Traveling through the game world

They advanced at full speed all the way, and soon they saw the adventurer fighting fiercely among a group of werewolves. His eyes, covered by a strip of cloth, and the wave of energy emanating from his sword, clearly indicated that he was an Asura.

"Trezeguet!" Arthur recognized the man and called out from afar.

When Lian Yang heard Arthur call out that name, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "It really is this guy. This is troublesome. I wonder if there's any hope of saving him."

Sure enough, upon hearing Arthur's call, Trezeguet abruptly turned towards Lian Yang and the others, then charged forward madly, attacking every monster in his path.

Arthur, thinking Trezeguet was excited to see him, exclaimed happily, "That's great! He wasn't there the day the accident happened. I can't believe he survived!"

"Die!" Trezeguet, who was close at hand, suddenly unleashed a burst of fiery energy from his sword towards Arthur.

"Holy Light Shield!" Arthur raised his hand and unleashed a Holy Light Shield, blocking Trezeguet's attack. He roared, "It's me, Arthur! Trezeguet, what's wrong with you?!"

"Monsters...die...die all of you...!" But Trezeguet continued to roar madly, as if all he could see were monsters. He was breaking down...

Alice pointed painfully to Trezeguet's arm and said, "Look at his arm, it's already starting to mutate..."

Sure enough, Trezeguet's arms were muscular and his dark blue body hair was becoming thicker. However, it was not easily noticed because it was hidden in his wide sleeves.

"No!" Following Alice's pointing finger, Arthur let out a mournful cry. He was all too familiar with this scene. The first place where Akainu Bugatti mutated was the muscles in his arms and the bluish-black fur. And Trezeguet's state at this moment was exactly the same as when Akainu Bugatti went berserk.

“End him. Even though he’s insane, at least he’s still human!” Baron suddenly said from the side. His voice was low, but full of determination.

"Hammer of Repentance!" Arthur didn't reply, but instead unleashed his Hammer of Repentance. In a flash, the Hammer of Repentance, imbued with holy light, struck Trezeguet.

"Bang...!" The crazed Trezeguet didn't notice Arthur's attack and was caught off guard, so he was smashed away by a hammer and crashed hard into the wall in the distance.

Lian Yang and the others were only attacking the werewolves around them. Lian Yang couldn't help with Trezeguet's situation. If they had arrived earlier, there might have been a way, but now it was too late.

Furthermore, Lian Yang also figured out the mechanism behind these werewolf mutations. The prerequisite is mental strength. Clerics possess strong mental strength due to their unwavering faith, and mages, through daily meditation, also possess strong mental strength. The Black Nightmare can only control the mutations of those with weak mental strength.

Trezeguet, as an Asura, also needs to meditate, but his mental strength cannot reach the level of a mage or priest. Moreover, the mutation of the entire survivor team is not simply a matter of the Black Nightmare; there must be other issues involved. This is because Lian Yang and the others did not sense any signs of mutation whatsoever.

Just as one crisis subsided, another arose. Arthur and Trezeguet were still fighting when a female fighter rushed up from afar.

"Monster, die!" She raised her hand and unleashed a net, then promptly threw out a poison needle, clearly a female street fighter.

Arthur, who was fighting Trezeguet, was startled when he saw the newcomer's condition. He asked in a trembling voice, "Figo? You are also...?"

"Die!" The only response he received was the ruthless strike from the Karaoke King, Faye. In that instant, Arthur also clearly saw the thick, bluish-gray hair on Faye's head.

It was obvious that even the karaoke king, Fei Ge, had mutated. The pain Arthur felt was beyond the comprehension of Lian Yang and the others, but just imagining it was unbearable. A sudden surge of hope resulted in utter despair. The fact that Arthur didn't break down only speaks volumes about his unwavering will.

Lian Yang said in a deep voice, "We need to finish this quickly. Arthur can't handle two people at the same time!"

"Leave it to me." As he spoke, Baron had already arrived next to the karaoke king, Fiege, and with a flick of his wrist, he took Fiege away from Arthur.

Figo, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly got up. It was obvious that her mutation level was lower than Trezeguet's, and she had probably only recently mutated. Her attack methods were much more diverse than Trezeguet's, who only had a few wave sword moves left.

