My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

The entrance to the Dark Realm.

At this moment, the border of the Black Realm has long since been transformed into a living hell.

From the thick, dark fog, almost every second, a large number of feathered warriors emerged, surging towards the border region like a tidal wave.

Of the 12 towns along the Black Border, the five closest to each other have been completely reduced to ashes in the flying debris.

The area around Moonlit City, however, remained miraculously unharmed.

At this very moment, above the entrance to the Dark Realm.

Two figures were suspended in mid-air, looking down at the devastated scene below.

One of them was a girl with long, dark purple hair.

She wore a tattered black robe, her face delicate yet exuding an indescribable chill.

What's most striking is the pattern on her pupils, which is made up of two purple cross marks.

At this moment, her entire body was gripped in the palm of a small, illusory demonic claw, and her originally fair calves were covered with twisted, blackish-purple handprints.

It was none other than the Feathered One who had casually shattered the mountain with a single slap, the third-ranked on the kill list, and the one who had passed by the Terror Knight.

A genuine Tier 6 Feather King.

And the other one—

He was a black-haired man with a spiky hairstyle.

He was a full two meters tall, but his figure and physique were rather thin.

In stark contrast, he carried a massive, twenty-foot-long machete on his shoulder, its blade broad and as heavy as a mountain. Just standing there, he exuded an aura of power that seemed capable of cleaving mountains in two.

Fifth on the kill list.

—A 7th-tier Slaughtering Feathered Warrior, passing through the Great Decapitation Execution Grounds

After surveying the devastated border of the Black Realm, the black-haired man shouted to the endless stream of Feathered Warriors below:

"Avoid that town in that direction."

He held the knife in one hand and casually pointed it in the direction of Moonlit City.

"There are experts over there; leave them to us."

"Go anywhere else you like."

Upon hearing this, the feathered warriors below, who were surging out frantically, immediately changed direction and dispersed in other directions like a tide, becoming strangely obedient.

It's important to understand that the role of a superhuman in the killing system is not that of a battle maniac.

No one in this world, except for idiots, truly enjoys a battle where the odds are evenly matched.

They simply want to find weak and newbies to gain experience.

I wouldn't go to Moonlit City and clash head-on with the experts from the Night Patrol Headquarters.

Unfortunately, once the killing system reaches level 7, it is no longer possible to gain experience by hunting ordinary humans. Even the experience gained at levels 9 and 8 will be diluted to almost nothing.

Therefore, all the superhumans at level 7 and above in the killing system are butchers who have killed a large number of superhumans of the same level.

Under the watchful eyes of two high-level Winged Ones in the sky, a large number of ordinary Winged Ones spread to various routes almost instantly.

What's truly terrifying is—

The movement speed of the Kill Sequence's superhumans is indeed ridiculously fast.

Even the lowest-ranking 9th-level Feathered Warrior has a speed approaching 50 kilometers per hour.

If we travel at this speed without sleep...

I'm afraid we'll catch up with those residents who are fleeing the famine in just two or three days.

Just then.

Noticing that the purple-haired girl had remained silent throughout, the black-haired man turned to look at her with some confusion.

"what happened?"

The girl tilted her head slightly.

Those purple, cross-shaped pupils were lowered, looking in a certain direction, and her tone sounded somewhat surprised.

"Just now, apart from the area around Moonlit City..."

"Another 10% of the attacks were blocked."

"It's something that's slightly on my mind..."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is that the direction where that 9th-tier Feathered Warrior in Kill Mode is?"

"I noticed that too..."

“That guy was active outside the Black World from the beginning, so he probably wasn’t born inside the Black World.”

Almost all the humans born in the dark underworld over the past century have been followers of the Caged Bird Theory.

But it's hard to say about what happens to outsiders.

Perhaps it really is a descendant of some legendary figure who once fought with caged birds.

Become a Feathered One by shedding feathers, which are like spoils of war.

That is--

enemy!!!

The purple-haired girl nodded, agreeing with the other person's point of view.

