Norma casually opened a small spatial rift. As Bernard’s attack came directly at her, she passed through the rift and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she reappeared behind Bernard and casually threw a few spatial blades, hitting Bernard and leaving several wounds on his back.

Next, Norma looked at Enzo.

Understanding her intention, Enzo gathered a fireball in one hand and a lightning ball in the other.

He quickly threw both orbs.

Norma seized the opportunity to open a spatial rift and transfer the two elemental energy spheres to Bernard’s side, one after the other, leaving Bernard no time to react.

Boom!

A violent explosion occurred.

Bernard was left in a very sorry state, with his entire body charred and blackened.

He was completely enraged and roared at Enzo and Norma, “Ah ah ah… you deserve to die! I will break your bones one by one and then throw your bodies into the bug pit!”

Then Bernard’s body grew even larger.

His aura became increasingly terrifying, causing Norma to feel considerable pressure.

“Die!”

Bernard roared loudly.

A crimson energy sphere appeared in his mouth, radiating an extremely evil aura that instilled fear. The sphere’s size continued to increase.

However, as the energy sphere grew, Bernard’s aura began to wane.

Norma, experienced in combat, immediately recognized the issue and said, “He’s using his own blood to power this attack.”

Enzo noticed it too.

With his body surrounded by a Lightning Shield and crackling with electricity, Enzo raced toward Bernard.

Seeing this, Bernard sneered, “Too late to stop me!”

As he spoke, the blood-red energy sphere launched toward Enzo. It seemed to lock onto him, relentlessly pursuing him no matter how he changed directions.

Bernard laughed maniacally, “This is the Blood Magic Ball. It won’t stop until it kills its target!”

Hearing this, Norma shouted urgently, “Enzo, come to me!”

Realizing they couldn’t evade the attack, they had no choice but to face it head-on.

However, Enzo did not heed Norma’s advice. As he was being pursued, he sensed the malevolent aura of the Blood Magic Ball more clearly. He knew that being hit by the Blood Magic Ball would not just result in death.

Additionally, he could always escape into a small world.

The Blood Magic Ball would be unable to follow him there.

If it did somehow follow, Enzo would not be the one in trouble.

Confident in his backup plan, Enzo remained calm.

He pushed his speed to the limit and quickly reached the base of a large boulder.

Onlookers shook their heads, commenting, “That kid is really out of options. With the boulder blocking the path, he’s trapped. Unless he can grow wings and fly.”

Before they could finish speaking, they were stunned into silence.

Behind Enzo, black wings appeared, and he soared into the sky, landing atop the boulder.

The Blood Magic Ball, unable to change direction in time, slammed into the boulder.

The boulder shattered, sending up a cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, the scene that unfolded left everyone astonished.

From the shattered boulder emerged a massive Blood Puppet. It grabbed the Blood Magic Ball with one of its arms, and despite the Blood Magic Ball’s attempts to resist, the puppet swallowed it whole.

With the Blood Magic Ball gone, Bernard’s aura weakened significantly.

In disbelief, he exclaimed, “No, how could there be a Blood Puppet? That thing was supposed to be destroyed!”

Crack~ Crack~

At that moment, the massive Blood Puppet stood up.

Its enormous head swiveled from side to side, seemingly searching for something.

Then, he locked onto Enzo, who was flying in mid-air.

However, the Blood Puppet did not attack. Instead, it opened its mouth wide and let out a strange howl.

As the howl rang out, a violent wind suddenly appeared.

Everything around was swept up by the wind, including the onlookers. The Blood Puppet then sucked in forcefully, and everything caught in the wind was drawn into its mouth. Enzo, who was flying in the air, was also sucked in.

But he clearly saw that he was not being drawn into the Blood Puppet’s body but was being pulled into an unknown spatial passage.

The journey through the spatial passage was incredibly long.

It was so long that Enzo’s consciousness fell into a coma. It wasn’t until he felt a distant period of time had passed that someone gently poured cold water on his forehead.

Enzo immediately opened his eyes and sat up.

“Where am I?” he asked.

“Ah! You’re awake!”

By the bedside was a little girl. Seeing Enzo wake up, the girl was not afraid but rather curious and asked, “Are you from the outside world too?”

