MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 978 Imposter
, the fastest update of Dawn of the Grey Tower! Expelling demons is actually very similar to defeating demons. Many professional exorcists actually achieve the purpose of sending them back to the abyss by defeating the bodies of demons in this world. However, such exorcists generally die faster, and those demon-shaped bodies that have been summoned for a short period of time are unstable, and it will not be too difficult to expel them.
But once the demons miss the initial expulsion period and gain a firm foothold in this world, even if they just have their own hunting grounds in the forest or wilderness, the situation will take a turn for the worse. Smart hunters can use not only bows and arrows, but also traps. The same is true of hunting demons. As opposed to violent expulsion, demons from the ritual can naturally be sent away by the ritual.
The circulation of demon books in the world has advantages and disadvantages. It will become a hidden danger for demons to appear, and it will also leave others with knowledge enough to expel demons. But for a spellcaster like Cheese, none of this matters, and neither the demon nor the method of exorcising it is just a useful tool, because mages never really rely on demons.
Demonic spells, known for their ease of access, were also abandoned for their overly restrictive caps. No matter how powerful a mage is, it is impossible to summon a demon that is too powerful, because the risk is too great. The counter example is the author of the book of demons in Cheese's hand, the mage who summoned the mighty way.
The time a demon remains in the world is proportional to its degree of danger. A demon like Wei Dao, who does not know how many years he has been in the crowd, is no less dangerous to its opponents than a demon lord. Cheese flipped through the book of demons over and over again, next to the footnotes and notes he made. These contents recorded the information that Wei Dao had just arrived in this world, and they had gradually lost their meaning over time.
In other words, the things recorded in these information are likely to be the essence of a demon named Wei Dao. People often put the synthesis of this essence into the name, so it is said that knowing the name of a demon can expel it.
But the question is, has the essence of prestige really been recorded in this book? Or has he figured out a way to change something during this time so that the message in the book is less deadly? For these things, Cheese had to try to get the answer, and the environment of the City of All Laws gave him the capital to try.
Magic, condensed in the air, looking for a carrier. This invisible force needs to be woven to become a spell, and every mage is the most mysterious tailor in the world. Cheese thought for a while, then took out the useless library brooch in his arms and injected magic power into it.
A reddish liquid slowly condensed on the pins of the brooch, not blood red, but rust red, and the liquid seemed to melt rust into water. Then, Cheese used the needle to write a name, Wei Dao, on the blank paper at hand. The name quickly fainted in Gray Robe's eyes, like ink that had been dripped on the ice, and the liquid had no chance of being compatible with the surface.
Immediately afterwards, the place covered with red rust began to emit a slight smoke, and there was a pungent smell of sulfur. Cheese thought for a while, took out a kettle, unscrewed the lid, and poured the cold water inside directly onto the paper. The sound of water splashing on the burning charcoal flashed by.
"The name is real. How could it be real?"
No demon would tell anyone his real name, absolutely not. No matter how stupid their brains are, and how intense the madness is in their hearts, they will keep that thing in the deepest part of their thinking, or simply forget it. Demons without names are the most difficult demons to deal with, and demons who tell you their names are demons in demon skins.
After a little thought, Cheese accepted the reality in front of him. He lit the candle and put the wet paper on the candle flame. The paper that should not be burning burst into a bluish-red flame at the contact point with the flame, and was pinched directly by the gray robe with two fingers. extinguish.
This abnormal phenomenon shows that this name does correspond to a demon, and it is very powerful. The question is, is he really the one Cheese has to deal with?
If it is an ordinary mage, at this stage, he should give up finding clues from the name of Wei Dao. After all, there is a whole book to study, and there is no need to start with a name with a trap nature. But what is the point of the trap? Traps are deadly because they are often placed on the most important roads, and bypassing the trap is itself a success of the trap.
Cheese took out a cloth bag from his arms and poured out a handful of salt from it. Pure salt grains, which are believed to be used to insulate demons, are also used in demon summoning. Does this thing work? Yes, but the effect is not so absolute. The salt grains spilled from his fingers and drew a magic circle on the floor, which was not a magic circle to protect Cheese, because the size was completely wrong.
The magic circle was completed quickly, Gray Robe checked it several times, and finally put the piece of paper into the fire again. When the strange fire started to light up, he threw it into the magic circle with his backhand. The flame immediately spread to the salt grains, igniting the entire array.
In the firelight, a shadow gradually expanded, at first it looked like a cat's vertical child, then it looked like a human figure, and finally it became a gateway to another world. Gray Robe looked at everything in front of him calmly. These three shadows could be regarded as the triple incarnation of the coming demon, and he couldn't see that it had anything to do with the majesty he knew. The absence of any familiarity means that the impostor and the impostor are not related.
"You know what kind of mistakes you have made, how dare you try to summon me!" The voice in the flame roared, but the wall of books made the roar from the abyss echo around Cheese.
"Well, I think you need to figure out one thing first. I didn't chant any incantations, I didn't make any requests, and your presence only came from a burning piece of paper. If you call this an attempt to summon, you'd be underestimating Human tricks." Cheese looked at the shadows in the fire, and in his magic circle, no matter how hard the devil tried, he couldn't project more parts here.
"Now I know, an arrogant human mage, eh? You think you can control the situation? I will make you pay! I will turn this place into ashes!"
"And I think we should calm down, this demon, eh, sir? Anyway, I didn't mean to disturb you, but someone made me think you were him. You know, impostor."
So the attention of the devil was diverted all of a sudden, and the flames quickly gathered, which symbolized the concentration of will, "Impostor, who? Who dares to do such a thing!"
"Well, that's what we're going to discuss next. But before that, please allow me to prepare a body that is more convenient for you to communicate with." Cheese said, and threw the brooch into the flames.
In the hands of the mage whose eyes radiated magic light, the demonic fire was folded into the brooch, and the appearance of the brooch was distorted to a certain extent. The most significant change is that the gemstone set above the brooch has become an opal, a blue-red opal.
