Xu Yi dragged the heavy cleaver forward, but after only a few ters, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
He gripped the handle of the cleaver tightly, warily looking ahead, yet he quickly relaxed.
In front was a little girl, who appeared to be only eight or nine years old, with black hair sticking together and scattered across her forehead.
The little girl stared straight at Xu Yi, her eyes rimd with pale blood-colored eye shadow.
There was no doubt that Xu Yi's current appearance was extrely horrifying and fierce, but there wasn't a hint of fear in the little girl's eyes, just a trace of curiosity in her scrutinizing gaze.
In such an unsettling place, and with such a deanor, the little girl before him was clearly not an ordinary person.
"My na is Alesha," the little girl suddenly said.
A surge of inexplicable information flooded into Xu Yi's mind, and he knew the identity of the little girl before him, which left him utterly shocked.
She was actually the "Creator"!
Of course, she was not the god from the myths who created the world, but rather, this eerie world had been born because of the little girl.
Even the Pyramid Head form he had taken on was the handiwork of the little girl.
His mission, having been created, was to protect Alesha.
Alesha walked forward silently, and Xu Yi subconsciously followed.
At the end of the corridor was a heavy tal door, its surface etched with intricate patterns, out of place against the minimalistic tallic corridor.
The tal door creaked open, and Alesha stood by its side, quietly waiting.
Through the door, all one could see was darkness, and the strange murmurs coming from beyond suggested that what lay behind the door was far from welcoming, but Xu Yi had no choice in the matter.
He had a premonition that if he didn't enter beyond the door, he would die.
Alesha leapt up, and with Xu Yi's current form as the Pyramid Head, broad-shouldered and thick-ard, and Alesha's petite figure, she landed steadily on Xu Yi's shoulder, with Xu Yi barely feeling her weight.
Without any further hesitation, Xu Yi strode through the door.
Endless darkness enveloped him, and after an indeterminate amount of ti, his vision slowly returned.
Before him lay a vast expanse of ruins with oddly shaped architectural debris everywhere.
All the ruins were covered with a layer of viscous black-red flesh that was alive, undulating like waves.
Blood-colored light shone down from above, its source not so sun but a massive pupil, coldly watching over the bloody flesh ruins below.
Upon encountering the giant pupil, Xu Yi's body involuntarily shivered.
He suddenly realized that these ruins were the true world behind the Black Void Gate; the foggy town he had been in was rely an outpost for entering this place.
More and more figures appeared in the bloody flesh ruins, among them a giant serpent made of human skulls; a monstrous spider with a baby's face; deford people with two heads dragging their bloody intestines as they crawled along the ground...
Every being that entered these bloody flesh ruins was, without exception, a corrupted monster, swarming in vast numbers with no end in sight.
Suddenly, a dull bell sounded overhead, and only then did Xu Yi notice that beneath the blood pupil hung an ancient clock, black and connected by chains. The bell's toll spread in all directions.
Before Xu Yi could react, a segnt of bloody intestine climbed down from below, coiling around his body and arms.
The two-headed Deford Person controlling the intestines suddenly lunged at Xu Yi, its wide-open mouth filled with sharp fangs.
A boundless fury mixed with a savage bloodlust surged up within him, and he exerted force with both hands, snapping the intestines wrapped around him inch by inch.
He reached out with his left hand, grabbing the approaching two-headed Deford Person, and with his other hand, he swung the heavy cleaver, instantly severing the bloody intestines attached to the lower part of the Deford Person.
The two-headed Deford Person let out a piercing scream.
Sitting atop Xu Yi's shoulder, Alesha glanced indifferently at the two-headed Deford Person, and both heads spontaneously combusted, turning to ash in an instant, which Xu Yi then crushed to dust with one squeeze.
Xu Yi suddenly paused, and as the two-headed Deford Person died, a mysterious energy flowed into his body.
He felt he had beco stronger, both in terms of strength and the sturdiness of his body.
Xu Yi looked out, and everywhere was the brutal slaughter.
There was no such thing as factions, for all that t the eye were enemies. Their only purpose was to kill the corrupted creatures they saw.
The whole ruin had turned into a at grinder, and Xu Yi was one of its operators.
He continuously swung the machete in his hand, slicing through the corrupted creatures that lunged at him.
He let out excited roars, and with each enemy he killed, his bloodlust was satisfied.
He was completely imrsed in the combat, for he discovered that with each enemy he killed, he could absorb so of their strength.
The feeling of growing stronger was intoxicating; he was engrossed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Of course, not all the corrupted creatures were weak; he encountered formidable enemies several tis, the most dangerous of which was once when—
he faced a monster that was half charred black and half a beautiful woman. He was engulfed by the cyan flas she spat out.
The flas had a strong corrosive nature. He saw with his own eyes how one after another, the corrupted creatures lted away under the flas.
He thought he wouldn't be able to withstand it, after all, how could a brute who only knew how to hack at people with a knife stand against a "mage"?
To his surprise, the flas couldn't corrode his body at all, only causing him extre discomfort.
He suddenly realized that the Pyramid Head he had beco possessed an ability similar to "Impervious to All Laws".
He successfully killed the creature, and the surging power that flowed into him excited him imnsely.
It was then he realized that, in this battlefield of flesh and blood, Alesha was also a high-ranking entity. The Pyramid Head guardians she created were naturally no weaklings either.
Xu Yi thrived in the chaotic combat, all thanks to his mastery of swordsmanship.
Although the soul split that had beco the Pyramid Head couldn't use the system entries' powers,
entries such as swordsmanship master, which placed more importance on experience and skill, were naturally usable by him.
Extensive knowledge of swordsmanship was very suitable for such a chaotic battlefield.
With relentless fighting and devouring, Xu Yi grew stronger and stronger, his aura wildly bloodthirsty like a Demon God from Hell.
"Looks like it's ti to create a new one!"
Alesha sat quietly on his shoulder, watching Xu Yi with a look of regret in her eyes.
After all, it was rare to create a Pyramid Head with such high potential.
Any dark creature chosen by the Black Void Gate couldn't resist entering this battlefield.
To survive here, you had to keep on fighting.
In theory, with every enemy killed, one's own power would grow stronger, an allure that no dark creature could refuse.
But since entering this place, Alesha had never actively killed a corrupted monster. Only when the Pyramid Head was in a tight spot would she lend a hand.
Could it be that Alesha didn't want to grow stronger, or that she couldn't bear to harm the creatures around her?
Clearly, that was impossible. Alesha gazed at the battlefield's slaughter with indifferent eyes.
Limbs of corrupted creatures scattered, thick blood spattered on him, Xu Yi killed with relish, lost himself in the killing, subrged completely in it.
His gaze flickered to Alesha on his shoulder, and a surge of murderous intent rose within him, making Xu Yi shiver violently.
Sothing was off! Absolutely off!
Alarm bells were sounding in Xu Yi's mind, and he imdiately beca alert.
Why would he suddenly have the urge to kill Alesha for no reason?
