The pitch-black cloak fluttered in the wind like fragments of darkness, drifting away.
“Ugh…!”
A short, low moan sounded in the surroundings.
Beneath that flash of lightning, the tall, cold, and merciless man appeared as if a huge steel blade had struck his shoulder. His entire left side, from neck to waist, was neatly slashed, shoulder and all.
Though no blood flowed and no human entrails could be seen from the wound, only a mass of pitch-black darkness, the man was nearly split in two. He jumped back urgently, his left side barely held up by a strip of flesh.
“You…!”
The man glared at Fang Li with eyes full of killing intent.
Bearing the swamp-like, sticky killing intent, Fang Li merely held his dagger as he looked at the man’s nearly bisected body, and spoke with a smile on his face.
“Such a wound should be nothing to you, right?”
“Member of the Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors, Nrvnqsr Chaos.”
[Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors.]
This title refers to the twenty-seven most ancient and powerful Dead Apostles, the source of all Dead Apostles.
And the man before him was indeed the tenth of the Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors- [Nrvnqsr Chaos].
“Those wild beasts just now were monsters formed by the 666 wild beast factors in your ‘Lair of the Beast King’?”
Fang Li skillfully twirled his Moonlight Dagger and spoke with a faint smile.
“As a Reality Marble ability, it doesn’t seem very impressive.”
The so-called Reality Marble ability, also known as the **Innate Barrier Scenery Manifestation**, refers to a high-level magic that manifests the user’s inner landscape and alters reality.
Once activated, this magecraft transforms the surrounding space into the user’s mental landscape, which makes it equivalent to a small independent world.
Within this independent world, the creator wields immense power.
As such, Reality Marbles are hailed as the closest thing to true magic, and their existence is limited by the world itself. The creation of a Reality Marble requires enormous energy and cost and usually lasts only a few minutes at most.
Due to this, Reality Marble is typically a power used by spirits and devils, with only a handful of human magi able to wield it. Even among the Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors, only about half can use a Reality Marble.
Nrvnqsr is one such Dead Apostle capable of using a Reality Marble.
His Reality Marble, “Lair of the Beast King,”, allows him to absorb the factors of 666 wild beasts into his body, forming a vortex.
This allows him to create wild beasts from these factors at will and use them for scouting and combat. His existence is similar to chaos, which gives him 666 lives. Even if a wild beast is destroyed outside of his body, its factor will immediately return to him and resurrect it.
Therefore, in order to kill Nrvnqsr, one must destroy all 666 of his lives in one instant, otherwise he is unkillable.
In other words, Nrvnqsr’s Reality Marble resides within his body.
The darkness under his coat— that is Nrvnqsr’s chaos.
Because Nrvnqsr hides his Reality Marble within himself, his “Lair of the Beast King” avoids the world’s corrections, allowing him continuous use.
This is one of the main reasons Nrvnqsr ranks tenth among the Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors.
Unfortunately, in Fang Li’s eyes, this ability was unimpressive.
“If you want to deal with me, at least use something on the level of a Demon Beast. Thinking that you can solve everything with wild beasts is too optimistic.”
Truth be told, the wild beasts created from Nrvnqsr’s reality marble often far surpass ordinary wild beasts in power and ability.
For example, the elephant-sized tiger is a creature that cannot be found anywhere in the world, and its threat far exceeds that of a typical tiger.
But a wild beast is still just a wild beast, and these wild beasts rely on their bodies and instincts to fight, without any special powers.
In the nature of this world, there are creatures of a higher rank than wild beasts, some of which exist only in fantasy and legend.
Some of these creatures have evolved due to changes in the ecosystem, some have emerged from human imagination, some have become extraordinarily powerful due to their long lives, and some have appeared due to natural mutations.
These creatures that have transcended the realm of wild beasts and possess immense power are known as **Demon Beasts**.
Entities such as werewolves and fairies are considered Demon Beasts.
Above the Demon Beasts, there are beings such as Pegasus, Hippogriff, and even Dragon Species, which are called **Impossible Existence** or **Phantasmal Beasts**, and they are all collectively called **Phantasmal Beasts**.
In addition to the Phantasmal Beasts, there are beings that are recorded in various myths and legends, each with their own unique names. Sometimes these creatures serve as mounts for Divine Spirits, partners for heroes, symbols of disaster, or guardians of the earth – these are the **Divine Beasts**.
Of course, Divine Beasts only exist in mythology, and Phantasmal Beasts are also considered impossible existences. Even Demon Beasts have begun to disappear, retreating to regions inaccessible to humans and becoming mere figments of fantasy.
However, putting aside the ranks of Fantasy and Divine Beasts, Demon Beasts at least are confirmed to still exist in some corners of the world, according to the Magecraft world.
“You are the tenth of the Dead Apostle Twenty-Seven Ancestors, right?”
Fang Li smiled slightly at Nrvnqsr as he asked this question.
“So why not try to use your Reality Marble to create a Demon Beast-level monster for me to see?”
Fang Li’s provocation successfully struck a chord with Nrvnqsr.
As a result, Nrvnqsr raised his head and looked at Fang Li.
“Hū—-!”
With a gust of wind, Nrvnqsr’s coat spread out to its fullest extent.
From the pitch-black silhouette of his body, numerous ferocious beasts suddenly appeared.
“Rooooooaaaaar—-!”
Many terrifying roars echoed through the sky.
The ferocious beasts that emerged from Nrvnqsr’s body included wolves, leopards, tigers, and hounds, numbering in the hundreds. They formed a sea of beasts that shook the ground and they all rushed towards Fang Li like a black wave as soon as they appeared.
The scene resembled a stampeding herd, filling the entire forest path in an instant.
Each of these ferocious beasts was huge.
The stampede of hundreds of beasts surged towards Fang Li, roaring as they charged.
In response, the corners of Fang Li’s mouth lifted.
“Finally, something worth seeing…”
Fang Li lifted the cold dagger, which gleamed with a curve of light.
