I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 337 New Woman

The quiet campus was instantly shrouded in darkness.

In the darkness, the mist surged, and not a single ray of light could be seen; only the eerie mist, emanating an unsettling aura, flowed like liquid.

It seemed as if some kind of chilling terror was brewing.

In the girls' dormitory, which is close to the teaching building, several beautiful young girls were sitting together. Although they looked terrified, they were still discussing with great curiosity the evil spirit murder that had happened in the boys' dormitory not long ago.

Although the school administration tried to suppress the news immediately, how could such a shocking story be completely contained?

Not to mention that for students with boundless curiosity, the more forbidden the information is, the more excited and interested they become.

Through their male friends or faculty members, the story of the evil spirit murder in the male dormitory had already spread throughout the female dormitory and the University of Tokyo several hours earlier.

For the students who remain at school, this is even more important information that they cannot ignore.

After all, nobody wants to become the next victim of a murder committed by an evil spirit.

But just as they were getting into an exciting discussion...

Suddenly, the entire dormitory building went dark, causing the girls, who were already on edge, to instinctively shiver. If it weren't for the fact that it was broad daylight, they might have already screamed.

"Why did the sky suddenly darken? Is it going to rain?"

"I checked the weather forecast this morning; it's been sunny for the next few days. How could it possibly rain?"

"Something's wrong... Come out and see!"

The pitch-black darkness, and the eerie mist that swirled within it, quickly drew the attention of many students and faculty members who remained at the University of Tokyo.

"What the hell is going on?"

"No... could it be that evil spirit from the boys' dormitory... has come back again?"

"Impossible. The school administration specially invited high-ranking monks from Senso-ji Temple to perform rituals. Those monks are still chanting sutras near the boys' dormitory. What evil spirit would dare to come out at this time? Aren't they afraid the monks from Senso-ji Temple will just slap it away and send it to its eternal rest?"

"Let's not talk about that. My uncle is practicing at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. When I visited him last time, he told me that major temples no longer have orthodox practitioners. Those high monks have profound Buddhist teachings, but their methods of exorcising demons... well, let's not talk about them."

"Ah, now that you mention it, I'm starting to wonder if the strange phenomena outside are the work of the high monks at Senso-ji Temple, which angered that evil spirit. After all, that evil spirit killed more than a dozen boys last night; it was incredibly ruthless."

"Hiss hiss hiss... That's possible. No, I have to call the police. I trust the guns in the hands of the police more than those high monks."

"Oh no, my phone has no signal. What about yours?"

"Mine's gone too, what do I do? Could it really be that evil spirit coming to cause trouble...?"

This bizarre scene completely terrified the university students who remained at the University of Tokyo. In the girls' dormitory, the girls who had just been playing and laughing were now clutching their phones in fear, not knowing what to do.

In fact, not only the female students, but also the faculty and staff who remained at the University of Tokyo did not look much better.

Meanwhile, the Tokyo University officials, who were still in the boys' dormitory watching the monks from Senso-ji Temple performing rituals to appease evil spirits, turned pale and were filled with deep regret.

I deeply regret my past self for taking on this mission.

Fortunately.

At this critical moment, an elderly monk from Senso-ji Temple with white hair and beard put down the scriptures in his hands, put his hands together, and gently said, "Please calm down, everyone. Do not lose your composure and fall into the evil trap of that malevolent spirit."

It was just an ordinary sound, yet it resonated like a morning bell or evening drum, striking the hearts of everyone with a deafening sound.

"Master Zhiming".

Several high-ranking officials from the University of Tokyo were jolted awake by the white-haired old monk's "wake-up call".

Those who had been fleeing for their lives turned around and looked at the white-bearded old monk from Senso-ji Temple with delighted expressions.

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.

This wake-up call instantly made the group of astute Tokyo University leaders realize Master Zhiming's extraordinary abilities.

Especially after witnessing this bizarre scene, the group of Tokyo University officials, as if they had found their pillar of support, hurriedly gathered around Master Zhiming and anxiously asked, "Master Zhiming, what's going on?"

Through the window of the boys' dormitory, Master Zhiming glanced at the mist outside, which seemed like a demon baring its fangs, and the pitch-black darkness further away. He then let out a soft sigh.

"With the Five Elements reversed and Yin and Yang in disarray, we may very well have been dragged into the Abyss by that malevolent spirit. It seems that I underestimated that evil spirit. It is no longer an ordinary malevolent spirit, but a great demon that has woven a domain of law."

"I know about great demons, but what are the Boundless Realm and the Dharma Domain? Could Master Zhiming explain it more clearly?"

Master Zhiming ignored the group of anxious Tokyo University officials who were pressing him for answers. Instead, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began chanting scriptures again.

However, this time, Master Zhiming's scriptures seemed to contain some kind of magnificent and vast power.

They continuously dispelled the fog that tried to approach them.

········

Standing outside that teaching building that suddenly vanished like a dream.

Having concealed his presence through illusion magic, Erin, using his spiritual vision, gazed at the campus suddenly swallowed by darkness and sighed helplessly, "This is truly... Is it just that I'm incredibly lucky, or are you all incredibly unlucky?"

in fact.

If you were to look at the University of Tokyo from outside at this moment, you would find that apart from the sudden and eerily quiet atmosphere, nothing unusual has happened at the University of Tokyo.

Not to mention the fog and darkness that swallowed up the campus.

Because those things never actually exist in the real world.

Or.

The mist and darkness were what they saw after being pulled into this ghostly realm connected to the dimension of hell.

Between the gaps.

Or rather, the realm of demons, which is actually the term used by Japanese practitioners to refer to those beings existing in the space between the human world and hell.

More often than not, the realm of no return exists somewhere between existence and non-existence, and it does not exist for long.

