Under the blood-red full moon, on the wide main street behind the hundred-meter-high wall, only the street lamps are always bright, and the silence is abnormal.

When the sword wind whistled and the shadow of the lamp flickered, something made of black mud and resembled a canine creature emerged from the shadow of the street lamp and hissed sharply towards Leo.

"Roar!"

The sound visible to the naked eye spread with the roar, causing the candles on the street lamps to shake violently, and even the surrounding light and shadow fluctuated violently.

The sound waves, which were enough to tear apart the eardrums of ordinary people, were blocked by a thin layer of blue shimmer when they touched Leo's body surface, and disappeared invisibly.

The long sword of blue and gold and red, with terrifying destructive power on it, raised its right paw in the face of such an attack.

The claws, which are more than ten centimeters long and look extremely sharp, are dripping with black mud downward, looking hideous and demonic.

"Boom!"

The long sword collided with the claw, exploding into violent sparks, which were obviously just claws, but they had an exaggerated hardness than ordinary metal.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the body of the black mud dog flew backwards like a bullet out of the chamber.

Leo's power crushed it.

The upside-down black mud dog smashed into the shadows of the side of the street, and disappeared again.

Leo slowly retracted his sword, a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.

I have to say, this monster's stealth ability is truly amazing.

As soon as he walked, he didn't even notice that this guy was following him.

If it weren't for the light wind that had just blown, he had noticed the abnormality, and then at the moment of crisis, he might have been overshadowed by this thing.

After activating the magic of the wind, his affinity for the wind has been exaggeratedly improved, and the wind is in his hands, like an arm commanding.

And now, now that he has noticed the clues, it is impossible for the black mud dog to repeat his old tricks and use the shadows to hide his body.

The mind moved with his heart, and the mana flowed, and the consumption of about 5 mana points formed a fist-sized wind attribute magic ball in front of Leo's raised left hand.

Small kiosk

In the next second, the magic ball exploded.

Countless miniature wind blades with negligible power spread out in a ring in the air, their individual power was very weak, and they couldn't even hurt ordinary people, but there were too many of them, and they directly covered the range of thirty meters around Leo in the middle of the spread.

Looking down from above, in the dim night, with Leo as the center, a cyan aura pushed outward.

This is the result of Leo's deliberate control.

He doesn't need to attack the black mud dog directly, the use of mana that integrates search and attack is too much of a mana consumption, he just needs to find out the location of the other party.

As the miniature wind blade spread, a cold light flashed in Leo's eyes, and the long sword in his hand slashed out towards the left side of his body without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The sound of metal clashing and sparks reappeared, and the form of the black mud dog appeared in the darkness, and was struck upward by the force of the sword.

In order to avoid too much force, he knocked the black mud dog into the air again, and this time, Leo used a bottom-up slash.

The black mud dog that was shot away was in mid-air, and it was powerless to borrow its strength, and its body was in a stiff state of being concussed by the force, so it was powerless to make other responses.

In the night, the blue and red sword light flashed in the air, drawing a magnificent half-moon shape, and the body of the black mud dog was separated in this sword light.

"Bang ......"

The two corpses fell to the ground, and before the black blood from the wounds could escape, they were scorched by the holy flames.

Leo stepped forward, came to the corpse of the black mud dog, and looked down carefully.

Because of the death of the main body, the black mud surging on the surface of the black mud dog's body began to volatilize, and Leo couldn't understand the principle, but what was manifested on the outside was that the black mud disappeared little by little, until finally, revealing the pale and emaciated body under it.

Very similar to a deformed dog!

It can be said that the black mud dog is an advanced monster of the deformed big dog!

Compared to the deformed big dog that only has a physical offensive method, the black mud dog has an additional ability to hide its body.

This ability, in a dark environment, can be called a deadly assassin.

Moreover, the black mud dog will not be like a deformed dog, when it finds an enemy, it will roar at the first time, but will follow closely, seize the right moment, and then launch a lore attack, just like a clever predator in nature.

Although in terms of physical strength, it is only a little stronger than the deformed big dog, but its deadly concealment ability, extraordinary speed, and sharp claws that are enough to compete with the light chasing sword make it far more dangerous and lethal than the deformed big dog.

In other words, it is an extraordinary person who has activated the magic power of other attributes, and there is no clever way to investigate, and it is really a bit of a headache in the face of a deformed big dog.

Solved the deformed big dog, the hint of the character panel popped up in front of the eyes.

