The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Under the fire rain across the sky, no one could escape.

And what terrified him even more was yet to come—

The fire rain that danced across the sky had barely stopped for a few moments when a thick black cloud suddenly drifted over their heads.

Black raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, shattering in the burning flames, dried into wisps of black mist by the heat waves.

Entwined by the black mist, a slew of dead corpses suddenly twitched their bodies, staggering as they rose from the ground, their mouths issuing hoarse murmurs.

"Ugh—"

Watching the bodies of his dead subordinates being desecrated, Kuchal's eyes widened, his pupils full of furious rage.

He jerked his head up, his gaze fixating straight on the Lizardman Corpse Ghost standing atop the Dragon Turtle, letting out an angry roar from his mouth.

"What have you done?!"

Octo calmly watched the shocked and furious Kuchal, his deep, hoarse voice tinged with mockery.

"Serve my master with the body of the deceased... was this not your own choice?"

"Ahhh!!! I'm going to kill you!"

Anger burned in Kuchal's pupils, eventually turning into a suppressed roar, his legs bending like a bow, the short sword held in a reverse grip in his hand!

There's no meaning in running away anymore!

Such a grave failure, the Holy King would never forgive him... Even if the Holy King did, he could not tolerate such humiliation!

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind— to turn this damned Corpse Ghost before him into nothing but a corpse!

At least—

He had to die with some meaning!

Yet just as Kuchal decided to fight to the death, the soft rustle of leaves suddenly emanated from beside him. Before he could detect the subtle movement, a glint of cold light sliced through his throat like lightning.

Kuchal's vertical pupils suddenly dilated, and just as he attempted to make a sound, hot blood burst from his throat ahead of the fleeting coldness!

The speed was so swift that he hardly saw what had happened, and his consciousness was engulfed by boundless darkness, falling heavily into the pool of blood beneath him.

Compared to dying from being blown up by rocket shells, this was a merciful way to die, with hardly any pain at all.

"... Why waste so many words with him." Sarah shook off the blood from the dagger, glancing at the corpse on the ground.

The amber pupils had lost their glow, as Kuchal, who tried to cover his neck, finally ceased to move, becoming a corpse.

About half a minute later, his motionless body suddenly twitched all over, slowly standing up from the ground as an undead.

Just then, a plump Earth Cave Spider appeared beside the gradually burning flames, swinging its eight legs to move next to him.

Looking up at the handsome and dignified face, Kuchal lowered his head, kneeling on one knee before the Earth Cave Spider.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Demon King..."

The tremor from deep within his soul told him that the man sitting on the back of the Giant Spider in front of him was his master, the one who awakened him.

Luo Yan, sitting on Alakdo's back, glanced at the Lizardman before him, reaching out his right hand as a dark green light melded into the latter's forehead.

Youyou appeared beside him, whispering softly.

"His Soul Level is only Bronze Level... As for the other Lizardmen, they are all 'ordinary', without awakening Extraordinary Power."

Luo Yan nodded to show his understanding, then withdrew his right hand, his expression indifferent as he spoke.

"It looks as if my guess was right... Because of the prolonged blockade, the Extraordinary Power here has become quite scarce."

Not only that.

Their soul quality has also suffered serious degradation.

An Army Commander only possessing Bronze Level standards, not to mention comparing with the BOSS in the Maze, this guy was even worse than his players...

"But... why is that?" Youyou's voice was full of doubt.

Clearly, these guys were not clueless about Extraordinary Power, even the Vine Armor, nearly burned to ashes, contained faint traces of Magic Power... Evidently crafted with some effort.

Luo Yan pondered briefly, then looked up at the sky where the clouds had scattered, speaking his inner hypothesis after a moment.

"It's merely a speculation... Some force has isolated this continent, allowing them to exist independently from the main world, far removed from the upheaval a thousand years ago. However, this blessing isn't without a price."

Although these Lizardmen escaped the baptism of war, allowing ancient traditions and bloodlines to continue, they were also cut off from a certain material that universally exists in the cosmos, capable of answering wishes— the Mi's Particle that Miranda has been researching.

As for why their Soul Level would decay, Luo Yan could only guess. Perhaps it was because souls from outside could not reincarnate here, while souls inside couldn't reincarnate again, resulting in the majority of Lizardman souls being first-time humans as the Dragon God's power continuously wanes.

Similar situations exist in the outside world, but Saint Sis and the Demon God still reign over part of the cycle of living beings.

Not only that.

Apart from the macro factors, the micro existence of Lizardmen living here also led to a halt or even regression of civilization due to prolonged isolation.

This forest remains the same as it was a thousand years ago, still the same today. Even they themselves are gradually turning into living stones, or rather, frescoes on the walls.

As the waves of the Vast Ocean become more and more tumultuous, the collapse of this fragile peace is almost inevitable...

"So... this place is like a space similar to Subspace?" Youyou looked at Luo Yan in astonishment, her voice carrying a hint of disbelief.
