Chapter 374 Phase Transition
The arcane life forms were all frozen, which greatly relieved the believers who sought knowledge.
The one who changed all this was Nicole Ceylan, who was bound by chains.
To be precise, it should be the previous version of Nicole who anxiously asked for help from everyone.
The evil smile disappeared from her face at some point.
Instead, it was replaced by an expression that seemed to be enduring great pain.
"Heroes, I can't hold on for too long, mother... her personality that replaced me... can only be suppressed by me for a short time now!"
"I will reveal the core of those arcane life forms for you!"
"Please destroy them!"
The girl's guidance finally put the last 19 believers who survived the knowledge-seeking life forms at ease.
There is a way to deal with these dangerous enemies!
A fist-sized, shining thirty-two-sided body gradually appeared in the frozen energy ball.
The opportunity was precious, and the light in the dungeon was poor. Pete couldn't see what the energy core of the arcane life form looked like, and could only recognize that it was a very regular polyhedron.
"It's really a standard polyhedron?"
Pet exclaimed in surprise.
In the discussion of the nature of "arcane energy" by the mages of the Magic Hermitage, a powerful 6th-level legendary mage once proposed a conjecture.
The legendary mage believed that arcane energy is an extremely tiny particle that flows in a dimension invisible to mortals - that is, the magic network.
The appearance of this particle will be a standard 32-sided polygon.
The basis of the conjecture is that the energy core of arcane life forms summoned by high-level mages or naturally generated in some areas rich in arcane energy must be in the shape of a 32-sided polygon.
However, mages cannot directly make a conclusion about the appearance of arcane energy based on the situation of arcane life forms.
Therefore, this view can only be used as a conjecture at present.
But the number 32 is related to the goddess of magic, which is a consensus reached by many people.
...
The energy core of the arcane life form is exposed, and the believers seeking knowledge finally have a chance to cause real damage.
Brandon was the closest, and he rushed over and chopped it with a sword!
The effect is remarkable!
In [The Secret of Everything], the target's life was cut by 15% by this sword!
Nicole Ceylan, whose arms were bound and unable to move, could not help but groan in pain.
"It's okay... don't pity me, please... continue!"
She and the crazy Nicole Ceylan shared the same body.
Although the arcane life forms were summoned by the latter, when they were hurt, the impact caused by the mental link shock was directly on the flesh.
Pete also put down the short staff in his hand that assisted in casting spells, drew a short knife from his waist, and found an arcane life form to greet it!
Although the energy core can be destroyed by physical attacks, it is still almost immune to magic.
Although Pete has little experience in fighting with swords, he will still chop the target into pieces as if it were a piece of meat on a chopping board.
The damage is not high, but it is better than nothing!
The believers surrounded the four arcane life forms in a stagnant state and hacked at them for a full half minute. When their life was reduced to 50%, Nicole Ceylan, who was struggling to hold on, finally couldn't hold on.
"Heroes... please be careful!"
After issuing a warning, the girl's head drooped weakly.
When she raised it again, she regained that cold and evil smile.
"Mother's orders must not be disobeyed!"
"Please - go to hell!"
Pet realized what was about to happen and shouted to remind others:
"Keep your distance! Pay attention to self-protection!"
Sure enough.
As another Nicole Ceylan seized control of the body, the exposed energy cores of the arcane life forms were wrapped up again, and they also regained their normal ability to move.
Amid the humming sound of energy vibration, the surging [Arcane Barrage] scattered again!
Pet has figured out the key to winning this battle!
They have to survive the almost endless high-intensity bombardment of the arcane life forms.
Until Nicole Ceylan, who was willing to help them, took back the body and revealed the energy core for them, they used this short window to perform as much burst as possible to destroy the arcane life form!
One defense, one attack.
The two stages are clearly divided and switched in turns.
...
With the experience of the previous resistance, the battle scene this time was much more orderly.
Everyone relied on their own abilities and tried to dodge the attacks that could be avoided.
If they really couldn't dodge, they would just bite their teeth and take it.
If the priests could spare time, they would immediately cast a [Healing Spell] or a [Secondary Healing] that was easier to chant prayers, barely recovering the damage.
If they couldn't spare time, they would just pray for the best.
After holding on for a full 5 minutes, another Nicole finally took control of the body again.
The energy core was revealed.
This time, there was no need for the girl Nicole to urge them. Pete and the others rushed forward in a hurry and attacked the exquisite standard 32-sided body desperately!
40%!
30%!
20%!
10%!
Because they were prepared, they used all the explosive combat skills and divine arts that could be used here, and the life of the energy core was also rapidly decreasing.
Before the girl Nicole lost control of her body, the four arcane life forms finally emitted a low roar before dissipating.
"Wuhum——"
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. Chinar, 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!"
