On the road circling Memorial Square, students who had just left not long ago turned their heads one after another in response to this sudden change and looked towards the open-air giant screen. {Write to here I hope readers remember our domain name}
Their puzzled eyes soon turned serious.
The entire square became a cacophony of noise, with only the images on the screen constantly changing.
No one expected that the final stage of the shadow world would have such a major turning point!
Although Huberlian has taken cover for now.
But the students watching now were all terrified by the bloody scene that had suddenly appeared in the botanical garden.
Those who attack other challengers in the Shadow World are nothing short of deranged, notorious criminals with scarlet names.
Ignoring the potential disasters that a failure in the Shadow World might bring, ruthless and cruel villains often use small, temporary rifts appearing in the wilderness to infiltrate lower-ranked Shadow Worlds and carry out their murderous deeds.
They are particularly adept at disguising themselves, manipulating schemes, and even engaging in life-or-death battles with challengers. Moreover, due to their long history of hunting and plundering, both their physical strength and magical cards are formidable!
Generally speaking, encountering such a red-named criminal is a low-probability event, simply bad luck.
But Huerlyan's encounter with this, was most likely premeditated —
It's highly likely that someone is keeping tabs on the Duchess, and if they discover Huberlian heading towards the building that seals the Void Gate, they will alert others, possibly even assassins scattered across foreign lands who specialize in merging with the Shadow World. As long as there are enough of them, there's a high chance Huberlian will run into one!
"Wait, this disgusting mercury…"
An advanced intelligence student from the Lianjin Academy stood before an open-air giant screen, chin in hand, frowning at the silver mass being manipulated by a woman on the display.
Soon, the screen also displayed new information from the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association—

"The **ers from the Resurrection Church"
Suddenly, many upperclassmen shouted out in anger and surprise.
"Resurrection Church"
On the square, some freshmen seem to be a little confused about this term.
Before they received their registration as challengers, they had not truly experienced the real shadow world or its darkest depths.
They are a cult organization lurking above the North and South continents, like a swarm of relentless poisonous insects that have been active long before recorded history.
Even if the world perishes, and history breaks apart, they will never be extinguished!
...in the shadows of every era, this organization's presence can be found.
When it comes to the Revival Church, many senior students speak with gritted teeth, their trembling voices seeming to mix resentment and fear.
A large portion of the death rate in today's film world is related to the followers of the Resurrection cult.
Some extremely psychologically twisted devotees enjoy watching exhausted challengers die in despair from their humiliation, and they happily display it all for the world to see.
Even if a senior student at the Icteria Academy hasn't personally encountered followers of the Revenant cult, they've likely heard stories or know someone who has suffered at the hands of these fanatics, losing their youth to their cruelty.
The harm these cultists inflict extends far beyond the Shadow World. The Resurrection Church's impact on the real world is even more pervasive.
Although upperclassmen are reluctant to admit their fear of these cultists, the dangers of the Resurrection Church cannot be overlooked by freshmen.
Besides these inhumane cult members of the resurrection church.
What terrifies even the most powerful rulers of our time are the ten cardinals of the Resurrected Church, who walk like natural disasters and possess the power to bring about the ruin of nations.
They seem to be the embodiment of humanity's evil at its most extreme.
Even the Kingdom of Hulton wouldn't dare to provoke a visit from even a single bishop of the Resurrection Church.
"Miss Huberly… Why would she involve herself with this cult…"
For many freshmen, this is their first time seeing the figures of cult members firsthand.
Even across the magical screen, one could feel the malice accompanying death drawing closer.
"The Duke of Alansar's disappearance is likely connected to the Regenesis Cult."
Even many upperclassmen who knew plenty of gossip about the royal court finally understood one thing at this moment—those former Arlanzar nobles weren't unwilling to investigate the Duke's whereabouts; they were afraid to.
Lady Huberlianne must have known something she shouldn't have, that's why she had to be silenced.
For a moment, the entire Jeolla Memorial Square fell unusually silent.
All eyes were on Huberlian as the students watched intently.
Even though many students are quite prejudiced against Hubleyan, the half-demon.
Not a single student currently watching would wish for Huberly to die at the hands of these cultists!
……
Several minutes passed.
Demon Plant Experiment Garden.
The already invisible Huberlian coughed up blood in mid-air, struggling to control her body to regain balance before finally managing to land on the ground.
The figure battling Huberlyan grinned, charging at her once more.
Hubert's eyelids drooped, and a trickle of blood stained his lips.
Her body trembled violently, clearly nearing the breaking point of its physical burden.
Even seeing the enemy's movements, she was powerless to dodge, able only to parry with her dagger.
Then he was kicked hard in the leg.
He rolled around on the grass for a few times before stopping.
"Whew... Whew..."
Huibelyn struggled to sit up on the grass, feeling her head incredibly heavy from both her injuries and the poison mist.
Even with the temporary boost from the Demon Lord's Gift Restaurant's dishes, she was still no match for the fifth-tier cultist Rielle.
If the other party wasn't unwilling to give her a chance to hide and escape the classroom, they would have already sent the terrifying silver monstrosity used to block the door to devour her.
And behind this five-level cult member, there's a second-level sorcerer who will continuously try to cast control and debuff spells.
This botanical garden has become like a prison, with no escape.
Xueberlian knew that if she was hit with her last life card again, she would be close to death.
It must be that Lanchi has done too much bad, accumulating too much negative karma, which is why he's attracting such misfortune.
But now, all she can do is just one thing.
Hephaestion took a deep breath.
"Lanchi, save me!"
Hughes finally cried out in despair.
If he doesn't hurry over, I really can't hold on any longer.
Your companion
Theacolyte, Laila, chuckled. To her, Huberlian's cry for help sounded like the pathetic whimpering of a distressed infant.
A second-year student from the Iketerite Academy, they came only to accompany this duchess's daughter to the afterlife.
However.
Two seconds later.
With a thunderous roar, the botanical garden gate, previously blocked by a shimmering, otherworldlyblob of liquid, shattered open.
"!"
The cultist, Lylaite, frowned and turned her head cautiously towards the classroom, her eyes fixed on the crumbling walls in layers.
Immediately, her cold pupils constricted sharply.
Because she saw a ——
