"die?"

How arrogant.

There was only one head left exposed outside the dark quagmire, and Bai Zhi made a sarcastic sound.

That's right, being completely controlled by this evil spell, it can only be eaten by mermaids at this moment, and its physical body in this world will indeed be destroyed by this magic chanter.

From a mortal perspective, it is indeed about to "die".

but……

"Okay hero, come on, try to kill me."

Bai Zhen laughed wildly at the magic chanter.

"Use your weapons, use your magic, use your wisdom, courage, will or anything else to kill me."

Although it is still enduring the pain of being bitten by thousands of hungry undead, it still cannot conceal its pleasure.

"Kill me like a fool breaks the reflection in the mirror, kill me like a madman breaks the moon in the water. You're welcome, it's a futile effort to tear my shadow into pieces in this world. If you don't enjoy it, kill me."

It doesn’t hurt to torture me before you die.”

Bai Zhen said ferociously.

"Then I will come back again, again and again, with hatred for you and the experience of the last failure. I have infinite time and countless opportunities, so what if I let you win this time?

You can't keep winning, mortal."

"There is a story that is widely circulated in the Moon Realm. You must have heard of it."

After the other party finished speaking, Zhou Mu slowly spoke.

"A long, long time ago, there was one of the most cunning and arrogant liars in this world. He boldly bet with thirteen kings of nothingness in the moon realm, and won twelve bets in a row. Every time he won a round,

, he asked the King of Nothingness to create a weapon that could hurt himself."

As Zhou Mu spoke, he opened a deep space crack and put his hand in to feel for something.

"But in the last bet, he lost, and his soul was eventually eaten by the kings of nothingness. This story is often used to warn mortals not to try to bet with the devil, but I think that liar is a great warrior

.Because he left twelve weapons to the world that could harm the essence of the King of Nothingness."

Under Bai Zhen's uneasy gaze, he pulled out an unpretentious straight sword from the rift in space.

It was a sword so ordinary that no one would pick it up even if it were dropped in a downtown area. The workmanship was so rough that it looked like the work the old blacksmith from the next village had forged for the first time under the guidance of his son.

"Later, someone traveled across the entire continent to collect these twelve weapons, and gave these twelve weapons to his friends. He formed an organization specifically to defeat those monsters that could not be killed no matter how hard they were killed.

Maybe you have heard that that organization is called the Thirteenth Tribunal, and the people who hold those weapons are called..."

Zhou Mu said, pointing the plain straight sword at Bai Zhen's throat.

"Judge."

Feeling the power contained in that straight sword that could kill him completely, Bai Zhen felt some strange emotions for the first time.

fear.

"Wait...wait a minute, I don't..."

Seeing the sword pressed against his throat, Bai Zhen was horrified and was about to say something, but Zhou Mu ignored it and stabbed the sword directly in.

There are no fancy special effects or deafening sounds.

The shambling devil died silently.

The corpse did not turn into black salt crystals and dissipate, but was gradually swallowed up by the mire and disappeared.

Die as simply and simply as a mortal.

…………

A whirlpool of flames rose into the sky from the bright spore cloud, and burned away the cursed mist in just ten seconds.

【Purgatory Storm】

An eighth-level spell of the fire system.

If she had witnessed the release of this spell a few days ago, Liliana would have screamed with excitement. However, now that she saw the eighth-level spell, she felt no emotion other than numbness.

She had witnessed more eighth-level spells today than she had ever seen in her previous life.

The man who had shattered her outlook countless times today was now standing on the devastated scorched earth, staring at the huge jet-black gem floating in mid-air.

"Come here, it's safe now."

The other party's voice came, and Liliana walked over obediently. The air was filled with the smell of burnt feathers, and she felt the residual warmth of the previous flames with every step she took.

Liliana asked as she walked.

"Where's the monster?"

"died."

The man replied hoarsely, his eyes still fixed on the big black gem.

"Is this David Orbis locked up here?"

"Yes, I still have some things to ask...cough cough cough cough, grass, cough cough cough..."

Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly started coughing violently.

Liliana watched nervously as the man was suddenly out of breath from coughing. She waited for a while until he calmed down before asking carefully.

"Are you OK……"

"It's okay, I'm just choked by the fog just now. I'll be fine later."

Was it just choked...

The sight of birds, beasts and insects being eaten away from the inside by mycelium appeared in Liliana's mind.

If it weren't for that person's Sunbird Pendant, I'm afraid she would have died in that terrifying fog.

Thinking that the other person's pendant was still hanging on her body, she quickly took it off and prepared to return it to him, but the man just waved his hand, indicating that she could keep it for herself.

"How can this be done? Such a precious thing..."

"I may have something to ask you later, so I'll just take this as payment. And this thing is a fake that I imitated the Phoenix Pendant's enchantment, so it's not a precious thing."

Self-enchanted...

Liliana's mind went numb again because of the other party's words.

Zhou Mu ignored Liliana who was standing stunned behind him, took a few steps back, raised his staff and canceled the effect of [Shadow Cage].

The huge floating black gem turned into a shadow and disappeared, and the genius mage named David fell from mid-air to the ground.

His sense of time seemed to still be stuck in the moment before he was imprisoned. As soon as he landed, he held the staff in his hand tightly and pointed at Zhou Mu and Liliana not far away.

But he soon realized the battle was over.

"Where is my contracted monster?"

Probably because he failed to sense the shambling demon connected to his soul, after seeing that neither of them had any intention of attacking not far away, David asked directly.

"Since you can't sense it anymore, of course you're dead."

Zhou Mu answered naturally.

A monster in the moon realm will not die. Even if its body left in the real world is destroyed, it will only shatter the reflection in the mirror and banish it back to the moon realm. It will not harm the monster's body at all.

But at this moment, David had no intention of correcting the other party's wording.

"Did you defeat it?"

The other party nodded.

With a clang, he threw the lead-colored staff to the ground.

"I surrender."

David said decisively.

"I thought you would struggle."

"I can banish the shambling demon on my own, but I have no chance of winning."

Zhou Mu nodded, and a silver thread extended from the top of Withering Cold, tying him up tightly.

"So what will happen to me? Will I be handed over to the church or..."

"You answer my question first."

Zhou Mu walked up to David and unfolded a parchment map towards him.

"You deliberately spread this treasure map in the southern part of the Mourn Mountains through the black market, right?"

Liliana felt her heart tightening when she heard this question.

When they were still in Dusk Fortress, the mysterious mage asked her in detail how she found this ruins.

After she told him how she spent a lot of money to buy this treasure map from a mysterious vendor on the Nordrand underground black market, the man took the treasure map away from her.
