I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The moment the special individual spoke human words, the entire cavity fell silent for a brief moment.

The next moment, everyone's breathing became heavier.

Because the ghouls can actually speak human language.

This is virtually impossible. To date, aside from exceptional individuals at the transcendent level, no other supernatural being can speak human language; they can only bewitch people or communicate in other ways. Unless... it has become some kind of forbidden existence.

Everyone realized it at that moment.

Klaus's bone ring had transformed in the blink of an eye, a longsword the color of withered bones bursting forth from between his fingers, green light flowing wildly along the patterns on its spine. His figure vanished from the spot at the same time.

As he charged forward, his other hand reached inside his coat and pulled out a small object.

A small bronze bell, the Ghost Bell.

A green light flashed in Klaus's hand, and the Ghost Bell rang.

The ringtone wasn't loud, it could even be described as very faint, yet its quality was deep and lingering. The moment the sound entered the ear, it was as if someone had struck deep into the head, causing a wave of dizziness.

The moment the bell rang, the figure of the peculiar individual trembled violently. Its muscles stiffened, and its fingers, pressed against the bronze pillar, slightly parted, clearly frozen in place.

Klaus immediately understood that this thing was not a transcendent existence, nor had it reached the forbidden level, nor had it reached the fifth rank; it was merely a special fourth-rank entity.

What are we waiting for?

The moment Klaus charged forward, the bone sword flashed out, its dark green light surging violently. Several afterimages exploded behind him, crisscrossing as his true form appeared before the creature.

The moment Klaus's bone sword fell, the afterimage's hand also fell at the same time, its target being the hand that was pressing against the bronze pillar.

The moment the bone sword fell, the special entity finally reacted. Its other hand slammed down on the pillar, and the roots wrapped around the bronze pillar tightened all at once, as if they had received a command.

The next moment, the inscriptions on the bronze pillar suddenly lit up, and dark golden light shot out from every line, almost blindingly bright. An invisible pressure emanated from the bronze pillar and rolled outwards in all directions; that was the oppressive force of the bronze pillar.

Lu Yuan tensed up, but his body wasn't restricted by the pressure. This pressure was extremely effective against strange and mutated superhumans, but it had little effect on knowledge-based superhumans who were almost harmless. Besides, Lu Yuan was only at the second tier, so this thing's suppression of him was already very poor, which could be considered one of the advantages of being at the second tier.

But the other members of the team were different.

Adrian, being of extraordinary faith, wasn't particularly struck by the shock, but the scriptures on his chest still jerked abruptly. The attendant did the same; he let out a muffled groan, and the purple light around him tightened slightly.

Margaret was in a worse state; her forward momentum faltered slightly, and the water she had summoned vanished into thin air.

Klaus, however, did not stop under such immense pressure.

His bone sword fell without hesitation. As the dark green light surged on the blade, something on his chest emitted a faint silver light.

It was the inscribed silver piece pasted on his inside, one of the three inscribed silver pieces that Boren left for Lu Yuan.

During his descent, Lu Yuan handed one silver plate each to Klaus and his attendant, as they were the main force against the special individuals. As for Margaret, Lu Yuan didn't want her to participate... her body seemed to be being eroded by something, and if this continued, she might be the first to give way. He himself didn't care, as he didn't really need it.

With the silver foil's enhancement, Klaus's sword slashed fiercely at the special individual's right wrist. The sensation of the bone sword cutting into the skin was felt, followed by a very faint hissing sound. Green crystals instantly oozed from the cut edge, and even showed a faint tendency to spread along the entire arm.

The special individual seemed unaware that it had been struck by the longsword.

Its body suddenly swelled up, its original size of an adult suddenly growing to a full circle, its flesh twisting and churning, its ribs bulging out of its body and then suddenly retracting, its entire body twisting and contorting, like a clay figure that had been reshaped.

The next moment, it crashed into Klaus in this bizarre posture.

The moment the two figures touched, a dark red mist of blood exploded outwards from its center.

The dark red blood mist expanded to seven or eight meters, forming a sphere that enveloped Klaus along with it.

And Lu Yuan's gray and white text finally appeared.

[Detection Target: Ghoul (Atavism) (Synchronization) (Forbidden)]

[A ghoul chosen by a special being, after countless long trials, has finally grown into its current form. Perhaps, it has the potential to travel to the progenitor of ghouls.]

[Weakness: Limited energy.]

As soon as Lu Yuan saw the words, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Kill it a few more times! It won't last long!"

Its weaknesses are clearly stated: its energy is limited. Whether it uses its self-healing abilities or releases a cloud of blood, it all requires the same thing to replenish it. If you kill it enough times, it will eventually be drained.

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yuan had already crushed a ghoul's brain core in his hand. The grayish-brown outer shell shattered, and an even stronger ghoul aura enveloped him, masking his movements. Using this cover, he quietly moved towards the bronze pillar.

