The Entrance For The Demonic Forbidden Grounds

Ethan's heart suddenly filled with hope. Just a moment ago, he felt that he no longer had any hope and was about to die.

But when he read the System's notification, he felt that a huge burden was lifted from his heart.

Hope!

He now had a hope. The hope for life. He looked at the Hamilton. And to his pleasant surprise, Hamilton was on the ground just like him.

The suppression from the commotion of opening the gates of the Demonic Forbidden Grounds had even suppressed Hamilton. So, even Hamilton cannot move as freely as himself.

Even though the infiltrated Black Smoke is worrisome, for the time being, he is safe. All he had to do was wait for the opening of the gate which led to Demonic Forbidden Grounds.

As the Demonic Forbidden Grounds are opening, Ethan has an even bigger advantage. Only Elementary Stage Cultivators can enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds. And the Hamilton is a Physique Strengthening Stage expert.

Ethan could enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds. But Hamilton couldn't because of his cultivation at the Physique Strengthening Stage.

And when he enters the Demonic Forbidden Grounds, his first priority is to find a way to get rid of the infiltrated Black Smoke.

And then, he had to find a way to cure the Assassin. The Assassin was originally a Physique Strengthening Stage expert. He shouldn't have permission to enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds.

But when he was seriously injured by the Dark Grimm Grotto, his cultivation was dropped to the Elementary Stage.

So, the Assassin can enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds. Ethan didn't know whether this was good news or bad news for the Assassin.

But considering the situation they were in, this is a piece of good news for both of them. At least, they can stay alive for the time being.

And when they enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds, both of them will be safe. Since, Hamilton couldn't enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds, until the Demonic Forbidden Grounds closes, their lives are safe.

But whether Hamilton will be persistent and wait for them until the Demonic Forbidden Ground closes, Ethan had no idea. So, all he can hope is that Hamilton will not pursue this matter and take his leave.

"What the hell is happening?"

Hamilton who had no idea the reason behind this sudden violent quake shouted in frustration. He was going mad out of frustration.

It might looked easy, but only Hamilton knew just how much effort it took to suppress this Elementary Stage Cultivator. He even had to use his Abyssal Dagger.

It might look easy on the surface. But only Hamilton knew just what kind of terrifying opponent Ethan would turn into if he wasn't killed when his strength hadn't matured yet.

This is the reason why Hamilton placed high importance on killing Ethan at any cost. He even used the Abyssal Dagger just to kill this Elementary Stage Cultivator.

All his efforts were about to come to fruition. But just when his goal was about to be achieved, this sudden violent quake came and everything looked bad right now.

Even he couldn't move. The suppression from this quake is suppressing even a peak Physique Strengthening Stage expert like him. What can he say?

The violent quake became even more violent. An invisible force was suppressing both Etha and Hamilton forcing both of them to kneel on the ground.

As both of them were suppressed, a black light suddenly appeared in their eyes not far from their positions.

Both Hamilton and Ethan took guard for something unexpected. But there was nothing they could have done. Both of them were suppressed and were forced to kneel on the ground because of the suppression. Taking guard was futile. Taking guard was just an instinctive response from them.

As they watched, that black light widened. As the black light widened, the suppression of both Ethan and Hamilton grew even more violent. Both of them were suppressed and were no longer kneeling on the ground. They were now lying on the ground due to the force of suppression.

The black light widened and became a large portal door that led to somewhere. Hamilton didn't know what was going on. But Ethan knew from the earlier System's Notification that this black portal leads to the Demonic Forbidden Grounds!

At that time, a wisp of black light flew from the Portal that was formed from the Black Light. This black light fell on the three of them. Ethan, the Assassin and even Hamilton have now become the target of this black light.

When both Ethan and Hamilton who had no idea what was going on witnessed everything, they put up some guard.

Later something unexpected happened. The force of suppression of both Ethan and the Assassin loosened while the suppression of Hamilton increased even further.

And then, the black light intensified a little and threw back Hamilton 100 meters away.

"What the hell?", Hamilton who had no idea what was going on shouted in both fear and anger. He was a little terrified.

Ethan stood up with great difficulty. The black smoke which infiltrated his body had now completely died down thanks to the black light from the portal.

He had no idea why exactly this happened in the beginning. But very soon, the System explained everything.

[An unknown energy is inspecting the User's cultivation.]

[It is identified that this black light is the source power of the Demonic Forbidden Grounds]

[User has the Cultivation base in the Elementary Stage.]

[The User is now eligible to enter the Demonic Forbidden Grounds]

[The Source energy of the Demonic Forbidden Grounds has identified that the infiltrated Black Smoke as the power at the level of Meridians Opening Stage and destroyed it.]

[The User no longer has any harmful substances of the Abyssal Dagger's Level 4 beast power]

[Danger!]

[Danger!]

[User's foundation had been damaged due to the Black Smoke's infiltration!]

[The User's cultivation has dropped to the 5th Level of the Elementary Stage!]

[The User is recommended to find below mentioned medical ingredients to stabilise the foundation]

[5 drops of bamboo spring water, 3 leaves of the Mangrove tree and the root of the aquatic bamboo tree]

When Ethan read this, he initially sighed. But he knew that this was not the time to be disappointed. An opportunity was right in front of him. The opportunity to escape from this disaster.

As for instability in his cultivation, that was something to worry about for another day. First, he had to escape from the disaster in front of him.

As for what happens in the Demonic Forbidden Grounds, that is secondary for now. In order to escape from the current calamity, he had to enter through the Portal that will lead to the Demonic Forbidden Grounds.

Ethan stood up. He walked towards the unconscious Assassin and took s deep breathe.

Just as Ethan was about to carry the Assassin on his back, Ethan's eyes fell on an object which was not far from him.

It was this object which is the source of all his trouble.

Abyssal Dagger!
