Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

But all of this still couldn't explain why his father possessed such great power. Just as he was about to ask his father what exactly this power was all about...

At the same time, a deafening roar interrupted the father and son's reminiscing.

"Roar--!!!"

A dark purple figure soared through the night sky, tearing through the wind and rain, displaying its absolute violence and twisted form, like a man-made, distorted monster flapping its wings and soaring in the rainy night.

Like a king in this dark night, he commands a group of 'death warriors' who are like ghosts and ghosts.

On the body of that hideous and terrifying twisted monster stood a man in a white suit, looking down at everything. That man was the executor known as "Doctor".

Under his will, even the most horrible and twisted abominations must submit to him.

Even the fiercest winds and torrential rains had to submit to him. His unparalleled figure was like a god looking down upon the mortal world. Even without him saying a word, one could feel the oppressive aura emanating from that figure standing in the sky.

Upon seeing that figure, Kripps' heart sank, and he spoke in a low voice.

"That guy's after us. There's no time left. We have to find a way to get out of here, or the 'Doctor' will catch up with us sooner or later, and then we'll be helpless."

"But Father, you've been here for so long and haven't been able to get out. How can we get back to the real world from this place?"

Diluc stared in astonishment at his father, who had just spoken, as he looked at Cripps.

Kripps remained silent for a moment before replying.

"Actually, there are still ways."

"What can you do?"

Just as Diluc was asking his father in confusion, he saw his father pull out an Evil Eye and a set of sealed test tubes from his pocket.

Even though Diluc didn't know what the test tubes were, he immediately guessed that the test tubes that Cripps had taken out were probably the same set of reagents that his father had stolen.

Just as he was wondering why his father had given him these things, Kripps told him the reason why.

"This is the Evil Eye I stole from the Fools' Research Institute. With it, you'll be able to get out of this place."

"The Evil Eye is a device created by the Fools in imitation of the Eye of God, which allows people to use elemental power. As long as the Evil Eye is used, the user's power can be maximized, and the power of this Evil Eye is extraordinary."

"This evil eye contains the power of the remnants of a demon god. If you, as the holder of the Eye of God, use this evil eye, you will be able to unleash power stronger than mine, thereby breaking this absurd 'dream' and returning to the real world."

"Once you return to the real world, be sure to give this set of reagents I gave you to the Knights, and let Grand Master Falga handle everything. At the same time, you must expose the Fools' conspiracy. Do you understand?"

Diluc was caught off guard by Kripps's words.

Why did his father possess something like the Evil Eye? He stared in astonishment at Kripps, who had handed over the item to him.

He didn't understand why Kripps had given him everything he had.

If the reason why my father, who is an ordinary person and doesn't even have the Eye of God, can possess such great power is because of the evil eye in his hand, then what should Kripps use if he takes away the evil eye?

"Father, if you give this to me, what will you use? How will you get out of here?"

"Don't worry, I have other evil eyes. I've stolen more than one of these."

Kripps looked at his son, smiled, and said comfortingly.

"With my abilities, I cannot fully unleash the power of the Evil Eye to break the 'dream' and return to the real world. Moreover, if the two of us try to escape together, we are destined to fail. Someone has to cover our retreat."

"That won't do! Let's go together!"

Diluc looked at his father and said with some emotion.

For him, it was absolutely unacceptable that he had left his father behind and died first.

Cripps, seeing Diluc's agitation, simply looked at his son with a serious expression and sternly rebuked him.

“This is no joke. You must tell the Knights what happened here and let them handle it. If my son and I both die here, then no one will be able to tell the Knights.”

"But……!"

Diluc wanted to say something more, but when facing his father...

He found that any words seemed pale and powerless.

Although he rationally understood that his father was right, his emotions made it impossible for him to accept such a thing.

Just as he was about to argue further, Kripps adopted a stern fatherly demeanor and reprimanded him.

"Hurry up and leave!"

Diluc hesitated, but then he saw the unwavering look in his father's eyes.

He didn't say much in the end, but simply took the things his father had given him, gritted his teeth, and started running.

Watching Diluc's retreating figure, Kripps shouted at him again.

"No matter what, keep moving forward and don't look back! Remember what I said, never look back! Do you hear me? You absolutely cannot look back!"

Diluc didn't answer; he simply ran forward after hearing his father's words.

As he watched Diluc's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Kripps slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He turned around and looked at the figures clad in the armor of the Knights of Favonius, now transformed into undead, and at the terrifying behemoth in the night sky, and spoke slowly.

"Now, let me deal with you."
