Chapter 2750 The Demon Appears

As he spoke, Mr. Meloni took out a wide-mouth glass bottle, and the leaf-shaped flames in the bottle were burning:

"But you have to admit, it's a good source of fire."

Miss Denister took the bottle and examined it:

"So this is the trouble you are encountering. You can't deal with such cursed objects, right?"

The great elder, Mr. Davis, nodded:

"We have tried to use holy water, rituals to expel evil spirits, and ice sealing to deal with them, but all of them have no effect. As for destroying the tree directly, we are worried that this will cause other consequences. We have detected the There is a very high temperature in the heart of the tree. Forcibly destroying this cursed object may cause it to self-destruct.

So I hope you can help me and try to see if I can dispose of this thing safely and harmlessly. It’s the end of fall, the most vulnerable time of year for forest fires. "

"I'll give it a try."

Miss Danister said and was about to reach out, but was stopped by Shade:

"If you want to try, I'll try too."

"Be careful, direct contact with this tree and this deer can cause burn marks on yourself."

Mr. Meloni reminded him, but Shade still directly touched the tree trunk with his right hand. Almost as soon as the palm of his hand pressed against it, fine cracks appeared on the back of his right hand, and then crimson light radiated from the cracks.

The palm of his hand did not feel much pain. Shade raised his eyebrows and "she" whispered in his ear:

[This is a curse derived from some kind of cursed fire. Do not touch these burnt things for a long time. 】

Shade then let go of his hand, and the protective effect his body spontaneously produced, that is, the traces of "embers of the first fire" slowly disappeared on the back of his hand.

"I probably have some ideas, please move back."

Shade said to his companions again, so the two hermits immediately retreated, and the red-haired girl hid behind him and did not go far.

Shade then took a deep breath:

"Chloe's Ice Breath."

The cold air sprayed from the mouth even directly condensed ice crystals in the air, which caused the air to quickly atomize. The frost pounced directly on the immobile tree, and the surface of the tree itself and the burnt deer were immediately covered in white frost.

"When we tried to freeze it, Mr. Davis was the only one with the highest level, and the cold still had some effect, but be careful soon!"

Following Mr. Meloni's reminder, under the white frost, the orange-red fire on the charred tree trunks suddenly rose, and with a loud "bang", the blazing flames surrounding the big tree soared into the sky.

Fortunately, the rituals arranged around him were still in effect and did not let the dense sparks fall to other places. The explosive flames still broke through the ritual blockade, but nothing happened after they struck Shade.

"Something's wrong."

Mr. Davis reminded, and at the same time sent a signal to the camp to prepare for support:

"The last time I froze this tree, there was no such big movement."

The shaking ground made the four people look at their feet, but they soon understood that it was not the ground that was shaking at all, but that the tree deeply rooted here was trying to pull out all its roots.

The charred deer made a dizzying cry. As the flames surrounding them grew stronger, the thick burning roots were finally pulled out of the ground one by one. It seems to be aware of Shade's danger and wants to pull out its roots to give itself the ability to move, but this also means that this thing is not a complete plant, but also has the characteristics of an animal.

Mr. Davis, who had twelve rings, had already revealed his life ring and was about to take action, but Shade stopped him:

"Since this thing is afraid of my coldness, it means that my thaumaturgy is effective. Please let me come, Mr. Davis. I am afraid that there will be an explosion soon. Please make sure that the flames do not ignite the forest."

"no problem."

So the twelve-ring warlock cast a spell, and all the surrounding trees were activated into tree men and then retreated further away. This formed a large open space with dense holes in the forest.

The burning black giant tree was squirming and trying to pull out all its roots. At this time, it almost fully possessed the ability to move. But pulling up from the ground, in addition to the roots that were also burning, were the four charred hooves of the deer.

Shade told Miss Daniste not to come near, took off his coat and shirt and threw them to her, and then walked towards the tree with his upper body naked. He put his hand on his chest and pulled out a ball of golden light and then put it back on his chest to increase his fire resistance.

Then as he let out a low drink, his body gradually grew larger as he walked, until when he came to the tree, he had swelled into a four-meter-tall little giant.

Even if its roots are pulled out and it becomes a tree, its movement speed is quite slow. When Shade approaches, it can only let the flames surrounding its body form a fireball and rush towards Shade, but it is all extinguished by Shade's slap. .

