You can gather monsters? In midair, Laplace's eyes suddenly lit up.
She was having a good time, but there was one thing that annoyed her. There were so many monsters, but they were all spread out. She had to move around constantly to kill them one by one.
She could at most blow up ten Devil Beasts at a time. Compared to the number of Devil Beasts in the sky, ten Devil Beasts were not enough.
If she could gather the monsters together and kill hundreds of them at a time, it would probably take her less than a day to clear out all the monsters.
With that in mind, Laplace blasted several nearby monsters into pieces. Then, he kicked one that was trying to sneak behind him into two halves. Finally, Laplace descended from the sky and entered the safe zone.
The safe zone was a special area created by using several mid-level rune scrolls that contained anti-magic, anti-magic, anti-magic, purification, exorcism, recovery, etc., together with a magic array board. It had the appearance of a glowing dome. Under the protection of this dome, even if hundreds of demons attacked together, it would still take a few minutes to break through.
The safe zone couldn't be maintained for long, but Angor had unlimited supplies. Destroying a safe zone meant that a new one would appear in the next second. It didn't matter if the safe zone couldn't be maintained for long.
The main purpose of the safe zone was to give Laplace a place to rest.
Even if she didn't get tired physically, she would be mentally exhausted if she kept attacking monsters. As long as she could enter the safe zone, Laplace would be able to regain her energy in a short time.
It could be said that the safe zone was very useful to Laplace.
For Angor, the safe zone could prevent him from getting hurt by accident.
The only thing he regretted was that even with unlimited supplies, it was still a bit troublesome to set up the safe zone. He had to use several scrolls and a magic array disk. If only he could use the Dream Whelk to pull the Sunlight Garden or Sunlight Sanctuary into the safe zone. Both places were much more effective than Angor's safe zone. Sadly, the Dream Whelk couldn't do anything about the Mystery energy inside the sanctuary.
On the other hand, Laplace felt her tiredness disappear as soon as she returned to the safe zone. She couldn't help but moan in pleasure.
Laplace stretched herself and walked to Angor. "How do you plan to do that? How many monsters can you gather? "
Angor was about to say something when Laplace stopped him. "Never mind. I don't care how you do it. Just tell me where you're gathering the monsters, so I can go there and wait."
"I can't tell the exact location right now."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll give it a try. I'll see if it works this time." Angor shook his head.
Angor looked around and saw a small hill.
Although it was called a small hill, it was actually piled up by the crystallized soil that Laplace had blasted out. The reason why it could form a small hill so perfectly was that there was a large monster inside that had been blasted into charcoal.
Angor pointed at the hill. "That's the center."
Laplace asked, "Are you saying that I should wait over there?"
Angor nodded.
Laplace did not ask why, nor did he stay for long. He left the safe zone without hesitation and headed towards the small hill.
Next, he closed his eyes and used God's View to determine the location of his target.
After making sure everything was correct, he activated several scrolls.
Then, with the small hill as the center, the shadow of a huge cage suddenly appeared within a radius of a thousand meters.
The cage was shaped like a birdcage, enveloping around thirty magical creatures, which was the exact number of magical creatures within a thousand meters.
Not long after the cage appeared, thorns began to spread out from the grid of the cage. The thorns began to shrink, and the monsters were also suppressed by the thorns that spread out.
Laplace saw this and understood Angor's plan.
"Shadow of the Cage" was a spatial magic scroll that was used to seal off space. As for the thorns that appeared later on, they were the Thorny Forest, a control-type magic scroll. The thorns were very tough and difficult to destroy. Furthermore, the thorns were poisonous, and when magical creatures were trapped in them, their speed would be significantly reduced.
Meanwhile, Angor used Shadow of Cage to seal the area and Thorn Forest to restrict the movement of the monsters.
In the end, the monsters were all gathered together.
This was what Angor meant by "gathering monsters".
This method could work, but it was only effective against monsters that did not have much intelligence.
Unintelligent monsters didn't know that if they tried to break through the barrier, they might cause damage to Cage Shadow or Thorny Forest. And these low-intelligence or unintelligent magical creatures would subconsciously move closer to where they thought they were safe. This was their natural instinct to seek good fortune and avoid calamity. But sometimes, seeking good fortune and avoiding calamity would cause them to lose the chance to break out of their cage.
Angor was taking advantage of this.
The monsters that came from the Dream Realm were indeed low-intelligence monsters, so this method was just right.
Soon, all 30 monsters were gathered together. Laplace used several of his scales to deal with them.
When all the monsters were killed, Laplace returned to the safe zone.
Laplace shook his head as soon as he saw Angor. "No. This method is too slow."
It was true that the monster gathering was successful, but the weakness was too obvious. Firstly, it could only deal with monsters with low intelligence. Secondly, the speed of gathering monsters was not fast enough.
Putting aside the first point for now, the second point was the most important. Killing 30 monsters at once was a lot, but it would take a long time for the monsters to gather together. Considering Laplace's previous speed, he could easily kill more monsters in such a long time.
"I understand. But this is just a test. The main course is coming."
Next, Angor took out a cloak and handed it to Laplace. "Put this on."
Laplace looked at the cloak. "What's this?"
"Seamus' Skin. It can resist the power of space." Angor considered. "I'll probably use more space energy to restrict the monsters later. Take Seamus' Skin with you. Don't worry about getting hurt by the space energy."
Laplace didn't hesitate and put on the cloak.
"Don't worry about what's coming. Just kill the monsters at your own pace. I'll give you more scales. As for gathering monsters, I'll do it. You'll see. "
Laplace gave Angor a doubtful look but didn't say anything. He nodded and left the safe zone.
