55: Physical purification = destruction?

Inspector Eric heard Brian's reply.

He nodded in agreement and said, "Your guess makes a lot of sense, but it's highly probable that the ancient seal has loosened.

Because our world is guarded by the floating cities of various powerful beings, the Hell Plane wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke us again."

"After all, His Majesty Karma shattered several layers of it last time. However, both a loosened seal and manipulation by a hidden force are possible. We still need to investigate and deal with the specific situation."

As Inspector Eric spoke, he took out various detection Magic Formations from his storage space.

These Magic Formations came in different shapes: some were like small, delicate discs, others resembled slender staves, all glowing with mysterious runic light.

As these objects were manipulated by Inspector Eric's mental control,

they surrounded the cave where the Hellfire Demon had appeared earlier,

and under Inspector Eric's mental manipulation, a detection Magic Formation was set up.

As the Magic Formation gradually took shape, the surrounding space seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force.

Brian stood by, quietly observing Inspector Eric's actions.

However, he also secretly gave instructions to Spirit Eye, telling the intelligent robot army to remain vigilant and be ready to respond to any sudden situations that might arise.

After a while, Inspector Eric completed the setup of the detection Magic Formation. His mental energy fluctuated violently, and he let out a soft cry.

The Magic Formation immediately lit up with dazzling light, and rays of light shot out from it, spreading in all directions, beginning a comprehensive scan of the area.

Inspector Eric concentrated on sensing the information fed back by the detection Magic Formation, and his expression grew increasingly relaxed as the information continuously flowed in.

A moment later, Inspector Eric slowly turned to Brian, his tone slightly more relaxed as he said,

"From the detection results, there are indeed signs that the seal has loosened, but no obvious traces of manipulation by a hidden force have been found yet."

Upon hearing this, Brian's expression also relaxed slightly, and he asked,

"Then, Inspector Eric, what do you think we should do next?"

Inspector Eric pondered for a moment, then smiled and said,

"Of course, we'll purify them. Come with me to my Mage Tower later; I'll use the Mage Tower's level 6 combined spell for their physical purification!"

Brian saw Inspector Eric's smile and felt it was somehow strange.

It felt like he had seen it somewhere before?

However, Brian also understood that physically purifying the potential hidden dangers at the seal was the most stable method currently.

'Wait, physical purification? It wouldn't be physical destruction, would it?'

Brian seemed to suddenly understand why Inspector Eric had that kind of smile.

'However, physical destruction is good too! Simple and brutal!'

After all, no one knew if there were other dangers lurking behind the seal, and an annihilating purification that relied on sheer power was the way to go.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Inspector Eric," Brian replied with a smile and a nod.

Brian said this, but inwardly he was complaining,

'Blasting them with high-energy annihilation is just blasting them; calling it 'physical purification' sounds so artistic, fresh, and refined?'

Then, Inspector Eric waved his hand, retrieving all the detection Magic Formations set up around them back into his storage space, and then gestured to Brian,

"Come with me, sir, my Mage Tower is nearby."

Brian followed behind Inspector Eric, walking towards the demigod wizard tower.

Soon, they arrived in front of the demigod wizard tower.

Inspector Eric raised his hand and waved, and the heavy door of the Mage Tower slowly opened, a rich magical aura wafting out.

Upon entering the top floor of the Mage Tower, they found a spacious and bright hall.

Various glowing magical gems were embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

In the center of the hall was a massive magical disc, inscribed with complex runes and patterns.

Inspector Eric led Brian to the magical disc and explained,

"This is the Mage Tower's combat area. I will cast the level 6 combined spell here later."

As he spoke, Inspector Eric began to manipulate some complex mechanisms and runic stones on the magical disc.

With his movements, the runes on the magical disc began to flicker with dazzling light, and the magic power throughout the hall also fluctuated violently.

After a while, Inspector Eric straightened up, his mental energy fluctuating intensely in the air.

Outside, above the cave, the space began to twist,

a massive magical vortex gradually formed,

shimmering with colorful light within the vortex,

a powerful destructive force continuously surged out from the vortex.

"Now!" Inspector Eric roared, pushing his hands forward,

that powerful destructive force surged like a tide towards the location of the cave where the Hellfire Demon had appeared earlier.

Brian stood by,

he could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within that destructive force,

and couldn't help but secretly admire Inspector Eric's strength.

Under the continuous scouring of the destructive force,

the space around the cave began to ripple in layers,

some black, evil aura was continuously forced out,

and then completely annihilated by the destructive force.

After a long time, Inspector Eric slowly lowered his hands.

The massive magical vortex also gradually disappeared, and the space above the cave returned to calm. Inspector Eric let out a long breath, turned to Brian, and said with a smile,

"Alright, the hidden danger here should have been purified, but to be safe, we'll go check it again later."

Brian nodded in agreement; he also felt that a reconfirmation would be more secure, as this matter was of great importance and allowed no room for carelessness.

Subsequently, the two instantly arrived at the cave location where the Hellfire Demon had previously appeared, using the Mage Tower's teleportation function.

At this time, the evil aura that had originally pervaded the surroundings had disappeared, replaced by a relatively peaceful magical fluctuation.

Inspector Eric once again cast a detection spell, carefully checking the situation at the seal. Only after confirming that no hidden dangers were overlooked did he nod in satisfaction.

Inspector Eric turned to Brian, a hint of relief in his expression:

"It seems our purification was very successful. The loose ends left by the ancients have been resolved by us!"

Brian looked around, sensing the lingering magical fluctuations in the air, and a great weight in his heart finally lifted.

He looked at Inspector Eric and said sincerely,

"This time, I really owe it to you, Inspector Eric. If you hadn't arrived in time and purified this place with such powerful magic, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Inspector Eric waved his hand and smiled, "No need to be polite, Brian, this is also my duty. Moreover, you have a connection with Phantom Moon, so I naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing."

At the mention of Phantom Moon, Brian's heart stirred. He hesitated for a moment, then asked,

"Inspector Eric, are you also... of Phantom Moon?"

Inspector Eric was slightly taken aback by this, then smiled and said, "My teacher is a good friend of Phantom Moon."

A flicker of understanding passed through Brian's eyes. He nodded and said,

"I see, then it seems our connection is quite deep."

Inspector Eric smiled and shrugged at Brian:

"Indeed, who knows, we might have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Oh, right, seeing as you have so many level 4 intelligent robots, you must be quite rich!

If you ever want someone to build a level 6 demigod wizard tower for you, you can come to me!"

"I'll give you a huge discount! Ah, no! That's not right, it's a 10% discount! Yes, a 10% discount. I'm talking about my service fee; you'll have to buy the materials yourself."

Hearing Inspector Eric's somewhat playful words, Brian couldn't help but laugh and said,

"That would be excellent. If I have such a need in the future, I will definitely not forget to seek you out, Inspector Eric. However, I still have one matter I'd like to consult you about right now."
