Although the glass scattered that soft yet bright light, making the entire glass house appear a blinding white, anyone who focused carefully could still notice that the source of the light came from the palms of the statues reaching upward.

So...

The inheritance was placed right there, in the palm of the statue!

"Whether the Lord of the Sixth Island or someone else put it there, this place isn't exactly hidden, but... it does have quite the artistic flair."

Fu Luo remarked.

Kitty nodded as well: "It's practically aesthetic."

King Vulture put away the metal orb: "What aesthetic, what nonsense... Let's move quickly - it looks like we have a chance to grab this thing and just exit the dungeon directly!"

"After all, the clear condition and the inheritance are right in the same spot!"

As King Vulture spoke, Fu Luo also collected his thoughts.

"Yes... but this glass house doesn't even have a door or a crack. How are we supposed to get in?"

"How about we try smashing it?"

King Vulture said, looking eager to give it a shot.

"What if we can't control the force and end up shattering the statue instead?"

Fu Luo shook his head: "That method... let's only try it if we're truly desperate."

And just then...

"Boom!"

The entire building suddenly trembled, and then...

"Boom!"

A large hole appeared in the ceiling, and Nineteen and Chlorpromazine dropped down from it.

"Damn - is this what you call an escape route?! I almost got killed!"

"Shut up, you idiot. At least we made it inside the building."

Nineteen got up from the ground, cursing at Chlorpromazine while dusting himself off.

But when he took a clear look at his surroundings, he narrowed his eyes: "Ha, and we're in luck, friend - take a good look. We've already found the 'Cursed Statues'... and we've also caught some sneaky rats trying to make off with them."

He looked at King Vulture, Fu Luo, Kitty, and Lin Yu, his tone relaxed: "Oh my, that monster sure kept its word, actually returning this 'Thief' to you all."

Although they had cooperated before, this meeting...

There was no doubt that the two sides were now enemies.

King Vulture spoke coldly: "Quite the imposing aura... Looks like you 'Marauder' types were hiding your strength before!"

"Keeping something in reserve is my habit," Nineteen said gracefully, "but you're pretty sharp too, being able to tell at a glance that my aura is stronger than before."

King Vulture said nothing, simply releasing the White Snake to coil around her body.

Fu Luo stepped forward to negotiate again: "Hey, even though we no longer have any standing to cooperate, there's no need to fight here, right? These statues really are our clear condition, but... since we all have to destroy them anyway, is there any point in competing?"

Nineteen was about to speak when Chlorpromazine cut in first.

"Ha... Are you trying to fool us, Furbollo? This place isn't as simple as just the statues."

"Do you think that someone like me, who comes from the 'Psychological Society' and has been a veteran member for over a year, specially dispatched to search for the inheritance of the first-generation 'Freud,' wouldn't recognize what his inheritance looks like?"

"Nineteen - the thing glowing in that statue's hand is the First Generation's inheritance!"

As Chlorpromazine spoke, Nineteen grinned.

"Got it!"

King Vulture's expression turned grim: "Careful - it's about to turn into a fight!"

"We win if we can... but if we can't, then release the Coordinate and stall them so they can't destroy the statues and leave immediately!"

As King Vulture spoke, Fu Luo nodded: "Alright, then let's fight - at least we have four people!"

"You'll soon learn that numbers mean nothing," Nineteen said, raising a single hand as pale gray particles swirled around his arm. "I suggest you fire off your Coordinate right now, because... in a moment, it'll be too late!"

The moment he finished speaking, Nineteen reached into the air and drew out a folding knife glowing with crimson patterns.

The White Snake coiled around King Vulture sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the knife and immediately let out a hissing sound!

"Careful, that knife of his is not right!"

King Vulture whispered, and Nineteen sneered.

"Don't worry, being careful isn't going to save you!"

"Shing -!"

He lunged instantly toward Kitty's position.

Their past combat experience made it clear to Nineteen exactly who the easiest target among this group was!

As a veteran member of the 'Marauders,' Nineteen had never harbored thoughts like "challenge the strongest" or "enjoy the thrill of battle."

Those kinds of ideas belonged to natural-born powerhouses and geniuses like Sister Fish with her 'Unique Class.'

</path>PlanFamily Trips

Nineteen knew very well that he was nothing like 'Fish.'

So, in battle, he only ever considered how to achieve "victory."

Even though he talked big, saying things like "numbers are meaningless," that was just to boost his own momentum.

When it actually came down to fighting, you strike the weak first and reduce the enemy's numbers!

Even a lion hunting a rabbit uses its full strength!

"Chlorpromazine - back me up!"

The folding knife slashed toward Kitty as Nineteen shouted.

"On it!"

Chlorpromazine shouted back, then hurled his shurikens in a devious arc toward King Vulture and Fu Luo, cutting off their forward path to prevent them from reinforcing Kitty.

King Vulture retreated to dodge, but only heard a "shink" as the shuriken sliced open her lower abdomen.

"Damn! Those shurikens have illusion magic on them!"

King Vulture cursed, then glanced at Fu Luo, who stood completely still and unharmed.

That shuriken had fallen to the ground, having missed its mark.

Chlorpromazine looked at the unmoving Fu Luo and praised him: "So the illusion was seen through, and you even managed to overcome your survival instinct and stay frozen in place... Interesting!"

Fu Luo responded with only a cold laugh: "Cheap tricks!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kitty let out a scream.

"Ah!"

The blood-red folding knife slashed into her thigh, blood spraying everywhere.

But that strike... was originally a downward slash aimed at her chest!

Lin Yu shouted from behind her: "Sister, move on your own! That one over there isn't an illusion!"

Old Yao, the character he was playing, was panting heavily as he yanked Kitty backward at the last possible moment, just barely saving her from a fatal hit.

"Interesting, you 'Thief' sure are quick!"

Nineteen praised him, then raised the folding knife again.

His figure shifted in a blur, appearing at Lin Yu's side and behind him.

"Watch this!"

That slash seemed meant to run both Lin Yu and Kitty through in one stroke.

Lin Yu turned his head back, a look of terror on his face.

But at that moment...

Lin Yu's mind was, of course, perfectly calm.

"Now - make your move!"

Lin Yu transmitted a message through spiritual energy.

And the one receiving that message...

Was naturally the 'Soul-Draining Vine' already hidden on Nineteen's body!

Shing!

Nineteen's movements suddenly froze, his face twisting with shock and pain.

Dry, withered vines began to sprout and spread across his body.

"What... this is, this is the Soul-Draining Vine?! How is that possible!"

"Where did this Soul-Draining Vine come from? When did it parasitize me!"

"Hehehe..."

Another strange voice rang out from his throat.

"Of course I had my eye on you back on the airship... this body of yours is the strongest among this group."

Hearing his own voice speak like that, Nineteen's face twisted with rage.

"Stop lying to me! The one on the airship was clearly supposed to be the Mirage Soul!"

The moment he said that, mist surged forth.

"Oh~"

A voice sounded from the doorway.

"I was indeed on the airship, but that doesn't mean... I was the only one there."

A figure emerged from the mist, and Nineteen was even more horrified.

Because the figure that stepped out of the fog... was unmistakably himself!
