The bright fireworks splashed across Ferguson's body, with the scorching hot air clinging close, bringing a burning pain.

Large amounts of red mercury were attached to the speeding long spear, and the moment it hit the rooftop, the red mercury burned fiercely, releasing enormous heat. The rolling fireworks briefly illuminated the night, transforming into a spectacular explosion of sparks dispersing.

Ferguson leaped out of the flames, descending onto the rooftop below. More iron spears roared through the night, pursuing Ferguson's figure, nailing into the wall behind him in a series, shimmering coldly.

"As expected of you!"

Ferguson shouted, as if Bologue could hear his words.

Ferguson figured out how Bologue could find him; Bologue's earlier position was deliberately exposed to him.

Given the surrounding environment, the only place from where one could directly observe Bologue's position was the vantage point where Ferguson was now.

As bullets hit Bologue, Bologue attempted a counterattack and succeeded. However, Ferguson was puzzled by how Bologue made the spear rush in from another angle.

Ferguson had enough intelligence on Bologue, except for one thing: Bologue's Secret Energy. The Zongge Orchestra went to great lengths to investigate but only managed to find out that Bologue belonged to the Commanding School.

Bologue's Secret Energy might be similar to his, but Ferguson couldn't understand how Bologue could control a commanding object from such a long distance. Bologue's inclination should be "Broad and Blunt" like his, but from Bologue's swift and variable command during the battle with the Dark Erosion Beast, it seemed more like "Narrow and Sharp."

Ferguson muttered to himself, "That makes it interesting."

An alarming etheric reaction rose from the edge of Ferguson's perception, traveling a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, advancing like a cannonball. In a matter of seconds, the opponent would collide with Ferguson.

Ferguson knew who it was. Thinking of the opponent's furious face, he felt an irresistible fear, but fear is also a strong emotion. Quickly, the fear transformed into power and joy within him, dispelling that void of torment.

The pitch-black pupils began to tremble, and Ferguson laughed to himself, moving and navigating among the buildings, pulling the trigger. Under his command, the bullet traced a bizarre arc, flying towards the location of the etheric reaction.

Getting closer.

Ferguson thought every step Bologue took at this moment was accompanied by Ethereal Amplification, effortlessly crushing the bricks underfoot into fragments, with earth-shattering roars.

Fire burned on the rooftop, emanating thick black smoke. People below noticed this, and panicked cries continued. Nearby mounted policemen arrived in time, dispersing the crowd and taking control of the scene.

"Help me, Brow."

Ferguson found a new position, using Ethereal Concealment to hide himself. He set up the Silent Fang, without needing the "Hawkeye" enhancement, and could already see the rapidly approaching silver-white figure through the scope.

Bologue had breached Ferguson's safety perimeter; Ferguson had never tangled with an enemy so close in such intensity before.

"He won't fight me; I can't stop him," Brow's voice sounded in the darkness, warning, "His target is you! Run!"

In the scope, behind the armored knight followed a pitch-black phantom.

The Dark Erosion Beast tried to intercept Bologue, but Bologue's proficiency in Ethereal Amplification exceeded their imagination. Among all the ethereal skills, Bologue excelled most in Ethereal Amplification, unstoppable like a train in full release, moving straight forward.

"Is that so..."

Ferguson's heart pounded fiercely, pumping blood to every inch of his body. In extreme excitement, he felt waves of pleasure crashing into his mind, as intense emotions transformed into power. Excess ether accumulated in his Alchemy Matrix.

With his finger on the trigger, Ferguson's smile solidified, and his agitated heart instantaneously fell into an eerie calm.

Ferguson lowered his breath, tensed all his muscles and nerves, his gaze locking through the scope onto the silver-white armor. All the ether converted from intense emotions was poured into the Silent Fang. The high-concentration ether converged onto the Alchemy Warhead, causing it to glimmer.

Pulling the trigger, the Alchemy Warhead shot out silently. Its speed was so fast that it stretched into a bright light trail in the night, like a line infinitely extending, connecting target and muzzle.

The Alchemy Warhead carried a strong etheric reaction, the etheric intensity so high that even Bologue, who wasn't skilled at etheric perception, noticed it.

The rushing silver-white figure began to decelerate, hiding in a side cover, but the roaring Alchemy Warhead didn't miss, instead self-correcting its trajectory, chasing Bologue.

Ferguson commanded, "Follow him! Brow!"

"I know!"

