Chapter 4240 Summoning Demons
There is no specific activation order for the nine points; the only rule is that the gold points should be activated last.
The remaining eight points can be freely chosen to be activated first, but all points must be activated before the Cruel Scholar's divine sense is fully restored.
They originally planned to each select their own positions and then attack together.
But after some discussion, it was decided that Gabriel and the bunny girl would start the challenge first.
The main purpose is to set an example.
Test the approximate difficulty of the challenge and whether the challenge content is related to the fundamental theorems in aperture.
Gabriel's first challenge was to select the outermost black mist halo.
The fundamental theorem that was first discovered is placed in this aperture: "The Origin of Species".
Gabriel retrieved the printed proverb from the text bar, then used his talismans to slowly roll up the page of the proverb and walk towards the circle of light.
"Wait a minute," Angel suddenly said.
Gabriel paused, then looked back in confusion.
Angor gently reached out his hand, and a ball of light with a faint green hue merged into the illusion puppet held by Gabriel.
Gabriel: "This is..."
“Nightmare Node,” Angel said calmly.
Gabriel was puzzled. Didn't Angor leave a Nightmare Node before?
Angel: "Unlike the previous nodes, you can use this as a backup plan. If your opponent is too difficult, activate the node in the illusion doll, and it will help you break through the encirclement."
Angel had previously left many Nightmare Nodes for Gabriel, Gray Porcelain, and the Rabbit Girl, but those were all free nodes, which could be freely changed according to their wishes.
However, the illusion nodes left by Angor this time contain Angor's will.
Whether it's Gabriel, Gray Porcelain, or even the Rabbit Girl, they cannot fully exert their influence when controlling the Nightmare Node, especially the Nightmare Realm Aura within the node, which is utilized at a rate of less than one percent.
Therefore, even though the Nightmare Node contains the three most basic powers of the Dream Crystal Origin, they cannot be used perfectly.
The Nightmare Node left behind by Angor contains his will, which can be understood as a pre-set trigger program.
Once triggered, it can either defend or attack.
At this point, the utilization rate of the Nightmare Node will reach 100%.
In a sense, this can be considered Angell helping to unleash the Nightmare Illusion Technique. Although it sacrificed freedom, the utilization rate reached 100%, and the power naturally increased significantly.
Gabriel nodded knowingly. "I understand. Is this a guarantee for me? Thank you, sir, but I probably won't need it."
Gabriel was very confident.
Angor was also confident in Gabriel's combat strength, especially since Gabriel possessed the "Word of Darkness." If given time for the Word of Darkness to take effect, he might even be able to put up a fight against the divine will of a demon god.
But some battles don't give you time to prepare.
and……
What should Gabriel do if he encounters a "mechanically challenged" character?
In short, the Nightmare Node is a safety net to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
Gabriel touched the green-glowing illusion doll, said nothing more, and turned to walk into the circle of light shrouded in black mist.
The moment it entered the aperture, the maxim it held in its hand suddenly emitted bright light and slowly floated to the top of Gabriel's head.
Although the light it emitted was not intense, it did disperse some of the black mist surrounding Gabriel.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot from the floating page in the very center of the hall toward the dome in mid-air. The light flowed along the dome and reached the top of the halo corresponding to Gabriel.
An intricate array was projected onto it.
The sun, moon, and stars form the core of the formation, surrounded by various flowing lines and geometric patterns.
If there are no surprises, this is one of the formations corresponding to the nine nodes of the sealing array.
However, at this moment, the formation at this node appears and disappears intermittently, and the lines are dotted, indicating instability.
Many speculate that the full form will only be revealed after the challenge is successfully completed.
"Gabriel: A message in the text box reminds me that it's time to start the challenge."
"Angel, Rabbit Hole Commander: Keep it up!"
"Gray Porcelain: Although you failed, I probably won't have to challenge you anymore... but I hope you won't fail."
Gabriel: Don't worry! If I really fail the challenge, I'll just curse the Demon God's mind and condemn him to eternal damnation in the Abyss of Dreams!
"Angol: ???"
According to Gabriel's prophetic words, eternal damnation into the Abyss of Dreams is possible. But if the Dream Crystal Plains are also there, that would also be considered eternal damnation into the Abyss of Dreams!
With Angell filled with worry, Gabriel pressed "Start Challenge" in the text box.
next second.
Gabriel's figure was slowly obscured by the black mist.
