Vritra interrogated the surviving assassin, who revealed Asmodeus ordered the attack due to a divination foretelling his death. Subduing the city's furious mob by showcasing his superior bubble ability, Vritra reinforced the protective barrier and razed Magna's palace. As the group prepared to leave amid plans to hunt remaining players, fifty powerful prisoners from the world prison assaulted the bubble, matching their stats and forcing Vritra and his allies into a perilous standoff.

Vritra gazed at the roughly fifty creatures, every eye locked intently upon him.

"I suppose it's time to depart." He muttered under his breath, as panic seized the city's residents.

Water surged through the fissures, flooding inward.

"Sigh, this game is far from ordinary—first those administrators and protectors, then that insane Evelyn, and now these freaks." Vritra shook his head in disbelief.

He then formed a fresh bubble, channeling even greater energy into its creation.

At the same time, a cart of blood materialized right beside him.

"Brace yourselves, we're escaping this city!" He proclaimed, the bubble swelling swiftly in size.

Joy exploded among the people as they witnessed Vritra erecting another protective barrier; they offered nonstop prayers to him.

The hammer-wielding brute hammered away at the barrier, which teetered on the brink of collapse.

Those foes had their stats capped at 10,000, yet unlike Vritra, none of their attributes hit maximum across the board.

Quickly, the bubble engulfed the whole city, drawing in the nearly shattered barrier.

The group hopped onto the blood cart without delay and zoomed out of Renko City, bound for the next.

Maniacal cackles rang from the criminals; the hammer guy halted, spotting their quarry emerging.

"Allow me to deal with them." Declared a figure with a bluish slime-like form, its body ballooning outward.

"Not while I'm here, kekeke."

Another bounded ahead, standing just a meter tall with a raccoon-shaped body, though enormous mechanical arms jutted from his back.

Criminals of every variety and race gathered there.

The moment the blood cart burst free, a volley of dozens of strikes assaulted it.

Yet a blood shield cloaked it protectively.

BOOOM!

The shield shattered the instant the attacks landed, flinging the cart crashing into the water.

BOOOM!

The shield shattered the instant the attacks landed, flinging the cart crashing into the water.

"Hahaha, my turn now!!" It was a brute with a fish-like tail and a grin packed with jagged fangs.

He plunged headlong into the depths, talons slashing the water to unleash slicing water blades hurtling forth.

BANG BANG

The blades ripped the cart to shreds even as ten silhouettes struggled upward.

"Kek, no survival for you!" Another chortled, then shrieked, unleashing a horrifying sonic blast that whipped up massive waves across the floodwaters.

The silhouettes detonated in a gory spray, bits scattering wildly.

"Haa, too effortless—I didn't even taste a drop of blood." One grumbled, sighing in disappointment.

He'd been jailed for almost eradicating an entire race, thwarted only at the very end.

As he licked his blade, he glanced down and scowled.

"Huh? Only blood? Where'd the bones and meat go—"

KCCHH

A metal hand burst abruptly through his back, emerging from his chest, while a frosty voice whispered in his ear.

"Naturally, they're still part of my body."

Shitless delivered the strike.

Powerful as these enemies were, some faltered against physical blows while others crumbled to mental assaults.

With foes fighting dirty, why charge Vritra's team headfirst?

Shitless yanked his arm free, probing inside to hunt the criminal's heart.

"Ah, there it is! Onest, will squeezing make it pop—ah, oops…" Shitless twisted around and hollered.

Meanwhile, Onest nearly ambushed a foe from behind, but that blasted monk's yell exposed him.

"You piece of shieettttttt—"

BOOOM

An explosion roared over, hurling him into the water.

Shitless ripped out the heart, crammed it into the slayer's maw, then smashed the jaw upward while boot-kicking from rear.

"Bon voyage!!" He bellowed, his bulky frame tumbling into the depths.

BOOOOOM!!

The criminal's corpse blew apart, catapulting nearby thugs through the air.

Female criminals numbered a few among them, their vile deeds rivaling the males' savagery.

They savored the liberty to rampage and slaughter too.

A woman boasting a giraffe-like neck and gorilla-heavy build flew backward.

She splashed into the water, but froze abruptly as a chamber enclosed her.

Then myriad shadow tendrils battered her frame while spiritual shockwaves mashed her skull to pulp.

"Aghhhhhhhhhh" A piercing shriek escaped her.

Physical assaults barely fazed her, but relentless undefended strikes shredded her body.

Teresa, Maeve, and Yasmine collaborated to slay her.

They targeted vulnerabilities with the advantage of striking first.

