In other words, this was a premeditated assassination.

Lord Wu An had no intention of wasting words.

His eyes flickered with intense battle intent. With a wave of his hand, a dense array of Abyssal Magic formed behind him.

A piercing sound cut through the air as thunderous power surged across the land, and dazzling black light blocked out the sky.

Chloe's gaze remained calm, repeatedly jumping through the shadows to evade precisely targeted spells.

It was rumored that Glazter could use a large number of magic-like abilities, causing many to suspect that his true profession was that of a warlock or mage.

But... his close combat ability was even more terrifying.

The Skillful Speech Technique, Evil Spiritual Light, and Thought Detection were constantly active on him.

Profane Words empowered him.

The Acid Bursting Giant Sword that had just slashed at him would have cleaved him in half if he hadn't instantly activated the Holy Bone Power.

At this moment, the demon's gaze was overflowing with magical elements.

"Spear Hero, are you too scared to face me head-on?"

Lord Wu An said calmly, as the impact from the Acid Bursting Giant Sword merged with the magic.

Chloe ignored him, constantly jumping through the shadows.

Shadow Dance.

This was an advanced technique for wanderers that he was currently using.

He had no intention of fighting his opponent at all.

As he passed, one by one, members of the Shadow Legion emerged and charged toward Lord Wu An.

Although he was unable to use his powers in reality, wanderers are nature's favorites of the shadows.

Because of Senior Sister Fufu, he happened to possess numerous shadow-related talents.

By mimicking and learning shadow-related talents, he could now use some of these abilities.

The Shadow Legion was one of them.

"The power of the Shadow Monarchy? No, you don't possess that ability, yet you still command the Shadow Legion? How interesting!"

Lord Wu An kept talking, but neither his magic nor the attacks from his Acid Bursting Giant Sword ceased.

Chloe didn't pay him any heed.

On the system panel, the Vibrant talent was burning brightly.

He truly couldn't use his real-world talent directly.

But if it was just about burning a Talent Fragment, he could temporarily break through the constraints of the Maze rules and briefly revive his talents.

The SR Vibrant talent dissipated.

100 Shadow Soldiers were continuously being summoned from the shadows, hindering Lord Wu An's actions.

As long as there was a momentary delay, Chloe would immediately activate Shadow Jump.

He was stacking [Shadow Dance].

This was the highest-level technique for wanderers.

Using his body as a medium, he continuously jumped through the Shadow Plane, drawing out a massive amount of shadow power.

Shadow power wrapped around his body, making him more dangerous and deadly.

With each jump to evade an attack, the Shadow Dance would add another layer.

Until his body could no longer bear the additional shadow power.

He wasn't affected at all by the seductive power of Lord Wu An's words.

Jump!

Jump!

Jump!

There was a deeper vigilance in Lord Wu An's eyes.

No matter how he tried to use his Extraordinary Charm to beguile his opponent, the opponent was completely unaffected.

After a moment, he sighed:

"Did you pierce your eardrums as soon as the attack began?"

At this point, the surrounding area saw shadow energy gathering into a storm of darkness, with a fierce black wind blocking out the sky.

The next moment, Chloe, enveloped in terrifying dark tides, rushed forward.

Lord Wu An even praised this.

Choosing to face the Demon Monarch directly, he could have chosen to retreat and flee.

"Then let's do this!"

The brutal Demon Monarch raised his Acid Bursting Giant Sword, an unprecedentedly terrifying power saturating it.

A huge mushroom cloud appeared on the horizon.

The next moment, Lord Wu An's angry roar came through.

"Spear Hero, don't you have the pride of the strong?"

"Are you joking?"

Amid the suffocating dust, the Acid Bursting Giant Sword of Lord Wu An sliced through the shadowy form of "Chloe."

But... no blood flowed from the wound.

And behind Lord Wu An, the fiercely burning force of the Holy Bone pierced through his body from behind.

The desperate stacking of Shadow Dance was solely for this surprise attack.

"Against a vile being like you, any means are justified."

"Good, very good..."

