“Boom-”

The third layer of the Demon Rat Nest is attacked by Evil Blast.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…” Great amounts of mud, flesh, and bone fragments slid down from the ceiling.

Before the aberrations could rush into the hollow, all of them were overturned by the explosive blast, falling to the ground of the 14th underground layer.

[System Message: ]

[You consumed 50 points of Soul Strength and 500 points of energy to cast

‘Evil Blast’ x25, igniting 25 level 2 mutant corpses.]

[You successfully killed 10 Alchemy Slaves and three First Order Black Bone Hermits.]

[You inflicted fatal damage on “Third Order Black Bone Hermit – Young

Raven”, but your opponent did not die.]

[Passive Deconstruction Activation!]

[Since you have already unlocked the standard panel for “Alchemy Slaves” and “First Order Black Bone Hermit” , this passive deconstruction did not obtain an energy points reward.]

[The deconstruction result is as follows:]

Personalized panel information and important recent memories of three First Order Black Bone Warlocks.]

Personalized panel information and important recent memories of ten Alchemy Slaves.]

Partial panel information and important recent memories of the Young Raven. Your degree of deconstruction for the “Young Raven” is 70%.]

“Young Raven didn’t die? It seems that the Third Order Black Bone Hermit has some tricks up their sleeve.”

Noland Lee raised his eyebrows.

He called up the panel information of the Young Raven and quickly scanned the content.

A unique buff effect caught Noland’s attention.

[Gaze of the Ancient Crow Spirit]

The Black Bone Hermit – Young Raven himself has been granted the protection of a certain ancient crow spirit.

When he receives fatal damage, this passive effect automatically triggers.

For the next 5 seconds, he will not receive any damage and will enter the uncontrolled and unhindered “Raven Spirit Messenger” form.

In the “Raven Spirit Messenger” form, the Young Raven becomes an ethereal being, immune to kinetic damage, and can fly at low altitude without object collision effects.

As soon as Noland finished reading the buff effect in his mind, he saw a dark-winged crow flying out of the hollow,

This crow was entirely cloaked in pitch-black feathers that did not reflect any light, imbuing it with a pure dark essence.

Its beak was curved like a hook, forming a half-arc drooping down in its face.

It had a larger size than a normal human, and when its black wings spread out, they blocked the entire walkway with over three meters in width.

Upon seeing Noland, endless fury erupted from its brass-colored eyes!

“It’s you! You must be the bastard who attacked me! Die!”

Young Raven, who had received the protection of the ancient crow spirit, had a near-transparent phantom-like appearance.

This should be the visual effect of the crow spirit’s protection.

At this moment. he could flv freelv through the aberrations without hindrance

or damage.

He contracted his two wings, crossing them in front of him, then suddenly spread them wide, releasing a barrage of black feathers.

These feathers were like venomous snakes, sharp arrows, and countless wicked daggers aimed straight at the heart.

They surged forward, reaching Noland in less than a tenth of a second.

“Caster Form: Death Incarnation! Activate!”

“Crackle!”

Several black lightning bolts shot out of Noland’s body, and for an instant, he transformed into a silent, dark presence.

A black shield half a meter thick appeared out of thin air in front of him, blocking all the feathers!

“What?! How can someone as weak as you master High-Level Death Magic?!”

Noland furrowed his brow slightly. This was the second time he had heard such words, and he felt somewhat strange, but he didn’t have the time to think about it.

Seeing Noland’s appearance, Young Raven turned pale and exposed a flaw.

Noland raised his hand, firing a dense mass of black lightning.

“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”

The protection from the ancient crow spirit on Young Raven had just ended!

In an instant, Young Raven reverted to his human form, no longer resembling the massive black crow from before.

His immunity to damage also vanished at the same time.

“Bang!”

Young Raven was hit squarely by the black lightning, exploding on the spot, shattering his body to dust and turning into a mist of blood and debris. His face mask flew more than ten meters away.

While Noland’s ‘Death Incarnation’ activated, every second of its activation consumes 1% of his Soul Strength, generating 10 times the amount of Death Energy consumed.

No matter how many times Noland used ‘Death Finger’ to bomb the area, he could not use up the Death Energy generated each second.

These unused Death Energies escaped from his body, forming a ‘Death Storm’ that enveloped several meters around him.

In the short moment Noland killed Young Raven, all the aberrations around him had been crushed into powder by the ‘Death Storm’.

[System Message: ]

[You inflicted fatal damage on “Third Order Black Bone Hermit – Chiraven”.]

[You successfully killed the target.] [Passive Deconstruction Activation!]

[You received a reward of 25,000 energy points.]

[You obtained the panel information and important recent memories of

“Chiraven”.]

Noland scanned the system message, confirming Young Raven’s death, and hurriedly turned off the ‘Death Incarnation’ skill.

Glancing at the data on his panel, Noland felt a mix of frustration and excitement.

[Energy Points] 41255/20

“I can’t spend it all. I really can’t spend it all. With over 40,000 energy points, just when would I be able to reduce it to below 20? It seems that I won’t have a chance to regain auto-recovery energy points until I push my energy point limit to one or two thousand…”

Thinking of missing out on hundreds of auto-recovery energy points, Noland felt a wave of disappointment..
