I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

This guy's body is liquid?!

“Savor it, you fools, this is the power we survivors of the forbidden land possess.”

The liquefied body dissolved in the next moment, merging into the black mud ground. Then, countless streams of black mud violently transformed into sharp spikes, hurtling towards Li Cheng in the center. The surging black mud resembled a gigantic, dyed tsunami. Li Cheng, situated within it, was like a small boat on an isolated island, on the verge of being submerged and shattered.

"If it weren't for the ability of gaps, I probably would have already been submerged, right?"

Appearing above the Black Mud Sea in the next moment, Li Cheng spoke with lingering fear.

Although it's unknown how the other party did it, the entire black ocean in this space is likely a component of Carter's body. While it's unclear how, approaching now is probably not a good idea.

and……

What's wrong? Why do I feel... a little dizzy?

"Let us perish here!"

The churning black mud transformed into a gigantic head, howling as it surged into the air, its mouth agape as it tried to swallow Li Cheng whole.

With an attack of that speed and range, simply dodging isn't a solution.

Li Cheng still only had a superficial understanding of the power he possessed. Although he had been exploring methods and techniques for using it and had sought guidance, his progress had not been significant. Nevertheless, he had still gleaned some insights, but due to personal habits developed in past battles, he had not been able to effectively utilize these powers.

If it's about dealing with an enemy that brute force can't handle...

"In that case, let's have a proper fight."

Stopping his dodging stance, Li Cheng stood in mid-air, letting the enormous head reach him and swallow him whole, followed by an incredibly violent explosion.

As if repelled by something, the black mud scattered at a faster speed than when it had gathered, propelled far away by an invisible force. All the black mud that had enveloped Li Cheng flew far away, leaving Li Cheng unharmed, still standing in the same spot.

"Attraction and repulsion are extremely common phenomena in the universe. Therefore, for every strong attraction, there will be a correspondingly strong repulsion. Although I'm not entirely certain, that's roughly how it works, isn't it?"

Muttering to himself, Li Cheng looked down at the surging sea of ​​black mud beneath his feet. After a moment's thought, he reached out and slowly channeled his demonic power outwards.

"Then, the opposition between cold and hot can also be reflected in this, right?"

A chilling light erupted from his hand, shooting in a straight line towards the churning black ocean beneath his feet. The next instant, extreme ice froze the entire black ocean, and wisps of frigid air rose from it.

A low howl echoed continuously beneath the sealed ice, and cracks appeared on it, widening as if about to break free.

"Hmm, with my current strength, trapping such a large area is indeed too difficult, isn't it?"

He reached out again, sensing the icy ice emanating from the ground within his consciousness. The next moment, the ice twisted and changed, and with the release of demonic power, the ice that had been clinging to the black mud transformed into blazing fire.

"Ahhhh!"

Amidst piercing screams, the black mud churned and twisted violently, trying to extinguish the raging fire. But under Li Cheng's control, it was utterly futile. Pitch-black smoke gradually dissipated, emitting a foul odor. Li Cheng frowned, slightly shifting his position, and was about to further intensify the flames when a sudden wave of dizziness washed over him.

"Ugh, what's going on?"

My vision blurred, my scalp tingled, and my body went limp. If I hadn't been alerted immediately, I might have lost control of my body and fallen straight down.

What happened? Why does it feel so strange?

With a forced concentration, he turned his gaze to the source of the strange sensation. It was on his shoulder, a small, inconspicuous patch of black mud emitting a faint black aura.

Is this thing actually cursed and has negative effects?

As he raised his hand to wipe away the clump of black mud, the churning mud beneath his feet suddenly surged up, releasing an astonishingly large cloud of black mist that almost completely enveloped Li Cheng's location. He tried to move left and right to dodge, but due to the extreme weakening of his senses, he could hardly control his body and was instantly engulfed by the black mud.

An endless sea of ​​black mud surged in, rapidly increasing the thickness of the black mud sphere enveloping Li Cheng. In just two or three minutes, the massive amount of black mud had all transformed into an enormous mud sphere, which began to continuously compress and release black mist.

The sheer size of the volume creates a pressure that would be unbearable even for a superhuman physique. Add to that the black gas that suppresses the mind and affects the senses, and anyone trapped inside would likely be reduced to a pile of minced meat within minutes, their body also stained the same black mud.

Almost simultaneously with the formation of the black mud ball, a small crack quietly opened at the edge of the ball, and Li Cheng's body stumbled out of it, flicking the black mud off his body.

"It's actually a curse that affects one's senses. If it weren't for the power of the Gap, I probably would have been dead just now."

Looking at the huge black mud ball in front of him with lingering fear, Li Cheng turned his gaze to look below him, and his expression immediately turned to surprise.

Below him, the area that was originally covered by black mud revealed, after all the black mud had gathered, a dilapidated and collapsed city.

Why does this place, this feeling, feel so familiar? Could it be that I've seen this place before?

So desolate, lifeless, devoid of any sense of being alive, it was as if everything had died...

"See that? Haha, this apocalyptic scene, the end of the world that we, the surviving forbidden ones, are trying our best to avoid."

On the black mud, Carter's figure was offered up once more.

“All of this is no longer our concern, but she is alive here. She cannot face the same fate as last time. Therefore, I must not stand by again, and I must not let regret come again.”

Seemingly insane, Carter, whose entire body was covered in black mud, raised his head, and muddy water kept flowing down his face, which was submerged in black mud.

"Ah, no, absolutely no one can take her away from me again. Remilia belongs to me alone, and anyone who dares to take her away must face destruction!"

With heart-wrenching screams, the black mud sea transformed into countless ferocious mud beasts, swiftly lunging towards Li Cheng.

