Chapter 95 Nabonong and her relatives
"I'll go and take a look." Osa said calmly, looking at Vifiya, holding the sword at his waist tightly, and his expression could not be seen under the cloak.
After signaling them, she quickly ran towards the source of the sound, her cloak fluttering with the snowflakes.
"I'll go too, be careful." Kaharun warned calmly.
The situation they are most worried about now may be happening.
There are too few people in Yoko Village who can fight against the anomalies.
When Elliot didn't know what to do, he saw that the stranger had made a decision. He glanced around and shouted to Reuben, "Reuben! Come with me!"
Reuben reacted and quickly said, "Okay!"
The two ran in another direction. Elliot gritted his teeth. Although he didn't know whether these outsiders could be trusted, there was nothing he could do now. If the monster's influence spread to Yoko Village, the four knights alone would not be able to handle it.
Levi looked gravely at the stranger standing in another place. Suddenly, the girl looked over at him, and her calm red eyes met his.
After just a few seconds, she turned back again.
Isidore took out the two long swords wrapped behind him. Although he was a magician, he would occasionally encounter situations where it was inconvenient to use magic.
For example, the current situation.
He handed one of the swords to Vephia, and she took it naturally.
Vifia's eyes fell on the conspicuous black slime on the snow. She took a step towards it, but was stopped by Isidore, who walked a few steps ahead of her.
Levi gripped his sword tightly and stood shoulder to shoulder with Kaihakan.
In the wooden house, the "son" of Old Liv's family suddenly put down Old Liv's legs in a daze. He turned his head and stared at Kaihakan and the other man. With blood around his lips, he smiled.
Seeing this, Kaihakan subconsciously raised his sword and said, "Levi, it's time to attack."
"Don't talk nonsense." Levi responded rudely.
Isidore drew his sword, and in his ears he could hear the sounds of the two knights fighting with Gui Yishu. The palm of his hand holding the hilt emitted a faint light from the magic circle, and the cold light of the whole sword seemed even colder.
He couldn't directly cover the surface of the sword with magic power like Osa did. At least except for Osa, all magicians who wanted to add magic power to objects had to go through the conversion of magic circles or runes.
Compared to Osa's method of directly covering the sword body, the advantage is that ordinary people cannot see the light they attach to the sword with the naked eye, while the disadvantage is that the original magic power cannot be brought into play at its best.
Without hesitation, the long sword stabbed down, but the black mucus was instantly retracted onto "Hannah's" body.
Hannah stared at Isidore with the same strange eyes: "Why... do you... want to... kill me too?"
Its mouth suddenly opened wide, this time much larger than Hannah's head, black mucus covered the surface of its mouth, and it rushed straight towards Isidore.
Arnold seized the opportunity, took a few steps sideways, pulled out the sword from the wall, and quickly turned around to chop at "Hannah".
Isidore also took the initiative to step forward, his silver pupils without any emotion, his target was "Hannah's" head!
He understood that this alone would not be enough to kill such an anomaly.
Vifiya stood there without moving, watching the monsters on both sides vigilantly.
Obviously, the black slime is the main body of the monster. When Isidore attacked the black slime on the snow, it was retracted into the monster's body. Does that mean that the monster can use the black slime outside the body to transmit the sensation to the main body?
Furthermore, the monster's ability to take on human form also raises questions about its ability to reassemble. How many times can it reassemble? Does it reassemble to a certain number of times, becoming unable to do so again? Does the final attack cause it to vanish?
The most important point is, if the black slime can devour one human, then can it devour a second? A third?
Also, can the Night Slime devour other monsters?
If the black slime is the false god who came to remind her of Quisili, then this monster will definitely not be simple.
She looked at Isidore and Arnold. They had no idea how many times they had killed "Hannah", but it could still quickly reassemble every time.
"Be careful not to get stuck by its slime!" Vifiya shouted. Whether they were right or wrong, they couldn't afford to gamble on this possibility. No one knew what would happen if the black slime stuck to them.
Fortunately, the black mucus is not like ordinary blood, which will splash out when hit.
Suddenly, she felt something approaching from behind at a very fast speed. Her instinct was faster than her thinking. She quickly drew out her sword and turned back!
The long sword slashed off half of the body of the "son" of the old Liv family, black mucus flowed out, and the smell of flowers and corpses filled the space.
Kaihakan chopped off its body with another sword, and Levi used his sword to pick up another part of its body. They obviously also heard Vifiya's reminder.
