"I'm in the fog forest now. I can wait for you two at the entrance."
Lelly replied soon. He had been staying in the fog forest with Kira these days, the distance he needed to move is not very far. And Edward was always around the fog forest, so the two of them could meet first.
Dick agreed and hurried to the fog forest.
Now the sun was about to set. They could start hunting the evil ape when they gathered together.
"I didn't expect that the three of us would have the chance to hunt together. I thought Dick wouldn't come back to this forest after he was promoted to LV18."
Edward teased. The three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter when they thought of the situation when they fought against Mundo.
"Well, let's stop gossiping. We came to the fog forest because the dark castle in the task is here. And the way to enter the dark castle is also in this forest."
Dick clapped his hands and said to Lelly and Edward. He drew the appearance of the evil ape on the ground with his fingers and pointed at the picture to them.
"This is the most basic magical beast in the dark castle. When I met them, I was only LV15. Their talent is called dark erosion, which is a kind of smog talent. If you are hit, your blood vitality, energy and experience points will decrease."
"You must pay attention to their talent. Once you are hit by the smoke, only by killing them can the experience points stop decreasing. And I haven't entered the dark castle before. I don't know how many strange magical beasts are inside."
Dick took a deep breath and told them.
"Although your talent has a strong restraining effect on the dark creatures, your level is not high enough. Once you are in danger, I will let you retreat. You will never turn around!"
Dick looked at Edward and Lelly. He breathed a sigh of relief until they nodded seriously.
The situation in the dark castle must be extremely complicated. He didn't want Edward and Lelly to risk their lives to go deeper with him.
He was sure that he could escape, but he was not confident to do that with Edward and Lelly.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm capable of. If something happens, we won't cause you any trouble."
Lelly said loudly, shrugging his shoulders. But there was also a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. He didn't want Dick to face the danger alone, and he didn't want Dick to undertake all the matters related to the survival of the whole Green-Hand Village.
"Well, since you all understand, let's go. Remember, the evil ape likes corpses with blood. We only need to attract eight more apes to get runes for you to enter the dark castle."
Dick urged. Their goal tonight was to enter the dark castle, not to hunt the evil ape. If they attracted too much, it would affect their task progress.
As the night fell, the three of them quietly lurked in the fog forest. In the center of the forest in front of them, a magical beast's chest was cut. The smell of the blood slowly drifted away along with the wind in the forest.
"Pay attention to the top of our heads. The evil ape usually doesn't go down the tree to move. Be careful not to be attacked from above."
Dick whispered to his two companions.
Edward and Lelly agreed and bent over the grass more carefully.
The leaves above his head shook. Edward looked up carefully.
He covered his mouth with his hand all of a sudden, trying hard to control himself from making any sound. There were a large number of green sparkles, looking fiercely in the direction of the magical beast's corpse.
"They are coming! Wait a minute. You can attack as soon as you see my action. Remember not to be touched by the black smoke they give out. We have to guarantee that we will enter the dark castle in good condition."
Dick said to his two friends.
Those evil apes were already crazy because of the stimulation of the blood. They jumped down from the tree and crazily tore the bloody corpses.
Dick narrowed his eyes and looked at the treetop with the help of the talent of visual mutation. Although these evil apes were powerful, they didn't seem to have a high IQ. They didn't even leave any vigilant evil apes to stand sentry.
But it also gave Dick great convenience.
In the darkness, a light flashed and extinguished, enveloping all the evil apes.
Illusory shock forcefully dragged these dark creatures into the illusion. Even if they had strong talent, they wouldn't be able to release it in a few seconds.
Lelly's movements were very fast. The moment Dick used his skill, he smashed the big hammer in his hand on the ground. Countless bolts of thunder formed a brilliant and dazzling shield and pushed the evil apes into the sky.
There was a circle of bright lightning around their bodies. The strong suppressive effect made these evil apes unable to move even if they woke up from the illusions.
"God said that light is needed, so there is light in the world. It can break through darkness and devil, and purify the world!"
Edward sang in a high voice, holding a gorgeous wand in his hand and wearing a robe on him.
A dazzling light was emitted from the top of the wand, forming a brilliant nebula in the sky above the fog forest.
Streaks of light fell from the sky and sprinkled on the bodies of these evil apes.
The evil apes roared. They swayed their limbs, looking funny and ridiculous under the light. The dark smoke around them was fading away under the light.
Together with their bodies, they turned into nothingness because of the light of purification.
This time, they killed 12 evil apes. As the final killer, Edward gained more experience. However, at this time, he looked at the wand in his hand with confusion.
"It's strange. Normally, this light doesn't have much effect on those magical beasts, and sometimes it can even help the magical beasts to dispel the negative state. Why does it become so powerful this time?"
Dick said with a smile, patting Edward on the shoulder.
"Don't forget that not all the magical beasts are dark. Your talent for purification naturally has little effect on those magical beasts who are not that dark."
He walked forward and picked up the pieces of magical runes on the ground.
"Well, let's go."
