Hunter: Growing Stronger with the Light of the Moon!

Chapter 54: A Shocking Turn! A Great Disaster!


With that thought in mind, Reve immediately turned to his assistant and gave orders:

"Don, stop watching the match for now. There's something I need you to do."

"Use every possible means to find out all the information on this Ed. I want to know everything about him, no stone left unturned!"

Assistant Don nodded, "Understood!"

After Don left, Reve turned his attention back to the large screen in front of him.

His emotions were still fluctuating wildly!

...

"Great! Brian! We're saved!"

"This damned ghost spirit can't kill us!"

Under the ghost spirit's feet.

After realizing that the ghost spirit's strength was insufficient, Brown and Brian, who had been in despair, were suddenly filled with wild joy!

The ghost spirit's aura, after a period of distortion, ultimately fell silent.

The ghost spirit stood there, lowering its head, seemingly falling back into a deep sleep.

The box containing the high-level spiritual treasure also fell helplessly to the ground!

Brown's eyes widened, and with Brian, he swallowed nervously, their courage unexpectedly returning!

"This beast no longer poses a threat. Which means, we can still take the high-level spiritual treasure!"

Brown said, while Brian picked himself up from the ground.

At the same time, he picked up his fallen silver sword, gripped it tightly in his hand, and stared hard at the ghost spirit:

"Survive a great disaster, and you'll have good fortune! Sometimes, you just have to take the risk!"

"Brown, don't you think that now, besides taking back the high-level spiritual treasure, we should take this opportunity to kill the ghost spirit too!?"

The ghost spirit's level was B-rank!

If they killed it, their scores would crush every other contestant.

At the same time, it would be an incredibly proud achievement, making their reputations skyrocket!

Additionally, both of them harbored deep resentment toward the ghost spirit!

Now, with the ghost spirit asleep, although it was far stronger than Brown and Brian, in its current state—being close and unable to fight back—it was possible for them to kill it using their silver swords!

Both of them drew their silver swords, and Brown reached down to grab the wooden box that had fallen to the ground.

The high-level spiritual treasure was about to return to their hands!

"Come back to me, treasure!" Brown's pupils dilated as he whispered.

No matter how many times he came close to the high-level spiritual treasure, the deadly temptation still made his heart race and his breathing quicken!

But in the next instant, the ghost spirit sensed Brown's hand and suddenly opened its eyes!

"My… things… are not to be desecrated!"

The killing intent that had seemingly vanished re-emerged in an instant, surging from within the ghost spirit!

Brown and Brian were instantly terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies. They couldn't even hold onto their silver swords properly!

"Ghost spirit! How has the ghost spirit awakened again?"

Upon seeing these two humans once again eyeing its high-level spiritual treasure, the ghost spirit's anger reached an unimaginable peak.

Its killing intent began to rise relentlessly, without a pause!

Soon, its aura even surpassed the power it had when it first awakened!

A terrifying black hurricane formed, wreaking havoc across the surrounding land!

"Ahhhhhh!"

Even those standing near Ed were struck by the black hurricane, their scalps tingling, bodies stinging, and the coldness unbearable!

It should be noted that they were still several dozen meters away!

"This killing intent is terrifying. How strong is this ghost spirit?" Thomas said in a panic, holding his hands up to shield himself.

Alex and Lucas nearby were trembling all over. "Could it be about to unleash a massacre?"

Meanwhile, Ed stood there, his expression constantly changing.

The ghost spirit, which had been asleep, had been provoked into awakening again!

It seemed the ghost spirit was about to use its most powerful attack due to its fury.

However, since the Low-Level Monster Codex only recorded C-class and D-class low-level monsters, there was very little information on the ghost spirit.

Ed was left at a loss.

He had no idea what the ghost spirit was about to do!

In the next moment, the ghost spirit raised its head and let out a terrifying roar toward the sky:

"Rooooaaaaar!!"

The black killing intent solidified into a towering black beam of light!

Endless ghostly power erupted from the ghost spirit's body like a volcanic eruption!

Everyone in the vicinity turned pale with fear, and Brown and Brian at the center were already stunned into immobility!

The audience in the viewing area, witnessing such a monstrous spectacle, was left breathless!

Even the group of influential figures in the VIP section couldn't help but widen their eyes:

"This is...!"

With the ghost spirit's power at play, the surrounding environment began to change.

In the footage, the weather had originally been evening, and there was still some time before nightfall, but under the ghost spirit's influence...

The sky began to change!

Countless black clouds gathered, the sun was covered, and the entire Nightmare Wasteland transformed into complete darkness!

