devoured by the darkness. Even the green liquid inside the monster's body didn't disappear.
They ran into several more waves of monsters, and the number of ball-shaped monsters was very high.
Although none of them were a match for Rhine, the remains of the ball-shaped devil had never disappeared.
Both Sunders and Rein had noticed the strange phenomenon as well.
In response to the question about why the ball-shaped demon's remains did not vanish, Rhine offered his own guess. "What we can see now is that once a monster dies, it would be disintegrated and consumed by the darkness. There are only two reasons why this monster didn't do that.
Either it's still alive, or it's different from the monsters we killed before. "
This was also very easy to understand. The reason why he said it wasn't dead actually meant that the so-called ball-shaped demon wasn't a real demon, but rather something similar to the poisonous stingers that the Poison Thorn Red Vine had shot out. The poisonous stingers were only its means, and only by killing the Poison Thorn Red Vine's main body would the poisonous stingers disappear.
If the ball-shaped monster was just a trick or an ability of a monster, it wouldn't be strange if it didn't disappear. Only by killing the monster who created it could the monster disappear.
As for the difference between the ball-shaped monster and the other monsters they killed, it could be explained as the difference between virtual and real monsters. The monster they killed now might be a fake monster created by someone, while the ball-shaped monster was a real monster.
Rhine wasn't sure which of the two situations it was. However, he personally hoped that it was the first case, because the second case made him feel vaguely uneasy.
Along the way, they were getting closer and closer to the gate. With the help of their light shields, they could already see the outline of the gate not far away.
However, at this moment, they encountered the fifth ball-shaped devil.
This time, the ball Troll was a little strange. It didn't exist alone. Instead, it was attached to the head of a Troll holding a hammer. It looked like the Troll was wearing a strange hat.
As usual, Rhine used the sound wave spell — Silent Slaughter.
The troll subconsciously raised its hand to block the attack, and its hand immediately exploded. Even the hammer he was holding fell to the ground.
Rhine frowned and used Tranquil Slaughter again, hitting three spots in a row. They were the troll's legs, body, and head.
The three parts of the Giant Demon's body exploded one after another, and the Giant Demon disappeared without a trace.
The death of the troll should have been something worth celebrating. But now, both Rein and Sunders were frowning as well.
The reason for that was because the scene before them was simply too abnormal.
This was the Green-Eyed Troll they encountered before. It was probably as strong as a level-3 apprentice. Even Angor could easily kill it, let alone Rhine.
But this time, Rhine used Quiet Slaughter four times.
Tranquil Slaughter was a spell Rhine had created himself when he advanced to become a rank 2 Magus. It could be said that at that time, Rhine had already mastered the sound element spell techniques. Under such circumstances, the sound element spell techniques that he had created could be said to be comprehensive and powerful.
Silent Slaughter was such an offensive spell. It looked like a wave of energy that only attacked a single spot. However, when it came into contact with an enemy, it would immediately spread out and create a large area of effect.
For this reason, Rhine only needed to touch the Giant Demon lightly to break it into pieces.
However, this Green-Eyed Giant Demon, who wasn't particularly strong, had been able to withstand four Silent Massacres in a row. This caused everyone to be in disbelief. Normally, one Silent Slaughter was enough to kill the Giant Demon.
This kind of abnormal phenomenon was truly inconceivable.
"Did the ball-shaped monster use any special ability?" Angor asked in a low voice.
Both Sunders and Rhine shook their heads. They didn't see anything special about the Giant Demon. Still, they understood what Angor was trying to say.
"You're saying that this thing strengthened the troll's power?"
Angor nodded. "That's all. The only thing different about the Giant Demon is that there's a Giant Demon on top of its head."
Rhine chimed in. "I think Angor is right. When I destroyed the Giant Demon's head, I saw the Giant Demon's tentacle sticking into its head. The Giant Demon doesn't have any offensive abilities, but it can strengthen other monsters. "
Sunders raised an eyebrow. "That's rare. I think Dumartin will be interested in it."
Dumartin spent most of his time thinking about how to strengthen his stand-in puppets. If the Giant Demon could be used on his stand-in puppets, Dumartin would definitely be interested.
"If the Giant Demon can only strengthen other monsters, it won't be a big threat. But I think it's perfect for Dumartin. If we can capture one alive, we can try to study it. "Rhine paused." Let's go to the gate first. "
After clearing the first wave of monsters, they could already see the tightly shut gate in the distance. They didn't see any other monsters along the way.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any monsters on their way to the gate.
Angor looked at the archaic gate with a cogwheel pattern on it and quickly constructed Narda's Vision in his mind space.
Under the scan of Narda's Vision, a huge amount of data was displayed on the gate.
Angor didn't look at the data in detail. "It's the same."
"What's the same?"
"This gate is made of the same material as the gate I used to live in!"
