Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 564 - 518 Red Cloak
Tang Qi’s "surprise" was clearly more than what a Monster of Konomo’s level could withstand. He also possessed some Extraordinary Power, such as peculiar Physical Strength and speed, as well as the ability to drive Dead Spirits.
But these were utterly crushed in the face of Tang Qi.
What’s more, Tang Qi did not grant him the opportunity for a duel.
He had long learned of Konomo’s actions from "Rebecca" and naturally harbored no pity, proceeding directly to violently extract Memory.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Qi awoke.
Also awakening was Konomo, who, within the Red world, had already experienced the terror of this "Mysterious Witch" before him and decided to flee without hesitation.
Unfortunately, what awaited him was a sudden embrace of golden Light Flames.
The destructive power burrowed into his body, instantaneously disintegrating his once-prideful form.
For the first time, he felt the closeness of "Death."
He violently raised his head and stared fixedly at Tang Qi, as if to remember the appearance of the Wizard who killed him, his lips curled into a cruel smile, and he taunted word by word, "Despicable Explorer, shameless Wizard, you too are here for that Nihility Treasure, aren’t you?"
"You can only kill me temporarily. It won’t be long before the great Entity will Resurrect me. I am part of this place; I will not die... And you, how many levels can you pass? This is merely a beginning for me. Even if you are a Legendary Witch, a Demigod... In the end, you too will die here."
"Heh heh heh!"
The Burning of the Molten Furnace Flames was slower than when it fell upon the Cannibal Monster.
Not because "Konomo" was any stronger, or Tang Qi was interested in his last words, but to let him experience more Pain.
After he let out an unreal, typical villainous laugh, his tall, nobly barbaric body turned into black ashes, drifting and dissipating.
Correspondingly, the entire opulent house also began to vanish.
Those jewels that Konomo had boasted about, those Gold Coins, the precious porcelain, under the gaze of the "wives" he had robbed, vanished into nothingness.
Soon, those fiery girls from the "Rose Dance Group," looking around, found themselves in Ruins.
Before them appeared a pitch-black, spinning portal.
Behind Tang Qi, Rebecca, who had held back for a long time, let out a cheer and then embraced her sisters with tears.
From her continuous apologies, it was not hard to infer that the instigator responsible for the Dance Troupe members’ entry into this World was Rebecca, who had suggested playing a game in the basement of the grandfather’s villa and she had successfully brought about her own demise.
Fortunately, there was also some luck.
Through Rebecca’s explanation, the Dance Troupe members, who were originally panicked and anxious, cast joyful, expectant glances at Tang Qi.
First, they felt sorry for Rebecca being thrown to the Cannibal Monster; then they envied her for meeting such a handsome and powerful "Wizard," especially since she participated in the process of exterminating the Cannibal Monster with the esteemed Witch.
This adventure was enough to be the talk of the Dance Troupe for years.
"But now, we also have an opportunity."
Similar thoughts emerged in the minds of the beauties of the Dance Troupe.
Just as they were looking forward to a grand "Fantasy World adventure," Tang Qi poured cold water over their expectations.
The Wizard, completely ignoring the expectant gazes of the girls, pointed to the open portal and said to the Dance Troupe members, "This is the portal of departure. Enter, and you will return to where you mistakenly entered this place. Then you must go somewhere to report to the police..."
Using the same method he had used to send away the graduation trip group, Tang Qi also sent away the girls from Rose City, including Rebecca, but he did not immediately enter the next "Node."
Instead, he stood atop the Ruins, with memories extracted from the old Cannibal Monster, Sony Bean couple, and from Konomo’s mind, beginning to swirl in his head.
He had originally thought that based on the intellect and Deceit displayed by these two types of Monsters, their Memories should be complete.
But, surprisingly.
The information Tang Qi extracted with the "Red" theme turned out to be fragmented and very disorganized.
Only after combining the two was there some discovery.
"Ferocious Monsters, tattered rag dolls, Cannibal Monsters, Konomo... Their Creator is all the ’Source,’ or as they call it, the great Entity, which sounds like a Mysterious Divine?"
"But none of the Monsters dare, or rather, know the name of that Divine being."
"In addition to common folk inadvertently entering, there are also adventurers who break in, mostly in pursuit of the so-called Nihility Treasure, driven by various seemingly plausible Extraordinary Treasure Maps, most of which were related to various Legendary stories."
"All adventurers who do not escape in time die on the mountain."
"Beyond those individual Nodes, there are also a large number of Monsters in other areas. To reach the summit of that Giant Mountain, one must pass through all the Nodes; that is the only path... The closer to the mountain peak, the more powerful the Monsters that appear. Konomo even saw a giant dragon flying up to it."