The "sons" of the old Liv family are now distributed in three places, which also gives Kaihakan and others a chance to breathe.
Vifiya looked solemn. Nothing is perfect. There must be weaknesses. They must find the weaknesses as soon as possible, otherwise the monsters will come endlessly and consume their physical strength. I don’t know how Osa and the others are doing?
In the past, if she really couldn't find a way, she could just directly contact the black slime and find the weakness in their roots. No matter how many times she had to die, as long as she couldn't die, she would definitely kill them.
On the other side, "Hannah" was broken into pieces again.
There was still no expression on Isidore's face. He just felt that it was a bit troublesome. If there was no one else here, he could use magic to trap this mass of black slime in a magic circle. After that, it would be easy to study its weaknesses.
There was only one thing that he found strange. When exactly was the new anomaly born? It not only allowed it to bypass Salis's monitoring, but also prevented him and Kaharun from sensing the disgusting mixture of magic.
Arnold walked beside him and probed the black slime with his sword. This time the black slime did not dodge and was just like ordinary liquid.
The reorganization was slowing down, he thought.
But how to eliminate the black slime is still a problem.
He stepped back a few meters.
The two men looked at Vifia. In fact, they both paid some attention to her during the fight. When she was about to be attacked by the "son" of the old Liv family, she had already blocked the attack for herself before they could make a move.
The two of them made sure that she was okay before turning their attention back to the black slime.
So far, the black slime has a single attack method, and the only trouble is that it can constantly reorganize.
"The speed of transforming into a human form has slowed down." Levi said breathlessly.
Kaihakan did not answer, he stared at the old Liv family's "son" who was also slowing down.
The black mucus scattered in three places slowly merged together.
Now everyone has come to the conclusion that constantly killing the black slime that has turned into a human form can slow down its reorganization speed.
"If we kill it a few more times, can we completely eliminate it?" Levi expressed his guess.
"No." It was not Kehakan who answered first, but Vifiya. "That's not wise."
"The lady is right," Kaihakan explained. "Assuming your question is correct, how many times do we need to kill it? What if it's a hundred times, or even a thousand times?"
They are human beings, and their physical strength will be exhausted.
"If the assumption is not true..." He did not continue.
Levi now understood what they meant. If the assumption was not true, the energy they spent here would be doubled.
"Also, whether the monster will recover." Vifiya added.
In her worst-case scenario, the monster would return to its initial reorganization speed at the moment when it was reorganizing the slowest.
Although this idea was absurd, she knew that nothing was impossible. Moreover, this was a new monster mentioned by the false god himself in front of her, so she had to take it seriously.
She did not forget what the real goddess Lehomi had told her, that the strange creatures born all over the world were the eyes and power of the false god. So, did what she saw now also count?
The hint given by Goddess Lehomi is too general.
"Hannah!"
An urgent and painful old voice came.
Vifiya and Kaihakan were startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
In the sight, Arnold had already stretched out his hand to grab the man.
Vifiya recognized her immediately; it was Nabonong, the one they had seen when they first entered the village.
Nabonon's crutch was thrown aside, and she took out a knife from somewhere on her body and slashed at Arnold. While he dodged, Nabonon had already pounced on the pool of black mucus from "Hannah".
Isidore watched all this quietly.
"Damn it! Where did this crazy woman come from!" Levi was extremely angry. He had already used a lot of strength to deal with the "son" of old Liv's family, and now his chest was heaving even more frequently.
"She's not Hannah anymore! Hannah is dead! You crazy woman!"
Levi cursed and tried to move forward, but was stopped by Kaihakam, who shook his head at him.
"I know." Nabonong's voice was soft, and in this space, it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Levi was stunned and stared at her in disbelief: "You knew that and yet you ran over there!"
Nabonong's eyes were gentle. Her eyes really didn't look like those of an old man. Her pupils were as bright as stars. "Thank you, Sir Knight, thank you for helping me find Hannah."
Levi was choked for a moment. This was the first time he had been thanked so sincerely, and in this situation.
Nabonong's hands, which once supported the entire family, are now wrinkled like smooth silk under the kiss of time.
The black slime slowly spread over her body and slowly engulfed her.
She stroked the black slime, which belonged to Hannah, her granddaughter, her only non-blood relative, her eyes, her nose, her ears, her lips.
She smiled gently.
She said, “Don’t stop me.”