Only the proverbs floating in mid-air still emit a faint light.
At the same time, the floating page in the center of the hall suddenly projected a huge, luminous disc into the sky. The disc was composed of transparent lines, and nine halos were clearly recorded within it. Five outer halos, three inner halos, and the halo at the center were all displayed.
It perfectly corresponds to the nine apertures on the ground, even the colors are the same.
Meanwhile, within the black halo surrounding the circular disc of light, which corresponded precisely to Gabriel's position, light spots began to slowly flash, projecting a shadow.
The content of the film is precisely the challenge that Gabriel is facing at this moment!
……
After Gabriel clicked "Start Challenge," he immediately felt a noticeable loss of weight.
This feeling of weightlessness was similar to the Book Demon Challenge, like suddenly sinking into water, with a slight feeling of suffocation. But soon, the surrounding air returned to normal.
When Gabriel looked around again, he found himself in a familiar, pure white space.
The Book Demon Challenge also takes place in a pure white space. Does this mean that this challenge will also involve fighting the Book Demon?
With a sense of doubt, Gabriel looked at the opposite side of the pure white space.
Suddenly, a faint light flickered on a white floor, and a figure slowly rose from below. When Gabriel saw the figure's true form, he was stunned.
An elegant female demon, her entire body covered in blood, slowly makes her entrance.
She even has an animated appearance.
She sat on a "chair" made up of three bone-winged demons, and made her entrance with her back to them. The chair only turned around slightly the moment she was fully on the ground.
She crossed her legs, her blood-red skin smooth and supple, glossy and supple.
She was completely naked except for a school swimsuit made of bones, which barely covered her impressive curves.
She had a black, upturned devil horn on her head, and a long, thin devil tail like a rat's tail behind her, with a blooming blood-red flower at the tip.
The moment the chair turned around and she saw Gabriel, she revealed a charming smile, and then gracefully stood up in an "S" shape.
The long whip that had been held together in his hands fell naturally to the ground.
Snapped--
With a light flick of her whip, a crackling sound filled the air, and at the same time, the white bone chair behind her vanished like wisps of smoke...
Gabriel waited silently for the "entrance animation" to end.
It's called an "entrance animation" because the moment this abyssal demon appeared, Gabriel was already preparing to launch an attack. However, she found herself unable to move.
It glanced at the text bar and saw a message displayed: "The battle has not yet begun."
The countdown to the start of the battle only appeared in the text bar when her "entrance animation" ended and the long whip cracked.
"3", "2", "1"!
The moment the "1" ended, Gabriel instantly released three extremely fast tentacles towards the opponent, like three sharp arrows, locking onto her brow, heart, and the unprotected navel of the white bone school swimsuit.
The speed of the Touch Arrow is extremely fast; if the opponent is a Book Demon, they might not be able to react at all.
But the female demon wielding the long whip let out a series of clear and alluring laughs.
Then, with a flick of the whip, it deflected all three tentacles at an extremely sharp angle.
Gabriel hadn't expected to succeed so easily. Although the tentacles were deflected, they had embedded themselves deep into the floor. Using the force from the tips of the tentacles in the floor, Gabriel's enormous "sea urchin" body, like a menacing black missile, hurtled towards the female demon at an even faster speed than the tentacles had been.
If the female demon were to be directly hit by Gabriel's body, she would definitely be severely injured, but the female demon opposite her let out another silvery laugh.
This time, instead of wielding the whip, she slowly pulled it up from where it was hanging down.
A sudden burst of light emanated from the pure white floor where the whip had fallen.
The tip of the whip was like a fishing hook, forcefully pulling out a three-meter-tall bone-winged demon from beneath the pure white floor.
This winged demon directly blocked the cannonball that Gabriel had transformed into.
The Bonewing Demon was already the lowest-ranking demon in the abyss. Under this cannonball, all the bones in its body were shattered, and it almost instantly lost its threat.
However, it also had a relative impact on Gabriel.
Gabriel was knocked into the air by the opponent's "hard bone," but fortunately, as a "flying creature," Gabriel quickly regained his footing in mid-air.
In those few short seconds, the female demon's whip landed repeatedly, and the six floor tiles emitted a distinct white light.
From the first five floor tiles, the whip pulled out five small demons. There were three UFO-like small demons that looked like will-o'-the-wisps, and two horrific demons that looked very similar to humans but had exposed muscles all over their bodies.
