Lannister had the same idea, he just didn’t say it out loud.
While he was hesitating, suddenly a huge suction force came, and Lannister was caught off guard. He was violently sucked into the mud. As soon as his body entered the mud, he immediately felt a strong burning sensation penetrating his skin and reaching deep into his soul.
Lannister knew something was wrong and instantly summoned his Spiritual Energy, a powerful gale violently pulled him out.
"It’s dangerous, stay away!"
Trying to fly away with the gale, but the huge suction firmly nailed him down.
Rod and Cilly rushed to pull him out, and it took the combined effort of the three to drag him out of the range of the suction.
Lannister shouted, just after escaping.
"This is the Divine Envoy of the Ancient Sun God, Helios!"
Rod exclaimed, "The Ancient Sun God?"
Lannister briefly explained, "We call the gods that appeared in the later part of the Second Epoch ’Ancient Gods’, and those from the earlier period ’Primeval Gods’. Generally speaking, the Primeval Gods are much stronger than the Ancient Gods. Helios is known as the Sun God, but His divine powers don’t seem to involve the sun. Rather, He is adept at attracting, pushing away, twisting, and melting enemies."
"This is His Divine Envoy, whose power is close to that of the Main God. The Divine Envoy of Helios is an extremely dangerous entity..."
Cilly, growing impatient, interrupted, "How should we defeat it?"
With a choke, Lannister skipped the explanation and went straight to the point.
"It’s hard to kill the Divine Envoy of Helios from the outside; its weak point is inside. However, entering it will cause fatal injury as it will continuously melt your soul and strike a deadly blow with a long tentacle. That tentacle is its weakness, so, we should..."
Before he could finish, Rod had already sprinted off, leaving behind only the words, "I got it!" and charged into the monster’s mud.
The black mud instantly engulfed him, and a huge burning sensation transmitted through his soul, this clump of mud was trying to digest him, an attack on the soul rather than a corrupt erosion.
Thus, unlike the King Ant’s Soul Acid, it couldn’t be immunized with humanity.
Rod felt his Spiritual Energy rapidly disappearing, and something seemed to be lurking inside the murky mud.
Rod had a thought and contained his Spiritual Energy.
Sensing that his Spiritual Energy was weakening, something suddenly lunged at him.
A sense of danger hit him face-on, and Rod distinctly felt the strong Spiritual Energy condensed on the tentacle, breaking through eleven levels of intensity, this was Eleventh Level Spiritual Energy!
Rod knew it was dangerous and immediately took out the "Soul Defense" from the Dream Realm, crushed it instantly, and at the same time reached for the tentacle.
In that split second, the tentacle struck Rod first, but a red light shone on him, blocking the tentacle’s attack and allowing Rod’s right hand to successfully hit the tentacle.
From the sensations just now, Rod had discovered that this tentacle had no Spiritual Defense, from which he deduced, its shell was its defense, and the tentacle was its main body, unprotected.
His right hand plunged into the tentacle as thick as an arm, fiercely pulling, and the monster’s soul collapsed instantly.
The black mud suddenly lost its support, fell to the ground with a slap, and turned into a thin puddle, which began to evaporate gradually.
A tremendous dark brown line entered the body.
