Chapter 1218 - 488: Seal
"You say you’ve already advanced to the Sixth Stage?"
Alka asked Jason in the dream realm, looking to his side.
Jason nodded, "I successfully advanced half a month ago, but spent some time getting familiar with my powers after advancing.
After all, the Sixth Stage is a significant hurdle, with a much greater increase in strength compared to the Fifth Stage, requiring more time."
"What about now?"
"I’m about ready; we can head to the Demon-Defending Fortress."
Upon hearing this, Alka nodded.
Recently, he’d been wondering why Jason hadn’t yet advanced to the Sixth Stage, only to find out he was getting used to his powers.
"When do you estimate you’ll arrive?" Alka couldn’t help but ask.
Upon Alka’s inquiry, Jason turned to look at him.
It wasn’t typical for Alka to rush these kinds of matters, so Jason thought about it and couldn’t help but smile, asking, "Could you be having some trouble on the front line?"
Hearing this, Alka smiled helplessly without hiding anything and simply nodded.
"That’s right; I’m being restrained by a demon targeting me, which is quite bothersome. Given my current strength, I don’t have many ways to deal with it."
Even though he had many treasures and worked well with them together, it didn’t change the fact that the enemy was two-headed.
Similar to Jason, it should be a 2-in-1.
Lately, Akka had been gathering information specifically about this demon targeting him, trying to figure out what it was.
The information came from the other side of the Demon Defense Wall; this demon mainly appeared there and rarely showed up before the Demon-Defending Fortress, clearly sent to deal with Alka.
The demon’s attack capability was that of a rapid spiral appearing at various places, with strong control effects to absorb or restrict people within a certain area.
Then there was its instant-killing capability, and the exceedingly swift attack, tainted with some rule-like black feathers.
But that’s not the main issue. The reason it targeted Alka was that its physique seemed hardly affected by elements.
This resulted in Alka’s primary attack methods being suppressed.
The demon was full elemental resistance, which was ridiculous.
Moreover, its fusion was with the one-eyed demon on its shoulder that could perceive spatial fluctuations.
This one-eyed demon also had extremely strong mental defense.
Furthermore, according to the records, it didn’t previously have this one-eyed demon on its shoulder, clearly combined to target Alka.
The combination restricted Alka’s spatial abilities and the mental damage constructed by his dream realm.
Alka later tried trapping it in the reverse mirror space, but it could quickly escape through the one-eyed demon.
Plus, the demon was inherently a full stage stronger than Alka, with rule capabilities equivalent to possessing two or three Holy Grail-level treasures.
This left Alka without many ways to deal with this demon for half a month, and he occasionally got injured.
Initially, the demon came charging to eliminate Alka aggressively, forcing him to remain focused and alert.
However, gradually, its attacks slowed down, no longer having Alka’s elimination as its primary objective; just dragging Alka to prevent him from harming other demons.
Unable to defeat it in a fight or shake it off, Alka was quite frustrated.
If he didn’t appear, the demon wouldn’t, and the moment he did, it immediately confronted him.
Since Jason was coming, Alka decided to prepare a surprise for that demon; it wasn’t necessarily about killing it, but at least severely wounding it to temporarily remove it from the battlefield.
While discussing this, Alka gradually explained to Jason.
Hearing this, Jason was somewhat surprised.
This demon was too outrageous, almost custom-made to target Alka.
"This demon must have been modified by the Abyss, specifically to target you."
Ulu Liwus, who had been sitting silently beside Jason, spoke with certainty.
"Why do you say that?" Alka asked.
Because this demon had previous information and battle records, it couldn’t have been custom-made for him.
"Is the demon on its shoulder shaped like this?" Ulu Liwus waved her hand, forming a crystal likeness of the one-eyed demon resembling a tadpole on the shoulder.
Looking at this image, Alka couldn’t help but nod.
"Yes, yes, almost spot on."
"Then that’s it; this type of demon is called a linkage demon, a very peculiar and rare kind.
It doesn’t possess its own strength; its power depends entirely on the demon it’s linked to.
When linked, it grants its unique strength to the demon.
However, this type of demon essentially becomes a parasitic demon over time, eventually parasitizing the other demon until it devours its spirit, growing into an independent entity."
"This demon is renowned for its extreme adaptability, often used during the Golden Era to target extremely troublesome enemies.
It’s relatively scarce because this ability in the Abyss makes them hard to survive.
If deployed, it’s certainly for targeted combat." Ulu Liwus explained.
All her mental heritage aimed at future generations, so many dangerous and noteworthy elements were emphasized and intentionally recorded in the heritage.
