Edessa was well aware that it was impossible to annihilate the Boundary Land all at once.

But he could still do something, and he believed he could take the first step.

Assas decided to declare to the Boundary Land that it was not invincible.

All he had to do was activate the teleportation array remaining in Giant Stone City to teleport everyone still in the city to the Abyss Plane.

Giant Stone City, as a famous tourist city, always had many visitors.

If an entire city of people were teleported to the Abyss Plane, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar in the Boundary Land.

Assas chose to do this here to prove to the Boundary Land that the teleportation array they believed to be defunct, he could repair.

The teleportation to the Abyss Plane naturally included Assas himself.

He still maintained his rationality and did not have a fanatical yearning for the Abyss Plane.

Assas clearly understood that once he was teleported to the Abyss Plane, he was likely to die, and that great existence might not be able to save him.

Assas didn't know how big the Abyss Plane was, but he was sure it was countless times larger than the Boundary Land.

Assas had already prepared for death. He thought it didn't matter; after all, he had already died once.

This death, however, would be more on his own terms than last time, where he was powerless to resist and at the mercy of others.

While thinking about these things, Assas unknowingly walked into the ruins.

He wrapped his body in a magic shield and walked directly through the ruins.

Assas seemed very familiar with the place, navigating the ruins with ease and arriving near an extremely hidden entrance.

He looked around before jumping directly down.

The space below opened up, revealing a spacious hall.

Though not large, it was about the size of a normal hall.

The ground was uneven, as if it had been dug up.

Assas knew that there used to be a teleportation witch array here, but it was later excavated and taken for research by people from the Boundary Land.

Missing this core part of the witch array, the entire teleportation array could no longer be activated.

And with most of the information lost, completing this part of the witch array was almost a fantasy.

But Assas had done it.

He walked to the center of the uneven ground and took out a dagger, slowly cutting from his shoulder to his palm.

A long wound appeared, and blood gushed out, flowing rapidly to the ground.

Once the blood hit the ground, it began moving with a rhythm, as if a brush soaked in blood ink was painting on the ground.

Soon, the entire underground hall was filled with the scent of blood.

Blood continued to flow endlessly from Assas, as if it were limitless.

Assas watched indifferently as the blood flowed from his body, dripping onto the ground and forming a complex witch array.

After a long time, the blood finally stopped flowing, and Assas had become much thinner, his cheekbones prominently protruding.

He took a diamond-shaped crystal from his space ring and slowly walked to the edge of the blood-painted witch array, where there was a painted empty spot.

Assas placed the crystal in the empty spot, then took out another crystal and went to another empty spot to do the same.

The entire witch array had twelve such empty spots, requiring twelve crystals.

As Assas was about to place the fourth crystal, his expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed something.

His face contorted into an extremely grim expression, and he plunged the crystal in his hand directly into his heart.

"Damn it!" Herag, still on the ground above, noticed this scene and immediately sensed something was wrong. Cursing inwardly, he quickly used a teleportation spell to arrive in the hall.

He originally intended to sneak in, but for some reason Assas detected him.

Normally, he was very well-hidden, and Assas, being a Level 2 Wizard, shouldn't have been able to detect him.

But from Assas' decisive actions, it was clear he had been exposed.

Herag's hand had barely reached Assas when it could no longer advance.

By then, the crystal had already been inserted into Assas' heart, causing blood to spurt out. A strange power spread from the crystal, blocking Herag's approach.

Herag felt the familiar energy and quickly realized it was similar to the energy of a Divine Core.

Assas stared blankly at Herag, blood pouring from his mouth like a waterfall.

He looked at Herag and gave a triumphant smile: "You cannot stop me, Sixth Ring Tower scum."

Assas' smile, paired with his current state, appeared particularly horrifying.

He hadn't actually discovered Herag; he had only sensed the aura of the Starry Sky Meditation Technique.

Assas, born a commoner, had also practiced the Starry Sky Meditation Technique, as that was all he could afford.

He had learned some methods from that existence in the Abyss Plane, making him extremely sensitive to the aura of the Starry Sky Meditation Technique.

This led to him immediately detecting that familiar scent as Herag approached the edge of the ruins, promptly activating his second plan.

Assas knew that this was a ruin and it was already late at night; no one would casually stroll here.

His heart was his backup plan, containing extremely terrifying energy, capable of directly activating the witch array underfoot.

Although it couldn't fully realize the effects of the witch array, it could fulfill the most basic function.

The aim of teleporting the entire Giant Stone City over was now doomed, but teleporting half of it was still feasible.

Realizing the danger, Herag instinctively prepared to escape to the Small Plane.

But it was too late; the surging power engulfed the place in an instant.

Terrifying energy impacted Herag, channeling into the witch array below.

The blood-formed witch array began emanating a blood-red, eerie light, and the entire Giant Stone City started to tremble, awakening countless people from their dreams.

Most people were still oblivious, having spent the first half of their lives in peace, never having experienced real danger, and naturally unable to respond effectively in time.

Those more cautious had realized danger was approaching and were preparing to flee.

But like Herag, it was too late for them to escape.

After the witch array was activated, immense energy enveloped the outer half of the ruins, and the small half of Giant Stone City vanished from its location.

From above, the whole of Giant Stone City appeared to have a small bite taken out of it, leaving a noticeable gap.
