"I don't know why, but this place gives an incredibly terrifying feeling."
Upon entering Doom Domain, Alice shivered and spoke.
Noticing Alice's condition, Kaylyn casually cast a spell, enveloping Alice within it.
Only then did Alice feel much better.
Daniel looked around.
He realized that apart from the aura of destruction, there was another strange force lingering in the surroundings.
A deathly aura—one that was completely opposite to the essence of life!
If this was Rose's doing, then there shouldn't be such an aura.
Rose's destruction was pure.
But now, the aura here felt... corrupted, and Daniel found it eerily sinister.
Yes, this was not simply a pure death rule.
The sensation it gave him was incredibly unnatural.
It was as if...
Rose must have discovered sothing before she struck with her sword.
It was very likely that she unleashed this sword strike in an attempt to eradicate the source of this eerie deathly force.
"Where is Rose's sword scar?"
Daniel turned to Kaylyn and asked.
If Rose had purposefully delivered such a calculated attack, then the location of her sword scar should reveal more clues.
"Just ahead," Kaylyn replied, leading Daniel forward.
"Lord Daniel, the closer we get to the sword scar, the higher the likelihood of encountering necro. Please be careful."
Kaylyn warned.
After all, Daniel's current strength was only at Earth God rank.
Even Kaylyn felt a bit concerned.
"Necro, huh?"
"Lord Daniel, please do not underestimate the necro here. How should I put it... Perhaps due to the unique environnt of this place, so of these necro are particularly troubleso."
Cyr added from the side.
Even soone of god king rank saying sothing like this...
That ant there must be so formidable creatures among these necro.
"Yeah, I rember passing through this area once, and a necro actually attached itself to without my noticing. It followed all the way back to Artisan's Sanctuary."
"It took about half a month to fully track it down and eliminate it."
At this mont, Icarus also nodded in agreent.
The necro in Doom Domain...
If they were ordinary necro, then there would be no issue.
Even a re Earth God rank mage could handle them.

But certain special necro could even evade detection from beings like Icarus.
That was truly frightening.
Ever since waking up, Daniel had assud that he was still in the sa world as before.
But he never expected to encounter sothing this troubleso.
A necro so powerful that even those above god king rank could not detect it?
Perhaps...
The entity Rose had targeted and attempted to eradicate with her sword strike was precisely such a being?
"Understood. Everyone, stay alert."
With that, Daniel charged forward toward the direction of Rose's sword scar.
For the group, the distance was not far.
They all conserved their energy and moved swiftly.
Along the way, they did encounter so necro.
However, these necro were extrely ordinary.
No different from the spirit fla necro Daniel had encountered outside.
Even a random Earth God rank mage could easily eliminate them.
So even retained fragnts of mory, but none of those mories were of any real value.
It wasn't until they reached the forr site of the Athyst Temple that they finally encountered sothing unusual.
The journey up until this point had been eerily quiet.
It felt as though nothing was there.
"As expected of Lord Daniel! Even the necro are too afraid to co out!"
Icarus comnted jokingly.
Then, the group entered the ruins of the Athyst Temple.
After crossing over a small hill, everyone saw it—
On the ground, there was a deep chasm.
A terrifying sword scar.
Around this chasm, pure destruction perated the air.
Everything here had been annihilated.
"This is the sword scar that destroyed the Athyst Temple, turning this place into Doom Domain."
Daniel gazed at the sword scar and could sense it—
When Rose wielded her sword, she had done so with imnse purpose.
This was not a casual strike.
But the problem was...
Daniel had too little information to work with.
He couldn't determine why Rose had struck this blow or what her ultimate goal had been.
"Lord, do you see anything unusual?"
Kaylyn asked.
Daniel shook his head.
There was no need to voice re speculation.
If he truly wanted to understand what had happened, the best thod would be to ask Rose herself.
That would be the most direct approach.
"Forget it. Let's head to your White Lotus Sanctuary for now."
"Lord, are you planning to stay in my sanctuary?"
Kaylyn asked, her voice filled with excitent.
"I'll take a look first—nothing is set in stone yet."
Daniel replied.
If White Lotus Sanctuary wasn't suitable, he still had Artisan's Sanctuary and Spirit Beast Sanctuary as alternatives.
After one final glance at the sword scar, Daniel turned and left.
anwhile, Alice, still within the magical barrier, shivered again for no apparent reason before quickly following.
It wasn't until they entered White Lotus Sanctuary that Alice finally let out a sigh of relief.
"This is where normal people should be! That Doom Domain just now… was not a place for humans. It felt like stepping into another world."
"Indeed. A place like that… if an ordinary person stayed too long, they'd definitely be affected."
Kaylyn agreed with Alice.
For a long ti, the three major sanctuaries had been trying to change this situation.
But even after a thousand years of effort, they had only managed this much.
The next few days were spent inside the sanctuary.
Daniel and Alice continued to push their cultivation forward.
After absorbing Daniel's Creation Energy, Alice's talent skyrocketed.
In just a few short days, she had already broken through a minor rank.
As for Daniel...
He was now on the verge of advancing to Heavenly God rank.
"In a few days, I'll head to your secret realm to see how effective it is."
"Understood, Lord. I will make the arrangents imdiately."
Kaylyn replied and was about to leave.
However, at that mont, she suddenly furrowed her brows.
It seed that she had received so sort of communication.
"What's wrong?"
Daniel asked, noticing her expression.
That look indicated she had received so troubling news.
"Lord, another mage has died within the sanctuary."
"In the past few days since we returned, mages have been dying one after another. Now, ten people have died in total. And all of their deaths were strange and identical."
Hearing Kaylyn's report, Daniel's mind imdiately jumped to one possibility.
"Necro?"
After all, Icarus had ntioned that so necro possessed terrifying abilities—
So were even capable of sneaking into Artisan's Sanctuary without being noticed.
It had taken Artisan's Sanctuary months to track down that one necro.
And now...
White Lotus Sanctuary's situation seed even worse.
Because there were already ten dead.
But Kaylyn shook her head at Daniel's speculation.
"Not necessarily, Lord. I have personally examined the bodies of the victims. In their rooms, I found no traces of necro energy."
"All of them died in their sleep, and their souls suffered varying degrees of damage."
"It seems... like sothing a Dream Healer would do."
The mont Kaylyn said this, Alice felt multiple gazes shift toward her.
Panicking, she quickly exclaid:
"Big brother, there's no way I did this! I may be a Dream Healer, but you know —I would never do such a thing!"
"Besides, Dream Healers have rules when operating in dreams. If we harm others, we face severe punishnt!"
