The reincarnated devil was blessed by the goddess

As the turbid mist wrapped around her ankles, Theresa finally realized the malicious intent of this borderland.

The gray-red mist was not evenly distributed, but accumulated and surged in the low-lying areas like the breath of some living creature, and the moisture wrapped in the smell of sulfur seeped into the clothes.

The fog was more than three times thicker than when we first entered the border area, obstructing our vision like soaked cotton wool.

The sporadic footsteps on the gravel beach became cautious and short, and the adventurers' recklessness had long been crushed among the rugged rocks.

Theresa heard a soft humming of metal coming from behind her on the left. A companion wearing a longsword was using the weapon to explore the way.

When the fog briefly dissipated, the true appearance of the building debris half-buried in the gravel was revealed. The beams and pillars covered with blue-gray fungal spots were twisted at unnatural angles, and asphalt-like black slime oozed from the broken parts.

It smells so bad... so disgusting... so hot and stuffy...

The sky, forever frozen at dusk, was oozing with dark red veins, and the rotten clouds were slowly wriggling, casting deformed shadows on the back of everyone's neck.

"Everyone, move slowly, listen to Xiaohe, keep moving forward, and don't fall behind!"

Rosen of the Mole Guild stood at the front of the team, his voice low but powerful.

They have been gone for a long time.

Only then did Theresa notice that the fog around her was so thick that it was almost impossible to dissolve. The figures of many of her companions had long been swallowed up, leaving only vague outlines looming in the fog.

She looked down at her feet. Her boots made a sticky sound as they stepped on the ground, as if they were stepping on dried syrup or the secretions of some creature.

Every step she took made her feel uncomfortable, as if the ground was slightly wriggling and something would emerge from underneath at any moment.

Could there be something lying on the ground, waiting for us to fall into its trap?

"Ahhhh——!"

A shrill scream suddenly broke the silence, and Theresa's heart suddenly tightened.

She looked up quickly and saw a strange red light flash in the fog ahead.

what is that?

No, she wasn't the only one who saw it.

The people around also stopped and looked around vigilantly.

The red light flashed again, and this time she saw clearly that it was a pair of eyes, the eyes of some unknown creature, staring at them coldly through the thick fog.

"Everyone on alert!"

Rosen's voice rang out again, but before he finished speaking, a low biting sound suddenly came from behind, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking.

Theresa turned her head suddenly and saw something vaguely wriggling in the fog, followed by another scream.

"There's one behind too!" someone exclaimed.

"Little God Time!"

Theresa activated her ability without hesitation, and time instantly slowed down.

She flashed and appeared behind her companion who was attacked.

It was a rotten wolf-like creature, half of its head exposed to the white bones, and a scarlet light flashed in its eye sockets.

Its teeth dug deep into its companion's arm, and black slime oozed from the wound.

The magic sticks were quickly assembled and the monster was knocked away with one stick.

The rotten wolf beast drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

She quickly squatted down, her hands glowing softly, and gently covered her companion's wound.

The healing skills learned from the academy came in handy at this moment.

The light seeped into the wound like running water, dispelling the strange black slime.

"hold onto."

Theresa whispered soothingly, looking around warily.

In the fog, more red lights began to flicker, like countless pairs of eyes peering into the darkness.

Running...is impossible.

Because their mission is to wipe out the surrounding creatures and make them disappear.

But it’s not easy to perform well in this environment. It would be bad if you hurt your own people.

Theresa could sense her companions around her also fighting, but due to the thick fog, they couldn't use arcane magic or anything like that.

Can the light that you can see be manifested externally?

Yes, it should be...

When you can designate a minor god, it will appear.

"Buzzing..."

"This is?"

Ou looked at the light on his chest in surprise. The light not only illuminated himself, but also penetrated the thick fog, reflecting the figures of his companions around him.

The same light was shining on the chest of each of them, as if they were connected by some mysterious power.

"Well done, little white hair. I was worried I wouldn't see it."

Ao Yu played the harp in his hand, and the arcane magic echoed around along with the sound of the harp.

"Judgment Movement—Verdict!"

The blue sound waves spread out around him, and if touched by a rotten wolf beast, they would turn into sharp blades and pierce into its body.

With the vision illuminated, the situation became almost one-sided.

The rotting wolf beast let out a shrill scream and turned into pools of rancid blood.

"Keep moving forward and leave this place first."

Ou's voice echoed in the thick fog, which had now been cleared. In such an environment, treatment was obviously unwise.

So, they're going to push forward a little bit.

At least until you see the safe area of ​​​​the blue stone, you can prepare again.

"Yeah, we want to, too. But first, we have to find a way to get rid of the monster in front of us."

Rosen's voice came from the side, with a hint of helplessness and anxiety in his tone.

"Ok?"

When Ao Yu heard what Lawson said, he frowned slightly, walked quickly to his side, and when he followed Lawson's gaze, he immediately understood what Lawson was worried about.

It was a disgusting creature, its body covered with pustules, each of which seemed to be swollen with corrosive pus, bursting from time to time and spewing out streams of scarlet mist.

The inside of the monster's body seemed to be composed entirely of red mist, as if its existence was to release this deadly mist.

If not handled properly, the red mist may spread rapidly, affecting the entire team and even putting everyone in danger.

"This thing...can't be attacked casually."

Ou Yu whispered, running his fingers lightly over the strings of the harp, as if thinking of a strategy.

"Then I'll do it!"

Before she finished her words, Theresa turned into a golden afterimage.

Ao Yu watched the girl's short white hair passing by his eyes like a meteor's tail flame.

"Hey! You can't be so reckless!"

Ou's shout was drowned out by the sudden burst of sound waves, and the divine light stick in Theresa's hand was rapidly changing shape.

When she leaped right above the pustule monster, the original divine light stick turned into a divine light sword, and the sword body flowed with a sacred glow like liquid gold.

The moment the tip of the sword pierced the pustule, the entire space seemed to be paused.

"Thorn--!"

Theresa spun around and drew her sword, and the deadly red mist suddenly changed direction and poured into her body.

In an instant, all the monsters crawling on the ground were chopped to pieces by her.

It has to be fast, accurate and ruthless.

Theresa slowly turned around, her golden eyes flashing with a strange light in the thick fog, like two miniature suns, penetrating the surrounding haze.

"Uh... you handled it well. Let's go. We can see the first blue stone ahead."

Ou Yu managed to squeeze out a few words, trying to hide his inner uneasiness.

He pointed ahead, and a large rock emitting a faint blue light could be vaguely seen in the thick fog.

As Ou walked, his fingers unconsciously stroked the strings of the harp, and the moment when Theresa rushed out kept replaying in his mind.

The golden light cut through the thick fog and tore apart the dead silent space.

But that uneasy feeling lingered.

The moment Theresa rushed out, Ou thought his nervousness was due to her recklessness. The sudden impact made all the pores on his body stand up.

But thinking back carefully, that feeling didn't seem to be entirely because of her.

For a moment, it felt like something was staring at me.