Like the Bonewing Demon, the UFO and the Terror Demon are all lesser demons, belonging to the lowest level of the Abyss and are not very powerful.
Gabriel wasn't afraid; even if there were five of them, it was confident it could easily crush them.
However, the last spot flashing white light, where the female demon's whip had failed to lure out the "mysterious creature," was what Gabriel feared.
Even before the opponent showed up, their terrifying aura had already created waves of energy on the field.
Her summons must be stopped!
Without hesitation, Gabriel extended hundreds of tentacles outward, each tipped with a glowing illusion node. With a thought, these illusion nodes transformed into pure white arrows.
Hundreds of phantom bows simultaneously fired phantom arrows, and in an instant, arrows rained down.
Their target was the female demon, and they attempted to interrupt her summoning.
Seeing this, the five lesser demons rushed towards the female demon, seemingly wanting to shield her from the illusory arrows. However, Gabriel wouldn't give them the chance, unleashing several volleys of arrows that pierced their hearts.
The five little demons that had just been summoned died instantly.
But at the very moment they died, the female demon suddenly gave a wicked smile.
Gabriel was stunned.
The six demon corpses on the ground, including the UFO, the Terror Demon, and the previous Bone-Winged Demon, all emitted a bright and dazzling white light.
The white light absorbed their flesh and then surged into the female demon's whip.
The whip, now glowing white, seemed to have divine assistance, and the "mysterious creature" that had been impossible to pull out before was forcibly ripped out.
It finally appeared the moment the white floor stopped shining.
The moment it appeared, a powerful shockwave was even visible to the naked eye.
Amidst the interplay of wind and dust, a gigantic "porcupine" appeared before the female demon.
A look of shock flashed in Gabriel's eyes: "This is..."
……
"This is Daoqiong Mojie."
Inside the main hall, Angor and the others also witnessed Gabriel's battle.
In less than a minute, the pace of the battle changed dramatically. Six lesser demons sacrificed themselves to summon a gigantic, jet-black porcupine.
"Dow Jones Demon Lord?" A look of doubt flashed in Gray Porcelain's eyes: "What is this?"
“Daujama is its name, and it is also a kind of abyssal demon.” Angor’s eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity: “Its reputation is not well-known in the abyss, but in the Northern Territory’s culinary world, it is known as an exquisite delicacy.”
"Exquisite delicacies?" Gray Porcelain was taken aback: "Food?"
Angel nodded: "It is said that the hind leg meat of Dow Jones is very delicious and is a dream ingredient for gourmet wizards."
Upon hearing that it was food, Gray Porcelain's worried expression relaxed slightly. In its view, a creature that could be used as food probably wasn't too strong.
Angell seemed to see through Gray Porcelain's thoughts and slowly said, "For some crazy gourmet wizards, legendary life forms can also be a delicious meal on their plates."
A legendary life? Meal on a plate?
Both the gray porcelain girl and the rabbit girl were startled and looked at Angel in disbelief.
Angel shrugged: "A gourmet wizard I know once dreamed of cooking with legendary ingredients."
"Indeed...it's crazy," the rabbit girl sighed softly.
The gray porcelain nodded vigorously.
Angell: "But none of that is relevant now. The reason I brought this up is because we shouldn't think that just because it's an ingredient, it's not powerful."
“Dougall is not a minor demon; it is a demon in its normal state.” Angor: “Once it reaches adulthood, Dougall will inevitably become a formal wizard-level being.”
"A formal wizard level?!" Gray Porcelain immediately showed great respect.
It's important to know that there isn't a single "Wizard-level" being in Dream Crystal at present!
—Of course, there are those who can unleash wizard-level combat power.
But Gabriel is definitely not included.
If the "porcupine" Gabriel is facing is a wizard-level being, then there is absolutely no way to win except by using "curses".
However, that's not the main point.
Gray Porcelain thought of itself.
If the challenges at the black dot are like this, then won't it have to face wizard-level opponents later on?
As Gray Porcelain trembled, Angel whispered, "However, judging from the size of this Dorian Demon, it's clearly not an adult..."
In other words, he is not yet at the wizard level.
Gabriel might have some trouble dealing with non-wizard-level enemies, but he would never be forced to use his trump cards.
Compared to Domino, Angel was actually more curious about the female demon.
If nothing unexpected happens, this female demon should be... a Blood Fragrance Succubus.
But when did the Blood Fragrance Succubus start using summoning?
