Chapter 88: The Dawn That Never Comes (6)

Ulysses searched the huge hotel for other possible survivors, going from room to room, only to see empty rooms.

In some rooms, there is a teapot with black tea brewed on the table, and there are exquisite sweets next to the teapot. The teapot emitted a faint heat in the light of the magic crystal, and it was conceivable that not long ago the owner of this room was leisurely drinking tea and savoring delicious snacks.

But the disaster happened so suddenly, and when he realized what had happened, the owner of this place made the same choice as everyone else. Judging by the open window, it is possible that he jumped out of here without even a single piece of clothing.

As for what happened to the people who weren't in the hotel now? Ulysses could only hear the wind remaining in the streets, and the occasional creeping sound.

It's only been a few hours, and the sounds of fear just now are getting less and less. After the ruins appeared, it was as if something was slowly covering the whole city, and the sounds, the smells, everything, everything became blurred.

Only the whistling sound of the cyan tornado connecting the earth and the sky was still loud, the only sound that would not disappear in the night.

No problem, they must have escaped and gone to some other safe place. Ulysses consoled himself in this way, even though he knew it was too naïve to fantasize.

Outside of this hostel, it's already a completely foreign world.

After searching the entire second floor of the hotel, Ulysses realized that there was really no one here. It was probably after the monsters invaded that all the people here fled, and there were still a lot of things left in the room, and even some special clothes that made his face hot.

With trepidation, he stepped up the stairs to the third floor. Not long ago, he had just said goodbye to the third layer, and he didn't expect to be back so soon.

Just as Ulysses was walking up the stairs of the third floor, towards the only room on this level, a great sense of danger suddenly enveloped his body.

"Whew!" From the next window, there was a creepy gasp, and a shadow stood there at some point, with his hands and feet in the same place, looking like a stone statue carved into the window.

However, those malicious eyes are definitely not something that a stone statue would have. Coming from the darkness, it looked at Ulysses' back with a greedy gaze, and it had never smelled such delicious meat in its underground life.

"Shhh

A black aura condensed to the extreme wrapped around its claws, and then swung violently.

The black aura turned into a swirling blade that slashed at Ulysses' waist with a sharp whistle. With the support of the huge dark magic, the black cyclone dispersed the air from both sides, and the terrifying wind pressure instantly tore through the walls on both sides, cutting an ugly mark nearly half a meter deep on the fortified walls of the fortress level.

It's not one of those miscellaneous soldiers who was knocked down from the sky with a single move, there will always be a particularly strong individual in the same species, it is the "elite" monster among the underground monsters that have not yet been named.

For Ulysses, who had almost never fought such a powerful monster in reality, this sneak attack from behind was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

Even though he felt the crisis earlier, his cold body couldn't react. By the time he realized what had come from behind him, it was already the time when the terrible black blade had sliced into his body

The flesh was torn apart, and the intense pain of blood spurting out of it reminded him of the battle he had experienced in that dream-like world.

The same pain, the same sense of deadly crisis, even the feeling of being torn apart was exactly the same, even more dangerous and terrible than that battle. Because at this moment, there is still that terrible coldness in his body, and the enemy is not coming from the front, but from the corner behind him.

Move, move! Ulysses gave a coercive order to his body completely unreasonably, and he no longer cared about the terrible coldness that remained in his body, and he did not care about the mournful screams of his body.

Single-minded, completely unthinking about other things, Ulysses has forgotten everything around him at this moment, leaving only that deadly sense of crisis.

Although he couldn't see what was attacking behind him, the ubiquitous wind seemed to convey a vague trace to him in his heart, which was an incomparably sharp, black gas like a spinning crescent blade.

It had slipped open his back and was moving deeper. However, when he was about to cut his body open, it seemed that something had happened.

Behind Ulysses, a monster from underground sees a phenomenon that it cannot comprehend. The Dark Blade, which it excelled, suddenly stalled as it was about to cut its prey in half, turning it into two halves suitable for its appetite.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ulysses fell with all his might, allowing the razor-sharp black blade to roar over his head.

"Boom!" the black blade that had lost its hindrance slammed into the wall at the end of the hallway, leaving a deep mark on the solid wall. Even the walls of the military fortress level were destroyed like this, and one can imagine how powerful the black magic blade that slashed Ulysses' body just now had a powerful cutting force.

"Goo!" The monster from the underground was very dissatisfied with his move just now, it was obviously a perfect kill, but he didn't know why he paused when killing the prey, as if there was some magic in the prey's body that resisted it.

That's not a problem, though.

"Quack!" a strange cry sounded, and the monster spread its wings and rushed into the third floor of the hotel, flying towards Ulysses, who was wounded and fell to the ground.

The black claws smelled fishy, and it was a ferocious poison that could be fatal at the slightest touch. Battles in the underworld will never be protracted, and lurking in the dark to deal a fatal blow to the enemy is the way that the monsters living in the underworld like to hunt.

In the resource-poor underground, fierce fighting is a luxury, and the lack of food has forced them to develop such an attack, which is a natural choice for them. Even if you accidentally come to the earthly world with a lot of food, this habit will not change anytime soon.