However, the situation that Erin and his group are currently facing is clearly not that kind of case.

Due to Mephisto's deliberate manipulation of the Hell dimension to erode Earth, there is now overlap and merging between Earth and Hell in many places.

This causes the forces of the two worlds to project and reflect onto each other.

Because of the existence of that passage connecting to the Hell dimension, the space where the University of Tokyo is located now overlaps deeply with the Hell dimension, even producing a strange spatial folding and projection phenomenon.

The University of Tokyo still exists in the real world, but in the gap between Earth and Hell, an identical University of Tokyo has also been created. Through this strange overlapping and combination phenomenon, real beings are pulled into this ghostly realm, or rather, the abyss.

Right now, this insurmountable boundary is only temporarily bringing beings from the real world into this place.

However, if this situation is not stopped and the power of the Hell Dimension is allowed to spread, it will exacerbate the Hell Dimension's erosion of the real world.

Perhaps, before long, the University of Tokyo in the real world will truly be dragged down into hell.

·······

Just as Erin was pondering.

Meanwhile, Wang had already engaged the monster that had been hiding in the teaching building.

The Ring of Laggardor

At the king's sharp shout, two orange-yellow magic shields swiftly appeared in his hands.

Using the speed and impact from his golden flying boots, Wang raised the orange-yellow magic shield in his right hand and slammed it down mercilessly into the darkness in front of him.

next second.

A piercing scream rang out.

The piercing howl, like the hissing of insects or the mournful cry of a woman, was incredibly sharp and shrill, stabbing at Ailin's eardrums like a steel needle.

Although this power was not as great as the wailing of the siren encountered on the terrifying cruise ship, it still caused a slight stinging sensation in Erin's cochlea.

Using her spiritual power to temporarily seal her ears, Erin turned to look into the darkness illuminated by the orange-yellow magic shield in the king's hand.

Just then, a black shadow with twisting legs was seen brandishing its sharp toes and stabbing at the king.

It was a creature nearly eight meters long, covered in jet-black bristles.

The front part of the body was a naked female half-body that still roughly retained a human shape, but beneath the jet-black hair were dense patterns and many compound eyes, dense and terrifying.

This is a Jorogumo!

In Japanese folklore, demons are often depicted as a combination of a woman and a spider, or sometimes as two separate forms. They are female demons that enjoy seducing and hunting men.

Compared to the spider-faced creature Erin encountered outside Gwen's apartment building, this Jorogumo is clearly stronger and more dangerous.

When those sharp legs pierced towards the king, although they were blocked by the smaller magic shield on his left hand, they still splashed out tiny orange-yellow magical sparks on that shield.

That was the magic circle that constructed the [Ring of Raghadore]. Under the bombardment of those few feet, the structure became unstable, resulting in the dissipation phenomenon.

To be honest, Erin didn't quite understand the fighting style of the mages in Kamar-Taj. Why did they choose to be melee mages instead of proper turrets?

Is this the kind of work a mage should be doing?

Although Erin didn't understand, it didn't hinder the king's fight at all.

Although the magic shield in his hand was sparking from Jorogumo's attacks, the king showed no sign of stopping in the face of this dangerous monster. Instead, he enlarged the Ring of Raghadore in his hand, using it as a giant shield, and slammed it down on Jorogumo's body again and again.

The bombardment of the magic shield, while tearing the Jorogumo's skin and causing it to scream in agony, also ignited its ferocity.

Those sharp, piercing feet were flung around, leaving afterimages as they rained down on the king.

Chop, chop, chop!

The sound of those sharp feet slamming against the magic shield was like the roar of a heavy pile driver hitting the ground.

Although Wang relied on his golden flying boots and his agile movements, which were extremely incongruous with his physique, to dodge one deadly attack after another.

But even the best can make mistakes.

If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

As Jorogumo was once again struck back two steps by the king's magic shield, the countless compound eyes on her body suddenly shot out beams of venomous, gray-black eyes that materialized into reality.

Although most of these streams of resentment were blocked by the huge circular magic shield in front of the king, a few stray gray-black rays of resentment managed to seep through the gaps between the two magic shields and land on the king.

Fortunately, at that moment, a golden light burst forth from a bracelet on Wang's wrist, blocking the gray rays of light for him. However, Wang was also startled by the incident.

This caused the power maintaining the two magic shields in his hands to become unstable.

Ding ding!

And just then...

Two metallic-looking legs pierced through the smaller magic shield on Wang's left hand and fell towards him.

"roar!"

Just as the sharp, gleaming foot was about to pierce the king's body and penetrate the thick layer of fat, a gunshot, like the roar of a dragon, suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a black light bullet blasted away the slender leg that was piercing towards the king.

Take this opportunity.

Wang quickly retreated more than ten meters.

After leaving the range of the Jorogumo's attack, Wang breathed a slight sigh of relief, then turned to the direction from which the black light projectile had come and said, "Thank you."

Although there was still no trace of Erin in that area, Wang knew that Erin had just been there.

However, Wang's words had barely finished when

A lifelike fiery dragon suddenly appeared out of thin air beside Jorogumo, roaring as it charged towards the giant Jorogumo.

Even before the fire dragon arrived, the astonishing heat it emitted had already scorched the bristles of the Jorogumo, giving them a burnt smell.

Because of this.

Faced with the fiery dragon that was over ten meters long and radiated an astonishing temperature, the Jorogumo, who had lost one of its legs, did not hesitate to retreat. With a powerful leap, it used its remaining seven spider legs to jump directly onto the wall of a slightly dilapidated school building next to it.

But just then, an even more ferocious dragon roar suddenly rang out.

The powerful and domineering dragon roar naturally emanated a strong pressure that made Jorogumo's remaining legs go weak, and she almost fell off the dilapidated wall.

And just then...
