Having learned from the experience of being bewitched by the voice of that creature, whether deer or tree, Leyton immediately began to meditate when he realized something was wrong with his condition.
As an image composed of countless golden sand grains flowing together to form gears, chains, and a pupil-less eye was outlined, Leyton felt the negative state within him dissipate once more.
"Imprison!" A word of Dragonese escaped Leyton's mouth.
The charm that Leyton was holding in his left hand turned to ashes, and an invisible wave surged forward towards the huge monster with Leyton's will.
The opponent's painful wail and swaying body froze for a moment, but in less than a breath, its body resumed swaying. Leyton only had time to draw his gun and fire a purifying bullet.
After that, Leyton fired two more shots, but this huge monster, despite only struggling and swaying its body painfully in place, always managed to dodge the bullets with strange postures. It was as if the opponent's body instinctively controlled its movements to avoid being hurt.
Seeing that the shooting effect was not obvious, Leyton gave up the idea of continuing to shoot. Purifying bullets were not plentiful, and they had to be used to their maximum effect.
Putting the pistol back into the holster at his waist, Leyton distorted the sickle he had taken from Kane and walked to the side, trying to clear the vines that were spreading from the monster.
Leyton's intuition told him that these vines were very important to the opponent, and that these vines were originally part of the opponent's body, so cutting them off would also cause damage to the main body of the monster.
Upon seeing the main body of this monster, Leyton abandoned the idea in his mind of rushing up and hacking at the opponent directly with the sickle.
Faced with certain death versus hot-bloodedness, Leyton decisively chose to play it safe.
"This sickle seems to stimulate recklessness and courage in its wielder, but it is still within a controllable range." Leyton also realized at this time that his previous impulsive thoughts came from the negative effects of the sickle in his hand.
Leyton stopped after clearing the surrounding vines for a while, as the strength of these vines was much higher than Leyton had expected, and not as easy as Kane's actions had seemed before.
"Everyone is Sequence 8, there shouldn't be such a big gap! Could it be that these vines can also be counted as the doctor's patients!" Leyton felt that he didn't understand why Kane had been so relaxed when he started.
Leyton stopped his movements, looked around, and calculated the number of vines around him and his own physical strength, decisively choosing to give up the idea of clearing these vines.
Returning to his previous position, Leyton threw the sickle directly on the ground. From the beginning, Leyton had been holding the sickle for nearly three minutes, which was already his limit.
Since he couldn't cause any real damage to this huge monster, he might as well test the damage of various extraordinary bullets on it. With this idea, Leyton immediately began to act.
Leyton took the pistol out of the holster again, removed all the purifying bullets inside, and replaced them with two types of bullets with burning and deterrent effects.
Then, he shot the huge body of the monster in front of him.
The bullet with the burning effect left a scarlet trail in the air and then sank into the monster's tree-like body. Red flames ignited on the monster's surface and began to spread around.
However, the image of this monster in Leyton's eyes then changed into a huge deer with huge antlers on its head, roots growing on its feet, and vines entwined around it.
As the image of this monster changed, the flames that were originally spreading on its body gradually disappeared, leaving only a palm-sized black spot on its body. Compared to the opponent's huge size, this palm-sized black spot was completely negligible.
"Can it avoid damage from different attributes by transforming its own image?" Leyton whispered.
Then he fired again, this time with a deterrent bullet. The bullet itself did not look special, but when it hit the deer, a ripple spread across its body, and a faint dragon roar echoed.
The deer's body froze in place, and the image of the opponent switching between deer and tree began to become unstable, with different parts of the body switching between the states of deer and tree at different frequencies, looking as if this world was bugging out.
Seeing that the deterrent bullet had an unexpected effect, Leyton replaced all the remaining bullets in the pistol with deterrent bullets, and then fired them all at the opponent's ever-changing body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang—!"
Several bullets hit the monster's body in succession, which made the switching of different states on its body more frequent and faster.
"This state, as if it's bugging out, always makes people feel uneasy... But that angel said that there are no more Amon's avatars here."
"What if it's not an avatar here?" A whisper sounded in Leyton's ear.
A feeling of unease and fear instantly filled Leyton's body, and he stiffly looked up in the direction of the sound.
The monster that was constantly switching between deer and tree had stopped switching its body state at some point and had become a chimera of a giant deer and a giant tree.
A human face grew out of this chimera, a face with black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, and thin cheeks. In the position of the right eye of the human face, there was a monocle of unknown material.
Leyton felt his heart almost stop, an "Amon" constantly echoing in his mind.
"Didn't they say that there are no more Amon's avatars!" Leyton shouted silently in his heart.
Leyton felt that his mood was extremely complicated at this moment, as if he was still fighting small monsters in the novice village, but a wild boss suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to him.
"Strictly speaking, I am not an avatar, nor have I parasitized anything." The Amon's face that grew out of the huge monster seemed to hear Leyton's thoughts and responded.
Leyton didn't listen to Amon's words, nor did he think. Sentences of Dragonese came out of Leyton's mouth: "Power of knowledge, power of reason, God of Wisdom."
But the voice disappeared as soon as it was spoken, as if it had never appeared.
Leyton didn't expect his chanting of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom's name to be useful anyway. Even without Amon's theft, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom would not necessarily pay attention to a disguised believer of his.
Leyton silently recited another name in Dragonese in his heart.
"Beloved of Knowledge and Wisdom, Ancient Guardian, Eye that Understands the World, Sage Enthroned in the Sky, Guardian of Reason and Knowledge."
Although this angel in Madan is not the main body, the other party is an angel under the seat of the God of Knowledge. As long as the other party comes, the sight of the God of Knowledge will definitely look over.
Whether it was Amon's avatar intentionally, or because he was in a bad state, the other party did not steal the thoughts in Leyton's mind, or the other party had already stolen them, but Leyton himself did not know it.
As Leyton finished chanting the name of the angel in his heart, nothing happened around him.
"What's the situation? Is there a delay? Must I chant it aloud? Or did the other party chicken out after seeing Amon?" Leyton felt confused.
"You seem to be very familiar with me?" That Amon's face spoke again.
