Chapter 668 - 266: The Final Battle! Meeting Ye Wujiang Again

He slipped into Yui Hanyi’s shadow, about to unleash an attack from within to severely injure him.

However, in the next moment, Lektorn’s movements froze.

He was horrified to discover that his vaunted Shadow Concealment Skill had spun completely out of control the instant he drew near his target!

He felt as if he was no longer in control!

He was even being... assimilated, devoured by the other’s darkness!

’This is bad!’

Alarm bells screamed in Lektorn’s mind. He made a split-second decision to pull back.

But it was too late.

Yui Hanyi didn’t even turn around.

The patch of darkness at his feet simply roiled violently, like boiling water.

Lektorn let out a blood-curdling scream as the half of his body made of shadow dissolved and peeled away in an instant, like a wax figure doused in concentrated sulfuric acid!

He shot backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily over a hundred meters away. His aura instantly weakened to a critical low.

In a single exchange, one of the three giants of the Dragon’s Nest was grievously wounded and forced out of the battle!

"Lektorn!"

In just half a day, Regner had grown close with Lektorn, even starting to call him a brother.

A friendship between men can sometimes blossom that quickly.

Seeing his brother so severely injured, Regner’s eyes looked ready to split from their sockets. His one good eye was instantly filled with boundless fury!

"You’re courting death!!!"

Amidst his furious roar, his muscles bulged another size. Magma-like crimson patterns began to appear on his once dark-red skin, and plumes of scorching steam rose from his body!

Rage made the dragon blood within him boil completely!

His power and speed skyrocketed exponentially!

BOOM!

The ground shattered as Regner’s figure blurred into an afterimage, charging toward Yui Hanyi once more!

This time, his fists were covered in a layer of dark-red energy that seemed to be condensed from pure, tangible rage!

"Wind King’s Eye of Word Spirit!"

High above, Liliana’s voice rang out again.

This time, she wasn’t providing support; she chose to attack!

In an instant, the Wind Element within a thousand-meter radius was completely drained, coalescing before her into over a hundred rapidly spinning cyan Wind Blades. They shot toward Yui Hanyi like a dense downpour, blanketing the sky!

Faced with this torrential onslaught, Yui Hanyi finally moved.

He slowly raised his head.

From beneath the shadow of his hood, two faint, ghostly lights seemed to cross the distance of space, passing over the charging Regner and ignoring the sky full of Wind Blades...

...finally landing on the figure high above, the one overlooking the battlefield like a god.

Lin Ye...

’Found him.’

’The target the organizers want defeated for this selection.’

At the same time, Lin Ye also made a sharp discovery.

’Even in the midst of such a chaotic battle, he actually found the time to notice me?’

Their gazes met silently in mid-air.

There wasn’t much emotion.

Only a... fateful sort of confirmation.

The next moment, Yui Hanyi withdrew his gaze, as if he had just confirmed some trivial matter.

Then, the darkness at his feet expanded madly at an incomprehensible speed!

In an instant, it was as if someone had flipped a switch on the world.

Light and sound were instantly erased by an invisible hand.

Regner’s furious roar, Liliana’s hurried draconic words, the shriek of Wind Blades slicing through the air... everything fell into dead silence in that instant.

The enormous platform at the entrance of the Dragon’s Nest, along with the surrounding several thousand meters of space, was instantly and completely swallowed... by an absolute, pure night!

"ROAR...!"

"This is...!"

From within the darkness came the faint, final gasps of surprise from Regner and Liliana, and then there was nothing.

...

「Longyin Academy, conference room.」

On the central light screen, that familiar, pure black image appeared once again.

"Again?! The hell!"

Sun Lie was displeased. "Every time it gets exciting, he turns off the lights! What the hell are we supposed to watch?!"

It was like this with Xiao Lingchen, and now it’s happening again!

Can’t this Yui Hanyi just fight with the lights on?!

"Don’t be hasty."

Hou Guanghe’s expression, however, was more solemn than ever before.

He ignored Sun Lie’s complaints and simply instructed Yi Jiugao beside him in a deep voice, "Switch the signal source. Connect to the terminal Yui Hanyi himself is wearing and activate first-person view!"

"Yes, sir!"

Yi Jiugao immediately got to work.

A few seconds later, the black screen flickered and the image finally... returned.

However, the moment they saw the scene on the screen clearly, a collective gasp echoed through the conference room.

Even Sun Lie choked back the rest of his complaint.

On the screen, the dark-red sky of the Dragon’s Nest was gone.

In its place was a deep, maddening, dark-purple vortex that occupied the entire sky. It spun slowly, radiating an aura of misfortune and calamity.

And at the very center of that vortex, a colossal eyeball, impossible to describe with words, stared down indifferently at everything below.

The eye had no pupil, only a swirling chaos. But merely looking at it made one feel as if their soul was being ripped out, their Spirit twisted and corrupted by an unseen force!

On the ground, Regner and Liliana were frozen in place, their draconic pupils filled with terror and confusion, as if they had lost all their senses and were trapped in the deepest of nightmares.

But what was even more horrifying were the things constantly seeping, squirming, and spawning from the ground and the void.

They were writhing masses of rotten flesh, pieced together from countless twisted limbs and shrieking maws...
