Currently reading: Chapter 114 Ruby's Madness, latest chapters available here.

In just three or four minutes, the two sides, which had initially been aggressive, were now all suffering heavy casualties.

In just three or four minutes, a dense forest that would take hundreds or thousands of years to grow and reproduce was completely destroyed.

The small back mountain where the Mu family manor is located has had its upper half removed, leaving only pitted and uneven ruins.

Here, human life is the least valuable and cheapest thing.

However, a steady stream of people were being thrown into the battlefield.

........

Once they realized what was happening, Chu Ming's personal guards, led by Ruby, charged towards the battlefield like madmen.

The guard of more than 70 people did indeed kill anyone who stood in their way, and even demons if they were in their way, in the early stages.

However, the general-level warriors are just cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The Royal Guard advanced to the fifth ring of the battlefield, only to be caught in the crossfire of a super-level spell called "Azure Thunder Claw" by an unknown mage.

Seven people were killed on the spot!

With the addition of ubiquitous mechanical warriors and centipede serum warriors that have all been reduced to self-destructing units, the 60-man guard slowly retreated to the 7th ring.

Only Helby charged into the heart of the battlefield.

.........

The rain was heavy, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

The inky black sky, like a heavy curtain, completely shrouded this ancient and mysterious forest.

The sunlight was obscured by thick, dark clouds, and the occasional sliver of light that pierced through the gaps in the clouds could hardly penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, creating a sense of oppression and gloom in the forest.

The tall trees swayed in the night wind, making a rustling sound, like the whispers of monsters lurking in the darkness.

Ruby hurried through the dark forest.

Her golden hair danced wildly in the wind, and her bright eyes shone with anxiety and determination.

As a core member of Hydra, she knew that Chu Ming was currently in deep crisis.

Every second that wasted made Chu Ming's situation more and more dangerous.

The more dangerous Chu Ming is, the greater the credit for saving him will be.

The tasks assigned to you by your mother are easier to complete.

Just as she was dodging small battlefields and about to cross a narrow forest path, two dark figures suddenly leaped out as if from the depths of hell.

With a "whoosh," it landed steadily in front of her, blocking her path.

Upon closer inspection, wow, I recognize her!

These were the infamous assassins J and K.

Now in a sorry state, Assassin K was even coughing up blood, looking like he was about to die.

"Hale, Ruby? Is that you?"

"Killer J/Killer K? You dare to get involved in this?!"

Hel Ruby looked down on these two assassins who eked out a living under powerful forces. Her face darkened, and she snapped, "Get out of my way! Good dogs don't block the road!"

Hehe~~~

"As expected of Hydra's future, he really has a temper!"

Killer J leered at Ruby, who was also slightly injured and disheveled.

"However, this isn't exactly a base!"

"Little beauty, where are you rushing off to?"

Chu Ming is in dire straits himself!

"Why don't we stay and have a proper exchange among us dark mages..."

Assassin J's lips curled into a wicked smile, a smile full of ill intent.

His eyes gleamed with greed and mockery, like a wolf eyeing its prey.

Upon hearing this, assassin K instantly understood what his partner meant.

Leave Ruby behind, and devour her soul!

It can both heal injuries and absorb Ruby's dark-type talent!

This is indeed a good opportunity...

A gust of wind blew by, and the black fog thickened even more, to the point where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

Ruby frowned, and a flash of disgust and disdain crossed her eyes.

He cursed inwardly, "Those two bastards are like persistent ghosts."

"If I had known, I should have sent them to Dr. Whitehall for brainwashing!"

But verbally he responded firmly: "Get out of the way!"

I'll say it one last time!

"You two pieces of trash, get out of my way!"

Assassin J let out a sharp laugh, which echoed in the silent night sky like the cry of an owl, sounding particularly eerie: "Hmph, quite the boast."

"You're not leaving here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Assassin K quickly formed hand seals, the constellation flashing by, his movements as swift as a ghost.

A thick, inky black shadow instantly surged from his palm.

The shadow, darker than darkness itself, was very conspicuous.

Rolling and roaring, it swept towards Ruby like a surging tide, engulfing her completely in the blink of an eye.

Ruby was startled and knew something was wrong. Without time to think, she immediately used light magic to try to dispel the black mist.

"Radiance!"

A blinding white light gathered in his palm.

The light, like the rising sun, spread outwards, attempting to tear through the endless darkness.

However, the shadowy figure seemed to have a life of its own, devouring the light without showing any sign of dissipating.

"Damn it, it really didn't work!"

Having anticipated this, Ruby quickly switched to her most proficient shadow magic, attempting to use the power of shadow to break free from the black mist's restraints.

She flashed and transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the edge of the black mist.

She flashed and transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards the edge of the black mist.

But when she touched the edge of the black mist, a powerful resistance bounced her back, as if she had hit an invisible wall.

"Don't waste your energy, this black mist is not something you can break through."

Killer K's voice came from all directions, seemingly omnipresent, echoing endlessly in this enclosed space of black mist.

"In this black fog, your every move will not escape our eyes."

But you can't see anything.

'

Ruby suppressed her panic, gritted her teeth, and said firmly, "Do you think you can trap me like this?"

That's too naive.

Assassin J let out a mocking laugh from within the black mist: "Stubborn little girl, you'll be crying later."

As he spoke, Assassin J flashed forward like a ghost towards Ruby.

The dagger in his hand gleamed coldly, aimed straight at her throat.

Ruby sensed danger approaching and, relying on her keen intuition honed over years of training, quickly dodged to the side.

The dagger grazed the hem of her clothes, sending up a spark, and the air was filled with the smell of burning clothes.

His sword slashed down, but it was all in vain.

And so it went, again and again... almost 5 minutes passed!

Ruby knew that things couldn't continue like this.

Light magic is ineffective; otherwise, so many mages wouldn't have died under Assassin K's black mist.

Even his own high-level water-type abilities are useless.

Dark theme......

She took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"It's time to reveal some of our cards!"

Ruby decides to take the risk and use the forbidden magic of the Five Continents Magic Association—Sacrifice—to summon the power of the Dark Dimension.

"Although it's dangerous, there's no other way right now."

She thought to herself silently.

He took out a specimen of a spider lily, with leaves but no flowers, and tossed it out.
