Chapter 34: Invincible

Accompanying the extension of these Webs, the entire block appeared more clearly in Xiao Fen’s eyes. The places where Humans moved and where animals existed were now displayed as red dots of different sizes one by one.

In the northwest corner of this block, large and fast-moving red dots were still lingering. Those were Garm. They remained guarding there, seemingly waiting for something.

The guardians of the underworld from Norse mythology suddenly reminded Xiao Fen of something, but quickly, his attention shifted to the due north, where a large number of human red dots had appeared successively.

Using the power of the Web to kill those two Trialists out of fear of being killed caused Xiao Fen no great psychological pressure.

However, facing ordinary Humans who posed no threat to him, even knowing they were just Natives created by the World Tree, commanding the Web to kill them still brought Xiao Fen significant psychological pressure.

But this psychological pressure didn’t last long. Xiao Fen still didn’t fully understand his task.

Although the Web allowed Xiao Fen to open and spread, it did not accept his commands. It only executed existing programs: kill all human life under the Web’s coverage.

So, while Xiao Fen was hesitating, dozens of human red dots on the entire block suddenly disappeared. Those were the Web’s own killing actions. As the Web expanded further, the entire block began to fall into chaos.

Even at a certain distance from the edge of the Web, Xiao Fen still felt he could hear the panicked shouts of the Natives and their desperate cries after being caught by the Web.

This situation didn’t last long either. After 5 minutes, the entire block returned to peace. Within the area covered by the Web, there were no more red dots representing human life.

Xiao Fen let out a long breath. He didn’t know about historical events, but a bloody slaughter suddenly appeared before his eyes, and he happened to be the one who started it. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although Xiao Fen could always keep himself calm, it didn’t mean he was a cold-blooded guy.

The deaths of dozens of people, even though they were Natives, still left him with some trouble in his heart.

If it weren’t to complete further tasks, this slaughter wouldn’t have happened. Although this hypothesis didn’t fit the actual situation at that time, it didn’t prevent Xiao Fen from feeling deep self-reproach for this slaughter.

He squatted in the corner, looking at the entire Light Screen, his mind in turmoil. He stayed like this for a long time. Only when the bell outside rang three times did he snap back to reality.

Li Ruran and the others hadn’t appeared yet, which surprised Xiao Fen. According to his estimate, these two should have appeared in this block by 2:00 AM at the latest, but reality was obviously different.

He checked the task progress, which had now reached 42%.

Sylvia should still be working hard, but a person’s power was thin after all, and the overall task progress had begun to slow down.

This puzzled Xiao Fen. Li Ruran and the others neither entered the block to find their companions nor participated in the competition for the Main Quest progress. It seemed as if this side’s affairs had nothing to do with them, and they remained in a state of bystanders.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the number of Garm in the northwest corner seemed to have thickened. They appeared to be gathering further. There were so many guardians of the underworld on the Light Screen that he couldn’t even count them at a glance.

According to Sylvia’s explanation, these guardians of the underworld were not evil. They prevented the living from entering the underworld and also prevented the dead from entering the world of the living. The previous attack on Xiao Fen was just to prevent Xiao Fen, as a living person, from entering the underworld.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fen suddenly paused.

The guardians of the underworld appeared here to prevent the living from entering the underworld. This could only mean that there was an exit to the underworld nearby these Garm.

Xiao Fen didn’t know how the World Tree viewed the underworld, but the underworld appearing in this Trial World obviously symbolized something.

As for the increase in Garm, the most likely reason was that the exit to the underworld had been opened, and a large number of the dead were about to appear in the world of the living.

Filth Creatures, Resurrection of the Dead, Doll Resurrection, and the living house all came rushing in an instant. Even with his high Mental Attribute, Xiao Fen only felt a splitting headache and couldn’t focus his attention to analyze these factors.

Just then, a red dot of a normal Human suddenly appeared from the cluster of Garm. Although he didn’t see it with his own eyes, Xiao Fen could still feel a bone-chilling coldness.

That Human was just a red dot on the projection screen, yet it was enough to make one’s flesh crawl. Xiao Fen could even feel that all the air in this block had frozen.

The red dots of the Garm paused slightly, then almost simultaneously launched, charging toward the red dot of that Human.

Back then, Sylvia was rushed into a panic by just a few Garm and suffered some injuries. Xiao Fen had almost been bitten to death by a Garm.

Now, at least more than 50 Garm were charging in the same direction. The sheer momentum was enough to make one’s legs weak with fear.

Even for Xiao Fen, just watching the movement of these red dots, he felt a violent tremor occurring under his feet.

He couldn’t imagine if so many Garm had charged at him just now, whether he could have survived until now.

However, such a charge meant nothing to that Human red dot. All the Garm that charged disappeared without a trace the moment they touched the Human red dot.

It seemed there was an efficient crusher around that Human. Even beings like the guardians of the underworld could be cleared without a trace in an instant.

In less than 3 minutes, all the Garm were cleared by that Human red dot. In the direction of the northwest corner, besides that Human red dot, there was no other life.

The red dot seemed to pause in the northwest corner. In that instant, Xiao Fen could feel a gaze piercing through multiple thick walls and hitting his body heavily.

Gaze actually had weight. This was a feeling Xiao Fen had never experienced before. But this time, the other’s gaze made him realize this, and it was while he was being knocked back in the air.

The other party only glanced once, yet from such a far distance, through layers of houses and walls, he knocked Xiao Fen, who was observing him, flying. In front of such an opponent, Xiao Fen first realized how fragile he was in front of a real Awakened.
