CHAPTER 601: CHAPTER 403: NO LIGHT AREA AND THE HORROR SCREAM DEMON (PART 3)

They were very lucky; the No Light Area’s position in the Underground Maze changes randomly every day, and today it happened to be relatively close to the entrance.

The Priest responsible for filming had set up the Image Stone device early in the morning. People drank the Spiritual Enhancement Potion at the entrance of the No Light Area, and the Church even took the time to perform the entire Fire Injection Secret Ceremony for everyone. When everything was ready, the Church team, without carrying any torches, stepped into the No Light Area.

As they crossed the line between light and shadow, their vision was suddenly enveloped by boundless darkness, and they immediately felt the oppression.

At that moment, a wave of golden light rippled through the air, instantly dispelling the pressure in their hearts.

Albud cursed inwardly, wondering what level of magic the expert from the Royal City had used to help people resist the pressure.

If only he could separate from the team...

"Hey, it’s just a bit darker here, it’s not that scary. Remember to capture me looking cool," Hade confidently walked in front.

Lica, positioned in the middle of the team, shivered a bit upon entering the darkness, but didn’t otherwise react to the No Light Area.

The group slowly advanced, with Monsters occasionally appearing: rotting pigmen, writhing slimes, moving skeletons—these Monsters all took on forms that leaned towards Horror, which could psychologically stress just by looking at them.

What’s more, this group of Monsters liked to howl chaotically. Already tense in the darkness, people would genuinely be frightened by the sudden outbursts.

However, the invisible expert from the Royal City would always cast magic, repeatedly relieving the group’s mental stress.

Albud calculated the time, thinking that according to previous experiments, people should have encountered the first pressure test by now.

Yet, with the invisible expert’s interference, everyone was still lively and active.

Dammit, ruining the plan...

He had no choice but to consider the possibility of failure today. Just then, a new Monster appeared.

"Ah—"

A colossal scream that could almost pierce eardrums abruptly resounded within the maze. Everyone who heard it fell into a temporary stupor, even Lica, who had been unfazed by the external world before, frowned!

Albud glanced at the surrounding air, shocked to find that the invisible expert didn’t immediately use magic to alleviate everyone’s psychological pressure!

So, even you can get caught off guard.

A bird-like Monster suddenly plummeted from above, swooping down on a Priest and bellowing with an ear-piercing cry unbearable to humans!

Blood gushed from where the Priest had openings in their body, creating an extremely horrifying scene.

This is the classic Monster of the No Light Area—[Horror Scream Demon]!

It uses its scream and body to attack adventurers. If the adventurer is fortunate, upon hearing its scream, they might instantly have a drastic change in disposition! Comparable to being tortured!

When the Horror Scream Demon appeared, another classic Monster of the No Light Area, the [Limp Walker], surrounded the Church’s team with a group of small Limp Walkers.

Chaos erupted as the Monsters danced wildly and howled.

"Be alert!" Hade commanded, "Show them our most Fearless side. We must annihilate the Monsters, none of you are allowed to die!"

The Horror Scream Demon was suddenly struck by something, causing it to stagger backward repeatedly. It was the invisible expert; she was angry!

With this expert, Hade was definitely unafraid, leading everyone to charge towards the Limp Walkers.

At that moment, strange noises sounded from the darkness.

Like a frenzied hermit uttering something.

"Hehehe, blonde man and brown-haired woman, beware what’s above and below, this is a foretelling disaster!"

"What?"

The blonde man, a Holy Light Knight, had just realized something when a large quantity of debris suddenly fell from above. A Giant Stone even struck his head, causing instant concussion.

But who was the brown-haired woman?

The ground in front of the Horror Scream Demon suddenly cracked, and the Screaming Demon, which had been attacked by "air," suddenly broke free and charged at the crowd.

Albud suddenly realized: the brown-haired woman referred to the invisible expert!

She fell!

In the darkness, an insane old man wearing a tattered wooden shackle and holding two eyeballs in his hand chuckled maniacally.

This is the Monster [Noisy Prophet].
