Life Dungeon Game

Those dark, empty eye sockets were remarkably similar to his, except that they contained nothing but an abyss-like darkness.

Fear gripped the boy's heart in an instant.

In that instant, he felt as if he had lost the ability to breathe, and a suffocating sense of oppression enveloped his heart.

"Dad, mom."

He ignored the water glass in his hand and rushed to his parents' bedroom like a madman.

He didn't have time to think about why his parents, who should have been watching TV and doing chores outside, weren't in the living room at this time. He only knew that his parents were the only people he could rely on right now.

He suddenly turned the bedroom handle and pushed open the bedroom door.

A cold, hazy light shone into the dimly lit bedroom.

The boy saw his parents—they lay side by side on the bed, eerie smiles on their faces, two shadowy figures resembling them back to back.

They clung tightly to their bodies.

He looked up at the light illuminating the house.

It wasn't a light at all, but a shadow emitting a faint, eerie glow.

He clutched his chest, half-squatted on the ground, took out his phone, and dialed the military police's number.

But all he got in return was a busy signal that no one was answering.

After several seconds of busy tone, just as the call was about to hang up automatically, a crisp sound came from the phone.

The call was answered.

"Help me! Please help us! I'm on West Street..."

The boy stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

He realized something was wrong.

His own voice echoed through the phone.

He turned his head, trembling, to look at the full-length mirror in the living room behind him.

In that bright mirror, the shadow clinging tightly to his back was holding a telephone made of shadow, seemingly answering a call quietly.

Fear eventually broke down all of the boy's psychological defenses.

He collapsed to the ground.

The cold wind of the silent night lifted the curtains, revealing the view outside the window.

That was the city under the hazy night sky.

Everything was so quiet, without the chirping of birds, beasts, or insects, without the clamor of steam horns; everything was so quiet, as quiet as a dream of death.

A huge shadow seemed to envelop the entire city, back to back with everyone.

The boy's heart sank into despair. He lay helplessly on the ground, the shadow behind him slowly merging into his body.

He felt his life being slowly drained away.

The whole world seemed to fall into an even deeper silence.

A series of distorted messages surfaced in his mind.

The great god is about to take his life.

It was his honor to give his life for the gods.

Everyone will receive this supreme honor.

An inexplicable joy welled up in his heart. He vaguely realized that this joy was not his own emotion, but his body was still filled with it.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

call--

Just then, a sharp whistling sound reached his ears.

The sharp sound of the wind was like a ray of light, piercing into the already pitch-black world.

With his last bit of strength, he rolled over and looked out the window.

······

At the heart of the storm, a terrifying and awe-inspiring force converged on the rooftop of the spire, obscuring both the clouds and the moon from the raging wind.

The intricate ritual array shone with dazzling brilliance.

The earth trembled as if a giant hand was grabbing the magic array, trying to tear the shimmering array apart completely.

At this moment, the magnificent serpent no longer tried to shake off Heo above its head. Instead, it contracted its massive body to tighten around the top of the pointed building, preventing the magnificent magic array from being torn apart by the powerful force.

At the same time, its snake head pressed down above the magic circle, its huge mouth slightly open, and dark power emanated from its mouth.

The space above the magic circle was briefly sealed off, creating a silent, windless place amidst the howling wind.

He Ao stood atop the snake's head and pulled out the Shadowless Sword that was stuck in the snake's head.

He could clearly feel that the energy within the giant snake was rapidly dissipating due to the sealing of space.

At the same time, the earth-shaking power was not affected by the giant serpent.

The body tightened around the building and disappeared, all of which was transmitted into the giant snake's body, where the dense, star-like energy cores were crumbling one by one.

This is one of the reasons why Heo chose to attack the ritual magic circle instead of the giant serpent.

The giant serpent can dodge attacks, but when attacking the ritual magic circle, it has to take all the damage to protect the circle.

However, this giant serpent was far too powerful; the force of a single landslide and tsunami was insufficient to destroy it.

Taking advantage of the giant snake being held back by the landslide and tsunami, He Ao jumped off the giant snake.

The space sealed off by the giant serpent this time was not large, only a small area above the magic circle, and it did not enclose its own body.

