"【candle】!"
Li Mo suddenly said.
He doesn't have the underlying code like the anime protagonists who have to stand there and watch the enemy's second transformation end before taking action. No matter what the opponent's plan is, he will just burn it first.
In a flash, the girl was enveloped by silver flames and rolled on the ground screaming.
"Foolish mage... You, you have been marked by the Great Light..."
At the end, the girl showed a sinister smile full of resentment and evil on her face. After she looked at Li Mo and said this, she closed her eyes.
The silver flames around the girl gradually died down, and from her appearance, there was no sign that she had just been on fire.
Li Mo ignored the girl who had turned back into a normal person and turned his gaze to the ball of light floating in the center of the room.
Li Mo naturally couldn't let go of such a suspicious thing.
In fact, the first target he chose to cast the spell [Candle] after landing was this ball of light, but the ball of light did not change at all.
Of course, this does not mean that [Candle] is ineffective against that ball of light.
You should know that the essence of [Candle] is not flame, but turning a selected existence into fuel. Flame is just a by-product of the spell.
The moment he saw the light ball, Li Mo activated [Candle] on it, but there was no change. This means that the light ball only looks like a light ball, but its essence is not like that. Therefore, simply using the "light ball" as the target of the spell will result in the phenomenon of not being able to select the opponent.
In just a few seconds, Li Mo tried to define the other party as "matter" and "energy", but he was unable to trigger the effect of [Candle].
It seems that this ball of light is neither "matter" nor "energy", and even its form of existence has nothing to do with the two - if it contains even a little bit of matter or energy, [Candle] will produce the same effect as burning away the other wills attached to the girl without damaging the girl herself.
So, is it weird?
Li Mo tried to define it as a 'supernatural existence', but [Candle] still didn't work, which made him frown.
This huge ball of light, and you're telling me it's not a supernatural entity, then what is it? A lightbulb? A mirage? A fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experiment?
Suddenly, Li Mo had an idea in his mind as if it had been electrocuted.
Since it is neither matter nor energy, it is most likely the embodiment of some kind of 'concept' or 'information'.
Speaking of the "information" related to these slender ghosts around and the human-faced sores on the meat, Li Mo actually knew one.
"It's life, the life of the patient stolen by the human face sore..."
Thinking of this, he once again launched the magic spell [Candle] towards the light ball.
This time the ball of light was not spared, but actually burned, turning from a ball of light into a ball of fire.
But Li Mo's brow furrowed deeply after a moment——
Chapter 308: The truth about the divine fetus.
The outer shell of the light ball, formed by the "lives" of many people, was indeed burning fiercely.
But in Li Mo's feeling, the core inside the light ball was not burned, [Candle] was just burning the outer shell.
This won't work.
"Tsk...I didn't want to use it."
Li Mo sighed helplessly, took off his glasses, and planned to activate the True Vision.
This thing puts a huge burden on the body, especially the brain. Originally, Li Mo would have to rest for a long time after using it once. Although the burden has been slightly reduced recently due to the strengthening of his body by magic power, it is only "slightly" in the literal sense. Theoretically, it can be used once a day at most, and two or three times a week is the limit.
However, in order to confirm the overlap of malicious networks and find the hiding place of the culprit a few days ago, Li Mo had already overclocked several times. He originally planned to take a break and recover on the weekend, but he encountered Gokogen Ruri being attacked by a ghost. In order to confirm the safety of the girl, he used today's Truth Vision without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, after finally finding the target, he was unable to completely eliminate it because he didn't know what the other party was, so he had to activate the True Vision again.
"Let's not talk about the burden, but I feel like my eyesight will be affected if I keep looking at it like this..."
He muttered and prepared himself mentally, looking at the ball of light in the air that had turned into a fireball.
However, just this one glance was enough to make Li Mo feel like he was struck by lightning. His face turned pale and he froze there.
Blood oozed from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
Some ghosts seized the opportunity to attack him, but fortunately the cursed fire scales on Li Mo's body were not removed. When they touched him, they faithfully played their effect. Even if Li Mo himself did not dodge, he would still burn all the sneak attacking ghosts.
After a while, Li Mo, who had been controlled for several seconds, seemed to come back to his senses. He used all his strength to close his right eye tightly, thus interrupting the effect of true vision.
He knelt on the ground panting, sweating all over, even the sweat had a faint red color. It seemed that some capillaries had burst under the huge pressure, making him look a little embarrassed.
"I was careless..."
The status of the light ball opposite was unexpectedly high, so the amount of information fed back by his true vision just now was too huge, almost boiling his brain.
However, misfortunes often bring good fortune, and it was precisely because of this that Li Mo finally figured out what the other side was.
In short, the other party is an evil god from another time and space.
Due to some accidents, the consciousness of one of his followers passed through the cracks in the world and attached itself to the girl named Aragaki Ayase.
