Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

The skeletal duke buried his head deep in the ground, his tone filled with absolute submission and awe.

"That beast Shen Wandi destroyed my foundation. If it weren't for your protection, my old bones would have been devoured by other forces in the canyon sooner or later, leaving not even ashes."

The Skeleton Duke raised his hand and used his sharp finger bones to carve out a lord's mark radiating an SS-level aura from between his eyebrows.

"I am willing to relinquish full control of the Bone Manor. From this day forward, the Bone Manor will be the most loyal subordinate force of Red Moon Castle!"

Jiang Luo looked at the Lord's Mark handed to him, and the two tufts of hair on his head stood up straight with joy.

Without any hesitation, she reached out her little hand, grabbed the mark, and stuffed it into the pocket of her pleated skirt.

"Big guy, you're smart to stick with me. From now on, follow Luo Luo, and I guarantee no one will dare to lay a finger on your family again."

Jiang Luo carefully placed the mark, then turned around to look at the dozens of high-ranking lords around him who were still trembling.

These once powerful figures who roamed freely in Burial Canyon were now all feeling their scalps tingle under Jiang Luo's gaze.

Jiang Luo walked up to an S-class monster with three heads, wearing small leather shoes.

"The big guys have already paid protection money, do you think you can get away with saving Lolo's life for nothing?"

Jiang Luo's Blood Moon Scythe drew a blinding spark on the ground, startling the three-headed monster so much that it immediately pulled out all its storage bags.

"Lord Jiang, spare my life! This is all the crystallization of my Blackwater Swamp, along with my lord's mark. From this day forward, the Blackwater Swamp will be entirely at the command of Red Moon Castle!"

With the first one taking the lead, the remaining lords dared not hesitate.

The sounds of kowtowing and rummaging through pockets echoed throughout the basement.

Jiang Luo looked at the pile of soul crystals and dozens of lord marks on the ground, and his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons with joy.

"Shadow, get a large sack and put all these sparkly things back in Lolo's place!"

Shadow nodded obediently, manipulating the shadows on the ground to transform into a giant sack, which thoroughly looted the spoils.

As Jiang Luo collected all the lord marks, the nonsensical system that had been feigning death finally came back to life in her mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully subjugating the SS-level force, Bone Manor, and thirty-seven S-level subordinate forces.]

The territory of Red Moon Castle is expanding exponentially, and its overall rating has far exceeded the current regional limit.

[The deep basement area of ​​the castle has been detected and meets the activation requirements.]

The new forbidden area "Abyssal Old God's Cage" has been unlocked. The host only needs to pay 300,000 Fear Points to obtain permanent access to this forbidden area.

Jiang Luo's cheerful nerve was instantly cleaved in two by those words.

She even doubted whether she had misheard that outrageous number.

"You heartless, rotten system, why don't you just rob someone!"

Jiang Luo roared inwardly, her two small, sharp teeth grinding together.

o(▼皮▼メ;)o

"Lolo just worked hard outside treating people to tea and earned 300,000 fear points. He hasn't even had a chance to enjoy them yet, and you want to steal them all in one go?"

For the first time ever, the system's mechanical electronic voice carried a hint of irritating pleasure.

[Please be mindful of your wording, host. This system always adheres to the principle of fair trade and will never engage in any forced buying or selling.]

If you feel the price is unreasonable, you can simply choose not to open this forbidden area and let the slumbering Great Old Ones inside continue to gather dust.

【Haven't I already made my intention to steal your fear points crystally clear? How can you blame me?】

Jiang Luo's face turned red with anger, and she stomped her feet, wearing black leather shoes, into the ground, creating a deep hole.

She now desperately wanted to crawl into the brainwaves and drag this cunning system out and rub it on the ground a hundred times.

"You just wait, Lolo. When Lolo becomes the supreme god of this wretched world, the first thing he'll do is dismantle you into parts and sell you to the junk collectors!"

The system's mechanical electronic voice, laced with undisguised mockery, was practically dancing in Jiang Luo's brain.

[Host, you should probably put away your unrealistic fantasies. With your current bloated physique, barely reaching the SSS-level threshold, you'd probably need to reincarnate eight hundred times more to control the entire Abyss and the bizarre world.]

Jiang Luo was so angry that her cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish, and she stomped her toes, clad in black leather shoes, on the bronze floor.

"You piece of junk, all you do is spout nonsense, Lolo will take you apart and make soup with you sooner or later!"

(╬◣д◢)

Jiang Luo cursed inwardly, biting his gleaming white shark teeth, and directly severed his brainwave communication with the system.

She trudged heavily up the stone steps leading to the ground, even the two white tufts of hair on her head exuding a menacing aura that kept strangers at bay.

The pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of burning flesh hit me in the face.

Hundreds of believers dressed in black robes were densely packed around the spacious church hall and the surrounding square.

These once fanatical individuals now resembled puppets without strings, aimlessly wandering through the ruins with their bodies covered in bluish tumors.

With Shen Wandi's death, the source of purity that sustained their lives was completely severed. These brainwashed, defective individuals lost even the most basic thinking abilities, leaving only the instinct to devour flesh and blood.

Jiang Luo reached out and pinched her pert little nose, then took a half-step back in disgust and hid behind Naya's bone cane.

"What a bunch of aesthetically unappealing trash, they'd stink even if they were used as fertilizer."

Jiang Luo turned her head and looked at the shadow who was hugging the tattered bear.

"Little Shadow, you've been lurking in the church these past few days, you should have figured out what's going on here by now, right?"

Shadow immediately straightened up, his pure black eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light.

"Don't worry, Mom, Shadow knows what to do."

Jiang Luo patted An Ying on the shoulder with satisfaction, then casually took out a strawberry lollipop from his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

"Red Moon Castle doesn't keep useless freeloaders. Pick out the valuable talents and take them with you. Let the rest of the trash fend for themselves here."

Shadow bowed respectfully, and the shadow beneath his feet instantly transformed into countless sharp black spikes, creeping along the ground towards the believers in the square.

Several enormous believers, whose tumors had begun to harden, sensed the danger and instinctively opened their gaping maws and pounced on the shadow.

Shadow didn't even lift his eyelids, and gently hooked his finger in mid-air.

More than a dozen black spikes pierced through the skulls of the believers, pinning them firmly to the broken bronze pillar.

"Mom said you're trash, so you don't deserve to keep breathing."

The childish voice of the shadow was chillingly ruthless, and the shadow itself transformed into a sharp blade, frantically reaping the worthless defective goods in the square.

[Fear level from believers +1000!]

[Fear level from believers +1000!]

A black-robed believer, whose face was half rotten, regained a sliver of consciousness. He looked in horror at the approaching black spikes, then knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed frantically.

Pleading for mercy, I still have a use! I know where the cult leader hid those high-level materials! Please don't kill me!

The shadow stopped manipulating the shadow and turned to look at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo didn't even glance at the believer, focusing intently on biting the plastic stick of the lollipop.

"Trash who can even betray their own master, keeping them in Red Moon Castle will only waste Lolo's food. Cut them all up, don't leave a single piece of meat."

Shadow nodded, and the shadow transformed into a sharp blade that instantly pierced the believer's throat, utterly shattering his pleas for mercy into dust in the wind.

[Fear level from believers +2000!]

Naya stood to the side, cane in hand, watching Shadow skillfully clear the battlefield with his shadow, his white gloves gently pushing up his monocle.

"My lord, the young master's methods are increasingly reminiscent of your own back then. Given time, he will surely become the sharpest blade in Red Moon Castle."
