Kurosawa became more vigilant, but he did not forget that his primary mission on this trip was to rescue the missing female agent.

He left aside the prison pitcher plants he encountered along the way.

Finally, we came to the depths of the swamp. There was a dry and hard flat land between the mud, which was a gathering place for human activities.

But what he saw shocked him.

The environment here is extremely harsh, with dark purple miasma lingering and visibility extremely low.

In his perception, there were many human skeletons buried in the surrounding mud.

In the open space, some injured people were trapped in cages, and some were tied to pillars like dogs. Most of them had mutilated limbs, missing arms and legs, and their skin began to emit pus due to the damp environment.

Blisters, completely ulcerated.

In the center of the gathering place was a black altar, where many people wearing white robes gathered.

Kurosawa took a deep breath and restrained himself to regain his composure. However, the abnormal mist he inhaled in his nasal cavity caused fantasies to appear in front of his eyes, and strange images passed by like silhouettes.

His eyelids gradually became heavy.

Some higher dimensional consciousness seemed to be trying to take over him on a spiritual level!

not good!

Just when he was shocked and ready to take action.

The ram's horn mark on the back of the hand emitted golden light as if it had been provoked. The moment the golden light spread, all illusions burst like bubbles.

Kurosawa's consciousness regained its clarity.

call--

Kurosawa knew that he might have alerted an unknown entity hiding in the darkness.

Now I looked into the distance and saw a woman lying flat on the black altar.

Her face was extremely fervent, and the believers gathered around her were also infected with a bit of abnormal madness.

It was her. Kurosawa recalled the photo provided by the captain of the detective team earlier. The appearance of the missing person was no different from her.

It's just that in the photo, she had a quiet temperament, but now her hair is disheveled and she is mumbling to herself. In the dark and dank environment, she is a bit unspeakably weird. After just a few glances, people can't help but feel a chill running down their spines.

Kurosawa reached out and took out the flash card, summoning the Son of the Shining.

【Zeus】!

There was a flash of golden light, and a bolt of lightning seemed to fall from the sky, illuminating the gloomy muddy rainforest.

Along with the fusion of the Son of Shining, the golden-blue lightning energy wrapped around Kurosawa's body docilely, like an arm.

Although this joint ability, which is similar to possession, has not been used for a long time, the daily training in the past has allowed him to quickly control lightning in the first place.

The little Shining evolved into a four-star elf, making him a lot stronger in Zeus state.

Kurosawa kicked his legs and feet, jumped up from the muddy water, and stepped on a tree trunk nearby.

The condensed thunder and lightning under his feet exploded.

The fire exploded, the bark of the tree cracked, and with the help of the huge explosive force, Kurosawa's body turned into an invisible bolt of lightning, which directly spanned a distance of several hundred meters.

"Bold!

"

Beside the altar, the believers who were performing sacrifices devoutly also suddenly woke up.

What they saw made their eyes wide open and their eyes were about to burst.

Several skeletal elves pounced, but Kurosawa's speed was too fast.

The elves jumped into the air and passed through the afterimage in the sky of Kurosawa.

Kurosawa accurately landed in the center of the altar.

Not sure if it was his imagination, he vaguely heard an angry voice coming from the sky.

After a while.

A feeling of being watched came from all around, along with a tide of malice.

"I am Bo, the devourer. Retreat quickly and forgive your transgression!"

The wind blew away the remaining clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened.

The surrounding believers hurriedly knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.

Kurosawa looked up at the sky and was stunned for a moment, but his expression soon returned to normal.

He had never heard of this Devourer and didn't know its origins.

Although it appeared with great fanfare, he could hear the eroticism in its words and felt guilty.

If it had the ability to stop him, it would definitely not threaten him with words. Wouldn't it be easier to just take action directly?

As if he didn't hear anything, he looked at the female agent next to him who also had a pious face. He thought that she would definitely not follow him obediently in this state, so he slashed her neck with a quick knife and a wave of his hand.

