Mo Fan quickly backed away, but the eyes kept following him around. The more he looked at them, the stronger the fear inside his heart grew.

Mo Fan forcibly closed his eyes. His surroundings turned pitch-black. He initially thought he would be able to escape the stare of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus, but the ghastly eyes continued to appear in his mind and project fear into his heart. He started having trouble breathing properly.

Most terrifyingly, there were no longer just six eyes. It was like a dozen or more Dreadful Curse Cerberus were surrounding him. Over a hundred eyes engulfed in flames were staring at him. It was so horrifying that it felt like his spirit would scatter like ash!

Mo Fan was utterly spooked. The Eyes of Terror of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus were overwhelming. Even he was feeling tortured, despite his fourth-stage mental strength.

As Mo Fan was struggling to break free from the fear inflicted on him, his necklace started emitting a watery blue light. It began to spread like ripples, each wave soothing Mo Fan's heart as it was on the verge of being crushed into pieces!

Mo Fan finally regained consciousness after some time. He could not open his eyes, yet he could hear Mu Ningxue's scream.

”Mo Fan! Wake up!” Mu Ningxue was shoving Mo Fan heavily. She sounded panicked.

Mo Fan opened his eyes. Before he could come to his senses, he was shocked to see the body of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus looming up right before him. It had raised its burning, rotten paws right above him.

Mo Fan's heart pounded. He glanced at Mu Ningxue, who did not escape to save herself. He calmed his thoughts in the nick of time.

”Grab onto me!” Mo Fan reached his hand out and hugged Mu Ningxue around her waist.

Mu Ningxue shuddered when Mo Fan wrapped his arm around her waist, but she knew now was not the time to complain.

”Blink!” Mo Fan endured both the physical and mental pressure he was under and forcibly cast the Advanced Spell of the Space Element.

Silver stars rapidly appeared and formed Star Orbits and Star Patterns under Mo Fan's feet. Even though their pace was dazzling, the Dreadful Curse Cerberus' paws were only inches away...

”How naive, are you seriously trying to use the Advanced Space Spell in the short period of time you have!?” Houndman scoffed disdainfully.

The Space Element was regarded as the most complicated Element. Not many people were able to use it adeptly or perfectly master it. A Space Mage needed a lot of time to practice and improve the Space Element, which basically meant they would have to sacrifice the time to practice their other Elements!

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus stomped down. The ground cracked open as rock splinters scattered in all directions. The force continued to spread out, knocking the trees down. The force almost razed the entire woods to the ground. The area affected by the blow was over two hundred meters across!

The silver light dots were as small as fireflies, and swayed and dimmed amid the flying dust. The Dreadful Curse Cerberus slowly raised its front paw...

Normally, the Dreadful Curse Cerberus enjoyed the sensation of the viscous blood of its prey sticking onto its paws whenever it crushed them into pulp. Even though its prey was humans this time, meaning there would not be much blood, it was more satisfying for the creature, knowing that it had avenged its fallen comrade!

The creature lifted its paws half a meter into the air, yet there was nothing below it, apart from some rock splinters, not even a single drop of blood.

Houndman and the Dreadful Curse Cerberus were shocked. Master and servant finally realized their prey had already escaped!

”How did he do it!?” Houndman exclaimed.

Regardless of how quick Blink was, he still needed a certain time to channel the spell, especially when it involved constructing a Star Constellation made up of 343 Stars. How could the kid possibly cast the spell so quickly?

”Flame sword!”

Mo Fan suddenly appeared behind the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. He swung a huge burning sword forward in the shape of a crescent.

The damage of the flame sword had nothing to do with its sharpness. It was purely abusing the explosive energy when the flames were compressed together. It immediately unleashed its destructive force when it landed on the Dreadful Curse Cerberus.

The flames of the Ardent Sunset and Calamity Fire spread rapidly after knocking the Dreadful Curse Cerberus flying. The creature was soon engulfed in flames. It cried wildly as it was being burned by the flames.

”It looks like it didn't have time to set up its barrier!” Mu Ningxue realized the creature's weakness when she saw the scorched wound left by the flame sword on the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound.
