Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

A whiff of dark, purplish smoke emerged from the broken necklace, spiraling upwards in a dreadful manner.

Sizzle.~

An eerie sizzling noise erupted, making many jump on their toes.

What monster had they unleashed? What dangers were about to reach them?

Though the grandmaster was here, there was still an unprecedented fear in their little hearts when seeing such a scene.

Maggots fell from the smoke, and the sounds of insects swarming within still buzzed in the ears.

But what's this? They first saw a face printed out on the fog, followed by a pair of hands and feet molding into form as though it were a person wearing a cloak.

Oh my God!!

Whether it was Cang Ingard or even Langshu herself, everyone in the room placed their hands on their mouths, pushing back the regurgitating fluids that were trying to escape their bodies.

Blup!!!!~~

UGLY!

Have you ever seen something so ugly as this?

Once again, the Ingards were refreshed by how ugly these many supernatural beings were.

They thought the one they delayed with back then was the most terrifying.

But now, they knew just how wrong they were.

And this was just the beginning of the being's metamorphosis.

Smoke!

The smoke swirled and twirled dangerously in the air, accompanied by the strange flickers of the lights and the strong winds within the formation.

And soon, the being finally took its full monstrous form.

One step back, another bigger step backward.

Everyone higher themselves, subconsciously creating distance between the formation's wall and themselves.

"How can such a thing exist?"

Simone murdered what everyone thought.

The creature was a strange but gruesome-looking one.

It was well over 15 feet tall, with its back pressing on the ceiling and its body forcefully hunched.

Its hands were so long that they touched the ground from that height.

Rotting... Ugly... Maggots... Hideous.

Its body was riddled with a thousand holes that gave everyone a sneak peek into its maggot-infested body.

But even more alarming was that the being had a strange shield-like layer over its body, similar to a well-polished Silver mirror.

Everywhere one looked, they would see their reflection shot right back at them.

"Mirror Gollum."

Dorian's calm voice echoed out, making everyone feel goosebumps erode their being.

Mirror Gollum…

Butler Sheng tightened his grip on the pinkish talisman in his hand.

Without this, he and any weaker than the being would be blinded for a long substantial time.

The being's mirror-like body as well as its thousand eye

Everyone sucked in their breaths, looking at the full rotting being before them.

This alone was enough to give them sleepless nights!

.

Whoosh!

Dorian swung his weapon fast, turning it into a sword that emitted a faint bluish light.

Bam!

"You! You! You!... You! You!... How can a person like you exist in this world?"

The being's eerie voice resounded. And accompanied by its trembling body, many couldn't help wondering what it meant by those words.

"No! No!... You are not supposed to exist here!"

Why?

Why was such a human here in this world? This didn't add up!!!

The creature was dumbfounded and submerged in fear that it wished it could become one with the walls.

Who can tell it why it was so unfortunate to meet such a being?

What's more, though it was a lesser underworld soldier for one of the main princes, it still knows more than the average underworld being.

So seeing Dorian's appearance was enough to give it shivers.

'No! No!... Impossible! How did one slip in without our knowledge? Dammit! I have to report this matter fast! But how? The gateways have been sealed indefinitely!!!'

The mirror Gollum only felt its entire world tumbling down.

The creature's heart was throbbing uncontrollably.

You have to know that since told to stay behind and continue causing havoc to these puny humans here because his strength wouldn't be needed in the war currently taking place in the underworld.

With its strength, those night generals and others would kill a thousand of it with a single stroke of their weapons.

It was but a few hundred years old, nothing worth mentioning compared to those who had lived for millenniums and even past the many eras humanity had lived through.

The gateways were closed right, at least until the wars were 8/10th done.

The enemy they were up against was their kind. Scheming, monstrously powerful, and sneaky.

The Old princes of hell were taking no chances to get information about this world slip by, or give the enemy a chance to enter this world.

So of course the gateways would be shut!

But why were they so confident that nothing would happen within this time?

Simple.

Because if the heavens did send angels or others here, the special barriers around the gateways would meet them in the presence of such beings entering the world.

It took an entire millennium to slowly put the barriers up, as well as continuously shield this world away.

Of course, only a few knew this was done with the help of that bastard who called himself Loki millenniums ago. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

How he knew of such a powerful thing was beyond them. But with a simple exchange of some underworld objects for instructions on creating the barrier, things were settled.

The exchange started well but ended with many wanting to slice Loki into a million pieces.

Sigh...

What a hateful fellow.

The creature didn't know how the big princes came up with the barriers, but this alone was enough to alert them if any being from above descended to help humanity.

For thousands and millions of years, nothing has ever changed.

So they were confident enough to leave the world in the hands of the many small fries, at least until the war was over.

But who can tell it why during this period, an exorcist would emerge from the shadows?

This was bad!... This was bad!...

'How do I contact the underworld? No! I have to flee and hide for the time being!'

Dammit!

The creature gritted its teeth carefully.

Run! Run!!!

His body moved fast.
