Bizarre Realm-Chapter 97 - 28: Massacre! Death Cloud

"Master."

"The shadows are whispering." Knowledge was excited.

Shawn had not expected that forcibly triggering a flash of inspiration would cause him to lose so much rationality value, because he could hear Knowledge ’speaking’ again.

The enemy possesses a part of the Shadow Law.

The last time Knowledge was so proactive was when the Lady of the House lost control; it took Shawn two or three days to return to normal.

Previously, Dorne seemed relaxed on the outside but tense internally; now Dorne is tense both inside and out. Ever since the Lady of the House tore reality apart and opened a gap, the entire Night Watch Headquarters has been on high alert, because with reality broken, not only do disruptive lunatics arrive, but Bizarre Realm’s evil objects are also covetous.

Order itself is a protective barrier of the real world.

"The enemy used just one Fear Technique, and the entire Dorne City is now enveloped in an atmosphere of panic."

Today’s headline is very problematic.

Shawn didn’t know about the massive locust plague in the Del Region; the reporters in Dorne, however, knew beforehand.

They even covered it extensively and included photographs.

In this era of extremely slow information spread, it shouldn’t be possible for reporters to have better intel than us, right?

The only explanation is that there’s a problem with the newspaper!

"Hank has already taken people over there."

"The newspaper’s editor and reporters are all under control! By the looks of them, it seems like they are under Mind Suggestion and merely think they paid for a big scoop!"

Daisy brought back new news, whispering: "Ivan is already interrogating them."

"The headquarters has authorized the use of sealed object 82, Brain Extractor, to directly read memories!"

Shawn sharply sensed an anomaly.

Previously, although Night Watch Headquarters supported quickly, Death Pilgrims rarely appeared. But this time, not only did Death Pilgrims arrive immediately, even the headquarters psychologists were dispatched to quickly quell the turmoil.

Transcendents on the Mind Path are very rare.

An individual like Ivan, who is rationally stable and can act as a psychologist, is even rarer.

"Did something major happen?"

"Why were psychologists sent out?"

Previously, despite severe turmoil, the Wharf District was in constant battle, and yet headquarters never sent psychologists.

"Be careful."

"The enemy is a Transcendent on the Wizard Path." Shawn began to slowly descend in altitude but did not lift his invisibility status.

No one understands more than Wizards how powerful Wizards can be.

Gemma is helping with Hank.

Here, there’s only one caster; headquarters sent support in the form of a ranger and a hunter. The whereabouts of the Death Pilgrims are unknown; they are high-tier transcendents, always mysterious and elusive.

Benjamin slightly nodded and signaled the people around him to disperse.

To confront a Wizard.

Everyone’s distance can’t be too close; otherwise, a Fireball Technique could come over and directly blast a group away.

"The enemy is nearby." A hunter’s figure appeared on the roof.

Unlike other Transcendents on the Ranger Path, this hunter named Robert uses a crossbow and cold weapons; he is an expert in dual weapon combat. He basically doesn’t carry a gun because firearms would expose his whereabouts.

Shawn took off his confusion, standing on high to overlook everything around.

The Old Town District is densely populated; the enemy hiding here is difficult to search. Dorne City’s disparity is significant, with over five hundred thousand people scattered in the Old Town District and Lower City District. Whenever those madmen cause trouble, their primary target is certainly the densely populated area.

Suddenly.

Shawn saw a gray shadow blend into the crowd, seemingly intending to follow the flow of people into the Lower City District.

"Over there!" Shawn shouted.

Benjamin’s figure instantly disappeared from the original spot, the hunter named Robert followed closely behind, Daisy was a bit eager but remained by Shawn’s side, warily observing the surroundings.

Bam!

Just as the Night Watchers made a move, the nearby figure suddenly exploded, releasing a cloud of yellow-green mist.

He turned to look at them, displaying a brutally cruel smile.

—Death Cloud Technique!

No!

Mystic Knowledge is inspecting the spell. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Shawn’s inspiration flashed wildly at this moment; he almost unhesitatingly drew and fired his gun, but it was already a bit late; the enemy had long prepared the technique ahead of time.

A cloud of yellow-green toxic mist began to spread in all directions.

Amidst the exploding flesh.

A woman holding a child suddenly felt suffocated, then her entire body quickly swelled, before she exploded into a mess of shredded meat on the spot.

In the area centered around that monster, with a diameter of about twenty meters, a spreading yellow-green mist enveloped nearby pedestrians, causing them to collapse one after another. Some didn’t even have time to react before they fell, like wheat being cut down, ending up as swollen corpses strewn across the ground.

Instant Death Spell!

The yellow-green cloud instantly covered Benjamin and Robert. The two men’s faces changed slightly; Robert withdrew quickly, while Benjamin leaped into the toxic mist, thrusting his Flowing Light directly towards the enemy’s vital heart area.

The cloud continued to roll forward!

This was a sloped road leading from the Old Town District to the Lower City District. In the eyes of Shawn and others, Death Cloud Technique rolled onward toward the Lower City District, spreading out. Wherever the yellow-green mist reached, regardless of gender or age, all became instantly dead, touching them meant certain death.

