Monster

"Bother!"

A ten-meter-long giant snake, pinned under Sulu's foot, still opened its blood-red maw unwillingly, wanting to swallow him whole.

"Spirit Spike!"

The next moment, the giant snake's eyes went glazed over, and it collapsed to the ground, turning into a corpse.

Behind it, two forks in the road appeared.

Sulu chose the left path and walked along the strangely patterned wall.

He had tried this kind of labyrinthine Mind Secret Realm before.

But those who are extraordinary are even more disgusting and troublesome than ordinary people.

For example, they possess stronger suppressive power and rules, making flight impossible.

Even climbing to the top of the maze is a luxury.

Furthermore, the walls were extremely sturdy and difficult to damage; Sulu even suspected that even if they were breached, complex distortions would immediately occur.

So he obediently followed the maze's route—along one wall, all the way to the end!

As long as the maze doesn't change, you'll eventually reach the core by following this path!

If you encounter a maze that changes, then you're doomed!

According to Sulu's observations and deductions, only beings similar to [Medium] who can contact the second layer of the Spirit World could accomplish this.

For example, his own entrance to the Mind Secret Realm is now located on his spirit body, and the defenses have been modified. It not only has a mix of mazes, monsters, and guards, but it will also detect and warn of any intruders immediately.

At his current level, it's impossible for that Demon Cursed Spirit from Nia City to infiltrate his mind and secretly alter his memories!

"Awooo!"

As we turned the corner, a pack of wolves howled and charged towards us.

"Spirit Pressure!"

Sulu's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying pressure surged forth, crashing like a huge wave.

"Waaah!"

The wolf immediately tucked its tail between its legs, its fur trembling, and let out a dog-like whimper.

Sulu took the initiative to charge, and the Soldier ' physical prowess allowed him to cut through the enemy lines as if they were nothing.

"Bother!"

After breaking through the wolf pack, three more paths appeared on the other side.

Sulu's face stiffened. He chose the leftmost path and continued exploring...

"Damn it, we're finally here!"

Time passed indefinitely, and Sulu arrived at the core of the labyrinth.

The surrounding walls were empty, resembling a marble plaza.

In the center of the square stood a monster!

It stands five meters tall, has two horns like a bull, hooves below its knees and calves, bloodshot eyes, and large, hairy hands gripping a giant axe.

"A monster? It really is a hybrid!"

Upon seeing the other party, Sulu immediately sensed that this Minotaur was the core of Jessira's subconscious!

This feeling is so wonderful that it can only be confirmed by seeing it in person.

"I never expected this... From the outside, Jessira seems like a meticulous person, which corresponds to the maze... But in reality, her subconscious core is guarded by monsters, meaning she's someone who appears careful but is actually reckless?"

Beneath her rational exterior lay impulsive emotions; this contradiction was something Sulu could easily understand.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the Minotaur, acting as the last line of defense, saw Sulu, the intruder, and immediately let out a roar.

Buzz!

A layer of earthy yellow light appeared and enveloped the entire square.

Sulu's body suddenly stiffened. "What is this? Gravity Spell? A spell-like ability? So even supernatural power is involved in the subconscious core defense of extraordinary individuals?"

Minotaur Monster are already difficult to deal with, but if the opponent also has the ability to cast spells, the difficulty level increases dramatically!

"As expected... [The Occultist]'s exploration of the Mind World is still too much of a stretch!"

Sulu sighed and went to the center of the field.

Whew!

At this moment, the enormous Minotaur Monster without hesitation and brought it down hard.

Bang!

Sulu dodged, and a deep trench immediately appeared in the marble floor beside him, sending a flurry of pebbles flying and hitting him, causing waves of pain.

If his spirit is injured, his physical body in the outside world will certainly not fare well.

"Spirit Pressure!"

"Spirit Spike!"

The skill that had previously been invincible could now only cause the Minotaur Monster to pause in its movements.

"The suppression... has also increased."

Invading someone's mental world will inevitably lead to suppression.

At this moment, this suppression had reached its peak!

"If I were a high-level professional, wouldn't I have become an ordinary person by now?"

Sulu was greatly alarmed, but he did not let the opportunity slip by.

"The Tiger Power! Unleash!"

He roared, and the shape of a fierce tiger vaguely appeared behind him.

At the same time, a surge of heat flowed through his body, causing him to involuntarily roar.

Snap!

Sulu paused, stepping on the back of the axe, and charged along the Minotaur's arm, his right leg seemingly transforming into a whip, his thigh exerting force as he lashed down hard.

Bang!

After taking a kick, the Minotaur Monster back a few steps, seemingly a little dizzy.

"Damn it... Whether it's a [Medium] or a [Occultist], their attack methods are too limited..."

Sulu gritted his teeth.

He didn't have many Curio for self-defense, so he was quite helpless when faced with such a remarkably resilient monster.

"It seems... I have to try and see if I can wear it down!"

Sulu sensed the time within the Mind World.

For safety's sake, he also lit candles in the real world, but the experience in the Spirit World is different from that in the outside world.

But upon sensing the time, I realized that only a little over half of it had passed.

"There's still time... to wear this Minotaur Monster down!"

Sulu took a deep breath.

Bang! Bang!

A series of sounds rang out, and the Minotaur Monster finally collapsed slowly from the successive blows.

With a loud bang like a small earthquake, the Minotaur Monster first fell to the ground, and then changed.

Its body size continued to shrink, its limbs became longer and more proportionate, and its hooves transformed into a pair of large white legs.

"Jessira..."

Sulu stepped forward, looked at the unconscious ' Jessira,' and rubbed his fingers together. "What a hassle..."

If it's a regular monster-type defense, then it's simple and brutal. The Mind Secret Realm is laid bare, containing only one very powerful monster. Once defeated, you can do whatever you want.

But this woman is cunning; she actually released monsters into the maze!

Even he almost couldn't clean it up.

"Fortunately... I finally won!"

Sulu looked at Jessira before him, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "Open everything to me!"

With his abilities, he could only obtain some intelligence.

As for things like demons, such as modifying and deleting memories, or even forcibly creating an experience for an ordinary person and fabricating a friend or relative, Sulu simply cannot do them.

At most, through some subconscious suggestions, he made Jessira feel somewhat favorably toward him.

"But it's all useless... Even love can't necessarily hold a woman's heart, and feelings of affection can be sacrificed so easily..."
