Chapter 3170 The Road to Self-Destruction

The power given by Chloe was indeed effective. The continuous ice storm pinned the obsidian spider to the ground. The flames around it were gradually suppressed around its body surface, and the dark red color appearing in the cracks of its body clearly looked like flowing magma.

It was a snowy winter night, and there was no better time for Shad to use this magic.

He did not approach the spider in the center of the ice storm. He clenched his right hand to the side, and the ice spear carved with fine runes was outlined and formed as his mind moved:

“Thunder gun!”

The lightning attached to the spear was thrown out by Shade. The lightning with frightening frost penetrated the center of the ice storm and nailed the three-meter-tall giant fire spider firmly to the ground. Then it was -

"Passionate Ice!"

Boom! After a loud noise, the ice spear that pierced the spider exploded on the spot, and a big hole was blown in the spider's body. The blazing flames wanted to fill the gap in the body, but the Witch Queen's icy power that could even freeze time was not something these flames could contend with.

The flames on its body had been suppressed to a level that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and its thick spider legs were frozen to the snow. It finally realized that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but the ice attached to its body made it unable to move.

The spider's eight eyes looked diagonally upwards. The figure that was hugged by the girl from behind had already jumped under the moon. The silver sword in his hand was like a dancing Milky Way when it was swung under the moon. This scene was the last thing it saw before it was split into two by the Night Watchman.

Dr. Schneider quickly approached the giant spider's corpse, and the flames in his hands first burned its demonic essence, and then he took out the special potion given by the academy to dissolve the corpse.

When the three people on the periphery came closer, the spider corpse had turned into pure "Fate Weaver" remains, and any demonic power disappeared.

Xia De was very sure that the doctor must have used the skills of a demon hunter when performing the series of dazzling operations just now. In that ancient era when evil spirits were rampant, temporarily defeating the demons was not the end of the task. Only by eliminating the remaining influence of the demons could a human community be guaranteed to no longer be harmed in a short period of time.

"You see, it seems that I have the best luck."

Father Augustus, the doctor, and Dorothy were unable to refute her.

The next stop is the last stop. After completing the final experiment, everyone can go home and hand in their reports to the doctor before Saturday. The doctor is also responsible for writing an overall report.

Xia De wanted to get into the carriage again, but this time the doctor stopped him:

"Detective, how about you and I drive the carriage together? I don't know what happened in the city just now. If we are stopped and questioned later, you may need help."

The doctor must have something to say to Shad, so Shad replaced Father Augustus and sat in the front, but the doctor was still the one driving.

After making sure the other three were on the bus, the doctor first handed the card in his hand to Shade, then rang the bell and shook the reins.

As soon as he got the fourth card, Shade could sense the smell of sulfur through his sense of touch. He couldn't understand how the sense of touch and the sense of smell were connected. He rubbed the card with his fingertips. The bumps on the card didn't feel like the twisting soul that Shade had imagined before. They were clearly the marks of the twelve demons that the doctor had absorbed.

The card surface was a blurry shadow, and in the shadow was a blurry and terrifying face with scarlet eyes. But if you look closely, you can clearly see the pattern of the "Demon Hunting Seal" in the shadow.

The letters on this card, which also has a very good design, are made up of pieces of black burning obsidian.

Name: Bill D. Schneider

【Race】: Human/Evil? ?

[Body Status]: Full/Container/Seal

[Soul State]: Powerful/Sinful/Profane/Dark/Noble

[Level]: Ringmaster, Ten Rings/Witcher/High-level Demon (Sealed)

【Fortune】：↓↓

[Motto of Destiny]: The road to responsibility is also the road to self-destruction.

With a sigh, white smoke rushed from his nose into the night:

"Doctor, this card says you have a noble soul."

Xia De said to the psychiatrist who was concentrating on driving. The doctor was concentrating on looking at the road illuminated by the gas street lamps, so he had no time to turn around and look at him:

"This means that I have not been contaminated by it yet, so I feel a little relieved. I just read the above content, and I was worried that I had been corrupted at first, but I didn't realize it myself.

I just didn't expect that this kind of card could even reveal the ancient professions. As for the legendary degree, 12 refers to the twelve evil demons we have completely eliminated. You should have also looked at the cards of the three of them just now. Can the secrets of others be found out so easily? "

“Almost, but it’s not clear.”

The doctor continued to look at the road ahead. Snowflakes flew towards the two of them, but no one paid any attention.

"So everyone should try to avoid these kinds of exploration relics in the future. Although I think those low-level relics should not be able to reveal all the information, but no one knows what effect an unknown relic can have."

He motioned for Shad to put the card he had just read into his coat pocket, and then said:

"Including the fortune, the information displayed is consistent with my expectations, so you don't have to be scared by those scary-looking adjectives describing [physical condition] and [spiritual condition]."

"I'm not scared, but what will be your ending?"

The psychiatrist didn't care:

"Since I chose this path many years ago, I have been prepared for any outcome, as long as it allows me to fulfill my wishes before reaching the end."

"So, you told me that the five of us would brave the wind and snow to cross the great ice cap in the far north and then enter St. Byron's Comprehensive College to become teachers. Don't you want to realize your wish now?"

Shade asked again, and Bill Schneider looked at the road ahead and remained silent for a long time:

"If possible, I would like to realize this wish and take a look at the legendary St. Byron's College. Speaking of which, I have almost cracked the seal on the book I brought back from the woods."

He was obviously forcing a change of subject, and at this moment the carriage began to cross the bridge across the Ausel River. Shade noticed two glowing light sources on the other side of the bridge, and only saw that they were the eyes of a stray cat when the carriage passed by:

"Can the contents be parsed? Do you need me to translate it?"

The doctor shook his head:

"Not yet. You can only turn to the next page of the book after reading and understanding the previous content. The chapters I can see so far are all written in ancient demon language.

It contains some pretty evil rituals and powers, sorry I can only describe it this way. Although your book "The Book of Malbas Demons" also records the knowledge of demons, at least part of the book you got from the Stone Mirror Demon is still readable.

But now, if any information in this "Collection of Soul Stories" is seen by ordinary people, they will immediately become a signpost for summoning ancient evil spirits. However, this requires sacrificing the souls of mortals, so I will not do this."

Xia De moved his fingers a few times, stabilizing the light of the flickering gas street lamp not far ahead:

"Isn't it said that the book is related to that existence? There is no record of the devil in it?"

The doctor denied it again:

"A ring sorcerer who is proficient in the element of enlightenment gains power by reading stories passed down by civilization. The knowledge recorded in this book in my hand is carried on stories related to demons. Gain blasphemy through stories, and then master the terrible power I mentioned.

The stories in this collection that I have read so far all point to the most ancient demons, such as the Stone Mirror Demon. I suspect that if I continue reading, there will be some stories about the Great Demon itself mixed in.

Or maybe the demon was in some other story about evil spirits, and appeared in a way that I didn’t see, but I just didn’t realize it.”

Because the Doctor has acquired the secondary occupation of "Monster Hunter", he can now wear the [Monster Seal], but he is still afraid of the [Night Watcher], so Shad can still use the sword to test whether he is out of control.

But outsiders are still worried:

"After you read the book, are you okay?"

"I can't say it's completely fine. I can only read it slowly and carefully. Detective, I know what you're worried about, and I will remain vigilant. But I have to read on. Even if there are no clues about the Demon King, the story about the most ancient evil spirits itself is very valuable information.

Maybe, without your help this time, I can encounter those evil demons by myself."
