Witches made alliances through illusion and reality, then used the alliance as a stepping stone to utilize the magical powers of nature. They could also use their dreamland as a way to train, so they would have this terrifying ability to be much more powerful when they returned to reality.
Even in reality, when they encounter an inevitable crisis, witches could make use of their alliances’ power to enter into their dreamland and avoid any danger. It was something similar to avoiding death through teleportation, which was the principle of the Broken Lizard Tail method that Nasira used previously.
However, that monster’s fluid was still sticking onto Nasira, and even after she entered her dreamland, she was not able to completely get rid of it. It was horrifying because this meant that the tentacle monster’s fluid had a certain degree of spiritual energy polluting toxicity.
She quickly ran into a tunnel, sat down at the side of the passage while gasping for air and quickly took out all sorts of things from her pocket. She placed all of them on the ground and sculpted an eye-like figure.
“Move.” She whispered.
The eye-like figure suddenly moved on its own and disappeared into the ground.
Thump!!
The tunnel started shaking violently, but Nasira was not surprised; she knew that it was the bombs that she planted previously. Even though bombs infused with the power of witches were much more powerful than the usual bombs, she did not expect it to be able to stop that monster.
She stood up and got ready to continue running forward, but before she could, a thick tentacle appeared out of nowhere, popped up behind her, and it fiercely smashed onto her back through the darkness.
Bang! Poof!
Nasira spat a mouthful of blood, ran forward quickly and disappeared around the corner.

Berlin
“What is that thing?” Kabb had a dignified look on his face despite the sweat dripping down his temple.
He was standing at the center of the campsite and looking at the crowd surrounding him with vigilance, while Medis stood by his side with an equally tense look.
In just less than ten minutes, there was suddenly a man lying unconscious in the campsite, which wouldn’t have been a big deal except that man’s entire body had started decaying like rotten meat while he was unconscious. The surface of his skin was like a tattered cloth, upon which traces of dried out wounds could be seen. Through the wounds, the shriveled muscles underneath the skin could be seen, without even a tiny bit of blood oozing. A total of four to five people have collapsed without reason.
It was why Kabb and the rest of them were on high alert.
They immediately found that there seemed to be a black string-like thing that was wandering around the campsite, and when it found an opportunity, it would drill into a person’s skin.
A few of them had to shoot frenziedly in order to cut it into a few parts.
“Take it to the laboratory to study it,” Kabb ordered after nothing weird happened again, only then did he take out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat.
“How do we get the secret of Garen’s combat club?” Medis calmed down and asked with a low voice.
“The preparation continues.”
Ahh!!!
Suddenly, a scream was heard coming from the direction of the guards patrolling in the forest.
“Who’s that!?” Bang Bang bang!! a burst of gunshots was fired, accompanied by a few grenade explosions.
All they could see in the forest were a few black shadows and the patrolling guards of the Bailey Group being entangled together.
“They are the people from Nighthawk! Retreat!!” the patrolling captain shouted.
Instantly, Kabb was surrounded by a large group of people who were trying to protect him. His eyelids were twitching intensely, and when he looked at his surroundings carefully, all he could see was his patrolling officers falling to the ground one by one.
That few black shadows were running in his direction at great speed.
The lights in the campsite shone onto one of the black shadows who was standing in front, which exposed his appearance, he was a young looking ordinary man. However, he was dressed in black from head to toe, along with a decisive and ruthless temperament.
“How dare you spy on the combat club’s transport team… Berlin Group, how dare you!” the men were wearing black metal gloves with sharp metal thorns at the knuckle, making it look ferociously abnormal and there were even blood stains on top of it.
“Retreat!” Kabb immediately gave this command after he recognized this man.
Xander, the first batch of members of the club’s elite team, who once killed a number of armed forces and then disappeared. Now it seemed like he’d become even more cruel and stronger.
Kabb squatted down, secretly walked away from the crowd and went into a camouflaged car under the cover of Medis. Once the doors and windows of the car were tightly shut, he was relieved.
“They had such a strong alertness!” he wiped off his sweat, and the car started moving silently towards a faraway direction before speeding up to escape. As for the rest of them, as long as they died off, they would be unable to chase after him. Moreover, in no time, reinforcements would arrive, and since now the combat club was lacking in manpower, Xander alone would not be able to do much.
“The harder they try to protect it, the more important it is to them!” Kabb’s eyes flickered, “Just in time for us to test the group of people that we have just trained.”
Medis had just wiped her sweat off with a tissue, thrown it into a rubbish bin and loosened her bow tie.
“I’ll inform them now.”
