Allen and Rebellion were walking in the corridor of light.

It was a tunnel overflowing with vibrant colors. No doors, no rooms, no walls, only a single path.

Allen felt as if he was walking in a kaleidoscope, with countless colors flowing past them at a rapid rate. Sometimes, these colors blended and merged into one, causing Allen to feel dizzy from the overwhelming visual sensation.

This seems to be the shortcut towards the Celestial, Rebellion knows on the way to the God Realm. Using an artifact created by the gathering of God’s power, it can lead someone directly to the Celestial Realm –The Corridor of Light!

However, this was only a one-time only item and Rebellion set this aside for the moment she found her lord, Dante.

As they were walking through the corridor, suddenly the scene before their eyes froze. The strong Colors vibrated and slowly faded. Defects appeared here and there were even some of the polygons that were flashing with lights just now, had disappeared, and a noise like lightning could be heard throughout the corridor.

“The space…is crumbling!!?” Rebellion cried out in horror!! Her expression paled.

“What!?” Allen’s eyes widened in shock.

“Master! This is bad!” Rebellion retreated and grabbed Allen’s hand, tightly. “I don’t know what happened but the space is crumbling!”

“Crumbling!?”

“That is right! If I need to take a guess… the world boundary is obstructing our crossing, treating as illegal trespassers and it’s driving us away!” Rebellion gritted her teeth. How did she not think of this before? “I haven’t used something like this before so I couldn’t think of this possibility but now…”

The Corridor of light wasn’t a proper artifact. It can even be said to be an illegal item…

She had known this but never did she expected for this to happen. What a mistake for her!!

“What will happen now…?”

“The space created by the Corridor of Light will be squashed by the two world’s powers.” Rebellion gritted her teeth in frustration.

Listening to her, Allen was startled. He then discovered that the space around him was twisting at a rapid speed and even his aura and power slowly scattered away, like a dandelion being blown about in the wind.

Allen’s heart instantly went cold. His surroundings began to blur, and his body started shaking as if he were drunk. However, this was far more unpleasant than being drunk. In the first place, as someone like him, he wasn't someone to get drunk no matter how many glass or bottles he drinks. Thus this was really the first time.

Then, something like a sharp cone piercing him, followed by a massive migraine.

“Uugh –!?”

Allen groaned and his eyes narrowed as he fell to his knees. He felt his thoughts slowed down, and it was like he was living a nightmare; he was obviously conscious, but it was impossible for him to move. Even breathing was difficult.

If he was a normal human –he would certainly be dead by now!

Even if he was an Emperor ranked Superhuman, if his body wasn’t as tough and magical as Dragons, he thought his body wouldn’t be able to endure this kind of feeling!

The rainbow-colored lights in front of him continued to distort and become a distorted mess. The energy of the space lines was extremely chaotic and messed up as if a storm was blowing through it.

Allen grits his teeth and immediately arcs of lightning surrounded him. He had a hard time talking.

“Master!?” Rebellion stared at Allen in horror. She wasn’t feeling anything since she wasn’t a human, to begin with, and was just a personification of a God Tier Artifact. Even if there’s no air to breathe, she wouldn’t be affected.

But Allen was different.

“… …” Allen looked at Rebellion.

Rebellion felt Allen’s gaze and smiled faintly. “Don’t worry master; I will certainly let you out safely!”

Without hesitation, Rebellion embraced Allen and their body was swallowed by a golden light. 'I’m not trusting those Gods again in my life!!' Rebellion cursed inwardly. Although she was also at blame but this, this situation was clearly made by those Gods since they were the ones who had made that item; [ Corridor of Light ].

Rebellion mustered all her power in that instant and immediately a golden light flashed.

Must protect the master!!

*** ***

The battle suddenly changed.

Eerika and the other knights stared at the scene aghast, not believing what had just happened.

In front of them was a huge crater. In the center of the crater was a figure in black, probably unconscious. The figure was lying no the ground, motionless while around him was a gore one can make vomit nonstop in disgust. Some demons were even had their limbs torn off and didn’t die right away, so they held onto their wounds and screamed and whined like little children……

This was like a living hell in front of them.

