"Power? Manipulate flames. But don't think of the other party as a Balrog. If a Balrog is similar to a warrior, then Dizast is a skilled caster who controls flames. It can absorb people's pain and sorrow by causing fires.
Urban fires, forest fires, these will increase its power.
It is rumored that it burned the kingdom of dragons and caused fires in the sacred forest in the Elf Kingdom. The legend of this demon is not as old as Goethe, the stone mirror demon, or Fanarius, the demon of doom, but it is definitely not
Ordinary evil spirits. If that’s what it is.”
The doctor squinted slightly:
"I think it can be explained by what happened three hundred years ago. Dizast's body is flame, so it has the power to split itself and then make any split individual become its body. The church may not know this secret of it
, I guess that although the Natural Church caused heavy damage to it three hundred years ago and indeed sealed most of its flames, its remaining power was dormant in the forest and did not appear again until now."
"Split flame, so it can also absorb other flames to strengthen itself?"
Shade asked again, thinking of the stolen forest fire found today.
"certainly."
The doctor nodded immediately:
"I know you have a very powerful flame that burns all things, the original fire, right? As long as it has been exposed to this kind of flame once, it can be immune to the attack of this kind of flame to a certain extent, so there is no need
Think about using your fire against it.
Only water, ice and cold are the nemesis of Dizast. This thing is very troublesome. Fortunately, judging from your description, the church has caused great damage to it in the past, and the opponent should not be able to fully recover, so it
Its splitting ability should not be strong. From my judgment, it can split up to four times now, and any more will damage its core."
"Is there a way to track this evil spirit? Or do we have to wait for it to show up on its own?"
Shade asked, and the doctor thought for a while:
"Pay attention to the recent unidentified fires in the Vista Woodland. If the source of the flames is not the charred trees it corrupted, then there is a high probability that it is its own body that is setting fire.
Our opponent is not difficult to deal with this time, because Dizast is not the kind of demon that likes to hide. It enjoys causing disasters with its own hands. But if there is no angel-level relic [Ice Magic Box] you mentioned,
Even if you find a relic of this level, it will be difficult to trap it."
"So doctor, you still need to go to Vista Grove in person this time, right?"
"I'm definitely going. The method you used in Moon Bay to call me at the midnight crossroads still works. It's just that I can't go there until I find a way to restrain it and determine how many times it has split.
It appeared in front of me, and I am also curious about the reason why it suddenly appeared at this time."
The doctor was still thinking, and Xia De mentioned again:
"There is an organization of ring warlocks called [Winter Songs] in the far north. They are believers of the old god [Winter Maiden]. The leader of the group is the thirteen-ring warlock 'Winter Singer' Elsa Esper
Miss Ge, I should be able to ask her to go to Vista Grove to help.
Moreover, the Winter Chorus should have relics or magical items that are as good as the [Ice Magic Box], and with their help, this matter will be much easier to deal with."
Miss Asberg is a good friend of Miss Daniste, and asking her to help was a plan that Shade and Miss Daniste had discussed when they returned to town this afternoon.
Doctors don’t object to this:
"That's fine. My plan is that Dizast's splitting ability is not strong yet. As long as we destroy the different flames it splits at the same time, it is equivalent to catching it. The flame sealed by the church should have been with it.
If the main body is out of contact, there is no need to worry that it will eventually escape into the [Ice Magic Box].
With the help of Miss Asberg, plus you and me, there are three people in total. As long as the number of its clones is less than 3, we can take action directly."
"So we still follow the previous division of labor. I look for its split body in the Vista Woodland and try to find out what it wants to do."
Shade said, and the doctor nodded:
"I also need to make some weapons specifically for it. In addition, I told you some time ago that after obtaining the thirteenth demonic power, I will add a core spirit rune to myself. I want to use it in Vestalin
Do it in a local area, not in Tobesk.
You know, compared to hunting that fire demon, I feel that adding spiritual runes in the future is more difficult for me."
"Doctor, I will help you when the time comes. But you must think about whether you really want to do this. I still remember when you told me at the beginning that adding core spirit runes the day after tomorrow was crazy."
