Creatures like cats and dogs, no matter how enhanced, ultimately have a limit. Even if their size increases, they pose no threat.
But the influence of this black mist definitely extends beyond mere cats and dogs.
Humans, monsters, superhumans...
All are within the mist's range of influence!
Outside the museum in Xihong City, a stone statue of a winged ghoul stood. It had rested there peacefully for a century.
No one knew that it was actually a gargoyle.
The ghoul's ferocious appearance might lead many to believe they are evil monsters, but in reality, they have no concept of good or evil.
They usually appear outside a certain location, or around a treasure. What they protect is irrelevant; they simply enjoy the feeling of guarding something.
As for what that something is, it matters not to them.
For this purpose, they can remain motionless in one place for thousands of years.
As the black mist spread, the gargoyle paid it no mind. However, when black patterns began to creep across its body, it sensed something was wrong.
It suddenly transformed from a stone statue into a ferocious monster. This monster rampaged around, but no matter what it did, it couldn't shake off the black patterns.
So, it soared into the sky, attempting to escape the black mist's range. But as soon as it reached mid-air, it plummeted down, smashing a newspaper kiosk.
By the time it got up, the black patterns had covered its entire body, and its size had increased.
Then, the gargoyle flapped its wings and flew off in one direction. Now, it had only one thought: to conquer everything for the great, pervasive angel!
Many other monsters in Xihong City shared the same thought. Before Maiyami was fully restored, countless small monsters had been spawned, and now all these small monsters were put to use.
Their strength had all increased by at least one level, and they feared no death.
The black mist permeated the city center. At the building where demon hunters gathered, a pale blue barrier rose, temporarily isolating the mist from the outside.
The barrier had been set up by the barrier master before they left Xihong City. The demon hunters inside the building had merely activated it.
The nature of the mist had yet to be determined, and the demon hunters dared not let it enter the building.
Xun Ying stood atop the building and threw out a long sword, letting it hover above the building. With this sword present, the building was a temporary sanctuary, and all evil spirits were unable to invade.
Then, Xun Ying shot into the sky, transforming into a beam of sword light, flying towards the center of the mist.
The central building was protected by a barrier, and with Xun Ying's protection, other areas lacked such conveniences.
Assistants and low-level demon hunters below the disaster class all began to exhibit black patterns.
Nearby disaster-class demon hunters immediately knocked out these demon hunters affected by the black mist and sent them to the underground of various strongholds, where powerful purification devices were located.
To deal with sudden incidents, every hunter association stronghold was equipped with magic arrays that could shield against abnormal energies, purification devices, or superpower items.
Some of these were powerful, others weak, but each stronghold had at least one.
Yet, even so, the demon hunters outside suffered heavy losses. At least over half of the assistants and over thirty percent of the low-level demon hunters were affected by the black mist, charging out of their prepared bases to a certain location to serve the pervasive angel, Maiyami.
This was the might of a disaster-class powerhouse. Their main body hadn't even appeared, yet they had caused tremendous losses to the hunter association.
Fortunately, the association had already forcibly evacuated all civilians from Liaozhou City and Xihong City. Otherwise, with just that patch of mist, Maiyami would have gained millions of human soldiers.
Affected by the black mist, all locations within Xihong City that guarded flesh parts ceased to function.
The flesh parts, which had been suppressed all along, broke free from their restraints and sped through the black mist. Their target was the pervasive angel's main body!
Bo Wen's body trembled slightly. Invisible energy blocked the surrounding black mist. He looked with a darkened expression at those flesh parts, but he did not intervene, for it was already too late.
No wonder the pervasive angel did not specifically target and retrieve those flesh parts. It did not need to find these items one by one; as long as it recovered to a certain extent, no one would be able to restrain its flesh any longer. Sudan Novel Network.
In Xihong City, in the direction of Liaozhou City, there was a massive vortex formed by black mist. A hundred meters above the vortex, a figure with eight wings floated. This figure was the pervasive angel, Maiyami.
Compared to his last meeting with Wen Wen, Maiyami now appeared more complete. Flesh parts, from all directions, pierced through the clouds and landed on him.
Skin, eyes, hair, nose, mouth… As those flesh parts gradually gathered, Maiyami looked increasingly complete.
When the wound on his forehead, which he had inflicted himself, healed, he looked like a complete fallen angel.
The true-order-class black mist that had been manipulated by Wen Wen earlier landed on Maiyami and transformed into a pure black robe.
Maiyami poked his temple, his expression grim. "All of it should have been gathered. Why are there still two pieces of brain missing?"
"After this is over, I'll eat that little fallen angel to make up for it."
Then, Maiyami raised his right hand. The black mist that had already enveloped two cities and their surrounding areas rapidly gathered towards Maiyami's palm, eventually condensing into a black spear.
This was Maiyami's weapon, the Spear of Mist!
Maiyami raised the Spear of Mist, and then a plain long sword suddenly slashed at the spear. The shockwave generated by the collision of the two weapons caused the buildings a hundred meters below to collapse directly.
"Young man, your killing intent is a bit too obvious."
"My killing intent is obvious, but I can kill you!" Xun Qing said coldly.
Maiyami's lips curved upwards. His revival had taken so long; it was expected that a disaster-class powerhouse would come to intercept him.
When he was still a flesh part, a small piece of his brain had infiltrated a demon hunter's mind. He knew that the current hunter association was a behemoth far more powerful than the Church of Glorious Glory two thousand years ago.
If the delay was too long, other disaster-class powerhouses would surely arrive, and among them might be those who could utterly kill Maiyami.
Therefore, if Wen Wen hadn't appeared these past two days, Maiyami's first action after recovering would have been to indulge in a spree of killing, then he would have ambushed Chan Zu, and finally, he would have fled directly, making it impossible for the hunter association's psychics to track him.
But after hearing Wen Wen's plan, a wave of ambition ignited in his chest.
This time, he didn't want to flee anymore. He wanted to completely defeat Chan Zu, and then obtain what he desired from Chan Zu.
As for this disaster-class swordsman…
He would simply serve as a witness to Maiyami's breakthrough into a higher realm!
