Chapter 770: Chapter 354 Heading to "Gallery

Upon seeing Old Mo nod, Lin Yi, despite not entirely understanding the peculiar expression Old Mo made afterwards, still realized his own analysis must be correct.

It was at this time that some noise arose not far behind him; it turned out to be the purebred Nocturnal species who had been hanging behind them all the way, finally crossing through the corridor and entering the hall of the Art Building, followed closely by the Sneering Angels whose bodies turned semi-transparent, defying the laws of physics.

Those Sneering Angels floated through the blood mist without any resistance, still pursuing Lin Yi and his companions. Meanwhile, the purebred Nocturnal species, sensing the presence of the Art Students, rushed towards them desperately like starving spirits barging into a feast, indifferent to everything else.

Lin Yi felt anxious and fretted for the Art Student nearby: "Not good, they are being attacked by the Nocturnal species!"

Old Mo grabbed him: "Don’t worry, just watch what happens next."

Sure enough, before the echo of Old Mo’s words had faded, the nearest purebred Nocturnal species to the Art Student had already reached out its slimy greyish hand towards him.

However, before it could touch the Art Student, the outstretched arm began to dry up at a visible rate, as if it had touched an invisible force field, transitioning from slimy to dry.

In the ongoing drying process, patches of dry, dead skin began to peel away from its body, and this desiccation spread even more aggressively across its entire body.

The entire spread took place in just a breath or two, and finally the body of the purebred Nocturnal species turned into a stiff, greyish-black sculpture.

Strangely enough, as its external "skin" peeled away, the greyish-black surface gradually turned to an ashy grey, then to a white as pure as mutton fat jade. However, this whiteness quickly faded away, and then the entire body began to disperse like the sands of the Gobi desert, rapidly disappearing into the blood mist...

This transformation was not unique to that one purebred Nocturnal species; the ’Matrix’ created by the Art Students acted as if it had a powerful predation ability, like a grinder that destroyed all purebred Nocturnal species within its killing range, turning their supernatural powers into a part of the blood mist, providing energy that they could manipulate to prevent the expansion of the breach.

However, the large amounts of mixed grey and black auras carried within the bodies of the purebred Nocturnal species also became a Contamination that the Art Students couldn’t digest. In the process of absorbing and transforming supernatural power, these auras continuously eroded their bodies, blurring the boundaries between them and the ’Obsession Sculptures’ more and more.

[Howl——]

Within the blood mist, the sinister laughter of the Sneering Angels rose; they flew not by wings but by other means. Their wings were always held in the folded position behind them, yet they floated quite agilely. They fixed their gaze on Lin Yi and Old Mo’s location, slowly flying over.

However, just as they passed a dark corner, the ’Obsession Angels’ that were almost completely still suddenly thrust their pale, ashen-grey hands out of the darkness with lightning speed.

「Swoosh——」

Like a hand that suddenly reaches out from the bars of a dark prison cell, not even the ghostly speed of the Sneering Angels could avoid their attack.

’Hiss——’

When the ’Obsession Sculpture’ reached for the Sneering Angels, not surprisingly, its hand passed through them like air. However, the next moment, a cold golden light shimmered in the ’Obsession Sculpture’s hand, and with that light’s appearance, the ’Obsession Sculpture’ easily grasped the ankle of the Sneering Angel.

[Howl???]

The Sneering Angels instinctively froze, a trace of confusion appearing on their petrified smiling faces. But before they could react, the ’Obsession Sculpture’ forcefully pulled them entirely into the dark corner...

Many Sneering Angels near that dark corner did not escape the ’Obsession Sculpture’s attack, while the remaining ones instinctively kept away from the corner.

However, similar scenes unfolded when they approached the murals.

The flesh crawling on the murals also seemed to start hunting the Sneering Angels as if they were Venus flytraps ready to feed.

Having witnessed the ’Obsession Sculpture’ and the murals taking action against the Sneering Angels, Lin Yi involuntarily took a deep breath: "I didn’t expect that the ’Obsession Sculpture’ wasn’t just to combat the Sneering Angels, but could directly kill them..."

"The ’Obsession Sculpture’ is one thing, but these murals... How can they also be so terrifying?"

He felt a chill down his spine, thinking back to how close he had been to the murals just a moment ago, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of fear, worried that he too would inadvertently become the murals’ prey.

He shifted his gaze and followed Old Mo around ’Life towards Death’, approaching the front of the spiral stairs.

Despite the limited time, he couldn’t help but observe ’Life towards Death’. The Art Building Hall, shrouded in blood mist, and the World Tree within ’Life towards Death’ encapsulated both the traits of growth and destruction, as if frozen in time.
