Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Hex held Inessa's hand and quickly traversed the underground pipes.

From above, the mournful screams of humans could be heard intermittently, along with the thunderous footsteps of hordes of monsters moving rapidly.

Combined with the dark and oppressive atmosphere inside the pipes, a sense of dread washes over you, making it hard to breathe.

As the two walked, low-level monsters would occasionally dart out from the corners.

Following the scent of living people, they accurately located the two people's hiding place.

Of course, Hextech showed no mercy to these insignificant low-level monsters.

Each strike transformed these monsters into layers upon layers of steel.

When Hex crushed another giant dog-like monster, Inessa suddenly grabbed his hand tightly.

"Mr. Hex, this can't go on," she whispered.

"The more frequently we fight, the louder the fighting will become."

"Moreover, since we are tainted with the flesh and blood of hellish monsters, we will attract them."

"After all, their instinct is to hunt down humans who pose a threat."

Inessa was, after all, a professional nun.

Although it was her first time encountering the Gates of Hell event, she had a lot of experience in dealing with monsters.

Monsters are different from ordinary wild beasts; they not only track the scent of the living, but also the scent of monsters that cling to them.

The more monsters a person kills, the stronger their aura becomes, and the more monsters will target them.

It's like the more monsters you kill, the stronger that person becomes.

Unless it's a warrior like a paladin with almost unlimited stamina, other elites can easily be overwhelmed and killed by monsters.

Hextech hadn't considered those details and asked bluntly, "Do you have a plan?"

"The church's scriptures record that most low-level monsters are not very intelligent," Inessa said in a deep voice.

"We can cleanse you with water, and then I will bestow a holy blessing upon you."

"This can greatly reduce the demonic aura on us."

Hex vaguely knew that there was a purification ritual in the Old Testament, Leviticus, which stipulated washing the body and utensils with clean water, symbolizing getting rid of defilement and being able to draw closer to God.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Hex glanced at the bucket of water on his back, surprised that it would be put to use so soon.

In this life-or-death situation, Inessa no longer cared about sectarian rules.

The sect's precepts clearly stipulate that nuns must not touch unmarried men of the same age and must maintain absolute devotion in body and mind.

But for now, she could only dip her hands in water and carefully apply it to Hex's already tattered clothes. The moment her fingertips touched Hex's body, Inessa felt a surge of life force, almost burning hot.

The scalding heat made her fingertips tremble involuntarily.

She could only slowly apply the ointment along Hex's chest, but Hex was now over two meters tall.

Even though Inessa was tall, she only reached below his shoulders.

To cover her upper body with the paint, she had to lean gently against Hex.

The man's intense hormonal scent and the hard, rough-textured skin her fingertips touched made her heart pound wildly.

The rapid, intense heartbeat was so loud that even Hex beside him could hear it clearly.

Hex glanced down and saw that the little nun in front of her was in a daze, her eyes filled with inexplicable panic, and her cheeks were slightly hot.

Hextech's lips twitched, instantly recalling the giant bat's judgment of Inessa in the underground altar.

A contrast?!

The more aloof and noble a person appears on the outside, the more intense their emotional fluctuations are in private.

However, he had no time to dwell on these ambiguous feelings, since both of them were filthy and had no romantic thoughts whatsoever.

"Nun, are you done?"

Inessa suddenly woke up as if from a dream, only to find that her hands were pressed tightly against Hextech's well-defined abdominal muscles.

She recoiled as if electrocuted, turning her face away with feigned composure: "It's all better now."

"Let's leave immediately!"

Just as I turned around and took a step, I heard a loud "bang".

The dilapidated sewer ceiling was suddenly smashed through!

Hextech instantly shielded Ireneza behind him, and the next second, a thin, barbed snake tongue shot straight toward Ireneza's face!

Still caught up in the chaos of the moment, Inessa didn't react for a moment.

Hextech reacted swiftly, stepping forward and gripping the long, barbed tongue tightly, forcefully pulling the monster in front of him.

This is not a common monster found underground, but a strange creature with six legs, its entire body covered in hard barbs, and even its tongue is covered in sharp spikes.

Forced to be pulled in front of Hextech, the monster instantly went into a state of stress, and the barbs all over its body suddenly exploded, shooting towards Hextech at high speed with a "whoosh"!

The distance was too short; Hextech had nowhere to hide.

Once he dodges, Inessa behind him will be riddled with poisonous thorns.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hextech turned his back and took the full force of the poison sting attack with his own back!

A dense, stinging pain instantly pierced his skin, and Hextech groaned.

But after becoming a Bristleback, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the monster's long tongue, and with another burst of strength, slammed the monster hard against the wall.

Before the monster could struggle, Hextech stared at the red dot flashing and forming above its head and slammed his fist down!

The monster's head instantly shattered like a watermelon, its flesh and blood scattering everywhere.

"Mr. Hextech, are you alright?"

Inessa then came to her senses, filled with regret.

She looked at the dozen or so poisonous thorns stuck in Hextech's back, and her eyes reddened with guilt.

"fine."

Hextech's back muscles tensed and jerked violently, instantly squeezing out the venomous stingers embedded in his flesh, leaving only a dozen or so small holes oozing black blood.

"This is a four-legged serpent dog, the most common monster in Hell." Hex glanced at his own condition.

The panel simply displayed a new "Poisoned" status that was expected to last for three minutes.

This amount of toxin only deducts a fraction of a drop of health per second, which is perfectly manageable.

"The stinger contains a chronic toxin."

"But it's getting increasingly unsafe here, let's go!"

It just so happened that the four-legged serpent dog launched its attack from the top of the roof, and after the roof collapsed, the two of them were able to see the sky outside.

Hex helped Inessa climb out of the sewer through the breach and back to the surface.

Even someone who's played up to Chapter 12 of the game couldn't help but be shocked by the sight before them.

A blood moon hangs in the sky.

It wasn't a bright blood red, but a dark crimson with a putrid, foul odor.

The crimson light spilled across the earth, and as far as the eye could see, only three or four streets in the upper city were enveloped in it, without engulfing the entire upper city.

Beyond this blood-red street lies a bottomless, boundless darkness.

It was as if the entire city had been forcibly cut off from Manchester and thrown into the chaotic void of hell.

This is no longer a home for humans; it has become a paradise for hellish monsters.

Demonic hounds roamed the ground, and bat-like birds circled in the sky, their eerie, shrill cries echoing endlessly.

All sorts of strange monsters crawled all over the human buildings.

They were enjoying a bloody feast, frantically devouring the humans dragged out of the houses, with desperate screams echoing from every street corner and building.

One monster after another burst through the tightly closed doors of human homes, dragging out helpless ordinary people and slaughtering them indiscriminately.

"It's all my fault." Inessa's expression was filled with unbearable regret and pain, and her voice trembled slightly.

"If I had organized everyone to evacuate immediately, if I had cleared the cultists from the upper city sooner, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."

"Alright, there's no point in saying all this now," Hex interrupted.

"We need to think about how to survive for at least the next seven days."

At that moment, a crisp gunshot pierced the blood-soaked night sky.
