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

With that thought in mind, Vera made a decision instantly.

After all, the death countdown above her head had dropped from the initial fifty-nine seconds to less than forty seconds, leaving her no time to hesitate any longer.

What's more troublesome is that the domains these monsters have created are continuing to erode her professional foundation.

All the professional skills that he used to have at his fingertips have now fallen silent.

No matter how much she urged her, she received no response whatsoever.

What she found most unbearable was the overwhelming sense of weakness surging from her limbs and bones, blurring her vision and filling her ears with intermittent, sharp whispers.

Dark blue spots appeared on the exposed skin.

It's fair to say that in those short ten seconds, her condition had already plummeted to its lowest point.

"Damn it!"

Vera gritted her teeth and forced herself to stay calm.

Admittedly, she was on the verge of despair at this moment, but she was, after all, a ruthless character who had crawled out of countless life-and-death battles in the Star Sea.

Especially in situations like this, she knew all too well that panicking would only hasten her death.

The only solution now is to kill that young man.

Only then will there be room for maneuver.

Even if these monsters do not immediately disappear upon the death of their master, they will inevitably become uncontrollable.

Then they will be able to tear a way out of their current hopeless predicament.

The next moment, Vera turned her head sharply, her gaze fixed on Gu Xu, who was standing in front of the ghost sedan chair.

At this moment, Gu Xu did not make a move. He just stood in the thick black fog, his hands casually in his pockets, calmly watching the battlefield.

That posture didn't resemble someone facing a dozen powerful enemies from the Starfall Divine Realm at all.

It's more like watching a farce with no suspense whatsoever.

This complete disregard for her reignited Vera's humiliation and anger.

Since stepping into this lower-dimensional plane, she never imagined that she would be forced to this point.

A local in her eyes, a lowly worker, could make her feel threatened by death.

This is absolutely absurd!

"Even if I'm going to die today, I'll drag you down with me first!"

Vera hardened her heart and gripped the knife hilt tightly with her five fingers.

Due to the existence of the Silence Domain, she is unable to activate any professional skills, but the professional's basic attributes and the energy accumulated in her body will not completely disappear as a result.

Even without using skills, she still possesses immense destructive power solely through her physical strength and the remaining rules of her domain.

However, this primitive attack method is far less powerful than a complete skill.

But she had no other choice.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the space beneath Vera's feet suddenly collapsed. She channeled all the remaining energy she could muster into her legs, and like an arrow released from a bow, she shot straight towards Gu Xu from mid-air.

She was moving so fast that several pale sonic booms exploded in the places she passed through.

The blood-red longsword in his hand also burst forth with a dazzling red light at this moment.

Vera gripped the knife with both hands, lowered her body, and let the blade trail behind her.

Unable to fully utilize her domain power, she forcibly absorbed the remaining crimson energy around her into the blade, and wisps of crimson light converged from all directions.

Although it was far less than the previous sea of ​​raging sharks that blotted out the sky, the longsword in her hand still rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, a blood-red blade of light, a hundred meters long, formed.

Even with its attributes reduced layer by layer, this strike is still enough to split a mountain.

Of course, she also knew in her heart that this one strike might not be enough to take down the young man.

But as long as she creates a big enough commotion to get those strange monsters to come back to her aid, her subordinates will have a chance to regain their professional skills.

At that time, with more than a dozen people simultaneously developing their domains, there is still a chance to turn the tide.

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

Vera let out a low growl, a roar that, though not enhanced by any professional skill, still made the surrounding air buzz.

The distance between the two quickly shortened.

Just as the blade was about to enter the attack range, and the earth-shattering strike was about to fall, Gu Xu remained standing still, without making any move.

He simply watched calmly as the uninvited guest approached.

That look in her eyes made Vera feel inexplicably uneasy.

But now that things have come to this, she can no longer back down.

If she had just gotten a little closer, she could have cleaved the blade completely!

Just as Vera was about to reach Gu Xu, a soft female voice suddenly rang out beside her ear.

"Where are you headed, sir?"

The voice was soft, gentle, and melodious.

But the moment it reached Vera's ears, it sent chills down her spine.

Too close!

It felt as if someone was whispering on her shoulder.

Vera's pupils suddenly contracted. She had been covering her entire body with her mental energy, so no energy fluctuation could escape her perception.

But even after the voice rang out, she didn't realize when the other person had approached.

"Could it be...?"

However, the plaintive female voice did not stop, but continued to speak softly, only now the gentleness had been replaced by a hint of coldness.

"Does Your Excellency intend to harm my husband?"

If the previous sentence was spoken while leaning against her shoulder, then this time, he was truly speaking right next to her ear!

"Hiss~!"

Vera jumped, then gasped and turned sharply toward the source of the sound.

The next moment, what came into her view was an absolutely beautiful face.

The ghost bride had somehow drifted to her right.

The blood-red wedding dress remained completely unaffected by the high-speed movement, its wide hem cascading down.

The red veil on her head was slightly lifted, revealing eyes that were quietly watching her. There was no hysterical rage in those eyes, only a surging killing intent that made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

For the ghost bride, everything in the world is tolerable.

Only someone who intended to harm Gu Xu is unforgivable.

"Grass!"

Vera's heart skipped a beat when she saw the ghost bride who was almost touching her face. The blade that was originally locked on Gu Xu was instantly turned towards the ghost bride, almost on the basis of her fighting instincts.

"Get out of my way!"

She roared and unleashed a long, blood-red blade that she had been holding back for a long time. The hundred-meter-long blade swept across the space between the two of them, and the shockwaves generated by the blood-red energy spread wildly in all directions.

Without a doubt, this was the strongest attack Vera could deliver in her current state. Without the support of professional skills, she poured in most of her remaining strength.

Even a Star Sea powerhouse of Lorian's caliber would be unable to withstand this attack head-on without proper defense.

They would inevitably suffer heavy losses, not to mention this seemingly delicate female ghost.