“If the information we got from the Primary Colors is accurate, then Xander will be the only one there, as the rest of them have been sent off to do other stuff. This will be our best chance to snatch the box,” Kabb whispered. “Inform Gremlin from the Primary Colors and tell him that we can do it together, and we can split what we got in half.”
It was proven that with just a little secret technique, they were able to get so much stronger, hence if he were to get even more records of the secret technique related information, it would enhance their strength in a terrifying way….
“Gather everyone who’s available, I’m sure that I will be able to get it!” he clenched his teeth and a glimpse of determination flashed through his eyes.
“Then should I move them here too?” Medis asked tentatively. Ever since the previous attack on the Nighthawks, their mercenary troop had suffered a heavy loss. Subsequently, the Nighthawks and the combat club have been taking revenge against them, and if they were to gather all their manpower now, they might just be completely annihilated.
“Just do it! As long as we get it, I will reward them with 20 million euros! I don’t believe they won’t want it!” Kabb clenched his teeth.
“We might not have enough time.”
“It doesn’t matter, they will not be back anytime soon, as long as that thing is still on the road, we can always stop it!”
The both of them did not notice that when their car left the forest, a black shadow was standing there quietly, that person had bloody eyes and was wearing a black round cap, and he quietly watched as their car left.
“What’s the matter? Did you find anything new?” the shadow heard a woman’s voice coming from behind.
“I found something interesting, there’s a truck that seems to be carrying the more important belongings of the combat club and this guy found out about it, so he intends to rob it,” the black shadow spoke with an authentic Berliner accent.
“This human’s organization is very secretive…” the woman muttered,”Their leader Garen is busy with Wellington now, and I was told that this man is terrifyingly powerful and we need to immediately retreat the moment we run into him.”
“Oh?” The black shadow suddenly showed some interest. “I didn’t mishear you right… We are the upper-level blood breeds, but we need to retreat?”
“Weidi and Yelu almost died.” the woman answered quietly.
The black shadow seemed to be stunned; he did not know how to react to that.
“Are you joking?” he asked. “Yaludo is much stronger than me, but he almost died?”
“That’s what I heard, but I do not know the details. Isn’t it obvious, since the leader sent us here to investigate it?” the woman said solemnly.
“That’s surprising….” The black shadow shook his head. “If that’s true, then I’m interested in what are they shipping in the truck.”
“It is.”
The black shadow sneered, gradually became more transparent and slowly disappeared.
********************
“Anyone who enters the garden will not be able to escape death…” AG gently stroked on the writings on the wall. They had been written in ancient German letters and had been carved into the walls ages ago.
He continued touching downwards and used the torch to light up his sight.
“No one can escape the grim reaper’s curse, so repent, sinners!” AG read the words out one by one with a straight face. He seemed to be thinking about something.
“Anil’s Garden?” he used to study this mysterious place. It was a confined infinite space loop, and if he could not find a way out, he would never be able to leave.
AHH!!!
Suddenly, he heard a scream coming from the tunnel in front. It sounded like the thousand-legged serpent!
AG had a nervous look on his face. He put his hands down and his body floated about ten meters forward. After moving through dozens of meters through that method, he soon approached the source of the sound.
“According to the distance of the sound, this is indeed the source of the sound…”
AG stopped and looked at the empty black tunnel. There was a forked road in front of him, on top of the stone walls of the forked road, there was a three-headed human-shaped statue with six arms and three eyes. The statue looked neither like a male or a female, though it was at the center of the forked road and it was staring downwards furiously. All six hands were holding something respectively, there was a water bottle, a circular ring, an ax, a ribbon, a short dagger, and a long stick.
Just when he was not paying attention to what was behind him, a group of transparent distortions rose up from the ground soundlessly. The group of distortions was gradually getting bigger before it opened up like a wide-open mouth and approached him slowly.
While AG was still looking at that statue, he seemed to have thought of something important.
***************
“I’m back at the starting point,” Garen frowned as he looked at the hole that he made on the wall.
‘This place is an infinite space loop, without a higher dimensional skill, you will never be able to get out of here,’ Black Sethe explained. ‘Unfortunately, these skills do not exist in my memory, only a few traces of it, which should be due to the incomplete memory. ‘
“A higher dimension? Something like Klein’s bottle?” Garen stood still.
‘Klein’s bottle? What is that? ‘
Garen suddenly remembered that it was the physical conception of the Earth.
“Nothing.”
Both ways were endless dark passages, so he tried punching the walls on his sides, and the ground was now littered with small piles of crushed rock pieces.
“We might find a solution if we find the others.” Garen felt like he was not able to solve this issue alone.
‘Then continue to move forward, try to smash the passage on your sides and see if you can get into other passages,’ Black Sethe suggested. ‘Since there’s no other way, destroying this place might be useful.’
“It’s the only way.”