The crazed Trezeguet swung his short sword wildly, each move a mad display of skill, utterly disregarding injury. Occasionally, in order to unleash a burst of fiery energy, he would even ignore attacks from the werewolves around him. His only goal was to destroy the 'monster' Arthur before him.

Arthur swung his cross with both hands, and each time it clashed with Trezeguet's short sword, it produced a resounding clang of metal against metal.

Arthur simply wanted to use this most intense battle as a lament for his former teammate Trezeguet, because Trezeguet's ultimate tragedy was already unavoidable.

Comparatively speaking, while the karaoke king Fei Ge occasionally pulls off elaborate traps, Baron has to be constantly on guard, because even he would be in serious trouble if he were caught in one.

Feige, the queen of karaoke, not only wears steel claws and often clashes head-on with Baron, but she also secretly throws out a bunch of poison needles. Not to mention the toxicity, Feige's poison needles are incredibly painful when they hit you.

Whenever Baron tries to launch a powerful attack, the karaoke king, Feige, will always stay far away and use the werewolves around her to block Baron's attack.

The more this happened, the less Baron dared to go all out. After blocking a fatal blow from the karaoke queen Fei Ge, Baron couldn't help but ask, "Lian Yang, is Fei Ge really beyond saving? I feel like she's still conscious!"

"I'm sorry, but once you enter a frenzy state, the werewolf mutation is irreversible. This involves the laws of evolution, and there's nothing we can do about it." Lian Yang, who was in the middle of the battle, had noticed Fei Ge's fighting state early on. After asking Xi Wang, he learned that if Fei Ge hadn't entered a frenzy state, a single Shining World Globe would have been enough to solve the problem of the adventurers here mutating into werewolves.

However, once they descend into madness, Lian Yang is utterly powerless, because in a sense, the state of Faye Wong and Trezeguet can be considered a kind of degeneration or evolution guided by a dark nightmare. And this degeneration or evolution is a law, fundamentally irreversible.

"Irreversible?" Baron looked helplessly at Feige, the queen of karaoke, who was undoubtedly a female street fighter with amazing talent. He said with regret, "Phew, since it's irreversible, at least I'll let you die as a human!"

"Roar! Die!" The lingering, powerful fighting instincts told Feige that something about the monster before her had changed, and the battle was now more dangerous. She unconsciously increased the strength of her attacks.

But when Baron got serious, he was no match for Feige, the Karaoke King, who was far inferior to him in equipment and skills. Baron's momentum shifted, and his sword strikes were as swift and powerful as lightning. For a moment, Feige could only barely parry.

No matter how wildly Fei Ge, the queen of karaoke, tried to be, her absolute weakness in strength was insurmountable. At this point, she didn't even have a chance to unleash her skills. Baron's sword grew faster and faster, while her parries became increasingly ineffective.

"Die! Blood Blade!" Under the berserker Baron's frenzied attacks, even the karaoke king Feige, who had fallen into a deep frenzy, could not withstand it. Finally, he failed to defend against Baron's attack and was left wide open. Baron seized this opportunity and raised his hand to unleash his strongest killing move, Blood Blade.

He raised his hand and swung his sword, the greatsword radiating bloody energy, and with a fierce strike, he pierced the chest of Fei Ge, the queen of karaoke.

"boom!"

The blood energy exploded the moment it penetrated the body, and the crazed karaoke king, Fei Ge, finally fell under the sword of the even more crazed berserker, Baron.

Meanwhile, Arthur's battle with Trezeguet was also nearing its end, unlike Baron's absolute dominance over the karaoke king, Figo.

Arthur and Trezeguet are roughly equal in strength. If the crazed Trezeguet hadn't only possessed the most basic fighting instincts, perhaps the paladin Arthur would have been at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." The crazed Trezeguet's every move was powerful and heavy, but his madness lacked any discernible pattern. After a brief period of adjustment, Arthur had figured out Trezeguet's fighting style.

"Rest assured, my former comrade!" In a flash, Arthur raised his hand and unleashed a hammer of repentance, the great hammer formed from holy light slamming into Trezeguet's body.

"Holy Light Cross!" Immediately afterward, Arthur released another Holy Light Cross.

Under the double blow, Trezeguet's health finally dropped to 0. In his last moments, he suddenly regained consciousness and said with faint gratitude, "Thank you... Arthur...!"

Even death is better than becoming the monster you once fought to the death with...
