Chapter 131

Adam frowned as he watched the monster roll around. At this rate, all the buildings in the city would be destroyed.

"Did you kill the apprentice who summoned it?" Adam asked the Devil.

The Devil hurriedly nodded. "Yes, I did. That kid was very weak. After being hit by the negative energy, he started to hurt himself like a madman. He died very quickly."

Adam was deep in thought. This should be the reason why the Aum family, which he and the other war mages thought to be the weakest, was able to gain a foothold on Ceylon Island. The ancient mages were probably all mentally ill, and the negative energy magic would spread the illness and cause the mind to lose control.

Adam summoned a huge thunderbolt and struck the monster. After that, he turned around and flew out of the city. The monster's master was already dead. Without anyone to control it, it had no intelligence. Seeing Adam running away, it did not hesitate to chase after him.

After leaving the city, Adam completely let go of his hands and feet. All kinds of powerful magic were thrown at the Devil Beasts one after another. The Devil Beasts simply had no ability to resist. The Doppelganger ability that had once caused trouble for Adam was now a joke to Adam.

"Master, I'll help you kill it!" After the battle, the Devil slipped out from behind Adam and looked at the dying monster on the ground and said eagerly.

Adam swept it aside with a kick. He took out the rusty knife and dropped it beside the monster. Then, he directly stabbed the knife into the monster's head.

The rust on the knife began to dissolve into the monster's body. The monster trembled violently. For the first time, Adam saw emotions other than the instinct to kill and destroy in its eyes. It was afraid, but it was as if its body had been frozen and could not move.

The knife emitted light. At the same time, the monster's body began to collapse from its tail. Instead of its flesh falling out, it rushed into the knife through its torso. The movement of the flesh was so fast that the monster began to squirm unnaturally. However, it could not even do something as simple as opening its mouth to roar. It could only watch as its body was gradually hollowed out.

The stench became thinner and thinner, and the plants under the monster's body began to straighten up again. With a soft pop, the knife broke free from the monster's head and returned to its mottled appearance, falling to the ground.

Adam waved his hand and took it back. There was still some residual heat on the blade. It didn't feel like metal, but more like a living thing.

"Master, this thing makes me feel a little disgusted." The Devil quickly dodged to the side.

Facing Adam's questioning gaze, it scratched its head and said in distress, "That bastard, it seems to like this thing very much. It wants to eat this knife."

Adam thought for a moment, then walked toward the Devil with the knife. The Devil panicked and wanted to escape, but he found himself nailed to the spot. "Master, no, take that damn thing away. Stay away from me!"

Adam ignored it and slowly approached the Devil. As the distance between them shortened, the Devil's body began to mutate. The chaotic energy that had appeared before filled the air. Its will and body began to fluctuate unstably, and its expression rapidly changed between ferocious and panicked.

"Master …"

Adam was satisfied with the Devil's pleas and put the knife back into the dimensional pocket. This knife could lure out the Devil's Abyss personality, which was very important. It saved Adam a lot of unnecessary effort. This way, when he needed to use the Abyss personality for his future research, it would be easier to summon it.

After the knife disappeared, the Devil heaved a sigh of relief. It no longer dared to stay outside. After getting Adam's permission, it quickly returned to the mind. Adam, on the other hand, returned to the devastated city.

After obtaining the experimental equipment for mutated creatures from the demon's city, Adam flew to the other target cities without stopping. In a week's time, he had crossed three regions and raided six cities.

Compared to the forces of the Aum family, the defenses of these three families were very lax. Adam guessed that these three families were located inland, and although the trial apprentices' teleportation points were scattered, they were all located near the coast.

However, this was good news for Adam. After looting the resources he needed as fast as he could, he took the Devil and plunged into the wasteland.

"Master, why are we here?"

Adam was wrapped in runes and slowly sank into the ground. In the dark underground, the runes mysteriously penetrated the rocks and soil. Adam was busy using earth elemental magic to build an underground space as a temporary laboratory. He took the time to say, "There's a new idea that needs to be tested."

The Devil floated beside him, puzzled. The soil and rocks could not hinder its body. "But, didn't the lord of the Holy Tower say that merit points are limited? Won't the experiment take a long time? What if the rest of the apprentices harvest all the merit points? Killing people will only deduct merit points. "

Adam had been very friendly to the Devil recently. In the past, he would not even answer the Devil's questions. But now, he took out a map and even divided a thread to answer the Devil's question. "Ceylon Island is divided into fifteen parts. Six of them are near the coast. All the trial apprentices are teleported to this area."

Adam moved his finger, and a large area of soil was turned into rocks by magic, making the simple underground space sturdy.

"It will take a long time for them to break through the gradually tightening defense circle. But my experiment, if successful, will be able to produce results in a few months." Adam patted the Devil's head and said in a tone that made the Devil's hair stand on end, "But, I need your cooperation."

The Devil's hair stood on end, and its body twisted. Just as it was about to escape, it found itself being led by Adam into the depths of the underground like a puppet on a string.

"Master, I don't think this is right. The merit points should not be given to others for free. I can harvest it for you, and you only need to focus on the experiment …"

The iron sand under Adam's feet rose and quickly gathered into a huge cage. Electric current flowed on the cage, and a strong magnetic field was created. Then, he threw the Devil into the cage. "No, without you, well, or the Abyssal body in your body, my experiment cannot continue, so …"

The Devil crazily rushed into the cage, enduring the pain of being hit by the electric current and magnetic field. It begged, "No, master, please, don't do this!"

Adam was indifferent. Instead, he increased the output of the magnetic field and electric current. While putting a small mountain of Ether crystals and flesh of various creatures into the cage, he comforted the Devil. "Don't worry, I won't kill you. And this is good for you. As long as you are willing to cooperate, maybe I can help you solve the problem of the Abyssal personality soon."
