    Nia City.


    The buildings surrounding the street seemed somewhat surreal, the mist continually growing denser.


    A trio of figures spoke briefly, then immediately dispersed, each choosing a direction to escape.


    Su Lu, without uttering a word, dashed off.


    The scene he just encountered in the sewer had somewhat frightened him.


    Although he had not turned his head at the time, he still felt its presence.


    That fifth-level professional under Mu’er’smand, when confronting the terrifying entity behind the ‘door’, couldn’t resist for even a second before he fell.


    ‘Is this the might of the divine?’


    ‘Even if… it is only a fallen god?’


    ‘What exactly is behind the door?’


    …


    Various thoughts kept spinning in his mind.


    At the same time, he felt a sense of helplessness.


    What should he do to escape this dream?


    “The Door of Flesh in the sewer has been confirmed… it is not an exit, on the contrary, it leads to an even deeper level of terror…”


    He intended to go to a safe ce to carefully consider his next move.


    After passing through a mist, a dark silhouette suddenly appeared on the street ahead.


    It was a humanoid Nightmare Demon. Seeing Su Lu, it immediately pounced, its ck tongue shooting out like an arrow.


    “Disgusting beast!”


    Su Lu casually pressed his hand forward, amassing a terrifying spirit oppression into a beam, pressing the Nightmare Demon to the ground. Heavy Spirit Chains appeared like a web, restricting it to the spot.


    “Considering the current despair and fear enveloping the entire Nia city… killing it probably won’t help much, it might even be able to resurrect!”


    Su Lu sighed, stepping over the struggling ck figure, ready to leave.


    At this moment, he had an inspiration and looked towards another direction.


    The mist was dispersed, revealing a figure – it was Freddy!


    Behind him, several spider-like giant limbs were chasing after him relentlessly, moving extremely fast!


    It was that mountain-like Nightmare Demon!


    For some reason, it had targeted Freddy from among the separated three.


    And evidently, Freddy was no match for it. He was swiftly running away, looking haggard. Upon seeing Su Lu, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran over there,


    From his ecstatic expression, Su Lu knew what he was thinking.


    As long as Su Lu could distract the Spider Monster for some time, at worst, Freddy could find another hiding ce.


    ‘You ran into a beast because of your bad luck and now you want to drag me into it?’


    Su Lu’s expression turned icy cold, a pale yellow Trick Card appearing in his hand, “Release!”


    A ray of light emerged, spreading towards Freddy and the Spider Monster.


    —— ‘Slow Down Spell’!


    This was deliberately sealed by Su Lu; it was an ability to limit an enemy.


    The originally fast duo was now moving in slow motion, a mere few seconds were enough for Su Lu to create a substantial distance between them.


    “You…”


    Freddy was furious. Raising a hand, a strangely shaped pistol manifested and fired a shot instantly.


    Bang!


    The bullet hit the ground, creating a small hole.


    Su Lu, fully utilizing his [Wanderer] ability, maneuvered rapidly between the buildings. Suddenly, he lifted his hand, and a pale yellow Trick Card flew out. It exploded mid-air, transforming into a fireball and hurtling towards Freddy.


    ‘Fireball Technique’!


    “What kind of strange ability is this?”


    Freddy, cing his hands protectively over his face, frantically tried to avoid the mes.


    Even though Freddy knew that the opponent was a spellcaster; how could his spells be so diverse and cast so quickly?


    Even wearing magical boots, his speed inevitably slowed down.


    The next moment, eight massive spider legs descended from the sky, casting a shadow below.


    It was that Spider Nightmare Demon!


    Anger, hatred, hostile emotions seemed to emanate from the manypound eyes on the shadowy beast’s underbelly as it pressed down.


    “Aargh…I won’t ept this!”


    Freddy, trapped in a dead-end, roared.


    Indeed he was unwilling.


    In the era of the Transcendent, he had finally advanced to the third grade, bing one of the top figures in the Mysterious World, even the Church of the Goddess of Light would have to consult before speaking to him.


    Moreover, by sheer luck, he had managed to escape from the near-death situation in the sewer.


    Unbeknownst to him, due to being targeted by the spider monster, he was tricked and killed by Su Lu who he originally wanted to spare trouble.


    He couldn’t understand how the other party happened to possess a spell that perfectly restricted him.


    Boom!


    A giant explosion rang out from behind, followed by a horrifying shockwave that rocked the surrounding buildings.


    Without stopping, Su Lumented, “As expected of a third-rank [Gun Master]…”


    Thatst shot was clearly a self-destruct at the moment of death.


    If he hadn’t been quick to act and chose to restrict the capabilities of the other, he might have been the one that got fooled and killed.


    If he had been dragged in close, with thatst attack, the other might have been able to drag him to the grave with him!


    “Such malice in the human heart …”


    Su Lu sighed.


    Unconsciously, he had already left the East District and hid in an empty building.


    “No one is here … perfect … I can’t go to the church, who knows what kind ofyout Mu’er would have left behind …”


    Su Lu randomly found a room, started to meditate, in reality, passively waiting for inspiration to recover.


    “After that door opens… the situation in Nia City will inevitably intensify … and, it can’t be stopped …”


    Aside from whether outside support woulde or not, even if several legendary upational persons arrive, facing the horrors beyond that door, what could they do?


    Competing with such an entity, even a dream left behind after its death, other than despair, is still despair!


    “Next, the issue of the retreat route must be seriously considered.”


    Su Lu took an inventory of all his possessions.


    The most valuable were naturally the Demon Hunting dagger and the “Nameless Necromancer Book”, along with the Evil Spirit Knight card.


    Besides that, there were over twenty Trick Cards.


    He originally nned to bury the “Unnamed Undead Book” somewhere or put it in a safe ce, but before he could decide, the city of Nia had an upheaval and he had to carry it with him.


    At this moment, he was stroking the cover of the mysterious book in front of him, his face changing unpredictably.


    The Church of the Goddess of Light.


    The power of the sanctuary, turned into a circle of light, defended the main church building and a small za outside.


    Billy curled up in a corner, his heart incredibly restless.


    “I hope Ian Luoen will seed…. Luoen is so powerful… huh? Why do I think he’s powerful? Wait… who’s Luoen?”


    He muttered to himself, oblivious to the thin mist that had forcefully seeped in. The holy light of the church couldn’t bar itpletely.


    His body, after absorbing some of the mist, his skin turned pale as thoughpletely devoid of any blood.


    During this eerie transformation, Billy remembered even more: “That Luoen… no… that day… he was the arrogant kid I met in the memorial park… he… he tampered with my memories! It’s such an evil and terrible ability, I have to report him to the church and the federation…”


    The moment he stood up, the outside world suddenly shook.


    An octopus floating in mid-air had boldly breached the defense of the holy light, therge quantities of sucker-bearing tentacles swept out, snatching away the survivors.


    “Not good, the church’s defense is broken!”


    Shouts rang out and panic spread inevitably….
