Luck is a Charm

After Zen said mockingly to Silence to break the mind of the last person standing. He couldn't put up much of a fight before being incapable of even moving his body part.

However, he was still alive…. for now, if he receives proper treatment. Seeing this person, Zen asks Cecilia to bring him inside the mysterious space while he comes out.

It was time to leave this place and escape the town. Fighting a bunch of magical beasts that became depraved and bloodthirsty is not fun at all.

As Zen starts rushing out, inside the mysterious space, Cecilia is having lots of fun.

"What a cute little dog we have here? I just want to say thank you in advance to let me pry into your tiny mind on how you descend here."

A sweet tone echoed in the space, sending goosebumps all over the last person as he knows what she is implying.

A soul technique where the person can infiltrate in their mind directly to access the most secretive information that they want to hide.

He wanted to struggle but couldn't move at all as he watched Cecilia slowly use this horrifying technique in his mind.

A deadly silent atmosphere as the person slowly dies from the soul technique that corrupted his mind.

Using this technique, 9 out of 10 times, the person would die unless they're extremely lucky or the caster allows him to live like an idiot.

Diego was the lucky person who survived this technique but dying would be a better ending for him as he is now going to be a guinea pig when Zen starts practicing alchemy.

He would have the honor of tasting all those failed pills to keep his life barely on a thin line. How wonderful is it to be him who gets to enjoy high-quality medicinal pills for free?

Such a lucky man deserves the best treatment. Meanwhile, Cecilia finally figured out how all these people from the higher world get to infiltrate the tiny world where there are usually restrictions.

It was through a portal that appeared out of nowhere. A portal that connects a tiny world to the higher world and this is highly unusual.

The world is separated by a distance that one cannot simply cross even if they have a high cultivation base. The risk involved to try that would very likely backlash or even cause their cultivation to deteriorate.

Such a risk is not something any cultivators would do to just go to a tiny world where spiritual qi is lacking. There was no logical reason unless one ascended from there and needed to cut some loose end when they were a mortal.

However, now that she knows the information of a portal, she could guide Zen to ascend from this tiny world to there and absorb more profound spiritual qi in the higher world.

The question now is, if he's really to leave this world where he still has his little girlfriend. His girlfriend has cultivated the wrong way and if she was to be exposed to the real world, she would not be able to handle it.

She wasn't talking about the fact that she's living in a tiny world but it's that her body could not assimilate with the spiritual qi in the world to help her adapt.

Therefore, it would only do her more harm than good if Zen forcefully drags Sara to the higher world.

Not willing to share this information with Zen as he has enough problems in his mind already, she decided to stay silent on this portal for the time being.

Zen has no idea what Cecilia was doing to that last man since it was her idea to have him stay alive for her. The thing in Zen's mind right now was to leave this damn town.

"Wait a bit Zen, I sensed a huge amount of blood outside the secret tunnel right now with foul air in the sky."

"You're sure about that Silence? This is just great and now I'm being surrounded by those beasts. If I stay inside, I can avoid the beasts but the black fog could pollute me."

"No need to fret Zen. Just rush out with all your might as I slice those beasts down and maintain a spiritual barrier to block off the fog."

Nodding at Silence's word, Zen starts activating his barrier while opening the secret tunnel.

"Rawrrrrr"

*Swoosh*

Just outside the opening of the secret tunnel, a horde of magical beasts start roaring at him and without hesitating, Zen directly uses his movement technique to dodge the attacks.

'This town is truly fucking useless. Not even an hour and the town has been infiltrated this hard.'

Complaining in his mind, Zen dashed outside while Silence continued to slice any beasts that are close to him.

Walking outside, Zen increased the barrier density as the black fog in the air was intensifying.

Outside, multiple corpses of humans and beasts are jumbled up together with some beasts eating the corpse.

"Help"

"Please help us here"

While Zen was busy running farther away, multiple screams of people asking him for help since he was completely unharmed.

Turning around to give a quick glance, Zen saw some male and female struggling in a corner while using magic spells.

"You're going to save them Zen?" Silence asked him when he saw his expression of pondering.

Shaking his head, Zen stopped looking at them and continued to run farther away from the town.

"This piece of shit is running away."

"Damn it, we should have barged our way to him so he gets dragged down like us."

As this group of people saw Zen ignoring their pleas for help, they were struggling from the intense pressure from the horde after hearing them yell.

"Arghhh"

Within a minute, they start to get overwhelmed, and soon, they have fallen one after another.

The male and female both cry out in pain as they start getting stomped to death while the beasts devoured pieces of their flesh.

Zen who was a bit far away heard their cries but remained expressionless. He's not helping them out was because of two main reasons.

One of them is that they were complete strangers. Two, this is a dog eat dog world where no one would help the weak out.

He dares say if their role was reversed and it was him who was pleading for help, they would gladly sacrifice him and use him as a scapegoat for their escape.

Although the female in their group was hot and beautiful, Zen found zero interest in her as he could tell what type of person they are with one glance.

They have definitely sacrificed multiple people to get this far given the number of corpses he saw outside.

The action they did to others would come back to bite them in the end. Zen would not waste his time on these types of people who only care about themselves.

"You're truly heartless Zen and I thought you were the righteous, heroic type of person."

"Not as heartless as you, Silence. I dare say you have the power to save them from the horde and instead of doing that, you simply follow me."

"That's because you're my master as of this moment. Without your orders, how could I save them?"

"Hahaha" Zen couldn't help but burst out laughing as he increased his speed.

'Believing your words would truly lower my IQ. Without my orders, you can't act? Like hell, I would trust your word on that. After all, he painfully tortured those dogs when he never commanded him to do that.'

After another 15 minutes of running nonstop, Zen was finally out of the scope of the black fog in the air.

Currently standing on top of a cliff, Zen eyes back to the town that is full of ruin and fire spreading out.

Hordes of magical beasts continue to roar and screams could be heard from afar.

While looking, Zen saw a tall building start collapsing downward and causing huge smoke to appear and pollute the air even more.

"Such a beautiful town became like this in an instant."

Saying this one sentence, Zen starts heading to the place that Cecilia pointed which is the secret hideout of the dogs.

Now that they've been eliminated by Silence, the place is now empty and it's rude to not loot the entire place.
