章節 1212: Pursuer

There was not much time to talk. If the Guardian of a Category Four Gate was really on their trail, then they needed to run. 

Even if Nephis was wrong, the creature they had met was immeasurably strong. Considering its power and frightening level of intelligence, it had to be a Great Devil, at least. It was much more likely to be a Tyrant, or something even more terrifying. 

Sunny had killed a Great Devil once… but that was not a real kill. The Spawn of the Vile Thieving Bird had been unborn, and weakend by thousands of years of neglect in the branches of the Soul Devouring Tree. More than that, Sunny had only survived that encounter because of his unique soul composition.

Only after meeting an actual Great Nightmare Creature did he realize how harrowing these beings truly were. The thing pretending to be Ascended Xu… was not even the real body of the abomination. Most likely, it was simply one of its manifestations.
