The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"My lord, this beast's den is too filthy. This is all I can clean."

The voice of the ghost bride came through, her tone tinged with apology.

Gu Xu didn't say anything.

His attention had already shifted to the next guy to make a move.

Tucci.

The source of the plague had already begun to stir when the Underworld Marriage Domain and the Yellow Springs Filth Body collided.

The rat, dressed in a tattered cloak and leaning on a human bone cane, darted beneath Ebisu's massive body with an agility completely disproportionate to its size.

It's said to be below, but it's actually the gap between Ebisu's pile of fat and the ground.

The gap was about half a meter high, enough to easily fit a mouse the size of a cat.

After Twitch crawled inside, he slammed his bone cane into the ground, instantly maximizing the decay aura.

The halo exploded.

A green, corrosive aura emanated from Twitch and spread outwards, enveloping Ebisu's entire abdominal area.

According to the effect of the Decay Aura, enemies within the range will have 3% of their maximum health deducted per second.

It cannot be purified, dispelled, or exempted.

This move would have been a devastating weapon against any enemy in the past.

3% of maximum health per second.

Ebisu has 1.9 billion HP, so 3% is 57 million. 57 million per second, that's over 500 million in ten seconds.

Your health will be depleted in thirty seconds.

but--

This is the theoretical value.

The actual situation made Gu Xu frown again.

Twitch's aura of decline has indeed taken hold.

The green, corrosive aura did indeed come into contact with Ebisu's body.

But what happened next was completely unexpected.

Ebisu's skin did indeed show signs of brief ulceration the moment it came into contact with the decay virus—lasting for a fraction of a second.

Then those festering wounds stopped festering.

It wasn't repaired; the decay virus itself was neutralized.

The Yomi Toxin in Ebisu's body is dirtier than Tucci's decay virus.

This is like pouring a bottle of toilet cleaner into a septic tank. Toilet cleaner is indeed corrosive, but the contents of a septic tank are even more corrosive.

The toilet cleaner dissolved as soon as the two sides touched.

Even more deadly is that Ebisu's Yomi Toxin not only neutralized the decay virus, but also pushed it back along the virus's transmission route.

Twitch's aura of decay emanates outwards from him, and the Yellow Springs Toxin flows back in along this diffusion path.

"Squeak squeak squeak?"

Tuchi was taken aback.

It looked down at its paws—the pustules on its paws were no longer oozing green fluid, but yellow fluid.

That yellow liquid wasn't its own.

"squeak!!"

Tucci let out a piercing scream and sprang out from under Ebisu's body, leaning on his cane.

It was moving so fast it looked like someone had stepped on its tail.

After landing, it rolled three times before regaining its balance, its tattered cloak burned through in several holes by the Yellow Springs poison.

Seven or eight of those originally full pustules burst open.

Yellow-green liquid splashed all over the ground.

Tucci squatted on the ground, vigorously pounding the remaining yellow toxins on his body with his bone cane, squeaking and groaning as he did so. His expression roughly translated to: "What is this thing?! It's even dirtier than me! It has no sportsmanship!"

As a servant of calamity known for his "filth," he was devoured by the filth of others.

Twitch was probably the most unhappy of all the servants of calamity tonight.

The attempt to steal chickens by the source of the plague failed.

Not only did it fail to inflict any effective damage on Ebisu, it also suffered a backlash from the Yellow Springs Toxin.

Although the injuries were healed in seconds thanks to the effects of the Undying Spreader.

But this illustrates a crucial point—Twitch's decay aura is basically ineffective against this guy.

The poison in this worm is more potent than the source of the plague.

This is outrageous!!!

Meanwhile, the Eye of the Past completed its energy gathering high in the sky.

A giant fleshy ball hovered above the courtyard, surrounded by smaller eyeballs and tentacles that were writhing wildly.

The nebula spun rapidly within the single eye, like an engine running under overload.

Disintegration rays.

A beam of light shot out from the pupil of the Eye of the Ancients.

There was no sound. An attack of the "existence-erasing" level, such as the Disintegration Ray, would not produce sound because it wiped out even the air in its path. The beam left a straight vacuum band in its path, and the air on both sides of the vacuum band made a belated "pop" as it filled in.

The purple beam of light struck Ebisu's left side with pinpoint accuracy.

This definitely worked.

In the area hit by the disintegrating rays, Ebisu's grayish-yellow skin began to decompose.

The skin and flesh, covering an area of ​​about two square meters, turned into gray powder in less than a second, revealing the dark red internal organs inside.

Ebisu let out a neigh.

The screech was much more piercing than the projection that had appeared outside the secret realm.

After all, this time it was the main body that was being attacked, so the pain was real.

On that round, chubby face, the two slit-like eyes finally opened completely.

For the first time, a feeling akin to anger appeared in his cloudy yellow eyes.

But just when Gu Xu thought that the Disintegration Ray could continue to output considerable damage, Unholy Rebirth was triggered.

The defiled land beneath Ebisu's feet seemed to come alive.

The grayish-black soil churned and turned into a turbid mud stream, climbing up Ebisu's body and quickly filling the wounds caused by the disintegration ray.

The speed at which it was filled was so fast it made you want to curse.

In less than three seconds, the two square meters of skin and flesh that had been wiped off grew back completely.

The color, texture, and even the number of wart-like protrusions and suckers on it were exactly the same as before it was hit.

It's like they've never played before.

A hint of dissatisfaction seemed to flash in the single pupil of the Eye of the Past.

Its tentacles thrashed more violently, and its hissing from the split mouths at the ends grew louder.

But dissatisfaction aside, data is data.

Disintegration rays can indeed harm Ebisu.

There is no doubt about that.

An attack of the "existence erasure" level will still hurt, even if the opponent is a conceptual level of unclean rebirth.

The problem is that the damage output speed can't keep up with the recovery speed.

The damage taken by a single Disintegration Ray can be replenished in three seconds by Unholy Regeneration.

It's not impossible to continuously output damage, but the Disintegration Ray of the Eye of the Ancients has a build-up process, so it's impossible to fire it continuously without interruption.

There is an interval of about four seconds between each two shots.

Four seconds of output, three seconds of response.

It's like you painstakingly unleash a powerful attack, tearing off a piece of flesh, only for it to grow back in the blink of an eye.

It was all for naught.

Meanwhile, the tomb keeper was not idle; he raised the rusty bronze lamp in his hand.

The lights were flickering, as if they might go out at any moment.

But in the instant the gravedigger's fingers gently twitched.

"Thump!"

The first toll of the death knell suddenly exploded.
