Chapter 539: Chapter 215: Bear the Consequences

In the black fog, sharp teeth within gruesome maws were exposed, and pairs of red eyes opened.

All creatures present could feel that something dangerous had arrived through the Black Fog here, within the so-called safest Dream Cruise.

This was not just smuggling but a blatant intrusion.

Wolf Smoke cursed a few times in a row, quickly distancing himself and Li Changhe.

"This is...a Fantasy Species? He can summon a Fantasy Species? Or is it his symbiotic body?"

"No. He doesn’t have a Fantasy Species symbiotic body, and this level of power isn’t what a symbiotic body can produce." The Earth Knight held his sword cautiously; he had seen a similar scene on one of his teammates in a different Task: "It’s a curse; using himself as an anchor, he can summon Fantasy Species through the curse. Moreover, the monsters summoned are..."

"Time traveler’s nightmare, guardian monsters in the long river of history, immortal beings."

"Tingdaros Hounds!" Earth Knight sighed, admiring their boldness. He had seen a teammate summon a hound to fight alongside them in an Instance. He knew precisely how dangerous it was.

Elsewhere, the hound’s red eyes scanned the surroundings, sensing the strange space and an array of powerful beings it had never seen before.

It seemed like a truly extraordinary place, it thought. So, what was its prey? It wanted to quickly bite and leave this horrid place.

Then, it saw a figure with azure flames. The figure looked familiar, and so did its scent.

"Hey, Dog Brother. I’ll treat you to a good meal this time." The opposing side reached out to him, looking all too familiar though it was clearly a human...

Dog Brother was speechless for a moment; the next second, the red eyes flashed with rage, and numerous gnashing maws opened wide.

It naturally remembered who the human in front of it was and recalled the miserable state when it was struck by lightning and the humiliation when it was forcibly driven.

It roared loudly, its boundless anger howling out. It had never harbored such intense hostility and rage towards any prey before.

This alarmed both White Night and the Heart Stealer, how deep of a grudge did they hold against each other?

Meanwhile, a prompt had appeared on Li Changhe’s player panel.

[Tingdaros Hound’s Curse: It has found you again, and wants to say f*ck your motherf***ing head %@#$&%@#%]

Li Changhe’s heart stirred as he saw Dog Brother’s huge mouth after months.

To be honest, he wasn’t very confident.

His physique wasn’t strong enough to trigger the second feature of Extraordinary Soldier mode. Even if he did trigger, it might not be enough to restrain Dog Brother.

Every [Player]’s first physique attribute tends to be similar, with most of them having Copper Skin and Iron Bones.

However, the second attribute often varies due to individual differences.

Some [Players] have an Unbreakable Golden Body as their second physique feature; some have Glass Body, while some others have a higher error tolerance with Jade-like Golden Appearance.

Li Changhe wondered whether his Extraordinary Soldier’s Physique feature could withstand Dog Brother’s.

But now that Dog Brother was here, he didn’t need to worry about being bitten to death by it.

White Night and Heart Stealer needed him as an anchor, and they would do whatever it took to keep the only person that could help them escape the Dream Cruise alive.

That’s why Li Changhe said he held the initiative. Even if they despised him now, they still had to protect him. That was enough.

"From the end, I have no longing, only a brief pause. My disciples, the blessed ones, will finally leave the evil path once you follow my footsteps and find me. On that day, I will descend upon your lands, and your sins will be forgiven by my hand." White Night closed her wings, a voice both sacred and blasphemous rang out.

Based on the initial description, White Night looked like a similar being to the Antichrist in Christianity.

Meanwhile, the Heart Stealer started to sway its unspeakably despicable form by the stairwell.

"The abominable ones wait in the abyss for dreamers." The meaning was unclear, but with its statement, two powerfully effective blessings appeared on Li Changhe’s panel.

[Blessing of the Lost Paradise: Except for Divinity, all damage received is reduced by 70%] [Duration: five minutes] [If you choose to believe in White Night and become her disciple, this blessing will last forever]

[Awaiting You in Your Dreams: Other than spiritual properties, all other attributes will increase by one, and temporarily achieve advanced spiritual resistance.] [Duration: five minutes] [When you next fall asleep, it will appear in your dreams]

As expected, they had kept their cards close to their chest.

It was only natural, as divine creatures being threatened by humans should always have some backup plans.

As the Heart Stealer’s enhancements took effect on Li Changhe, his attributes rose to a new level at that moment.

[Strength: 8+1+1] [Strength Trait: Expert Proficiency]

[Agility: 9+1] [Agility Feature: Wall-Walking]

[Physique: 12+1] [Second Physique Feature: Jade-like Golden Appearance]

"Is this the... power of Divinity? To bestow such formidable enhancements at will." Li Changhe thought.

The effects of the two blessings were terrifyingly powerful.

Even without Li Changhe believing in them, it was no wonder that the Awei Protection Association intended to contact these beings. Such power was sufficiently enticing for any [Player].

Some might even readily become their believers without hesitation.

In the next moment, the corner’s black fog instantly spread, enclosing Li Changhe completely.

Sharp teeth clenched forcefully onto Li Changhe’s armor.

Dog Brother had no patience to wait for Li Changhe to ponder. With new and old hatred combined, it just wanted to bite this bastard to death and quickly leave this place.

Little Red Riding Hood, standing nearby, instinctively took a step towards Li Changhe. Even though they had planned everything so well,

She still felt panicked when she saw the hound attacking Li Changhe.

But a hand reached out from the black fog, giving an OK gesture. The only challenge of riding Dog Brother had been resolved by White Night; there was no longer anything to worry about.

Simultaneously, the enraged and panicked roar of Dog Brother echoed through the hall.

As she wrestled with Corpse Face, the woman’s expression flickered slightly as she finally sensed a crisis.

She ripped the Corpse Face, which was reduced to one spare body, in half. The broken spare body turned into a foul-smelling corpse liquid. Corpse Face lost its power, whimpering as it fell to the ground.

Corpse Face was defeated, but the woman did not care, instead focusing her gaze on the black fog on the fourth floor.

Someone stepped out of the black fog, clad in impressive ancient armor. The indescribable black shadow appeared behind him, with countless red eyes and sharp teeth exuding ferocity.

"So, captain." Under the blue fire mask, the crimson eyes seemed to burst with a cruel, bloodthirsty light. His voice rang like a bronze bell: "I’ll say it again, let us go. Or face the consequences."
