Chapter 2863 Rebirth From the Ashes
Considering Dr. Saul's extraordinary status in Odis, even if he died completely, he might be resurrected by the mastermind Noah, so Joan took out the "soul-binding bottle" and collected Dr. Saul's soul to eliminate future troubles forever.
The souls of Dr. Saul and his assistants flew out of the sea of fire one by one, and were put into a bottle by Joan and sealed, except for the soul of the "mind-trapping tree rope demon" Shakluf.
How is this going?
In the middle of the scorching fire, Joan felt a bit of chill.
Shakluf was obviously killed by the fireball, so why isn't his soul here?
There must be something wrong here!
Joan twisted ten eye stalks, looked around, and searched for any place in the hall that might be hiding, but found nothing unusual for the time being.
Could it be that Shahcroft fled the scene before the fireball exploded?
With doubts, Joan drew a "power of myth" to display the "myth remote viewing technique" he invented, and searched for Shakluf's whereabouts.
Spells or abilities below the legendary level, including the "mind barrier", cannot completely block the tracking of the "mythical remote viewing technique".
Shakluf's strength is not bad, but he is still far from the legendary realm, and if he escapes for a while, he will inevitably show his fox's tail.
Joan turned one eye stalk, followed the direction locked by the "myth remote viewing technique", and his gaze stayed on the bookshelf lit by the fire.
The classics and scrolls that were neatly arranged on the bookshelf have been scorched. If you carefully observe the dancing flames, you can faintly see a faint silver light, which is the sign of the radiation of spiritual energy.
"It turned out to be hiding here."
Looking at the abnormal flame, Joan already understood the reason for Shakluf's mysterious disappearance.
Shakluf, the soul-absorbing tree rope demon, is a level 17 "kinetic user" who is proficient in the "psychic transformation" ability.
The "Mind Transformation Department" has a level 5 ability called "Rebirth from the Ashes", which comes with an instant function. This ability is activated the moment the manifester suffers fatal damage, and there are candlesticks, torches, With an open fire source like a campfire, the soul can automatically escape into the fire at the moment of physical death, hide, spend a whole day reshaping the physical body, and then appear from the side of the fire source.
Even if Shakluf could be seen hiding in the fire, it would not be so easy to find him.
Directly extinguishing the flame that Shakluf lives in cannot destroy his soul, and it is likely to trigger "rebirth from the ashes" again, forcing his soul to flee to other nearby fire sources.
With Shakluf's manifest level, he can escape into any open flame up to 270 feet away from him.
The big explosion made by Joan just now has already blasted the stone tower where Saul's laboratory is located into ruins, and the surrounding area is full of blazing flames.
Unless all the open flames within 270 feet around the bookshelves are extinguished in advance, after extinguishing the pile of flames Shakluf is hiding in, there is no telling where his soul will flee.
Joan was too lazy to play "hide-and-seek" with the spirit sucking tree rope demon, and after a little thought, he came up with a more effective method than extinguishing the fire.
Open the storage bag, take out a piece of black agate, and cast 8-ring "Soul Binding" on the flame where Shakluf is hiding.
Shakluf escaped into the fire and was unable to move independently before reshaping his body. His soul merged with the flames, which was equivalent to a mass of fire elemental creatures.
Joan performed the "Soul Imprisonment Technique" on him, which could directly extract his soul from the flame body and seal it in the black agate, and the silver halo of psionic energy in the flame would also be annihilated.
"See where you can go!"
Joan put away the black agate that imprisoned Shakluf's soul, searched the stone tower carefully from bottom to top, and confirmed that there were no omissions, then floated out of the tower, turned back into a flesh and blood body, and met the two warlords .
Mana and Kessandra, just now heard the terrifying explosion sound from the stone tower, and then saw billowing flames gushing out through the doors and windows. They thought that Dr. Saul was summoning a powerful monster from hell or the abyss, which frightened her The two quickly led their subordinates to retreat.
Just when he didn't know why, he saw a group of familiar figures floating out of the tower, and couldn't help but look at each other.
"Mitra, why are you here?" Mana asked first.
"Master Mana, of course I'm here to help you and Lord Kessandra deal with those damn stinky octopuses!" Joan replied straightforwardly.
"Only you?" Xandra asked in surprise.
"There are also Lord Slaoga, Lashinu, and Saoirse. They are still blocking the mind flayers who came to support them on the opposite street. I came first by myself." Joan told the truth.
"What's going on in Tari?" Xandra asked further.
"I killed all the people inside, and destroyed all the experimental equipment that could be destroyed." Joan replied as if nothing had happened.
The two warlords turned their heads to look at each other, with expressions of disbelief in their eyes, and hurriedly flew into the tower.
After personally inspecting the ruins of Saul's laboratory, Mana and Kessandra were convinced that Mitra was not bragging, and really killed Dr. Saul and his henchmen on their own, and destroyed the laboratory that had cultivated many powerful labs. The abnormal laboratory of monsters.
"Mitra, we have often heard people talk about your deeds in the past two years. We did not expect that you are more powerful than the legends. No wonder the Supreme and the Prime Minister value you very much."
Kessandra's words sounded appreciative, but she couldn't hide her sour taste.
Joan knew very well that beholders rarely praised others, and the most sincere compliments were inevitably mixed with jealousy. It was not easy for Kessandra to say such things.
"It is precisely because I am strong enough that I am worthy of the appreciation of the Supreme and the Prime Minister."
Qiao An is usually a very humble person, but it seems too unsuitable to be modest when brought into the role of Mitra.
"But having said that, if it weren't for the two warlords who attracted most of the enemy's energy outside the tower, it would not be so easy for me to sneak into the tower and destroy it. When I report the battle situation to the Supreme and the Prime Minister later, I will emphasize this. A fact."
"Well said, Sister Mitra, you are very sensible! We all have credit for successfully destroying Saul's laboratory this time."
A rare smile appeared on Kessandra's ferocious face, and her attitude towards Mitra improved significantly.
Joan publicly stated that she didn't want to take the credit for herself, which also satisfied Mana and other beholder nobles, and her jealousy towards her was not as strong as before.
"Mitra, that guy Elmetti has always disliked you and often speaks ill of you in private, but don't worry, Kessandra and I both hate Elmetti, and if you two have conflicts, we will I will stand by your side." Mana lowered her voice and made a small report.
