At the end of the energy center, there is a six-meter-tall giant monster guarding the last seal.

The name of that monster was Ergal, and he belonged to the same race as the Devourer that Beidou had fought at the source of the black fog. But the difference was that Ergal was much stronger than that Devourer.

The Devourer of the Black Mist can be forcibly killed by using damage-related abnormal states, but this cannot be done with Ergal, as this method is ineffective against him.

Alechino and his four companions arrived at Ergal's territory and spotted the enormous monster at a glance.

Looking at this monster, Sandonie rubbed his eyes and said, "I thought it was something else at the end, but it turned out to be a Devourer?"

"The Devouring Demon is indeed quite powerful, but he shouldn't be able to become the gatekeeper here, right?" Xier treated herself and her complexion looked much better now.

Gulab explained: "Everyone, don't take it lightly. The Devourer you are facing is called Ergal. It should be the most powerful existence in the Devourer clan. It is incomparable with the previous one."

"Well, Gulab, can you read its abilities?" Behind Pal, the shadow of the World Tree was shining, ready to go.

She had been accumulating energy for a long time, and wanted to defeat this last enemy in one fell swoop, but she didn't want her precious output to be wasted because of some unknown things.

Gulab did not disappoint her and immediately said, "Of course, Ergal is very different from ordinary Devourers. The one you saw before is basically of no reference value.

What you need to pay attention to is to never get too close to it. Ergal loves to prey on enemies. Once you stand in front of it and get preyed on, you are basically doomed to die. Predation will also bring it a very powerful healing effect.

Lord Saphir's healing prayer cannot even match this in terms of the amount of recovery per shot."

"Oh, that's bad," Safire said immediately.

If the amount of healing she now receives from Healing Prayer is digitized in the game, one mouthful can heal over 300,000 people. Such data is actually not as good as Ergal's own healing ability. You can imagine how perverted this predator is.

Gulab continued, "Also, the biggest difference between Ergal and other Devourers is their stomachs. Ordinary Devourers have a vertical mouth on their stomachs, but Ergal has a vertical eye.

This eye can also prey on enemies, and there is no distance limit. Basically, as long as the power of the eye is activated and the enemy's line of sight meets its will, they will be preyed on instantly.

This ability is not often used, and it is only used when it is seriously injured.

The effect of this predation is to instantly heal all of its own injuries. I think you don't need me to explain the meaning of this sentence here.

My opinion is that when it uses this ability, you should just go behind it, that's the safest way."

Alechino frowned. She could also heal herself through some of her own methods. Many times she used this ability to trick the enemy. Now when she met a similar opponent, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

For some abilities, you may not notice the effects when you use them yourself, but if the enemy has similar abilities, you can intuitively feel the disgusting nature of this ability.

Safir has a deep understanding of this point, after all, she has been defeated by her own deck.

“Finally, although Ergal is not absolutely invincible, I still don’t recommend that you use all your strength. Under normal conditions, its skin can absorb most of the impact and also prevent the influence of harmful abnormal conditions.

So we have to find a way to make it faint. Only then will its skin relax, and the output will be effective.

Of course, it is also possible to take an unconventional approach, that is, when Ergal is hunting at close range, he will be briefly relaxed, and you can attack at that time. "Gulab said a lot of information.

After Alecino and his companions digested the information, they prepared to deal with Ergal.

"Pal, since you also have the blessing of Aurora's wind, you should also have the invincible skill, right?" Alechino suddenly spoke.

Pal nodded. She did have that skill.

After receiving Pal's affirmation, Alechino had a plan in mind: "In that case, you can use your invincibility skill to trick it into hunting, is that okay?"

"Oh, I understand what you mean. Leave the first wave to me." Pal nodded immediately and rushed towards Ergal.

Ergal saw Pal rushing towards him the first time. Without saying a word, he opened his arms and hugged Pal. This was his hunting action. Once Pal was hugged, he would die immediately.

But how could Pal make such a low-level mistake? In the instant before Ergal's arms approached her, the shadow of the miniature World Tree behind her suddenly solidified, and Pal herself stood on the top of the World Tree, entering an invincible state.

Ergal stretched out his hand to catch food but missed it, and three question marks immediately popped up in his head.

Pal chuckled and pressed down with his right palm. The various fruits on the World Tree instantly bombarded Ergal, who was still in a daze.

Flames, ice crystals, hurricanes, vines...all kinds of attacks came down in an instant, making Ergal miserable.

As soon as the bombing ended, Pal immediately raised his hand and detonated the phantom of the World Tree.

Unfortunately, this move with the highest damage had almost no effect because Ergal had just come to his senses and hit its already tense skin.

Pal noticed this and frowned, somewhat unwillingly: "If only it could be faster!"

"It's okay, it's a good start." Alechino said to comfort her.

Pal had actually dealt enough damage, because the moment Ergal reacted, the eyes on his stomach began to emit a dazzling light.

Everyone knew that this was a long-distance hunt, so they stopped hesitating and got behind Ergal as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Ergal seemed to be very clumsy. When hunting from a long distance, he actually froze in place and had no intention of chasing everyone for prey.

The result is predictable: it failed to hunt and was unable to heal its wounds.

"Everyone, I have received a new piece of information." Gulab's voice sounded again.

Arlecchino immediately replied: "Speak."

"After suffering a certain number of attacks, Ergal will become angry. The angry Ergal will lose his judgment of the situation and start to crash into the enemy recklessly. As long as you avoid his impact and let him crash into the surrounding rock wall, he will fall into a long coma." Gulab told the new information he had obtained.

This information of his made the eyes of several people who were fighting with Ergal light up at the same time, and they all turned into idea kings.

The first to act was naturally Xier. Her eyes flashed with golden light, and the Word Spirit·Kamaitachi was operating at its peak in an instant.

