At the same time.

At James’ place.

After they had successfully taken down the Blood Ape, the Ghoul appeared before they had time to rest.

In an instant, the catacomb they were in underwent a change.

“What is this thing?” Someone couldn’t help but ask as he looked at the color spreading under his feet.

“Yes, I have it here as well. Why is it still so red?”

“Damn it, it seems like the magic in my body is burning rapidly.”

“Me too. My HP is also burning.”

“I… I think I’m poisoned. Does anyone have an antidote?!”

Instantly, everyone was thrown into chaos.

And at that moment, when James saw the situation in front of him, he instantly thought of what Klein had told him.

Is this the Ghoul?

A monster that can change space!

With their current speed, it was impossible for anyone to escape.

And not only that, once the Ghoul scattered the crowd, they would be destroyed one by one.

With this in mind, James hurriedly shouted:

“Everyone, wait a moment. Listen to me.”

“God Klein has already told me the situation here. This is where the Ghoul is, and the red color is a special ability of the Ghoul.”

“In this ability, everyone will enter negative emotions such as being forcibly deprived of blood, poisoned, and so on. But this is just a façade. Everyone, don’t be fooled.”

Just as James finished speaking, everyone stopped.

Someone asked, “Really? Did God Klein really say that?”

James nodded.

“That’s right. God Klein personally told me that.”

“Then, did God Klein say how to solve it?” someone asked.

“He did!” James said, “With fire, you only need to wait for the barrier to be completed before using fire to kill the Ghoul.”

When James said that, everyone present clearly heaved a sigh of relief.

That was indeed the case.

Compared to visible enemies, invisible enemies were the most terrifying.

Now that they knew the weakness of the Ghoul, everyone was much calmer.

But James asked, “Is there anyone who can cast fire magic well?”

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrogant voice sounded in the crowd.

“Let me do it!”

After saying that, everyone looked over.

Seeing the person, those familiar with him couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“Isn’t that Wallace?”

“Ah, I know him. He has possessed magic for a long time. Furthermore, he specializes in fire magic. A huge fire killed countless monsters!”

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect to see him this time. It’s settled. With his attainments in magic, I’m afraid even God Klein can’t compare, right?”

“That’s indeed the case. He’s known as the Fire God Wallace. With a single hand of fire magic, he can instantly kill any monster below tier 5. Anyone above tier 5 will be tortured to death, not to mention the Ghoul that is restrained!”

Hearing everyone’s words, Fire God Wallace became even more proud.

Just as everyone said, his luck was indeed not bad.

Not long after he entered the catacombs world, he relied on his luck to obtain a golden treasure chest.

After opening it, he obtained the magic core and successfully awakened the fire attribute magic.

He was well aware of his hidden strength, so he kept it a secret and developed it secretly.

Finally, he obtained his current achievements and obtained the title of Fire God.

When he thought of this, Fire God Wallace was somewhat pleased with himself.

Therefore, he walked out and looked at James.

“Klein told you personally that he used fire to defeat the Ghoul?”

James frowned when he saw Wallace’s arrogant expression.

But he still didn’t say anything.

Now wasn’t the time. After all, he had the strongest magic out there.

If they offended him, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

James nodded when he thought of this.

However, Wallace clearly didn’t have any intention of thanking Klein. Instead, he said disdainfully, “It’s that simple? It’s settled this time. Looks like this Klein isn’t much!”

“It’s just a mere flame. How can he compare to me? Watch me lead all of you to destroy the ghouls.”

With that said, he waved the spell in his hand, and instantly, a magical flame flew into the sky from his hand.

Then, Wallace clenched his hands and shouted, “Explode!”

Instantly, the flames in the sky exploded violently.

After the explosion, it turned into countless tiny sparks that lit up the sky, making it look extremely gorgeous.

This move surprised everyone present.

“Is this Wallace’s magic? It’s so cool!”

“Isn’t it? It looks like he’s posturing, but in fact, he’s displaying the control of his magic flames. With the magic he’s displaying. He’s worthy of being the number one person in the catacombs world!”

“That’s right. Did you guys notice that there are traces of black in his flames? I know this color. The black magic indicates that the temperature of his flames has reached more than 1,000 degrees!”

“Hiss! 1,000 degrees? Holy **, no wonder he’s the Fire God!”

“That’s right. The solubility of iron doesn’t need 1,000 degrees, right?”

Wallace couldn’t help but nod when he saw everyone’s reaction.

The expression on his face became even more smug.

As for Klein?

Could he be compared to him?

‘I’ve cultivated magic for such a long time, and it’s an exclusive fire magic. I don’t know how much stronger I am compared to the tiny Klein.’

Soon.

The enchantment covered the entire catacomb.

After the enchantment was set up, countless corpses appeared on the ground.

These corpses were still extremely fresh, as if they had just died.

Many people looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn’t help but feel their intestines churn.

There was nothing they could do. These people had died in a very tragic manner.

It seemed like they had been killed in such a manner!

Therefore, they felt extremely uncomfortable as they empathized with the situation.

“They’re out. Let’s do it!”

James glanced at them and spoke.

“Hmph!”

Wallace rolled his eyes at James and said disdainfully, “What’s the rush? The main character hasn’t even appeared yet.”

Looking at Wallace’s expression that was asking for a beating, James clenched his fists tightly.

If it weren’t for the fact that the situation wasn’t right, he would have attacked long ago.

Why?

It was fine to insult him, but it wasn’t enough to insult Klein!

Klein was his benefactor. To put it bluntly, his current achievements were all thanks to Klein.

If it weren’t for him, he would have died in that nook!

Therefore, James decisively chose to shut up and moved his body backward.

Wallace became even more proud when he saw James escape.

Especially when he was surrounded by everyone, he felt that he was an invincible powerhouse in the catacombs world, comparable to Klein.

No, he had surpassed Klein!

The Ghoul didn’t make everyone wait for long. Before long, the sea of blood in the distance churned.

Rumble–

Boom!

With a few loud sounds, the blood lake exploded.

An extremely strange creature descended from the sky,

As soon as it landed, the environment of the entire barrier changed.