One possibility is to save energy, and another is to prevent He'ao on it from slipping into the space and directly destroying the magic array.

Inside the sealed space, people can still move freely.

Of course, the price to pay for this is that the giant snake's head must be exposed to the elements and subjected to the impact of strong winds.

Of course, He Ao was also being battered by the strong winds.

The "Mountain Collapse and Tsunami" skill is great in every way, except that it attacks indiscriminately.

However, He Ao was not the primary target and was not tasked with protecting the magic array, so he received very little impact.

His figure moved swiftly through the swirling wind. He first approached the sealed space, tried to destroy it, but found that he could not destroy it in a short time.

Then he immediately turned around and attacked the other intact parts of the giant snake.

The sharp, invisible sword sliced ​​through the giant serpent's scales, pierced its flesh, destroyed the energy core buried beneath its flesh, and was then immediately pulled out to move on to the next energy core.

He Ao was extremely fast. In a very short time, the giant snake, which was in the middle section and had not been impacted at all, was covered in wounds.

Green blood continued to ooze from the open wound.

Those cold, vertical pupils remained fixed on He Ao, and his originally indifferent gaze began to fill with anger.

At that moment, He Ao landed right where the vertical pupil was facing. He looked up at the angry expression in the eyes of the giant snake Rhodes, and then, right in front of Rhodes, he plunged the Shadowless Sword into its flesh, destroying the energy core inside.

hiss--

The giant snake emitted a sharp and piercing hiss.

This time, it finally became enraged. It aimed at He'ao, opened its massive maw, and gathered dark light within it.

Just then, the space beneath its head, which had been sealed off, flickered and cracked open, allowing the gale-force winds from the landslide and tsunami to seep in and destroy the radiant ritual array.

The giant serpent quickly turned around, reconstructed the sealed space, and swallowed the black light that was in its mouth.

He looked at the giant snake, smiled, and then pierced its body with his sword again.

The anger in the giant snake's eyes intensified.

Its enormous snake body trembled violently, but it made no move.

Instead, the trembling caused the building's lockdown to loosen, almost allowing the force of a landslide and tsunami to overflow, forcing the building to be tightened again.

And just like that, the short time flew by.

Just as Heo landed behind the giant snake's head

Just as he was about to plunge his sword into the giant snake's body, a terrifying sense of crisis enveloped him. He looked up and found a pair of cold, vertical pupils staring at him.

The power of the landslide and tsunami is weakening, and the giant serpent has survived this wave of attack.

Without uttering a single word, the snake's head opened its massive maw, and a burst of pitch-black light instantly shot out.

However, He'ao reacted extremely quickly. Accompanied by a piercing horn, before the giant snake could open its mouth, his body leaped backward into the Verola and disappeared into space once again.

The dark light pierced through the spot where he had just stood, falling on the deserted street, corroding and melting the thick cement, piercing through the soil, and leaving a crater tens of meters deep.

The Verola appeared from the other side of the void, and Heo glanced at the deep crater on the ground.

Fortunately, he was prepared and ran fast, otherwise his body would probably be nothing but bones by now.

The enormous snake head turned and stared at He Ao, who was standing at the doorway, holding onto the car door with one hand.

At this moment, its body was covered in wounds, not only from the piercing wound by He Ao, but also from the tearing wound caused by the power of the landslide and tsunami. The energy core, which was as bright as the stars, had also dimmed by more than half.

Even so, it is still stronger than Heo.

"I'm afraid you can't unleash that ability continuously in a short period of time."

The giant serpent Rhodes stared at Heo, opened its mouth, and coiled the entire ritual magic circle beneath itself. It suppressed its anger and gave up attacking Heo.

Before anyone knew it, the sky had been shrouded in a gray shadow, and streaks of green light shimmered deep within the city.

A vast and terrifying pressure came from the end of the sky.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the gray sky.

A huge shadow loomed behind the sky.

The moment He Ao caught sight of that shadow, a terrifying and twisted feeling spread through his soul, and he immediately looked away.

If you keep watching, you'll die.

"The coming of our Lord is unstoppable; your efforts have failed."