Blood splattered on the ground and limbs scattered one to two meters away from him and something like an intestine littered the ground.

This was what left from the Demon Bull; Rugara.

All that was left of the terrifying demon were some chipped bones and flesh.

It all happened so fast.

Eerika and the other people could only stare at the scene in front of them while being showered by the 'bloody rain' and their amours and inner clothes were all soaked in red. Chipped bones and flesh also covered the surface of their bodies.

Seeing this hell, Eerika wanted to speak but couldn’t. She then fell on her butt, dumbfounded and terrified. Only a few meters from her! If 'that' shifted even for a bit, instead of those demons, they would certainly be the ones smashed into a pulp.

Is this luck...? Or just an almost misfortune...?

“Y, young miss…” The knight leader turned his head and looked at Eerika, his movement looked like a machine that hasn’t been oiled for quite a long time already.

Eerika took a deep breath to calm her nerves and looked at the figure lying at the center of the crater. A youth with a silver hair and black clothes. No swords, no weapons, nothing…

Who is this youth…?

Eerika looked at the Demons that were spared from the collision and her eyes narrowed. “Clean the aftermath!” Her attitude decisive.

“As you wish!” Hearing Eerika’s orders, the knight leader along with his subordinates immediately rushed towards the Demons that were still alive and started killing them off.

Eerika, on the other hand, jumped down into the Crater and slowly walked towards the silver–haired youth.

“Young Miss!” The knight leader was startled and immediately killed his opponent then rushed towards Eerika. “That’s dangerous!”

Eerika ignored the knight leader and slowly approached the youth. At this moment, when she was less than two meters away, something flashed from the youth’s chest, startling Eerika and the knight leader behind them.

However, before they could react, they saw what it was.

A grey colored mucus–like substance.

“A slime…!?” Eerika exclaimed as she recognized the monster.

“It’s a metal slime!” The Knight leader also muttered in shock.

The slime that was originally at the size of a small puddle suddenly expanded and then covered the entire body of the youth. Then under the disbelieving eyes of Eerika, it slowly transformed into a grey colored humanoid girl.

She was covering the youth’s body while baring her teeth as if threatening Eerika not to come closer. On her right hand was a dagger-like weapon. She was swinging it towards Eerika as if telling her that if she approached them, she would lodge that dagger at her.

“A high level mutated slime…!” The knight leader exclaimed in shock. This kind of slime was extremely dangerous and very rare.

“Wait, we’re not an enemy,” Eerika spread her palms in front of the slime, showing that she has no evil intentions.

But the slime didn’t let her guard down and instead waved the dagger at them. When the slime saw Eerika and the knight leader stepped back, the slime finally dropped down the dagger.

The slime slowly wriggled and turned around.

When Eerika once again tried to speak, she was suddenly stumped when the slime started inspecting the youth’s body. When it found a wound, Eerika and the knight leader could see the slime’s expression changed, showing a hurt expression. It seems like it was on the verge of crying!

What a human–like expression!?

This is impossible!!

They had never seen this kind of slime before. And judging from its person–like reactions and behaviors, its level was certainly extremely high. Though, this was the first time they had seen a monster slime like this.

The slime started caressing the wound and in an instant, a mucus–like substance covered it. Eerika and the others didn’t know what is going on but then they suddenly saw the wound started to close up at an astonishing speed.

A healing… slime!?

That’s impossible! It’s clearly a metal slime!

Don’t tell me… a dual attribute slime…!?

*** The Slime saw that the wound finally close up but then when it raised its head and looked at the youth’s face, it frowned. Still not waking up…?

The slime looked at the youth’s body but couldn’t find anything. She raised her arms and raised the youth’s head, hugging it tightly. It was opening its mouth as if calling him.

But the youth was still unconscious.

Even still, the slime girl continued to hug the youth's head and opened her mouth. If she had a vocal cord and possess the ability to speak, the slimes voice would surely echo in the entire forest. Was it crying? Was it calling his name?

Eerika was moved by the Slime’s actions and slowly walked closer. The slime saw her and a dagger once again materializes in her hands.

“Wait!” Eerika called out.
