The sky gradually darkened.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon.

In the small town where Issa and his group were located, not a single human-shaped balloon could be seen in the sky anymore.

He has slaughtered all the ghost slaves that could be discovered.

Issa leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh.

He felt the supernatural power within him grow stronger than before, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

In just one afternoon.

His strength has been visibly improved.

Although there is still a long way to go before breaking through the bottleneck of C-level, this speed is already terrifying.

"Lord Isa... shall we rest here tonight?"

The driver asked cautiously.

After a long day of running around and experiencing such a terrifying scene, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

They desperately need rest.

However, Issa shook his head.

He took out a map and pointed to a point on it.

"No rest."

"We set off overnight to get here."

The staff looked in the direction he was pointing, and when they saw the place names marked on the map, their faces turned deathly pale.

The urban area of ​​the god of the city.

They are 300 kilometers away from where they are now.

Moreover, it is one of the most densely populated areas in Sakura Country!

Intelligence indicates that the number of ghost slaves there is ten times, or even a hundred times, that of this small town!

Furthermore, there are even stronger E-rank and D-rank ghost slaves among them!

Where to go?

What's the difference between this and voluntarily jumping into hell?

"Lord Isa, this...this is too dangerous!"

One staff member couldn't help but advise, "We've only been here for one day, why don't we play it safe and wait until tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold look from Issa.

"Danger?"

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Issa's mouth.

"If you feel it's dangerous, you can take a boat back now."

"I'll go alone."

His voice wasn't loud, but it made the air in the entire carriage seem to freeze.

The staff members exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of bitterness and helplessness in the other's eyes.

go back?

How dare they?

Issa is the hope of the entire Rock Kingdom, and their mission is to assist Lord Issa in completing this "upgrade" journey at all costs.

If they desert now, they will face a punishment far worse than death.

"We... obey!"

In the end, they could only lower their heads and respond in trembling voices.

Issa nodded in satisfaction.

He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but in this messed-up world, he needed tools that obeyed him absolutely, not a bunch of useless people who would question his decisions.

"drive."

The cold voice rang out again.

The off-road vehicle started up again, turned around, and sped off towards the area that appeared particularly dark on the map.

……

After several hours of trekking.

When the vehicle enters Shenzhen, an outer city of the Banshen Metropolitan Area.

Everyone was speechless with astonishment at the sight before them.

If the sky over that small town before was only dotted with a few black dots...

So the sky here is a dark cloud made up of countless black dots, a sight that makes your scalp crawl!

Densely packed!

It blotted out the sky and blocked out the sun!

There were countless human-shaped balloons floating in the sky above the city.

They hung there silently, their eerie smiles converging to create a terrifying aura that could shatter anyone's mind.

The eerie, chilling atmosphere in the air was more than ten times stronger than in the small town before!

"Gulp."

The driver swallowed hard, his hands gripping the steering wheel beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

however.

In stark contrast to the fears of his subordinates.

As Issa gazed at the "spectacular" scene before him, his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

That was the light of greed!

It is the light of ambition!

"very good……"

"very good!"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

He could feel it clearly.

Among these densely packed ghost slaves, there were many auras that were clearly much stronger than those of the F-rank.

Class E!

Grade D!

These are the "feast" he truly needs!

If F-grade ghost slaves are just water to quench his thirst, then these D-grade and E-grade ghost slaves are a feast to quickly replenish his energy!

"If I devour all the ghost slaves here... my strength will definitely break through to Rank B!"

Issa's heart was pounding.

Grade B!

That's a whole new realm!

Once he reaches that level, he will truly have the capital to stand firm in this world where the supernatural has revived!

of course.

Despite his excitement, Issa did not let it cloud his judgment.

He knew very well that the danger here was far greater than in the small town he had been to before.

With such a massive number of ghost slaves, if they were to form a siege, even someone at the C-rank level like him would be overwhelmed.

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, these ghost slaves are not real ants.

"Better safe than sorry."

Issa took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He didn't let the vehicle go any further, but stopped it on the edge of the city.

"Wait for me here."

He gave instructions to his men inside the car.

"Remember, no matter what happens, don't make a sound, and don't try to contact me."

After saying that, he opened the car door, and in a flash, he silently disappeared into the shadows of the city.

He wanted to be like the most experienced hunter, slowly and painstakingly devouring this vast hunting ground.

……

Silent all night.

When the morning sun struggled to pierce through the "cloud" of human-shaped balloons the next morning and shone down on this dead city.

A weary yet remarkably upright figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the city.

It was Issa.

His clothes were stained with dust and even had a few minor tears, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

That night.

He barely rested.

He was like a tireless ghost, wandering through every street and every building in Shenzhen.

He hunted down lone or small groups of ghost slaves in the safest and most efficient way.

From F-level to E-level, and then to D-level.

The number of demon slaves he has killed has exceeded four figures.

His strength also experienced an explosive increase during this night of frantic "monster hunting"!

Peak C-rank!

He could clearly feel that the supernatural power within his body had reached its limit.

Only a thin veil remains between us and the barrier that leads to Class B.

It could be exposed at any time!

"Lord Isa!"

Upon seeing Issa return safely, the staff, who had spent the entire night in the car, excitedly rushed to greet him.

"I'm fine."

Issa waved his hand and got into the car.

He took out his satellite phone and dialed the number for the Iwakuni headquarters.

The call was answered quickly.

The old man's familiar yet urgent voice came from the other end.

"Isa, how's the situation?"

"I am fine."

Issa's voice carried a hint of weariness, but more than that, it was filled with undisguised joy.

"The plan is going smoothly. My strength has reached the peak of C-level, and I will soon be able to break through to B-level."