Gradually, the invisible wind demon revealed its entity amid the howling wind, and blood-colored bonds began to appear in front of everyone's eyes. The bonds became clearer and clearer, and the image of the wind demon became more and more concrete.

The Word Spirit·Kamaitachi advanced to the Word Spirit·Vampiric Scythe.

If the sickle-weasel was only born to collect information and had no attack power, then the vampire sickle was born purely for fighting. Swarms of blood bats covered the sky, like a swarm of locusts, and rushed towards Ergal with a fearless spirit.

"What a terrifying attack! Xier actually has such power?" Ying was stunned. She put herself into Ergal's perspective and immediately rubbed the goose bumps on her forearms and shook her head vigorously.

Are you kidding? An elephant can be killed by ants. With so many blood bats rushing forward, the person who is being attacked may not even have a piece of skin left on his body.

This is still a conservative statement. The reality is, once you are attacked by these little creatures, be prepared to be ground to dust. Even your bones will be eaten clean.

Ergal was also unable to deal with Xier's blood-sucking sickle. He waved his arms in panic, trying to drive away the little creatures that were annoying him in a disorderly manner.

Sandonie frowned as he watched all this, thought for a moment, and suddenly summoned four ruins guards: "It seems that this is not enough, so I'll add more fuel to the fire."

The four ruins guards rushed forward and started the windmill to plow the land together. They rotated their upper bodies and began to whip Ergal with their arms like long whips.

At this moment, Ergal, who was struggling to hold on, looked like a newbie who had accidentally entered Guyun Pavilion, disturbed Guyun Pavilion F4, and got beaten up.

But he was not a newbie after all, so although he looked embarrassed, he did not suffer any substantial harm.

Neither the blood-sucking sickle nor the ruins guard, their attacks left any mark on Ergal.

However, Xier and the others had no intention of using this trick to kill Ergal. What they wanted was just this extremely high attack frequency.

As long as the attack frequency is fast enough, Ergal will be quickly enraged, and then it will be its death.

Soon, Ergal became enraged. It suddenly roared, stomped the ground hard, and made a gesture to charge towards several people not far away.

"Egal's charge carries a powerful shock wave, which can be avoided by jumping." Gulab's reminders always sounded at the right time.

Arlechino and his group immediately flew into the air to avoid the shockwave from Ergal's feet. Why jump when you can fly? It doesn't make sense.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ergal crashed heavily into the rock wall at the end, then he saw stars and fell into a coma.

At this moment, without Gulab's reminder, Alecino rushed straight forward.

It was still the axe surrounded by flames, and it was still the cruel means that spared no effort.

The upside-down wooden cross was placed on Ergal's body, and a raging fire began to burn, roasting Ergal's rock-hard body and making it crackle.

Xier was not far behind. Jun Yan cooperated with Jian Yu and shot Ergal into a hedgehog.

Sandoni and Pal did not take action because there was no need.

The output capabilities of Alecino and Xier are top-notch. Even without using the abilities granted by Saphir, Sandone is no match for Alecino, let alone Alecino who has completely exploded now?

Sandone didn't want to go up to him and humiliate himself.

As for Pal, she simply doesn't like to do things.

Soon, Ergal turned into charcoal and died completely.

Along with its death, the protective shield above the energy core also disappeared.

When the protective shield disappeared, the energy core was exposed. In front of these four people, there was naturally no possibility for the energy core to continue to exist.

"boom!"

The last seal was finally unlocked, and Saphir stretched his body: "It's almost over... It's such a long battle."

Rimuru stood beside her with a gentle smile on his face: "Are you the type to feel sad before the final battle?"

"No. But as for the decisive battle, it's not time yet. The inside of the black volcano is not that safe either. We'd better be vigilant." Saphir shook his head and walked inside.

Rimuru shrugged and followed quickly, shouting as he walked: "Hey, Saphir-chan, let's discuss it. How about letting me swallow the Tartan king? This way you can also get all the information in his mind. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

"Since he is the king, he has the dignity that belongs to a king. I have no grudge against him, so why should I take such radical measures? I should give him some face." Saphir disagreed with Rimuru's idea and declined.

Rimuru was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought of the various opponents he encountered in his own world. He had indeed been attacked many times, but the number of times he actually killed the opponents was very few.

He became the awakened Demon King simply because the other party killed a group of his subordinates led by Shion, so he slaughtered an army of 100,000 in rage.

Deep down, he was kind, but as a monster, he couldn't always maintain that pure kindness.

“But being kind doesn’t mean being a pushover. Are you really willing to give up such a good opportunity?” Rimuru asked, still reluctant to give up.

Saphir paused, and after a long silence, he spoke: "Of course I am unwilling to accept this. The news of Shadow Prison's participation in the war is like a thorn in my heart. I am very eager to know the specific situation.

But... I am also very clear that this matter can't bring me any benefit at all now. Even after so much time has passed, I don't even know if this information is still valuable.

But I founded Shadow Prison, and I have an obligation to understand the inside story of every member’s demise.”

She learned about Shadow Prison's deaths in the Battle of the Sea of ​​Dusk later, and when she wanted to investigate, Antoine was already dead.

Not only Antun, but even the person in charge of the Battle of the Sea of ​​Dusk and the supreme commander of the Celestial Legion, Hawkeye Jacket, also died in the subsequent battle in the Celestial Realm.

The captain of the coast guard and the commander of the vanguard regiment at the time, Helen Clough, was also not spared.

This matter is over.

At that time, Safir felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but the person who knew the inside story died, the clue was lost, and she could not continue the investigation.

Thinking about the past, the two gradually went deeper into the black volcano, and the frequency of communication slowed down.

There is no time to chat now. We must concentrate on facing the attacks that may occur at any time.
