One Person in Power Facing Another...
A huge, pale sphere rose from the ground.

Chapter 289 The Great Ones and the Great Ones...
The enormous full moon shot into the sky almost instantly.
Just as everyone was marveling at the terrifying nature of the Great Beast, the moon, with earth-shattering force, charged straight towards it!
Then...
The two moons collided...
Above the magnificent, boundless sky.
The pale moon and the fluorescent yellow moon began to crack simultaneously!
The terrifying, shattered fragments didn't even fall directly; instead, they floated in the surrounding air for a while before slowly beginning to descend!
This terrifying scene unfolded without a sound; everyone held their breath, staring at the distant, shattering moon.
Even the Daemon stopped what they were doing and trembled as they looked up at the sky.
In the dim twilight, the cracked, fluorescent yellow surface of the moon emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the thickness of the clouds and the shimmering white light mixed within its broken body...
They passed through the ritual barrier painstakingly created by the Lich almost without any hindrance.
A massive crack appeared in the sky above Kazdel, and huge rocks fell to the ground as lightly as feathers, without raising any dust.
But...
"Ah--!!!!"
A piercing scream shattered the tranquility of the night.
Strange, slender pieces of flesh rapidly grew from within the shattered rock fragments.
They were like swift, venomous snakes, frantically engulfing everything in their path.
Allied Forces soldiers, buildings, Daemon, floor tiles.
They accept everything that comes their way, frantically devouring everything they can touch.
Moments later, these fragments sprouted enormous tentacles.
Even from a distance of thousands of meters, the fleeing Sarkaz could still see the four-legged or even multi-legged fragmented creatures that had sprung up in their city.
A strong sense of nausea and dizziness rushed to their brains, and even many people who were not infected with Oripathy began to develop Originium on their skin.
And they grow rapidly as their vision becomes clearer.
Originium... is desperately resisting the mental pollution caused by simply seeing this Great Beast!
Even Kal'tsit could feel the blood surging within her body, Originium began to climb up her skin, seeping into her blood vessels and taking effect.
Fear appeared before her like a bomb!
She was wrong... utterly and completely wrong!
She thought she had begun to make contact, or at least had some understanding of the external aspects of the enemy of civilization.
But when she actually demonstrated some of her power, she was shocked to find that she had been too naive.
How could a monster, which was resisted by the combined forces of the previous civilization but ultimately failed, possibly be thoroughly understood by just one person spending time on it?
Those geniuses selected from trillions of people have conducted research far, far deeper than I have.
But they still failed.
What can she accomplish by herself?
The real terror began only at this moment; she felt the pressure of despair.
Can they... really continue?
And it was in her moment of despair that those pale rock fragments began to change.
A shimmering, Platinum liquid began to flow from their cracks, continuously gathering together.
They are like a giant, conscious net, constantly spreading out across the entire edge of Kazdel, and then beginning to converge in the air.
In the end... a terrible cage was formed...
It trapped the entire city completely...
From your perspective, this might be our first meeting...
With a backward leap, Maria dodged the tentacles that were flying towards her. Watching the opponent's rapid rebound after cracking the ground, Maria wiped her blood onto her Threaded Cane.
Twisting his body...
"Sulfone--!"
The burst of cold light instantly shattered the attack of flesh and blood structure; the front part of the tentacle instantly tore apart, turning into flesh and blood in the air.
But more tentacles followed, attacking her from all sides!
"Completely meaningless..."
Without any hesitation, Maria's pupils widened suddenly.
Landing, breathing...
Then, a flash of light appeared from the whip!
A sharp sword wind swept out instantly, swirling and engulfing flesh and blood into a single mass.
Meanwhile, more and more soldiers around them began to go mad, writhing tentacles taking over their brains, making them pounce on Maria like wild beasts.
Maria accepted all the attacks without hesitation, tearing their bodies apart one by one!
She was like a cold, mechanical monster, frantically sweeping away everything around her!
She was determined to single-handedly drag all 400,000 mutated monsters to their deaths in Kazdel!
In the blink of an eye, she lashed out with her whip, taking several more lives with her...
Ten minutes passed...
She has already slain hundreds and thousands of monsters... their corpses have scattered and formed a thick carpet of blood and flesh on the ground!
Even more terrifying is that even at this point, this flesh and blood had not completely perished.
Even as Maria stepped on this flesh and blood, they continued to wriggle, trying to drag Maria into the water as well!
An hour passed...
Maria has almost forgotten how many people she has killed...
It could be several thousand... or it could be tens of thousands...
But the number of monsters surrounding them continued to increase.
Even if she can wield her Blades hundreds of times in a second, even if she can take a dozen lives in a second.
She was already fighting on top of corpses.
But 400,000 is still an astronomical number!
As time passed, Gordan's power truly descended.
Even though Maria forcibly summoned the Yharnam's Moon and knocked out its eye, she couldn't stop Gordan's power from splashing out...
In fact, the moment the Yharnam's Moon struck, Gordan had already withdrawn his gaze.
It forcibly separated its eyes from its body, letting its uncontrollable nature sweep across the land!
The Lich's barrier was becoming increasingly vulnerable to this infection.
Maria was constantly engaged in battle, while her opponent took the opportunity to continuously devour and grow stronger.
The monsters around them seemed endless, constantly changing.
Everything seemed to have no end...
Like a beam of light shooting towards the universe, it will continue its relentless pursuit, no matter how fast it travels, until the moment it is blocked...
"Sulfone--!"
Another blow, and Maria's body was covered in blood and bits of flesh.
During this brutal and repetitive process of fighting, she also suffered some injuries.
But those wounds were quickly healed during her battles.
Both are immortal monsters; neither can completely kill the other through mere combat...
This war is never-ending!
The more she fought, the more she wielded her sword, the more Maria felt her own existence...
She is a beast... a proud beast disguised as human!
"It won't end..."
With a low growl, Maria took another step forward and instantly charged forward.
Her eyes grew increasingly bloodshot!
Even her gray hair gradually turned red!
"Boom--!"
"What... is that thing...?"
Following Maria's orders, all the soldiers are now stationed outside the city wall exit.
Using the terrain, they could clearly see the terrifying crowds gathering in the center of Kazdel.
When Maria entered, they were worried for her.
They were inspired when Maria began to fight.
As Maria fought her way from sunset to sunrise, and as the chaotic sky brightened when the sun was no longer visible, they were beyond words to describe their emotions.
Fear? Shock? Anxiety? Excitement?
All emotions were like being stuffed into a shredder and rolled into a pile of rubble.
All they could see was that figure, like a black ray of light, in the very center of the city.
They simply couldn't imagine that a person could possess such power.
In such a high-intensity, high-risk environment, they maintained a constant high-speed battle...
Rivers of blood have truly become a reality today.
Blood even covered the entire Kazdel!
Every inch of this land is stained with blood.
On every fragment of the building, there are traces of flesh and blood!
Maria unleashed her power freely in the city!
Bloodshed became her weapon!
Even the usually arrogant Blood Demon could only feel a deep-seated fear and trembling upon seeing the current situation.
Maria's confrontation with the Blood Demon Lord Dukale... was serious!
She truly had the confidence to single-handedly destroy the entire Blood Demon Royal Court!
Even faster, they also need to start considering their own situation.
With the arrival of the sky, the Lich's defensive barrier has been breached.
Although many Lich are still trying their best to maintain the ritual, it is impossible to completely block the exit.
Some monsters began to notice the larger group of people and started charging towards them.
"Everyone! Move! We absolutely cannot let these monsters escape!"
