Mystic Dominator

"..."

Ronald did not answer Nicole's inquiry immediately.

Because to be honest, he is a little unclear about the situation underneath and what is going on.

On the surface, these white liquids are obviously some kind of special inorganic substance. Even though it carries special magic power, it is not essentially a substance that can constitute the main body of life.

However, this is just common sense under a normal world view.

Ronald has not forgotten that he now exists in a world with magic. And the thing that made him go deep into the Arctic land to track down was a dust behemoth with abilities that exceeded common sense in all aspects.

A life whose size is unbelievable.

No one can guarantee whether the other party has other powers beyond imagination.

Briefly recall the two that Ronald himself encountered.

One of them is a deep sea monster lurking in the cave under the sea, and the other is a huge mountain and rock monster sleeping under the forest and integrated with the earth and rocks.

So is there a possibility?

This dust giant sleeping in the Arctic also has its own unique and special situation.

Ronald made a bold guess in his mind.

Maybe these white substances are what the other party looks like when he is sleeping.

Only when it wakes up from its slumber will it reveal its true form as a life.

"..."

"Hey! Ronald, look down there!"

Just when Ronald was hesitating, Nicole, who was held in his arms, suddenly stretched out her right hand, pointed downwards and shouted:

"Exactly the same!"

"That's the kind of white mist we encountered before!"

I was awakened by this reminder.

Ronald, who was still considering the choice of spells, instantly broke away from his thoughts.

Looking in the direction Nicole pointed,

He immediately discovered something that alerted the investigator girl.

Right on top of these white glowing liquids.

In some places, a thin layer of white mist will rise on the surface as time goes by!

The mist that appeared should have filled the closed cave, or gradually penetrated into the soil, and finally penetrated upward little by little.

But at this time, the underground cave had a large opening at the top due to the effect of Nicole's spell, so the white mist floated upward along this path.

During this process.

This white mist begins to change its shape in the air.

The originally vaporized mist gradually condensed and solidified, and finally condensed together and turned into a colloid-like texture.

While Ronald and Nicole observed its changes.

These mists that have taken on physical form have vaguely shown human postures.

"..."

Witnessing the process of this white mist coming from nothing and finally condensing into an entity, Ronald naturally frowned:

"Nicole, the white mist you encountered before, are all the monsters they turn into humanoid?"

The investigator girl immediately replied:

"not really."

"As we go along, these guys will not only imitate the appearance of us humans, but they will also not let go of the insects around them. There are quite a lot of types."

"..."

"That's not right."

After listening to Nicole's answer.

Ronald's already somewhat solemn expression became more serious.

Because the facts at this moment are different from what the investigator girl said. Around them, all the entities condensed in the white mist are all human-shaped creatures, and none of them are non-human beings!

"Two possibilities."

"First, we have special luck, so what condenses here happens to be human nature; second, these white mists are purposefully observing the life around them, thereby imitating their corresponding appearance."

In contrast, Ronald is still cautiously speculating on the underlying reasons behind this change.

Nicole's reaction was much more direct.

The investigator girl felt that she had recovered nearly half of her strength. With a smile on her lips, she even took the initiative to touch her own gun in Ronald's arms:

"Ronald, my suggestion is to kill them directly, and then see if there is any special reaction to the things underneath."

"We're not here for peaceful negotiations anyway, so why should we be so cautious?"

Nicole's performance was as simple and direct as ever, but Ronald did not follow her temper this time.

"Nicole, this is not a question of being cautious or not."

"If they were ordinary enemies, I wouldn't even be interested in watching them condense entities here."

"If we act haphazardly now, we may make big mistakes. Once the Arctic glaciers melt, no one wants to see the consequences."

Stopped Nicole's impulse.

Ronald also began to mobilize his spells again.

To confirm information about unknown things, the original sin of greed in "Purgatory" is naturally more useful.

It's just a matter of taking into account the spell usage interval and the current situation.

Ronald did not detect the white mist that was still forming solid matter around him. Instead, after activating the spell, he directly pointed the detection target at the huge white liquid lake below.

——Dust Behemoth: Shirakawa

——Waking up [Two weeks remaining...]

——The existence of Shirakawa will greatly reduce the surrounding temperature, thereby affecting the climate to a certain extent. This phenomenon will disappear immediately after his death.

While it's sleeping.

Shirakawa will convert into a unique liquid form, and its body will naturally secrete white mist, simulating the hunting of surrounding creatures, and carrying out periodic supply activities for the sleeping Shirakawa.

"..."

"It's really this guy."

Ronald muttered something.

After confirming that the essence of the liquid below was the dust behemoth's body, in addition to his joy at finding the target, he also casually moved his hands around a few times and dug out a few stones from the surrounding soil.

Immediately, the burning [Power of the Sun] covered it and threw it towards the white colloidal humanoids that were forming.

Brush brush brush——

After confirming the situation, Ronald acted quickly and accurately.

Before these white colloids were completely formed, the stones directly penetrated their bodies, and were then quickly burned by the [Power of Sunlight].

It didn't even have time to pose a threat.

The enemies that were still forming around them disappeared from the sight of the two of them.

After witnessing the scene that happened in front of her eyes, Nicole naturally understood it.

"Ronald, are you confirming the situation now?"

"Yes, this is the dust beast." Ronald nodded to confirm the situation, and then he did not hide much, and immediately introduced the things below to the investigator girl, "I confirmed this thing through my own magic .”

"This guy's name is Shirakawa, and he's still two weeks away from fully waking up."

"And our goal now is to let it continue to sleep without killing it. The longer the better."
