"Plan?"
When Roa mentioned this word, the first person to react was not Fang Li, but Nrvnqsr, who had been standing by silently, releasing wild beasts all the time.
Nrvnqsr turned his head and looked at Roa as if confirming something, and spoke in a cold voice.
"If you go through with this, neither the Church nor the Association will let you go. They will stop at nothing to eliminate you. Are you prepared for that?"
If anyone familiar with Nrvnqsr witnessed this scene, they would undoubtedly be shocked.
After all, the tenth-ranked Dead Apostle among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, who regarded life as insignificant and was as devoid of human emotions as a machine, was actually issuing a warning about a certain matter.
One could imagine how serious the consequences of this matter would be.
However, Roa no longer cared about such things.
"As long as I get the White Princess, neither the Church's dogs nor the Association's garbage will be a problem for me!"
Roa clenched his fists, his expression becoming terrifying as he continued to speak.
"Stay here and buy me some time. Don't you dare try any tricks!"
With these words, Roa suddenly turned around and leaped into the air with incredible physical strength, landing on the roof of an unfinished building.
Fang Li, who had been fighting amidst the beast horde, saw this scene clearly.
"You invited me here, but now you're abandoning your guest and leaving on your own. What kind of etiquette is that?"
"It seems that these eight hundred years you've lived, you've wasted them like a dog."
As he spoke, Fang Li wanted to follow him.
However, at that moment, the surrounding beasts suddenly stopped and froze as they charged at Fang Li.
Shortly after, those ferocious beasts turned into black mud, coalescing into a mass that violently surged towards Fang Li like a dark mudslide.
The black mudslide rolled forward, even blocking out the sky above the construction site.
Fang Li's ice blue Mystic Eyes flickered as he charged forward to meet the violently roaring mudslide without showing any hesitation.
With a swift movement, his Moonlight Dagger followed a crackling death line and once again transformed into a streak of silver light, slicing through it.
"Slash-!"
With a sound like fabric being torn, the black mudslide was split in two, and it looked as if a wave had been cleaved apart.
The covered construction site was once again exposed to Fang Li's gaze.
However, Roa's figure had completely disappeared.
In his place, standing on the roof of the unfinished building, was a high-ranking Dead Apostle dressed in a black cloak, looking down at Fang Li with the wind blowing around him.
Cold indifference could be seen on his steely, emotionless face.
Facing Nrvnqsr, who was blocking Roa's escape route, Fang Li narrowed his eyes and met Nrvnqsr's gaze.
"Are you planning to stop me?" Fang Li asked. "Can you do that in your current state?"
Nrvnqsr remained silent.
Because he knew very well that if he faced Fang Li in his current state, the only result would be death.
"With some of my strength taken by Roa and many of the wild beast factors in my body killed by you, I cannot recover."
"How much fighting power do you have left?"
This was Nrvnqsr's reality.
If in his prime, Nrvnqsr ranked tenth among the Twenty-seven Ancestors, in his current state, he might even lose to the weakest of the Ancestors.
Although Nrvnqsr was still far stronger than an ordinary vampire, he was no longer a threat to Fang Li.
According to the ranking system of the Main God's Dimension, Nrvnqsr would undoubtedly have been at a Third Rank before. Now, however, his combat ability might only be at the extreme limit of the Fourth Rank.
Against most opponents, this level of power would be more than enough.
But against Fang Li, who had almost turned the tables even on Nrvnqsr at his peak, the current Nrvnqsr had no chance of winning.
And yet...
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
Nrvnqsr said, his voice filled with bitterness and humiliation.
"You must have noticed my situation, right?" Nrvnqsr said with self-mockery, "Not only did the 'Serpent' steal some of my power, but he also took control of my Reality Marble.
Nrvnqsr's Reality Marble had actually been taught to him by Roa from the beginning.
For Nrvnqsr, like Roa, had been a practitioner of magic before becoming a Dead Apostle.
Centuries ago, Roa and Nrvnqsr had known each other.
Back then, Roa had given Nrvnqsr this Magecraft closest to true Magic— the Reality Marble *Lair of the Beast King*— allowing Nrvnqsr to possess 666 lives, become Chaos, and ultimately rank tenth among the Dead Apostle Ancestors.
Since this Reality Marble was given to Nrvnqsr by Roa, it was only natural that Roa would have a way to take control of it.
Unfortunately, in order to prevent his Reality Marble from being corrected by the world, Nrvnqsr had buried the *Lair of the Beast King* within his own body, making it a part of himself.
In other words, by controlling the Reality Marble, Roa had essentially taken control of Nrvnqsr's body.
"Just like you said, I've been stripped of everything!"
Nrvnqsr finally let out an angry roar.
"I will never forget this humiliation!"
"You, the boy who wields death! Come and kill me!"
"I, Nrvnqsr Chaos, will not be a puppet controlled by a lowly trickster!"
With that roar, Nrvnqsr howled into the sky.
"Boom-!"
A muffled explosion suddenly echoed from beneath Nrvnqsr's cloak.
Immediately, countless black slurries surged out from under Nrvnqsr's coat, covering his entire body and causing it to swell.
The next moment, the black mud solidified.
On the roof of the unfinished building, Nrvnqsr's original form was no longer visible; he had completely transformed into a massive bipedal beast.
"-Awoooo-!"
A deafening howl echoed through the air.
In that instant, Nrvnqsr had refined all the remaining wild beast factors within his body into his own form.
"Come and grant me 'Death'!"
"Nanaya Fang Li!"
The high-ranking Dead Apostle known as Nrvnqsr let out his final roar, smashing the building beneath him and shooting toward Fang Li like a meteor.
Seeing this, Fang Li slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, all emotion had disappeared from within.
His ice-blue Mystic Eyes were utterly merciless.
"As you wish."
With those words, Fang Li soared into the sky, meeting the charging beast head-on.
The blade's light was silent.
"Slash—!"
A second later, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh echoed clearly across the construction site.
Then, silence descended.
