A Void Mark?!

The monsters shrieked in a bizarre, earsplitting cacophony as they charged toward Rebecca.

Unhurried, Rebecca tied her cascading hair behind her back, then raised a hand, murmuring, "Darkness - Infinite Sword Domain!"

The darkness behind her rippled like a windblown curtain. Dark energy coalesced, forming countless swords of identical shape.

Ten…

Twenty…

Fifty…

No, perhaps over a hundred swords. Each sword was over a meter long, with a sharp point and an edge sharper than a surgical scalpel, imbued with terrifying dark energy.

Hundreds of swords hovered in the air, creating a formidable net.

The monsters seemed oblivious to the swords, as they were driven by a single-minded urge... to destroy everything in their path.

"One, two, three... twelve…" Rebecca muttered, "Tsk! Trash!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her hand, and the swords, as if obeying a command, shot towards the monsters at terrifying speed.

With their sharpness and velocity, their destructive power surpassed even bullets.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Clang!

Clang!

The whistling of wind and the clang of metal clashing echoed continuously, like a downpour of rain upon the world.

Hundreds of dark swords descended, easily piercing the bodies of the void monsters as if they were mere flimsy sheets of paper.

Not stopping there, Rebecca clenched her hand and then pulled it back.

The dark swords, as if controlled by her hand, soared back up, using their terrifying speed to slice the monsters into tiny fragments.

The terrifying speed of the swords was invisible to the naked eye.

Only the continuous whistling of the wind could be heard. Seconds later, the monsters disintegrated into countless fragments, scattering across the ground.

The swords completed their mission, once again returning to their original positions.

Rebecca stood still in the darkness, her waterfall of black hair tied back, a touch of annoyance now added to her usual languid expression.

"Captain…"

A group of men and women dressed in black approached Rebecca. But instead of looking pleased, she said wearily, "Don't stay here, go protect the Young Master."

"But… Wells has taken the Young Master away, we don't know where they went."

"That's right. Due to the influence of the void energy, all electronic and communication devices are disabled."

"Captain, we just need to kill all the monsters and then seal this void rift."

"He's right. Captain, this is probably the main source of danger to the Young Master. If we just seal it, he'll definitely be safe."

"Wells is protecting the Young Master now. He's a level 49 'Silver Knight', with him guarding the Young Master, we don't need to worry."

"Don't talk nonsense," Rebecca frowned. "Quickly find the Young Master, I'm enough here. Currently, this void rift…"

BAM!

Before Rebecca could finish her sentence, another explosion rang out, and another shockwave erupted.

Although not as terrible as the previous shock wave, it seemed to signal that something extremely terrible was about to happen.

"Not good!" Rebecca exclaimed, startled. "Hurry up! Find the Young Master!"

Before the bodyguards could understand what was happening, three beams of light shot out from the void rift and flew off into the distance.

Seeing this, Rebecca immediately wanted to pursue the beams of light. Her instincts screamed that those void monsters were searching for Negut.

Suddenly, Rebecca felt something and immediately stopped walking.

In the blink of an eye, a shadow sword materialized in her hand, which she swung behind her.

CLANG!

A sharp metallic clang resonated, accompanied by a shower of sparks.

Rebecca now saw a bizarrely shaped void monster.

Its lower body resembled a plume of black smoke, while its upper body was somewhat humanoid, encased in black armor fragments.

Its hands were sharp, crescent-shaped blades, its eyes two purple lights, and embedded in its forehead was a diamond-shaped stone the size of a pinky fingernail, emitting a blue light.

"Captain!"

"Captain, we're coming to help you."

"Don't come over here!" Rebecca shouted. "Find the Young Master… He's in danger."

Hearing this, the bodyguards immediately turned and ran in the direction where those beams of light had flown.

"Tsk!" Rebecca clicked her tongue. "This is such a hassle. I was hoping to finish this quickly and get some rest."

Haaa…

The void monster opened its mouth, spewing a cloud of black smoke. Rebecca instantly leaped back, dodging the smoke.

"C Rank... and wielding elemental power... a bit troublesome…" Rebecca murmured. "But… you're not enough to stop me."

As soon as she finished speaking, another void monster identical to the first appeared.

The two void monsters hovered side by side, raising their sharp crescent blades as if mocking her.

Rebecca: "..."

…

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The continuous clang of metal echoed as Uncle Wells battled three void monsters.

Their appearance was similar to the monster Rebecca was facing, but they only had one arm and one blade. The gem on their foreheads glowed blue.

"Young Master, run!" Uncle Wells said, frowning. "These monsters are only Rank D, but they can use elemental powers."

"I can't protect you and fight them at the same time."

Negut nodded. "Understood! But… What about you?"

"Don't worry about me!" Uncle Wells said, parrying an attack from one of the monsters and pushing it back with his shield.

"Our guards are coming, I just need to hold on a little longer."

"Okay!" Negut nodded, then turned and ran without another word.

He was just an ordinary person; against these terrifying monsters, he was no more than a tiny ant.

If he stayed, he would only hinder Wells' ability to fight freely.

Just as Wells had said, he couldn't fight and protect Negut simultaneously.

According to Negut's memories, Void Monsters were classified into different ranks based on the stone on their foreheads.

If Negut wasn't mistaken, the stones on these three monsters were blue and glowing intensely, suggesting they were likely level 39.

Moreover, they wielded elemental powers, so even though Uncle Wells was a level 49 "Silver Knight," he couldn't face all three at once.

Besides, there were other survivors in the villa tasked with protecting Negut.

As long as Uncle Wells held out until the other guards found them, they could definitely defeat these void monsters.

The most important thing is his safety.

If he was alive, everything could continue, if he died... he didn't know if he would have a chance to do it again.

Or maybe… This was his only chance. If he dies, everything will end.

There would be no other chance to be Isekaied.

There would be no other life.

Negut ran with all his might, fueled by the primal instinct to survive.

Seeing Negut flee, one of the monsters immediately gave chase.

Uncle Wells reacted instantly, swinging his sword at the pursuing monster.

Clang!

Although the monster blocked Uncle Wells' sword with its blade, the force of the blow sent it flying backward.

"Your enemy... is me!" Uncle Wells growled, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

…

BAM!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Negut heard the explosion and the numerous metallic clangs, but he didn't dare look back, focusing solely on running forward.

Suddenly, his senses were warning him that something very dangerous was about to happen to him.

He immediately leaped forward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop.

BAM!

Right where he was standing, something rushed down at a terrible speed, causing the ground to sink into a hole, with cracks spreading around the hole.

Negut gasped, scrambling backward, putting distance between himself and the hole.

Crop!

Crop!

Crop!

A scraping sound echoed, like something dragging against the ground. It resembled footsteps, but no shoes made that kind of noise.

The creature within the crater, obscured by dust and debris, slowly advanced towards Negut.

Through the dust, Negut could make out the form of a void monster.

It was shaped like a stream of smoke covered with pieces of armor, and on the outside it was also wearing a metal cloak.

On its forehead, an energy crystal glowed gray, indicating it was a Rank D monster.

Its level… was at least 21.

For someone like Negut, even a level 10 void monster was enough to turn him into sashimi.

Now, he faced a void monster that was at least level 21, or at most... level 39.

Negut was like an ant before this monster; it could crush him as easily as flipping its hand.

However, what surprised Negut was... a familiar mark on the monster's head.

"A Void Mark?!"