——

【Absorbing the Missing Soul (5)......】

[Soul Fire Brightness: 5.30→5.31]

[Soul Fire Color: Pure White]

[Mana Attribute: Wind]

[Mana: 135/140]

[Current status: healthy, distorted (hyperdyed 76%→76.3%)]

——

"Is it the top aberrant monster under the transcendent......

Leo nodded knowingly.

The soul of the "full level", the corresponding soul fire color, is pure white.

The soul of the "missing level", the corresponding soul fire color, is a dark gray under pure white.

As the top monster of Dark Gray, the Black Clay Dog has the unique ability to hide itself in the shadows, but because it has not yet reached the pure white level, it does not really control the extraordinary shadow ability.

Perhaps this degraded version of the transcendent shadow ability that conceals itself in the shadows is the change brought about by the distortion and erosion of the black mud dog, and generally speaking, monsters that have not reached the pure white level will not have supernatural powers.

Seeing the black mud dog's body turn into ashes and dissipate in front of his eyes, leaving not even a trace of black mud, Leo raised his head and looked at the sea of gray mist above the sky, and was silent for a moment.

Before, he had never thought about where the monsters in the dream world ended up with the ashes that turned into ashes after death, but since he knew that the gray mist that emerged from the door of the gray fog in the real world was corrosive, a terrible conjecture welled up in his mind.

Is the gray fog dispersed by the gate of the gray fog that invaded the present world related to the flying ash that the monsters in the dream world turned into after death, and is it one of the ways through which the distortion spreads?

The essence of aberration is rooted in the pollution of the soul, but the manifestation of the effect in the material world is really just bloodthirsty madness and mutation?

"Hoo ......"

Taking a deep breath and collecting the mixed emotions in his heart, Leo raised his head, looked into the depths of the distant lights, and walked forward.

No matter what, you can't go wrong with improving your strength.

……

Walking along the main street, accompanied by the lonely night and the gentle evening breeze, the young man with the dark silver sword came to a huge square in the occasional explosion of golden red flames.

However, a few kilometers of long streets, ten black mud dogs inhabited, in this windy night, have turned into ghosts.

With the experience of dealing with the black mud dog for the first time, Leo even used very little magic power to the next nine black mud dogs, and only used swordsmanship to kill them.

This caused the brightness of his soul fire to climb to the level of 5.4.

On average, each Black Clay Dog brings a 0.01 increase in the brightness of the Soul Fire.

To be honest, the density of monsters behind the high wall surprised Leo very much.

Not surprised by too many, but too little!

There are only ten black mud dogs on the long street for several kilometers, which is a bit abnormal.

You must know that in the relatively safe southern part of the city of Yor, there were at least twenty Yoel knights in the same range.

This strange phenomenon is as if some high-ranking predator has just swept away the monsters on this street.

This forced Leo to be more vigilant.

At the end of the main street, there is a large, bright square.

The bright light of the fire came from the large bonfire in the center of the square.

It was a very strange bonfire, white in color, and the flames burning on it did not jump, but like a still canvas.

When he saw this bonfire, Leo's heart jumped.

How could this thing be so similar to the bonfire he had on the windmill house area of Bourne Farm, next to the Viscount of Evilfall?

The malignant fire, a terrible thing that can cause human nature to be distorted.

And this pile of malignant fires located in the depths of Yoel City, looking at the color of the flames, it seems that it is still an advanced version of the previous pile?!

So, where is the monster that guards this pile of malignant fire?

As soon as he glanced at it, Leo made a discovery.

It was a prostrate figure in a gray-black hooded robe.

It was lying on the ground, accustomed to the large size of the monsters in the dream world, and for a while, Leo really ignored it.

Without stepping into the square in a hurry, the Eagle's Eye opened, and then the magic flowed into the Eagle's Eye, causing Leo's eyes to be dyed a surging blue.

This is a technique he temporarily developed after encountering the Black Mud Dog, or the Shadow Dog.

The Eye of the Eagle is an extremely powerful ability, capable of breaking through the gray fog to a certain extent, and has excellent eyesight, but it also has a flaw, that is, it cannot see monsters like the Shadow Dog that use extraordinary power to become invisible.

But with the addition of magic, it's different.

I don't dare to say that I can see through the stealth of all shadow monsters, but at least, it is not a big problem to face the shadow dogs who only master the ability of the deteriorated version of the shadows.

