Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 248 The Scenery of the Reverse World
The night was as dark as a sheet of black cloth, and the abandoned parking lot looked particularly eerie under the dim street lights. It was strangely quiet all around, with only the whistling sound of the wind circling in the air.

The air was filled with the smell of gasoline and rust, mixed with the smell of damp earth. This smell has been with this place for a long time, but today there are other smells.

"Ouch."

A faint scream was heard in the wind, as if it was the cry of a puppy, followed by a faint smell of blood.

The rusted car made a creaking sound of metal squeezing, making everyone in the van look nervous.

"They're coming?" Jim said in a breath.

Eleven nodded with difficulty. The blood at the tip of her nose had just blocked up, and her mental strength had also been damaged in her search for Barbara.

Everyone hid in the van, not daring to make a sound. In the dead silence, there was nothing but the occasional footsteps coming from outside the van and the sound that sounded like a puppy crying.

Suddenly, the surrounding sounds disappeared.

Everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that all the monsters had left. Just as Jim was about to ask questions.

"boom!!"

There was a loud noise from the van, and the hard metal roof was marked with several footprints left by some unknown creature.

"Roar!!"

A shrill roar was heard, and the glass of the van was suddenly opened. A thin, dark arm stretched out, grabbed Lucas and dragged him out of the car.

"Lucas!!" Mike shouted anxiously. Now everyone knew that the monsters had discovered them.

Everyone quickly opened the door and ran out of the car, ready to rescue Lucas, but they didn't expect to find two monsters standing on the roof of the van as soon as they got out of the car.

"It's those Demogorgons!" Dustin shouted with chattering teeth.

The two monsters in the van saw the fresh flesh and blood and ran out of the car. They immediately pounced on him, aiming directly at Dustin who was standing next to Eleven.

Eleven gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his brain and stretched out his hand.

Two ominous black shadows rushed towards Dustin with a devilish roar, and their sharp claws were like five sharp daggers, flashing the light of death.

The veins on Eleven's forehead throbbed, as if she was enduring unspeakable pain. Her hands were slightly open, and her palms were secretly gathering invisible power. As the monster's roar got closer and closer, her telekinesis was like a bow and arrow ready to be fired, and finally released the moment the monster pounced.

There was no roar, no explosion, only eleven palms pushed out violently, and an invisible force knocked the monster straight away. The monster drew two long arcs in the air and smashed into the concrete wall in the distance. The wall cracked like a piece of paper, and the monster was deeply embedded in it.

Eleven was breathing rapidly, but she didn't dare to stop to rest. When she escaped from the laboratory that night, she had learned the vitality of these monsters. This level of attack alone could not kill them.

She quickly turned to the monster that had captured Lucas, and her telekinesis burst out again, breaking the monster's arm. The monster roared in pain, and Lucas saw this and rolled back to the crowd.

At this time, the two monsters that were knocked away had crawled out from the wall. They roared as if they were not hurt, jumped onto the top of the van, and looked at everyone with eager eyes.

Eleven stood in front of everyone, glaring at the monsters with fierce eyes like a lioness protecting her cubs.

Dustin spoke again at this time, and he said tremblingly: "Two more have come."

Everyone looked back and found that two more monsters appeared behind them. There were five monsters in total standing in different positions, completely blocking them!

"No." Eleven also noticed it, with some despair in her eyes. With so many monsters, she had no chance of winning.
While Eleven and the others were struggling in the monster pile, Nemesis had already crossed the gap. "Is this the Shadowfall Underworld?" Nemesis sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The small town of Hawkins has hardly changed, except that everything here has become shrouded in gloom.

On the ground, black vines spread randomly. They seemed to have life, wriggling slowly, adding a bit of weirdness to this dead city.

Whenever red lightning flashed across the sky and illuminated the dust-covered glass windows, for a moment the city seemed to be given a breath, and then, there was deathly silence again.

In this place that looks exactly like a modern city, there is no trace of life and vitality. This is a world without color, with only gray sky, black vines, and occasional flashes of red lightning, forming a picture of the end of the world.

"It's a really ugly sight, but it's not without its benefits."

Nemesis stretched and breathed in fresh air as if he had not breathed in a long time.

The magic web here was in an active state. After the mana recovered in his body came into contact with the magic web, it regained its dazzling arcane brilliance.

Seventh-ring prophecy spell—[Advanced Detection]!
Nemesis chanted a spell in a low voice, his pupils were filled with dazzling white light, and his magic power merged into the magic net, which quickly began to explore like a radar.

"Found it." Nemesis curled the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, the child named Will was not far away from him, otherwise this simulacrum would not be so easy to find using prophecy without the bonus of the power gem.

"Tsk, was he caught? He's not dead yet?"

Nemesis activated the teleportation and instantly appeared in the basement of a villa. The black vines had corroded this place into underground passages, and Will was lying unconscious among the countless vines.

"Roar!!"

Will was surrounded by three chrysanthemum monsters at this time, staring at him eagerly. They launched an attack the moment they saw Nemesis.

"act recklessly."

Nemesis sneered and pointed at the three-headed monster.

Fifth-ring Shaping Spell——[Instant Pyroblast]!
Instantly, the body of the three-headed chrysanthemum monster seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and it burned from the inside out. The flames devoured its strong muscles, thick skin, and those sharp horns and thorns. The monster's roar stopped abruptly, replaced by painful wails, but they could not escape the wizard's punishment.

"Sure enough, these monsters are just like ordinary shadow monsters and are afraid of fire." Nemesis looked at the ashes that the three monsters had turned into, thinking.

Even in the vast memory inheritance of the Volume Dragon, there has never been any information about this kind of monster.

Although they look no different from ordinary Shadow World monsters, Nemesis knows that their nature is not simple at all.

Behind these monsters exists a monster with extremely strong mental power, controlling their actions.

"etc."

Nemesis suddenly noticed that as the monster was burning, the surrounding vines began to tremble, as if they were feeling some intense pain.

"Could it be that they are not being manipulated, but are monsters with some kind of collective ideology?"

Nemesis suddenly woke up. This was also a possibility. These monsters might not have strong mental power, but when they were combined together, they could not be underestimated.
