I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle
#257 - Root removal
The old man and Jessie completed their eye contact, and the Colosseum's curse descended as promised—Jessie, like Brad and Karl, locked her gaze firmly on the demon in the cave, leaping forward to meet it and instantly ascending to the eighth rank!
Magic exploded, the silver armor flashed, and layers of fine lines headed straight for the old man.
Li Yue was also helpless, blaming the female knight's eye-catching silver armor, which was always more attractive than his own rags; with this female knight, who had temporarily risen to the eighth rank, fighting the old man, Li Yue had more time to deal with the eggs and cocoons in the cave, without worrying about Jessie seeing through his demon identity.
Eyeballs, overwhelming eyeballs, floated in the underground cave of the Colosseum.
Eyes of Aberration.
Bone spurs, overwhelming bones, each paired with an Eye of Aberration, as a means of breaking rocks.
Although there were countless eyeballs, they did not immediately release petrifying rays, but instead floated to the edge of the cave, seeking the best angle to release them—although the Eyes of Aberration were already Li Yue's sensory extensions, using their abilities still consumed a small amount of Li Yue's main body's magic, so Li Yue had to choose to conserve it.
Fortunately, the eggs of the Tumba Flies were arranged neatly, and as long as the angle was right, not a single bit of "petrifying ray" would be wasted—and with the sensory abilities after the second advancement, Li Yue felt… he was the most suitable candidate for destroying the underground cave.
It could be considered a match made in heaven in another sense.
As for the battle between the old man and Jessie, Li Yue did not participate at all, only feeling that the area had been turned into an independent domain by silver threads, and any creature retreating into the range would become Li Yue's attack target; similarly, the Tumba Fly eggs in the distance were all shattered, and the ground was covered with broken limbs, adding a layer of venomous pool to the already simple battlefield, constantly emitting a "hissing" corrosive sound.
The giant cocoon also noticed it. Few demons habitually transform into human forms—like the Incubus, like the Gnoll, maybe that old man was the same.
Only the area where the old man and Li Yue fought still had some eggs left. Long Xiang was afraid that the petrifying rays would affect Li Yue's battle, so he let go of this large area.
The giant cocoon was focused on digging at Long Xiang and had no interest in sparring with the old man, so it didn't answer.
Clearing the eggs was equivalent to wiping out the Colosseum's active forces, but destroying Jessie was the only way to completely eliminate O'Keefe's entire Tumba Fly plan.
And without confirming how many layers Jessie had, the giant cocoon couldn't blindly use the "Withering Thorn" once a day, and could only continue to retreat, looking for the core of Jessie.
"Dad?" The old man's fingernails suddenly elongated, almost piercing Li Yue's silver armor and also rupturing Long Xiang's cheekbone.
While speaking, the Eyes of Aberration and bone spurs around the cave had not yet found their respective angles, and they simultaneously emitted petrifying rays from the inside out, while the magic of the giant cocoon's main body was also rapidly consumed. At this moment, hanging under Jessie, it felt a little dizzy.
"Is he a hero? Or a demon?" The old man flicked away a few silver threads around his body and spoke lightly—although he couldn't see what the giant cocoon was doing, it didn't affect his inquiry.
"Don't worry, I will eat him, eat them all." The old man sensed that the female knight's power was weakening and was confident in eliminating the two, "The taste of a hero is the best, and… once he is in my stomach, I can even taste what path he is a hero of…"
Fortunately, all calculations were not yet complete. In less than a quarter of an hour, the petrifying rays on the outer perimeter could hit the central Long Xiang and converge there to jointly attack Jessie.
However, the outer perimeter of the Eyes of Aberration retreated at a good pace. The petrifying rays and bone spurs cooperated perfectly and had already advanced more than halfway in the cave. In a few more minutes, they could directly shoot at Jessie from several angles.
The roots became thinner and thinner, and Jessie seemed to have lost nutrition, bursting into a violent tremor; on this side, Long Xiang's silver thread network was also gradually torn apart by the old man's attacks and was losing its scale.
