Chapter 4245 Half-Demon
Chapter 4245 Half-Demon
After listening to the rabbit girl's analysis, Angell suddenly realized something... because he knew about the purple-toned moments in the Savage Realm.
Whether it's the "Record of Plane Conquest" published regularly by the Frostmoon Alliance, or the space wizard Fei Wenda, who sparked a pan-plane travel craze with his travelogues and was known as "The Traveler," both have vividly depicted this wonder in their representative work, "Space Travel."
Ingres even remembered the description of the "purple hour" in *Space Instant*—
"When the morning star pierces the night fog, the sky of the Wilderness will lose its darkness and spread a layer of translucent purple halo, as if someone has crushed a whole piece of condensed purple gemstone into light dust and splashed it across the sky."
"The purple was neither too intense nor too vibrant, carrying the clarity of the early morning. Even the floating clouds were tinged with pale purple cotton wool, and the wind seemed to carry tiny purple tails as it blew by. It was so beautiful that people forgot to breathe, feeling as if they had fallen into a dream world sculpted from gemstones."
It was precisely because of Favier's description that many wizards who love beautiful scenery were willing to go to the Wildlands to take photos and commemorate the purple moment.
And this iconic moment of purple hues was something Ingres had completely overlooked.
Not right either.
It wasn't that he ignored it; rather, he simply didn't connect the pale purple sky before him with the description in the book.
The reason is still the same: many things are hard to leave a deep impression on your mind if you haven't seen them with your own eyes.
Thankfully, there's the bunny girl.
Angel returned to Lady Huoluo's side, and under her probing gaze, declared loudly, "This cage space replicates the dawn scene of the Wilderness Realm."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Ms. Huoluo's eyes, then she nodded: "Correct answer."
As she spoke, the red earth, yellow plants, and pale purple sky before her suddenly vanished, and the coiled supernatural python also disappeared as specks of light.
The text box also pops up a prompt when appropriate:
"Successfully identified the Wilderness Realm"
Current progress: 1/12
Angel breathed a sigh of relief and contacted the rabbit girl again: "Thanks, thanks to you, I've passed the first question."
The rabbit girl raised her head proudly: "Leave the rest of the questions to me, I can't wait."
Angel chuckled softly, "Alright."
Soon, Ms. Huo Luo opened the second cage space.
In an instant, the pitch-black space was filled with orange-red flames. The ground trembled violently, and the scorched black earth, carrying scalding heat, surged wildly upwards. As soon as it took shape, it cracked open with spiderweb-like fissures, and crimson magma gushed out along the cracks, forming a winding river of fire on the ground.
The scorched earth nearby collapsed, flames surged upwards, and within seconds a huge lava lake with a diameter of tens of meters was formed.
Thick magma surged and boiled in the lake, spewing wisps of white smoke as bubbles burst.
Thick, grayish-white steam billowed from the lake, completely obscuring the surrounding mountains and making it difficult to discern the undulating terrain nearby.
In the churning lava lake, a demon with wings on its back and flames all over its body seemed to be using the lava lake as a bathing pool, constantly stirring up the sticky orange-red lava.
The fire demon also had more than a dozen fiery red worms, each no bigger than the palm of your hand, helping to clean up the demon's shed skin flakes.
When the fire demon turned to look at Angor, it revealed the same malicious look in its eyes as the python had before.
If nothing unexpected happens, this fire demon should be the "pet" of this cage space.
When Angel saw the scene before him, his first thought was that this place was a replica of... the Abyss.
After all, even demons have appeared.
However, Angor felt something was amiss. During his time running a shop in Rasudran, he had seen all sorts of fire demons, including noble fire demons.
I've never seen a fire demon like this before!
Its entire body was orange-red, every part of it was burning, and flames surrounded it like a ring of fire.
Angel thought for a moment and decided not to call out "Abyss" on his own, for fear of making a mistake... This question should be left to the professionals.
The rabbit girl looked at the scorched earth, thick fog, and lava lake before her, seemingly bewildered.
His brows even furrowed.
"Is there some difficulty?" Angell asked, puzzled.
The rabbit girl paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure you don't know her?"
Angell paused for a moment, seemingly realizing something.
Does the bunny girl think she should get to know him?
Angell suddenly realized, "So this really is the Abyss? I saw the demon just now and was thinking of recognizing it. But I was afraid of being wrong, so I came to you to confirm."
Rabbit Girl: "???"
"What are you talking about? This isn't the abyss!"
