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

This thing went down an unknown depth and extended an unknown distance in all directions.

Ebisu standing on it is like having an infinitely rechargeable charging cable.

Once you disperse the foul air from it, the unclean soil will replenish it.

Even if you break through the impure soil, even deeper impure soil will surge up from below.

Endless.

That's why Ebisu was able to perform so well in the battle just now—not because it was particularly strong, but because it was in such a good position.

It's like when you're playing a game and you encounter a boss; the boss's stats are just so-so.

But it was standing on a fountain that regenerated 10% of its health per second.

But then again—no matter how bad it is, the difference in status can't be bridged by home advantage alone.

The position of the Calamity Realm was indeed a step behind when it first encountered resistance from the power of the Underworld.

The turbid energy tide slowed down the advance of the black mist.

The two forces were locked in a stalemate for a time.

But the stalemate only lasted about three seconds.

Then the realm of calamity was crushed.

It wasn't because Gu Xu increased his output.

He maintained that posture the whole time, with two fingers together and an expression that even seemed a little bored.

It's because the power of the underworld couldn't withstand it anymore.

Between two concept-level rules, the rigidity of the rules differs significantly.

Ebisu's Yomi Edo Body is indeed a conceptual-level domain, but Gu Xu's Calamity Domain is also a conceptual-level domain, and it is a conceptual-level domain of the Ancient Lords.

The backlash from the power of the underworld was suppressed by the Domain of Calamity.

The turbid energy tide retreated step by step under the crushing force of the black mist, like rising seawater encountering a suddenly appearing dam.

The energy piled up, surged, and struggled in front of the dam for a few seconds before being forcefully pushed back by the dam.

The filth aura surrounding Ebisu began to shrink violently under the suppression of the Calamity Domain.

The million ravens that had previously warned the dead spent a long time pecking at it before it shrank its territory by ten meters.

Now, Gu Xu personally stepped in, pressing down with two fingers, and the domain shrank by more than a hundred meters.

The yellow foul air that originally covered the entire courtyard was compressed to a range of less than fifty meters around Ebisu's body.

The foul odor became thick and viscous, like a towel that had been wrung out.

All the "juice" was squeezed into this last small area.

Ebisu's unclean rebirth effect is also greatly reduced.

Previously, the wounds caused by the Disintegration Ray from the Eye of the Past could heal in three seconds. Now that the Edo Tensei Domain has been compressed so much, the energy returned to Ebisu has also been greatly reduced.

The same wound now takes eight seconds to heal.

Eight seconds versus three seconds, that's a considerable difference.

The five servants of calamity immediately sensed the change in the battlefield situation.

They do not need Gu Xu to give orders.

As servants of calamity, they no longer need language to cooperate with their hosts.

The host has suppressed the BOSS's domain; every servant of calamity knows what to do next.

Output.

Beat them to death.

Unsurprisingly, Ebisu's health bar finally started to drop at a considerable rate.

Eighty percent.

Seventy percent.

Sixty percent.

At every juncture, Ebisu was struggling.

It writhed and twisted, its suckers spraying yellow slime as it tried to expand its filthy territory again.

But the realm of calamity held its boundaries firmly like an iron hand.

Don't let it extend even an inch further.

Fifty percent.

Ebisu used the "Many Fish Devouring" technique again.

This time, the number of rotten sea bream that spewed out was greater and the density was higher than last time.

But the black mist of the Calamity Realm had already enveloped the entire courtyard.

The fish had barely escaped their mouths and hadn't even flown five meters before they were crushed into dust by the black mist.

It's like delivering takeout.

I ordered 10,000 servings, but they all spoiled on the way, and not a single one was delivered.

Forty percent.

Ebisu's neighing changed tone.

The initial rage turned into a frequency that resembled wailing.

On that round, chubby face, two slit-like eyes glared desperately outwards.

It almost popped out from the pressure of the fat.

It wanted to run away.

A level 95 lord-level BOSS, under the combined attack of five servants of calamity and the suppression of Gu Xu's own calamity domain, began to consider running away.

But they can't escape.

Ebisu struggled desperately upwards, his mound of fat writhing violently on the gravelly ground.

He tried to lift his heavy body.

Then the Eye of the Ancients aimed at its "face" and fired a Disintegration Ray.

The right half of that round, chubby face was completely erased.

The black hat flew away, and the fat turned into gray powder, revealing a mass of dark red flesh inside.

Ebisu screamed and crashed heavily to the ground.

Thirty-five percent.

Thirty-two.

Thirty-one.

The health bar is approaching that line at an irreversible rate.

Thirty percent.

The gravedigger has been waiting for this number.

This three-meter-tall, stooped giant has stood silently in place since the start of the battle, except for shaking the lamp twice. He remains motionless.

He remained silent.

He just stood there silently, bent over, like a statue.

But at the very moment Ebisu's health dropped to 30%.

The tomb keeper moved.

It raised the rusty bronze lamp in its hand.

This time, the lights were no longer gray or black.

The lights went out.

It was completely extinguished.

But at the very instant the light went out, an invisible shockwave, transcending the realm of sound, exploded from the bronze lamp.

"Thump!"

The death knell, the third tone.

Funeral procession.

There was no sound.

Or rather, its sound has exceeded the frequency that any ear can perceive.

None of the servants of calamity present heard a sound. Neither did Gu Xu.

But Ebisu heard it.

At that moment, all the struggles of that giant worm ceased.

It's like a machine running at full power suddenly having its power cord unplugged.

The suction cups stopped spraying, the body stopped twisting, and the mouth stopped making noises.

On that fat face, half of which had been blasted away by the disintegrating ray, the remaining yellow eye slowly turned and looked in the direction of the gravedigger.

There was fear in those eyes.

There is anger.

There was resentment.

On Ebisu's health bar, the number that was slowly increasing stopped the moment the third toll of the death knell fell—

Zero.

There was no transition.

There was no gradual decline from 30% to 20% and then to 10%.

It jumped directly from 30% to zero.

Forced execution.

This is the effect of the gravedigger's third toll.

Health points below 30%?

Then you should die.

Ebisu let out a final screech.

But the hiss had lost all its strength, sounding like a deflated ball being stomped on one last time.

Then its body began to collapse.

The plump, hill-like worm-like body resembled a tent with its skeleton removed.
