"Charcoal-grilled dried seals, spicy electric mice, octopus platter, what the hell are these dishes!"

While Evan was sitting on the sand and preparing to order, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, as if someone had cut the wires from the outside, and the entire room was suddenly plunged into a gray darkness.

"There are assassins!"

Ivan reflected instantly, his body faster than his consciousness reflected, and instantly flew towards the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. But he had barely taken half a step when he suddenly felt his limbs become sluggish—an invisible force field was affecting him, slowing him down.

At this moment, the temperature in the hall dropped suddenly, and the surrounding walls suddenly rippled like water ripples. Swirling dark shadows, like ink dripping on snow-white silk paper, spread wildly across the four walls, ceilings and floors with a degree visible to the naked eye, dragging the entire space into darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Get out of here!"

Ivan exhaled violently, the green tendons on his face burst out, and his whole body shook open with heavy pressure that seeped through the void. Between the flexion of his legs, the figure instantly extended into a blurred dotted line, breaking through the air and crashing into the window in front of him.

Boom ——!

He slammed his shoulder into the floor-to-ceiling window, and actually dented the top of the glass window inward—after the original brittle glass was covered by black shadows, it seemed like a completely different material. It is sticky, slippery and full of rubber-like elasticity when it hits, which can effectively break down and absorb force, and specifically overcome blunt damage such as collisions.

Evan's figure was greatly reduced after slamming into the floor-to-ceiling window, but his pace did not stop, still moving against the elastic glass wall. In the process, the surface of his body also began to spray golden flames, scorching the silt-like shadow.

Sneer——!

With a slight tearing sound, a black void suddenly collapsed into a wall behind it, revealing a deep and boundless void inside. An invisible jaw flew out, biting at the target from a blind spot that Ivan couldn't observe.

“......”

He felt a chill in his back, stepped his left foot back, jerked sideways, and smashed his left arm into the source of the threat he felt.

Bang——!

The left arm swept like a heavy steel rod, hitting the void in front of it and then slamming violently, and two rows of dense sharp dimples suddenly sunk into the skin. After the arm was bitten by an invisible object, it immediately burst into golden flames that swirled up like fiery snakes. Fighting against the large mouth that cannot be observed by the naked eye, there is a sudden tooth-aching sound of metal twisting in the space.

Overlapping fiery serpents covered the surface of the large mouth, finally revealing its outline. This large mouth grows impressively on a thick thorn strip, and it is only a part of the top. The thick thorn strips were covered with irregular mouths, large and small, and strangely shaped, extending backwards into the unknown void, as if they were powerful creatures from another time and space, and they didn't know where to come from.

"Where did this monster come from?Who drove it?Is it the opponents I defeated, or the comrades who avenged Mostima!?"

Many questions flashed through Ivan in his mind, but his movements were not slow at all, and the five fingers of his left hand were retracted inward into eagle talons, and at the same time, his arm was externally rotated. Resisting the thorn bite, it grabbed its body from the side, and suddenly a series of thunderous sounds erupted through the knuckles, like a lion devouring flesh and blood.

Boom ——!

The thorn strip was directly torn apart by his claw, and the front end flew away with the castration of the arm. The whole thorn retracted in pain, and the cavity in the wall collapsed and closed.

However, just as the thorn was withdrawn, the black shadows that adhered to the ceiling and the four walls floated for a while, and suddenly collapsed into more void holes, densely covering the entire space.

Sneer——!

Eight thorny strips covered with sharp and hard thorns, like a long dragon breaking through the sky, burst out from all angles, and fiercely fell to the hunting target next to the window.

“......”

Ivan looked as cold as if he was covered in ice and snow, his eyes widened, and a blinding molten golden light burst out in his pupils. Immediately gave up the action of hitting the floor-to-ceiling window and quickly retreated, and after the figure whirled, his feet were divided to the left and right, and his back sank, and his hands were folded into eagle talons and folded in front of him.

Hiss——!

The moment the claws of the hand were forked and spread outward, the five fingers that were as sharp as knives instantly drew countless afterimages, and the fine golden light marks suddenly covered the void. It was as if an impermeable protective shield enveloped the whole body, and expanded outward to a degree that ordinary people could not see.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh ——!

