"Ye Lin, what do you mean by shaking your head and then nodding?"
"Does it have one, or..."
Before He Zheng could finish his puzzled question, An Ke frowned slightly, roughly guessing why Ye Lin had reacted that way:
"Ye Lin, there's something off about the Two-Horned Demon's strength, right?"
"Does it have two forms?"
But after An Ke finished, Ye Lin shook his head and said quietly:
"Yes and no."
"There is indeed something off about the Two-Horned Demon's strength, but it doesn't have two forms. We all got that wrong."
"The shell it shed was an extremely advanced Bio-Mecha. The Imp inside was its actual body."
"But this Bio-Mecha doesn't seem to have been exchanged for through the system. They brought it with them."
"Also, the Two-Horned Demon's actual body was at Basic Third Tier, while its Bio-Mecha was at the advanced Third Tier. Every Echo Demon is like this; only their strength differs."
All four froze at his words. Even though they had considered the possibility that the Two-Horned Demon was two separate "things," the answer still went beyond anything they had expected.
An Ke paused, then recalled her earlier questions:
"So that's why sonic attacks affect them so much? And why they don't have any vital spots?"
Looking back, all their questions finally fell into place.
So that was it.
Sonic attacks could penetrate the Mech, which was why they inflicted such tremendous damage on the Echo Demons. The missiles had killed those Echo Demons because the blasts had reached the Imps inside.
It wasn't that these monsters lacked vital spots. Their bodies were simply too small, and they had been hiding inside the Mechs' abdomens all along.
"Bio-Mecha?"
"Ye Lin, what exactly are you saying? You mean these demons use technological enhancements?"
