Chapter 226: 225 ‘Bro has an accessory. Chapter 226: 225 ‘Bro has an accessory. Just as Shane and Luoqi had defeated the half-human half-centipede monster, and it vanished into thin air, a scene unfolded in a corner of the Demon Realm.
In an unknown dark space, a monster with the body of a half-human half-centipede suddenly started to scream in agony as if it endured immense pain.
There was another half-human half-centipede monster here.
However, this monster was much bigger than the one Shane and Luoqi had defeated, spanning a hundred meters tall and emanating a terrifying magic power that seemed capable of causing heaven and earth to shatter, as it roared and struggled.
Alas, the massive monster was tightly bound by thick chains inscribed with magic spells, securing it in this dark space, and no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free from the chains.
Under such circumstances, the monster could only continue to howl in pain, causing the ground to tremble and the air to shake.
Several hidden figures in the darkness started to converse upon witnessing this scene.
“It seems that the young one from the Mitra Kingdom has been defeated.”
“Although they had the kingdom’s treasure and the strongest knight, it was only a matter of time before the young one was defeated. But I didn’t expect it to be so quick.”
“I thought they would only act after the young one had grown to a certain extent and struck out towards the Royal Capital.”
“It seems they were more cautious than we imagined.”
The figures in the darkness held such a conversation, completely ignoring the painfully screaming monster and treating the events in the Mitra Kingdom with utter indifference.
Moreover, they continued to converse.
“We’ve wasted a young one and hardly collected any sacrifices.”
“The harvest of sacrifices was indeed small there; it would have been better if we could have gotten more.”
“The level of demons around the Royal Capital of Mitra Kingdom is quite high. If they were offered as sacrifices to the mother, surely the completion of the mother would greatly increase at once?”
Thus, the shadowy figures exchanged their opinions in the darkness.
“Luckily, the young ones in other places haven’t encountered any problems.”
“There’s still another young one in the Mitra Kingdom; let’s see how those people decide to use it.”
“It doesn’t matter how it’s used, as long as we can collect enough sacrifices.”
“Then let’s continue to watch.”
“Indeed, continue to watch.”
After this exchange, the figures in the darkness slowly receded.
Leaving behind just one sentence resonating through the darkness.
“May our ‘King’ be born smoothly.”
This sentence, mixed with the monster’s roar, spread out.
But no one could hear it.
On the other side, Shane and Luoqi didn’t head back after the monster disappeared; instead, they were unwilling to leave empty-handed and started searching throughout the entire mountain.
In order to do this, Shane even took out the magic wand that Jiasinta had given him, using its detection effects to search through the mountains, hoping to find some clues.
However, they found absolutely nothing.
No, there was one anomaly that appeared, which could be considered a find.
This anomaly was that the large number of demons that should have been gathering in the mountains had all disappeared without a trace, and the mountain, which had seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony, had returned to normal, with its magical power no longer flowing in odd directions.
That is to say, the mountain no longer had any issues.
As the monster was defeated, all the strangeness here also disappeared with it, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Shane and Luoqi stayed in the mountain until evening, but after finding no other irregularities, they reluctantly gave up.
“Let’s head back,” said Shane, looking at the sunset-streaked sky with a sigh and speaking to Luoqi beside him, “We’re probably not going to find anything useful if we keep searching .”
Upon hearing this, Luoqi still felt somewhat unwilling to give up.
“We finally caught a tail, and now it’s gone.” Luoqi muttered irritably, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have killed that monster. It would have been better to capture it alive.”
“Save it,” Shane replied with no optimism, “That creature was already strange to begin with, plus it was half-physical and had Dragon Breath that could break through any defense, how were you supposed to capture something like that alive?”
“There’s always a way, isn’t there?” Luoqi said petulantly, “You’re always buried in the archives learning magic, and you’ve even mastered Grant Magic. Don’t you have any methods?”
“…Well, it’s not like there’s none.” Shane pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “I remember there’s an Upper-Level trait in Grant Magic called ‘Imprisonment’ that can directly affect magic power. If we use this trait, we should be able to seal that monster.”
“Also, in Celestial Magic, there is an Upper-Level Magic called ‘Ten-layered Star Ring.’ It simulates the movements of ten celestial bodies, sealing the enemy directly in a separate starry space. To break through such a seal, unless one can change the movement trajectory of a celestial body or shatter the separate starry space, it’s impossible to break free, resulting in eternal imprisonment.”
If they used this kind of Upper-Level Celestial Magic, they should be able to capture that monster alive, right?
At least, Shane was confident about it.
But Luoqi was shocked by Shane’s words.
“You learned Celestial Magic, too?” Luoqi asked in surprise, “Isn’t that a super difficult Ancient Magic? I heard that not even one of the Court Mages in the Magic Research Department has been able to learn it, and that both Divine Race and Demon Clan have borrowed it for study, spending years without anyone having learned it yet. You’ve actually learned it?”
This time, Luoqi was truly astonished.
Learning Celestial Magic and Grant Magic were completely different concepts.
Grant Magic was rare and seldom learned by people, mainly because it had very high requirements for magic power. Many couldn’t learn it not because it was too difficult, but because they couldn’t produce strong effects, which is why so few chose to learn it.
But Celestial Magic was different, being even more difficult to learn than Space Magic. Throughout the history of both Divine Race and Demon Clan, there were hardly any who could master it.
So, this magic gradually declined and was eventually lost.
Yet Shane seemed to have learned it?
“Don’t look at your brother like that,” Shane glanced at the astonished Luoqi and said indifferently, “Brother’s got a hookup, and you can’t be envious.”
“Envious, my foot,” Luoqi immediately smacked Shane, voicing her dissatisfaction, “If you’ve learned Celestial Magic and have a way to capture that monster alive, why didn’t you do it?”
“Who knew it would disappear like that?” Shane retorted, “Given the situation at the time, of course killing it was the only option without discussion.”
“You…” Luoqi immediately became exasperated.
The two of them started bickering, continuing until it was dark.
It must be said, both of them were quite childish.