With the subtle hiss of fingers cutting through the air, eight black thorns that extended from them shook violently, and at the same time, they were frozen in space like petrification. Then, as if suffering a thousand slashes in an instant, the first half of the body that came into contact with the golden light marks shattered at the same time. Instead of falling to the ground, the shattered bodies swelled and exploded into clouds of black smoke that dissolved in the air.

Roar——!!!

Thousands of staggered and overlapping screams echoed in the hall, and the furnishings in the space seemed to be swept by a hurricane, and the huge sound waves shook the coffee table and sand into pieces, and large pieces of glass scattered and splashed in all directions, forming a huge circular ripple that swept towards the walls in all directions.

Boom ——!

Taking advantage of the gap created by his own smashing of all the thorns, Ivan turned around again to meet the floor-to-ceiling window, releasing light energy with all his strength into a violent state, and his figure instantly turned into a blazing meteor that slammed into the wall.

Bang——!

Golden beams of light instantly pierced the hall, opening a vacuum corridor through the space, and cascading ring-shaped sonic boom clouds swelled out from behind him. In an instant, a huge concave had been knocked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, and in the deepest part of the pitch-black concave, at the core of the light flame, Evan's figure could be vaguely seen frantically swinging his fist and hammering the wall.

Click——!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came.

The floor-to-ceiling windows, which were constantly twisting and recessing backwards, suddenly showed a crack.

Immediately afterward, the crack spread rapidly and became larger, instantly covering the entire floor-to-ceiling window.

The shadow shrouded in the floor-to-ceiling window quickly dissipated, and the glass wall first turned from black to purple, then from purple to red, and then shattered into countless flickering points of light in the moment of complete red—in the shattered flash, Evan's figure seemed to be a beam of light gun, instantly penetrating the floor-to-ceiling window.

One by one, one by one

At this moment, if you look from the outside of the martial artist's apartment, you can see that the floor where Karens, Shamille, and Evan live is surrounded by deformed thorns. There was a faint sense of inexplicable distortion, and the outer walls of the entire level were full of spiraling and twisting thorns, and thick black thorns arched out of the void, spiraling up like snakes.

And on the floor-to-ceiling windows to the south, a gap has been broken in the thorns of the glass-covered wall—the dark blue flows down with the gap, illuminating a high wound with a glow.

“......”

Ivan faced the gap, suspended in mid-air dozens of meters away, his pupils suddenly locked on a certain part of the thorn wall, and he reached out and threw a solar ray:

"How long are you going to hide?

After the beam hit the thorn there, it seemed to activate some kind of switch, and the thorn wall covering the entire level began to crumble in an instant. At the same time, a delicate and slender figure emerges from the disintegrating vision—the pony-tailed girl in a bunny girl costume.

“......”

The female killer in the black mask levitated, her fists clenched and hung at her side, staring at him with a pair of heterochromatic pupils. The jewel-like crystal clear pupils blinked slightly, quickly filling the flowing darkness, and at the same time, wisps of black shadows surrounded her body.

It roared softly as if it were alive.

It wasn't like the sound of the wind, it seemed like the muffled breath of a monster from another dimension. A large number of black phantoms spread outward with the roar, centered on Tachibana's body, and the air quickly turned black, distorted into a shadow space like the depths of the sea.

"Devour you!"

Tachibana looked intently at the hunting target, and raised his white and slender palm - the shadow in the palm suddenly contracted like a whirlpool, condensed into a little in the blink of an eye, and then one

A pitch-black spear shot out of it.

Whoosh——!

The pitch-black javelin shot at Ivan like electricity, and at the moment before the retina could form an image, he suddenly stretched out his hand without any armor protection and grabbed it out of thin air - the beam of light condensed by the 'shadow' was actually grasped in his hand as if it were a real thing.

This slender and unadulterated hand, slightly cold, seeped out purple-black light from the inside out, pinching the javelin condensed by the shadow into a mass of 'chaos' and binding it together. Under the constraints of the dark energy of the Holy Book of Hades, 'Chaos' is like a bird caught in a net, constantly writhing and struggling, but it has never been able to break through the solid bondage.

The chaos that had condensed into one point flickered a few times, then it became soft, and instantly collapsed and overflowed, turning into a small energy storm that exploded from Evan's palm.