"So, are you going to kill me?" The man slowly narrowed his eyes, wondering where a level 9 Feathered Warrior got the audacity to provoke him like this.

"There's nothing I can do; my sequencing abilities can't reach that distance..."

The girl shook her head helplessly.

Since the large-scale attack just now failed to kill the opponent, repeating it again would be futile.

It will only be a waste of energy.

"Then let me do it—"

The black-haired man took the initiative to put his arm around her.

The words fell.

He slowly extended his hand.

Then, he put two fingers together and made a strange aiming motion in the direction indicated by the blood-red radar.

The next second...

"Crackling, crackling"

Accompanied by a thunderous, arc-like sound of electricity.

A blindingly bright golden lightning bolt suddenly condensed at his fingertips.

The light was so dazzling that it illuminated the entire entrance area of ​​the Black Realm in an instant, and even the man's black hair was instantly dyed golden, with crackling electric arcs constantly flashing all over his body.

"BOOM!!!!!"

There was no power buildup.

There is no pre-animation.

A lightning bolt, as sharp as a flash, instantly pierced through the entire night!

The area within a thousand miles was transformed into daylight in an instant.

The shockwave from the recoil alone sent more than a dozen feathered warriors who hadn't gone far below flying, tumbling to the ground, dazed and confused.

That's right.

Although this man's kill sequence was only at the 7th level of decapitation.

But his other sequence...

It was none other than a Natural Rank 6 Thunderclap!

Diana, the prerequisite route for Flash!

In an instant.

The five people guarding the walls of Moonlit City all witnessed that terrifying attack that stretched across the sky.

Golden light pierced through the clouds, like a rift tearing through the sky, shooting out suddenly from the distant entrance to the Black Realm and disappearing in an instant.

The five people looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

It's unclear who this attack was aimed at.

Adele's eyes narrowed slightly.

Looking at the direction where the lightning would strike, a very ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

..

at the same time.

With Oliver having calmed the horses down, the Selenes family caravan was preparing to set off again.

Just then—

"boom!!!!"

A blindingly bright light suddenly streaked across the night sky.

The entire sky seemed to have been blasted apart by a flashbang, turning into a blinding white in an instant.

Everyone who instinctively looked up at the sky was blinded by the light.

In an instant, Aunt Bai in the carriage suddenly raised her head, as if she had sensed something, and her pupils contracted sharply.

“Ves…s!!!”

Aunt Bai spoke up anxiously, wanting to remind her.

but--

She didn't even have time to utter the second word.

Even with Aunt Bai's reminder, Weiss still didn't quite catch on.

Because the shockwave from that attack was incredibly fast.

It's happening so fast it's almost desperate.

When that extremely fast aura pierced through the sensory wind field that covered hundreds of meters around Weiss, it arrived in front of him almost in the same instant, as if it were teleportation.

His brain hadn't even received the neural reflex that the wind field had been invaded.

The laser beam, carrying the magnetic field of a thunderous electromagnetic storm, had already pierced through the entire side of the carriage, and the explosive light almost blinded Weiss and Aunt Bai.

"Those who go against the tide!!!"

At the critical moment, Weiss activated his absolute defense.

As the full-power, frozen moment unfolded, his mental processes were elevated to their peak.

Everything in sight slowed down.

The dust floating in the air seemed to solidify, and even the shockwaves generated by the ray resembled honey slowly flowing from a jar.

but--

His naked eye still couldn't detect the speed of the ray.

Only the surrounding, flowing wind field can be used to barely judge the approaching end based on the progress of the tearing apart.

The electromagnetic ray was still as fast as a teleporting beam of death, violently piercing through his proud absolute defenses, even peeling away the layers of air pixels that the retrograde man had frozen in place.

Finally, after the rays tore apart all of Weiss's wind rings, the last layer of wind armor, formed by the one who went against the flow, was revealed.

It shattered instantly upon contact, vaporizing completely!

"We're doomed..."

Weiss helplessly watched as the ray pierced through his last barrier.
