Something was wrong

As Lumian pulled out the headless Corpse of the "Abscessed Severed Hand" and activated the Black Mark on his right shoulder, he heard not only Julie's voice but also a sharp, exaggerated sound of a heavy object falling rapidly.

He instinctively chose the furthest point he could sense as the destination for "Teleportation".

As soon as Lumian disappeared from the spot, Albus entered the area with two Steel Soldier Puppets.

He wasn't affected by Lumian's preemptive attempt to run towards the Corpse Mountain Peak. Instead, taking advantage of Lumian's inability to see, he conjured a long spear of Burning Blazing White Flame Spear and manually threw it forward, thus propelling Lumian out of the Passageway to face the potential dangers and the possible concentrated fire.

He himself was two or three meters behind, giving himself enough time to react—if Lumian were to be surrounded or controlled, he could quickly bypass the danger zone and approach the Corpse Mountain Peak from the side.

Of course, Albus didn't dare to fall too far behind. After all, Lumian had just proven that he had a way to prevent himself from being attacked by Vanak and that it was indeed possible to reach the destination very quickly and without any hindrance. If Albus waited ten or twenty seconds before entering this area, the other party might have already made direct contact with "0-01"!

"In war, being too hasty or too slow are both reasons for defeat..." Albus just had this thought when he heard a terrifying, explosive sound of something falling.

The Steel Soldier Puppets he was using raised its head and looked up at the sky. It saw a huge Meteorite Burning with bright Flames, illuminating the entire earth. With a destructive momentum and increasing speed, it was falling straight into this Wilderness filled with armored soldiers and countless corpses, towards the area near the entrance, towards Albus and Vanak was thirty or forty meters away from him.

The Meteorite fell faster and faster, quickly surpassing the speed of sound.

Further away, Julie, wearing a low-cut, slit Long Dress, stands in mid-air, carrying a Hurricane Lantern and supported by layers of Frost Stairway.

Her left hand, adorned with Sapphire Ring, traced an arc from top to bottom, pointing towards where Vanak and Albus were.

"You son of a bitch!"

For the first time since entering Morola, Albus uncontrollably cursed in his mind.

We haven't even prayed for Divine Descent yet, have we?

Isn't this before it's in Divine Descent state?

How could you, a sow, summon Meteorite?

What about Morola's rules? What about "0-01"? Limit it! This is the "Calamity Witch's" power!

Moreover, that "Witch" wasn't blindfolded!

Something's not right!

Although it was clear that the Meteorite wasn't powerful enough to destroy a city, and wasn't quite at the level of a true "Calamity Witch," Albus still felt a genuine sense of fear at that moment.

He had become a member of the "Red of War" rebuilt by his Ancestors. He could concentrate his power on That One Angel King and also share some of his power with him, as well as distribute some of the damage he received. However, this was Morola, and it belonged to the Core Area of Underground Mausoleum that sealed "0-01". This significantly weakened the special abilities that required internal and external coordination to be established. At Past, Albus could only briefly use the power of Sequence 4 and some weakened versions of abilities of High Sequence, and the damage he distributed could not exceed one-third.

Now, even if only one-third of the damage could be mitigated, or even half or two-thirds, the remaining damage would still be beyond Albus's current physical capacity to handle.

In other words, it takes some time for the Meteorite to fall; otherwise, Albus would have been a charred corpse torn to pieces.

Wearing a black eye mask, he tilted his head back slightly, causing his hair to Burning into Crimson Flames that stretched down his back.

Beneath his skin, the bones and flesh faintly revealed a Iron-Black hue.

Immediately afterwards, he transformed into a Blazing White Flame Spear, which swept up two Steel Soldier Puppets and flew rapidly to the right.

He has already borrowed the power of That One "Red Angel". The strategy he can think of right now is to first avoid the Meteorite's landing point, and then use the damage sharing from his Ancestors, his own temporary Metallization, and the two Steel Soldier Puppets survive the subsequent damage and survive the spreading raging storm.

Yes, Albus took the Steel Soldier Puppets not because he was reluctant to part with his "eyes," nor because he had any affection for such items.

What wonderful shields they are!

Vanak, the primary target of the Meteorite, made the same choice as Albus, but this Morola's Most Dangerous Figure had neither the Steel Soldier Puppets to provide final protection nor was he hindered by layers of Invisible Web around him.

As the Spider Silk emerged one by one, turning Gray-White- white, the Blazing White Flame Spear that Vanak had transformed into slowed down more and more.

Bang!

The Burning Meteorite struck a dozen meters behind Vanak.

Boom!

Turbulent Dust, blazing Flames, and terrifying Impact engulfed Vanak in an instant.

The Cash Morola's Most Dangerous Figure instantly shattered, turning into a charred corpse.