Enzo was somewhat puzzled and asked, “You mean there are others who came from outside the world besides me?”

The girl nodded and answered truthfully, “Yes, there are many. According to the chief, there are many outsiders in this world. But many of them have bad tempers and keep shouting that they want to leave.”

Enzo’s mind stirred, and he asked, “Is it impossible to leave this place?”

The little girl continued, “I don’t know. Grandpa Chief never told me, but I heard some of the uncles say that to leave here, you need to go through Moon Tide. Moon Tide is very terrifying and easy to get lost in.”

Moon Tide?

Hearing this name, Enzo couldn’t sit still.

He was now certain that the mysterious person who left the soul seed wanted him to come here.

But still, what was the purpose?

Was it to investigate the truth about Moon Tide?

Regardless, his immediate priority was to find Norma and then leave this place.

With this in mind, Enzo asked the little girl, “Can you take me to see your chief?”

The little girl responded cheerfully, “No problem!”

She then led Enzo out of the house, through a path of yellow sand. Along the road, there were many houses and people working. The people didn’t seem surprised to see Enzo, but he found their behavior somewhat strange.

Their movements were very awkward, as if they were unaccustomed to them.

Soon, the little girl took Enzo to a tall stone building with its door wide open.

She led Enzo inside and called out, “Grandpa Chief, the person we brought back has woken up.”

“Coming, Little Luna.”

Came an elderly voice.

Dressed in animal skins and wearing a bone necklace, the chief appeared. He glanced at Enzo and immediately asked a series of questions: “What’s your name? What are you skilled at? And where are you from?”

The barrage of questions left Enzo somewhat confused.

However, given that he needed help, he decided to briefly explain his situation.

“Enzo, a Potion Master from Dark Night Forest.”

Upon hearing Enzo’s response, the chief was thrilled and asked again to confirm, “You’re a Potion Master?”

Enzo nodded.

The chief immediately called out to Little Luna, “Little Luna, go get Leiden.”

Leiden?

Another familiar name.

Soon, Little Luna returned with Leiden.

Seeing Leiden, Enzo was momentarily stunned and smiled, “Mr. Leiden, nice to see you again.”

However, the elderly Leiden showed no interest in Enzo’s greeting. He looked at Enzo with vacant eyes, appearing to be in poor mental and physical condition. After a brief glance, he told the chief, “We know each other. He is indeed a Potion Master.”

The chief smiled and said, “Good, that’s great!”

He then gave an order, “Since you two know each other, Leiden, you can explain the tribe’s rules to him. Also, starting today, you two will be responsible for handling the herbs.”

What’s going on?

Enzo wanted to ask more questions but was stopped by Leiden’s look.

Confused, he chose to remain silent.

He followed Leiden out of the stone house to a greenhouse filled with the bitter smell of medicinal herbs. Enzo asked, “Mr. Leiden, what’s going on?”

Leiden said wearily, “Clearly, we’ve become slaves.”

Upon hearing this, Enzo thought Leiden was joking. He laughed and said, “Becoming slaves? How could that be? The chief didn’t seem to have any power.

He looked like an ordinary person.”

Leiden looked at Enzo and said, “Kid, haven’t you noticed something?”

Enzo asked in confusion, “What’s that?”

Leiden pointed at Enzo’s body and said, “Where’s the supernatural power within you?”

Enzo replied, “Isn’t it right here?”

In Enzo’s palm, a faint orange flame flickered. Although the flame was very weak, Leiden examined it closely. After seeing it, Leiden’s eyes filled with tears of excitement as he whispered, “How… How are you doing this? Why can you still use supernatural powers?

People who enter this Moon Tide world are supposed to be unable to use supernatural abilities!”

Unable to use supernatural abilities!

Hearing this, Enzo finally understood what was wrong.

The people he saw on the roadside were not native to the tribe. They were individuals who, like him, had entered this strange world.

And now, all of them had become ordinary people.

What about Norma?

Enzo felt a surge of urgency.

At that moment, Leiden suddenly pulled Enzo down and crouched on the ground. He said, “Before tonight, we need to sort out three thousand Moonlight Grass plants and classify them by their age.”

A voice came from behind them, “Well done. You two can have meat to eat tonight.”

With that, the footsteps grew fainter.
