Glen stared at the scale that was covered in blood, surprised at how effective it was.

He looked at the beast and grinned.

“Didn’t you say I can’t hurt you? Well, guess what?” Glen said with a sinister voice.

The beast roared.

“What sort of freak are you? Stay away from me!”

The ring of flames around its neck rotated before sending out balls of flames at Glen.

“Never!” Glen shouted in fury before disappearing.

Swoosh!

He appeared in front of the beast’s face like a phantom with his fist punching out.

BAM!

The punch landed on the beast’s face and the scale instantly stabbed into its skull before sending it flying.

It slammed into the blood wall and was yet to stand up when Glen appeared in front of it again, his hands turning into a white whirlwind as he rained down his fists on the monster’s body.

Blood flew everywhere, and cuts began to appear all over the monster’s body; it was soon bathed in blood and covered in cuts in Just a minute.

The fire around its neck had long died out and disappeared, and its breathing was faint; Glen had beaten it to the verge of death.

“You…despicable…human” it cursed while looking at Glen hatefully.

The latter stumbled back and fell on his back, his transformation undone and a small white snake coiled up on his stomach; Glen had unknowingly used up all of his Nexus storage and didn’t have enough to sustain his transformation anymore.

Although the beast’s ability had affected him in a different way than he had expected, the rage that Glen felt had clouded his mind and made him ignore things that he shouldn’t have.

Now, he was out of Nexus energy and totally exhausted; he could even barely move.

The good thing was that the beast was in even worse shape than him, it could not even move its tail.

So he was safe for the time being, he would just stay like this till he recovered a bit of energy; his snake would keep watch until then.

“Stupid beast, you just had to use the wrong kind of ability on me; now see what you’ve caused; I’ll make sure to finish you off once I get up,” Glen voiced out while staring at the red mist above the labyrinth.

The Chimera of dread heard this, and tears almost burst out from its eyes; it was unable to move unless it would have walked over and slapped this detestable human to death.

‘You dare to complain when I’m the one who’s on death’s doors? How shameless can you be? I used the wrong ability, what else do you expect me to use besides what I have?’

It lamented inwardly while cursing its bad luck for running into someone like Glen.

But there was nothing either of them could do, they could only lie on the ground and patiently wait for either of them to regain their mobility or if the labyrinth would shift first and have something else kill them.

…

On Ralph’s side.

He was battling against a Ghoulshade.

Ghoulshades were skeleton creatures with bits of flesh hanging on their bodies, they wore black tattered robes and were able to fly in the air.

Their means of attacking were just like necromancers, they could summon undead creatures to fight for them.

That wasn’t the only scary thing about them, what was even scarier was their ability to use dark magic.

They could form black patterns in the air and fire all sorts of dark spells at their targets.

Currently, the Undead General and the undead knight were facing a bunch of tall skeletons and a single abyss worm.

The abyss worm was a gigantic worm with a death aura.

Bang!!

The undead General flashed, turning into red light, and crashed through the sea of skeletons, knocking them away.

The skeletons flew in the air and slammed into the blood walls, they dropped to the ground before quickly standing back up again and rushing at the undead General; their speed was equal to that of an average human being.

The undead General turned and waved its hand at the head of a skeleton, slapping the head off its neck bone.

With a crack sound, the skull of the skeleton flew off and fell dozens of meters away.

Strangely, the body of the skeleton didn’t drop to the ground after its skull was sent flying. Instead, a dark aura appeared around it and formed another skull that turned to face the undead General instead.

As for the skull that was sent flying, dark around shrouded it as well began constructing a whole new body for it!

The single skeleton that the undead General had killed became two!

This was why the number of skeletons kept increasing the longer the fight dragged on; these skeletons would multiply when killed!

As for the undead knight, it was having a face-off against the abyss worm.

Swoosh!!

The undead knight rode on its shadow horse like an illusionary being and flickered around the huge worm, its sword slashing out at the body of the worm.

Puff! Puff! Puff!!

Black blood sprayed out as cuts appeared all over the soft body of the worm, the worm made a large screeching sound before suddenly turning on a nearby skeleton.

It dove toward the skeleton and swallowed it in one bite.

Immediately after swallowing the skeleton, dark smoke began to rise out of the numerous wounds on its body before closing up.

It instantly turned to the undead knight after healing, the abyss worm opened its mouth that was filled with jagged black teeth, and spat a jet of black liquid at the undead knight.

The latter simply flashed away from the place on its horse, the black liquid landed on the ground and the ground immediately melted into a black puddle.

Swoosh! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The undead knight flashed again, and a fountain of black blood gushed into the sky as it covered the worm in cuts again, but the monster simply swallowed another skeleton before healing.

The battle entered a statement: the undead General was unable to kill the skeletons as they simply multiplied no matter what they did, while the skeletons were unable to catch the undead General, much less leave a scratch on it.

It was the same for the undead knight and the abyss worm.

The undead knight would always dodge the black water jet that the worm shot at it while the other party would swallow a skeleton and heal up whenever it got injured.

The fight was going nowhere.

The reason for this statement was the Ghoulshade that kept casting black magic patterns on the ground; these magic patterns covered the ground and acted as an energy source for the skeletons and abyss worms.

Ralph, who covered his body with Nexus energy, was currently battling with the Ghoulshade.

BAM!!

Ralph’s fist landed on the ground after the monster flew away and dodged his attack.

The Ghoulshade turned to Ralph after dodging his punch; it stretched its palm, which was a mixture of bones and little pieces of flesh, at Ralph.

A small black magic circle suddenly appeared on the creature’s palm before flickering with black light.

Ralph’s gaze hardened and he immediately jumped away from the place.

A split second after he left, a black bolt of lightning shot out from the small black magic circle and ruthlessly struck the place.

BOOM!!

The sound of the lightning bolt was thunderous; Ralph had not gone too far from the place, so the force from the lightning explosion sent him flying away.

He crashed into the ground and rolled, coming to a stop after hitting his back on the legs of a skeleton.

The skeleton immediately turned to look at Ralph before stabbing at him with its bone hand that acted as a dagger.

But before the hand could reach Ralph, a red light shot past and the skeleton suddenly exploded into pieces of bones that flew to the side along with the wind.

Ralph was stunned but didn’t waste time lying down there, he immediately got up to his feet just in time to see another three skeletons jumping towards him.

He hurriedly grabbed one of them and used it to hit the other two like a baseball bat.

The three skeletons flew away while scattering into pieces in mid-air.

Ralph didn’t get a chance to rest before he was forced to roll away from the place again as a bolt of black lightning flew above his head immediately after he went to the ground.

The Ghoulshade was after him again.

“This isn’t working; I’ll end up exhausting my energy if this goes on,” Ralph mumbled to himself as he went after the Ghoulshade again.

His speed was pretty fast as he ran on the blood wall before jumping toward the creature in the air. The Ghoulshade immediately flew away, but Ralph was ready for this; his Nexus energy gushed out from his body and took the form of an enormous arrow that flew after the monster.

BAM!!

The red energy arrow hit the monster before it could fly too far away and pinned it to the wall on the other side.

A thunderous scream that resembled that of a human rang out from the Ghoulshade as it tried to pull the energy arrow from its body.

“Knight, finish that damned thing off; you have five seconds, I’ll hold this worm till then!” Ralph shouted desperately before the Ghoulshade could break free from the energy arrow.