Once Laplace was gone, Angor quickly returned to reality. He took out another "Cage Shadow" from his bracelet. Next, he took out hundreds of array discs of different sizes.
This time, he was going to use the array discs to do something big.
Instead of entering the Dream Crystal, he used the Dream Gate and activated his God's View. Next, he placed more array discs into the Dream Crystal using the Dream Whelk.
The array discs were all located at different locations in the Dream Crystal. The furthest one was thousands of kilometers away.
When all the array discs were set up, Angor took the last one and the Cage Shadow scroll into the Dream Crystal.
When he opened his eyes, he was still in the safe zone.
He measured his position and placed the array disc at the center of the safe zone.
As he did so, the other 137 array discs in the Dream Crystal began to glow in their respective locations.
They only had one purpose: to amplify the effect of the core.
The core of the array was where Angor was standing.
Angor activated the Cage Shadow and slowly placed it on top of the array disc.
In an instant, the shadow of the huge cage appeared in the sky again.
Laplace also noticed the Shadow of the Cage, but this time, to her surprise, she couldn't see the edge of the Shadow of the Cage at all!
Laplace thought of something and sent a voice transmission to Angor. "How big is your Cage Shadow this time?"
"Three thousand kilometers," Angor replied.
Laplace was stunned for a moment before he muttered in a low voice, "You really made a big move this time. Forget it, I'll leave you alone for now."
Laplace returned to the battlefield while Angor returned to his God's View.
The Cage Shadow wasn't that big. It was less than one percent of the Dream Crystal's size.
Angor could make the Cage Shadow bigger. Five thousand kilometers, six thousand kilometers, or even ten thousand kilometers. But he didn't need to. Currently, there weren't any monsters that went that far.
In other words, the Cage Shadow could cover all the monsters.
Laplace said that using the Cage Shadow to gather monsters was slow, and Angor had to admit that. He had no way of improving the speed of gathering monsters. The only thing he could do was to increase the range of the Shadow of the Cage and reduce the area where the monsters could move. Finally, he could keep all the monsters in one area.
This was his real plan.
That's fine. I'll go with numbers and kill them all at once!
Now that he had the Shadow of Cage, the next step was to compress the monster's space. Previously, he used Thorn Forest to do so, but this time, he planned to modify it a little.
Apart from "Thorn Forest", he also activated a new scroll, "Sea of Electricity".
Just like the Thorn Forest, the Sea of Electricity was a control-type magic scroll. However, Sea of Thorns relied on tough thorns and poisonous thorns to reduce the monsters' movement area. Sea of Electricity, on the other hand, used the water droplets in the air to act as electric chains to paralyze and trap the monsters.
The advantage of Sea of Electricity was that it could spread out quickly and achieve control in the shortest time possible.
Its weakness was also obvious. It didn't do enough damage, so its control effect was mediocre.
Sea of Electricity, on the other hand, had the strongest effect at the edge of the scroll, while the weakest was at the center. From the edge of the scroll to the center, the effect would decrease gradually.
The edge of the scroll was even more effective than Thorn Forest.
This characteristic would cause the monsters that were affected by the electric shock to subconsciously move closer to the center where the effect was lower. Coupled with the continuous growth of the thorny forest, it would ensure that the monsters would be trapped in the center.
So what if there were more of them? So what if they were bigger? Without enough intelligence, they could only be tortured.
With that done, he returned to his humble job of removing scales for the "big boss".
Time ticked by. Angor didn't know how many times he had shedded Laplace's scales.
Finally, when Laplace turned the entire area into a smoke-filled area, the air began to condense into mist.
This meant that the Sea of Electricity had finally reached the area.
As expected, a few seconds later, the hissing sound of electricity filled the air. Electric snakes slithered through the mist, bringing with them the screams of many monsters.
The electricity didn't do much damage to the monsters, but it made them feel extremely uncomfortable. Many of them were already gathering together.
Laplace noticed this as well.
Apart from the time when Angor tried to gather monsters, she could only kill ten monsters at a time. But now, after the appearance of the Sea of Electricity, she was able to kill more than ten monsters with each explosion.
She could even kill thirty or forty monsters.
This increased the efficiency of her bombing by more than just a little.
And this was only the prelude to Angor's large-scale gathering.
Laplace was wondering how long it would take to get rid of all the monsters here. Now, it seemed that it would take less than half a day to get rid of all the strange-looking monsters.
After seeing the hope of solving the problem completely, Laplace became even more motivated, and his continuous bombardment even caused a small area of space to tremble.
Luckily, Laplace was wearing Seamus' Skin. Otherwise, the spatial ripples would have hurt her.
While Laplace didn't mind the spatial ripples, Angor was terrified.
He didn't mind Laplace's attacks because he could use his authority to slowly repair the Dream Crystal in the future. However, if he kept causing spatial ripples or even space collapses, the newly born Dream Crystal might not be able to hold on.
Angor didn't want his own people to destroy the Dream Crystal after clearing out all the monsters.
To avoid such a situation, Angor quickly asked Laplace to control her attacks.
Laplace didn't agree with Angor's suggestion, but she still obeyed and tried to limit her attacks to the weakest points.
Seeing this, Angor relaxed a little.
However, there was another problem that Angor had to reconsider.
Gathering monsters could kill them quickly. But what if the final gathering spot was too weak? If he couldn't get rid of all the monsters after several rounds of shedding scales, would the new space collapse instead?
Angor didn't care about the final gathering spot. But now, it seemed that he had to make some preparations.
He could either fix the final gathering spot at a place with a stable space, or strengthen the space at the center of the cage.
