My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

The entire Glory Judgment Realm is black.

The black earth stretched to the horizon, making the deep red sun appear particularly eerie.

Lin Mo was teleported to a forest.

Looking down around, I saw that everything, from the grass to the trees, was uniformly black.

At this moment, he felt extremely weak.

Close your eyes and let your mind sink into your body.

The attribute panel unfolds in my consciousness:

Name: Lin Mo

[Level: 65]

【Body: 254366】

[Agility: 254366]

【Spirit: 254366】

Free attribute points: 18450

[Skills: Mirror Image, Double Strike, Steel Sword, Soul Corrosion, Fatal Strike, Evolution, Soul Fusion]

【Sacred Revelation: Killing Domain】

Level 65.

All attributes: 250,000.

Lin Mo opened his eyes and looked down at his hands, which were still trembling slightly.

His mental energy was almost depleted, but his physical strength remained—even stronger than before he entered the secret realm.

The surge in attributes brought about by advancing five levels in a row brought his physical strength to a whole new level.

Those 50,000 spectators weren't killed in vain.

He took a deep breath and stood up, supporting himself on his knees.

My legs are still shaking, a consequence of mental exhaustion, but my muscles are still strong.

He clenched his fist, feeling that familiar, heavy force.

Now is not the time to rest.

He raised his head and looked up at the black sky.

Outside the secret realm, the three demigods are surely still guarding that place, waiting for him to leave.

Three days.

After the match ends, the secret realm will automatically open its exit.

Then he'll have to face those three guys.

With their current strength, a direct confrontation would only lead to certain death.

We must find a way to counter them.

The most urgent task now is to find Yin Xue and Mian Mian.

Fortunately, the three of them were bound by a soul bond.

He closed his eyes and focused his mind on sensing.

That vague, almost imperceptible connection came from two directions.

Two vague coordinates appeared in his mind.

"Wait for me."

He muttered to himself and took a step toward Yin Xue, who was closer.

After taking only a few steps, a rustling sound suddenly came from the surrounding darkness.

The sounds came from all directions.

In the grass, behind the rocks, deep in those enormous shadows.

More and more, getting closer and closer.

Then, one by one, figures emerged from the darkness.

It was a hunched humanoid creature with grayish-white skin, withered muscles, and a pair of eyes that emitted a ghostly green light.

It was on all fours, its mouth full of fangs, letting out a hoarse growl.

Ghoul.

The second, the third, the tenth.

more and more.

They emerged from the woods, crawled out of the cracks in the rocks, and stepped out of the dark red light.

Dozens of ghouls surrounded Lin Mo.

Those eerie green eyes all stared at him, at this intruder who looked extremely weak.

Lin Mo ignored them.

He even walked forward without any expression on his face.

His depleted mental energy made his steps appear very weak.

The ghouls followed closely behind, eyeing their prey menacingly, inching closer, ready to devour it at any moment.

When they got within about 10 meters of Lin Mo, one of the ghouls suddenly pounced.

However, Lin Mo simply waved his hand listlessly.

A streak of dark light flashed by.

Before the dozens of ghouls could even react, their bodies were cleanly severed in two.

Grayish-white corpses lay scattered on the ground, and black liquid flowed from the broken ends, seeping into the black rocky ground.

Lin Mo continued walking forward.

His steps were still a little unsteady, like that of an old man, but every step he took was very steady.

……

This is a swamp.

An endless black swamp.

The rotting, withered trees stretched out from the mud, like countless struggling hands.

The stench of decaying plants and animals filling the nostrils made one want to vomit.

Meanwhile, Yin Xue was crawling through the mud.

Her wings were already soaked and covered in mud, making it impossible for her to fly.

Those blood-red eyes were half-open, half-closed, and her little face was frighteningly pale. She had to pant for a long time after each step she took.

Damn it... damn it, damn it, damn it...

She cursed him countless times in her heart.

The aftereffects of burning the source are far more serious than imagined.

Now she can't even muster a trace of magic, and can only crawl through the swamp with her tiny body.

But we still have to climb.

Those three demigods are definitely waiting outside; Lin Mo alone can't possibly handle them.

She needs to recover quickly, she needs to find a way, she needs to...

Voices could be heard from ahead.

Yin Xue's body stiffened abruptly.

She held her breath and buried her entire body in the mud, leaving only her eyes showing.

Look ahead through the decaying, withered grass.

Not far away, three figures were walking towards them.

It is a human being.

They were dressed in the leather armor and cloth robes commonly seen on heroes, with weapons hanging at their waists, chatting and laughing.

"So this is the Realm of Glory's Judgment?"

A young voice rang out, tinged with disappointment.

"I thought it would be spectacular, but this is all?"

Be content.

Another voice chimed in.

"It's already a miracle we got in. This is a trial ground that only those below level 70 can enter, and countless people are fighting tooth and nail to get a spot."

"Too."

The third voice chuckled twice.

"I heard that the undead creatures in this place are monsters from the Demon King's army back then, which were refined by the gods and thrown here specifically for us to level up."

"The Demon King's Army? You mean those Demon Kings who were defeated by the Hero? That was so many years ago!"

"Some are decades or even hundreds of years old, anyway, they're long gone."

"It would be better if they were dead, otherwise how would we have had a chance to get in?"

……

The three of them burst into laughter.

Yin Xue lay prone in the mud, his blood-red eyes fixed on the three people.

The Demon King's Army.

Devil.

They're long dead.

She gritted her teeth and suppressed the impulse.

Now is not the time to be stubborn.

She remained lying down, waiting for the three people to walk away.

The footsteps grew closer.

Getting closer.

Just when she thought they were about to walk over—

A pair of shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.

Yin Xue was stunned.

She looked up.

A young face was looking down at her, eyes wide open and mouth agape.

Holy crap!!!

The man's voice boomed across the swamp.

"Brothers, come quick!! This...this is..."

His finger pointed to the crimson blood in the mud, his voice trembling:

"A succubus!! A living succubus!!!"

Hearing this, the other two also came over.

At this moment, Yin Xue's red hair, damp with mud, clung to her cheeks.

The tiny demon wings were completely covered in mud, making them look utterly pathetic.

Those blood-red eyes stared at the three heroes before him, and he said, word by word, "Who did you call a succubus?"

The three heroes were stunned for a moment, then laughed even harder.

"Oh ho, that's pretty fierce."

The tall, thin man at the front took a step forward and looked her up and down.

"That size, those wings, that hair—what else could it be but a succubus?"

The short, chubby hero next to him was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight: "Hahahaha, this little thing is pretty stubborn! I like it!"

The last one was a burly man with a scar on his face. He crossed his arms and squinted at Yin Xue.

"Wait a minute, aren't succubi supposed to be in their adult form? Why are they so small? Are they cubs?"

"I've heard that succubi can change their form at will. Whatever, they're rare anyway."

The tall, thin man rubbed his hands together, his eyes growing brighter: "This thing is rare. If we catch it and sell it, how many good things can we get in return?"

"Sell?"

The short, stout hero curled his lip.

"Why sell it? Can't we keep it for ourselves?"

"Aren't you afraid of being drained dry?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

The three of them burst into laughter again.
