Chapter 2760: The Dark Stalking Madman

~10 min read 1,838 words

When the doctor was summoned by Xia De at a remote crossroads in the forest half an hour ago, he had already informed Xia De of the specific location of the demon's most powerful split body. Therefore, after parting ways with the three ladies, Xia De flew directly toward that direction.

To be honest, he was not very worried about Sister Daelin. With the seal of the relic and the nun's restraint on flame power, plus the check and balance of the Chosen One of Death on death and resentment power, among the four people who had to face the demon tonight, Sister Daelin was the safest one.

As for the doctor, he confidently said that he had no problem. In the case that the demon did not seem to have obtained the help of the World Tree wreckage, Xia De indeed believed that he could completely solve the problem by himself. But now that George Conde had shown abnormalities, the doctor was probably also facing an unexpected situation.

Considering that the doctor had always had bad luck, the probability of an accident was even greater.

With the spell "Forest Path," traveling in the forest was quite convenient. Even though a major event like hunting a demon happened tonight, the forest was still so quiet in places outside the battlefield.

He initially flew as red butterflies, and then turned back into human form and ran in the forest. After all, he didn't want to involve the chocobos in matters related to the demon.

But while running under the moon, he thought of the words of Miss Bister, the werewolf girl of the Fifth Era, about "liberating wild nature," so he turned into the silver wolf in the silver light and continued to run under the moon.

Feeling the wind, feeling the moon, feeling nature, he tried to empty his brain according to the meditation method taught by Miss Bister. So, unknowingly, the silver wolf running in the forest at a very fast speed almost turned into a ray of light and traveled forward.

This feeling was quite good. Thinking of nothing, needing to do nothing, if so-called liberating wild nature was just like this, Xia De felt that he had already grasped the knack.

However, this did not bring him any brand-new spells or magic, but in his "Transformation-Silver Wolf" form, his movement speed could become quite fast, which could be considered an additional way of traveling.

So, in just ten minutes, Xia De arrived at the location pointed out by the doctor. This was a place that humans had not set foot in even in the current steam age, and due to environmental protection and military strategic arrangements, Willendale would probably never develop this area.

It was just that although traces of battle remained here, the shadows of the doctor and the demon were nowhere to be seen.

There was a giant pit dozens of meters deep and the size of two St. Deran Squares deep in the forest. The rocks in the giant pit were all crystallized due to high temperature, and at this time, they were still emitting black smoke and heat, making this place look like a volcanic crater.

Although the forest here was not on fire, traces of trees and land being corroded by black energy could be seen everywhere.

Besides that, a striking red mark was displayed on the earth, as if it had been slashed by a giant sword. And the darkness of this forest area was stronger than other places. Even though there were not many clouds in the night sky, the stars and the moon just couldn't illuminate this place.

It could be seen that the doctor had also experienced a great battle here, but it was impossible to judge who won and who lost from the traces. Xia De walked a few more steps forward, and then noticed the abnormal spatial fluctuations nearby, and thus understood that the doctor and the demon should still be here, but that space was hidden:

"Strong Spatial Perception!"

The complex spatial structure immediately appeared in his mind. Xia De walked a few steps to the front left, and after bypassing the giant tree blocking the way, he slashed forward at the air with his sword, and the most fragile position of the space was immediately opened.

He then jumped sideways and disappeared into the forest.

*Boom! *

Dozens of flame tornadoes formed by incomparably fierce flames swirled in the burning forest. The flame tornadoes seemed to connect the earth and the starry sky.

But even with such powerful power, the giant monster that was burning all over, with deer antlers, horse hooves, a tiger's body, a leopard's tail, an ox's face, monkey ears, and human hands, was still retreating continuously after a fierce collision. Although there were forest fires around, the burning forest under its feet had almost turned into wasteland.

Opposite it, Bill Schneider, wearing a black coat, floated above the sea of fire. The doctor's eyes lit up with red light, and the red rays shot out drew right-angle traces under the night sky to change direction. Two rays shot toward the demon holding the flame tornado, and the demon immediately grabbed the fire tornado and blocked it forward like wielding a javelin.

But the rays hit the flames, and the flames were completely disintegrated like solid matter, even causing one of the demon's arms to disappear because of this.

It crawled on the ground and made a sound similar to a beast, and then the horse hooves kicked the ground fiercely, and its body slammed toward the little man in the air like a cannonball.

