With the number of unexpected intruders appearing one after another, Heidi was starting to feel nervous!

Because she knew that these things, which resembled humans but were not, were far more powerful than the cultist she had dealt with before.

That cultist was just a human who had made a pact with a Deep Abyss demon. Even if he had some skills, he was still just a fragile mortal in essence. Dealing with him in her "professional field" was not too difficult!

But these black-clad "people" were different—they were not human at all!

They were the remnants of the Sun's progeny, messengers and kin derived from that deformed and terrifying thing in the sky.

In essence, these things even belonged to a part of the Creeping Star, an extension of that ancient god's power!

These creatures had no normal thought activities, nor a personality structure that mortals could understand. Heidi, as a psychiatrist, found that the knowledge and skills she possessed were of limited use when dealing with this kind of enemy!

But the psychiatrist still took a deep breath and calmed down, gripping the golden cone tightly in her hand!

The Sun's progeny did not accept negotiations with mortals. Their hatred of intelligent beings was unconditional and indiscriminate.

There was no other way but to fight. What's more... there was also a powerful witch here, Lucretia.

The lady seemed to know her father. Although she was a bit scary, in this situation, she wouldn't just watch her die here, would she?

A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind. The next second, Heidi noticed that the figure of a black-clad "person" suddenly blurred in her vision, and a sense of crisis suddenly struck!

The blurred shadow disappeared into the air. Almost at the same time, Heidi felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

She slowly lowered her head and saw a tentacle piercing through her torso, tearing open a fatal wound!

The attacker's vague figure faintly appeared at the other end of the tentacle at this moment!

A golden cone instantly stabbed from the side as one of her personified aspects lunged at the tentacle. The golden cone thrust sharply through the air.

It pierced the hazy figure directly. The latter suffered some damage and let out a strange roar, retreating backward!

Heidi's body slowly fell to the side, but before she hit the ground, her main consciousness transferred to another personified aspect beside her. The moment the transfer was complete, she waved the golden cone in her hand…

...stabbing towards another approaching shadow!

At the same time, she quickly raised the revolver in her other hand, pressed it against her temple, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

A new personality fragment appeared behind her, quickly filling the mental entity she had just lost!

At the same time, more black-clad figures rushed towards Lucretia, who was the obvious bigger threat—shadows shuttled through the forest, as if walking in the cracks between light and shadow. Various tangible and intangible forces swarmed towards where Lucretia was standing, tearing the air, shattering the ground, and leaving behind corrosion!

Lucretia's figure, however, passed through all the attacks as if she were an illusion, and quickly approached one of the attackers from behind. Before the black-clad freak could react, she placed a finger near its shoulder!

The freak let out a piercing roar. Accompanied by this ear-splitting noise, which was almost unbearable for humans, a string of garbled sounds seemed to echo directly in their minds.

The sounds entered both Heidi and Lucretia's minds: "You saw him. You must die here."

"No one wants to see your deformed and hateful 'kin'," Lucretia said, shaking her head coldly.

Now, it's time to bloom...

The black-clad freak suddenly raised its arm, and an invisible shadow condensed into the shape of some kind of ritual tool within its coat.

But Lucretia had already retreated lightly several meters away!

And at the spot where her finger had touched, a strange color suddenly appeared on the black-clad person's shoulder.

Immediately afterward, that color, like paint, spread rapidly, becoming animated, and turning into countless vibrant flowers and wildly growing vines in the blink of an eye.

Countless dense plants grew out of this humanoid body. Accompanied by the terrifying sound of flesh tearing and grinding, the remnants of the Sun's progeny were devoured in an instant!

However, along with the fall of this attacker, the sounds of denser air being torn and the aura of gathering shadows came from all directions!

Under the sunlight, in the dense forest, several more tall figures wearing black coats and exuding a strange and ominous aura emerged out of thin air, approaching Lucretia and Heidi step by step, forming an encirclement!

Behind these figures, in the places where the sunlight shone, more shadows were gathering, and more attackers were entering this dream.

Lucretia frowned subconsciously, but before she could think about how these attackers were pouring into this dream in large numbers, a new attack arrived!

Several black-clad freaks appeared beside her in an instant, taking advantage of the cracks between light and shadow!

Lucretia was already prepared. The moment the enemies appeared, the baton had reappeared in her hand, and she pointed it at the enemy closest to her. However, just as she was about to release the curse.

A slight dizziness suddenly appeared and delayed her movement!

The sharp sound of wind swept past her ears. Lucretia broke free from the dizziness at the instant she was about to be attacked, and transformed into countless colorful paper scraps, flying to the side. Then, her figure appeared from the colors, and she looked in a certain direction at once!

