Chapter 106: The Magic Demon~The Strongest and Weakest Creatures

"Magic power...resonance." A buzzing sound broke out, and the cloud that was running away suddenly twisted violently. Then I saw the fog suddenly disappear and the child fell to the ground from the air. I walked over and lifted it up again. "It seems that you are not cooperative?"

"No, no! I just suddenly remembered that there was something urgent, so..."

"So you'd better shut up before I get angry." I directly interrupted the magician's childish defense. "Answer my question."

"What's the problem?" This little illusion demon was probably scared, or maybe he was deliberately angering me, but under my threatening look, he immediately replied: "Oh, do you talk about the limitations of transformation and whether you can copy the full strength of the target? I will say now. Our transformation ability is unlimited, and we can change into the creatures we want to change at will."

"Oh? There's really no limit?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't you become the actual existence of the image just now? You must know that he can exist in seconds. If you can perfectly copy his abilities, you will not be caught by me."

After hearing my words, the little guy replied with a look of dejection: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!"

“Didn’t you say there is no limit?”

"Yes, there is indeed no limit to transformation, but the effect after transformation is limited. If we transform completely according to our own will, then everything else can be imitated except for the ability to simulate the target's voice and appearance, so we generally do not use this arbitrary simulation method."

"Then you just now..."

"When we attacked you just now, we used another simulation method. I just said that we are illusion demons, and we are illusion demons that specifically devour your fear. But the power we devour is not your fear itself, but your own strength. Fear only plays a force channel in this process. As long as the enemy is afraid, the more energy we can absorb. Just like the group of people before. What they fear the most is a creature called the Vajra Mad Python, so we became that kind of python to attack them. Later, some of them were worried about whether this python would have super strong individuals, so we simply became stronger pythons to scare them. But then you appeared. The object of fear I read from your consciousness is the way I transformed before, but later I didn't know why your fear became weaker and weaker, and then I had no strength and could only be caught by you."

"Wait. You said that those snakes were also transformed by you before?"

"yes!"

"Then why don't you care about any snakes after they are killed? Also, since the snakes that were killed have changed, how could such a magic core appear?"

"Actually, this is related to our characteristics. The magic core is a real magic core, but our magic core itself does not have form, so what kind of magic core will be produced before we die. As for those who are killed, they are unlucky. We rarely have a few goals here, but we have too many people, so everyone decided to draw lots to decide who will go out. Those guys were originally their turn to go out to scare people, but who knows that their own skills are not as good as those people and were killed by others. This can only be blamed for their unluckyness."

"Stop it. I want to ask. Will the magic cores taken out of your bodies have the same effect as the magic cores of the creatures you have planned?"

"It is certain to have it. The only problem is that the effect is strong. For example, the magic core of a certain monster can increase your magic defense. If we become this kind of monster, how much magic resistance can be increased in the end depends on how much fear power we absorbed before being killed. If the absorbed part exceeds the strength of this creature itself, the magic cores we produce will even exceed those genuine magic cores, but if the absorbed amount is not enough, it will be worse than others. Basically, it is in this state."

I nodded. "You just said that you can absorb the power of fear from your opponent, which means that your own strength is actually basically equal to zero, right?"

The little guy nodded. "Although it can't be said to be zero, it can be considered that he has no attack power. Anyway, as long as the enemy is not afraid of us, we can basically not even beat a rabbit. But don't think we are easy to bully, at least we can also atomize. Except for people like you who have perverted skills, as long as we want to run, ordinary creatures really can't do anything to us. Besides, as long as we transform into the most feared existence in the other person's heart, they can generally scare the other person. As long as the other person is afraid of us at the beginning, they have strength, and the more he is afraid of us, the stronger we are. So we are strong when we meet the strong, the stronger we are."

"So can I understand that if you face a high god, as long as the other party is really afraid of you, you can even kill this god?"

The little guy replied with certainty: "Theoretically, yes. But the actual situation is that the stronger the guy is, the more confident it is. Confident people rarely have things that are afraid of. Even if there is, the degree of fear is very low, so in fact we are basically unlikely to kill a god. Of course, if you tell me an existence that can scare him to death in advance, then I will be 100% sure to kill this god."

I understand now. This little guy looks useless, but it is actually extremely terrifying. According to his statement, I have no choice but to be able to use the high god, but wouldn't I win every opportunity if I let him transform into a lower god like Ditans and others to scare ordinary minions?

After thinking for a moment, I suddenly asked the little guy: "Did your individual strength differ before?"

"No. We are all the same." After saying that, the little guy seemed to think of something suddenly, and then added: "But there is an alternative existence among us."

“Alternative?”

"Well, just like the assumption you mentioned before, this guy really absorbed the power of a inferior god. Although he was beaten to death later, he finally escaped and took away almost half of the power of the inferior god, so he is the strongest among us."

"So why do you say he is an alternative?"

"Because although he has powerful power, he has lost the ability to read the mind." The little guy said disdainfully: "The biggest advantage of our illusion demons is that we can ignore the level of our opponent and see what he is most afraid of. But this guy's skills are lost, so he has only strength but can't scare people."

"How could he lose this power?"

"Because he was sealed by that god. At that time, he forcibly snatched the power of that god, and then the god fought to his death and threw an automatic seal for him, automatically sealing one of his most important skills. As a result, the ability to read fear was sealed. Now that guy is basically a waste, and the illusion demon who cannot read fear is not a illusion demon."

"Is there a way to recover this damage?" I have already started to touch this guy's mind. Judging from the description of this little magic demon, these guys are still very practical, so I think it is completely worth consuming a magic pet position for them, but the question is whether this strongest individual can be used. If his ability can be restored, then charging one of the strongest individuals is of course much stronger than just pulling one.

The little guy thought for a while and said, "I don't know if there is another way, but I know that as long as the seal is broken or removed, it should be fine. After all, our illusion demon's ability is born, and his ability is just sealed. As long as there is no seal, it should be automatically restored!"

I nodded. The little guy said it was right, but it seemed that I would wait for me to see if I could lift the seal. I threw the little thing in my hand directly to the ground and said to him, "I will let you go today for your cooperation." The little guy suddenly turned around and ran away without even saying thank you. As a result, I caught me again before running two steps. He looked at me with a puzzled look and seemed to be asking me why I clearly said I wanted to let him go. "Although I plan to let you go, you have to help me do something."

When I heard that it wasn't that I changed my mind and just wanted him to do things, the little guy's expression immediately relaxed. "What's the matter? I'll do it as long as it's not something I can't do."

"I want you to take me to the alternative guy you mentioned."

"this……!"

"You have to hesitate for such a simple thing?" I thought it would be no big deal to lead a way! I didn't expect that this guy would look hesitant.

The little guy thought for a while before saying, "You know that guy can't read fear, but he can turn into something at will, so as long as he knows exactly what you fear, it can still scare people. And because he is different from us, he has a strong power, so even if he doesn't absorb your fear, he can hurt you, so..."

"So you are all afraid of him, because he is your kind of person who knows that as long as you are not afraid of you, you will not be defeated by you, but you can't do anything to him, right?"

"That's it. And that guy has become very withdrawn since he can't read fear. He also dug a hole for himself on the mountain over there and announced that anyone who enters his cave will be killed by him. So..."

"You don't have to go into the hole, take me to the entrance of the hole and you will complete the task."

"Then there is no problem. Anyway, it's not me who died." The little guy immediately agreed when he heard that he didn't have to go into the hole.

After putting away the demon pet and letting go of the other demons, I followed the little demon through the forest, and soon saw the cave where the alternative guy lived, but the situation here stunned me.