Pitch-black darkness, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

This sudden shift also put the other contestants in jeopardy!

At this moment, various contestants across the Nightmare Wasteland were heading out of the wasteland.

Suddenly, they heard a chilling roar in their ears.

Before they could react, they saw a dark beam of light appear at the center of the Nightmare Wasteland!

Directly connected to the sky!

Soon, the entire sky darkened, and the entire area turned into a deep night!

Then, even more terrifying things began to happen!

Once the darkness fell, with the sun's light no longer present, a faint moonlight started to cover the Nightmare Wasteland!

Countless contestants immediately let out astonished exclamations:

"The moonlight is here?? What is happening?"

"So cold! It's so cold! Why has it gotten dark? Shouldn't it be dark only after the competition ends? Did the damned organizers miscalculate the time?"

"No, no, it's not the organizers' fault. It seems that strange dark beam of light earlier affected the weather!"

"Oh my god, it's freezing! The moonlight is unbearable!"

Under the moonlight, many people began to feel the coldness and discomfort they should be experiencing.

Fortunately, some Hunters still had Night cloaks, and immediately put them on.

Those who didn't, however, weren't so lucky. If they didn't want to endure the moonlight's torment, they had no choice but to stop moving and find a place to hide!

However, even those contestants who had put on their Night cloaks couldn't just leave the Nightmare Wasteland and hurry away.

Because, under the dark night and moonlight, countless evil monsters began to become excited!

On the other hand, the Hunters were severely weakened, and with this shift in balance, the Nightmare Wasteland had suddenly become dozens of times more dangerous!

Soon, a scream was heard from somewhere on the wasteland:

"Ah! Monsters! A horde of monsters! They killed my teammates! I'm injured too!"

"I'm going to die! Help!!"

Some people were being hunted by monsters, and such incidents quickly began to occur more frequently!

"Not good! All the monsters that only come out at night are here!"

"In this situation, we have no way to fight back!"

"Am I going to die here in the Nightmare Wasteland?!"

Whether they were individual Hunters or Hunters from other associations, everyone suffered the consequences of the sudden onset of night, and they were now facing a catastrophe!

The dead soon started to appear!

At this moment, the large screen in the viewing area split in half.

One side displayed several smaller screens showing contestants being hunted down in various parts of the Nightmare Wasteland!

Most of them were individual Hunters, and some of their families were in the audience, watching the competition.

Upon seeing their loved ones killed, they let out heart-wrenching cries of despair!

But in addition to that, many association Hunters were also dying!

This caused the influential figures in the VIP section to become restless!

"Oh my god! Those are our people from the Wood Spirit Association, surrounded by a huge group of ghouls!"

"That's a Bloodthirsty Bat swarm! Damn, these monsters are so hard to deal with in the dark!"

"My team hasn't encountered any monsters yet, but the exit from Nightmare Wasteland is still far away! What should we do if this continues?"

Before this moment, no one would have expected this competition to turn into such a disaster!

The commentator, Jason, was stunned:

"Contestants are starting to die in large numbers, but why did the sky suddenly go dark?"

Nightmare Wasteland was now completely covered in darkness.

However, the viewing area on their side was still in daylight!

Although it was a closed venue, they could still see the sunlight outside through the windows!

Several association leaders spoke:

"It's the ghost spirit! The ghost spirit can affect a large area, but it's rare to see one that can change the weather like this!"

"This ghost spirit might be much stronger than other ghost spirits because it absorbed the power of the high-level spiritual treasure!"

A moment later, Jason's heart shook.

At the same time, the event organizers were starting to panic.

The reason the government had chosen Nightmare Wasteland as the competition site was twofold: First, it was suitable for the competition. Second, it was a convenient excuse to clear out the monsters in the area, maintaining public order!

However, Nightmare Wasteland had been sealed off for decades, and the organizers never expected that such a powerful ghost spirit would have been nurtured there!

Backstage, the Lord of Dorey City's face changed drastically. Furious, he slammed his fist onto the table:

"What happened to the people who conducted the site survey? There's a ghost spirit at the venue, why did no one notice it?"

"Now, almost all the contestants are being attacked on their way back! This is a massive disaster!"

Although the contestants had signed contracts stating that the organizers were not responsible if they were killed by monsters during the competition, this unexpected situation that caused so many deaths left the organizers absolutely accountable.

This was a truly catastrophic accident!

However, in the face of the enraged city lord, the officials standing behind him could only lower their heads, unable to think of any solutions and too afraid to speak!
