Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 402: After Processing 361
The voice that came from the psychic feedback had a familiar quality to it for Bai E—
The essence of fear...
Was it the Archdemon of Fear, whose body he had crushed directly in the material world?
It was a bona fide high-dimensional demon in its own right, capable of being killed in the material world only to retreat to high-dimensional space, where it could gather strength to resurrect. And upon resurrection, it could even retain some memories from before its death.
And now... had that demon already resurrected?
But what of it? Having killed you once, I can kill you a second time.
Bai E collected his thoughts, completely unconcerned.
"Whoosh~"
Space collapsed abruptly.
As the blood pool was completely shattered and closed, the material world that had been corrupted by it also revealed the actual impact of the destruction it had wrought.
The existence of the blood pool was half illusory, half real; it was not easy for sentient beings to enter its illusory core to strangle the heart of its power. Yet, the real aspect had forever changed parts of the material world, and a force from the higher dimension sought to sweep away even more of the basic matter from the material world.
The wind swept through, and the earth fell into ruin.
The Spiritual Energy dispersed in the air prematurely reflected this potential outcome within Bai E’s consciousness. Thus, the moment he raised his iron rod and pierced the blood pool, he lightly leaped backward, leaving the range of the disturbance.
"Boom boom boom!"
The ongoing sound of collapse was enormous, falling behind the figure standing at the brink, becoming mere background.
Only now, at the conclusion of the event, did all the players, including Franca and the three natives of Grey Iron City, finally shift their thoughts away from the abrupt crisis, realizing who the core protagonist of this incident was.
He had almost single-handedly repelled this invasion from the high-dimensional space. They had struggled so hard to defeat a few lesser demons, and what about this man?
"Bai is so powerful~" Nova, who had regained some semblance of her strength, sat on a discarded stone, her hands cradling her face, her eyes adoringly fixed on the figure swallowed by the darkness.
["Lucky Strike" charge +12.]
The number was not large, but the amount of charge provided was surprisingly high.
"..." Bai E silently swept the scattered figures in the dim night around him, turning his focus to the panel notification he received.
[Side quest—Stop the demon invasion, completed.]
[Mission reward: Spiritual Energy +10, Spiritual Energy Skill—High-Dimensional Walking, granted.]
Pure power transformed directly into Bai E’s Spiritual Energy and integrated into his system. The 100 points of war Spiritual Energy that had exploded from the Demon Prince were similarly ground into the purest essence of power by the soul’s black hole grinder.
Endless power filled Bai E’s body. He had never felt such an abundance of power surging within him, even though he had just been through a great battle, he was still far more powerful than ever before.
Glimmering mist light concentrated in Bai E’s eyes, then vanished in an instant.
Bai E stepped forward towards Franca, his expression stern.
The event of the demon invasion itself was resolved, but the influence of the demons was far from over. These beings, adept at corrupting the heart, always inflicted the least physical destruction among the harms they caused.
Those lured by the invaded blood pool, those who had witnessed the true form of the Demon Prince, would suffer endless temptations in the times ahead.
In Black Street, where people had been corrupted by only lower demons, the rate of corruption was terrifying. Not to mention these core war demons, or even the Demon Prince who had ascended from humanity, the consequences of directly gazing upon them were far more severe than any prior influences.
What to do with these people was a big problem.
In this matter, Franca was obviously the expert among all present.
"Those people, how do you want to deal with them?" Bai E asked directly.
As he spoke, his gaze flicked over those who lay scattered around in the dimness of night like lifeless bodies.
Franca looked intently at Bai E in front of her, her expression serious, "These people, they cannot be saved."

It seemed as though the physical structure of the abandoned factory blocked their view, preventing these people from directly facing the blood pool; they were knocked unconscious by Nova before that could happen. However, in reality... the half-illusory blood pool was exceedingly conspicuous in each of their spiritual worlds, which is why they were drawn to come together before the situation fully escalated.
This direct invasion by a high-dimensional phenomenon was far more serious than the consequences of directly witnessing any demon in its true form. What’s more, those who were attracted on their own were already on the verge of falling; after this ordeal, being corrupted into demonic minions was almost certain.
Having encountered this high-dimensional anomaly, 99.99 percent of them would fall due to the impure whispers from the high dimension, with hardly any chance of luck.
Never mind any talk of natural talent; under such circumstances, the more gifted they were, the easier it was for them to become mortal vessels for powerful demons, and channels for high-dimensional invasions.
"For these people, we have only one solution in our place..."
"Kill them?"
"Close enough..." Franca sighed lightly, her eyes showing a hint of pity, "More thorough than simply killing them, use the soul furnace..." Enjoy new tales from novelbuddy
This device was too cruel for ordinary people. Even though Franca had had some interactions with Bai E before and discussed some matters related to Spiritual Energy, she had never revealed this secret generally known only to the executors of the Arbitration Place.