Albus by the raging wind and waves onto the Blazing White Flame Spear, which then slammed him directly to the ground.

With a clang, the Steel Soldier Puppets that served as the first shield quickly dented and partially cracked, instantly losing its Marionette- like feel and turning into a pile of scrap metal.

Next, the second Steel Soldier Puppets was severely injured, followed by Albus Medici, who broke free of his Flame Spear form and coughed up a mouthful of Burning blood, his Metallization body subsequently damaged.

Unaware of where he had been "Teleportation" to, Lumian first heard an explosion, then felt a tangible wave of wind crashing against him, followed by Flames scorching him.

He suffered temporary hearing loss and could no longer absorb knowledge from the Brass Earpiece. He was thrown into the air, but the Impact had subsided to a level acceptable to a Reaper.

As for the Flames brought by the raging storm, they could only ignite clothing, Bandage, and hair, and could not cause significant burns to his body. Moreover, he quickly extinguished them by controlling the Flames.

Thump!

Lumian fell heavily to the ground, nearly dropping the Carbide Lamp in his hand.

The Bandage on his face, which had been burned off, fell off, but thankfully his eyes remained closed.

At the same time, Lumian felt the headless Corpse with the "Abscessed Severed Hand" he was holding in his right hand and the rotting head with the "Abscessed Severed Hand" he was holding in his left hand start to stir, each moving toward the other with a terrifying force that could drag his body.

Lumian didn't stop him; instead, he released his hands.

He activated the Black Mark on his right shoulder once more, "Teleportation" to the limit of his current sensing range.

He needed to stay away from the soon-to-be -Aggregation "Abscessed Severed Hand" body parts to avoid becoming the first target of attack. Doing so would not only fail to prevent the dangers from colliding with each other, but would also easily put him in a situation where he was surrounded and attacked!

When choosing a "Teleportation" destination, Lumian deliberately avoided the area where the heavy object had fallen and the place where Julie's voice had come from.

In the thick smoke and dust, Lumian's figure disappeared from the spot, and the two parts of his Corpse, the Abscessed Severed Hand and the bluish-black, rotting flesh, came together.

The headless Corpse's only hand grasped its head, which was covered in Weeds hair, and hastily placed it on its neck.

However, this attempt was hindered by an unwritten rule within the Underground Mausoleum that the head and body must be separated.

Of course, the obstacles didn't actually prevent the head from returning to its proper neck; they merely increased the difficulty and slowed down the reassembly process.

On the other side, the rolling Flames and billowing smoke subsided slightly. Julie, standing at the top of the Frost Steps, saw that Vanak had lost all life and collapsed to the ground, his body covered with deep cracks and charred marks.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Vanak has always been her most feared opponent. She had previously regretted that Lumian had escaped early and she hadn't been able to seize the opportunity to join forces with him to kill Vanak.

Just then, Vanak, who was in a charred corpse state, started to move.

This Morola's Most Dangerous Figure leaped to his feet, two dark red Flames now Burning in his Eye Sockets.

He became Undead!

For Vanak, who submits to "0-01" and is essentially a special Marionette, there seems to be no real difference between being alive and existing as Undead.

Moreover, as Undead, he can now utilize other powers!

He spread his arms, tilted his head back slightly, and let out a sound like Battle Cry.

Suddenly, the Hurricane Lantern Julie was carrying went out, and the Flames around the Corpse Mountain Peak also disappeared. Only the Hurricane Lantern in Albus's hand and the Carbide Lamp in Lumian's hand, protected by the instinct of their "Hunter" powers, continued to burn, swaying and Burning.

Darkness surged back in, but it couldn't engulf Julie.

"Nothing's wrong?" Albus, who was leaning against the last Steel Soldier Puppets and witnessing this scene, couldn't help but frown.

"Can that Sapphire Ring still protect Julie from the darkness and decay within the Underground Mausoleum?"

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Even if it were possible, what did you mean by Hurricane Lantern earlier, Julie? Were you trying to mislead us?

"Also, the ' Calamity Witch ' ability shouldn't exist at all, even if it's just a weakened version..."

Something's definitely wrong!

At this moment, Julie let out a low, enchanting laugh and once again pointed her left hand to the sky.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the dark high place, and one after another, sharp icicles condensed and fell like Torrential Rain onto the wilderness, onto Vanak, Albus, and Lumian.

Vanak roared again.

This was like a war drumbeat striking Julie's heart, freezing her in place for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Tornado connecting heaven and earth roared into shape, sweeping away all the ice shards and rushing back towards Julie.

At that moment, whether it was Lumian with his eyes closed, Albus with his eyes covered, or Julie and Vanak with normal vision, they all felt the whole world shake and heard the fragile creaking of the surrounding void.

The bluish-black, rotting Corpse the "Abscessed Severed Hand" finally put its head back on its neck.