Thunder and lightning were transmitted into her body along his palm, and the moderate electric current made her whole body stiff, her eyes turned white, and she fainted immediately.

This time it can be said that I was completely torn apart.

"Tear this arrogant person to pieces!" the mysterious elf who calls himself the Devourer gave the order, conveying his anger without any concealment.

The other believers quickly got up from the ground, along with a dozen skeletal elves.

The whistle was blown and spread along the swamp to the outside, and soon the entire swamp seemed to come alive.

The skeleton elves at the scene surrounded Kurosawa from all directions.

"The first series of tasks [Searching for the missing agent] has been completed. Congratulations on getting a reward of 300 coupons and an epiphany fragment of your choice*1."

The missing female agent was successfully found, and the system provided a reward neatly.

Kurosawa thought in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he already had a certain understanding of the contents of the reward.

The former is just a regular point reward, while the latter's epiphany fragments are truly extraordinary.

The epiphany fragment allows the elves to experience the feeling of a master-level elf in advance, and has a probability of promoting the elf to complete the transformation from high-level to super-level.

Compared with high-level elves, super-level elves have a deeper understanding of attribute energy and have reached a super-supernatural level.

In other words, breaking through this bottleneck requires the elves themselves to understand the nature of attributes, and as an elf master, we can only provide as much help as possible.

Needless to say, the effect of this kind of memory fragment that allows the elf to experience the master-level state in advance is unimaginable. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can be exchanged for a thousand dollars.

This is exactly what Kurosawa needs.

The little Shinings have the qualifications to reach the super level, but if there are external objects to assist them, it would be better if they can enter the super level earlier.

"We are loading the special mission [Master's Path] Phase 2 - [Fighting the Evil Spirit] for you. The evil spirit that suddenly appeared in front of you exudes deep malice. For the sake of your own safety, please kill its minions as soon as possible!"

The cold mechanical sound of the system continued to come out.

This happened just right, Kurosawa had no intention of leaving in the first place.

He looked around.

Just as he was thinking for a moment, several relatively small skeletal dogs had already approached Kurosawa.

Kurosawa threw the unconscious female agent he was supporting to the dream demon beside him.

The purple hand knife attached with thunder and lightning was brilliant, and the electric current of thunder surged violently. The golden light was clenched in his palm, releasing a sharp sound like a thousand birds singing in unison.

The perception of natural objects was fully bloomed, and the several skeletal dogs that jumped in front of them moved slowly in the air like a slow-motion lens in a movie.

Kurosawa raised the knife and lowered it, and the extremely sharp lightning in his hand penetrated the skeleton dog's waist and abdomen without any obstruction. After several thrusts, the several vicious dogs in the air lost their strength and became extremely weak.

fell to the ground.

Kurosawa glanced down at them and quickly looked away.

These skeleton elves look shocking, as if they are fragile candles that may wither in an instant, but in fact their vitality is much stronger than they appear.

He didn't hold back too much just now. The penetrating injury was only a minor injury to an advanced-stage elf, but the violent lightning blast was fatal.

If it were other elves at the same stage, they might just die.

The vitality of these skeletal dogs is still hanging on, surviving as tenaciously as weeds.

They are elves, but not regular elves. They seem to be contaminated by some special energy.

There is less spirituality of life and more resilience of being dead but not stiff.

Kurosawa burst forward, his body moving around in the open space as if teleporting.

Lightning struck the air.

Several more elves were stabbed cleanly by Kurosawa.

At this moment, Kurosawa was in a very bad mood, and even had a rare harsh emotion.

Surrounded by people with broken hands and legs and gray faces, even if he made such a big noise, he still didn't show much reaction to being saved. Instead, he showed a silly smile and clapped his hands like a child, as if watching. It feels like a rare pleasure.

Obviously, even if Kurosawa rescues them, it will be impossible for them, physically and mentally disabled, to return to normal life.