The Dark Erosion Beast leaped within the shadows, the bright Alchemy Warhead acting like a signal flare, guiding it to Bologue's location.

Climbing the walls of the crisscrossing alleyways, the Dark Erosion Beast rushed to the corner, just in time to witness the impact of the Alchemy Warhead.

Under Ferguson's control of Secret Energy, the Alchemy Warhead was like an arrow destined to hit its target, unavoidable.

The silver armor collided with the Alchemy Warhead, layer upon layer of Scale Armor was easily penetrated, followed by the Ether contained within the warhead exploding, the powerful impact instantly tearing the robust armor into pieces.

The shockwave spread to nearby buildings, fine cracks climbed along the walls, the blast shattered windows along the path, scattering like snowflakes in the air.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road were also affected, some people were knocked over by the blast, their ears ringing with a piercing buzz, car windshields shattered all over the ground, drivers screamed as they crashed into street lamps, the entire section became blocked off.

After the dust raised by the impact settled, the Dark Erosion Beast saw the shattered armor on the ground. Deprived of Ether's support, the Deceitful Snake Scale Liquid reverted to a liquid state, flowing like mercury.

"He's gone!"

The Dark Erosion Beast watched its surroundings warily, there was no sign of Bologue behind the broken armor, not even a trace of blood, as if they had only hit an empty shell.

Before the Dark Erosion Beast could observe further, multiple Ether reactions rose beside it, and in the distance, Ferguson also sensed the oddity here.

Are they surrounded?

This thought flashed through Brow's mind, then he felt a surge of delight. The Dark Erosion Beast was an Illusory Creation of his Secret Energy; even if surrounded, what the enemy could slay was merely an Ether creation, and Brow could reform one anytime.

More importantly...

Brow activated his Secret Energy, opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the darkness and space, his face emerging from the darkness on the Dark Erosion Beast's head.

Secret Energy · Dark Erosion Shadow Sculpt.

Brow's Secret Energy belonged to the Illusion Creation school. It could consume Ether to create an Ether construct called the Dark Erosion Beast. Categorically speaking, Brow was also an Overlord.

As an Ether creation, the Dark Erosion Beast possessed numerous abilities, such as "Shadow Leap" to traverse through shadows, its inherent "Etherealization," and the most vital "Shadow Gate."

The Shadow Gate is an extremely rare shortcut ability, represented by the void of darkness atop the Dark Erosion Beast's head, connecting the beast with Brow. When necessary, Brow can traverse to the Dark Erosion Beast through the Shadow Gate.

For a fragile Overlord, this ability greatly enhances Brow's survivability. He once encountered such a situation where the opponent, having bypassed the Dark Erosion Beast's attacks with great difficulty, found Brow's location.

The enemies thought they had won for sure but never expected Brow could easily use the Shadow Gate to instantly traverse to the Dark Erosion Beast and relocate.

Other than that, the Shadow Gate can also be used to observe the battlefield. With its assistance, Brow can closely observe the battlefield through the Shadow Gate and even launch attacks if necessary.

Bologue did not let Brow wait long. Just as the Dark Erosion Beast was observing around, walls surrounding it suddenly collapsed, transforming into crisscrossing long halberds, fiercely striking at the Dark Erosion Beast.

The Dark Erosion Beast immediately Etherialized part of its body, dodging some of the halberds, but several still hit its body, somewhat limiting its movements.

From the distance, the whistling of air-breaking sounded. Ferguson continuously pulled the trigger, firing the remaining bullets to assist the Dark Erosion Beast's battle. At that moment, several armored knights charged out from the shattered walls behind, their bodies burning with blue flames as if they were controlled undead.

Bullets speeding by successively struck the armor, tearing them to pieces, the broken metal yet to fall when it was once again devoured and reforged by the Flame of the Cauldron onto the armor.

The undying undead brandished swords, spears, and halberds, breaking through the barrage, but the following tail blades easily sliced through these steel shells, reducing them to debris once more.

Brow didn't feel elated because of this. Instead, he was more alert. From beginning to end, Bologue was relying on these Commanded Creations to fight. Brow hadn't found Bologue's position, but he was sure Bologue must be nearby; his command range was limited.

In the next moment, a pair of blue eyes locked with Brow through the Shadow Gate.

Bologue emerged amidst the flying iron debris, the Flame of the Cauldron swirling with metal fragments, forging a sharp long spear.

Ether roared with high intensity, the long spear crashed behind the Shadow Gate like a falling meteor.