Lord Wu An's angry voice echoed.

But Chloe had already torn his body apart.

Just as he couldn't withstand Lord Wu An's magic and the Acid Bursting Giant Sword, Lord Wu An couldn't endure the critical damage and true injury from the Holy Bone.

Lord Wu An's avatar vanished into ash, leaving Chloe without even a moment to linger.

He turned his head to look at a distance.

At the very moment Wu An the Master descended, he felt terrifying forces erupting around the world.

And judging by the direction...

It seemed the entire Hero Squad was under attack.

In that moment, he understood.

This was the Abyss's counterattack.

Having slain the Fear Demon God and taken away the True God Uniqueness from the Abyss's core, he had enraged the Abyssal Will like never before.

This precisely proved that the proposition made by the Sword Hero at that time was correct.

Killing the Fear Demon God was akin to slashing at the Abyss's carotid artery.

If the Abyss wasn't a peerlessly fierce entity, that slash would have been fatal.

"Not good, Cang..."

Chloe accelerated instantly, flying towards the nearby Centaur Tribe.

The Centaur Tribe wasn't too far from the Conqueror's Adventurer Group.

Amidst the shockwave that just erupted, the place closest to and directly felt by him was precisely where Cang resided— the Centaur Tribe.

"Faster, even faster..."

The Centaur Tribe was different from the other teammates' locations.

The Dragon Empire, Golden Land, Furnace Castle, Titan, Church Alliance...

The places where the other five comrades resided were the gathering areas of the continent's most powerful forces.

Even if a top-level Evil God were to send an incarnation, they might not truly be able to harm them.

But Cang was different.

In the Centaur Tribe, he was the strongest.

He had nowhere to retreat.

...

Location: Centaur Tribe

"Dad, I'm back!"

Cang laughed heartily as he stepped into the tribe, Chloe's old captain, the Centaur Chief, was waiting for him with a beaming smile at the entrance.

"Hahaha, son, I've heard all about it. You guys took down the Evil God's head with ease, well done."

The old captain, full of contentment, patted him on the shoulder and said,

"I am proud of you."

Cang chuckled.

The relationship between him and his father wasn't that bad.

Though he disliked his father's relentless expansion of the tribe.

"Dad, I..."

He was just about to say something when, in the next moment, he felt a fleshy tendril pierce through his body from behind.

His pupils instantly went out of focus.

Amidst the roar.

His father raised a battle halberd to shield him.

Only then did Cang snap back to reality.

He was the Divine Archer who had mastered Future Vision.

Just now, unprepared, through Future Vision, he saw the scene of his body being pierced by the tendril.

Without any warning, a terrifying entity shimmering with evil power descended beside him.

If not for his father's quick reaction, he would have been impaled.

Future Vision slowed the world to a crawl in his eyes.

He even had enough time to discern who the enemy was.

A two-headed baboon, twisted tendrils...

One of the Abyss's most powerful Demon Princes, no less than...

The high-level Evil God Democritus.

Descended into the world in an avatar form.

"Run..."

The old captain bellowed.

The battle halberd in his hand transformed into a furious storm, unleashing the strongest attack of his life.

The flickering battle halberd storm distorted the surrounding air.

But Democritus merely used one tendril to block all the attacks.

Then with another tendril, directly beat the Centaur blocking the way into a blood mist.

Cang's Future Vision even preceded reality, allowing him to witness the scene of his father's death.

From blocking the tendril to death, it happened in less than half a second.

He roared, drawing his bowstring to its full span, the arrows shooting out like meteors.

No one could see clearly how many attacks Cang unleashed at that moment.

But...

Amidst the roar, those arrows were instantly shattered.

"You are a strong opponent. If you had managed to create distance, perhaps I would have died by your hand, but..."

The strongest bow crafted by the Dwarf Fortress Master in Cang's hand shattered instantly.

A bow... is not made for defense.

Its flexibility may be decent, but its hardness couldn't compare to the weapons of the other Heroes.

"But, Bow Hero, you were engaged in close combat."