At first, the girl thought she was haunted by a ghost. Although she had looked for various exorcists, there were not many people in this world who truly possessed supernatural powers. Moreover, even if they found the real thing, their exorcism abilities would probably be useless against the evil god's followers from another time and space.
In the end, the girl was swallowed up by the consciousness of the evil god's followers from another time and space in fear and became its vessel.
The evil god's clan, having seized control of the body, naturally planned to have its god descend to rule this world, making this world the promised land for their clan.
However, the "supernatural" characteristics of this world itself are very special, and it has a strong rejection of extraordinary beings from other worlds.
Even the evil god cannot forcibly descend into this world - the consequence of doing so is to be cut off from this world and thrown into the endless void.
So the evil god's followers chose a roundabout way to save the god.
Since forcing our arrival isn't an option, we might as well deceive the world and allow the Heretic God to legitimately enter this world by 'birthing' us—we are native creatures 'born' in this world, merely with slightly more unusual talents...
As for how to transform this world after birth, that is the Evil God's business.
The original plan of the evil god's clan was to select a suitable girl, make her pregnant and become the evil god's incarnation, to serve as the 'Mother God' who gave birth to the evil god.
But the vast majority of women in this world are just ordinary people, and they simply don't have enough mystery to be the mothers of God. After hesitating for a long time, and delaying until the plan would be detected and corrected by the immune system of this world if it was not implemented, the evil god's followers only found two people who met the requirements.
One of them is Gokou Ruri.
Just as Li Mo had felt a long time ago, although the girl herself was not aware of it, her spell was by no means a simple [Cat] - after all, when the spell went out of control, even crows and stray dogs were affected - although the evil god's followers were not clear about her true nature, it was obvious that the mystery she possessed was enough to serve as a mother body for the evil god to take on flesh.
By the way, another candidate who meets the requirements is Li Mo, but he was excluded from the mother body's selection due to gender issues.
Shivering and cold.
However, Li Mo caught the flaw of the slender ghost the first time he appeared next to the girl, and he had been on guard ever since then, until today when he could no longer delay and had to launch an attack.
The result was naturally that the abduction failed because of Li Mo's heroic appearance.
Fortunately, the evil god's followers also arranged Plan B, which was to use the human-faced sore to peel off enough secrets from the girl to cast a magic base, and then fill it with a large amount of vitality to create a container with the meaning of "placenta", and use rituals throughout the process to simulate the "birth" process.
According to the general animation or game presentation format, the protagonist of this world should first go through a JRPG-style adventure to collect clues bit by bit, and finally deduce the final destination when the evil god is about to be born before attacking him. After a fierce battle, he still failed to stop the evil god from coming. In the end, he rushed forward shouting love and bonds and beat up the evil god, giving people a feeling of "you can obviously beat the final boss, so what were you doing before?"
But Li Mo obviously did not have the awareness of being the protagonist.
So when there were still at least forty hours before the birth of the evil god, he turned on the cheat and brought the pink-haired duo to launch a sneak attack.
So the evil god's followers were eating hot pot and singing songs, and before they realized anything, they were beaten to death by Li Mo.
"The Great Light, huh..."
Li Mo gasped, his right eye tightly closed, and he looked at the fireball in front of him with his remaining left eye: "'Birth', right..."
He decided to perform a small resection operation on the evil god in front of him, so that he could experience the shock of abortion.
Chapter 309: Compound Spell.
Perhaps realizing what Li Mo was going to do, the light ball... or rather the evil god Critia inside the light ball stopped pretending.
The 'shell' that originally covered him began to activate, emitting an oppressive aura. Even the flames on his body lost control in the blink of an eye and became a part of him.
It was a ball of fire that violated the laws of nature. Its light was no longer the pale silver color that Li Mo used to hunt enemy chiefs, but a sickly green color. It was the result of death, malice and madness mixed into the fire.
The fireball was suspended in the air, neither rising nor falling, just burning quietly, with black lines like blood vessels flowing on its surface, and occasionally a low humming sound would burst out, as if it was humming something in a unique voice that was difficult for mortals to understand.
The turbid black goo spread out. At first glance, it seemed to have given up resistance and leaked out along with the core, but in fact, it was based on a law from a corner of the universe in the ancient times that humans could not understand, making its own structure more stable and unshakable.
A twisted outline loomed at its core, as if countless tentacles were wriggling within, trying to break free from the flames. Every time the fireball trembled, the air around it twisted, swallowing the light and leaving behind a suffocating darkness.
The ground began to crack under its illumination, and the pieces of flesh attached to the walls oozed a sticky, fetid liquid, as if the earth itself was rotting in fear.
Just by looking at this ball of dark green fire, one could already feel that his sanity was under a great burden.
