Sain Dungeon, in front of Stoneveil City.

"Faded one..."

The Omen Demon’s raspy and murderous voice echoed, chilling everyone who heard it.

On the opposite side, Uffie and her team were filled with fighting spirit; it had been a while since they’d heard that voice.

Today, they must make him sound his defeat!

The three of them struck a battle-ready pose; at first glance, they looked like some sort of elite squad, and the battle was about to explode.

Uffie also considered whether to gather more people to fight the Omen Demon.

She thought about dragging her two apprentices who were still resting in the recovery center or asking Lanle for some knights.

However, she realized that the strength of the Monsters within the Sain Dungeon would change according to the adventurer’s ability.

Moreover, the battle against the Omen Demon was taking place on a bridge that appeared wide but in reality wasn’t spacious when the fight became heated. More participants could lead to crowding.

This means the more participants, the lower the chance of victory.

Bringing Fanen and his crew was the maximum Uffie could accept, and they weren’t a burden, each having their own strengths.

At this moment, the Fog Gate flashed, and Tepi finally arrived. As soon as he entered, he flipped off the cloak wrapped around him, revealing a peculiar style of clothing.

"As the oldest here after all..."

Tepi quipped and then charged towards the Omen Demon, his clothing looked particularly unusual, and upon closer inspection, fragments of the Enemy Attraction Skull were dangling from him, among other noticeable items.

His appearance instantly captured everyone’s attention. People’s gazes naturally focused on him, the Omen Demon included, who raised his staff to strike at him directly.

This wasn’t the Enemy Attraction Skull taking effect; it was purely because of his flamboyant outfit, making him an unavoidable target.

"To make me the bait, how could this be—"

He didn’t even have time to finish his sentence; his body instinctively reacted to the seemingly straightforward strike from the staff, dodging to the side.

"Boom!"

The staff missed, and Tepi closed the distance with the Omen Demon. He pulled out a weapon, preparing to attack, while Uffie and others behind him were also on the move, ready to launch an all-out attack.

So, to quickly eliminate the enemy in front, the Omen Demon used a quick slash!

A dazzling golden light flashed, and a longsword formed from golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing at Tepi with a speed beyond a human’s reaction.

Tepi tensed his entire body at that moment; he had trained hard for just this moment. His feint was immediately canceled, and he drifted backward, dodging the enemy’s edge by a margin of centimeters!

He, he dodged—

"Bang!"

Tepi’s heel tripped over the scattered stones due to the Omen Demon’s attack, his balance already unsteady from dodging, and he fell to the ground, even rolling over a few times.

The smile froze on his face.

Dodging the attack was challenging enough; who had the mind to notice the surrounding environment!

"Well done, I’m proud of you!"

Uffie swiftly passed by his side, the tip of her spear hooked onto his clothing, pulling him up as she moved forward, swinging her spear horizontally. Sparks exploded, the Omen Demon’s staff, carrying substantial force, collided heavily with her spear!

Uffie’s feet etched long grooves in the stone!

Her arm muscles bulged suddenly, and the enormous force visibly rebounded, instantly deflecting the staff.

The Omen Demon quickly regained control of his staff, and facing Uffie’s relentless approach, he chose to swing the staff with a horizontal sweep followed by a back jump. But at that moment, his tail was unexpectedly grabbed by a substantial force, failing his jump, forcing a quick lateral dodge.

In that instant, Uffie managed to stab a hole through his shoulder with the spear tip! But astonishingly, what came out wasn’t blood but faint light points.

Adventurers usually see such things in man-made Phantoms.

The Omen Demon grabbed the spear with his giant hand, attempting to seize it, and looked back to see that the one hindering his jump was a Wolfman, a size or two larger than the average person—it was Fanen!

Where did the wolf come from? Only Tepi was surprised on the scene.

"Hmph."

At that timely moment, the Omen Demon released the long spear, spun his body with a motion too quick to cover, and even Fanen’s great strength couldn’t stop this spin, instead, Fanen was flung away nearly off the cliff.

Yet, when he grabbed the edge and climbed back onto the bridge, he saw the Omen Demon leaping high, a giant hammer formed from golden light in hand, glistening under the Sun, his emaciated body coated in a layer of gold, looking like a Heavenly God.

If this hammer were to strike down... the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Bang!"

The lifeline-like gunshot finally rang out.

The Omen Demon’s action barely changed after the first shot, but as the shots continued, a Mercury Bullet finally hit the relatively vulnerable part of his body, disrupting his motion immediately.
