I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 167 (6/10 Seeking Monthly Tickets) Nemesis? I, Arkham, have no nemesis!

After listening, Ivan and the others nodded in unison and advanced cautiously.

After advancing a few meters, and crossing that critical point—

The underground space, which was empty just a second ago, instantly transformed into a sacrificial site of considerable size.

They have crossed over from the material world and entered the realm of rules in the dream world.

Everything in the dream world cannot be explained by the laws of physics.

The entire sacrificial site is about fifty meters in diameter and about twenty meters high.

There are numerous caves resembling tombs on all four sides.

You can see hundreds of ghouls crawling around in the cave.

These ghouls are relatively low-level; they don't have human shapes and simply crawl instinctively on the ground.

Meanwhile, in those tombs, there were also a large number of bronze corpses without self-awareness wandering back and forth.

Looking around, it's densely packed, it's terrifying to look at!

In the middle of the sacrificial site was a high platform.

Three people were hanging from the high platform.

Two men and one woman.

All three had silver hair, and their necks had been cut open.

The person was hanging upside down, and a large amount of black blood flowed down the wound into the basin below.

And in the very center is a pale-faced person who has fallen into a coma.

It was Richard.

Upon witnessing this scene, the four of them immediately turned red in the eyes.

Richard, the current leader of their faction!

It hung there upside down like a piece of pork hanging in a butcher shop!

Black blood was still flowing from the wound on his neck, dripping into the copper basin.

Before they could take any action, a cold laugh came from afar.

"I must say your investigation skills are quite excellent; you found this place so quickly."

The four of them turned to look at each other at the same time, and Martin calmly walked up to the high platform in the distance.

He patted Richard's pale face with his palm, a smug smile on his face.

"But it's fine this way."

"I was originally planning to spread some rumors later to lure you stray dogs over here."

"Now that you've come here to die, it's saved us a lot of trouble."

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw hundreds of ghouls staring at them with their dark eyes.

Those eyes, so sinister and cold in the dimly lit sacrificial ground, were filled with bestial madness.

Besides the hundreds of ghouls, the bronze corpses, driven by some force, also fixed their gaze on Evan and his companions.

Ivan pointed at Martin in the distance and cursed, "You just wait, you bastard!"

"I'll grind you to dust today!!"

Hill grabbed Evan's arm and warned him.

"Don't let yourself get caught up in anger; beware of their traps."

"It is especially important to remain calm at times like these."

Just as they were talking, they saw the bronze gates rushing towards them from all directions, with many ghouls mixed in among them.

Those purplish-black figures surged in from all directions like a surging tide.

Faced with this situation, Hill quickly gave orders.

"Erlong, you are in charge of maintaining the entrance to the passage between the Dreamland and the real world. Don't let them trap us here."

"Leave these rabble to us."

Erlong nodded immediately, took a step back, and took out various materials from the bag at his waist, then retreated directly outside the curtain.

A few seconds later, Ivan clearly saw Erlon's transparent soul floating in the veil between the material world and the dream realm, constantly muttering something in a low voice.

It was when these sounds rang out that Ivan felt something as bright as a lighthouse appear in his soul.

Through this lighthouse, he can discern his current position and know where the exit is.

Although he didn't know what this thing was used for, he understood the principle behind it instantly.

"Isn't that the Star Torch!?"

Bang!

While pondering this in his mind, Ivan showed no mercy.

The copper transformation unfolded instantly, and then, with the help of Hill and David, Ivan charged straight into the group of copper corpses and ghouls like a mad dog unleashed from its cage.

when!when!when!

The sounds of metal clashing and tearing filled the air.

Evan allowed the group to surround him and launch a frenzied attack.

However, there were no wounds on his body, only some dents on his bronze skin.

And while these guys were biting and attacking.

Thud! Splat! Crack!

Various eerie sounds rang out continuously, and Ivan's bronze arms carried an unparalleled and terrifying power.

With a casual punch, he could send four or five ghouls that were grabbing his arms flying.

Five or six bronze corpses embraced his body and waist, but their strength seemed so weak.

Ivan smashed their heads in less than a second with his fists like whack-a-mole, then kicked them away casually.