A blurry and distorted plume of smoke appeared because of her "gaze." The smoke rose and writhed in the air, like a strangely shaped jellyfish. A pitch-black chain extended from the jellyfish's body, extending to a young man who was emerging out of thin air!

At almost the same time, one of Heidi's personified aspects had already been severely injured. She was blasted away by an invisible force, and half of her body was almost torn apart. But before this aspect dissipated, she still mustered her last strength to raise her hand and fire three consecutive shots at the smoke jellyfish that had appeared out of thin air.

"Ms. Lucretia, this is the intruder I mentioned to you."

"You didn't need to use such drastic measures to talk to me." Lucretia stared blankly at the personified aspect, which fell not far in front of her and gradually dissipated with a deathly stare. She couldn't help but mutter softly.

Then she suddenly raised the "baton" in her hand to block a sharp, thorny tentacle that was stabbing towards her, and at the same time, she looked up at the Annihilation cultist who had suddenly revealed himself. It seemed that the madmen who followed the Deep Abyss Lord had joined forces with the madmen who followed the Black Sun?

"I wasn't planning on showing myself, but now it seems that our temporary ally does need a little help."

The Annihilation cultist, still wearing the blue uniform of a medical facility worker but with a completely changed face, stood high up and said with a leisurely smile. The three shots fired by Heidi's personified aspect before her death did not cause any damage to the smoke jellyfish at all. His gaze swept over the psychiatrist and the sea witch, who were gradually showing signs of decline under the siege of the "remnants," and then he looked up at the terrifying Sun's progeny in the sky, nodding slightly!

"I hope you will keep your promise. We will continue to 'dig deeper'!"

The "sun" that hung quietly high in the sky did not give any response, but the "sunlight" that enveloped the entire forest was obviously a few degrees hotter than before!

Keep the promise? Dig deeper?

Lucretia instantly noticed the two words mentioned by the Annihilation cultist, but she didn't have time to think about it. Another black-clad "remnant" had already teleported to her side!

Taking advantage of an insidious blind spot, the freak raised its arm, and several "limbs" with sharp blades and thorns swept towards Lucretia.

Lucretia's figure suddenly dissipated into colors and solidified several meters away. At the same time, she had already raised the baton in her hand, pointing it at the enemy from afar!

However, the next second, the enemy in her eyes blurred for a moment and had already turned into another figure.

Tirian's figure appeared there, looking at her in surprise!

"Lucy, you're in trouble..."

Lucretia's baton suddenly turned into an exaggerated scythe, and then she raised this terrifying weapon high, slashing it down on "Tirian's" head without hesitation!

"Just these little tricks?" With the enemy cut in half with a single strike, Lucretia smiled as some blood stained her face. She turned her head and looked at the Annihilation cultist standing in the distance, "Do you usually bully ordinary people with weak minds so often that you've gotten used to it?"

The Annihilation cultist did not speak. The smoke jellyfish floating beside him suddenly contracted and swelled. Immediately afterward, Lucretia heard the sound of wind in her ears. She turned her head and saw that her clockwork doll "Luni," who had served her for many years, was standing not far away with a blank and frightened expression!

The scythe was raised without hesitation, and Luni's figure was cut into scattered gears and ceramic fragments. And these frightening fragments turned into turbid flesh and blood before they hit the ground!

The next second, Talan Er's figure replaced a "black-clad remnant" and appeared in front of Lucretia.

She raised her hand and slashed without hesitation—while constantly slashing, she walked step by step towards the Annihilation cultist who was disrupting the scene!

The figure of the rabbit Rabi appeared, and she was cut into two pieces without hesitation!

Sarah Mael, the governor of Lightwind Port, appeared before her, and she still slashed with one strike!

Looking at the Annihilation cultist, who was gradually revealing a look of panic.

The sea witch only showed a hint of contempt in her eyes!

Another slight crackling noise appeared nearby. Lucretia looked up and saw her father appear before her!

She finally hesitated for a moment. The tension and fear that were almost deeply rooted in her soul made her stop for the first time!

But the next second, she shook her head vigorously, throwing all the hesitation behind her, and raised the scythe in her hand high!

"This psychological attack has improved, but it's far from enough."

The scythe slashed down!

Lucretia didn't notice the moment of bewilderment on the Annihilation cultist's face not far away!

She saw the ghostly green flames that suddenly spontaneously ignited on her scythe!

The "illusion of her father" in front of her raised his hand, pinched the blade of the scythe, and looked at her with surprise!

"Lucy, are you confused?"

Lucretia froze stiffly!

This... this is real!