Angel was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
The rabbit girl realized that Angell genuinely didn't know, and sighed helplessly, "This isn't the abyss at all; this is the path you came from!"
The way we came from?
Angel hesitated for a moment: "You mean... the Southern Region?"
The rabbit girl didn't answer immediately, but said quietly, "You can't just look at the demon; you have to recognize the worms on its body."
“That’s a Flamefoot Worm.” Angor: “I’ve seen its illustration in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but these magical worms can be found in many places. I remember seeing them in the Abyss.”
Rabbit Girl: "Yes, there are indeed fire-footed worms in many worlds, but the same species can appear in different forms depending on the local environment."
"Therefore, fire-footed crickets from different places will look different, do you understand?"
Angell understood.
In Jon's words, "Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges."
“And these Flame-Footed Insects clearly look like those from the Southern Region, so this is your hometown…” The rabbit girl said with a hint of sighing at the end.
"As for the fire demon, it's not a real demon. It's most likely a fire elemental life form that just looks like a demon. Just like Dangross, it looks like a human hand, but it's actually a fire elemental life form."
Angell felt ashamed at that moment.
He came from the Southern Region, yet he didn't recognize the scenery there...
No wonder the rabbit girl looked confused just now. It wasn't that she didn't recognize him, but rather that she was surprised and doubtful that Angel could ask such a question.
Angell admitted somewhat awkwardly, "...I was just ignorant."
Even the scenes in his homeland in the south failed to capture the "core clues." After this, Angell once again confirmed that he was indeed not suited for this type of question.
Angell looked up at Lady Huoluo and gave the answer: "This is the Southern Wizarding World."
Ms. Huoluo nodded approvingly: "Correct answer."
After dissipating the southern scene, Ms. Huoluo quickly constructed a third scene.
This time, Angel simply cleared his mind and didn't bother to think, directly synchronizing the scene with the rabbit girl.
“This is a Shifting Plane.” The moment the rabbit girl gave her answer, Angor also spoke up.
Ms. Huoluo looked surprised, seemingly not expecting Angel to answer so quickly: "Correct answer."
Angel gestured, urging Ms. Huoluo to hurry up and move on to the next one.
Ms. Huoluo wasn't annoyed; she simply waved her hand, and a new scene appeared.
The following scenes include the Abyss Plane, the Netherworld Plane, the World of Rhyme, and the Realm of Law...
The rabbit girl always answered fluently and could even state the core evidence she used to prove her points, and the core evidence was different in each world.
Some core evidence is celestial phenomena, some is biological evidence, and some is symbols of civilization... From the rabbit girl's answer, it can be seen that this kind of test really tests one's knowledge.
It is worth mentioning that Angell also recognized a world.
—The Mirror Realm of Daylight.
Yes, Ms. Huoluo's questions actually included the Mirror of Day.
Although what is presented is only a mirror space, it is generally difficult to recognize, since the mirror space is a slice of the world's reflection and can present various landscapes; but fortunately... Angor saw an Ancient Tooth Fairy and immediately confirmed that this was the Mirror Realm of Daylight.
Of course, it's also possible that it's not "luck," and perhaps the Tooth Fairy itself is the core clue to this mystery.
In short, after answering the question, Angell felt that he wasn't completely useless... probably.
"Successfully identified the desolate dimension"
Current progress: 12/12
When the 12th scene was also quickly identified, Ms. Huoluo's expression went from surprise and astonishment to numbness.
All correct, and extremely fast; the twelve scenes were completed in less than seven minutes.
This was beyond Ms. Huoluo's comprehension. In the end, she could only exclaim, "Congratulations, you have passed the test. The scholar will surely be proud of you..."
Before she could finish telling the "background story," Ms. Huoluo and the upside-down arena turned into a speck of light and disappeared.
Then, the entire dark space turned into fragments of light, which drifted upwards and disappeared.
When Angor stood up again, he had already arrived at the main hall outside.
The white aura that Angell had challenged had changed its appearance, emitting intense light and revealing a huge humanoid phantom.
The humanoid figure appeared to be a man wearing a cloak, kneeling with his hands clasped together, praying devoutly.
The cloak also bears the emblem of the "Cruel Scholar".
Without a doubt, this is a follower of the cruel scholar.
At this moment, the enormous humanoid phantom clasped its hands in prayer towards the central cocoon of light. Although he couldn't hear what it was saying, Angor saw a line of text floating above the phantom's head that lingered for a long time:
"I anchored the sickle in order to imitate His penetrating legacy."