In an instant, Ivan carved out a beachhead in front of the two men, where more than twenty corpses were piled up, forming a wall of corpses.

David was completely dumbfounded: "OMG! Is that Arkham?"

At that moment, Hill immediately shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

No matter how valiant Evan was, he couldn't stop the horde of bronze corpses charging from a 180-degree angle in front of him.

The bronze corpses and ghouls on both sides, mixed together, were already rushing towards the two of them.

Faced with this situation, David grinned, and then saw the chainsaw-like thing in his hand suddenly tug at.

The next moment —

boom!

A booming sound, like that of a small-caliber cannon, rang out.

The dozen or so bronze corpses and ghouls that rushed towards him were blasted away.

As they were flung away, their bodies were torn to pieces by the hundreds of marbles, and by the time they hit the ground, they were already scattered in pieces.

"Wang! De! Fa!"

Ivan's eyes widened when he saw the power of the shot out of the corner of his eye.

"David! This thing of yours is way too powerful!"

David exclaimed loudly, "What do you think I spend my days researching?!"

As he was speaking, David fired another shot.

boom!

Once again, it shattered more than a dozen bronze corpses and ghouls into pieces.

Unfortunately, this thing seems to only have enough propellant for two shots.

However, just when the ghouls and bronze corpses thought he had no backup plan, this guy simply took the serrated disc off from behind and installed it on the front.

Then pull the rope suddenly!

With a buzzing sound, the front wheel began to spin rapidly at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, the small-caliber cannon had transformed into a terrifying cutting machine.

At this moment, David wielded this powerful weapon with great force.

All the bronze corpses and ghouls that came into contact with the wheel in front were instantly sliced ​​open, unable to get close at all.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hill was much more refined.

Using her new Expert-level abilities, she easily controlled the four ghouls.

Then, drawing his silver sword, he used his powerful melee combat skills and telekinesis to quickly clear away the surging bronze corpses and ghouls.

Martin, standing on a high platform in the distance, couldn't help but curse as he watched this.

"You damned brute, you really love to ruin other people's good things."

The next second, Martin waved his hand.

Hill and David shouted at the same time, "Watch out!"

Ivan was taken aback, as he didn't see any danger on his side.

Then the next instant—

His body flew straight for more than 20 meters as if he had been hit by a speeding car, before crashing heavily to the ground.

You can see that half of Evan's body has collapsed.

Something sharp, through its powerful impact, pierced two fist-sized holes in his bronzed chest and neck!

His entire body was piled up like a wrecked doll.

"Evan!!!"

Hill and David were furious when they saw this and shouted angrily.

Hill teleported to Ivan's side and hurriedly asked with concern, "Ivan! Ivan!!!"

She knew that Evan had a good self-healing ability.

But self-healing doesn't mean immortality!

The reason they can't die is because of the Bloodthirsty Seed class, not because of any special trait!

This injury is far more severe than the simple skin burns I suffered last time.

Seeing Evan's disheveled appearance, she immediately felt extremely regretful.

She felt she shouldn't have brought Evan along.

What she least wanted to see was that Richard would not be saved, and that their only hope for the future of their lineage would be sacrificed.

Just as Hill was expressing concern for Evan, things weren't going well for David.

With the triangular formation now missing two corners, David was quickly pulled in and surrounded in the middle.

Just as Hill was about to cry, Evan coughed.

"Senior sister! I'm not that easy to die."

Then, under her gaze, the wounds on Evan's chest and neck healed rapidly, and his deformed and twisted body returned to normal within seconds.

"Senior sister, hurry up and help David, I'll handle that bastard."

Hill nodded immediately, tears of joy streaming down his face, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.

At this moment, Evan realized that the one who had attacked him earlier was the giant ghoul.

Because my current spiritual vision is only eight points, I couldn't see that big guy and that's why I was ambushed.

"Since we've started fighting, then I won't hold back."

Click!

Ivan directly crushed the Insightful Potion in his rectum.

[You have absorbed the Enlightenment Potion through your rectum. Effects last: 30 minutes.]

[Effect: During the duration of the medicine's effects, Spiritual Vision increases by 15 points.]

You reversed the side effects of the Insight Potion.

