Chapter 374 Stage Transition
The arcane life forms were collectively stagnated, which made the believers who sought knowledge breath a sigh of relief.
What changed everything was Nicole Ceylon, who was bound by chains.
To be precise, it should be the version of Nicole who looked anxiously begging everyone for help.
The evil smile disappeared from her face at some point.
Instead, there was an expression that looked like he was enduring great pain.
"Heroes, I can't hold on for long, mother... the personality she used to replace me... can only be suppressed by me for a short time now!"
"I will reveal the core of those arcane life forms to you!"
"Please destroy them!"
The girl's guidance allowed the last 19 surviving believers seeking knowledge to finally feel relieved.
There's a way to deal with these dangerous enemies!
Within the stagnant energy mass, a fist-sized, shining tricotahedron gradually emerged.
The opportunity was precious and the light in the dungeon was poor. Pate couldn't see clearly what the energy core of the arcane lifeform looked like. He could only recognize that it was a very regular polyhedron.
"Is it really a standard polyhedron?"
Peter yelped in surprise.
During the discussion among the mages of the Magic Monastery about the nature of "arcane energy", a powerful sixth-level legendary mage once raised a conjecture.
The legendary mage believed that arcane energy was an extremely tiny particle that flowed in a dimension invisible to mortals—that is, the magic network.
The appearance of this particle will be that of a standard tricotahedron.
The basis for the conjecture is: the energy core of the arcane life forms summoned by high-level archmages or naturally generated in some arcane energy-rich areas must be in the shape of a tricotahedron.
However, mages cannot directly make conclusions about the appearance of arcane energy based on the situation of arcane life forms.
Therefore, this view can only be regarded as a conjecture at present.
However, there is a consensus among many people that the number 32 is related to the goddess of magic.
…
The energy core of the arcane life form was exposed, and the knowledge-seeking believers finally had a chance to cause real damage.
Brandon was the closest, so he rushed over and struck him with a sword!
The effect is remarkable!
In [The Secret of All Things], the target's life was cut off by a full 15% with this sword!
Nicole Ceylan, whose arms were bound and unable to move, couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.
"It's okay... don't pity me, please... continue!"
She shares the same body as that crazy Nicole Ceylon.
Although the arcane lifeforms are summoned by the latter, when they are harmed, the impact caused by the shock of the mental link directly affects the physical body.
Peter also put down the short staff he was using to assist in casting spells, took out a short knife from his waist, found an arcane life form and greeted him!
Although the energy core can be destroyed by physical attacks, it is still almost immune to magic.
Although Peter had little experience in fighting with swords, he could still treat the target as a piece of meat on a chopping board and chop it into pieces with ruthless hands.
The damage isn't high, but it's better than nothing!
The believers surrounded the 4 stagnant arcane lifeforms and chopped them for half a minute. When their health was reduced to 50%, Nicole Ceylan, who was struggling to hold on, finally couldn't hold on anymore.
"Heroes...please be careful!"
After issuing the warning, the girl's head hung weakly.
When he lifted it up again, his cold and evil smile returned.
"Mother's orders cannot be disobeyed!"
"Please—go to hell!"
Peter realized what was about to happen and spoke loudly to remind others:
"Keep your distance! Protect yourself!"
really.
As another Nicole Ceylan seized control of the body, the exposed energy cores of the arcane lifeforms were re-wrapped, and they also restored their normal ability to move. Amidst the trembling hum of energy, another surging [Arcane Barrage] scattered out!
Peter has figured out the key to victory in this battle!
They have to survive the almost endless high-intensity bombardment of arcane life forms.
Until Nicole Ceylan, who is willing to help them, takes back the body and reveals the energy core to them, they are using this short window to use their bursts as much as possible to destroy the arcane life forms!
One to defend, one to attack.
The two stages are distinct and alternate between them.
…
With the experience of the previous resistance, the battle scene this time was much more orderly.
Everyone relied on their abilities and tried to dodge the attacks they could.
If you really can't avoid it, just bite the bullet and eat it.
Priests can take some time out and immediately cast a [Healing Spell] or a [Secondary Healing] which is easier to recite than a prayer, and barely recover the damage received.
If you can't find the time, you'll be lucky.
After holding on for a full five minutes, the other Nicole finally gained control of her body again.
The energy core is revealed.
This time, there was no need for the girl Nicole to urge them. Peter and the others rushed forward in a hurry, attacking the exquisite standard tricotahedron with all their strength!
40%!
30%!
20%!
10%!
Because they have been prepared, all the explosive combat skills and magical skills that can be used are basically opened here, and the life of the energy core is also declining rapidly.
Before the girl Nicole lost control of her body, the four arcane lifeforms finally let out a low roar before dissipating.
"Woo buzz——"
Calm returned to the dungeon.
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for reaching out! Heroes!"
Nicole Ceylan thanked her with tired sincerity.
Peter did not immediately step forward to untie the chains that bound her, but looked at the other party warily:
"Which one are you now?"
"Why did this happen?"
The girl smiled bitterly and explained:
"Don't worry, I am the real Nicole Ceylon on your side."
"Destroying those arcane lifeforms has had a big impact on her. She will no longer have the energy to compete with me for control of her body in a short time."
After saying that, Nicole made a slight gesture to Peter: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qinnar, it was another me who caused you to be taken to the castle before."
"I didn't know anything at that time. When I lose control of my body, I will know nothing about the outside world."
"Glad to see you alive!"
"She is a personality designed by my mother using illusions. Once I do something that is not in line with my mother's expectations, she will take away my body and put everything back on track."
"My mother does not allow me to contact anyone from any other church, whether it is the Glow Church, the Church of Illusion, or your Church of Seeking Knowledge."
"I once tried to seek help from the Glow God Cult, but failed. My mother punished me severely for this."
"Now the only people I can hope for are you!"
"Please stop my mother!"