Li Mo tried to regain control of the flame, but failed quickly. After all, the essence of the spell [Candle] was to turn the target object into fuel, and the flame was just a derivative effect. Therefore, his control over the flame itself was not very strong.
So Li Mo decisively gave up this meaningless behavior and began to try to turn around and launch [Candle] towards the opponent's already exposed core, that is, the embryo of the evil god Clytia. However, he was blocked by the turbid black sticky substance on the outside that was different from the shell constructed by vitality.
This time, Li Mo actually knew the true nature of that layer of turbid black. It was a ritual foundation constructed from the mystery of Wu Geng Liuli stolen by the human-faced sore. It was an existence similar to a 'concept'.
It cannot resist the power of the candle, but the ritual itself can be repaired. As long as enough vitality or other power is invested, the ritual base will continue to grow, just like constantly adding fuel to a candle, blocking the candle in a precarious state.
And the insignificant time it gained was already able to begin to change the course of the battle - the embryo's presence suddenly increased, and even without the vision of truth, Li Mo could guess what the evil god Clitia wanted to do.
He gave up on sneaking into this world through birth, and instead used the embryo as an anchor, intending to forcibly enter this world.
Li Mo gritted his teeth: Isn't this guy afraid of being rejected and exiled by the world?
But he soon realized that the embryo of the evil god Clitia was not in the real world at this moment, but was dragged into the mirror space. This place did not belong to the real world, but was a different space similar to the magic world!
Compared to the real world, which is quite sensitive to the extraordinary power from different time and space, the mirror space has much lower resistance to different time and space. The evil god Clitia intends to directly seize the ownership of the mirror space, take it for himself, and turn it into a bridgehead adjacent to the real world for invading and distorting reality!
Even if this space cannot withstand the power of the evil god and shatters, his full-strength attack can leave a wound in the real world that is enough to serve as a signpost, so that he can invade this world again in countless time and space in other ways next time.
The fireball slowly rose and flew into the air, where it began to emit a strange glow like a dark green sun.
"I won't let you have your wish—"
Li Mo gritted his teeth and prepared to launch the real killer move, which was the abortion operation.
However, the embryo of the evil god Clytia seemed to know that he was about to launch a powerful attack and suddenly let out a roar.
No, it was more like some kind of indescribable mental scream that directly hit Li Mo, causing his movements to pause for a moment.
Even though he only lost consciousness briefly, when his mind regained clarity, he already felt like he was one step too late.
But almost at the same moment, Yuigahama Yui, who was protected by the dessert golem on the mirror sea, continued to hold the mirror pendant in Chihaya Aine's hand with one hand to maintain the existence of the mirror space, and reached into Napoleon's body with the other hand and took out a camera from it.
She pointed the camera at the dark green fireball and pressed the shutter without hesitation.
Suddenly, the cursed camera from Wenshui's house made a hissing sound and emitted a pungent smell of burning plastic.
But even so, the camera effect was successfully launched.
So the evil god Critias, who was about to break out of the shell, was stuck. After all, the ritual basis for his birth was changed from the 'mother' body to the 'father' body, causing a bug in the entire advent ceremony from the root, and it got stuck directly.
And Li Mo finally seized this opportunity.
The magic flowed through his already battered body, circulating over and over again;
He forced himself to gather his exhausted spirits and focus on one point;
Li Mo did not simply accept the power from the nameless magic book blindly, but also continuously improved its power and effect through his own understanding.
From just using spells at first, to beginning to understand spells, and then to starting to creatively utilize the effectiveness of spells.
From the cursed flame scales to the flashing scales, he constantly pursued the essence of the spell, and what he finally developed after countless trials and tribulations was the power that shone at his fingertips at this moment—
"The combined spell of [Candle] and [Scale]..."
It was a transparent scale that looked like it was made of a gem, emitting a strange glow.
It is no longer the effect of putting two spells together like the Cursed Flame Scale, but a real, brand new "spell" created by Li Mo after understanding the essence and complementing the two.
"[琐]——!"
The dazzling bullet turned into a stream of light, easily penetrating the vitality shell wrapped in the evil god's fire and the constantly self-repairing ritual base, and directly hit the embryo of the evil god Clytia.
The next moment, a dark green fireball expanded in silence, and the embryo of the evil god Clitia turned into fuel for phosphorus.
Its surface trembled only slightly at first, as if a thin membrane was trying to contain the violence within.
Then, a dark crack appeared in the center, as if the universe had opened its eyes.
Then, silent explosions began.
What gushed out from the core was not flames, but a sticky substance like liquid light, spreading outward with a suffocating sense of oppression.
The dark green light twisted in the air, forming countless spiral lines, like some ancient rune burning in the void.
The shock wave of the explosion made no sound, but it made the surrounding air sticky, as if time itself was being torn apart.