[Reversal progress: 60 hours.]

As the potion of wisdom was absorbed into his rectum, Evan felt his vision being elevated once again.

His current 23-point spiritual vision allows him to see through the master's methods, let alone a giant ghoul.

Then Ivan saw it.

Where I had just been standing, lay a monster that looked like a flesh-and-blood tank.

It is over 3.5 meters long and over 2 meters tall at the shoulder. Its purplish-black carapace is covered with ulcers and white bone spurs.

Its enormous body, menacing bony horns, and incredibly hard carapace give it the feel of an armored vehicle.

The drug use continued.

You have consumed an energy potion.

You have taken a purifying potion.

Ivan drank two more bottles of medicine, and just as he was about to drink the third—

The giant ghoul called the Chariot charged over in an instant.

These monsters certainly didn't intend to wait until the witcher had finished drinking before attacking.

Then they saw the giant ghoul's enormous claws slam directly towards Evan's head.

The claws were bigger than Evan's entire head, and the nails on them looked like five scimitars.

Bang! Crack!

With a metallic clang, Ivan's fist collided directly with the enormous claw.

Ivan's bronze arm was smashed into several pieces by the expert-level giant ghoul with a single claw, the sound of bones breaking echoing in the space.

While Ivan's arm was broken, the huge claw went straight for Ivan's waist.

Ivan reacted very quickly, dodging the attack with a sidestep.

The claws grazed his side, sending up a foul stench.

As soon as Evan landed, he saw that his broken arm had completely healed.

It only took one second from start to finish!

Faced with a completely disadvantageous situation, Ivan grinned.

"Here's something good for you!"

As he spoke, he quickly activated the copper plague virus.

The instant he touched her, he had already instilled a concentrated cluster of plague through contact.

Just then, Martin, who was in the distance, seemed to sense Ivan's methods and let out a sneer.

"Idiot! Your methods of manipulating viruses are useless against us ghouls."

"We ghouls are a race tempered in the Dream Realm, born and raised amidst countless plagues and viruses."

"Your method of plotting against Jack Alcott might be useful to you humans, but it means nothing to us ghouls."

Upon hearing this, Ivan's expression changed slightly.

He looked at the giant ghoul; logically, the virus in its body should have already taken effect by now.

But the giant ghoul didn't seem to react at all.

Those viruses were like lava thrown into the ocean, causing no ripples whatsoever.

"Holy crap! You can do that?!"

While Evan was still in a daze, the giant ghoul once again arrived in front of him with unstoppable force.

Ivan's body was once again sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

Martin, standing on the high platform, let out a smug laugh.

"So Alcott is a complete waste; he acted rashly without even investigating the situation."

"Arkham, you brute! I can tell you this now."

"Giant ghouls are your nemesis."

"Your pride in physical strength, your pride in plague-spreading methods, are meaningless against the perfect body of a giant ghoul."

He then continued, his words aimed at destroying the very soul he was trying to destroy.

"I advise you to give up resistance. We have already investigated your methods."

"A complete idiot!"

"It simultaneously activated the copper-like properties, the bloodthirsty species properties, and a certain property that can control plagues."

"That's all you've got! We've investigated you thoroughly!"

"Tsk tsk, your methods can only crush weaker people who are physically weaker than you."

"If you really encounter someone whose physique completely overwhelms you, you have no means of fighting back."

Upon hearing this, Hill and David, who were in the distance, turned pale and looked towards Evan.

The two were afraid that Ivan, this inexperienced young man, would be so discouraged by these words that he would fall into despair.

Then they heard—laughter.

"Hehehe—Hahahaha!!!"

Then Ivan got up from the ground, covered his face with his hands, and his voice kept changing from a low murmur to wild laughter.

You could see that Ivan's expression was quite distorted and ferocious. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was completely open, revealing his neat, white teeth.

His wide eyes, bloodshot and filled with an unbridled arrogance and frankness.

"Finally, a monster has come along that doesn't play any fancy tricks with me and just goes for the numbers!"

"Hahaha! Great! Excellent!"

"My nemesis? You bunch of stray dogs?"

He paused for a moment, his face filled with confidence and madness.

"I, Arkham! Have no nemesis!!!"
