Chapter 101 The Beast of Thought
The flying beast's hands emitted a silvery-white light, and it pierced through the barrier to Wu Ku's astonishment.
Impossible! What kind of ability is this?!
Wu Ku wanted to leave, but it was too late. The demons were faster than humans, and the flying beast's claws pierced through the barrier.
"Sizzle."
Wu Ku opened his eyes wide and slowly lowered his head. A sharp claw pierced his chest, and blood flowed from his mouth.
He felt no pain, but he couldn't understand why his defenses were ineffective, why this beastly demon's attack could penetrate his defenses. It was illogical, beyond his previous understanding, something that should never have happened, yet it did.
The defenses were still there, but the attack had already landed on him.
The Flying Beast Demon still had a smile on his lips. With a wave of his hand, Wu Ku was sent flying, crashing into a large number of trees. The man lay on the ground with all his ribs broken.
With his brain damaged and his vision obstructed, he couldn't see the road ahead. He struggled to his feet. He couldn't fall down now, and he couldn't die here, otherwise the adult's plan to become a god would fail.
He may die, but not now, after the great man becomes a god.
His ears were filled with blood, making it impossible to hear anything outside. His vision was also obstructed, with most of his field of vision in darkness, and he could only barely see a small portion of it.
"Just as planned, it truly is invincible." Jiuying smiled. It was worth the long time he spent. Even though it was just a great monarch, its true terror lay not in its raw power.
Soon these people will understand just how terrifying this flying beast is, and they will regret making enemies of the Nine-Headed Serpent.
"Silver-white radiance, spatial element?" Hua Xiao acted, instantly appearing in front of Wu Ku and blocking the flying beast demon.
Although Wu Ku deserves to die, he cannot die yet. He must be captured and interrogated for information. He is a high-ranking member of the Black Vatican and knows clues about other members. They have finally discovered the clue about Wu Ku and cannot easily give up.
Hua Xiao has three pairs of wings behind her, which are high-level wind magic, spatial magic, and wind magic. The speed of the wind wings, combined with the instantaneous movement, makes it look like she has instantly moved to this location.
The flying beast also possesses spatial radiance; such a thing shouldn't happen.
While some magic originates from demons, such as Western magic originating from dragons and Greek magic from the Titans, these are merely origins.
Even when those demons used fire, water, or spatial abilities, no magical radiance appeared. These things are only possible for magicians who possess star power.
As for demons, that's even more impossible; they're just creatures created by the Black Church using evil magic and cannot use magic.
but……
Sitting in Hua Xiao's position, she knew more or less about the origins of the beast demons, which was what worried her the most.
Perhaps this beast was originally... a powerful spatial mage.
"Can you stand up?" After Hua Xiao arrived, the beast demon calmed down a lot. Unlike Wu Ku, Hua Xiao was truly powerful, with terrifying ice magic, instantaneous spatial magic, wind magic that made it impossible for people to keep up, and a hidden elemental magic.
This level of intensity is not on the same level as Wu Ku's, so we must be extra careful.
Monarch-level demons all possess intelligence, and beast demons are also monarch-level, but due to their creation process and mode of existence, they possess a great deal of intelligence. However, this specially crafted beast demon is different.
He possesses intelligence equivalent to that of a human, so he can do everything on his own without needing to be commanded.
"It's alright, but you need to be careful. I don't have any information about this beast demon. Before he was turned into a beast demon, he was probably a very powerful mage." Wu Ku rubbed his head, clearly feeling unwell.
His chest was empty, but a mage of his caliber wouldn't die so easily; his heart was still intact, and he could still have fun.
Simple treatments were possible, and with Hua Xiao standing in front of him, he felt much more at ease.
"Any clues?"
"No, the master is not keen on studying beast demons, believing that such things are not very useful. The only one who may know about them is Jiuying."
Now they are on the same side, and Wu Ku is willing to share intelligence, but he has no information about this beast demon.
"This is troublesome."
"It's a bit troublesome. His attack seems to transcend space, and my defenses are useless," Wu Ku warned.
"I know, he himself is not in this space." Hua Xiao's voice was somewhat low. She was a space-type mage, and a space-type mage at the ninth level.
The limit of human spiritual power is nine, and she is at the ninth level. This is the limit of humanity. Her spatial magic is equivalent to the Great Celestial level of the elemental magic.
"Even though you're not in this space, you seem to know something?" Wu Ku narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have some recollection of that person from back then.
The beast demon stood at a distance, not moving, looking for an opportunity. In a battle of this level, one cannot blindly charge forward. In a situation where the forces are evenly matched, one must consider the timing of one's attack.
Jiuying understood this principle and did not urge the beast demon. He remained calm and composed, like a mountain.
He had already prepared an escape route and could leave at any time.
"Back then, there was someone whose spatial magic reached this level, outside of the real world." Hua Xiao's voice was deep, and her eyes, which looked like those of a beast demon, became even sharper, as if she wanted to slice the beast demon apart to analyze its origin.
"Beast demons don't inherit what people used to have, but Jiuying might have some unknown methods. Speaking of mages who aren't in this space, I think of one too." Wu Ku glanced at Hua Xiao, his expression unchanged, but his eyes became increasingly sharp.
"The previous Supreme Judge had this ability, didn't he? He was hailed as the most powerful space-type mage in the country precisely because of this. Now you suspect..."
Wu Ku didn't say it explicitly, but both of them knew what they were talking about.
"There's only this one left." Wu Ku searched his mind, but apart from that one, there was no other space mage who could not exist in the present.
"Mind Beast!" Wu Ku completely lost his contempt for Jiu Ying and relaxed about it. He was indeed qualified to stand on the same stage as the adults and compete.
"In other words, you didn't retrieve the body of the former Supreme Judge, nor did the spirit beast within him return."
After a long silence, Hua Xiao finally nodded.
This made Wu Ku realize that things were in trouble, that something big was going to happen.
No wonder Jiuying has always been so fearless; no wonder, so that's how it is.
Hua Yang's corpse, along with the Mind Beast, a space-type divine beast.
This……
"It's not certain yet," Hua Xiao reminded Wu Ku, who was still unwilling to believe that her teacher had become like this.
"No...it's certain now!"
