Chapter 604 The whole story
Pearl didn't expect that even now, Narilla still wouldn't fight her head-on.
The other party turned into a black shadow and immediately disappeared into the passage he came from.
"She's going to the magic reservoir? Will she run into Thor?"
Although Pearl left Thor alone in the passage when she chased Nerila in, she believed that the boy who always had magical means could find a way to escape the trap set by Nerila.
But if he met Nerella head-on during his promotion...
Just as Pei'er was about to chase after him, she suddenly felt a force entangled with her from behind.
She looked back and saw her body full of holes, which seemed to be inviting her, the master who had been away for a long time.
Pearl paused for a moment, then thought of Thor outside, and chased after him without hesitation.
However, just as she reached the fork in the road, she saw Thor and the fake wind demon Nerilla.
The strange thing was that Thor had one hand on the fake wind demon's forehead, but the latter did not move and let him do what he wanted.
At this time, Thor also saw the old witch and noticed that her expression was different from her usual carefree look.
"Old witch, or should I call you Lord Wind Demon?"
Pearl pouted, "Even if you use a honorific, I don't feel respect. You should just call me old witch, or...just Pearl."
"Well, then I'd better call you old witch." Facing such a face, Thor couldn't call her the name "Pelle".
Pei'er rolled her eyes in her heart, but didn't care, "You've been promoted to level two? So fast?"
"In fact, the preparatory work had been completed as early as when I completed the magic reservoir. In addition, this second-level person pretending to be a wind demon helped me upgrade the magic reservoir, and everything came naturally." Thor lightly talked about his years of preparatory work.
Despite this, there was still a hint of fear in Pearl's eyes when she looked at Thor.
She looked at Nerella, who was motionless. "What did you do to her?"
"She is dead."
Pearl was shocked.
Thor not only quickly completed the promotion, but also killed Nerila in a short time? This guy just reached the second level, and he can easily kill a senior second-level wizard. Isn't it a bit too exaggerated? Pei'er's fear in her heart increased a little.
She went forward to test Nerila and found that she had indeed lost all life. It was just because she died too quickly and Sol's killing method was too strange that her body looked no different from that of a living person.
Thor collected the body of the fake wind demon in front of Pearl, "My original plan was to advance to the second level, kill the wind demon and escape quickly. But I found out that this wind demon was fake, and the real wind demon stayed with me for a year under a false name."
"Old witch, can you tell me what happened to you now?"
Pearl stared at the place where Nairila disappeared, and after a moment she sighed softly, "Come with me."
Thor pointed to the passage they came from and said, "Don't worry about anything else. Can you dismantle the mechanism set by the fake wind demon? Otherwise, I'm afraid my men will fall apart."
Pearl nodded. "That also requires going to another cave. There is a mechanism that controls everything."
The two quickly came to another cave.
Pearl controlled the magic stone statue to stop attacking and switch to self-defense mode. She also asked the Spider Mother, who had become a puppet, to pass the command "stop attacking and continue to lie dormant" through spider silk.
After doing all this, Pearl returned to Thor.
At this moment, Thor was observing the broken woman standing in the middle of the cave, his eyes lingering on her broken face and the hand where a finger was missing.
"Now, can you tell me what happened?"
Pei'er walked to her original body and said, "Actually, even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming."
She suddenly put her hands on the shoulders of her original body, and then a horrible scene happened. The old witch's body began to melt slowly.
But these melted parts did not drip down. Instead, they seemed to be pulled by some force and slowly drilled into the cracks of the broken body in front of her.
The body of the wind demon that absorbed the old witch's body was changing rapidly, and the cracks on her body were quickly healed.
The faint breath is gradually recovering.
On the contrary, the vitality of the old witch was rapidly declining.
“Bang!”
When all the materials of the old witch's perfect body flowed into the wind demon's body, her exaggeratedly large head fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The severed finger tied to the hair flew up lightly and reconnected to the wind demon's palm.
The wind demon's eyes blinked and regained their luster.
This process took about fifteen minutes.
Thor stood quietly by the side the whole time, watching the old witch find herself again.
The wind demon Pei'er looked at Thor, and unexpectedly saw a kind of courage that she had never seen before, "Now, I know exactly what happened."
She led Thor to an icicle in the corner of the cave.
"Two years before you entered the Borderlands, I encountered terrible pollution when I tried to advance. Even if I succeed in advancing, I will lose myself due to the pollution, and then all that will exist in this world is a mindless killing monster."
"So I forcibly stopped my promotion, but my mental strength and magic power suffered a strong backlash. I almost fell back to the second level. This attempt also made me understand that in the Borderless Land, it is impossible to advance to the fourth level! Because the rules here do not allow it!"
"After failing to advance, I wanted to gather my forces and recover quietly, but I was betrayed by the people around me. You saw that it was the second-level wizard Nairila who disguised herself as me. She informed Clark of my serious injury. Clark actually wanted to take the opportunity to pull me into his dream kingdom. If he really completes devouring me, maybe he can also try to advance to the fourth level."
Pei Er sneered, "Of course if he also gets promoted in the Borderlands, he will probably end up worse off than me!"
Thor crossed his arms and analyzed the current situation. "Clark took advantage of your injury and wanted to devour you, while your subordinate Nerila pretended to be you and stabilized the situation in the no man's land. This should be to delay time so that Clark can devour you safely. But Nerila is not a real third-level wizard after all. Even if she can use your momentum to suppress the wizard on the cliff, it can't last long. After all, as soon as she makes a move, someone with ulterior motives will find out that something is wrong, so she is eager to be promoted."
Pearl nodded. "The pollution accumulated in her body made her unsure that she could survive the promotion, so she secretly sent people to test your ability to clean up the pollution. However, she may have discovered through Justin that you were building a magic reservoir, so she changed her mind and decided to take the risk of using the magic reservoir to quickly promote. When she was impersonating me before, she pretended to be injured and rarely left this cave. Even last time, in order to snatch your magic reservoir, she first let three wizards consume your power, and then appeared at the end to take away the magic reservoir directly. She didn't make any move during the process."
Pearl turned to Thor again, "But she didn't expect that such a short action would still allow you to discover the flaws, and you were so bold as to sneak into the cliff to fight back. If you hadn't provoked me to come in, I don't know how long it would take for me to regain my self-awareness."
The questions about the fake wind demon have basically been answered.
But the dream maker Clark behind her is still a big trouble.
Thor spread his hands and said, "First of all, congratulations on finding yourself again. Then, I would like to ask, can you break free from Clark's devouring now?"
Pei'er bit her lip, and her tough demeanor softened into a more pitiful look.
"I'm not sure."
Looking at Pearl's expression, Thor also understood that even though she had found herself again, her condition was definitely not as good as before. Even her spirit might have become weaker because of Clark's long-term devouring.
He then asked, "Has Clark discovered that you have regained self-awareness now?"
"I have temporarily sealed these ice cones. He won't be able to detect any changes here within a few days." Pei'er shook her head slowly.
Sol held his chin in his hand. "The enemy is too strong, and the reinforcements need time to develop... For now, we can only use their own tactics against them."
