God, is that you?


    Ahhh!!!~


    Those captured by the octopus-faced creature now found themselves falling at an incredible speed.


    Their hands red in all directions, and their eyes widened in horror.


    F***! F***! F***!


    They thought they were saved, only to realize they were being dropped from this height to stter like goo.


    That is, do you know how high they were? Some felt they were falling from a 5 story building, while others thought it was akin to a 7 story one.


    And looking at the rough grounds now, wouldn''t they be minced by gravity on a chopping board?


    Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!~


    The ground was getting closer and closer. And just when they thought they could be a thing of the past, they felt their bodies hugged.


    Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Old Hou, Ruddie, and Xiang Shore had stopped in, grabbing them one by one.


    Ah--


    Many were still in a daze when their feet touched the ground.


    Plop.


    The impact was terrible, as they felt their wobbly legs give up.


    Bho Jin and the Navy officer wanted to jump and scream joyfully seeing the gang''s arrival.


    Hahahahahahahahaha~


    "They''re here! The Grandmaster and his team are here!"


    "I knew they wouldn''t fail us! I knew there was nothing to worry about!!"


    The duo couldn''t stop grinning, watching everyone, including Gia Ming and the rest arrive.


    "Grandpa!!"


    Bho Jin had never missed his grandfather so much. Old Bho''s eyes were red.


    "What did these bastards do to you? Why have you lost so much weight? They haven''t touched you anywhere else, have they?"


    Old Bho scrutinized his beloved Grandson up, down, and all around.


    They had only been away from each other for a short while. Yet he was acting like it had been years. But who could me him?


    After all the phycological torture his mind put him through, he thought he would be arriving to see his grandson''s skeleton.


    "The paper... Where is the paper?"


    "Eh? The paper?"


    Old Bho didn''t bother talking to his foolish grandson anymore, checking his body and finally sighing from relief, seeing the paper was still on him.


    Maybe this was what kept the fool safe without him even knowing it.


    Yes!...


    Recalling the strange talisman the Grandmaster gave them, the Navy officer also felt they might not have been affected by this ce.


    Some victims here told them their experiences, exining that just minutes after being thrown in here, they should start seeing boils and warts appear on their bodies.


    However, the duo was fine even after so long. So what could it be if not the special paper?


    Again, they realized that even if these creatures had an eye for them, they would remain safe provided they had these papers.


    It''s good...


    .


    The boss creature on the other hand, seemed to have expected their arrival.


    It calmly lifted his face, smiling unnaturally with its mouth stretched towards its ears. And suddenly, the temperature dropped, turning icy cold.


    But this wasn''t all.


    Now, a ghastly screen of fog appeared out of thin air, crawling and seeping through the cracks along the fiery holes on the walls.


    Oh no! What should they do?


    The creepy fog made everyone''s senses heightened.


    They were already petrified to the heavens! And now, this fog appears, mysteriously chilling their bodies, as though something evil was swimming in it.


    Mommy…


    Many released hit wet fluids from below, falling to their buts and crawling backward, trying their hardest to escape the fog.


    Hahahhahahahaha~


    The eerieughter from the Octopus faced creature was enough to make some faint.


    Its focus was only on a particr human before it.


    "Foolish mortal... Initially, I wanted to y with you a while longer. But now, I''ve changed my mind." He spoke slowly, gesturing at the 3 of its precious tentacles that had been cut off.


    These tentacles took hundreds of years to grow.


    To say it wasn''t furious would be a lie.


    .


    Its eyes suddenly grew golden, and its voice a thousand times bigger.


    "Human... If you think this is the height of my strength, then you are nothing but a fool!"


    What?!


    A terrifying aura stretch out across the scene, making everyone drop to their knees.


    So strong!


    It was as if a giant invisible hand was pushing them down. Even if they wanted to stand, they found they might truly break their bones doing so.


    Good heavens! What sort of power was this?


    They struggled to breathe, panting heavily on their knees.


    Crack! Crack! Crack!