Scanning the surroundings, Leo withdrew his gaze after a moment.

He didn't see any other monsters in the vicinity.

With his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword at his waist, Leo stepped into the square, his eyes fixed on the gray-robed figure creeping around the campfire.

Seeing that he did not react, Leo frowned slightly, and then continued to take a step forward.

Walking fifty meters away from the gray-robed figure, Leo stopped.

This distance is the limit of temptation.

He couldn't keep risking closer.

Seeing that the gray-robed figure hadn't reacted yet, Leo thought about it, slowly retreated, and retreated to the edge of the square, but he didn't expect the gray-robed figure to still have no movement.

"Huh...... Interesting ......"

He didn't believe that this thing could be harmless.

Leo narrowed his eyes, he took off the compound longbow and an arrow on his back, started work, pulled the string, took the arrow, and the next moment, the arrow of the steel arrow broke through the air.

"Hugh—"

With a violent sound of breaking the air, the arrow fell deep into the head of the gray-robed figure, causing the gray-robed figure's body to tremble, but there was still no response.

Leo lowered his longbow.

It seems that the head is not the weakness of the gray-robed figure.

Case......

Put away the longbow, the long sword at his waist was unsheathed in an instant, and when the magic power flowed, a cyan halo of light was misty on the dark silver sword body, and the next moment.

"Silk—"

The extremely condensed cyan crescent sword qi came out of the sword with Leo's slashing action.

The air automatically retreated in front of the sword qi, and without the influence of air resistance, the speed of the sword qi flying was unusually fast, and in an instant, it crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters and slashed at the body of the gray-robed figure.

I don't believe it, so you can remain indifferent.

Leo stared at the gray-robed figure with his eyes, watching as the cyan sword qi narrowed closer to it until it was in full contact.

"Torah—"

The cyan sword qi slashed the gray-robed figure in half without any hindrance, and the unabated sword qi left a huge crack in the square that was a hundred meters backwards, several meters deep, almost extending from the center of the square to the edge of the square.

The power of a sword, terrifying, this is the miraculous power that comes from the soul - the power of magic.

The gray-robed figure was thrown into the air with its broken body in two, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The upper half of its body was facing Leo's direction, allowing Leo to see its face clearly.

It was a face completely covered with swollen and ugly scars, and the eyes, nose, and mouth, these unique human organs, were completely invisible on this face, making the scalp tingle.

The gray-robed figure with its waist slashed did not die immediately, its upper body crawled slowly towards its lower body, as if trying to reconnect.

Leo frowned.

How so?

It's all cut in half, and this thing still looks "harmless"?

Is it really that weak?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Leo's thoughts spun rapidly, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he looked in the direction of the campfire.

If the gray-robed figure is the caretaker of the bonfire, then what if it attacks the bonfire?

It's not going to be indifferent anymore, is it?

As soon as he thought of it, Leo mobilized his magic power, and only used 1 mana value to enchant the long sword, and the blue light flowed, slashing in the direction of the bonfire.

A small sword qi from the body roared out and pointed directly at the bonfire.

The speed of the sword qi was very fast, but just when the sword qi was still thirty meters away from the bonfire, a mutation occurred.

An inexplicable black gas blocked the front of the sword qi, and in the roaring explosion, the sword qi exploded into cyan fireworks.

Ignoring the exploding sword qi, Leo's eyes locked on the direction of the gray-robed figure from beginning to end.

When the black qi appeared, the upper body of the gray-robed figure suddenly stopped moving.

In the next moment, terrifying fluid black mud poured out from the broken sections of the upper and lower bodies of the gray-robed figure at the same time.

The speed at which the fluid black mud gushes out is very fast, and in less than a tenth of a second, the fluid black mud gushing out of it swells to an extremely exaggerated level, comparable to a small three-story building, it is unimaginable how the "petite" body of the gray-robed figure can accommodate such a volume of black mud.

The surging of black mud continued, and quickly occupied the space of the square, as a last resort, Leo could only withdraw from the range of the square, and opened a distance of nearly 100 meters, looking at the abnormal changes in the square.

The wriggling fluid black mud had completely filled the square with a radius of 100 meters at this moment, and from a distance, it looked like a huge black sarcoma.

After swelling to this extent, the black mud begins to shrink.

Eventually, a giant monster with a body similar to a giant python but with many slender black limbs was formed!

It was the one who appeared on the hundred-meter-high wall that day and was repulsed, the black mud python monster!