The entire street was quickly littered with corpses!

Not only ordinary people on the street, but even weak Transcendents within the range of the Death Cloud Technique would be instantly killed, dying without reason.

"This is the harsh reality!"

"Without power, surviving in the Bizarre Realm is a luxury..."

The gray-robed man let out an eerie laugh, seemingly mocking the Night Watcher before him. Facing Benjamin’s incoming Flowing Light, he moved unhurriedly, disappearing on the spot and reappearing ten meters away.

——Shadow Black Tentacles.

In the spreading toxic cloud beneath Benjamin’s feet, the enemy summoned eerie black tentacles, each about four meters long, emerging as if surging from underground. They wrapped around everything within their range, using immense power to trap, then crush their enemies.

Classic Wizard Path tactics.

A wide-ranging Death Cloud Technique combined with binding black tentacles can easily annihilate a large group of targets. Not to mention the ordinary people present, even if a Night Watcher Squad were caught, more than half would suffer casualties, if not complete annihilation.

A promoted wizard isn’t something other Extraordinary Paths can compare to. When they go berserk, they can easily slaughter an entire town.

These emerging black tentacles possess very powerful strength, surpassing many Warriors in the Warrior Path. They cause blunt force damage to enemies in the area, spreading with a twelve-meter diameter, almost overlapping with the casting range of the Death Cloud Technique. (Each tentacle has a base strength of 19 points, surpassing Earth’s strongest man, capable of crushing William, who has 18 points of strength.)

"Damn it!"

Shawn stopped William, who wanted to rush in to help, and shouted angrily, "Go disperse the crowd!"

"I’ll help the captain!"

"Quickly go!"

"If the Death Cloud Technique spreads to the Lower City District, do you know how many people will die?"

The duration of the Death Cloud Technique is extremely long.

It lasts 1 minute per Extraordinary Level. Since the opponent can use it, it can last at least ten minutes or so, spreading from here to the Lower City District. In ten minutes, as the toxic cloud keeps spreading, who knows how many people will die.

Moreover, William’s strength is similar to Shawn’s, neither has fused a Second Stage Extraordinary Relic. If they enter the range of the Death Cloud Technique, they too will trigger the instant death effect.

If they endure it, they’ll be poisoned, with their Constitution heavily damaged; if not, they’ll drop dead on the spot!

This is an extermination-level spell.

It disregards any immunity, directly killing all targets below Extraordinary Level 4, regardless if they are ordinary people, monsters, or Transcendents, as long as they enter the range of the Death Cloud Technique, death is certain!

"Daisy!"

Shawn shouted out loud. Three Invisible Hands extended from his back. In an instant, Daisy understood Shawn’s intention. Her enchanting eyes turned into cold vertical pupils, fur and whiskers grew on the sides of her face, and her hands transformed into large feline-like claws. Then, her petite figure leapt onto Shawn’s back.

"Go!"

The three Invisible Hands grabbed Daisy. Shawn’s Invisible Hand was a Specialized Spell. With his increased power level, its power was comparable to the enemy’s summoned black tentacles. With the Invisible Hand’s power enhancing her, Daisy’s figure dashed out, as if a shadow streaking across mid-air, directly crossing twenty to thirty meters. Her gleaming claws flashed, aimed straight for the enemy’s head.

Facing the oncoming Daisy, the gray-robed man’s expression changed slightly. A Transcendent on the Wizard Path has a body much weaker than others. If Daisy gets close, he’s almost certainly doomed.

——Wall of a Thousand Hands.

As he summoned, countless pale arms emerged.

A dense mass of pale arms rose, exactly like those seen in the mirror in the Spirit Realm, as if a projection of some Spirit Realm creature. Hundreds of pale arms squeezed together, pulling frantically forward. The eerie whining echoed around, making everyone’s scalp prickly, like a burst of trypophobia.

But at this moment, Daisy seemed detached from human emotions, driven by the most primal wildness. She ignored the dense pale arms before her, her merciless claws slashing through the Wall of a Thousand Hands, leaving a ground full of severed limbs despite the tearing of countless hands.

Meanwhile, Benjamin swung his Flowing Light, slicing through the nearby black tentacles.

His complexion was slightly pale, having forcibly charged out of the Death Cloud Technique’s range. His Flowing Light traced through the air, its brilliant gleam slashing the Wall of a Thousand Hands to pieces.

"Daisy!"

Benjamin leaped, forcibly pushing Daisy out of the Wall of a Thousand Hands’ range.

With Benjamin’s assistance, Daisy roared, her petite frame unleashing a roar resembling that of a fierce tiger, disorienting everyone nearby and forcibly interrupting the enemy’s spell concentration. She lunged at the gray-robed wizard ahead, her ruthless claws shredding through flesh, practically disemboweling his entire chest cavity.

The wizard’s power and fragility were always intertwined!

Amidst the shredded ribs, Daisy agilely attacked, flipping and landing on the enemy’s back. Then, with blood gushing like a waterfall, Daisy forcibly twisted off a horrified human head.

Thud.

The headless body collapsed, leaving only Daisy’s blood-soaked silhouette standing firmly.
