Seventh Chapter 797 Magic Body

"Good job," Roland waved to the undulating black shadow that had entered the veil.

A smiling face vaguely emerged from the dark shadow, as if responding to his encouragement. If one didn't know there was a witch hidden inside, they would surely scream at the sight.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is in the hall, reacting very strongly, with a magic level close to a large hybrid evil beast," Faldi reminded.

"Tricky?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's not an enemy like a high-level devil, Ling and I can handle it," Phyllis said.

"Then act according to plan."

After passing through the long corridor, Roland found that the windows around the villa were covered with foam boards and tape, and only a few lights were on, making the entire hall quite dim. The air conditioning was set very low, as if stepping from the lingering heat of early autumn into winter, and the air was filled with a stale, rotten smell that was nauseating.

A man in a suit stood motionless in the center of the hall, obviously their target. The moment Roland stepped into the hall, he felt the warm current in his body rapidly expand, and the leaping sensation was several times stronger than when he encountered the Masked Man.

It seemed Faldi had caught a big fish.

However, what caught his attention was the huge monster statue hanging on the background wall facing the man, which was as tall as two stories. The statue's material looked like wood at first glance, but also somewhat like dried leather. It had a human face but possessed a pair of wings, with thick hind legs and slender forepaws curled in front of it, making it look particularly incongruous. The monster was nearly four meters tall, and the texture of its feathers and skin were carved vividly, making its value clearly high.

A rich man's perversion, Roland muttered to himself. Just looking at the craftsmanship, this thing must be worth at least a million.

"Let's do it." He retracted his gaze and focused his attention on the target.

"Yes."

Using the Veil of Darkness to approach within about two meters of the enemy's back, Phyllis launched the first attack.

The bone claws extending from her back slashed towards the suited man with lightning speed. The interference of magic caused ripples in the veil, and the other party seemed to sense something, turning his head sharply! But at this distance, even an extraordinary person would not have time to dodge. Almost simultaneously, the bone claws cut into the man's neck and out of his waist, diagonally cutting him in two.

The enemy's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground with an incredulous look, dark red blood splattering everywhere.

It seemed that even without stripping away the Core of Nature, as long as the main body suffered severe damage, the Fallen could not survive.

"Is that it?" Ling poked her head out from the shadows next to the sofa.

"The next search is the key," Roland said,捂着鼻子道, wondering if it was his imagination, the stench in the air seemed to have intensified. "Remember what I taught you before?"

"Gold jewelry, red paper slips, and iron boxes with discs!" Ling raised her hand and said, "Coins are worthless, don't bother with gems!"

"That's right, especially the red paper slips, the more the better." Based on his experience in searching Hermes Holy City, the price of gems fluctuates too much, making it difficult to sell them for a suitable secondhand price, far less stable than gold. Of course, the best is cash... he thought, hoping this guy wasn't a hobbyist of buying.

As Roland squatted down, intending to convert the cluster of Natural Power embedded in the suited man's stomach, Faldi suddenly frowned, "Wait... why does the magic reaction still exist?"

"What?" The other three were slightly stunned.

"The source of magic hasn't disappeared, on the contrary, it's getting bigger!" She looked up and around, seemingly searching for something, then fixed her gaze on the statue, "Damn it, this monster is alive!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the statue suddenly opened its big mouth and spat out a frog-like long tongue, stabbing straight at Roland.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Phyllis did not hesitate to stand in front of him, and at the same time, two bone claws grabbed towards the direction the tongue was coming from.

However, Roland was no longer what he used to be. He clearly captured the trajectory of the monster's attack, put his arm around Phyllis's waist, and rolled to the side, avoiding the long tongue that shot like an arrow.

The monster's tongue directly pierced half of the corpse on the ground, then缠住 the Core of Nature, and pulled it suddenly—the crimson core immediately flew towards the statue's big mouth.

Roland noticed that the Natural Power, which was originally in a solidified state, actually began to spin again under the monster's touch.

As the monster moved, a large group of insects flew out from behind it, panicking and fleeing in all directions—obviously they were all attracted by the other party's magic, but because they couldn't share vision, Faldi hadn't distinguished that the magic reactions in the hall came from two different targets!

"Ha... look what I see, a group of martial artists送门来的?" The statue swallowed the core in one gulp and actually started talking. "You thieves who steal power, you shouldn't exist in this sacred domain at all, go to hell!"

It raised its neck, as if taking a deep breath, and then喷出 a mouthful of scarlet breath towards the people in the hall—

It was pure magic!

In an instant, the furniture and furnishings in the hall were torn to pieces, and the Veil of Darkness was also shattered by this wave of attacks. Tonn and Faldi, hidden within it, had several blood marks on their bodies and fell heavily to the ground—fortunately, at the critical moment, the two avoided the most violent center area of magic, so they didn't fall apart like the furniture.

Roland's condition was much better. When the magic struck, the warm current in his body instantly spread throughout his body and protected his vital parts like armor.

But what kind of attack was this? He was shocked. It was completely different from the witches' abilities. Directly converting magic into damage energy, this kind of attack was simply unprecedented—since possessing extraordinary power, he had become increasingly familiar with the aura of magic, and the other party's attack was definitely not something a Fallen could do.

The witches' expressions were also particularly surprised, which meant that the monster's understanding of magic was even higher than theirs.

"Its magic reaction... is close to a high-level devil!" Faldi gritted her teeth and said, "How is this possible?"

"Devils? Is that what you call my kind?" The monster actually grinned coldly. It easily broke the rivets that fixed its wings and jumped down from the wall, squatting in front of everyone like a gargoyle. "Without permission, you privately steal power from the神域, and now you call the pursuers devils? Simply foolish!"

神域? Pursuers? Roland couldn't help but frowned. What was it referring to?

At this moment, a beam of black light leaped out from the shadows behind the monster, flying past its cheek—it was Ling's figure! With a crisp snap, a short knife pierced into the monster's eye from the other side,刺了个对穿 its head. Ling didn't pause at all after succeeding,遁入阴影 again the moment she landed, the entire sneak attack process as smooth as flowing water.

"Well done!" Phyllis clenched her fist and said.

"Beautiful?" However, the monster didn't fall down like the Fallen. Cracks appeared on its wooden face, and its dry voice sounded indifferent and ruthless. "With this ordinary iron and the attached tiny magic, you dare to try to harm me? You simply don't know what the 神域 means! Now let you see the master's true power."

As it spoke, a series of cracking sounds rose and fell, and the cracks quickly spread from its face to its entire body. Then, the dim shell turned into pieces of debris, peeling off from its body. A dark red light bloomed from under the wooden shell, like scarlet blood.

When it fully revealed its true form, Roland opened his mouth in surprise.

Hidden under the statue's shell was a body composed purely of magic, with clusters of nebulae flickering and never extinguishing within it, eventually converging into a huge星盘 on its chest.

It was actually a magic creature.
