Somewhere shrouded in gray mist.
Sword Three took a deep breath, gripped a longsword, and thoroughly stabbed to death the half-dead monster beneath his feet.
Devourer corpses lay everywhere around him.
He glanced at the bodies around him, and his expression gradually grew grim.
The moment the gray mist enveloped them, a massive number of monsters had charged out. In the slaughter, they had lost every one of their Divine Emperor subordinates.
One Great Emperor had even encountered something unknown, attacked his own companions, and fled into the gray mist.
"Damn it!"
Sword Three cursed under his breath. He had completely lost his bearings and could only make the few Great Emperors at his side follow closely behind him.
He knew the true danger had yet to arrive. That vast horde of monsters from earlier was merely the tip of the iceberg!
What was more, he knew that a terrifying intelligent being within the gray mist was watching him!
Because whenever Sword Three tried to use the holy relic statue to leave the Death Barrier, a great number of monsters would surge from the surrounding mist to stop him.
If he insisted on doing so, Sword Three suspected that before he could use the holy relic statue to leave this place, he would already have been torn to pieces by countless monsters!
Yet as long as he did not use the holy relic statue, monsters would still stream endlessly from the surrounding gray mist, but their numbers and strength were not as overwhelming—still within a manageable range.
"Everyone, be careful."
Sword Three led several Great Emperors forward. At the same time, he swept out with his sword, cleaving a monster lunging at him from the side into two halves.
Every moment, his nerves were taut as he watched his surroundings.
