When the distance between Jietisikoki and the silhouette shrank to a certain point, the ocean of blood and mist—the last remaining land of spiritual will—once again underwent earth-shattering new changes!
The silhouette began to move!
And born along with that movement was a dark shadow that instantly spread across the entire sea of blood mist!
In the blink of an eye, the blood-mist earth before Jietisikoki was swallowed beneath its cover, instantly transforming into a pitch-black expanse!
This was the nightmare trial that every Nightmare Sensor had to endure when facing the fourth round of the nightmare ritual!

The shadow of that unknown existence known as "Auling"!
Only those who successfully endured the shadow's cover could advance further and become fourth-rank "One Who Approaches Its Shadow"!
However, unlike before—
At this moment, the shadow appearing before Jietisikoki did not, like the song, aura, and silhouette before it, indiscriminately inflict even greater oppression upon his mind!
Simply because Jietisikoki's current position lay outside the shadow's range!

The fear in Jietisikoki's heart had not lied!
This man truly was experiencing the most preposterous reality of his life!
The Sixth Nightmare Realm!
The Butcher Hunter understood
