"Just... just like that, it’s over?"

"What happened? What was that terrifying roar just now? Why did those demons suddenly leave?"

"Could it be that something big is happening?!"

The three trialists looked at each other in disbelief.

Having survived a catastrophe, they couldn’t help but speculate about the truth of the matter.

...

At this time, within a hundred miles of Waldo’s safe house, similar incidents were happening continuously.

"What’s going on? What level of demon made that terrifying roar?!" "At least a third-level demon, maybe... even a fourth-level one!"

"Just one roar commanding countless demons; this must be a tyrannical presence with a very high status among demons and terrifying power!"

"We’re doomed if it manages to organize all the demons. Won’t we all be finished?"

"Don’t worry too much. Demons aren’t highly intelligent, so it’s unlikely. Besides, the Dark Lands are vast; how could it command all the demons?"

"What we should be most concerned about now is what this terrifying demon wants to do. Why did it suddenly appear and summon so many demons?"

"Could it be... that it encountered a formidable enemy or something that poses a significant threat?"

"But who in the Dark Lands could make it feel so threatened? Waldo? Impossible, he’s just a second-level trialist right now!"

"The three-eyed natives! I think it must be them!"

"Yes, it must be them..."

This disturbance was like a magnitude-nine earthquake among the trialists.

Many people were talking about it.

It could be said that since the outbreak of the demons, this was the most attention-grabbing event.

Undoubtedly, this mysterious demon was extremely powerful!

A single roar commanding demons within a hundred-mile radius. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Such a jaw-dropping event had actually occurred.

Countless trialists were shocked and also extremely worried.

Many people were watching and trying to gather intelligence through various means, preparing countermeasures in advance!

...

Waldo’s expression was extremely grave.

The impact of the bewitching demon’s roar was far greater than he had anticipated.

Following the roar, Waldo immediately saw a massive army of demons rushing from the distance,

like a black torrent, shaking the heavens and earth, sweeping across the universe.

The sheer terrifying and immense aura they emitted was enough to make countless trialists tremble in fear and dread!

"This demon must be at least fourth-level!"

Waldo’s face was solemn.

At that moment, he felt a fatal pressure.

Never during his time in the Dark Lands had he experienced such an event.

It unsettled him, fostering fear.

Even Waldo could sense the scent of death pervading the air.

He was on high alert.

He had a vague feeling that if he rashly left the safe house and its protection, he could easily be killed by the bewitching demon, possibly even instantly.

The reason was simple.

The bewitching demon was likely a fourth-level demon!

Waldo was still a second-level trialist, not even third-level.

The gap between them was too vast.

They were not on the same level or tier!

"To deal with this bewitching demon, I need to be at least a third-level trialist!"

"Once I become a third-level trialist, and especially one with a 100% undead body transformation rate, my strength won’t be inferior to an average fourth-level trialist!"

"Plus, with the ten max-level abilities I possess..."

"Dealing with this fourth-level bewitching demon shouldn’t be a problem."

Waldo thought to himself.

"But right now, the key issue is that I’m still one super Source stone short... I can’t easily give up the plan for a perfect undead body transformation, so I need to be cautious for now..."

Waldo suddenly remembered someone mentioning the mysterious deaths of third-level trialists not long ago.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it was the work of this very bewitching demon before him.

Therefore, he had to be cautious!

What does being cautious mean?

Of course, it means relying on the safe house to fend off the demon attacks!

No matter what, Waldo couldn’t possibly leave the safe house.

If he could hold out, he would do so as much as possible.

...

Before long, a large number of demons arrived around the safe house.

If one were to look down from the sky, an astonishing scene would unfold:

At least a thousand demons, roaring like a tidal wave across the land, surged with endless, bizarre energy.

And the safe house was like the only light in the darkness, or in the midst of the sea.

Flickering and trembling, it could be overwhelmed at any moment.

And consequently extinguished, disappearing!

In the distance, even more demons were converging towards this location!

In mid-air, the bewitching demon’s hollow eyes were fixed on the safe house.

Its slender hand made a slight gesture.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Countless demons roared in unison.

Dragging their bizarre bodies, they pounced towards the safe house.

Like a monstrous wave crashing against a tiny flame.

Undoubtedly, this tiny flame was bound to be easily extinguished!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...

Amidst the humming, the safe house trembled on the brink of collapse!

"Damn it, so many demons!"

Waldo’s face turned grim.

Although his strength was not inferior to that of a third-level trialist, and even somewhat stronger, he was still having a hard time under the onslaught of so many demons.

Now, he could only struggle to hold on.

Boom, boom, boom!

The attack of the demons came like a tsunami.

Waves upon waves crashed relentlessly.

Waldo’s internal energy churned tumultuously, his power seemingly roaring and rampaging out of control.

"Titan Body!"

Waldo roared.

His muscles bulged like iron lumps, and his clothes fluttered noisily under the force of his immense power.

Suddenly, a giant seemed to descend.

The rolling, nearly uncontrollable power within Waldo finally began to subside.

His eyes glowed red, burning like flames.

It was as if he had fiery eyes and golden pupils, with two dazzling suns rising slowly!

"A bunch of ordinary and second-level demons, trying to breach my safe house? That’s a fool’s dream! You are not qualified enough!"

"Scum, all of you, get lost!"

Waldo shouted, and thunder erupted.

Immediately, an invisible force spread rapidly from the safe house across the ground!

The weaker demons near the safe house suddenly froze.

Their bodies’ surfaces began to show a layer of primitive gray, like the color of ubiquitous rocks.

Amid the terrifying roars and countless ripples, dense web-like patterns appeared on them.

There was also a very faint, but distinctly audible, cracking sound.

Then, amidst the swirling winds, they crumbled into pieces of stone and debris scattered on the ground.
