Chapter 1187: The So-called Upgrade

“Technology…” Roland muttered while knitting his brows. He had probed into the demons’ memories once and seen how they upgraded. Basically, the demons upgraded through merging with various magic stones. Failure to merge with magic stones would result in a miserable death. In a way, their upgrade method was pretty similar to witches’, and probably even more cruel.

Although the demons used different technologies, once they learned the principles, they would further develop and expand the technologies based on their needs. This was definitely not a good sign for the mankind.

“Are you sure?” asked Anna, who immediately understood what that meant.

“We need to conduct further research on the remains, but…” Agatha broke off and turned to Celine.

Celine tapped her main tentacle and led everyone to a giant black stone covered in scratch marks. “This is a part of the Giant Skeleton. From the initial autopsy, we judge it’s very likely a living being.”

“Fair enough. This is pretty much like the armor of a deformed demon, isn’t it? ” Roland commented while stroking his chin. In the report, the military officer mentioned that the Giant Skeletons had produced a bloodcurdling howl after being hit by the cannon shells.

“No, Your Majesty,” Celine denied, a little embarrassed. “What I was trying to say is that… the stone itself is alive.”

“What?”

Dumbstruck, everybody took a step backward involuntarily.

“Hang on. You mean the stone is alive?”

“Is the stone also a type of demon?”

“I don’t quite… follow you. Could you tell me more about it?”

The hall exploded with a rush of inquiries.

“To put it short, this stone is an independent system that operates on its own,” Celine said as she scooped up an iron hammer and gave the stone an almighty strike. With a clank, the stone trembled, and Roland could spy, through its numerous cracks, something wriggle with pain. The stone did not stop quivering until half a minute later, and Roland was positive that the quaver was not the offspring of the blow.

“At the scene, we found a huge organ hung below the Giant Skeleton’s abdomen. We thought it was the main body of the deformed demon, but the autopsy showed otherwise,” Agatha continued. “This finding puzzled me and Celine. As the Skeleton could move by itself, then why is there a separate deformed demon attached to its abdomen? We didn’t find out the reason until we saw the transformed Mad Demon created by the Magic Slayer.”

Anna, who was the first to realize the true nature of this peculiar Skeleton, blurted out, “Is it a host?”
