Chapter 203 Dolls on the Stage
Chapter 203 Dolls on the Stage
After ten days, Maxim and others finally saw the Dreadlord among the hordes of demons.
When they first saw the Dreadlord, they thought they had found the wrong one. Such a beautiful snail turned out to be a Dreadlord. It didn't look like one at all.
But it was only the first glance. The brave team was on high alert at the second glance. Since they could get here, they naturally knew that some things cannot be judged by appearance alone.
The Dreadlord seemed to sense that someone was watching it, and its tentacles turned around. Jennifer immediately let out a muffled groan, and her spell was broken.
"Retreat!" Maxim made a quick decision, picked up Jennifer and retreated.
The next second, a stone that was more than ten meters wide and burning with flames crashed down onto the spot where Jennifer had just stopped.
boom!
The magma exploded and splashed in all directions.
A layer of halo appeared on the surface of Maxim's body, blocking the splashing magma.
Retreating to an area he thought was safe, Maxim looked at Jennifer in his arms and said, "Are you okay, Jennifer?"
"It's okay." Jennifer's voice was calm, and she maintained her usual cool expression, except that her ears were a little redder than usual.
Maxim put Jennifer down and looked at the place where the Demon King of Dread was. "Notify the others and prepare for battle. I'm afraid the Demon King this time will be very difficult to deal with."
Looking at the retreating Maxim, the Dreadlord Nass waved his tentacles. He was really cautious. Under its mental suggestion, he actually chose to retreat instead of going forward to fight.
It was still the same living room, and the brave team reunited again.
"We have found the location of the Dreadlord." Jennifer was the first to speak. "It is in a dungeon and looks like a white and gold snail."
"Based on the brief collision, the Dreadlord should be a magician-specialized monster. Judging from the detection and subsequent pursuit, it should be at least proficient in elemental spells."
"It should also be able to perform mind magic." Maxim said, "When Jennifer discovered it, my first reaction was to kill it directly. This is very abnormal."
The faces of the others suddenly darkened. They did not doubt Maxim's words. He was usually very cautious. Whenever he faced an enemy, he would test the enemy first before engaging in a head-on battle.
That is why their faces looked heavy. Mental magic was the most difficult magic to resist. Sometimes one would not even know when they were under a spell.
But they don’t have experts who are proficient in the mind.
"Then the species of the Dreadlord can be confirmed." Sabrina also spoke at this time, "Regarding the snail, we also found a special snail here. We were not sure at first, but after Sim said so, it should be it."
"Oh, what is it?" Maxim asked urgently.
Although the Demon King is an extraordinary monster and can be said to be two different species from the original demons, they are of the same origin after all, and they have some similar weaknesses.
"The Flowing Heart Snail is a rare silver monster. It is good at the mind and is also white." Sabrina said, "It is obviously unlikely that two rare monsters appear in the same place. They are either the same monster or they are related."
"But I guess they are relatives. According to the informant's description, the Flowing Heart Snail looks very peaceful and has helped them expel some ferocious monsters. It doesn't look like a dreadlord."
"Let's go find it." Maxim made a decision. "Whether it's true or not, we'll have something to gain. If it's not, we can invite it to help us fight the Dreadlord. If it is, we can be sure that there is something else going on with the Dreadlord. I'm afraid Merrick has a deeper problem."
"What's the problem with Merrick?" Luna asked puzzledly, "Isn't human trafficking a big problem?"
"But I always feel it's just a coincidence." Maxim looked thoughtful, "The problem that was exposed just happened to be not too big or too small, so even if I knew he had a problem, I would definitely deal with it later. I know my personality well."
"Is it possible that you are too suspicious?" Luna said in a tone of sarcasm. "I guess I am too suspicious." Maxim said, "Anyway, we will know if it is true once we find the Flowing Heart Snail."
Maxim turned to Sabrina and said, "Can we still find the person who provided the information?"
"Okay." Sabrina nodded.
Maxim said: "Thank you for your help."
"No trouble." Sabrina smiled sweetly, "This is what I should do."
This made Luna snort coldly and mutter something.
The next day, the brave team went straight to a town and met the informant Sabrina mentioned.
The family of four looked awkwardly at the brave team wearing expensive equipment, and couldn't figure out why these adults came to find them.
"Don't be nervous, we just want to ask a few questions and will leave soon." Maxim said softly.
Looking at Maxim's extremely friendly face, the family of four suddenly felt less nervous.
"You say, sir," the husband said boldly.
"We heard that you once had a close relationship with a snail-shaped monster. Is that true?" Maxim asked.
"It's true, but it's not us who have a close relationship with it, but my wife, Erin," said the husband.
Maxim looked at the hostess: "Can you tell me what happened in detail?"
"That happened ten years ago." The hostess calmed herself down and explained slowly.
Ten years ago, a girl found a very beautiful snail and took it home to raise. The snail grew bigger and bigger, and gradually showed excellent talents and powerful strength.
The story of the snail spread quickly, but it was also coveted. Finally, in a conspiracy, the snail defeated the conspiracy, but also left the town.
The girl had ordinary talents, and it knew that if it stayed by her side, it would only bring disaster to her, so it left the girl.
"Are you looking for Ram?" the hostess couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, did it do anything big?"
Ash, who had been observing this, looked at the snail next to him: "Rum? Didn't you say you don't have a name?"
Nas shook his antennae and said, "I can't use that name. It will spread too widely. Otherwise, my reputation will grow. More people will follow the clues and find her. She saved me, and I can't bring trouble to her."
"Oh." Ash nodded in understanding and didn't say anything more.
Looking back at the town, Maxim shook his head and said, "Not really. We just need to ask it for some help."
Then he asked, "Do you have any other way to contact it?"
The hostess wanted to say no, but then she said, "Yes, it sent me something when I got married, saying that I could contact it through that thing if I was in trouble or needed it."
