The King of Black Fog

"The Cutter can wield Invisible Blades," inside the Black Box, after listening to Yang Qinglan's retelling, Turquoise Pool explained, "The blades are powerful, incredibly fast, and don't cause air currents, making them hard to defend against."

Li Changzhou thought for a moment: "If we were above the Abyss, I could anticipate his attacks through movement; in this pitch-black Abyss... still, I can handle it."

Though all Divine Power Techniques and Skills were lost, it's not impossible to avoid these Invisible Blades.

This is the technique he mastered through countless near-death encounters, based on the foundations of [Divine Body], "Saint Master - Asura Path," "Concentration," and "Wisdom Pearl."

Even in a normal human body, he can execute combat skills that even Players find astonishing.

"No wonder Qian Xia turns into a simpleton beside you," Turquoise Pool laughed, "If I had such a reliable brother-in-law, I wouldn't bother using my brain either."

"Useless, give up, none of you can match me as a sister, my brother only likes my type." Li Qianxia made a '√' under her chin, looking smug and cute.

"My sister is certainly the cutest in the world." Li Changzhou agreed wholeheartedly.

Li Qianxia kept her pose, slightly raised her chin, roughly to the point of looking down her nose.

"Are you all bored?" Yang Qinglan asked.

Everyone fell silent.

To say bored, Turquoise Pool and Li Qianxia might feel a bit, Li Changzhou had to control the Black Box spider, while the three Si only required the second Si to occasionally open her eyes, the main body and the third had nothing to do, but they didn't have a sense of boredom.

There were laughter and conversations inside the Black Box, yet outside, the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

Even those 'Great Power' holders dared not be careless.

The Exploration Team's Equipment was much better than the old man's, all made of solid ice forged through 'Great Power,' featuring ice axes and foot spurs that made for quick and stable progress.

Descend continuously, descend continuously.....

The body grew colder, no matter how much warm clothing was worn, the chill penetrated to the bone, and breathing through the nose or mouth was painful.

The whole body stiffened, this stiffness felt like a phantom hand pulling them from the ice wall, trying to drag them down.

Within the flowing swarm of Fireflies, the Angel exhaled, cautiously moving downward, her hand unintentionally touching the ice wall, even through several layers of snow leopard fur gloves, the ice wall was still burning cold!

She withdrew her hand, looking around.

It hadn't been long since the last exploration ended; this path was relatively safe; the Ice Corpses and monsters hadn't yet had time to "replenish," the Exploration Team had only encountered one monster attack despite descending for so long.

...This won't do.

The Angel looked up at the dense 'light spots' above, fingers hooked on her collar covering the bridge of her nose, pulling it down to reveal her lips.

Her gaze fixed on one particular light spot, she softly opened and whispered.

'Gaze into the Abyss.'

In the next instant——

The 'light spot' revealed a monster gradually swelling.

"Roar!"

Amid screams and monstrous roars, the Angel straightened her collar, her eyes focused on the solid ice ahead, listening to the sound of flesh being torn apart.

It seemed like a combat-type monster..... Hmm——, it didn't smash, but cut? It seemed to have good hands.

"It went that way! Be careful!"

The jumping ability seemed good too.

"Guh~~~" A strange sound echoed.

"Another one is coming!!"

The Angel smiled faintly; someone had gazed into the Abyss during the fight, turning into a new monster.

Fighting on the ice wall means turning into a Living Corpse after dying; even a warrior like the old man, who had endured a lifetime, may not be a match, let alone a monster.

To the monster, explorers and the corner snails were indistinguishable, they could play as they liked.

That is, if there was no 'Great Power.'

"Everyone close your eyes!"

They heard someone shout.

Soon after, beneath their closed eyes was a blazing white light, proof of strong light.

A large chunk of ice wall was soaked in white light, the ice surface reflecting like a mirror.

A holder attached to the ice wall glowed all over, a soul-like translucent figure emerged halfway from behind him.

This translucent figure kept its eyes tightly shut, with ripples of white light spreading around, within them emerged swords of light.

Light Swords aimed at the two monsters, also blinded by white light.

Not a gust of wind, nor the fastest arrow; light was everywhere, reaching anywhere instantly.

——As soon as the fact "aimed" occurred, the two monsters were already dead, this is light speed.

There was no sound of Light Swords piercing flesh; the Light Swords seemed unmoved, yet they slowly reintegrated into the white light ripples.

And those two monsters, riddled with holes, didn't emit any wails, fell straight into the Abyss.

The white light in their eyes gradually faded, as everyone cautiously reopened their eyes, their vision retaining remnants of light, everything seemed glaring, with halos of red light.

Inside the Black Box.

"'Great Power - White Light Divine Sword,'" Turquoise Pool said, "Any life form that sees white light will be targeted by the Light Sword."

After a pause, she added: "I can handle this."

"So cool~!" Li Qianxia applauded, face full of admiration.

Outside the Black Box.

"I've said before," the Cutter's voice came from the dark, "if anyone turns into a monster again, I'll make their family accompany them in death—who turned into a monster just now?"

The ice wall fell into a dead silence.
