Salvation Treasure Hall.
At this moment, the place had already changed beyond recognition.
The surrounding buildings had completely turned a chaotic black.
They were also covered in vast amounts of grid-like viscous fluid. Based on past observations, this should have been Ruan Yin's domain.
But Zhou Zhi was not certain, because Ruan Yin was stranger than every Plague Exterminator he had encountered before.
"Are we fighting already... I've prepared to run away!"
Twenty-Three declared righteously.
Zhou Zhi flicked his right hand, revealing his true form.
He looked toward the shadow ahead.
"Is this your true appearance... It looks rather good."
Ruan Yin evaluated him from atop the platform.
She held a scepter, like a queen ruling over the world.
Zhou Zhi did not respond, observing the monster that had solidified into form.
Twenty-Three finished her joke and quickly relayed the information to Zhou Zhi.
The message flickered.
[Disease Transformation Source: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy]. [Disease Transformation Level: Dragon of Illness (Viral Transformation)].
Only a disease dragon?
But... what did Viral Transformation mean?
Zhou Zhi's eyes narrowed as he finally made out the Pestilence before him clearly.
A minotaur over four meters tall radiated an unsettling, agitating aura.
It wielded a massive stone axe, while its body was covered in grid-like ruptured pustules.
Even more grotesquely, bubbles of various colors continuously emerged across the minotaur's skin. Every bubble that surfaced and burst splashed black water into the air.
"Moo!!!!"
The sound echoed through the space.
The minotaur instantly locked onto Zhou Zhi!!
"[Mad Cow Disease]..."
Facing the Pestilence, Zhou Zhi considered for only an instant. Rather than using [Chaotic Blood Myriad Seepage], he used the Pestilence-countering [Cosmos Ring].
The bladed ring landed in Zhou Zhi's hand. His figure flashed, and he began enchanting his weapon.
"Plague Extermination Art [Cell Apoptosis]."