    The creature''s inner lines cracked, metamorphosing into something unspeakable.


    It ripped out of the body they initially thought was it, with its body hunched and its ck wings growing 5 times bigger.


    If many could raise their quivering fingers, they would definitely point at it, screaming: Demon!


    It was funny to say they had already seen all sorts of beings while in here.


    But this one... This one made them understand the difference between a true demon and the lot.


    "Grahhhh~"


    It twitched and spasmed as its tail shot out, followed by its ck protruding horns.


    It looked like something straight out of a myth. And the bugs flying in its mouth were crunched and chewed on like snacks.


    Grow... Grow... Grow!


    Its tentacle beards grew even bigger, except for the 3 ones cut down.


    And while everyone''s face was pale with worry, Dorian''s demeanor had always been the same.


    He had his hands in pockets, and his expression looked bored. "Are you done?"


    He didn''t know why these underworld beings loved talking too much.


    For once, he would like to meet a being that would cut the bullish** and get straight to it.


    So noisy.


    .


    What?


    As the creature changed, it too sensed the aura around Dorian and was taken aback.


    How can this be? Why was this human still not giving out a single ounce of fear?


    Though it was a Dintia Rank Creature above the Solum rank or was still a general!


    That''s right.


    The weakest rank all creatures fell into was the Solum rank,prised of underworld beings no older than 300 years.


    Above this rank was the Bortho Rank with those between 300 to 1000 years. And finally, the Dintia Rank for underworld beings between 1,001 to 5,000 years!


    Ultimately, it had lived for 3,200 years, which was more than any damn human could live. Its strength, in its opinion, was no match for any mortal.


    It knew those in the underworld would return a year and a halfter. So during this time, it would be a lie to say it wasn''t feeling mightily arrogant.


    It squinted its eyes, scrutinizing the human even more.


    ''Could it be that this bloody human has brainwashed himself so much that he thinks his fallen holy object will be a match for my Dintia strength? How Naive!''


    It was a general, though of the weakest order! So how could a mere mortal defeat it?


    Boom!


    Its transformation was finallypleted. And with a menacing smile, it twirled its demonic battle ax fiercely.


    That''s right. As a general, even if he was but nothing in the underworld, his general title allowed him to possess a demonic weapon.


    Its ax was attached to a 2-meter tall staff, so heavy it could destroy a single pir upon impact.


    .


    "Human... Let''s dance."


    Dorian raised his brow yfully. "With pleasure."


    Hmph!


    "Ignorant wanton!"


    The fierce General vanished into thin air, moving towards the human it thought was frozen in awe of its skills.


    The creature sneered disdainfully, raising its battle ax. "Elixus!"


    Boom!


    A powerful force swept across the entire space as everyone felt what seemed like hurricane winds blow them back.


    Phuck!


    Bho Jin''s eyes twinkled, recalling the mythical scene he witnessed.


    Impact!... All this was from impact alone!


    His heart stirred, seeing the 2 figures floating above.


    Their weapons were now touching one another, but it was clear to see one person struggling to push their enemy with everything they had, while the other only lookedzy, as though holding back a crawling baby.


    "_"


    Why does this scene look like bullying?


    "You--"


    The shock in the general''s eyes was obvious. But his rage was even stronger. Seeing Dorian''s nonchnt expression, it felt its entire being insted. And for a moment, its rationality was taken over by its rage.


    "Bastard! You dare look down on me?"


    It swung its mighty battle ax while also using its tentacles to stab the irritating human before it.


    ''What the hell? I am a demon! I am a demon! So why are you stronger?''


    Die! Die! Die! Die!


    Its muscles bulged, desperately wanting tond a hit on its opponent. Sadly, Dorian seemed to have predicted its every move. Not only daring some attacks but also giving the general a taste of his strength.


    Dorian raised his feet, and the general flew to the skies.


    Boom!


    The general''s face now showed a frightened expression. That attack just now had done something to his inner body. The general''s had a mortified look.


    This human...


    Who was he?
