FAZER LOGINThe old-fashioned kerosene lantern gave off rings of warm yellow light.Anne stood at the center of that halo and regarded Jake coolly, "We meet again."'Anne...' Looking at the black-robed girl before him, Jake didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.After a brief moment of surprise, he looked at her, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his lips, "You've finally come looking for me."Jake's tone was certain, as if he'd been waiting for an old friend who was running late.A barely perceptible flicker of surprise crossed Anne's eyes, "You knew I would come find you?""Of course."Jake smiled, "Actually, ever since the afternoon before last, when I went to your place looking for the two of you, I knew this moment would come sooner or later."He held up the Pale Eye in his hand and said calmly, "That was when I saw you with this. You were standing on top of the clock tower across from the apartment, watching me from hundreds of yards away. Right?"Anne didn't say a wo
That being had to be far more than a mere Tier 7.In an instant, Jake had figured it all out.'There's definitely something wrong with that Sacred Tree. Even if it isn't that powerful being's true body, it's definitely connected to it...'Jake glanced at "Ryan" and "Evelyn," who were rapidly absorbing the remaining mist around them in an attempt to regenerate again.As long as the mist didn't disperse, these demons were immortal.If he wanted to leave the town, he'd have to carry out the second plan: blowing up the Sacred Tree.But tonight's probe had been enough.He'd finished gathering intel, and he had barely any Mind left. If he kept fighting, he might end up dying here himself.'Time to pull out.'Jake made the call on the spot.He raised his left hand and reached for the monocle over his left eye, ready to activate Mirror Leap and teleport straight back to the safehouse.As long as there was any reflective object within a little over half a mile (glass, a puddle, even
Jake roared, and an ancient, desolate aura of boundless majesty erupted from his body.With Jake at the center, the surrounding space instantly froze solid.Then, in the void behind him, a giant phantom slowly took shape.It was a colossal, pale eyeball, closed tight.It hovered above the mist like an ancient deity, gazing down on the ants below.This was one of the Pale Eye's special effects: Divine Majesty!"Open your eye!"At Jake's command, the giant pale eyeball in the void slowly opened.It was an eye with no pupil, only a deathly, pallid white.The moment it opened, every color between heaven and earth seemed to drain away, leaving only a monotonous pale white.An indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly blanketed the entire block.[Divine Majesty Effect: Any creature gazed upon by the Pale Eye will suffer severe mental contamination and a drastic loss of Sanity. Those who meet its gaze directly suffer double contamination.]In that moment, Jake's Pale Eye collid
The Tree Fiends could regenerate, but against this unreasonable "human artillery platform" and these "zombie bombs," they couldn't close the distance for the moment.However, just as Jake was getting into the thick of the slaughter, a strange pulse suddenly rippled out from deep within the mist.It made no sound at all, yet it made Jake's heart skip a beat.The Tree Fiends that had been attacking so furiously all stopped at once, as if they'd received some kind of command.They stopped roaring and stopped attacking. Instead, they respectfully withdrew to both sides, opening a wide path.It was like commoners welcoming the arrival of a king.Jake stopped what he was doing and stared intently at the far end of that path.Through the Pale Eye, he saw two eerie, twisted figures slowly approaching from deep within the mist.Their outward forms had been thoroughly mutated, becoming hideous and terrifying, but Jake still recognized at a glance the faint human features that remained.
On the south district streets, smoke hung thick in the air, and the mist churned.After the explosions, the street looked like a slaughterhouse.Within Jake's Pale Eye vision, dozens of Tree Fiends in the front row had been blown apart. Their deadwood bodies, once hard as iron, had turned brittle under the silver's corrosion. Severed limbs flew through the air, and dark-green pus splattered across the street.Some Tree Fiends had even been blasted to dust, leaving nothing behind but a scorched crater.A successful first strike!Yet, the expression on Jake's face didn't relax in the slightest. If anything, it grew more grave.Because he saw that the shattered Tree Fiend remains weren't dying the way ordinary monsters did.A low hum filled the air.As if answering some summons, the surrounding mist rushed madly into the remains.The broken limbs began to regenerate, and the pulverized torsos pulled themselves back together.It took only a few seconds. Not only had every Tree Fi
In the past, that alone would have been enough to severely contaminate Jake's mind, maybe even drag him straight into a mental illusion and turn him into a walking corpse.But now, under the Pale Eye's vision, he wasn't affected much. His eyes stayed clear."Phew..."Jake took a deep breath and used his 1,000 points of Physique to force himself steady, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.Now that he could see them clearly, this would be easy."Angel! Come out, it's time to work!"At a single thought, he swept out his hand."Roar!"The winged Zombie Sovereign, Tyrant Angel, surged out like a flood, bringing seven Tyrants in heavy armor and a dense zombie army with it."Go!"Jake gave the order.Although they faced unknown Tree Fiends, the Zombie Legion under Angel's command showed no fear at all. Roaring, they charged out of the gas streetlamp's safe zone and plunged headlong into the billowing mist.Then something bizarre happened.There seemed to be some kind of myster