Shade directly stretched out his hands to hug the trunk of the burning tree. Bright red cracks appeared on the backs of both hands, and then the cracks spread throughout his body until his naked upper body was covered with burn marks.

The fire that once swallowed the Phoenix, coupled with the resistance provided by the [Inner Fire] and the power of the first fire, even though the flames of the burning trees had fallen on his body, Shade still did not feel much burning pain.

"stand up!"

In his giant form, his arms bulged with muscles, and then with a "huh" sound, he helped the tree completely break away from the ground.

This scene was quite powerful, and Shade, who was hugging the burning tree, also threw the tree directly to the ground with a loud bang. The tree, which was already inconvenient to move, temporarily lost all its ability to move, and even the burning flames became a little weaker.

Then, Shade in giant form blew cold air at the roots of the tree.

Because this form was enhanced by spellcasting, the coldness was even more terrifying than before. In a flash, the flames at the roots of the tree were almost completely extinguished, and even the bottom third of the tree was covered with white frost.

Gaga gaga~

In the most vigorous flames at the top of the tree, several fire crows flew out of the fire. This burning flame itself has elements, so it is not an ordinary flame, but even if those fire crows hit Shade's naked back directly, they only left some black marks, which could not stop him from continuing to cast spells and spit out coldness.

He maintained this state, holding the bottom of the tree in the raging fire and continuing to cast spells until the frost completely covered the entire tree. So after the white frost extinguished the flames, the continuous coldness continued to suppress the few sparks on the charred trees and deer, and after all the sparks were extinguished, the coldness continued to affect the high temperature inside the trees.

With a rustling sound, the frozen charred trees finally broke inch by inch, and the struggling deer finally stopped being active.

This lasted for five minutes, and the trees and deer were scattered on the ground into a pile of black ashes, and only a small piece of smoldering black wood was left in Shade's hand.

Even if the cold air was used to spray the wood, the nearly transparent flames would not be affected. This was the cursed core of the tree, and it was also the hottest part of the tree that the hermits felt.

If the tree was destroyed by other forces instead of cold air, the wood would probably explode directly, and then ignite the entire forest.

"It's OK."

Shad's body also returned to its normal size. The red-haired girl holding his clothes and the two hermits hurried over:

"Is this wood the core?"

"Yes."

Shad lifted the wood with his right hand and let it fly up, while Miss Danister helped him put on his shirt again.

Shad frowned and continued to look at the black thing. He hadn't felt it when he was facing the burning tree just now, but when he touched the core of the tree directly, he clearly felt a very familiar force:

"Vision Demon!"

As his eyes blinked, the originally nearly transparent and colorless flame immediately turned black.

"One thing after another, the Bronte incident has just ended, and the devil appears again."

After putting on his clothes, Shade thought to himself, and he did not hide this information:

"The curse comes from the devil."

The two hermits were stunned:

"What devil?"

"Ancient evil spirit devil."

He said softly, and took out a bottle of holy water from his pocket, drew out the holy water and then wrapped it around the smoldering wood, and hissing black smoke immediately came out:

"Chloe's icy breath."

The cold air was exhaled again, and then the holy water wrapped around the wood froze. The holy water ice was constantly melted by the wood, but as Shade used more and more holy water, in the end, although the wood was still burning, the ice still completely wrapped it.

Shade grabbed the ice again and confirmed that it was okay to seal it in this way for a short period of time:

"My eyes can't be wrong. This is a monster created by the power of the devil. The question now is, where did this devil come from? Which devil is this?"

As a place where anything can appear, evil spirits and demons have certainly appeared in history. When Shade and Miss Danister visited the cemetery of the Bennet family together, they sensed a little bit of demonic power from the bones of the Bennet family ancestors. Miss Danister talked about the local demons at that time.

That was three hundred years ago, but according to reliable records, the demon that appeared in the local area at that time had been sealed by the thirteenth-ring warlock "Forest Hunter" of the Natural Church of that time using an angel-level relic, and the demon is still contained in the Church of the Natural Church.

Therefore, whether the demonic power that appeared again this time is the remnant of the demon three hundred years ago, or whether the ancient evil spirit has appeared again in the local area after three hundred years, this is the first thing that should be determined.
