Chapter 772: Chapter 431 Soul Devouring Demon_2

"The Book of the Future complained, "My soul has not recovered, and the Soul Devouring Demon is very powerful. Even with the use of the Master’s Spiritual Energy, it consumes a lot from me."

"Shut up, just use it."

The Book of the Future hummed discontentedly and flipped through its pages quickly.

Rod felt his Spiritual Energy being rapidly drained.

A moment later, he had the answer the Book of Knowledge wanted.

"I haven’t seen any malignant futures; killing them won’t further intensify the Source feedback. The future holds Divinity, and there’s Nightmare Fuel, hmm, a very small chance to obtain a Nightmare Gem."

The Book of Knowledge shouted, "Exactly, I knew it! Killing the symbiotic creatures of the Black Fog would result in Nightmare Fuel. Although this part of my memory is lost, I can deduce it. It was indeed the right choice to come to the battlefield of Starry Sky City."

In the canyon, Rod hesitated for a moment, just about to speak, when suddenly a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy erupted beside him—a tsunami of Spiritual Energy waves came crashing in, and a brilliant Spiritual Light soared into the sky, revealing a giant shadow within.

It was at least a hundred yards tall, covered with blue scales, and each of its six colossal arms held a Giant Sword.

As the Spiritual Light faded, it was indeed Jessica in her Awakened State, the Six-Armed Snake Demon.

Within her terrifying form coursed an unbelievably strong Spiritual Energy.

Looking up at her, Rod asked loudly, "Sister Jessica, are we getting ready to fight?"

"Yes."

Jessica’s voice became strange, with a weird echo as if speaking inside a cave.

"My intuition tells me the battle is about to begin."

A crisp bell sound rang out as she shook the Silence Bell, reducing the disturbance caused by the battle in this area.

Rod was about to speak when he saw a giant black shadow rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed.

Jessica’s six arms raised high, then forcefully swung down.

Boom—a loud blast.

The Giant Sword collided with the black shadow, and the impact of the clashing Spiritual Energy spread like a flash of light, the air thundering as if muffled, the entire canyon flickering for a moment.

Seconds later, Rod could see clearly that the black shadow was the Soul Devouring Demon, using its arms like shields to block the six Giant Swords.

The Six-Armed Snake Demon screeched, its six Giant Swords spinning like a windmill and slashing down.

The Soul Devouring Demon could only raise its arms to parry, and as the Giant Swords struck its limbs, splashes of black muck erupted.

In an instant, the Six-Armed Snake Demon overpowered it, with fierce attacks coming like a violent storm, shaking the demon’s body, causing its soul to tremble and its Spiritual Energy flow to stagnate.

But the next moment, red lights blazed in the demon’s facial features, and a black, corrosive aura burst forth from its body.

"Be careful!"

Another voice, coming from behind the Soul Devouring Demon.

Rod turned and was surprised to find an old acquaintance.

The Chief Instructor, Elite Knight Captain Soron.

During his time with the secret branch, it was Soron who taught Rod basic combat and led his early development.

He didn’t expect to meet him here.

Yet Rod remembered clearly, wasn’t he a Second Level Combatant?

Soron rushed over from a distance, looking very disheveled, his armor torn and muddy, his helmet half-broken, with a through-and-through wound on his thigh that was only hastily bandaged; his Long Sword was broken, and he was only holding onto a broken sword’s hilt.

"Jessica, that Soul Devouring Demon is extremely dangerous; if it gets the upper hand, it will attempt to Devour your soul through Position!"

But it was already too late; in the next instant, red lights shot out from the features of the Soul Devouring Demon, striking the Six-Armed Snake Demon.

Jessica’s body shook, her arms went limp, and the six Giant Swords fell to the ground with a thunderous crash, their blades embedding in the earth.

"Quick, help her!" Soron shouted urgently. "Guardian’s..."

He choked mid-sentence, his eyes bulging.

"Rod? You’re Rod? How come you are here? When has Starry Sky City’s battlefield allowed anyone below First Level Combatants to enter?"

But in the next moment, he saw Rod’s Guardian Robe and the triple flame insignia at his collar.

Soron was so astounded it looked as if his eyeballs might pop out.

"Rod, you, you’ve been promoted to Guardian??"

Rod spoke in a stern voice, "Yes, instructor Soron, how can I help her?"

Soron snapped back to reality, "We’ll strike its head with our strongest attacks to disrupt its devouring! Otherwise, Jessica will have to fight it at the soul level, which is extremely dangerous."

Rod’s heart tightened, and he responded, "Okay."

Soron yelled, "Don’t use your Spiritual Energy cannon, avoid using Energy Type attacks, use striking methods."

Rod decisively drew out his Long Sword Star Night, answering, "Okay!"

Soron was inwardly shaken, realizing for the first time just how different his former student had become.

But fleeting thoughts passed, and with a leap, Soron brandished the sword with both hands, shouting loudly. A flash of Spiritual Light on the short sword, and a forty-yard-long Giant Sword appeared in his hands, its blade sharp and glinting with cold light, not a Spiritual Power Sword.

Rod took a deep breath, pointed his toe, and his figure soared up into the air.

At that moment, he suddenly heard Asa’s cold laugh within the Dream Realm.

Rod frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Asa replied coolly, "Look closely at the head of the Soul Devouring Demon."

Rod focused, lifting his gaze, and saw the Soul Devouring Demon’s head filled with circulating Spiritual Energy, without a single flaw, and even seemed somewhat denser than other parts of its body.
