Don't call me evil god

Chapter 374 Phase Transition
The arcane life forms were collectively frozen, which made the seekers of knowledge feel greatly relieved.

The one who changed all that was Nicole Ceylan, who was bound in chains.

To be precise, it should be the previous version of Nicole who was anxiously asking for help from everyone.

The evil smile disappeared from her face at some point.

Instead, there was an expression as if he was enduring great pain.

"Heroes, I can't hold on for much longer. Mother... the personality she used to replace me... can only be suppressed by me for a short time now!"

"I will reveal to you the core of those arcane life forms!"

"Please destroy them!"

The girl's guidance finally allowed the last 19 surviving believers to feel relieved.

There is a way to deal with these dangerous enemies!
A fist-sized, glittering thirty-dodecahedron gradually emerged from the stagnant energy ball.

The opportunity was precious and the light in the dungeon was poor. Pete could not see clearly what the energy core of the arcane life form looked like. He could only recognize that it was a very regular polyhedron.

“Is it really a standard polyhedron?”

Pete cried out in surprise.

During the discussion among the mages of the Magic Hermitage about the nature of "arcane energy", a powerful 6th-level legendary wizard once put forward a conjecture.

The legendary wizard believed that arcane energy was a type of extremely tiny particles that flowed in a dimension invisible to mortals - the magic web.

The appearance of this particle will be a standard icosahedron.

The basis for the conjecture is that the energy core of arcane life forms summoned by high-level wizards or naturally generated in some areas rich in arcane energy must be in the shape of a thirty-dodecahedron.

However, mages cannot directly make a conclusion about the appearance of arcane energy based on the situation of arcane life forms.

Therefore, this view can only be regarded as a conjecture at present.

However, it is a common consensus among many people that the number 32 is associated with the goddess of magic.

……

With the arcane lifeform's energy core exposed, the Seekers of Knowledge finally had a chance to cause some real damage.

Brandon was the closest, he rushed over and slashed with his sword!
The effect is remarkable!

In [The Secrets of All Things Revealed], the target's life was cut by 15% by this sword!

Nicole Ceylan, whose arms were bound and unable to move, could not help but groan in pain.

"It's okay... don't have to pity me, please... continue!"

She shares the same body with that crazy Nicole Ceylan.

Although arcane life forms are summoned by the latter, when they are damaged, the impact caused by the shock of the mental link acts directly on the flesh.

Pete also put down the short staff that assisted in casting spells, drew a dagger from his waist, and found an arcane life form to attack!

Although the energy core can be destroyed by physical attacks, it is still almost immune to magic.

Although Pete had little experience in fighting with swords, he was still able to treat his target as a piece of meat on a chopping board and chop him into pieces with all his might.

The damage isn't high, but it's better than nothing!
The believers surrounded the four stagnant arcane life forms and hacked at them for a full half minute. When their health was reduced to 4%, Nicole Ceylan, who was struggling to hold on, finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Heroes...please be careful!"

After issuing the warning, the girl's head drooped limply.

When he raised his head again, that cold and evil smile returned to his face.

"Mother's orders must not be disobeyed!"

"Please - go to hell!"

Pete realized what was about to happen and spoke loudly to warn the others:

"Keep your distance! Protect yourself!"

really.

As another Nicole Ceylan seized control of the body, the exposed energy cores of the arcane life forms were wrapped up again, and they also regained their normal ability to move. Amid the humming sound of energy vibrations, another surge of [Arcane Barrage] scattered out!

Pete has figured out the key to winning this battle!
They have to survive the almost endless, high-intensity bombardment from arcane life forms.

Until Nicole Ceylan, who was willing to help them, regained the body and revealed the energy core to them, they were using this brief window to unleash as much burst as possible and destroy the arcane lifeforms!

One to defend, one to attack.

The two stages are clearly separated and alternate with each other.

……

With the experience of the previous resistance, the battle scene this time was much more orderly.

Everyone relies on their own abilities and tries to dodge attacks that can be avoided.

If you really can't avoid it, just grit your teeth and eat it.

If the priests can spare some time, they can immediately cast a [Healing Spell] or a [Secondary Healing] which is simpler to chant prayers to barely recover the damage taken.

If you can't spare the time, you're on your own.

After holding on for a full 5 minutes, the other Nicole finally regained control of the body.

The energy core is revealed.

This time, there was no need for Nicole to urge them. Pete and the others rushed forward without any delay and attacked the exquisite standard 32-hedron with all their might!
40%!

30%!

20%!

10%!

Because of the preparation, all the explosive combat skills and divine arts that can be used are basically used here, and the life of the energy core is also rapidly decreasing.

Before the girl Nicole lost control of her body, the four arcane life forms finally emitted a low roar before dissipating.

"Woo buzz——"

Peace returned to the dungeon.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your help, heroes!"

Nicole Ceylan thanked him sincerely and tiredly.

Pete did not immediately step forward to untie the chains that bound her, but looked at her warily:
"Which one are you now?"

"Why did this happen?"

The girl smiled bitterly and explained:
"Please rest assured that I am the real Nicole Ceylan who is on your side."

"Destroying those arcane life forms has had a significant impact on her. She won't have the energy to fight me for control of her body in the short term."

After saying that, Nicole made a slight gesture to Pete: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chinal, it was another me who caused you to be taken to the castle earlier."

"I didn't know anything at that time. When I lost control of my body, I knew nothing about the outside world."

"Glad to see you're still alive!"

"She is a personality designed by my mother using illusions. Once I do something that does not meet my mother's expectations, she will take away my body and put everything back on track."

"Mother does not allow me to contact anyone from any other church, whether it is the Church of the Radiant God, the Church of Illusion, or your Church of the Seeking of Knowledge."

"I once tried to seek help from the Glorious God Cult, but failed, and my mother punished me severely for it."

"Now the only ones I can put my hope in are you!"

"Please stop my mother!"
