Confronting the Deepest Fears Within

Although Jeremy was fixated on the abrupt emergence of Nocturne City within the second layer of The Misty Garden, he did not neglect to maintain vigilance regarding the threat behind him.

As the grotesque monster, composed entirely of shadows, drew within approximately one meter of Jeremy, he suddenly turned around and swung the Longsword of the Undying at the creature.

The distorted monster let out a piercing wail in response to Jeremy's assault.

Although Jeremy had not personally endured an attack from the twisted monster, the creature's sharp, anguished wails induced a fierce headache that throbbed within his skull.

"I never anticipated that this monster would possess abilities for mental assault. Could it be that every creature within The Misty Garden is capable of employing psychic attacks?!"

At this moment, Jeremy found himself filled with a sense of bewilderment.
