Chapter 408: Chapter 378 “Mist Gate” Great Retreat! (9.2K, huge chapter!)_5 Chapter 408: Chapter 378 “Mist Gate” Great Retreat! (9.2K, huge chapter!)_5 Outside the dark curtain, due to a breach here, a group of C Level cultists broke through the encirclement, preparing to charge the retreating employees and leave more people on this battlefield.

“This dark curtain feels somewhat familiar, a bit like the one at Ao Island, and also reminds me of the night under ‘World Code-13’. Overall, it seems to be a pretty powerful artifact, but… is it coming for me?”

Colin stood on the edge of the cliff, his expression unchanging, as he vaguely sensed.

Some enemies hidden behind the scenes were forcing him down the mountain…

This mountain, in essence, was the remnants of a powerful and ancient being, and that C Level Personnel had said that he and the other had perished together, their consciousnesses melding…

It’s hard to say whether the other had left any tricks behind, waiting here for the ‘clean-up crew’ for so many years.

So it was normal for those guys not to dare to come up the mountain…

With this kind of intuitive sensing, the most rational decision obviously would be to give up and sacrifice a small number of people, to avoid accidents, since among those present, his “value” was undoubtedly the greatest.

But…

“Today, I’m going to take everyone with me, and I will see who dares to stop me!”

A fierce and magnificent blaze of fire rose from the edge of the cliff and then suddenly plummeted down, tearing apart everything that stood in its path on the way.

The very next moment, as if a meteor had struck the ground, Colin joined the battlefield!

Boom…

The land was smashed into a huge crater, the ground trembled incessantly, and within the explosive range of the flames, many bizarre shapes were burned to ashes…

And on the melting ground, Colin’s figure slowly emerged.

At this moment, above his head, the heart rose on its own, continuously spewing out flames, igniting everything around him.

Even the strange black mist was rapidly evaporating in the firelight.

Among them, some employees who had thought themselves doomed to die, their faces filled with despair, also saw a streak of firelight, like a hot knife through butter, melting away the black curtain that had rendered them helpless…

At the same time, everyone present could hear Brother Shunzi’s voice coming from afar.

“All personnel, retreat. I’ll cover the rear!”

Even as he spoke, after Colin had landed in the battlefield, besides feeling the gaze of the ‘False Mighty One’ receiving attention from both allies and enemies, garnering a great deal of acknowledgment, which rapidly increased his own strength,

he also sensed an array of powerful gazes that seemed to have been hidden for a long time, coming from all directions…

In Colin’s mind, three eerie figures dressed in torn rags and holding scythes emerged.

They seemed light and airy, as if they had existed in this area for a long time without showing themselves, and the aura they emitted was much stronger than that of the Divine Angels he had encountered before.

Their strength was at least at the level of a Level 2 Containment Subject…

Even without utilizing “Divine” powers, their combat prowess was still very formidable!

At the same time, behind Colin’s head, the heart spit out a streak of flame.

Invisible inspiration emerged…

“‘Bonfire Hunter’?”

Colin glanced at these beings and then at the ‘The Rat’ giving a speech, his chin lifted slightly, his eyes brimming with flames as he mocked:

“You know you can’t beat him, so you’re afraid to face him, and that’s why you’re trying to force me down with such a tactic?”

In response to his words, these beings did not reply, but ‘The Rat’ perched on a parasitized corpse opened its mouth, emitting an alluring whisper.

“You’re lucky, and very domineering, but in front of the Mother, it means nothing…”

“Everything returning to the ‘Red Moon’ Mother is a natural law, an unstoppable trend!”

“Now, if you can bring the ‘Primordial Fire’ will to submission, I can, on behalf of the Mother, grant you one outrageous request, which is…”

“To allow you to return to Her Nest as a special being, and then come forth as the Saint Heir…” (Note: 1)

“To become Her envoy in the world before Her full resurrection, receiving Her boundless indulgence and love…”

“In Her Nest, there will always be a place for you…”

“…”

‘Is something wrong with my ears to hear such blasphemy…’

Colin remained silent upon hearing these words, sensing the tone of “this is your honor” within the speech, and couldn’t help but think that the cultist was indeed mad…

Merely hearing the surface meaning of this speech was enough to give him goosebumps…

Immediately, with a “snap,”

Colin snapped his fingers, and the eerie whisper burnt away to nothing as the flame consumed it.

“It seems, you have rejected the Mother’s kindness…”

The unseen ‘The Rat’ made its last utterance.

No sooner had the words faded, the ground began to writhe as if it had come to life. As Colin was about to make his move, a ‘Bonfire Hunter’ floating in mid-air like a specter suddenly produced a bloody ear.

Then, using a dagger wrapped in talismanic script, it stabbed down.

The next second, all over Colin’s body, a multitude of wounds appeared, and from within them, eerie writings like maggots emerged, seemingly trying to envelop him…

“A curse? Damn it, was it you who secretly cut off one of my ears?”

Flames kept burning on Colin’s body, consuming the ‘writings’ to ashes.

Just then, the writhing ground, countless flying organs in the sky, various curses, and both visible and hidden attacks were approaching at the same time, seemingly eager to take Colin down quickly…

“That is… Brother Shunzi, be careful!”

Among the numerous assaults, the most shocking for everyone was the writhing and converging red light at the pinnacle of clouds turning into a tendril of flesh that hung from the heavens like an umbilical cord or a tentacle…

Upon it, a dreadful Red Light was gestating!
