Horror Resurrection: I Evolve Starting with the Ghost Buddha

"Damn it!"

As the dragon boat rocked violently, a middle-aged man in a tattered robe, with a bear-like build, roared from the Chauvin Empire's ranks.

His name is Norkov.

She is an S-rank, third-tier forbidden member of the Chauvin Empire.

Half of his body was human, while the other half was covered in blue ice crystals, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

"You dare to show off such a low-level trick in front of me?!"

Norkov was hot-tempered and impulsive, and he couldn't stand anything sneaky or furtive.

He took a sudden step forward, slamming his right foot heavily onto the deck of the dragon boat.

"Freeze it for me!!"

boom!!!

A terrifying, extremely cold rule erupted from him instantly.

Click! Click! Click!

The boiling seawater instantly froze.

Those pale arms that were clinging tightly to the bottom of the ship turned into crystal-clear ice sculptures in the blink of an eye.

The cold air did not stop.

It spread rapidly along the sea surface and rushed directly onto that eerie faceless island.

The lights on the island went out instantly.

Before the faceless people who were singing and dancing could react, they were frozen into ice blocks of various shapes.

The whole world seemed to have been put on pause at that moment.

"Hmph, utterly pathetic."

Norkov withdrew his foot, his face full of disdain.

however.

Just as he was feeling smug.

Zhou Kai, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned pale.

The prophetic pen in his hand was trembling violently, as if it had sensed something extremely terrifying.

"Idiot! Stop it!!"

Zhou Kai roared, trying to stop Norkov.

But it was too late.

"Gurgle..."

A muffled sound, like the swallowing of a giant sea monster, suddenly came from beneath the ice.

Followed by.

Rumble!!!

The entire sea area began to tremble violently.

That thick layer of ice, like fragile glass, crumbled inch by inch.

A nauseating stench, mixed with an even thicker pink mist, gushed out from the crack.

"Wha...what happened?"

Norkov stared wide-eyed, somewhat bewildered.

"Look! That island!"

Someone pointed ahead in fear.

The faceless island that had been frozen in place suddenly began to rise!

The seawater surged wildly, creating waves hundreds of meters high.

And in those giant waves.

A shadow of unimaginable size slowly emerged from the water.

That's not an island at all!

That was a...

A huge, rotting, pus-draining... octopus head!!

"Wow!!!"

The monster let out a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, countless thick tentacles emerged from the seawater, each covered with dense suckers and sharp teeth, dancing wildly in the air.

Inside the Temple of Rebirth.

Through Zhou Kai's perspective, Lin Chuan also saw the true face of this monster.

At the same time, a series of information prompts popped up on his consciousness panel:

[S-rank, eighth-tier forbidden entity detected!]

【Title: Rotten Firefly!】

【Serial Number: 216!】

[Rules: Corrosion, Pollution, Mind Control!]

[Note: It is the overlord of the deep sea, which mutated after being corrupted by the pink mist, becoming even more ferocious and bloodthirsty!]

Just as Lin Chuan was observing the information of [Rotten Firefly].

On the dragon boat.

Faced with this sudden and terrifying behemoth, everyone's face turned deathly pale.

Even the usually proud White Rose looked solemn at this moment.

S-Rank Eighth Order Forbidden!

This is beyond her scope of response.

If not handled carefully, the entire army could be wiped out!

"Everyone! Prepare to move!"

White Rose shouted and lashed out with her black whip.

"Snapped!"

The long whip transformed into a black lightning bolt, lashing fiercely at an incoming tentacle.

But the tentacle only trembled slightly, without even breaking the skin.

Instead, a tremendous counterforce shook the white rose, making her hands go numb.

Just then.

The monster seemed to be enraged.

Its cloudy, enormous eyes were fixed on the dragon boat.

"Buzz!!!"

An invisible mental shockwave swept across the entire area in an instant.

"ah!!"

Many of the weaker demon tamers screamed and rolled around on the deck in agony, clutching their heads.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his mind collapsed instantly.

Even Zhou Kai felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if countless steel needles were piercing him.

"Oh no! It's a rule related to psychological attacks!"

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhou Kai shouted a reminder.

He wanted to mobilize the power of the rules within his body to fight back, but the mental impact was too strong, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

It looked as if the countless tentacles were about to entangle the dragon boat and drag it into the deep sea.

Zhou Kai and Bai Meigui exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute look in each other's eyes.

"Let's give it our all!"

The two of them took a step at the same time.

Behind Zhou Kai, a dark stone tablet phantom appeared, exuding an aura of suppressing everything.

White Rose, on the other hand, shone with a brilliant black light, and countless thorns grew from her body, transforming into a ferocious suit of armor.

The two hovered in mid-air, ready for a desperate fight.

However, at this very moment,

clang!!!

A melodious, deep, yet sacred and alluring bell tolled suddenly across the heavens and earth.

The sound of the bell seemed to come from heaven, yet also from hell.

It pierced through the storm, through the waves, and even through the layers of pink mist.

It resonated directly in the depths of everyone's soul.

Everyone froze in their tracks.

Including that [Rotten Firefly] that's going berserk.

Its massive body trembled violently, and a hint of confusion appeared in its originally savage eyes.

Followed by.

An unprecedented emotion welled up in its heart.

That is……

repent.

"I am guilty..."

"I have killed too many living beings..."

"I shouldn't exist..."

Countless self-doubting thoughts proliferated wildly in its mind.

Its waving tentacles slowly drooped, and its massive body began to tremble.

It's like a child who has made a mistake and is waiting for punishment from an adult.

On the deck of the dragon boat.

The doors of the long-silent "black church" slowly opened.

Endless darkness poured out from the door, transforming into phantom figures dressed in black robes and holding crosses.

They surrounded the church, softly chanting that ancient and eerie hymn.

"Sin... is the symphony of redemption."

"Punishment... is the beginning of grace."

"Repent..."

The chanting grew louder and louder.

The rotting flesh on the body of the Rotten Firefly began to fall off on its own.

It's actually... self-destructing!

"What...what kind of power is this?"

Zhou Kai watched this scene with a look of utter shock.

A single toll of a bell could cause a forbidden S-rank, eighth-order being to self-destruct?!

"As expected of a forbidden medium of SSS rank."

Lin Chuan, who was in the distance, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

This kind of rule-based power that directly manipulates the mind and evokes feelings of guilt is truly terrifying.

However, Lin Chuan also noticed that as the bell tolled...

Fine cracks began to appear on the walls of the black church.

Clearly, invoking rules at this level is a huge burden for the "Black Church," which is merely a medium.

But in any case.

The crisis has been temporarily averted.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the colossal beast rapidly crumble.

however.

Before they could even celebrate for long...

Another unexpected event has occurred!

"Hehehe..."

A strange laugh suddenly came from the collapsing giant beast.

Followed by.

A pink light pierced through the black rule-bound shroud like a sharp sword.

The [Rotting Firefly] that was self-destructing suddenly stopped trembling.

The confusion in its cloudy eyes had vanished.

Instead.

It was an even more insane, more twisted... pink light!

"repent?"

"No……"

A high-pitched and alluring female voice, not belonging to it, slowly emerged from its mouth.

boom!!!

Accompanied by the behemoth's murmurs, an even more terrifying aura of rules erupted instantly!
