The space in front of Ralph changed rapidly as the ground under him moved in a zigzag pattern, he was thrown off balance and found himself spinning in the air; luckily, the undead General appeared beside him and caught him.

After a few seconds of switching views, the shifting came to an end, and the surroundings stopped spinning.

Ralph looked around himself, it was an empty ten meters wide circular space with not a single monster in sight; the gargoyles were not brought along with him.

“Damnit, my Nexus crystal!” Ralph cursed while gritting his teeth, he had just lost something so valuable because of the shifting.

Looking at the other Nexus crystal in his hand, a sigh escaped his mouth. Well, at least he got one.

Stay tuned to empire

Ralph sat on the ground after making sure that nothing suspicious was around him this time, not even a boulder could be seen.

He recalled the undead General and the undead knight back into his Nexus chamber as he had spent a lot of energy to sustain them during the fight with the gargoyles, after sending them back and taking one last look around, Ralph began to absorb the energy in the Nexus crystal as he waited for the next shift that should be happening in a few minutes.

…..

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Loud sounds rang out continuously in the open area, a white snake could be seen slamming its tail around the place and sending dozens of scorpions flying with each swipe of its tail.

Some of the scorpions were smashed into pulp by the tail of the white snake while some flew and crashed into others that were behind them.

Behind the white snake, Glen could be seen sweating profusely and he had a tired look on his face.

A while ago after the first shift, Glen was so unfortunate that he was shifted along with all of the scorpions!

They immediately began to jump at him after the shifting stopped; Glen had tried to run away, only for all the scorpions to chase after him.

He ended up running into this open space with no other way out except for where he came from, it was a dead end!

Left with no choice, Glen summoned his snake to fight.

He also covered himself with Nexus energy and joined to help the white snake. The Scorpions were weak monsters, and Glen was able to kill one with a single punch.

Along with his snake, they soon created a sea of blood and corpses of these monsters, but their numbers seemed endless; Glen was already getting exhausted, yet the number of the scorpions had only reduced by a bit!

He stopped using Nexus energy and hid behind the white snake, letting the latter do all the work while he supplied it with Nexus energy when needed.

It would be terrible if he kept fighting and ran out of energy, he would be unable to keep the snake in the real world and that would leave him to face the scorpions by himself.

Even as a True King rank Nexulyte, Glen would end up getting exhausted if he fought so many opponents for too long.

BAM!

A scorpion suddenly jumped past the tail of the white snake and charged at Glen, who was hiding behind it; its human arms opened wide as if it was going to hug Glen.

“Fuck!” Glen cursed in fright as he watched the scorpion get close.

A massive white head suddenly appeared between them, and a huge mouth filled with long white teeth opened and snapped at the scorpion, tearing it in two.

The snake had saved Glen just before the scorpion reached him but this had caused it to neglect the others for a moment.

Dozens of scorpions used this chance and jumped on the body of the white snake, they started clawing with their human-like fingers and stabbing at its scales with their stingers.

Cracks immediately began to appear on the scales of the snake, it raised its head into the air and roared.

Noticing this, Glen gritted his teeth before pressing his palms on the body of the snake and sending streams of Nexus energy into it; the cracks on its scales quickly vanished as if they were never there.

It resumed smashing the scorpions with its tail.

Glen’s face turned grim; his energy was running low, but there was still no end to these scorpions.

At this moment, Glen saw a scene that caused his body to shiver.

On the other side of this opening, a being walked out from the blood wall as if it were a bubble.

Glen knew just how strong the walls were, but this monster walked through it as if it were liquid.

That wasn’t what shocked Glen the most, it was the appearance of the monster that sent fear into his soul.

The monster was shaped like a beast, it was as tall as a minivan and had large paws. Its skin was that of a human but pale like a corpse; its body was bloated, and horrible-looking wounds with decaying surfaces riddled its body.

Bones poked out from the wounds, and black, slimy blood flowed down from them; tiny creatures that looked like flies buzzed around the monster, thus making it look more disgusting.

It was a Blightbeast!

Glen knew about this monster, they had learned about it back in the tower.

Blightbeasts were monsters that were rarely seen in the dreamscape, they were known for their decaying ability that affected their surroundings and their poisonous blood.

Another disturbing thing about them was their crazy sense of smell and their photographic memory, they were able to remember faces and trace smells for up to three kilometers!

The Blightbeast slowly placed a paw in front as it stepped toward the scorpions. Some of them immediately jumped at it, but they withered into dust immediately after they made contact with the body of the beast!

Glen’s eyes widened.

Wherever the Blightbeast passed through, all the scorpions within two meters of it would instantly turn into dust.

In just a few seconds, it had crossed half of the space and more than half of the scorpions had turned to dust because of it.

Good news for Glen, he was now able to rest since most of the scorpions went to attack the Blightbeast but Glen wasn’t happy about this at all because an even more terrifying being was now in front of him.

Wouldn’t he be next after the Blightbeast was done with Scorpions?

Glen was lamenting over his bad luck when a thunderous rumbling sound echoed through the labyrinth and the ground shook.

Another shift was about to start!

Glen’s eyes lit up, he was so happy about the shift that a drop of tears dropped down his face.

“Thank you, labyrinth,” Glen sobbed as tall blood walls rose around him, and his location changed.
