Dusk Approaches (Previous Chapter Revised)

"Call!"

Sword of Lava, wreathed in eerie blue flames, was held by the Devil Transformation Luther. Now, horns sprouted from his head, bat wings spread from his back, his figure was tall and sinister, his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty, filled with an unbridled malice.

"Brush!"

The Sword of Lava traced a scorching arc in the air before slashing down at the servant on the ground.

Just then, the other side launched a counterattack.

The waiter suddenly raised his head. Although the golden Dragon's vertical pupils were filled with pain, it wasn't as intense as he had shown earlier. It was likely that the Beyonder Item that allowed him to access Psychology Pathway had alleviated the Mental Shock he had suffered.

So he was just pretending, in order to lure Luther closer!

"Roar!"

A silent, majestic dragon roar suddenly resounded, spreading outwards from him like ripples on water. The roar was filled with madness and malice, as if it could directly stir up the wildest Frenzy in people's hearts.

The "Frenzy" of a "Psychiatrist"!

At this moment, the waiter had already used an extraordinary item, and in a short time, this ability reached the level of Sequence 5!

The biggest problem with the Devil Pathway is that, due to its flamboyant malice and madness, it is extremely susceptible to being controlled by the desire for killing and cruelty, to the point of losing control. Therefore, his goal is to use the full-force "Frenzy" to make this "Devil" go out of control!

Luther was standing right in front of the waiter when the maddening roar struck him completely, echoing in his Mind World.

With the impact of the dragon's roar, Luther's head snapped back abruptly, his body stiffening for a second. His eerie aura surged dramatically, and a ghostly blue flame instantly ignited from his longsword, spreading across his entire body!

"Hehe."

The waiter's face still bore traces of pain, but he managed a forced smile. This method of manipulating people's hearts, bewitching others, and driving them mad was Pathway their way of fighting.

He looked at Luther expectantly, waiting for him to descend into madness and even lose control.

"Call out."

The next instant, the world appeared tilted in the waiter's eyes.

A gigantic Devil standing upright, Sophia staring in astonishment behind it, and the entire opulent, golden washroom...

Everything tilted to his left and slowly floated upwards.

Wrong.

The waiter's smile froze; he suddenly understood something.

It wasn't the world that tilted; it was him who tilted—he was cleaved in two at an angle.

The longsword, burning with eerie blue flames, had somehow ended up beside Luther's legs. It sizzled, burning away the bloodstains on it. Luther stared at him coldly, his Devil Transformation, crimson eyes filled with malice.

He did not lose control due to his Frenzy.

With a thud, the waiter's upper body slid down the cut and fell to the floor. The contents of his body rolled down the slope like a landslide and poured into the water.

Behind him, deep Slash marks were left on the wall of the washroom, the edges of which were smooth and rounded, as if the building material had melted and solidified under high temperature.

"How is that possible..."

The waiter's face was half submerged in the water, and dark golden scales surfaced on his body. He didn't die immediately, but murmured unwillingly. He couldn't understand why the Devil, who was extremely prone to losing control, was not affected by "Frenzy."

Who told you I'm Devil?

Luther did not answer, but instead raised his burning longsword and pointed it at his eyes.

Who sent you?

He asked.

Just now in the hall, he hid in his sister's shadow and noticed that Sophia, seated at the head of the table, got up and left without any guards following her. At the same time, a waiter in the crowd quietly followed her. This man's behavior was very suspicious, as if everyone was ignoring his presence.

The intense heat of the Sword of Lava quickly dried the waiter's wet face. However, despite facing the terrifying weapon so close at hand, his pale face showed no sign of panic.

"Heh... it's Fate, Fate has led me here."

He spoke incomprehensible words, devout and fanatical.

"Not speaking human language?"

Seeing that the other party could only spout riddles, Luther didn't bother to ask any more questions. He thrust his Sword of Lava straight forward, saying, "Then I'll inquire about your Spirituality."

The longsword was incredibly sharp. When it encountered scales on the body's surface that were hard enough to withstand bullets, it encountered some resistance, but still managed to pierce through. The intense heat instantly destroyed the waiter's brain tissue.

So strong!

Behind him, Sophia couldn't help but think. When they parted that day, this guy wasn't this powerful yet, but now he's become like this.

But before she could even express her feelings, something strange happened.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The mutilated body on the ground was emitting a piercing laugh.

Even though his brain had been burned out, he was still laughing, his mouth wide open.

You're the fools!

"Twilight is approaching, but the tide of the times cannot be stopped!"

He laughed loudly while continuing to utter incomprehensible words.

Luther frowned slightly; he sensed something was amiss, as if something was happening invisibly.

The waiter's face was completely pale, as if he had bled to death. Deep within his abdominal cavity, something golden emerged from the Flesh, faintly glowing.

It was a yellow and black key.

Something's not right!

Luther looked down sharply and was shocked to find that the blood had somehow covered the entire floor of the washroom. Strangely, the blood hadn't dissolved in the water; instead, it had spread like a living snake, forming a complete magic circle on the floor.

The center of the magic circle seemed to form a blood-red gate, and the doorknob was located in the same spot as the key in the corpse's abdominal cavity.

The blood veins are bright red and slightly glowing; the process has begun!

"Get out of here!"

Luther turned and called out to Sophia.

"Boom!"

His body instantly transformed into a ball of flame and flew rapidly outwards.

However, the space in the washroom suddenly became Distortion, and even with Luther sprinting at full speed, he couldn't pass through the short distance!

Damn it!

He cursed under his breath, and was about to consider what method to try next when he heard the waiter's frantic voice continue shouting, "Although I don't know where you're going, there will definitely be enough malice waiting for you there!"

Then, he uttered a word in Ancient Hermes:

"Door!"

As the word was uttered, the world instantly Distortion; the washroom vanished completely, replaced by countless illusory objects. They appeared outside the magic circle and then quickly disappeared.

Luther turned around and saw that Sophia had also been affected and was staring blankly at everything outside.

Were we "teleported"?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly felt the scenery outside gradually return to normal.

Looking around, he realized he seemed to be in an underground building.