"You idiot, have you been soaked in that mud until you've gone mad?"

Standing beside the still-open gap, Li Cheng reached out and channeled his demonic power, preparing to inflict another heavy blow on his opponent, but suddenly paused and looked to his side.

From the gap beside him, which was not yet closed, a small hand reached out and grabbed his arm.

Remilia Scarlett, who was weakened by excessive exertion during the initial battle and was thrown into the gap by Li Cheng, has somehow regained consciousness. She leans out of the gap and grabs Li Cheng's arm.

"I'll take care of this guy!"

Beneath crimson pupils, the young-looking blue-haired girl spoke with unwavering determination.

Chapter 31, Section 172: The Red Moon of the End

Staring at the enormous black mud ball, Remilia grabbed Li Cheng's arm and flew out through the gap he had opened, stopping in front of Li Cheng, facing the surging sea of ​​mud.

Ah, finally, the time has come to face it all and put an end to everything.

Everything seemed like it was just yesterday, in her earliest memories, in a time of great antiquity, before humanity had risen to power. The Scarlett family castle was nestled in a desolate forest, and she and her younger sister, still young at the time, were the apple of the family's eye, living a life of princess-like bliss.

Until... the arrival of that person shattered all her beautiful dreams.

Inside the castle destroyed by fire, she and her sister hid in a closet in a room, listening to the roars of their loved ones outside and their dying cries.

Then, the person opened the wardrobe door, stood in front of her, and wore a strange and satisfied smile.

"My little princess, I've finally found you. This time, I won't let anyone take you away from me again."

Those passionate words, spoken as if to a lover, only evoked a chilling feeling in her.

"Kill all the others, leave no one alive. But let's keep these two for now. The power and bloodline of the ancient vampires are worth studying; they will be excellent materials."

The days that followed, in that underground research institute, until she finally awakened her powers and escaped with her sister, became a lifelong nightmare for her.

"Remilia, my Remi, there is no one in this world who loves you more than I do. No one, absolutely no one. Only I truly love you, and only I can truly possess you."

Expressing his almost fanatical love, Carter plunged the sanctified silver dagger in his hand into her skin, slowly slicing her body open, cutting away her flesh piece by piece.

Then, listening to her uncontrollable sobs and wails, he gently cut off a small piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and finally swallowed it, feeling the flesh slide into his stomach and into his body. Then, he laughed again, uncontrollably, almost moved to tears.

"Ah, yes, this is her flesh and blood, this taste that I will never forget, it is the taste that belongs only to me, the taste of Remilia!"

Yes, that's right, she belongs to me, she belongs to me. Her breath is mine, her blood is mine, and her will is mine as well.

From the black mud sea, a crooked arm grew out, reaching forward, howling and twisting, stretching towards Remilia in the sky.

"You are mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine..."

Ah, so familiar, a nightmare that lasted for nearly a century...

Close your eyes, and you see memories that have long since faded away—memories that have been dissected countless times, memories that have been hurt countless times, memories that have been tormented countless times, and memories of her beside you, memories of your mind being gradually destroyed.

"I will never forgive you. For Scarlett's pride, for Father and Mother, for... Fran, this time, I will utterly annihilate you!"

Black wings unfurled across the sky, and after the crimson, gleaming pupils appeared, the entire sky was rapidly obscured by dark clouds, turning into the deepest night.

The next moment, the red moon descended from the sky.

Endless crimson light, like burning flames, descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the enormous black mud sphere with unparalleled force. At that moment, the sky was filled with countless red meteors, their scorching rays continuously striking the mud sea, relentlessly reducing the amount of black mud.

"Remilia! Ahh ...

Carter howled like a vengeful ghost, and the black mud sea defied gravity, surging towards Remilia. Remilia frowned, but continued to unleash the relentless attacks of the red light, making no move to dodge. Just as the mud sea was about to engulf her, a black rift flashed past her side, carrying her away with it, causing the mud sea to miss its target.

"They're already right in front of you, why aren't you moving away? These things have strong negative magic, getting tainted by them would be terrible."

Holding Remilia in his arms, Li Cheng appeared in another part of this space. Looking at the black mud sea that was now completely suspended in mid-air not far away, he was somewhat amazed by the unscientific nature of this thing.

"Ugh, let me go, you rude human!"

Remilia struggled and kicked her legs in protest, but because she was focusing most of her energy on controlling the red light in the sky, she could not muster any strength and could not break free from Li Cheng's embrace.

I have a feeling that the way this child struggles is a bit like how Shio sometimes acts when she's playing outside and doesn't want to go home, and I grab her and lift her up. It's just that Remilia's struggles are much weaker than Shio's, her cries are much louder, and her expressions are much more varied.

However, Li Cheng was absolutely certain that tide Meng from his family was not among them.

"Give her back to me!"

Within the black mud, Kalter howled mournfully, and the endless black mud transformed into a torrential downpour, sweeping towards Li Cheng's location. Even from a considerable distance, Li Cheng could clearly sense the intense aura of resentment contained within the black mud.

Getting hit by this thing would probably be quite unpleasant.

The demonic power silently flowed into his body. Li Cheng carried the petite Remilia and flew at high speed through the air, like a swallow, moving forward through the raging black rain without getting a speck of black mud on him.

Li Cheng had never learned or experienced this kind of flying maneuver to evade wide-range attacks. However, he was surprisingly proficient in it, as if such large-scale, dense attacks were quite common.

Is it from tide's memory that hasn't been fully unlocked yet?

Indeed, this sudden sense of familiarity felt like facing attacks a thousand or ten thousand times more intense than this before—so familiar it was unforgettable. However, compared to this stinking black mud, the attacks I remembered were usually far more dazzling and beautiful.
