Chapter 330: Solved
Chapter 330: Solved
Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, Arena no.2
“See you outside Corey” Trip to Corey’s titled demon core proved to be more rewarding than I thought. Having achieved the purpose of me peeping into the titled demon core I bade goodbye to Demon Fire, Corey Park. I left in a hurry as I did not want Demon Fire asking how my vision was clear in the titled demon Core without actually being here. I preferred avoiding that question to lying to her because of our newfound relationship.
“You better surrender as soon as you go out or else you might not get a chance to later,” Corey warned me, it seems she no longer planned on having me surrender to her rather wanted to vent her accumulated irritation and anger by implicating as much physical pain as possible to me.
My purpose for peeping into Corey’s titled demon Core was to find the trick behind Corey’s immortal smoke monster. Which I was able to achieve triumphantly.
The smoke monsters are in fact smoke puppets formed in the projection of their original souls trapped in Corey’s titled demon Core. While the demon fire covering the arena acted as a projector.
The idea behind this was simple, the actual monster souls were trapped in the demon fire field inside Corey’s titled demon Core. The demon fire field on the arena was connected to the demon fire field in the titled demon Core through Corey. Using this connection the demon fire field on the arena would create smoke monster puppets in the image of the monsters trapped in the demon fire field inside Corey’s titled demon Core.
Since my attacks were unable to inflict any damage on the original monster soul and the demon fire could produce infinite smoke puppets it appeared as if the smoke monsters were immortal.
I was able to deduce this theory three incidents in Corey’s titled demon Core,
1. The first incident was when I was looking at the monster army in the demon fire field inside Corey’s titled demon core. I noticed a set of familiar monsters which appeared the same as the smoke monsters outside. Upon closer inspection, those black monsters turned out to be souls and they appeared to be imprisoned in the demon fire then covered in them.
2. The second incident was more like an experiment I conducted to confirm if the monster souls in the demon fire inside titled demon core are the same smoke monster outside. The experiment was simple. I had my Ego elementals outside engage in battle with the smoke monsters outside. As a result, the monsters I saw in the core were doing weird moves as if they were fighting when there was no opponent for them to fight. Demon fire was quick to hide them in the depths of the demon fire field but I had already seen enough to conclude my experiment with a positive result.
3. The third incident was when Demon Fire created a smokey black evening gown to cover her voluptuous body. This proved that Corey and demon fire both had enough control over the smoke from the demon fire to materialize perfect smoke puppets for the monster souls in the core to use. This Incident also answered the question of where did the smoke in demon fire come from? As the fire burning using the power of rules does not emit smoke.
It turns out the flames of demon fire did not just imprison the monster souls in the demon fire field but they were being burned, giving rise to the wailing sound and the smoke. The more the monster souls agonized the darker the smoke was.
Another thing I notice which is more like my hypothesis yet to be determined is that the monster souls are black because they are charred by the demon fire. The only way of conforming to this is by asking about this to Corey or Demon fire.
Having understood the trick behind the immortality of the smoke monsters summoned by Corey. Now I had to find a solution to this trick.
The obvious way to get rid of these smoke monsters would be to kill the monster souls trapped in the demon fire field of Corey’s titled demon core. But to do that I would have to enter Corey’s titled demon core in my spirit form. Then I will not only be facing both Corey and Corey Park. Corey was somebody I could handle with my current strength but the demon fire was unfathomable, through the conversation I had with her I am pretty sure she can easily wipe the floor with me.
Since the obvious way to get rid of the smoke monsters was beyond my current strength my mind once again circled to the idea of defeating the summoner to indirectly defeat the summons along with her. But seeing how I could not get past false immortal smoke monsters protecting Corey this way was pointless. By now I understood where Corey got her confidence to call her Smoke Monsters immortal.
I would have also been under the same assumption if not for me already having found a way to null Corey’s trick. Killing Smoke puppets was useless as Corey can make hundreds of thousands of them but what if I get rid of Corey’s smoke puppet production factory making it impossible for Corey to make any more smoke puppets.
By Corey’s smoke puppet production factory I mean the Demon fire Covering the arena and generating smoke puppets in the projection of their souls trapped in the demon fire inside Corey’s titled demon core.
The Demon fire field covering was creating the soul puppets and serving as the connection between monster souls trapped in the demon fire Corey’s titled demon core. So extinguishing the demon fire covering the arena would automatically get rid of the smoke puppet monsters. Without having to deal with Corey or her Demon fire, Corey Park.
Demon fire covering the arena seemed to be very tenacious. Luckily for me, I had already found its bane.
