The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 711 - 393 Bugtanbul

Within the area covered by the array in Yongyuan Village.

In a rather secluded forest.

A shadow was hiding here.

"Didn't expect this, you damned slaves."

The shadow let out a sharp laugh, filled with the joy of gaining freedom.

Without a doubt, this shadow was the source of the chaos in the town, having escaped from the Black Tower earlier.

After venting for a bit, the shadow reformed into a human shape.

Walking towards the edge of the array.

The shadow on its body formed a gigantic claw, starting to stroke the edge.

"Impressive structure... It seems if I want to leave here, I must destroy the core.

Have I been asleep for so long that I can't think straight?"

He muttered to himself, somewhat annoyed at his own impulsiveness when escaping.

He should have destroyed the sealed item he was hiding first.

And at this moment, beneath the Black Tower.

The Tower Master brought Kana and others here.

Below the Black Tower, there was an enormous space.

A huge, seven to eight meters tall diamond-shaped crystal stone was gently floating at the center.

In this diamond-shaped crystal, everyone could see the entity sealed inside through the transparent structure.

Undoubtedly, it was a demon from the Abyss.

This demon had an extremely robust upper body, with a pair of incredibly exaggerated claws, connected by limbs resembling black mist.

The strange single eye on its head was tightly shut, with nine sharp horns stretching backward from the top.

The lower body floated like tattered cloth, like a ghost.

"What kind of demon is this?" Bobo wondered aloud.

Even she had never seen such a demon in illustrations.

Limoanna softly said, "Nightmare Demon, a kind of demon capable of easily entering the Spiritual World and invading dreams.

It can easily commit wicked acts in sleep. Even when invading other worlds, it often exists in spirit and illusion."

The Tower Master stood beside the crystal and spoke.

"This is the core of the array shielding the entire Yongyuan Village, maintained by the power of this demon."

The Prophet beside him also said, "Only with the demon's power can the evil magic power be gathered in this area.

At the same time, using the properties of the Nightmare Demon, it constructs an illusory barrier for deception.

The power of this demon is sufficient to maintain this small region, allowing us to survive here."

And various runic constructions floated beside this crystal, which Bobo had already started studying there.

It's undeniable that it was easy to find some similar constructions to the Soul Hunter's array within these runes.

They possessed a suppressive function.

And what it suppressed was the evil will of the demon bloodline within the Half-Demon.

It can even be said that every Half-Demon has a risk of mental splitting, and the split consciousness would definitely tend toward the demon.

Without the suppression of this array, Half-Demons would inevitably be guided by their bloodline to naturally move toward evil.

"Do you have any judgments about that shadow from last night's chaos?" Alicia asked.

No matter what, that shadow is like a ticking time bomb, likely to bring about bad consequences at any time.

However, the three present shook their heads.

The Tower Master said, "The records passed down do not mention the existence of this shadow, and the soul consciousness of the Nightmare Demon remains in a stable sealed state."

"But the records do confirm that the shadow emerged from this crystal. We don't even know what caused such a result."

At this point, Kana directly explained, "No need to overthink; the shadow is undoubtedly the demon mage from a thousand years ago who enslaved your ancestors—Bugtanbul."

Facing everyone's gaze, Kana calmly said, "As a legendary figure deeply researched in the Abyss, he is not easily eliminated.

In an environment extremely unfavorable to him, betrayed by his own slaves, he still found a way to escape.

We don't know the specifics, but he should have, through some unknown ability, hidden within the summoned Nightmare Demon.

By absorbing the Nightmare Demon's spiritual energy to maintain his existence, yesterday's shadow form was proof.

It shows that in the battle with your ancestors, he also suffered extreme damage, which he hasn't recovered from even after lying dormant for a thousand years."

Honestly, Kana guessed he might have been sealed along with the Nightmare Demon.

So he was merely alive, just more free compared to the Nightmare Demon; when his thoughts were reawakened and shaken from the sealed slumber, he could find the opportunity to break free.

"And his ability to break this seal and emerge now is undoubtedly the handiwork of the Evil God.

Just escaped, he couldn't cause such a strong energy wave to impact, causing all the Half-Demons to be caught in the turmoil."

Kana thought that the Demon Mage might have already contacted the Evil God and started preparing for trouble.

After all, a thousand years ago, the Demon Mage was surely an important general under the Evil God's command.

"Has the Evil God become so active?" Limoanna asked in confusion.

Kana looked at the others and slightly nodded. He briefly explained the current situation outside and why they couldn't stand aside.

"So, in this situation, if you don't make a change, don't respond, you'll inevitably be influenced by the demon bloodline within you to gravitate toward the Evil God's camp."

After listening to Kana's explanation, the three furrowed their brows tightly.

The problem was there were already many places proving what Kana said was true.

But the issue is, they can't verify it themselves because they can't stray too far from here.

They could only choose to believe Kana.

"Bugtanbul is mostly still trapped within the array; in such circumstances, our time is limited.

I'll just say it straight."

Without waiting for questions from the others, he continued, "Regarding your current situation, we have two solutions.

The first option is quite simple: join the Night Watcher and swear an oath, accepting the world's blessing.

Thus, even with demon blood within you, the world will acknowledge it, and you won't be rejected by the world.

The blessing will strengthen your body and spirit, making it hard for the demon blood to influence you, and the Night Watcher will assist you until the bloodline's influence is completely removed.

This is the best choice."

This is not actually difficult; the Soul Hunter's data is in the Library.

It just requires some time to dissect and adapt.

"The second option, not joining the Night Watcher, due to preempting crises. The Night Watcher will still assist you in suppressing the demon bloodline's consciousness within you.

As the barrier outside gets destroyed, the world's rejection gradually diminishes until it disappears. But at that time, it will also be the peak of the war, and you'll be transformed into demons in an instant.

Though you should be able to go farther away temporarily, it won't be fundamentally different from before. Of course, you can also update and change such techniques.

Until the issues within you are resolved, but during this time you'd better not go outside, because the outside is constantly under the watch of the Evil God's power.

It could easily lead to problems like those of last night."