The doctor did not intend to dodge at all, because in the shadows of the burning forest beneath him, a giant eight-clawed human-bodied spider crawled out in a pitch-black posture. It had the same size as that "beast," and a human torso stood on the spider's body, and there were over a hundred eyes in total on the human torso and the spider's face.

This was the fierce poison spider demon-Sergei hunted by Bill Schneider in the Sixth Era of 1845, before the Outsider came to this world.

The giant spider demon topped the fire demon forward, and then the black body disintegrated with a *Boom*, letting dense black spider silk entangle the opponent's whole body.

The spider silk with a strong soul-corroding effect made the "beast," which was almost irrational, roar again, and then it was cut in half by the giant moonlight wheel falling from the sky.

In the flames, the demon healed rapidly, while the doctor looked at Xia De standing on the tree crown not far away, and Xia De shouted to him loudly:

"Doctor, solve it quickly."

"You think I don't want to?"

The handsome-looking middle-aged psychologist in the air gave a helpless answer:

"In this forest, this thing is almost immortal. The forest is blessing it. It is now a natural phenomenon in the forest. I can't devour its power right now."

"So you can only cause fatal wounds again and again, make its core weak, and only when it can't maintain such a huge fighting body can you make a move?"

Xia De asked, but the doctor shook his head:

"I'm waiting for you. I want to use my Middle-Ring Sublimation Language, but even if I am prepared, I will have a period of weakness after that, so I must have you present before I can use it."

He did not intend to waste time at all, and asked very directly:

"So, Detective, are you ready?"

"Wait, what preparation do I need to make? Isn't it you who wants to use the Sublimation Language?"

"I mean, don't be scared by me!"

The whistle sounded long in the night sky, and the bell echoed above the sea of fire. Although ring warlocks could summon their life rings anytime and anywhere, Xia De always felt that when ring warlocks floated in the empty air, the appearance of summoning the life rings was the most fashionable.

The doctor's nine-ring life ring appeared in the steam mist at this time, and dense spirit runes were engraved on it. He raised his right index finger and pointed it at his forehead. When his finger left his forehead, he drew a pure black light from it:

"Dark Stalking Madman, the light that destroys the soul."

Core spirit rune-【Light of Soul】, blasphemy-【Darkness】, blasphemy-【Stalking】, whisper-【Madman】, blasphemy-【Destruction】, five spirit runes were lit up in turn, and with the blackness drawn from the doctor's heart as the center, the night was also invaded by the deep darkness, until the entire sky was completely dyed black.

The starry sky, the burning forest, the fire tornado, the moon, the darkness seemed to swallow all light and all heat. After a few seconds, everything around turned pitch black, and the only things still glowing were Xia De, the doctor with the life ring floating behind him, and the demon whose flames were suppressed to the limit.

It looked quite uneasy, wanting to struggle but being restricted by those black spider silks and unable to move. It possessed the most powerful power among the four demon split bodies, but unfortunately, it also possessed the lowest intelligence among the four split bodies.

Gradually, even the doctor himself was swallowed by the darkness.

The light around Xia De converged, making this dark world seem to have only the demon entangled by spider silk, and then low *Hahaha~* laughter came from all directions. Even though Xia De was not the target of this Sublimation Language, he still felt severe unease.

For the first few seconds, Xia De did not realize what kind of changes would happen in this world, but then he noticed that the demon stopped struggling, as if frozen in place by time stop.

A deep ink-colored light spot appeared on its chest, and immediately after, amidst the rampant laughter, a large hand with black liquid tore out from the demon's body.

Xia De did not want to use specific language to describe how disgusting this scene was. Simply put, the expanded Bill Schneider tore out from the demon's chest and completely tore the demon into pieces in the process.

But this was not over, because although the demon's body had been destroyed, the core of the fire disaster demon-Disaster in the darkness still existed.

Because all other split bodies had been eliminated, the core at this time was the most complete core of the demon. The expanded fireball floated in the darkness like a burning dark red gem, and the doctor who tore out also disappeared into the darkness again.

At the same time, the low, annoying laughter became louder and louder, until two red suns seemed to appear in the air.

But looking closely, he found that the two huge red "suns" were slowly approaching downward, and then Xia De realized that those were the doctor's eyes, and the giant doctor was leaning over to look down. ===== CHAPTER 2761 =====