Just as Klaus was completely enveloped in the blood mist, the Blue Knight also vanished from the spot.

Carrying the enormous silver coffin on her back, her movements were completely unrestricted. Several blue threads were wrapped around the coffin, securing it firmly to prevent it from slipping off. Her red rapier was already drawn.

The Blue Knight was known for his physical prowess. The moment he approached the blood mist, his rapiers flew like rain, carving a path through the blood mist and charging straight in.

The next moment, a burst of green light suddenly exploded deep within the blood mist, forcibly dispersing the seven- or eight-meter-wide blood mist domain.

In that instant, Lu Yuan also saw the situation inside clearly.

That special individual was now covered in green crystals. And the afterimage behind Klaus shattered.

Clearly, in that brief exchange, Klaus paid the price of leaving an afterimage to forcefully injure it.

The special ghoul let out a mournful howl.

This time, it's different from the severe damage it suffered before.

Klaus's ability was extremely polluting and corrosive; even ghouls, known for their corrosive properties, were gradually covered by the green crystals.

This alone is enough to show how powerful Klaus's extraordinary path is.

The Blue Knight stuck it on.

The special individual showed no sign of backing down. Instead, it frantically urged the forest seed to grow stronger, its roots biting the bronze pillar with all its might, the pressure emanating from the pillar growing heavier with each passing layer.

The light from the silver plaque on Klaus's chest was already so weak that it was about to give way.

Taking advantage of the scent of the ground, Lu Yuan quietly moved a few steps closer to the bronze pillar.

The attendant didn't rush forward. He activated the purple light to seal all the openings around the cavity, setting up defenses while keeping an eye on each gap for warnings. He was just waiting for the blood mist to dissipate before he could strike and kill the thing.

The Great Ascendant had already reached the edge of the blood mist, poised to strike and ready to deliver a finishing blow at any moment.

Adrian and Margaret stayed together. Margaret didn't step forward immediately; instead, she stood beside the old bishop, her expression unchanged, but her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings... She was shielding Adrian, guarding against any sudden sneak attacks.

Just as Lu Yuan lowered his breath and slowly moved towards the bronze pillar, the battle between Klaus and the Blue Knight on the other side of the pillar had reached a fever pitch.

The peculiar ghoul's flesh churned and twisted as it desperately tried to push back the green crystal layer on its body, but the effect was not ideal.

It didn't give up; instead, it pounced on Klaus like a madman.

Klaus, however, was not afraid at all. The Blue Knight stood in front of him.

The blue knight's red rapier clashed head-on with the ghoul's attack. Those hands, capable of corroding almost anything, couldn't even leave a scratch before this unassuming rapier.

Even Klaus, standing to the side, couldn't help but take a few more glances. He had acquired all his possessions at great cost, but the Blue Knight's rapier, though seemingly unremarkable, possessed an absurdly strong resilience and was completely protected from corrosion and contamination.

The red rapier collided with the ghoul's hand and pierced straight into flesh.

The special ghoul seemed to realize that a head-on confrontation would not yield any benefits, so it tried to bypass the Blue Knight and engage in close combat, forcibly exchanging blows with her, trading injury for injury.

But the Blue Knight was not so easy to approach. Every attempt it made to attack was completely thwarted by that rapier, leaving it with hundreds of wounds on its hands, yet it couldn't even get close to her.

The special ghoul finally realized something was wrong.

Its body swelled up again, and countless blood-red bubbles bulged from its entire body.

The Blue Knight seemed to have seen through its plan. It spun its sword and created an impenetrable net of swords in front of itself and Klaus.

The next moment, all the bubbles burst open, spraying large amounts of blood in all directions, but the Blue Knight's sword strikes blocked them all.

The ascended beings on the side were not so lucky.

He was only a dozen meters away from the special individual. Although he managed to dodge the sudden rain of blood in time, a few drops still splashed onto him. The left breastplate, stained with blood, was instantly corroded. The Ascended One's expression changed, and he immediately tore off the entire plate.

The body, which should have been entirely mechanical, revealed, upon being opened, a glimpse of flesh and blood beneath, with some of the flesh still clinging to the silver metal.

Lu Yuan watched this scene from afar... The Great Ascendants weren't actually all mechanical?

After spitting out that blood bubble, the special individual advanced instead of retreating, and its hands, covered in blood and flesh, slammed down.

No, it should be said that he was completely blocked by the Blue Knight's rapier.

The Blue Knight took two steps back, a rare occurrence, and her sword emitted a faint hum. She had blocked it.

The next moment, the attacks of the special ghouls rained down like a dense storm. Blue wisps swirled around the Blue Knight, his rapier clashing repeatedly with those fists, the entire cavity filled with the roar of blades colliding with flesh.