The giant cocoon conservatively estimated that the Tumba Fly eggs on the four walls could all be cleared, but it was not sure whether it would be able to destroy Jessie in time—Long Xiang guessed that Jessie should be the key to making Tumba Flies.
Sure enough, a knight's comrade is not easy to be.
Pillars of light shot out from the cave, and sand and stones constantly rustled upwards, even mixed with the flesh and blood of different monsters; and within the cave, eyeballs and bone spurs floated, and the Tumba Fly eggs collapsed in rows like dominoes, finally reaching Long Xiang's location when the silver threads were gradually unsupported.
"You little brat." The giant cocoon circled around Jessie for a long time, and found that there was no better way than to break it with force, and was naturally a little irritable.
It was just that from the outside, this old man was no different from a human.
Jessie was a whole, and the petrification speed was extremely fast. After struggling for about a quarter of an hour, the giant cocoon was still spinning around on the outer shell, and had not even glimpsed the veins inside.
The sound of creaking sounded, and the bone river eroded the roots.
The giant cocoon was a little anxious and hurriedly accelerated its movements.
And in the vision of the old man and Long Xiang, they could only see each other's movements, and nothing else but a white mist.
Regardless of what was inside, the giant cocoon could only choose to petrify it first, like dealing with the eggs, and then smash it with a heavy blow.
Can a fourth-rank knight share his damage to me here?
Vaguely, the old man sensed that the cave was filled with strange magic fluctuations, which was why he asked this question.
Jessie's upper and lower roots were hit by countless petrifying rays, and immediately rumbled, as if about to collapse; the giant cocoon also immediately gave up on breaking through directly from the center of the outer shell, jumped to the top of Jessie, summoned the bone river, and constantly washed away the already petrified roots!
And Long Xiang also tried to analyze the old man. Judging from the analysis speed, it was a high-level demon, and might not even know what kind I was before the cave was destroyed.
The giant cocoon then seized the time to move to Jessie in the center of the cave, and directly struck it with a bone sword, with a "ding" sound, piercing a crack in Jessie.
"This is my friend." Long Xiang's voice also rang in my ears, and the giant cocoon suddenly found that it was also beginning to suffer damage, and the patchwork of strange people and the self-healing bone layers were cracking layer by layer.
Thinking this, Van Helsing had his eyes torn open by the giant cocoon, filled with Eyes of Aberration, and shot out several streams of petrifying rays—Long Xiang petrified Jessie's outer shell while suddenly retreating, preparing to destroy it from the inside.
The old man seemed to know that Li Yue's fighting style would not last, and was not in a hurry to fight you head-on, fighting neither tightly nor slowly, constantly observing the hero's weaknesses—if it were not for the Colosseum's curse being a double-edged sword, preventing him from moving his eyes away, the old man would have discovered the giant cocoon's demon identity.
If there were no Colosseum's curse, the old man and Li Yue could see… the underground cave was covered with rubble, and all the petrified eggs would turn into dark green rubble under the bone spurs' stabs, with a fishy stench everywhere.
Although the speed was very fast, at least when looking through "X-ray vision", you could see Jessie's outer shell gradually petrifying and constantly deepening inward.
The giant cocoon hung on Jessie, changing the angle of attack, and then used the Magic Wolf's Fang, Petrifying Ray, and Lava Left Hand to strike a set, and found that the Petrifying Ray still had the best effect.
A quarter of an hour was approaching.
Boom!
The old man's fighting style seemed to be related to the curse. Long Xiang's silver armor was sometimes wrinkled and sometimes dyed white, and the raised hair would break at any time, as if an invisible demon was breathing and exhaling in your ear, spitting out different mists.
Jessie's lower roots broke, falling vertically, and at that moment, the giant cocoon suddenly received a strange prompt.
Long Xiang also remembered that this guy should be distracted looking for his own position, and immediately decided to shut his mouth.