Phew——!

The shadow that was enough to tear through the steel slapped against Evan, as if it were just an ordinary gust of wind, not causing any damage, only stirring his slightly messy silk.

"It turned out to be ghostly energy...... No wonder I feel somewhat familiar. ”

Evan raised his right hand, glanced at the intact palm, and showed a relieved smile, while his five fingers were clenched into fists: "To others, you may be an all-pervasive killer, but in the face of the power of Hades, your ghost energy is more fragile than paper!"

“......”

Tachibana looked at this scene unexpectedly, the expression under the mask became solemn, and the darkness flowing in his eyes became thicker and thicker. In the middle of his breath, his body was swallowed up by the distorted dark space, and it covered Ivan with a sound, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flooded the space within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Boom ——!

The void was swept away by this terrifying ghostly energy, and suddenly the whole thing shook a little.

“......”

Ivan instantly shrank his pupils into sharp points, and quickly swung his fist towards the submerged shadow space, swinging out a higher level of ghost energy in the form of light. Purple-black dark energy rushed into the warped space like a waterfall, repelling the deep shadows that surged like a great tide—the vast forces annihilated each other, causing the void at the point of confrontation to distort unnaturally.

Whoop——!

At this moment, countless voids collapsed into the distorted shadow space again, and the thorny monster that had appeared before once again showed its form. The surrounding temperature dropped below freezing, and the shadowy space devoured all the heat in its pass. Although the power bombarded by Ivan is retreating, it is constantly releasing black thorns from the different dimensions.

What's going on? Her power seems to be very unstable?

Ivan was keenly aware that the thorn monster released by the other party did not attack him, but circled and stretched out in all directions. Part of the goal is the fighter's apartment, part is the floating island, and part is cannibalism.

One by one, one by one

"Are you running out of skills!?"

As soon as Evan's spirit was released, he quickly caught the opponent's breath from the bright light, stopped spraying the ghostly energy, and at the same time, flashed out in an instant. The entire right fist was covered with a black film of light, and the figure was only a blur, and it had disappeared from the spot.

Whoosh——!

His figure instantly disappeared into the shadow space, as if swimming into the sea, without the slightest hindrance. The degree is also fast, like a flash of light shuttling, so that people can't even think of dodging. At the moment when he entered the core of the shadow space, Yi Wenxun caught the opponent's breath and aimed at the female killer who was hiding her body with a straight punch.

Boom ——!

With this punch, the dark energy that was close to pitch black suddenly penetrated the shadow space, breaking through the shadow in the core, and striking a slender female silhouette from the void. After the female killer shrouded in the shadows flew out upside down, she seemed to be ready to struggle, but unfortunately, before she could adjust her body, she was shot down by a punch from the approaching Evan.

“......”

Tachibana continued to fall as the shadow space collapsed, looking like a butterfly with folded wings, and she calmly closed her eyes as she looked at the figure that her opponent was chasing.

Whoosh——!

The figure shrouded in purple-black light and flames made a turn, and instantly swooped down in the air, pinching her throat in a close moment—a suction force was generated in the palm of his hand, frantically devouring the ghost energy in her body.

Sneer——!

Tachibana's figure dissolved and contracted in the process, and finally only a little bit the size of his thumb remained, which was pinched by Ivan in his hand.

"Not the real thing?"

Evan looked at the 'Thumbelina' in the palm of his hand, and suddenly realized that he had not ruled out the crisis, and the real enemy was still hidden behind the scenes.

One by one, one by one

As with some of the movies he had watched in his previous life, the officers arrived belatedly at the fight's apartment after the battle. After a series of cross-examinations, Evan simply told them that someone wanted to kill him, and he didn't know exactly who it was, but there was a good chance that it was Mostima's associate.

And the female killer has been solved by himself - and the reason for this is because he doesn't trust the police in Steel City very much.

After all, Space City was also infiltrated into a sieve by Mostima, and God knows how many were playing Infernal Affairs. And he still has a lot of things to interrogate the female killer in person, the other party's strength, origin, and appearance under the mask, these secrets Ivan is very interested in figuring out. Doing so can also create the illusion that the female killer is dead, and change the position of yourself from light to dark, so that you can easily catch the real mastermind.
