“Mother, didn’t you miss me?

“Mother, do you hate me?”

“Hehe, but you are my mother, aren’t you? We’ll always be together.”

The whole room was filled with the voice of the little girl. Her tone might sound weird, but it was filled with naivety. Its contents, however, would send chills down one’s spine.

The saintess kept quiet. She removed her coat and unbuttoned her inner clothes, revealing her matured and sexy upper body. Then, she turned around, revealing the countless hideous wounds on her back. She said in a heavy tone, “Of course, we’ll always be together. Come here.”

Right after her voice subsided, the small figure jumped on her ferociously. Countless tiny tentacles stabbed into her back. The process was anything but pleasant but the saintess remained quiet.

Two minutes later, an olive-colored face appeared on the saintess’ back. The chin was sharp while the eyes were pure black in color and oval in shape. Its face did not have the pointed shape of a nose but only two tiny holes.

The scary-looking face even had two braids above its head. It nuzzled the saintess’ face and said, “Mother, take me out for some blood. I miss the feeling of killing people.”

“Of course, my dear.” After that, the saintess got dressed but did not go out of the room. She was waiting because she knew that the outsider was making his way to the headquarters.

...

The troops that the Fallen Star Church sent to Lucard Farm returned quickly.

The saintess contacted them via a special communication method and told them that they were needed back at the headquarters as support.

The red-robed bishop was dead, followed by four white-robed apologists and at least 300 black-robed clergies. The number of dead Fallen Knights were beyond countable. It was certainly a huge loss for the church, and the headquarters of other cities were alarmed.

The outsider who had taken the Demon Infant’s body and ruined the church’s plans must die! The body must be retrieved!

Therefore, the headquarters of neighboring cities decided to join the hunt. This time around, other than sending out seven red-robed bishops, three meteoric-robed bishops were summoned. There were also 30 white-robed apologists plus countless more black-robed clergies and Fallen Knights.

They were ordered to surround Antoine City and capture the resentful outsider. As a matter of fact, capturing the outsider was only one of their purposes. Antoine City had plunged into chaos and the church ought to seize a certain upper hand amidst the chaos.

The reinforcements did not know that the saintess was currently stationed in Antoine City. Even if they knew, their decision would not change. They would only think that the bold b*stard would be doomed this time!

Tang Ling was the bold b*stard that the church was trying to hunt down, but would this be his end?

Not exactly, or at least, he did not feel like it. He only felt slightly tired because he had been fighting continuously for almost six hours.

As a matter of fact, the distance between Tribunal No. 3 and the headquarters of Fallen Star in Antoine was only 40 minutes away by horse. If Tang Ling maintained his speed, he could reach the headquarters even quicker, but that was only if there were no battles along the way.

Up until now, he had killed more than a few hundred enemies. Even if the few hundred enemies stood still and allowed Tang Ling to kill them, it would take him quite some time, let alone having to chase and fight them. Tang Ling also had to take breaks in between fights as he searched for a relatively safe place to drink some water and replenish more vicious beast meat before continuing.

Six hours went by. Even if Tang Ling was excited by the sheer number of spoils, he could not stop the mental exhaustion.

He was getting tired, but he made it to Aroma Tangerine Street. It was almost dawn when Tang Ling arrived, and the sky was at its darkest yet.

Standing in front of the entrance to Aroma Tangerine Street, Tang Ling limbered his neck a bit. Compared to the other messy places around the city, this street was quiet and peaceful.

Even though it was the darkest time of the day, the street was illuminated by street lamps lit using luxurious animal fat.

This street was occupied by the nobles of the city after all, and the headquarters of the Fallen Star Church was located here. The flame of chaos had yet to taint this place.

However, Tang Ling felt unusually restless.

At this point, main mission 3, which had changed into an endless pursuit after a few times and then went quiet since he started killing, sent him new notifications.

‘Dear Danny, besides being hunted for the whole night, you’ve also been killing enemies the entire night. You might be exhausted now, but it isn’t over yet. To stop being hunted, you must either run or destroy the enemies who want to kill you.

‘You’ve arrived in Aroma Tangerine Street, the headquarters of your enemy. It seems like you’ve killed almost everyone on your way here, so as long as you can step into the headquarters, victory will be yours.’

Tang Ling frowned when he got the notification because he somehow felt like it was strange. It felt like the mission wanted to end early. He had no idea that his actions in this world had forced Kun into a helpless and desperate situation, thus he must be expelled out of the Dream Domain as soon as possible.

He did not know why the mission would send him such notifications. Heading to the Fallen Star Church’s headquarters was just a random choice. He actually just wanted to kill more enemies and get more spoils, but since the mission said victory would be achieved upon stepping into the headquarters, he did not have a reason to give that up either.

