The desert vehicle sped forward. After cresting a sand dune, its wheels slammed into the ground, kicking up a great cloud of fine sand as it shot ahead.
Su Xiao crouched half-standing on the roof, watching behind him. A pillar of black-red blood energy surged into the sky in the distance. It was about five meters thick, as if connecting heaven and earth, and the sky directly above it had been dyed blood-red.
If the blood-energy monster from before had been a fusion of three, then after swallowing the fused "projections" of Morey and the other two, it had become a fusion of six.
This was an extremely frightening situation. First, the blood-energy monster had been based on Su Xiao's "projection," and had swallowed Wood and Zaiyas's "projected monsters." In other words, Su Xiao's abilities served as its main system, while Wood and Zaiyas's abilities served as auxiliary systems.
At that time, Su Xiao had still had a way to deal with the blood-energy monster, provided he found Lilim. Some of Lilim's abilities were very likely to counter the blood-energy monster.
The blood-energy monster's main abilities had been inherited from Su Xiao. This meant that it also shared Su Xiao's weakness: a weak Charm Attribute.
The blood-energy monster had no equipment to bolster it and couldn't offset the penalties of negative Charm. From Su Xiao's observations, the monster had taken immortality from Zaiyas's "projection," as well as strangeness, compatibility, and adaptability from Wood's "projection."
As a devil, Wood had no especially outstanding specialty. However, to master the power of contracts, one needed extremely strong compatibility to adapt to the characteristics of different contracts.
As for Wood's adaptability, that was because he often carried the Jar of the Abyss. It would have been difficult for his adaptability not to be strong.