Shade reminded, and the doctor smiled helplessly:
"Yes, but I didn't expect that after I brought you into our group, you would encounter demons so frequently. Last summer, this incident was just a possible idea for me. Speaking of which, the demon of fire - Diza
Because Stur doesn't like to hide himself very much, during the Third Age, it was the demon that most frequently fought against witchers.
Of course, most witchers have only come into contact with its clones, but there is no difference between the original body and the clones for this special existence."
"So, did the original demon hunters have any special methods to fight against it?"
When Shade asked, the doctor actually remembered:
"If you are referring to specifically targeted secret techniques, there is really no such thing. But because of the characteristics of its body, the demon is afraid of both the power of the sacred and the ice. Demon hunters in those days usually looked for some blessed holy water.
, use secret techniques to freeze it into a weapon and then fight against Dizast's flames.
You can learn from this practice. The high-concentration holy water sold by priests and the moonlight water you own have extraordinary damage effects on evil. Then use a powerful enough ice spell to shape the water into
The long sword, coupled with your [Moonlight Great Sword], the restraint caused by this is not just as simple as doubling or doubling."
Although the doctor failed to provide a targeted spell, he gave Shade a formula for an "exorcism potion." Drinking this potion can avoid being possessed by demons to a certain extent, and can also expel slight demonic powers. .
It's just that this potion has little effect on truly ancient demons, but it is only effective on evil spirits such as the arsonist Sophix and the fire demon Dezast.
Therefore, Shade can prepare this potion, mix it with a certain proportion of holy water and moonlight water, and then freeze it with ice and use it as a weapon.
This is not the first time that Shade has encountered a demon, so after he explained it to Luvia at home that night, Luvia was not as surprised as before. She just told Shade to be careful:
"I have asked Carina to convey the news to Miss Aurora in the council. The repair and upgrade of the Radiant Messenger is almost over. Once the big ship sets sail again, the support of the Witch Council can arrive with the ship. .Although due to the power of the twisted tree hole, in order to prevent more people from falling into other time and space and causing more time paradoxes, the Witch Council will not send many people, but at least your manpower will not be stretched like it is now."
Vista City is not a coastal city, but the Aronson River that runs through the woodland and connects Willendale flows through some large lakes in the north of the Vista Woodland. It will be good for the Radiant Messenger to dock nearby."
Although Shade said this morning that Carina and Luvia would be waiting for him at home tonight, in fact Carina did not show up because she had something to do at night.
So that night, Shade thought that no one else would show up at home except Luvia. Unexpectedly, at eleven o'clock in the evening, little Mia was squatting at the door of the bathroom watching Shade brushing his teeth in the mirror. The door downstairs actually opened. It was opened by someone.
Then there was a series of sounds of high heels. After rinsing his mouth, Shade poked his head towards the living room:
"Carina, why are you here so late? Aren't you going to have a meeting until late? I thought you would stay at Yodel Palace."
The Duchess hugged him:
"That was my original plan, but didn't I promise you this morning?
Yes, the statistics of this autumn's national grain harvest have finally been compiled today. The specific numbers are meaningless, as long as you know that this number is 30% less than last year."
She looked a little tired, and Luvia also walked down from the third floor at this time:
"This is not worse than expected. Didn't the Kingdom already have forecasts for bad weather in the summer?"
"Although that's what I said, after seeing the result, my nephew didn't even eat today's dinner.
It seems that the war is bound to start this winter. The new trade route in the Pantanal is just a trigger. Before winter food prices and domestic conflicts explode, the topic of war will definitely occupy the front pages of all newspapers. Headlines.”
She kissed Shade gently:
"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. I saw the lights here downstairs just now, and I felt inexplicably relieved. When I didn't know you before, when I encountered these troublesome things, I could only tell Tifa Talk, or go horseback riding, or hunt. Now this is home, and it’s nice to have a hug with you at night.”
She showed a rare weak expression:
"Although I have considered making Saladir County an independent principality so that the Parliament can have a real headquarters in the future, but I am not a political madman like Lesia. Now that I have you, I really don't want to care about those things anymore.
Something happened."
"You carry the Cavendish name, and you can't get rid of these things."
Shade gently patted Carina on the back, while Luvia smiled and claimed that she would be drawing the star map that was about to be submitted until very late tonight, so she asked Shade and Carina to rest first.