He took a deep breath. The edge of the Grade A alloy dagger was heavily chipped throughout the battles. Regardless, he held it in one hand and the Blood Bulrush Sword in the other. Step by step, he walked into Aroma Tangerine Street.

The street was still as quiet while the mist of dawn floated around.

He was getting closer to the headquarters of the Fallen Star Church when he noticed a lady in the middle of the street. She looked mature, sexy, and had a voluptuous figure. Not seem threatening at all, she stood in the middle of the street quietly, looking at him.

Tang Ling had explosive goosebumps all over his body. Calculating his gains and losses, he stopped the urge to run away and stopped walking.

“This is as far as you go,” the lady spoke, her femme fatale pronounced in her charming and alluring voice.

Tang Ling gripped the Blood Bulrush Sword tightly without answering.

“Hand over the body of the Demon Infant and walk with me. At least, I guarantee your life,” she said. A blurred shadow suddenly appeared behind her. It looked like a little girl with braids, but no matter how blurry it was, the little girl’s face structure looked extremely strange.

Tang Ling felt like the little girl’s head looked like an enlarged version of a mantis.

“Do you have to think it over?” The lady took a step forward. Eerie giggles floated in the mist. It was the strange little girl’s voice.

“Think, my *ss!” Tang Ling transformed instantly when he shouted his reply. He sped towards the lady, his large body making him look like a furious tank. At the same time, he hurled the Grade A longsword out, not at the lady, but at the blurry little girl behind the lady.

Tang Ling would never be tricked! He knew at first glance that the little girl was a Demon Seed crawling on the lady’s back! A Demon Seed was still a Demon Seed regardless of how it appeared!

Tang Ling was already at his prime when he transformed because, in the past six hours of endless slaughter, he had killed a lot more Demon Seeds and four more white-robed apologists.

After killing 50 Demon Seeds, Tang Ling was rewarded with 5 Dream Coins.

Killing a total of 7 white-robed apologists rewarded Tang Ling with a scrumptious 40 Dream Coins!

He was happy with the rewards, but the most important thing was that his strength had completely recovered, and he even attained the minimum threshold of the strength of two tigers! His body finally absorbed the energy stored in his dantian and he was strengthened further. He became even stronger than his prime before he entered the dream.

However, there was a time limit for the energy absorption, so he still could not convert all of it but even so, he was still 5% stronger than his previous prime form!

Given his transformation, he should be confident in the fight, but he did not feel that way. Unfortunately, the eerieness and the danger from the explosive goosebumps told him that he had run into a terrifying enemy. Even with his stronger form, he could never beat this lady!

All he could do was give it his best, put his life on the line again, and hope for a blessing from Lady Luck.

Tang Ling purposely kept quiet the first time to buy himself more time for the transformation. Right after his transformation, he made the first attack to suppress his opponent and his target was the Demon Seed.

With his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling’s throw was accurate. It was like an arrow that was fired by the most skillful sharpshooter, and the only difference was that Tang Ling did not learn any shooting techniques.

Armed with such accuracy, the lady would certainly dodge it and when she did, Tang Ling would run past her. It would be his only chance to reach the beautiful cathedral behind her.

Tang Ling was correct! He won the gamble again!

The lady did not expect Tang Ling to take the first strike. She lacked an understanding of him because the quick updates that she got would never tell her about the details of Tang Ling’s battles.

When the Grade A longsword flew over, the lady instinctively dodged, and it was at that moment, Tang Ling’s sturdy body ran past her!

The cathedral! According to the notification, victory would be his as long as he stepped into the cathedral! No matter how strange the notification was, he ought to believe it.

Tang Ling dared not delay his actions either. He sprinted like the wind towards the cathedral. His speed after transformation was terrifying. He could run 100 meters in less than 2 seconds.

However, a disdainful cackle came from behind him.

It took only a moment for the lady to fuse with the Demon Seed. She transformed into a 2-meter-tall humanoid spider with eight appendages in the middle of the street.

Since Tang Ling dared not turn around, he did not get a detailed look at the monster. After the transformation, the spider monster thrust one of its appendages at him without a second thought at a speed that was even faster than his sprint.

At the same time, seven to eight tentacles sprung out from her abdomen and flew toward Tang Ling, attempting to trap him like a spider web.

Fwoosh!

The appendage easily punctured Tang Ling’s backpack despite him holding a ton of tough crust inside. One of the tentacles had caught up to Tang Ling and latched on to his arm!

“You cannot run.”

Tang Ling nervously looked ahead to see the cathedral right in front of him!