Vritra nabbed a tentacle-composed foe and the fish-man amid the waters.

His hands ballooned via Evomorph, vast enough to swallow their forms whole.

Blood churned furiously in his grip, firing spiritual barrages to rip them asunder.

Fiona, Yennefer, and Diana took down two additional foes, bringing their total to five slain enemies.

Yet countless adversaries remained, and with the element of surprise lost, their positions stood fully exposed.

"They're hiding right there—strike them all at once!!" bellowed the hammer-wielding brute, who had apparently seized command.

"Hahahaha! This is thrilling!! Die, die, die!" shrieked a petite girl, tears streaming down her face in frenzied madness.

Every one of these foes was a total maniac, their heads consumed solely by murderous urges.

Vanessa unleashed her power, ensnaring all in a bewildering puzzle; nearing her 10th evolution, her labyrinths now manifested as tangible reality.

The environment shifted dramatically around them as she drew her family nearer while scattering the criminals far apart from each other.

However, certain foes boasting immense spiritual power shrugged off the puzzle, and others wielded sheer overwhelming might.

Not to forget their deadly skills.

The labyrinth proved straightforward yet vast, formed by towering walls that scraped the heavens.

"Fine, let's advance as a unit and slay as many as possible before this maze crumbles," he declared, swiftly evading as a strand of white hair nearly grazed his flesh.

Rather, it slammed into the wall, where slender vein-like tendrils rapidly spiderwebbed across its surface, causing the barrier to crumble apart.

He shot a glance sideways and spotted a monstrous being with a withered, century-old woman's face and a form shrouded entirely in white hairs.

'What kind of abominations are these?' he scowled inwardly.

Fiona responded in a flash, unleashing a torrent of crimson flames that erupted outward.

The white-haired monstrosity recoiled in alarm, desperately erecting barriers of its own hairs to escape, but to no avail.

The inferno devoured every wall in moments, and shortly after, the creature perished in the blaze.

These enemies held tremendous power, yet glaring vulnerabilities plagued them.

Fortunately, Vritra's team commanded a diverse arsenal of assaults, ensuring the battle wouldn't turn fatal as long as they avoided facing the horde simultaneously.

During the earlier takedowns of these inmates, they hadn't paid attention to potential gains.

Nevertheless, a barrage of notifications had indeed appeared before his eyes.

Everyone checked the alerts and gaped in astonishment at the multiple lines displayed.

[You have obtained a Blue Crystal.]

[Collect 20 blue crystals to go through the 10th Evolution.]

"Oh, that won't be too tough. Still, we'll need to hunt more," Vritra muttered after scanning the notifications.

They had already secured around six crystals.

"Let's press on," Yennefer urged, her passion for the hunt igniting her voice.

Her mastery over every element granted her a sharp advantage, allowing precise exploitation of enemy weaknesses.

As they surveyed the area, Vanessa contorted and rearranged the maze to maintain separation among the foes.

Before long, they encountered a colossal brute smashing straight through the walls, his head encased in a metallic helmet.

His physical power and resilience soared to extremes, though his spiritual stats lagged far behind; that helmet shielded him from mental assaults.

"Shitless, yank off that helmet. Wifey, prepare yourself." Vritra instructed, clasping Yasmine's hand tightly.

Even with the protective charm from Divine, her well-being remained his utmost worry.

"Okay!" Shitless and Onest accelerated instantly, as Teresa conjured an icy enclosure to immobilize the hulking figure.

Next, Shitless leaped high and crashed his form against the helmet, while Onest darted forward to seize the villain's leg.

Their joint force wrenched free the helmet fused to its skin.

At once, Vritra and Yasmine unleashed a barrage of spiritual energy blasts upon it.

A single droplet of blood hovered aloft before shattering into myriad tentacles that pierced deep into his frame.

Maeve, Fiona, Yennefer—they all struck together, the giant rendered motionless by Teresa's power.

In short order, it met its end as well.

[You have obtained a Blue Crystal.]

"Stay cautious—I'll return shortly," Vritra warned, his form morphing into the blood demon state.

He vanished in a blink, soaring away at maximum velocity.

Vritra resolved to unleash full fury and eradicate every prisoner.

Or at minimum, amass 20 blue crystals first—though the evolution process might drag on, forcing a wait until the clash concluded.

Resembling a raging blood torrent, he surged forward, striking every nearby threat.

Six or seven foes converged on him, launching simultaneous assaults.

Vritra stood prepared, his physique expanding into a massive blood demon as he crushed one beneath his foot.

Even enlarged, his speed remained blisteringly swift.

BOOOOOOM
