Reborn as a dragon, I devoured the main godhead.

As soon as Hemeth entered the castle, he sensed an atmosphere completely different from the outside world.

Here, instead of the raging winds and scorching sun of the desert, there is a chill and oppression.

The interior of the castle was dimly lit, with only the occasional torch casting flickering shadows on the walls.

He looked around warily and found that the castle’s interior was intricately structured, with corridors and rooms seemingly distributed haphazardly.

Heimers knew that this was probably a labyrinth specially designed by the castle's owner for defense.

Where exactly is the Golden Knife hidden?

Heimers thought to himself, "Where the hell are the promised sand bandits and the promised Golden Sword?"

"Damn it, this devilish test might be another trap!"

He was utterly speechless.

Sometimes, Heimers couldn't help but wonder if he had some hidden hazard.

Everywhere you go, there are pitfalls!

The encounter with the Bismarck volcanoes was the most peaceful one yet.

But if Salasis weren't a physical combat maniac, or if the volcanic giants didn't like tough guys like him.

It's likely to be another bloody battle.

"Never mind that for now, I need to do my best to complete this assessment task."

He must find his target as soon as possible, otherwise the competition will become even more intense once other demon examinees also find clues.

Since the intelligence was flawed, Heimers had no choice but to consider the worst-case scenario.

What hundreds of bandits? Think of the worst-case scenario, maybe there are only a few.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Just as he was about to break through the earthen and stone walls that blocked the castle, a low laugh echoed through the castle, as if something was secretly watching Hemeros and his companions.

Heimers' intuition told him that the owner of that laughter was no ordinary person.

He might even be the owner of the entire Zhelan Castle.

That's also the most terrifying one.

"Swish swish~!"

Dozens of figures appeared; they were the group of demonic examiners.

With over a thousand people, plus the star-level demons, the total number exceeds a thousand. It's truly inevitable that they would encounter each other in the Fortress of Shelters.

"Welcome to the Fortress of Obstruction, brave demon examiners."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, "I am the gatekeeper here. If you want to obtain the Golden Blade of Protection, you must first pass my test."

"Holy crap! There was definitely something wrong! How did that damned gatekeeper know the quest item was the Golden Blade of Concealment?"

"Is there a traitor in Demon Castle, or is there a traitor among these demon examinees?"

Heimers was startled.

His first reaction was, of course, to blame others.

The people of Demon Castle, and those who participated in the Demon Trial.

"Don't move. Everyone, don't get close to each other. I have reason to suspect that some of you are spies."

Someone shouted loudly.

This also represents the sentiments of most of the demon examinees.

Heimers and the other demon examiners exchanged glances, each able to see the wariness and determination in the other's eyes.

They knew this would be a life-or-death struggle, and only the strongest would survive.

The gatekeeper's figure gradually appeared in the darkness; he was wearing a tattered black and gray robe.

He wore a hideous mask and held a scepter in his hand.

If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd stumbled into a medieval wizarding world. Is this guy Cospree?

"Come on, let me see your strength." The gatekeeper's voice carried a hint of mockery.

Hemeros clenched his fist.

He could sense the fluctuations in the souls of the other demon examinees.

Clearly, they were also somewhat withdrawn by this bizarre turn of events.

But Heimers knew that this was just the beginning.

There may be more dangers waiting for them in this sheltered castle.

"Let's begin!"

Heimers said in a deep voice.

His figure suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the so-called gatekeeper.

The other demon examinees were not to be outdone, and they all unleashed their special moves to attack the gatekeeper.

Block the golden knife!

No matter how bizarre the unfolding of this mission may be, the token of the Demon Trial is the Golden Blade of Protection.

Only by obtaining the Golden Sword that blocks the way can the assessment task be considered complete.

Otherwise, let's not talk about anything else.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a cloud of yellow sand filled the entire Zhelan Castle, instantly obscuring Heimers' and his companions' view.

At the same time, a faint black mist began to spread.

Even before the battle began, the castle was already echoing with the sounds of intense collisions and energy fluctuations.

Chapter 20 Collapse

"Oh no, my vision and my consciousness have been blocked."

One of the demonic examiners exclaimed in surprise.

Then, screams could be heard one after another.

"Om~!"

Hemos felt a jolt in his mind, his consciousness rippled, and then he felt nothing else unusual.

"Everyone be careful, there's something fishy about that blond, muscular man!"

A group of mysterious people dressed in khaki armor moved continuously through the grid-like rooms of the ancient castle.

"Ah, a sneak attack!"

"Damn it, why did you attack me?"

"Puff puff puff~!"

Screams and the clanging of weapons filled the air.

Hemerus, relying on his strength and combat experience, engaged in fierce battles with the yellow-armored men who appeared from time to time.

The man in yellow armor was holding the golden knife described in the token.

Because the bright color is so distinctive.

"Bang!"

He punched a yellow-armored man who tried to ambush him, blasting him to pieces.

He casually tossed the mangled body into his spatial ring, intending to sift through it carefully later, rather than swallowing it all at once.

The amount of inkstones needed to refine the power of the main god is terrifying, and it is not a wealth that can be accumulated in a short period of time.

Only one person was killed.

Hemeros also acquired a Golden Blade of Protection, which effectively secured his place in the Demon Trial mission ahead of time.

then,

He was no longer in a hurry to kill the yellow-armored man, but instead carefully observed the yellow space in front of him.

"This yellow sand domain is interesting; it seems to be a fusion technique used by a powerful cultivator who practices the laws of the earth."

Having also cultivated the laws of the earth, Heimers possesses a higher potential for talent and naturally possesses exceptional eyesight.

The key point was immediately apparent.

"Earth element, gravity space, and it seems there's also the art of earth movement."

Since the Yellow Armored People can freely move between the Fortress of Shelter, this must involve the profound mysteries of earth-based movement techniques.

"It's not perfect; the Huangsha area seems to have quite a few flaws."

Heimus simply stood there, his eyes constantly flashing with earth-yellow threads of the laws of the earth.

He could see the profound mysteries of the three laws contained within the yellow sand domain at a glance, and he could also detect the parts where the integration was not so smooth.

"Perhaps this is possible."

In that instant, Heimers had already grasped the basics of the Earthwalking Technique.

At the same time, we are exploring the possibility of integrating gravity space with earth-walking techniques.

Of the two profound mysteries of the earth's laws that he currently possesses, power is the first mystery he has comprehended to achieve godhood.

But gravity was what Hemes understood and appreciated most deeply.

Because of the golden space within my body!

Although they are two completely unrelated things, he saw a commonality in them.

This deepens the understanding of the mysteries of gravity and space.

"If I could fully integrate the 'Profound Mysteries of Earth Travel' into my ultimate move 'Shadow of Mist', wouldn't my combat rhythm be even faster?"
