Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 193: Chapter 91 Suppression_2

Its defining feature is that it materializes the fears of every human engulfed within it.

The strength of its existence, as long as it doesn’t exceed the upper limit, will nearly match the original.

Even if among those swallowed are those who fear a concept like hunger or plague, it would materialize abnormalities with corresponding abilities.

Except for not being able to materialize king-level powerhouses, it has almost no weaknesses. It’s terrifyingly despair-inducing...

Yang Chen had once witnessed a group of monsters, each currently beyond his match, clustering together; it was sheer hell.

What Li Yelai and Cheese encountered now, their ability was extremely similar to Disaster Fog No. 49.

This made both individuals, who had previously encountered the Disaster Fog, look grave.

”Don’t worry, this definitely isn’t the Disaster Fog. The Disaster Fog can’t enter Giant City,” Yang Chen whispered.

”I know,” a middle-aged man nodded. ”But hearing about similar abilities, I can’t help but feel uncontrollable fear... That’s why I joined the logistics department and dared not leave Giant City any longer; I chose to escape. And you... have not given up.”

Yang Chen didn’t respond but simply lit a cigarette, the smoke swirling as the burning tip flickered dimly and brightly.

...

On the other side, Li Yelai and Cheese received a proposal from the branch and thus continued their charge holding the Big Black Umbrella.

Their plan was to rescue the personnel previously trapped.

Seemingly sensing Li Yelai and Cheese’s hostility, the abnormality shaped even more fear-inducing monsters.

Aside from Li Yelai and Cheese, it also captured three employees and eight Scavengers, beginning to mold monsters from their memories.

Suddenly, a giant brown bear appeared, baring its teeth at Li Yelai; it was the fearsome beast a Scavenger once saw in the wilderness.

But in the next second, Cheese parted her cherry lips, and a Speech Spirit reduced the brown bear to halves.

Then a Black Stone Statue Ghost emerged; it seemed to be one of the Taboo Items Li Yelai had once encountered, but it was completely destroyed by a blast of hot melt.

These monsters, which stepped out from memory, were far from the original. Whether it was on the Spiritual Barrier or physical strength.

The abnormality seemed to have exhausted its power and didn’t continue producing monsters.

Not until Li Yelai and Cheese arrived outside the basement long in the cellar’s depths.

The abnormality launched its final defense, it was a horrific-looking red-skinned demon.

Its entire body was fiery red, its eyes pitch black with glowing red pupils.

It stood nearly three meters tall, its muscles bulging. Its blood-red bat wings spread wide, wielding a large sword, having an immensely intimidating presence.

This was... the monster Cheese witnessed during the last operation against a branch of the Ember Church.

A high-ranking official of the Church had lost control during the final resistance, turning into this type of monster, and then got stabbed to death by Yang Chen.

It seemed the earlier pause was accumulating power for this final trump card!

It roared as it emerged from the shadows, swinging its bulky arm horizontally, and its sword seemed poised to cleave them in two.

Spiritual Energy surged, much stronger than the earlier Chaos Egg.

Cheese’s complexion changed, she quickly backed away while opening her mouth, ”Speech Spirit·Flame Explosion!”

Li Yelai also retreated while aiming the Black Umbrella at the red-skinned demon to release a shot of hot melt!

But in the next second, both the Flame Explosion and hot melt were cut through.

The red-skinned demon, resilient against the attacks, charged out of the flames, swinging its sword once again at Li Yelai.

This was its final strategy, naturally aiming to achieve something significant!

Its priority was to kill Li Yelai, kill this peculiar human whose memories it could not fully probe!

Meanwhile, Li Yelai tossed aside the Black Umbrella and drew his long spear, halting his steps to start a counter-charge!

He activated his Third Spirit Ability, Mimicry·Abyss Dragon Scale!

Simultaneously, his left hand swiftly swiped across his cheek, activating Wanxiang Wumian!

Overlord Face, Heavy Eyes Appear!

Right hand thrusting the spear swiftly forward!

Single-handed Eighteen Strokes·Bee Swarm!

Instantly, the sharp slashing sound echoed across the manor!

Li Yelai and the red-skinned demon exchanged rapid slashes, instantly tearing through walls and the ground.

The demon’s strength was mighty, its blade movements fast. Even as Li Yelai used Single-handed Eighteen Strokes, he was still forced to retreat step by step due to its overpowering force.

Its power exceeded Li Yelai’s!

Meanwhile, Cheese, in a rare move, used Speech Spirit to strike both Li Yelai and the demon together.

This baffled the demon, but it had no time to investigate their memories for answers and instead attacked Li Yelai more fiercely.

This also caused Li Yelai’s Scale Armor to brighten significantly, golden lines flashing in the gaps of the armor.

In the next second, the demon seized a chance to kick heavily at Li Yelai’s chest, the massive force sent him flying, smashing against a wall meters away, the impact strong enough to break the wall and leave a person-shaped imprint.

Just as it was about to pursue, it heard Cheese’s voice.

”Listen to me, close your eyes! Heartbeat stops! Limbs stiffen!”

The consecutive activation of abilities drained Cheese’s face pale, blood seeping from her mouth and nose.

The demon sneered, as such powers had little effect on it; it only befuddled for a short moment before breaking free.

But when it opened its eyes again, it saw a giant Black Tiger, an embodiment hosted within the long spear!

Alarmed, the demon punched at the Black Tiger’s face, narrowly evading the sneak attack but once again had its speed dragged down.

Then, in the next moment, it saw Li Yelai’s glowing Scale Armor and the thrusting long spear!

His right hand quickly gathered the golden lines, channeling them into his long spear, thrusting with force.
