Chapter 195: Destruction! The Black Stele!
At the central elevator, through the breach smashed by Monroe Gina’s Train.
Train Conductor Ye Qiyan and Zhu Xingtu entered the second layer.
Compared to the fierce battle above, this second layer was relatively much quieter.
It seemed that for Grace, having discarded her identity, or perhaps the relatively weak Train Captain, was not her primary target.
However, the War between the City of Eternal Night and Solomon City was still ongoing here.
They had no idea what was happening; they only harbored mutual hostility and slaughtered one another.
Ye Qiyan rode the Hunting Mechadragon and continued downward.
That dim world was located in the interstice between the first and second layers.
Through the central elevator shaft, he arrived at that previous location.
[Witnessing Truth and Falsehood]
He saw it.
That gaze existing within the interstice.
This time, it could be seen clearly.
“It should be right here.”
Shifting her gaze, Zhu Xingtu, sitting on a broomstick, patted the huge hat on her head.
“Alrighty~ I knew Brother Ye would be able to find it.”
She pulled out a key inlaid with gemstones and as thick as an infant’s arm.
“Ahem~ Open Sesame!”
The key drew circles in mid-air, and directly ahead, a spatial door large enough to accommodate two people instantly appeared.
On the other side of the door was utter dimness.
“Hehe, I’ll go in first…”
She wanted to fly into that world riding her broomstick, but the moment she reached out one arm—
An ominous aura directly struck out from within that space.
“Someone really did come, huh.”
Kamelin Gallo.
The collector of the cursed card sequence.
He hunched his body, and the respirator on his face continuously spat out black mist.
He extended a palm wearing sharp-clawed armor toward the front and spoke calmly:
“Vulnerability, Slow, Silence, Suppression… Fusion Curse.”
This was not the power of a cursed card.
Because he himself was a mage specializing in curses.
Zhu Xingtu retreated in dejection.
She tried hard to open her mouth and speak, but her mouth felt as though it had been sewn shut and could not move.
She seemed extremely angry, taking out a starry, twinkling potion from her spatial inventory and pouring it in through her nose.
“Ha! To think I got ambushed by a guy like this… Furthermore, they actually wouldn’t let me speak! I hate Silence the most! Brother Ye, leave this guy to me!”
She rushed in once more.
Having taken precautions, she wasn’t immediately struck by the curse this time.
Waving her broomstick, in the dim world, starlight continuously fell from the sky and smashed toward Gallo.
The Hunting Mechadragon drove into the dim world. Gallo wanted to stop it, but was forced to engage in battle due to Zhu Xingtu’s obstruction.
This gave Ye Qiyan an opportunity.
After truly arriving in this dim world, juvenile forms of those giant octopus tentacles could be seen everywhere.
Whenever the giant octopus tentacles above were destroyed, a juvenile form would grow into a huge mature state under the power of the magic array, and then enter the third layer through the teleportation array to join the battlefield.
The sheer number of them was completely uncountable.
“Destruction, the place that needs to be broken is…”
Ye Qiyan’s gaze continuously observed his surroundings.
“That location?”
At the center point of the dim world, there was a protruding spot where a large number of octopus monsters piled up, as if using their own flesh and blood to form a layer of defense.
“Is it right here?”
An arc curved at the corner of Ye Qiyan’s mouth.
“It was easier to find than I imagined. However, it seems I’ve been discovered.”
More than a dozen magic arrays slowly emerged.
The octopus tentacles that should have been on the third layer stretched out from within them.
On the third layer, Grace, who was still continuously dodging attacks, suddenly sensed the information transmitted from the dim interstice.
“How could this be? How could anyone find that place? No, I must deal with the fellow inside there first.”
Waving her staff, thirteen of Solomon’s Demon Gods were reversely summoned.
Within the interstice, Ye Qiyan was surrounded in the center by these suddenly appearing monsters.
No fear could be seen on his face.
“You guys sure came at the right time. However, if defending the city were useful, what would be the point of sneaking into the enemy’s base?”
Since destruction was to be carried out, then let it be done in one fell swoop! Leaving no room for hesitation.
It started to rain.
Within this dim world, a torrential blood-red rain slowly fell.
The bodies of all the monsters touched by the rainwater began to become more vulnerable.
Red Tears and the raven appeared successively to guard his side.
Beneath his feet, the driving sound of the Hunting Mechadragon began to echo.
“Module triggered.”
“Consumption Great Reduction!”
This Module was not merely used to reduce the consumption of Train Coins.
Dark golden specks of light were extracted bit by bit from the air, and the originally dim world became even paler.
Absorb! Condense!
The required consumption of eighty pieces was completely reduced.
The protrusion that had been blocked by the monsters’ bodies was consequently revealed.
That was a stele, a black stele.
It was also the core within the dim interstitial world.
“Completely reduced, huh. Not bad.”
“Transcendent Mode!”
All the light specks merged into the Hunting Mechadragon.
The sound of mechanical drive echoed throughout this world.
The dark golden specks of light were devoured by The Hunt, and the mechanical dragon, more massive and majestic than before, emitted a roar toward the sky as if unwilling to remain lonely.
The monsters that had been reversely summoned also seemed to realize that something was wrong.
They frantically wanted to launch an attack against Ye Qiyan.
They wanted to stop what was about to happen next.
But they were still a step too late.
“transcendence warhead.”
The Mechadragon opened its mouth, and the warhead extended out.
“book of reality and illusion~”
Since Mental Power was going to be consumed, naturally one must know how to share it.
“Then… the second time today.”
Ye Qiyan lifted his eyes, stood atop the Mechadragon’s head, and patted the Light Screen.
“Fire!”
The dim world was filled with black and white radiance.
The ultimate burst of black and white manifested directly above that stele.
A black hole! It appeared!
In just a single second, a complete circular blankness was revealed here.
Appearing simultaneously with it was the Mental Power synchronization reduction halo of the book of reality and illusion!
The monsters that were not within the attack range of the black hole were shrouded by the halo.
That black stele had already been blasted into smithereens, and all the dead giant octopus monsters could no longer maintain uninterrupted “infinite resurrection” by changing bodies.
The monsters were furious.
The entire dim world began to vibrate.
The opening leading to the outside world was forcibly sealed.
Even those giant octopus tentacles far away on the third layer emitted mournful cries at the exact same moment.
They ignored Grace’s control, abandoned all attacks, returned to this dim world, and launched an attack against Ye Qiyan.
Whether the monsters were mature or juvenile, Grace had never realized from beginning to end that someone would actually find this interstitial world she had hidden.
Grace’s expression was somewhat ugly.
“A variable…”
“Why?”
“However, this is fine too. A Train Captain capable of doing such a thing is the most worthy of being destroyed…”
The monsters came into contact with one another.
Merging with each other, they gradually piled up into a super-giant monster.
The Hunting Mechadragon under Transcendent Mode was eager to try without the slightest fear; it opened its mouth and roared, summoning thunder!
The huge fused monster stood in this world, and the huge Hunting Mechadragon, following its master’s command, advanced to subjugate it.
Third layer.
Zhao Xi’s speed gradually slowed down.
Grace’s gaze landed on Zhao Xi ahead, and her originally gloomy expression gradually relaxed.
“…Xiaoxi, trading your upper limit for temporary power, is that time finally coming to an end?”