This was the proverb he was holding at the time.
So, does this mean that once a test is passed, the proverb will transform into a follower of the cruel scholar?
Is this part of the ritual?
Angel wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but after observing for a while, he realized that the phantom was indeed just praying devoutly, and he didn't bother to investigate further.
His gaze fell on the floating page in the very center of the hall.
To be precise, it's a shimmering disc above the paper.
At this point, the Flowing Light Disc had completely transformed into a "three-person live broadcast on the same screen".
Yes, there are three live stream rooms, and that doesn't include Angell, whose live stream just ended.
This means... gray porcelain has also entered the market.
When Angell said goodbye to the gray porcelain and entered the white light circle, he also gave it some mental preparation, telling it not to be afraid. After all, it was only going to challenge one, so it would have more time than others, and could even wait a while before challenging another one.
But to my surprise, Gray Porcelain entered the challenge so quickly, and judging from the live stream, it seems it has been challenging it for quite a while now...
Its opponent has the body of a pure white lion, paired with the upper body of a female warrior, and a long spiral horn standing upright on the woman's forehead.
Angor only glanced at it before recognizing it as another demon.
Its name is—Half-Demon.
To identify a half-demon, you only need to look at two things: first, a half-demon must be a chimera of two different creatures; second, a chimera must have spiral horns.
Gray Porcelain's opponent perfectly fits both criteria, so it is undoubtedly a half-demon.
However, it should be noted that the chimera is only the "clothing" of the half-demon; its true form is the "spiral" horn.
simply put.
The true form of a half-demon is a long, bony spiral, resembling a DNA strand. It is generally very small in size and extremely weak in its true form.
However, they possess a unique talent: the ability to stitch together two creatures, transforming them into a special demonic form.
For example, the half-demon that Gray Porcelain is currently fighting is a combination of a white lion demon and a human female warrior.
To be honest, this was the first time Angel had ever seen such a combination, but he had seen many other types of half-demon.
For example, the centaur combination and the half-demon combination of sheep and rabbit that he had seen in Rasudran.
Because there are many combinations of half-demon, it is difficult to measure their combat power using a unified standard. Some are very strong, and some are very weak. It mainly depends on how strong the two half-demon sources are.
For example, the sheep and rabbit combination. If it were just an ordinary sheep and rabbit together, their strength would probably be very weak.
However, if the horned demon and the abyssal rabbit demon were stitched together, the combat power would increase exponentially, far beyond a simple addition of one and one, and might even give rise to entirely new bloodline talents.
Therefore, the strength of half-demon cannot be generalized, but one can still discern some characteristics from their appearance.
Take, for example, this white lion female warrior—let's call her that for now. Her strength shouldn't be low. The stitched-together white lion is clearly an abyssal creature, and the female warrior, judging from her appearance, should be a native of the abyss. She wears light red and white armor and carries a bow and arrow, each shot incredibly sharp—she is by no means weak.
The white lion brings powerful bursts of speed and mobility, while the female warrior uses her bow and arrow for precise strikes. The combination of these two makes them extremely formidable in combat.
However, the White Lion Warrior seems unaware that although her arrows are always imbued with powerful energy and are extremely powerful, she has yet to hit Gray Porcelain with a single arrow.
Each time, the gray porcelain piece narrowly avoids the arrows, which looks extremely dangerous. But after many close calls, it gradually becomes "art".
The art of avoidance stemming from a sense of danger.
It must be said that the visual effect is very strong. Angor felt that recording this segment and handing it over to Turing could definitely serve as a powerful shot for combat drills.
Unfortunately, Angell was not in the mood to record at that moment.
He glanced at the gray porcelain for a moment, and after confirming that it was far more durable than he had imagined, he looked away.
He wasn't worried about the gray porcelain.
Putting aside its inherent resilience, just looking at the current battle rhythm, you can tell that Gray Porcelain has been probing the opponent's attack patterns from beginning to end, without even revealing a single real counterattack. How could it possibly lose when it is in such a relaxed state?
Angor shifted his gaze from the gray porcelain's "live broadcast room" to the screen next to Gabriel.
Gabriel is still locked in combat with the Blood Scent Succubus, but the scales of victory have clearly tipped in its favor.
The Daoqiang Demon was now covered in wounds and its aura was extremely weak, clearly at its last gasp. Judging by this momentum, Gabriel's challenge shouldn't be over for long.
Having confirmed that neither of their battles was in serious danger, Angor stopped being distracted and focused his attention on the rabbit girl.
