It felt so good to be close to the witch!

A bright yellow protective shield rose out of thin air, and the giant mosquito, caught off guard, crashed into it.

[Satan's Redemption], which can even withstand attacks at the level of gods, is naturally not something that the giant mosquito can break through.

The hard, extremely yellow protective shield made the giant mosquito that crashed into it tremble in its soul; to put it simply, it stunned the mosquito.

Roy, of course, wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

A burst of dazzling starlight erupted, enhanced by the sharpness of "Meteor Accumulation." The longsword, interwoven with crimson gold and brilliant silver, fell fiercely, its sharp blade energy so intense it seemed to shatter space itself, precisely cleaving the giant mosquito in two along its center line.

"Pfft!"

Large amounts of dark red blood were spilled.

Even after being cut in two, the giant mosquito showed no signs of dying.

Its flesh scattered into a pool of blood, which then reformed and took shape not far away.

Having just been "resurrected," the crimson color in its eyes had dimmed somewhat.

This scene caused Roy to frown deeply.

Is it an "undead" type of monster?

This was the first time Roy had encountered such a monster.

The Great Monster's strength is only barely at the demigod level, which is not considered powerful. However, given its strange immortality, even a seasoned demigod would have virtually no chance of killing it without any means of countering it.

Under normal circumstances, adventurers who venture into the Black Mist Forbidden Zone will have their fighting spirit depleted rapidly due to the entanglement of the demigod giant mosquito. Once their energy is exhausted, they will be completely engulfed by the surrounding black mist.

The combination of black mist and the demigod giant mosquito is undoubtedly somewhat underhanded.

After a moment of thought, Roy had a flash of inspiration.

The blood of the giant monster is undoubtedly an energy substance. If I use [Infinite Desire - God] to drain the energy from the blood before it coalesces, can the giant mosquito still be reborn?

This is a solution worth trying.

When the giant mosquito is as a whole, [Infinite Desire God] can only extract energy little by little. However, when the giant mosquito is dispersed into countless blood droplets, the energy extraction speed that the giant mosquito as a whole can withstand is an unbearable burden for a single blood droplet.

With this thought in mind, a sharp glint flashed in Roy's eyes. He took a step forward and launched an attack on the giant mosquito!

Chapter 232 Let Me Hold You

The crimson flames burned fiercely, briefly dispelling the darkness.

Faced with Roy's approach, the giant mosquito showed no sign of retreating and let out an extremely sharp screech.

Countless black mists mixed with blood hovered around it, shooting towards Roy who was rapidly approaching.

Each shot of dark red blood left an indelible black mark in the air.

Roy activated [Satan's Redemption], blocking all the blood beads from entering.

The giant mosquito seemed to be severely affected by the "black distortion." Even though it had already suffered a great loss in the extreme yellow aura, it still hadn't learned much from the experience and would only launch a ferocious attack regardless of the consequences.

Or perhaps, in the giant mosquito's mind, such a powerful defensive capability also consumes a lot of energy, and it wants to exchange its own death for the exhaustion of the enemy's energy.

Taking advantage of the moment when the giant mosquito was stunned again, Roy raised his long sword and slashed down mercilessly, splitting it in two.

Just like last time, the severed giant mosquito's body melted into countless dark red blood cells, attempting to reassemble and be reborn.

"It's now!"

Roy's eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated [Infinite Desire - God] at its highest power.

The energy contained within the countless dark red blood beads was sucked away without any resistance under the terrifying suction force and merged into Roy's body.

The sudden change caused the dark red blood to tremble violently.

In the dim light, the ghostly image of the great monster emerged, letting out a roar of shock and rage.

However, with most of its energy being drained, its roar is nothing more than impotent rage.

The giant mosquito's phantom soul grew dimmer and dimmer. When Roy drained the last drop of energy from its dark red blood, it let out a long, unwilling cry before disappearing completely.

"call……"

Roy breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the newly formed dark red blood essence within the Heart of Leviathan.

Although the battle did not last long, it was by no means low in danger.

If someone else were to deal with the giant mosquito, even a seasoned demigod like the Border Duke wouldn't be able to kill it.

That cheat-like power of rebirth, combined with the energy erosion and attrition of the black mist, was simply disgusting.

A crisp "snap" sound caught Roy's attention.

Where the ghostly image of the giant mosquito had just vanished, two round crystals resembling rubies fell to the ground, emitting a hazy glow in the black mist.

"The giant mosquito's eyeball?"

Roy walked forward in surprise, picked up the two red eyeballs, and examined them carefully.

[Leviathan's Heart] will plunder the life force and soul force of the beings it defeats, while [Infinite Desire - God] will seize energy. When life force, soul force, and energy are all gone, the beings will only dissipate into the most basic particles, and nothing will remain.

