Chapter 1573 Two Evils
"I called you, not to accept you as a 'Demon Pet', but to borrow something from you."
Joan made a spell-casting gesture, gathering negative energy in his palm.
"Borrow what?" the little devil asked suspiciously.
"Serce!"
Joan chanted a mantra representing "blood" and waved out the disaster beetle.
The swarm immediately surrounded the little devil, sucking blood frantically.
The little devil screamed and fled with his head in his arms, bumped into the barrier formed by the "anti-evil magic circle", was bounced back again, fell to the ground and struggled, cursing Joan with all his foul language.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the little devil's blood was sucked.
Realizing that he was powerless to resist, the little devil stopped cursing, and with the last bit of strength, he inserted his sharp claws into his chest, ripped out his heart, crushed it, and laughed hysterically at the same time.
"What are you doing?" Joan asked in surprise.
"Despicable mage...you want my blood? Hahahaha...I'd rather kill myself, spill my noble blood on the ground, and be stained by the mud, than cheapen you for nothing!"
Joan remained silent, deeply shocked by the madness and cruelty of this demon.
They are also extremely evil creatures, but devils and demons express their evil nature in two completely different ways.
The devil is the "evil" within the rules. There are rules to follow, and the motives often come from ambition and greed. In order to achieve their goals, they will spare no effort to plan conspiracies and tricks. As long as they can be exchanged for greater benefits, there is nothing that cannot be sold .
The devil does evil for the sake of gain, and he doesn't mind doing good once in a while if it brings more good - though it's just hypocrisy.
You may not be able to morally agree with the devil's behavior, but you have to admit that they have achieved the ultimate in maximizing their own interests, which is acceptable even in human society.
The "evil" of the devil is the "evil of chaos". Most of the time, they do not have motives to do evil, just like a group of crazy lunatics, who do not see a coherent logic in their actions, and do not consider the consequences at all.
Devils do not always bring benefits to themselves. If they cannot control their crazy impulses, they can do stupid things that harm others and benefit themselves.
For example, the little devil called by Joan, if it gave up struggling, it might not necessarily die—the little devil just now returned home alive.
The little devil knew that it was best for him to lie flat, but he didn't do it. He would rather commit suicide than make Qiao An sick. For no other reason, he got crazy and wanted to have fun!
Well, it's gone fast.
Joan is not happy, and he doesn't intend to let it go so easily.
Under normal circumstances, even if alien creatures such as demons and devils die in the material world, their souls will return to the original plane and be reincarnated, but they may be punished by downgrading.
But there is more than one way to prevent demon spirits from returning to the Abyss.
Joan, who was irritated by the little devil, just knew one of the most effective methods.
He took out the "soul-binding bottle" from the storage bag and recited the incantation. The mouth of the bottle immediately produced a strong gravitational force, sucking the little devil's soul out of the corpse and sealing it in the bottle.
Unless Qiao An took the initiative to release the soul of this lunatic, it would never return to its hometown in this life.
After patting the "soul binding bottle", Qiao An finally let out a bad breath.
Sure enough, "no comparison, no harm". Compared with the unreasonable little devil, even the flirtatious slut "Pippi" looks much cuter.
Although some unpleasant things happened, Joan finally completed the first stage of work, and the collected devil blood essence and devil essence blood can be used in the next stage of experiments.
Next, Joan plans to test all the spells of the conjuration school "summoning subtype" that he currently masters, with two kinds of demon blood essence.
Candidate summoning spells include 1st to 4th level "Monster Summoning", 2nd level "Flying Insects and Beasts", and 4th level "Bee Swarm Cloak" just learned yesterday.
Joan first came to test the 1st to 4th level "monster summoning technique".
For each level of "monster summoning", there are infinite types of creatures that can be summoned. As long as the vitality level of the creature does not exceed the upper limit of the magic power of the summoning technique, it can be successfully summoned.
It is impossible for Joan to test infinitely many samples one by one, and there is no need for this. It is enough to select a group of typical organisms as samples.
After some careful consideration, Joan decided to choose adult lynxes (commonly known as big bobcats), leopards, lionesses and male tigers as experimental subjects.
These four creatures are the strongest creatures that can be summoned by the 1st to 4th-level "Monster Summoning Technique".
The choice of these four "big cats" of different sizes as experimental subjects was not because Joan liked cats or deliberately persecuted cats, but because these cats had many similarities in physiology and habits, so they were more unique. comparability.
Using this series of felines for experiments can eliminate to the greatest extent possible external factors that may interfere with the experimental results, making it easier to control variables and highlight correlations.
The hall of Moriarty's laboratory is very spacious, surrounded by a force field wall, Joan can pass freely, but summoned creatures cannot pass through.
In order to facilitate group comparisons, Joan slightly adjusted the layout of the laboratory, first dividing the hall in half, and then dividing it into eight small rooms. All walls are transparent force fields, which can ensure that the ferocious big cat There is nowhere to escape, and it will not prevent Joan from observing outside.
After arranging the experimental site, Joan began to cast spells. The 1st to 4th-level "Monster Summoning" was cast twice, and a total of lynxes, leopards, lionesses, and tigers were summoned. They were divided into experimental groups and control groups— —The control group used the usual summoning method, while the experimental group added "devil's blood essence" as a spell-casting material.
Eight big cats, each occupying a force field hut, circling restlessly in the small room, meowing and roaring.
Summoned creatures will instinctively obey the summoner's orders, but these beasts have low intelligence levels and can only perform simple tasks such as "attack", "warning" or "tracking".
Joan didn't have any tasks assigned to these big cats, so he turned on "Advanced Internal Vision", and first came to check the experimental animals in the control group.