"Deborah Town, atop that Mysterious Giant Mountain."
...
Tang Qi sorted out the fragmented information, one by one.
Quickly, he formed a judgment:
"That path, Ralph and Charlotte walked it years ago, they must be, to this day, the only two people who have survived... But the same path has now undergone a massive transformation, turning from a beautiful dream world into a bizarre and terrifying hellish road. According to Konomo’s words, even demigods are in danger of falling?"
"What on earth did Ralph do in Deborah Town to cause all these changes?"
"Finding the cause might allow Ralph Witchcraft to enter a whole new stage."
Without any reason but a very strong thought, it appeared in Tang Qi’s mind.
Immediately, his gaze turned to higher ground on the Giant Mountain.
Just as he was about to take the next step, searching for the next Node, he suddenly heard hurried, disordered footsteps behind him, as well as roars that humans simply could not make.
Tang Qi turned around and saw in the darkness, roughly a hundred iron-haired wild boars, with green eyes and bodies the size of calves, their speed as fast as phantoms, like groups of swirling ghost shadows.
The leader, the Head Pig, had eyes with a hint of red, and upon seeing Tang Qi, a humanized expression of delight and drooling appeared on its pig face.
But quickly, it seemed to remember something, and fear flashed in its eyes.
It glared fiercely at Tang Qi, then raised its head and howled, seeming to notify the wild boars behind it to ignore the tempting "food" ahead.
They swept past like a violent wind under Tang Qi’s astonished gaze.
Half a breath later, Tang Qi knew the reason.
A red dot was approaching rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a girl with black hair in a red cloak appeared within sight; she seemed exceedingly light, taking a step that carried her several meters forward like a phantom, and she carried an exaggeratedly large axe on her back.
In her pale hands, she held a "Monster Level" double-barreled shotgun.
Her perfect youthful face, now covered with frost, emitted a killing intent that even Tang Qi found surprising.
Clearly, this girl was the object of fear for the group of pig demon monsters; she was hunting them down.
The instant Tang Qi’s gaze converged on her, an intense ghost light surged out.
[Extraordinary Creatures: Red Cloak Girl.]
[State: Normal.]
[Information Fragment One: A special being from a special world, she, along with demon monsters, tattered rag dolls, and Konomo... are all bizarre, created by an unknown power, but unlike the others, for some unknown reason, she has resisted Pollution and obtained great power.]
[Information Fragment Two: She will act as the balance force in this world, she will follow a certain special self-will to hunt those fallen creatures.]
...
The successive bursts of Information Fragments brought surprise to Tang Qi’s eyes.
He gained some new understanding of this "Dream World."
Was the rapidly approaching Red Cloak Girl, just like the Silver Wolf "Maisy" who previously rescued the five members of the graduation trip, the opposite of the fallen creatures?
Does that mean, not all characters from Ralph’s beautiful dream adventure have fallen?
As Tang Qi analyzed the situation, suddenly, the girl who was hunting the Pig Demon Monsters stopped. The fiery Red Cloak fluttered towards him, and the girl stood before Tang Qi.
She gazed at him with an intensity Tang Qi had never felt before.
Without waiting for Tang Qi to speak, the girl suddenly raised the shotgun, her ghost light indicated that it was an Extraordinary Weapon, and the barrel still smelling of gunpowder, abruptly pointed at Tang Qi’s chest.
A cold voice then sounded:
"Foreign wizard, leave this place."
"I can feel a scent on you that I extremely dislike; you must be that guy’s Inheritor... This is a serious warning, if you don’t leave, I will go against my principles, I will kill you, even if beyond that disgusting scent, there is also a scent on you that brings fear and affinity."
With these words spoken, Tang Qi’s eyes immediately brightened.
He completely ignored other parts of the sentence, extracting the most crucial keyword.
"Who is that guy?"
Almost without hesitation, Tang Qi quickly asked the question.
Perhaps it was his strong affinity and the sincerely mild manner that came from within him that made the girl endure the disgust and stare coldly at him for a few moments. After determining that he was not lying, the girl finally responded to his question with a voice filled with killing intent.
"Father, a disgusting, shameless father... If he dares to enter here again, I will chop him to death with my axe."
"Boom!"
Tang Qi certainly did not expect that a huge secret would be so unexpectedly revealed by a mysterious girl who appeared out of nowhere.
It almost goes without saying that the scent in Tang Qi’s body that made the uncorrupted "bizarre" of this world feel disgusted must undoubtedly be the aura of Ralph Witchcraft.
And the source of this aura, in the girl’s words, turns out to be the "father" role.
At this moment, Tang Qi felt all the hairs on his body standing up, a mix of horror and sudden realization surged within him; his body went rigid, his thoughts stalled for a moment—a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