Unless, of course, this thing is not the original body tissue of the giant mosquito.

Upon closer observation, Roy quickly noticed something amiss.

These two red gemstones, shaped like eyeballs, were soft in texture and contained something that he instinctively longed for. Rather than being crystals, they were more like two relatively hard, bright red fruits.

Is it a rare item?

Roy was overjoyed.

However, before determining its specific nature, he dared not swallow it rashly, so he put it into his spatial ring.

After the battle with the giant mosquito, Roy decided to temporarily leave the Black Mist Forbidden Zone.

This place is too eerie.

Without an effective means of lighting, it would be too dangerous to continue exploring further.

He had only gone this far, yet he had already encountered such a troublesome blackened monster. It was hard to imagine what kind of terrifying beings existed deep within the Black Mist Forbidden Zone.

Thinking of this, Roy suddenly became curious about the original owner's mother's strength.

Even a typical demigod probably wouldn't have the ability to penetrate deep into the core of the Black Mist Forbidden Zone, right?

What kind of strength does Freya, the witch who created the "Magic Puppet System" after Cesil and is the most talented witch in the Witch Guild, possess?

Fineki probably doesn't know this either.

After all, after becoming the president of the Witch Guild, Freya never laid a hand on anyone again due to the ravages of time.

Shaking his head, Roy stopped thinking about it and crushed the positioning necklace around his neck. The next moment, a silver light appeared, and Toni appeared beside Roy, taking his hand. Then, the two of them were engulfed in the silver light.

After the two disappeared, the empty space created by Roy's presence was filled back in by the black mist. At the same time, deep within the black mist forbidden zone, a colossal beast comparable to a mountain slowly opened its eyes, its gaze seemingly piercing through layers of black mist and landing on the place where Roy had disappeared.

In an instant, the black mist throughout the entire Black Mist Forbidden Zone began to churn wildly.

……

On a distant reef outside the Black Mist Forbidden Zone, as space distorted, Roy and Latie's figures emerged.

As soon as she landed, Latiyi's expression changed, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

This sight made Roy's eyes narrow, and he quickly converted the energy in his body into a relatively gentle one, channeling it into Latie's body to help her relax.

"I'm fine." Latie shook her head: "I just used up too much energy when I passed through the black mist, and when I left, I was affected by a strange force."

"A mysterious power?" Roy's eyes filled with self-reproach.

If he hadn't wanted to explore the forbidden zone of the black mist, Latie wouldn't have suffered such harm.

“A very special power, somewhat similar to the black mist, but capable of penetrating space.” Latie’s eyes were filled with solemnity.

This is the second time she has encountered an attack that can damage spatial teleportation.

The first time was in the mechanical holy city of Erikd, where the aurora and extreme heat generated by the "scorching sun" composed of ten "super meteorites" were comparable to the level of gods.

And the second time, which is this time.

In other words.

A space that can penetrate space, even if it hasn't reached the level of a god, isn't far off.

Roy was naturally aware of this as well.

"Indeed, there are still divine beings from the previous generation surviving in the Black Mist Forbidden Zone."

He looked towards the direction of the Black Mist Forbidden Zone, a slight sense of lingering fear washing over him—he had been too reckless.

Fortunately, the attack on Latie was more like a warning and a way to drive the two away, and the main body of the opponent did not chase after them.

"Let's go!" The unknown, seemingly divine entity hasn't caught up yet, but Roy doesn't dare gamble on whether it will later.

"Hmm!" Latie took a deep breath. Nourished by Roy's energy, her condition improved considerably, and she immediately activated her spatial teleportation ability again.

The silver light engulfed their bodies.

……

Witch Island.

Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he landed on solid ground.

He helped Latiyi up after she stumbled a step, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Let me hug you."

He looked at Latie and, seeing that she did not object, picked her up in a princess carry.

Lati's body stiffened slightly, but quickly softened.

She raised her jade-like hands and wrapped them around Roy's neck, gently pressing her white head against Roy's chest. Listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, she pursed her lips tightly, her neck slightly flushed.

Before long, Roy carried Latie to the top of Witch Island, where Finage's cottage was halfway up the hill.

Upon arriving here, Latie seemed to remember something, struggled to get out of Roy's arms, and then straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes.

Fenegi naturally learned of Roy and his companion's arrival immediately.

She stepped out of the wooden house, glanced at Latie who looked somewhat uneasy, a smile in her eyes, and then looked at Roy: "Judging from your expressions, this trip to the Black Mist Forbidden Zone didn't go very smoothly?"

"Smoothly, yet not smoothly," Roy shook his head, uttering a somewhat contradictory statement.
